After Ran Min met Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, he had returned to Xuantian City five days ago. During this period, scouts in the city were sent out one after another to check the Qin army's movements in the direction of Xuanming City.
Within five consecutive days.
The Qin army stood still and defended the city. The Xuantian Empire seemed calm, but Yue Fei and Ran Min knew that this was just a brief calm before the storm.
The two of them reported the news of the Qin army's presence in Xuanming City and the capture of Shen Haolin and Xin Peiyun back to Zhanlong City. They believed that Emperor Chu would make arrangements as soon as possible after seeing the news.
However.
at this time.
Emperor Chu had already returned to Zhanlongcheng Palace and ordered Tai Fu Ning Yong to arrange a residence for Jiang Shang. At this time, Xiao Guizi had been waiting outside the imperial study for a long time.
After seeing Ning Yong and Jiang Shang leaving, he quickly entered the palace, bowed and raised his fist and saluted: "Your Majesty, the news from various places is on the wooden case. Please take a look at it."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu sat upright and looked at the memorials on the wooden table in front of him. Although they were not piled up like a mountain, they were piled on top of one another.
"Your Majesty, these memorials and letters come from the White Tiger Empire, Wuyue Empire Ziyun City, Wuchu Ziwei City, and Xuantian City."
Xiao Guizi explained. Emperor Chu raised his hand and was the first to pick up the military report from Xuantian City: "Xiao Guizi, stand down first!"
Three hours later.
Emperor Chu then browsed through all the memorials and letters on the wooden case in front of him and learned what had happened in various countries and places during his absence.
The White Tiger Empire was about to move. The Southern Barbarians tribesmen appeared in White Tiger City. News came from the secret guards that the Southern Barbarians had been summoned by the White Tiger Emperor. After that, they had begun to mobilize their troops and generals. The army began to gather. Apparently, they were preparing to wait for an opportunity to attack the Chu Kingdom. Launch an attack.
In Ziyun City of the Wuyue Empire, Ou Yezi and Chu Yanlong have started mining the spirit stone mines and have gained a lot. This is good news. Emperor Chu is very relieved and happy.
If all the spiritual stone mines in Ziyun City can be mined, the Chu State will undergo a dramatic change, and it is possible to surpass the second-level empire in one fell swoop and compete with many powerful countries of the first-level.
During this time, I returned to Zhanlong City and had a pleasant talk with Jiang Shang along the way. According to him, Emperor Chu had a completely new understanding of the Eastern and Western Continent. Although the Tianhe Moat was a barrier, the Temple of Death had appeared, and Emperor Chu had to take precautions. , so the spiritual stone has a great effect on Chu State.
However, the memorial from Ziwei City surprised Emperor Chu. There was a strange noise in Ziwei City. At that time, locusts covered the sky and covered the sun. It was already late autumn, how could there be a locust disaster?
Visions appeared frequently, and rumors spread among the people: Nine dragons pulled the coffin, the emperor star fell, locust plagues, and the beginning of extinction were signs of the demise of the Chu Kingdom!
Emperor Chu put the memorial from Ziwei City aside and fell into deep thought. He knew that the strange phenomenon must have been caused by someone who wanted to fundamentally disrupt the Chu Kingdom.
But the people witnessed everything with their own eyes, which shows that all this really happened. Since someone did it deliberately, there must be traces to follow. It is best to leave this kind of thing to Di Renjie.
"No matter who dares to confuse the people with lies and illusions in my land, I will definitely make you regret coming to Chu."
As for the memorial from Xuantian City, it was sent back by Yue Fei and Ran Min after they captured Xuantian City. The memorial regarding the Qin Empire's garrison in Xuanming City has not yet arrived at Zhanlong City.
The Emperor of Chu put his hands on the wooden case, picked up the imperial pen, wrote quickly, and completed two edicts in his own handwriting. Then he called Xiao Guizi outside the palace.
"Xiao Guizi, send someone to deliver these two edicts to the Beast Emperor City immediately, and hand them over to Duke Di Renjie and Shen Wansan, the owner of the No. 1 village in the world."
