571 569 Sky Fox Emperor Race (1/2)

The Imperial Capital...

Emperor Yuanchen's brows furrowed tightly, sizing up the atlas in front of him. He had used four reign titles, the latst one was Yuanchen.

His name was Yinyu, but the common people couldn't directly call out his name, and could only call him using his reign title.

That picture was of the entire Cloud World, the Five Continents and the Twelve Islands.

In the east, that Cloud Continent had totally turned red.

\”Longxiang Mountain City has also been broken?\”

Although he was asking a question, no one in the hall replied. Be it the Internal Affairs Junior Supervisor Gaoruo or Zhongxuan, they really didn't know the exact situation in Donglin Cloud Continent.

Yinyu didn't mind much, only he had seen this message talisman from the east, and had just subconsciously blurted it out.

Sighing, Yinyu's eyes squinted, filled with emotions. \”The moment Longxiang Mountian City falls, Donglin is totally in the hands of that kid. This kid is just coming of age and has taken over in less than four years. If I had such a kid, I would die without regrets. The fate of Great Shang would remain prosperous…\”

His tone was of indescribable envy, however moments later his tone changed, filled with a cold intent.

\”Has that Gantian Mountain Zong Shou received the marriage letter?\”

Gaoruo bowed slightly, \”It has already been sent over, and Gantian Mountain seems to have no intentions to reject.\”

\”Hah! He probably couldn't wish for more!\” Yinyu scoffed in disdain, filled with a mocking intent. \”This Zong Shou actually targeted my favored general. To destroy my good general, how despicable…\” Even if he knew that most of those rumors in Donglin were fake, there was nothing he could do about it.

Even if Kong Yao returned, she probably wouldn't be able to gain a footing in the army, so it was better that she didn't return at all.

\”Your Majesty has thousands of great generals, who cares about this Kong Yao?\”

The person who spoke was the Grand Commandant, sitting on a chair and shaking his head. \”This Kong Yao was often really stable and safe when she went to war, wasting resources and labor. Although she is a good general, she isn't outstanding. Anyways, she is a woman and doesn't have the decisiveness and steel of men. Moreover, she is too beautiful!

\”I think that since the Gantian Mountain king is lustful that is a good thing. At least this kid has a weakness, looks will be able to harm him, reducing his heroic spirit. Although the kid is good now, but as for the future, there is still a lot of time for things to change…\”

Yinyu's brow furrowed. Donglin was far to the east of the Cloud Continent, separated by ten thousand miles of cloud ocean. Unless Zong Shou tried to invade the Central Continent, no matter what happened to that kid, it had nothing to do with Great Shang.

However, ever since he sent over that marriage letter, placing his seal on it, he occasionally felt terrified, like he had made a huge mistake.

Today it was worse. After half a day, he was still unable to calm himself down.

Even thinking carefully about it, he was still unable to find out the reason why.

Zhongxuan nodded slightly, \”Your Majesty doesn't need to bother so much! This woman's fate is really ordinary and she is destined to die early. Recently her brow brought a bad sign, her life will go downhill. Her fate was also filled with platinum energy, so her life will be filled with killing. There is also a thread connecting her with Great Shang. With her here, she would definitely drag down our Great Shang, causing our country's strength to weaken. She is definitely not a good choice for being an official. However, we still need to calm down and settle the Kong family…\”

Yinyu's brows rose up, and only then did he calm down.

\”Kong family? When I ascended to the throne I owed them a favor. I promised that when I was the emperor I would let one of them hold military power. When looking at their people, only Kong Yao was suitable. Instead they grumbled that I didn't use one of their direct disciples and instead chose a girl. Bah, they really don't know their position! Forget it! Since they want it, then I'll give it to them...\”

Smiling coldly as he said those words, Yinyu casually asked once more, \”Did Gantian Mountain agree to send troops?\”

While he spoke, Yinyu was looking at the area between Donglin and the Central Continent on the map. Near the Central Continent, there were many black dots.

This time Gaoruo was more respectful when he answered, \”Gantian Mountain hadn't replied, but they didn't give a clear rejection. I heard that the Court of Colonial Affairs is already thinking of a way to invite Wujue Mountain and Haoxuan Sect to persuade them. I heard that those three sects have a really good relationship with Zong Shou. This matter involves Gantian Mountain's survival and ours, he wouldn't be so irrational! Gantian Mountain is probably dragging things out to obtain more benefits from our Great Shang.\”

When he heard that last sentence, Yinyu laughed, really pleased and satisfied. He had expected the situation was as such.

His expression turned dark and sunken. He hated the sects for having no ruler nor father. The Haoxuan Sect was slightly better, but if they faced a life or death matter, or Great Shang was leaning too hard on them, they would be like the other sects and fight for their own survival.

However, things in this world were just like that. He hated it, but sometimes he had no choice but to use them.

Just as he thought of this point, his brow furrowed once more. That terrified feeling didn't subside after Zhongxuan's words, instead becoming more and more serious.

As for Zhongxuan, he suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with disbelief and shock.
