The Conceited Young Man

The four mountains and rivers, ten thousand miles.

She had already stood at the summit of the mountain for a very long time. From morning until evening, her gaze seemed to contain a river of stars as she crossed the Yangtze River and cast her gaze over.

"Your Majesty, the wind is blowing."

Eunuch He was a head eunuch whom she had single-handedly promoted. She could still remember when she had forced the palace to steal the throne, all the doors of this palace had been trembling. Only He San'er was different.

She could not remember just how many people had bled that night, but she could never forget that eunuch in the palace. That eunuch who attacked her colleague and dug out his own eyesight after seeing her come was truly too surprising.

"Sigh, after planning for so long, even Sun Fengzhen used his Elite Armament, yet he was going to return with no achievements."

She exhaled softly, her eyes downcast. It had to be said that if it wasn't for the luxurious and graceful dragon robe on her body, she would've been a clean and beautiful woman. However, once one wore this dragon robe, it could not help but give people a sense of distance. This distance was not like the usual coldness that repels people a thousand miles away, and was not deliberately unfamiliar. It made people feel inferior and afraid to disturb them.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace. General Wu Anbang and his courtiers have been waiting for a long time. "

Indeed, it had been long enough. Even now, the civil and military officials still could not understand why this female emperor would issue an imperial edict ordering her to enter the palace. Furthermore, everyone had not seen the female emperor from noon until sunset.

It was evident how influential the female emperor was in the hearts of the officials.

It was no wonder why the civil and military officials were so weak. Honestly speaking, the female emperor was known to usurp power, but her political achievements and methods were also very obvious.

First, he suppressed the voices of those who opposed him with iron blood, and even raised the status of a martial artist. The martial arts ban created by the late emperor could already be said to exist in the name of the dead. At present, most of the important officials in charge of the martial nation were the first martial artists who expressed their desire to follow the female emperor. Among them, Wuan State represents the senior generals, and Sun Fengzhen leads a group of young generals. The corresponding civil servants' statuses plummeted. Of all the people in the imperial court, Zhou Baiyuan was the most lamentable. The old official in charge of humerus was just at home with a title. He would only be able to walk through the assembly and have no opportunity to express his opinion.

"His Imperial Majesty has arrived!"

The unique voice of the Little Yellow Gate was like a morning bell that woke everyone up. They quickly refreshed their muscles and bones to welcome the decisive and decisive number one female emperor of all time.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

His voice was strong and vigorous. Most of the powerful officials in this hall were generals. Other than Sun Fengzhen, who was still waiting on the Yangtze River, all the other high-ranking generals had arrived. But here, the civil officials seemed to be lacking in numbers.

"Rise."

Her tone was light, and she casually sat on the throne with a very contented attitude. It had to be said that Wu Zhaoyi was a very beautiful woman. No wonder the late Emperor had smiled before he died, having died at her hands. Such a woman would make others want to find an excuse for her, even if she had done such a great evil.

"Let's all talk about what you think about Jiangbei."

Wu Anbang's heart skipped a beat. He clearly remembered that he was the first one to jump up to support this plan of the United Prairie. Now that there was such a huge gap between the two, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Your Majesty, perhaps it was due to Lin Chengyan and Xun Bai Liu joining hands that the situation between the north and the south could be communicated in such a strict manner. At the most critical moment, Murong Qian Xun led the troops and guarded the gates of Yanmen.

The female emperor frowned slightly. She had to say that the situation that she didn't want to see the most was for the Chu Country's imperial government to cooperate with the Northwest. She would rather give the imperial government of Chu an arm's worth of support than allow an old general like Chu Huainan to wipe out the estrangement they had painstakingly created. Although it was impossible for Chu Huainan to lead 400,000 Steel Cavalry from the Northwest to attack the imperial government of Chu, as long as he was suppressed, there would be no reason for Chu Huainan to leave the Corridor immediately and fight in the Central Plains Battlefield, she would be able to use Sun Fengzhen as the front and take down the three counties north of the Yangtze River in a flash. Perhaps it would be impossible to break through Chang'an, but as long as they could conquer the three wealthiest counties, they would be able to lead the country's development for several years.

