"But what about him? how can I bear the refusal of the royal in-laws who are in love with your sister?" said the Emperor angrily.

"Is this just because of your suspicion?" said the War King in a low voice.

"Don't you know that when the war between the three major empires and my Yunyang Empire was at its fiercest, you Shen Zhan and Mu Chengxiu mastered how many troops my Yunyang Empire had?"

"One million and four million, a full one hundred and forty thousand! The total strength of my Yunyang Empire is less than two million, and there are many local armies, auxiliary defense armies, and miscellaneous armies that cannot be easily mobilized. ”

"Do you know what this number represents? If you and Mu Chengxiu have a disagreement, I, the emperor of the Yunyang Empire, will only be able to be killed!"

The emperor looked at the war king, "You say, if you are the emperor, will you feel at ease?"

"So, sixteen years ago, during that strange sneak attack of the Chiji Empire, the enemy army seemed to know all my troop deployments, and you urgently summoned me back to Cloud Mirror City before the battle, just because you were not at ease?" the War King asked.

"Yes, at that time, Mu Chengxiu had not yet married your sister, and I still imagined that there was still room for everything, so this time I used this matter first to let you hand over the military power. After that, I only gave half of my troops to Mu Chengxiu from you, so that Mu Chengxiu and the three empires could consume each other, and I also had the qualifications to secure the throne. The Emperor said.

"Do you know that after the big defeat after that sneak attack, my Yunyang Empire suffered 300,000 soldiers killed and wounded, can you know that at the height of the battle between the three major empires and my Yunyang Empire, you collected half of the military power, leaving only Mu Chengxiu with a total of 700,000 soldiers, you let him resist the three empires with 700,000 soldiers, have you ever thought that in case of defeat, you can still keep your throne?

"700,000 soldiers is already my limit! Do you know that at that time, I could only use 800,000 soldiers. The emperor replied, "At that time, I was ready to go on a personal expedition at any time, even if Mu Chengxiu couldn't resist it, there were still 800,000 of my soldiers. ”

"But this Mu Chengxiu does have some ability, with 700,000 soldiers, he actually resisted no less than three million soldiers of the three empires, although at the beginning I let the Yunyang Empire lose most of the mountains and rivers, but it is this kind of move that makes the three empires divide the soldiers into many places, although the overall is to fight more with less, but locally it can always allow Mu Chengxiu to find a situation of fighting more and fighting less. ”

"And the heavy detachment guard that he personally trained, although there are only 3,000 people, can always bravely cut off the large forces of the three empires and let them mess with themselves, and back then, the five hundred iron horsemen of the heavy detachment guard appeared in the capital of the Chiji Empire unexpectedly, and almost directly captured the monarch of the Chiji Empire, which is really surprising. ”

"However, it is also because of this kind of strange tricks that the commander of the Chiji Empire in my Yunyang Empire panicked, and even the commanders of the Thousand Moon Empire and the Burning Empire are also worried about the rear. He Mu Chengxiu also found an opportunity to really launch a counterattack. ”

"This heavy detachment is really a terrifying and terrifying elite. The Emperor said.

"So, when this great war, which has lasted for almost ten years, continues to come to an end, you also start to be afraid of Mu Chengxiu?" asked the War King.

"Yes, but this man is very smart, when the battle is about to end, he led the three thousand heavy guards straight to Cloud Mirror City, and the three thousand heavy guards were stationed outside Cloud Mirror City, and he came to see me alone, returned the tiger talisman, and asked me to send another general to lead the victorious army to return to the court. ”

"Even now that I think about it, I can't find fault with it. His Majesty the Emperor replied.

"Then five years ago, why did you ......," the War King began.

After years of war, at the age of twenty-four, he resigned all his rewards and vowed to go home to recuperate. The emperor said coldly, "This move is gratifying, but you also know back then, how many generals in the court have openly retained, and I, the emperor, have not yet spoken, these people knelt down in public to retain this Mu Chengxiu, and after I promised him to return to his hometown to recuperate, three generals also resigned and went home." ”

"At that time, although I was angry in my heart, after all, he returned all the military powers, and there was no longer an official position, so I let him go. ”

"However, five years ago, the guardian of the royal family, He Xinglan's health deteriorated, and he thought that he would die not long ago, and the person he reported to me who was most likely to break through to the Martial Saint Realm actually had this Mu Chengxiu!"

"Hmph, you should understand the role of the Martial Saint Realm monks in an empire, right? This Yunyang Empire is one of the fourteen empires, in addition to the bloody battles, the Martial Saint Realm monks must also be in charge, and He Xinglan actually told me that the one who is most likely to break through to the Martial Saint Realm is Mu Chengxiu, who was only thirty-four years old five years ago. ”

"How can I keep him? With Mu Chengxiu's prestige back then, coupled with the fact that he has been married to your Shen Zhan's sister for ten years, if he breaks through the Martial Saint Realm again, will anyone in this Yunyang Empire respect me?" the emperor said.

"Understood. The War King spoke, "I think that five years ago, none of us found any problematic collaborator letters, and it was this He Xinglan himself who did it, right?"

"That's right, the Martial Saint Realm cultivator personally did it, how could you people from the Martial Realm find the slightest. The Emperor replied.

"Then Mu Chengxiu and my sister, as well as the twelve people who left the Wei Yan Department, by the way, and the one hundred people who left the Wei Yan Department at the beginning, and He Xinglan also did it?"

"That's right, apart from He Xinglan, who else can severely damage Mu Chengxiu, who is already in the Martial Venerable Realm Nine Heavens?" the emperor said.

"Hard-hitting, not dead?" the Warlord immediately asked.

"Hmph, don't report luck, although he wasn't killed on the spot, He Xinglan will definitely not survive for three days. The emperor replied, "Besides, if Mu Chengxiu is really alive, can he not show up after these five years?"

"What about He Xinglan?" the War King roared angrily.

"After doing that five years ago, I passed away in just half a year. The Emperor replied.

"So, now there is no Martial Saint Realm martial cultivator in the Yunyang Empire?" said the War King.

"Do you think that the Fourteen Empires now have living Martial Saint Realm martial cultivators? This is the biggest secret and reliance of each empire, without He Xinglan, but the Martial Saint Realm Martial Arts still exists, and within a few years, there will be a new royal guardian. The Emperor replied.

"Is this attack on the guards aimed at me?" the Warlord asked.

"Of course, there were too many things back then, and it was okay that you didn't know about them, but I can't always expect you not to know. You have always been a hidden danger to me, and now that the Yunyang Empire is peaceful, there is no need for hidden dangers like you. ”

"How can you be sure I'll intervene?" said the War King.

"Since Mu Chengxiu's death, I have been planning this matter, the attack on the re-leaving guard is just the beginning, it will always lead you to intervene, and once you intervene, I am sure to get rid of this hidden danger of you. The Emperor replied.
