1403 Iron Empress 1 (1/2)
When the horse carriages of Jun Wu Xie and her companions, the soldiers guarding the city's gates asked their routine questions. But when they saw that the person sitting inside the carriage was Jun Wu Xie with her looks altered, they were immediately stunned. When they recovered their senses, they quickly fell to their knees in obeisance to pay their respects and even when the carriages had passed to enter the city, the shock to their hearts still did not fade away.
[Their His Majesty has returned!]
[His Majesty had returned!]
Jun Wu Xie's return, immediately caused a stir to rise in a wave throughout the entire Fire Country's Imperial Capital. All of them could not believe that their ruler had finally returned!
Although Jun Wu Xie had not stayed in the Fire Country for long, but every mission she embarked on had completely shocked the citizens of the Fire Country right to their souls. All of them in the entire country knew that they had a powerful and young ruler.
Inside the Fire Country's Imperial Palace, the candles in the Imperial Study flickered and the brows of the girl studying the dossiers furrowed up. Piled up upon the table before her, were countless scrolls that requested for military reinforcements that struck fear and trepidation into one's heart.
The girl had a sweet and dainty countenance although she couldn't really be termed a outstanding ravishing beauty, Under the soft and warm glow from the firelight, the girl's side profile of her face was seen to lack a certain gentleness in her beauty, and tinged with a certain level of sharpness.
”The Yang Country has already sent us twelve letters in succession asking for help. Your Lady Majesty, look….. should we…..” The palace maid standing on the side said with a worried expression as she picked up the scroll that had dropped.
The girl sitting at the table lifted her head slightly, her eyes steady and calm.
”The Yang Country possesses advantageous terrain, which is easy to defend and hard to invade into. From the very first moment they were attacked by the Poison Men, they had already sent us a letter requesting for help. With the might of the Yang Country, it isn't that they do not possess the power to fight against the Poison Men army, but they just want to reduce their own losses and we do not need to bother with them.” Qu Ling Yue replied with a frown.
”Then what about the Ling Country?” The little palace maid asked as she looked at Qu Ling Yue who had become the Fire Country's Empress, her eyes filled with reverence.
”I have already sent out troops to go there.” Qu Ling Yue muttered and buried her head to look at the scroll unfurled upon the table.