That's right, that year she had found Wang Mingyang and told him about the new situation of the martial arts people. When Chu Huai's distrust of the Chu Country's Imperial Court had increased, she had coincidentally 'met Wang Mingyang, and' coincidentally 'found out about the use of the Netherworld Sword Seed.

Thinking about that, the female emperor thought of that person again. He was the one who had added fuel to the fire, forcing Chu Huai Nan to think of a way to make him let go of his guard and stay in the northwest.

And this fire was the wild invasion of the prairie that year.

That person, dressed in a black robe, entered the imperial study without a sound. Surprisingly, no one had found any trace of him. She had heard the story of the mysterious Black Robe Advisor on the Prairie more than once, and it was this person who had turned the Jail Clan of the Prairie from a tortuous part of the king's courtyard into the current location of the king's courtyard.

She had guessed this long ago, until the day Black Robe appeared in the royal study.

As expected, Wang Ziyi was still alive, and he had even turned the grassland upside down.

This moved the female emperor. She had started her plans earlier, all for the sake of this moment. Yet, her plan had been seen through. This made the female emperor very unhappy.

"Speculation?" "If guessing is useful, what do you need them for?"

Wu Anbang was embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing the court officials fall into silence, the female emperor snorted in dissatisfaction.

Just when she was considering whether she should withdraw Sun Fengzhen's Elite Armament, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps from outside.

"Your Majesty, there's 800 miles of rushed movement from the Yangtze River front!"

The young eunuch hurriedly came to report and respectfully handed over the secret letter in his hand.

When the court officials heard it was from the Yangtze River, they pricked up their ears even though their heads were still lowered.

The female emperor relaxed her frown. To her, as long as there was news, it was fine. As long as something happened in the Yangtze River, regardless of whether it was good or bad, she would have plans for the future. What she didn't want to see was a stalemate like this. In order to become the Martial Arts Master, she had drawn many big cakes for them. In the current state, martial arts were still in existence. If they did not take advantage of the current situation and send troops out to war, they would have lost the initiative.

"Give it to me."

At first, the female emperor was looking at the secret letter solemnly. Slowly, she began to laugh heartily. Her bright and beautiful appearance was too alluring.

"Good! Good! What a good Wang Mingyang, what a good Wang Mingyang. "

There was only one sentence on the letter: Chu Huainan was severely injured.

This was the best news for the female Emperor. What was discord? What was scheming and scheming? They couldn't compare to the cleanliness with which Chu Yinan had died. Only Chu Huai Nan was dead. Even if the four hundred thousand Steel Cavalry from the Northwest were not scattered about due to the pressure of Murong Qian Xun, it would still be impossible for the Northwest to be as rigid as a board. As long as Chu Huainan was gone, some of those generals who had their own ulterior motives would go to the Northwest. This was great.

The female emperor really wanted to burst out laughing, but after considering the fact that all the civil and military officials were present, she had no choice but to suppress this idea. He then told everyone to withdraw from the court, leaving behind only Wu Anbang.

"Take a look."

The female emperor handed the secret letter to Wu Anbang.

Unexpectedly, Wu Anbang was excited at first, but then he frowned.

"Your Majesty, it is true that this secret letter came from the Yangtze River camp, but how can we guarantee the authenticity of the information on this letter?"

In private, the female emperor would never mind the doubts of her trusted aides, and she even encouraged them to give her opinion.

The female emperor looked at Wu Anbang and slowly said, "This secret letter was not written by General Sun. Since that person sent it, it must be true." "What I want to ask you is, how does it work in this situation?"

With regards to his Majesty's belligerent personality, Wu Anbang had already understood it too well. However, he still spoke sincerely with his own views, "We should wait for Chu Yinan to truly die before making a move against the Chu Country. As long as he does not die, even if he does not have a single breath left in his bed, he cannot act rashly towards the Chu Country."

The female emperor was a bit unhappy, but she still patiently asked Wu Anbang, "Why is that?" Was it because of the name of the Northwest King? "No matter how shocking it is, it is just a sick tiger."

Wu Anbang pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Actually, Your Majesty, the most difficult times are often not the most vulnerable. Dilemma, on the other hand, can stimulate one's fighting spirit. If we were to make a move on Chu at this moment, it will definitely incite the wrath of the Northwest. What made people unable to accept the reality of the situation wasn't the huge scale of the country, but the accumulation of disappointment. "If the Emperor of Chu hadn't let his guard down even after arriving at Chu Huainan's place, what would the Northwest Army think? Would they not be in chaos?"