"In addition, pay close attention to every move of the White Tiger Empire. Winter is about to begin. I am worried that they will have large-scale military activities in the near future."
"Slave, I accept the order, go down and do it now!"
Xiao Guizi stepped forward to take the two memorials, turned around and retreated to the Imperial Study Room. Before Chu Emperor suddenly left, Wang Shichong's autographed letter had been sent to Li Shimin in Longdu. Didn't he make any move?
Among the news in front of him, the secret guards did not send any news about the Tang army, which made Emperor Chu a little confused. But then he thought about it, the civil strife in the Longtang Empire was ongoing, and Li Shimin's biggest opponents were still the prince and King Qi.
While Emperor Chu was deep in thought, Xiao Guizi left and returned, quickly entered the palace, stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, there is the latest news from Xuantian City, White Tiger Empire, and Beast Emperor City."
Three pieces of news arrived at Zhanlong City at the same time. The news came one after another. Emperor Chu felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to signal Xiao Guizi to hand over the memorial.
"The White Tiger Empire army, led by the three Lei Yan brothers, raised troops to go to the Longxiao Empire. Are they preparing to intervene in the Longxiao war? It seems that the enemy the Overlord will face next is not simple."
Emperor Chu muttered to himself, but he was a little confused. Lei Yan led the White Tiger Army and should have launched an attack on the Chu Kingdom, but he chose to go to the Longxiao Empire instead.
Were they invited to help the Longxiao Empire repel Xiang Yu, or did they want to take the opportunity to carve up Longxiao? If it was the latter, Emperor Chu felt that such an opportunity could not be missed, and he must also send troops to get a share of the pie.
"Xiao Guizi, later send an order to Shen Xingjun who is stationed in Qingchao County, and ask Bai Qi to lead his troops to the edge of the Longxiao Empire to wait for an opportunity. Bai Qi has the sole discretion to decide everything."
The words fell.
When the Beast Imperial City was opened, a report came that the train and rails had been forged. Lu Ban, Mo Gong, and Shen Kuo hoped that they could return to the Beast Imperial City to witness the trial operation of the train.
In addition, Mo Gong was assassinated five days ago and was seriously injured. Currently, Mo Gong is hiding in the Academy of Sciences and does not dare to show up.
The assassination of Mo Gong is not a trivial matter. The current trial operation of the train and the forging of the future railway all depend on him. With such a talent, Emperor Chu will never allow him to make any mistakes.
"Xiao Guizi, later send an order to Ye Gucheng, the leader of the Tianmen Sect, and Ximen Chuixue, to have them return to the Beast Imperial City immediately and take charge of the Academy of Sciences, without giving any chance to the saboteurs."
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue went there in person, and there shouldn't be any mistakes. Emperor Chu decided to return to the Beast Imperial City in person after making arrangements for the war in the Xuantian Empire.
Witnessing the trial operation of the train is only one of the reasons. In addition, with the beginning of a new situation, the other third-level empires have no value in existing. It is just about to enter winter. I don’t know how to fight on a large scale. Emperor Chu is ready to take this opportunity to kill the other third-level empires. All were merged into Chu State.
There is another very important reason, that is, he wants to discuss with Zhou Yu to build a giant ship that can cross the Tianhe River.
It was imperative to return to the Beast Imperial City, so Emperor Chu wanted to see what news Yue Fei and Ran Min would send again before he could decide when to leave.
This is the thought.
Opening it, Yue Fei sent a military report in front of him.
"The Great Qin Empire stationed its troops in Xuanming City, and Huanyun captured Xuanlei City. Now the Xuantian Empire no longer exists, but the three kingdoms have formed a tripartite situation."
"Emperor Xuantian Shen Haolin and Queen Xin Peiyun were captured alive and secretly imprisoned in Xuantian City, awaiting execution?"
Emperor Chu gently put down the battle report. The Qin Empire's troops approaching Xuanming City was definitely not a good sign. As for the Huanyun Empire, which only occupied one city and was located in a remote corner, it was not a problem.
"Xiao Guizi, please order all the generals in the city to enter the palace at dusk. By the way, let Marquis Wuwei come with you!" (To be continued)
