The Records of the Human Emperor

“Your Highness, we just received word that Zhang Zheng’s Beiting Protectorate army has already reached Crouching Tiger Pass!”

Cheng Sanyuan strode into the hall and got down on one knee.

“But there is still no sign of Su Hanshan’s forces yet. Should we send another letter to the triangular gap to push him into action?”

Upon hearing this request from Cheng Sanyuan, Wang Chong blinked and came back to his senses.

“There’s no need!” Wang Chong said calmly, slowly moving his eyes off the giant model.

“There’s no need to worry about Zhang Zheng. Let Su Hanshan do what he wants! He is more than capable of handling this matter.”

As one of the last Great General talents of the apocalyptic era, Su Hanshan was far more capable than Zhang Zheng. And through the tempering of Talas and Khorasan, he had already begun to develop his edge.

“Starting from now, you just need to keep a close eye on Big Dipper, Anxi, and the capital. In addition, have Zhang Que report to me on the Beiting Protectorate army’s position every six hours,” Wang Chong sternly said.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Cheng Sanyuan sternly responded.

“Reporting!”

As the two were speaking, a guard rushed into the hall.

“Your Highness, we just received a letter from the palace. This information is of an extremely high level, and only Your Highness has the right to open the letter!”

The guard got down on one knee and offered the letter with both hands. Cheng Sanyuan glanced at the mark of three large flames on the letter and grimaced.

Information levels!

Wang Chong had developed a system for ranking information. The higher the level, the more secretive and important the information was, and the fewer the people that could read the report. The three flames on the letter marked this letter as belonging to the highest level of information. In other words, this letter was written for Wang Chong’s eyes only. Not even Zhang Que had the right to read it.

Cheng Sanyuan had served Wang Chong for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen a letter of this level.

Wang Chong reached out with his hand, and the letter flew into it like an arrow.

“It’s a letter from Yang Zhao!”

Wang Chong almost instantly recognized a familiar mark on the letter. It was a signal that had been arranged between Yang Zhao and Wang Chong beforehand, and was to only be used for extremely important matters.

Swish!

Wang Chong opened the envelope and removed the letter. With only one glance, Wang Chong paled, and by the time he reached the end, his face had turned extremely grim.

The hall was quiet, an uneasy mood in the air.

“Your Highness, what happened?”

Cheng Sanyuan had been focused on Wang Chong this entire time, and had watched his expression turn graver and graver. It was extremely rare for Wang Chong to appear this serious.

“See for yourself!”

Wang Chong flicked the letter over to Cheng Sanyuan.

Cheng Sanyuan took the letter, glanced at it, and felt like he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

‘The Tongluo are rebelling! Abusi has joined the First Prince!’

The first line had already turned Cheng Sanyuan ghastly pale.

“How could it be like this?”

Cheng Sanyuan felt his heart sink.

‘The Tongluo do not exceed ten thousand, and are invincible above it.’ This was a saying that praised the strength of the Tongluo Cavalry. While the Tongluo could not truly be said to be invincible, in the Battle of Talas, the Tongluo Cavalry had exhibited their terrifying might to the world.

The Revelation Army of Arabia had dominated the battlefield, even pushing through the Divine Martial Army, Divine Prison Army, and Xuanwu Army. Only when the Tongluo Cavalry arrived was it finally stopped, dealing the Arabs a heavy blow at a critical moment.

In terms of pure fighting power, the Tongluo Cavalry were not inferior to the Wushang Cavalry. If they were weaker, it was only by an extremely small margin.

More importantly, only a few thousand Tongluo Cavalry had been sent to Talas, but ten thousand Tongluo Cavalry were garrisoned in the capital, a terrifying force that could influence the entire conflict.

“Your Highness, what do we do?”

Cheng Sanyuan felt his heart thumping against his chest.

This was the capital. Wang Chong couldn’t gather soldiers like he could at the border, and a battle with the Tongluo would lead to a large-scale and gruesome conflict.

The entire capital would be turned into a sea of fire, and countless common folk would be slaughtered. The battle would be far too fierce to be controlled!

Wang Chong said nothing, and the hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Yang Zhao had delivered the letter, and in an extremely secretive fashion. Yang Zhao was a skilled socializer who had made friends with everyone in the palace, from the highest of consorts to the lowliest of maids, and even the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

This news regarding the Tongluo was something he had come across by chance.

Almost no one knew that the Tongluo had joined the First Prince, and the entire palace remained calm and peaceful. But no wall in the world was impervious, and even the most secretive of news would still leak.

While Abusi was wise and powerful, he had a disappointing son, Abutong. Yang Zhao had obtained this news from Abutong’s mouth.

Yang Zhao’s detailed investigation had quickly revealed that a large amount of treasure had appeared in the Tongluo barracks, and the place was much more heavily guarded than usual. This naturally dispelled any doubts he had left.

After some time, Wang Chong finally broke the silence.

“There’s no need to worry about the Tongluo for the moment. I understand how to proceed!”

Cheng Sanyuan secretly glanced at Wang Chong and was immediately set at ease by the composed and assured expression he saw. Although he didn’t know how his liege would deal with the ten thousand extremely threatening Tongluo Cavalry, whenever Wang Chong said that he had a plan, he always stayed true to his word.

Wang Chong’s body contained limitless possibilities, and no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would always be able to overcome them.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Cheng Sanyuan respectfully said.

“What is the state of our soldiers?” Wang Chong suddenly said.

Cheng Sanyuan got down on one knee and reported, “Everything is going smoothly according to Your Highness’s orders. The first phase of the mission is already complete.”

“Mm.”

Wang Chong nodded.

“Tell them that they are not to make any reckless moves without my order. This is the crucial moment of this uprising, and no mistakes can be allowed!”

“Yes!”

Cheng Sanyuan nodded, his expression turning solemn.

Clap!

Suddenly, the sound of something heavy striking the roof tiles came from above, followed by the sounds of tiles shattering and things rolling across the roof.

“Mm?”

Wang Chong and Cheng Sanyuan looked up in unison. At this point, they could even hear the sharp cry of a bird in the darkness.

Creeee!

The bird’s cry abruptly came to a stop. Thud! A large bird dropped like a stone and crashed into a roof of the King of Foreign Lands Residence.

Bangbangbang!

This was only the beginning, and even more thuds could be heard from the roof.

Wang Chong and Cheng Sanyuan both grimaced, and before Cheng Sanyuan could even react, Wang Chong had already left the hall.

It was very late, so it was dark outside the hall.

Wang Chong had just walked out of the hall when a large and bloodstained rock eagle dropped at Wang Chong’s feet, its neck snapped. Looking up, he immediately saw a terrifying sight.

Above his residence, numerous gyrfalcons, golden hawks, rock eagles, and hunting falcons were battling against another group of birds of prey.

As their sharp cries resounded through the air, feathers drifted down. Small thumps and thuds could be heard in the darkness as one bird of prey fell after another.

A guard, seeing Wang Chong, hastily came over to report. “Your Highness, many gyrfalcons and rock eagles have appeared overhead and are attempting to seize our messenger birds. All of the birds coming in and out of the residence have come under attack. The enemy has sent an extremely large number of birds, and Sir Zhang Que has already dispatched many of his birds to fight back.”

In a flash of light, a man wearing assassin clothes, only his two eyes showing, appeared in front of Wang Chong and got down on one knee. “Your Highness, Lady Miyasame has sent word that many spies have suddenly appeared around the residence. Without a word, they began to attack our own spies. Lady Miyasame has already taken men to hunt them down. The fighting is exceptionally fierce.”

Wang Chong’s expression turned dark and his eyes became like beads of ice.