It had to be said that Wu Anbang's analysis was flawless. The female emperor naturally knew that this method was the most suitable one at the moment. It was just that she was unwilling.

"Since that's the case, we shall do as the great general says. However, we should still create some small conflicts for them."

Wu Anbang heaved a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that this battle-loving female emperor would send over a million disciples to fight in the final battle while Chu Huainan was injured. Naturally, he understood what the female emperor meant by 'a small fight'. As long as he didn't force the relationship between the Chu Country's imperial government and the Northwest, there would be no problem in killing a few people.

After establishing the plan, the female emperor no longer kept Wu Anbang waiting in the main hall. As soon as Wu Anbang left, a messenger immediately brought an order to the Yangtze River front. The army did not move, and they sent their elite navy to train in the Yangtze River.

The night wind gradually rose, about to enter autumn.

The female Emperor sat calmly in the hall with her beautiful eyes closed. She was calm and tranquil, and the corner of her mouth held a trace of a smile. Her pure and simple appearance made me feel pity for her.

With a tiger in the heart, sniff the rose.

"..."

Wang Mingyang drank one last mouthful of the raging westerly wind, his eyes shining like torches. He didn't know whether he had made the right decision or the wrong one. If it was before the prince had righteously stepped onto the throne, he would definitely not have doubted his own actions.

"He has already figured out the way to go. As long as he can obtain the control of the imperial government …" This was what Wang Ziyi had told him.

Before, he had already understood that there were always some things lacking when it came to cultivating. After he had reached the unrivalled level in the human world, he had finally understood something, so he had mastered the Serene Spring Sword Seed. To be honest, he didn't know what kind of anger it was. He just felt that when he was condensing the Nether Sprout Sword Seed, he could suddenly sense the sliver of "Dragon Tiger Qi" in the air, so he put in a lot of effort to capture it and seal it in the Nether Spring Sword Seed.

Until a few days ago, when the prince had arrived. Although he had won the battle by half a move, he knew very well that if he were to go all out after losing his sword seed, it would be very difficult for him to win.

However, after this battle, Wang Mingyang was also certain that Wang Ziyi had not finished walking that path, and Wang Mingyang had only just walked that path, but the "Dragon and Tiger Qi" he possessed was not inferior to the one that he had obtained from the Sword Seed of the Nether Springs, which was why he was able to fight with Wang Mingyang.

However, the crucial point was that the sword seed had already been absorbed by Xu Qing. It could be considered to have fused with his body, and to forcefully separate the two was already an extremely difficult task.

Perhaps Wang Ziyi also saw this, and came to find him at this time. and tell yourself which one. But Really... Was he going to let the human blood flow like a river for the sake of the immortal position and the undying realm? Wang Ziyi said that once a general achieves success, his bones will wither and his path to immortality will be long. Why would he yearn for the lives of mortals? He said he was a man who had died once. He didn't belong to the world. After coming here, he had used everything he had learned in his life to help the Martial Emperor become a general, but what was the result? If not for the fact that he had an old relationship with the Minister of the Prison Emperor and had secretly switched with a scapegoat, he would have died a horrible death on the spot.

However, it was precisely because of fortune and misfortune that they had to rely on. He no longer held any expectations for the world under the imperial court. Long ago, Prince Yi had discovered the hidden destiny of the Imperial Family, but someone had spread a part of it into the martial world, causing the martial arts teacher to possess a power that far exceeded the knowledge of ordinary people. But the people of the world all believed that this was because of the cultivation technique, and as long as Prince Yiping was aware of the unusualness of this situation, he was able to find a way out.

To completely disrupt this world, to let the nation not be king and not be king. The destiny of the Dragon and Tiger, which was condensed within the imperial government, became a free object floating in the air. It allowed everyone to become immortal, and everyone could live an eternal life. When this path was opened up, even if thousands or tens of thousands of people died, it would still be worth it.

But Wang Mingyang was not sure. Those who had paid for it, fought for it, and protected it with their lives, were they just going to burn it like that?
