"Minmin, are you still thinking about Zhou Yi?!" Chakhan Timur walked into the big tent in a hurry, and saw Zhao Min's emaciated face, sitting there feeling sorry for himself, and his heart ached.

"Ah!?Daddy, when did you arrive?" Zhao Min heard his father's voice, his heart was hot, and he immediately thought that there were still tears on his face, and hurriedly wiped away the tears with his hands.

Chakhan Timur's expression darkened and he sighed.

In recent months, the situation in the empire has simply changed rapidly.

Since the first battle of the Expedition to the Holy Fire Cult, Zhou Yi, the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, has disappeared inexplicably, and the situation in the empire seems to be out of control.

The day before marrying the former crown prince of the Kunya Elf Empire, Feather Dance Amber Light, the northern frontier of the empire received a warning that the orcs and half-orcs had invaded on a large scale, and the frontier was in an emergency. The concerts for urgent help were sent to Luojing City like snowflakes.

Emperor Zhao Mu was young and vigorous, and he was not dissuaded by His Royal Highness King Wucheng, so he insisted on conquering in person. The ministers couldn't stop it at all, and perhaps there was also a reason why the Holy Court was unwilling to stop it.

Anyway, Zhao Mu took 100,000 iron cavalry of the Praetorian Guard in Luojing City, and left the queen who was about to marry and headed for the northern frontier.

Generally speaking, the emperor is either allowed to obtain supreme martial arts in the case of victory, or when the survival of the empire is at stake, the emperor makes a last stand, and if he succeeds, the country will survive, and if he loses, he will die for the country.

Although the orcs invaded the south, although the momentum was huge, it was far from the point where the emperor had to conquer it himself. Therefore, if Zhao Mu wins this battle, it is easy to say. The point is, instead of winning, he lost, and he lost so badly that he put himself in it.

Yes, the Qinling Empire has been in unprecedented danger due to the death of two emperors in one year, the state is in turmoil, and the empire has fallen into unprecedented danger.

When Zhao Min and his entourage returned to Luojing City, they received such bad news.

No matter what, Zhou Yi couldn't think of it. His younger brother Zhao Mu actually died like this, and he was worthless.

Zhao Mu listened to him very much and admired him very much. But this does not mean that Zhao Mu does not have his own ideas and ambitions.

The royal expedition was because of the people in the Holy Courtyard, but if it weren't for his own heart, he would have wanted to do it. With those saints in the Holy Courtyard alone, they couldn't put too much pressure on him, who held the seal of the Human Emperor.

He wants to prove himself, he wants to prove to Zhou Yi that he can become the emperor of men! He wants to use the martial arts of repelling the orcs to prove that he is capable of taking on the great responsibility of the emperor of men.

However, the news of Zhou Yi's disappearance came too late. It wasn't until Zhao Mu died that the two news were transmitted back to Luojing City together.

Maybe if he had known that Zhou Yi was missing, he wouldn't have been so willful.

It's too late to say these things now, because the situation in the Qinling Empire has already deteriorated and cannot be worsened. The new emperor, who had just ascended to the throne, died like this, and there were no important ministers in the court who presided over the overall situation like Zhou Yi. The new emperor died, King Wucheng disappeared, and the Academy of Literature thought that the opportunity had come, and it has been jumping up and down for a while.

If it weren't for Zhao Min's timely return, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, coupled with the attraction of the Tibetan Scripture Transmission Martial Pavilion to the martial arts monks, and the support of a group of masters of the Holy Fire Sect. Perhaps, the shape of Luojing City will be even worse.

The topic turned back, and it was also because of the critical situation that Zhao Min hurriedly recalled his father and brother.

"I just arrived, after you summoned me, your brother and I were busy gathering the Eight Banners Legion and the Guards Legion, and we were delayed for a lot of time in the Eight Half-Elf Divisions. On the way back, we were on a starry night, just worried that you had something wrong here! Zhou Yi, are you really missing?"

"Brother Zhou asked us to withdraw first that day and stay alone to intercept the Black Dragon Clan master. As a result, there was no news at all. Perhaps, only by finding those black dragons can we know his whereabouts. Speaking of this, Zhao Min was a little sad, and he did not regret the thought of accompanying Zhou Yi in his heart.

"Alas, I just hope that the Taji people have their own natural appearance, and turn evil into good fortune!" Seeing the look of his beloved daughter, how could Chakhan Timur not know in his heart that she had fallen in love with Zhou Yi.

"Dad, Brother Zhou is naturally fine. How we got here, I know in my heart. We and Brother Zhou are grasshoppers on a rope, if Brother Zhou has three longs and two shorts, how can that Cunzi let us live so long. ”

As soon as she mentioned that storage zài, even the battle-hardened Chakhan Timur couldn't help but feel a tightening in her heart.

"Don't worry, Dad, maybe something happened that made Brother Zhou unable to contact us for a while. When the matter passed, he naturally wanted to come back. We can't help with this, and we can't help with it.

It's just that the current situation in the empire is very bad. There are orcs and half-orcs outside, and they may invade Luojing City at any time. Inside, there are some scheming guys in the Holy Courtyard, trying to seize power. Although I have the Human Emperor Sword, I am not afraid of these Holy Dao monks. But after all, he has no military power in his hands, and he can't deal with the external crisis. That's why I will pass the book in the starry night and let you lead the army north.

By the way, the letter sent by Yishang and Sister Xuan'er to the Eighth Department of the Half-Elves, I don't know what their plans are?"

"Hey, what else can I do, except for the second division of Yunyue who made it clear that they would support King Wucheng as many young people as possible, the other six departments were a little hesitant. If it weren't for the fact that King Yu Wei of Wucheng was still there, I am afraid that the Eight Banners Legion would not have gone north so lightly. Speaking of this, Chahan was still a little indignant.

"It's nothing, it's just human nature! The half-elf eight have been bullied all year round, in the face of such a situation, it is normal to have some selfishness, and Daddy doesn't need to be angry!" Zhao Min could see it and think it through.

"Everything else is easy to solve, these hundreds of thousands of troops are coming, what about the food?" Now that Min Min has already made a decision, Chahan will not say more, but throw out the biggest problem at present.

yes, it's not a few hundred, it's hundreds of thousands. The amount of food consumed every day is an astronomical amount, not to mention that the Eight Banners Legion also has to pay military salaries.

Zhou Yi is not in the court, and the current urine of the Academy of Literature, I'm afraid it won't agree to pay military funds!

Zhao Min shook his head, his expression was stern, and he said, "This can't be messed around with those clowns who jump off the beams in the court." The Eight Banners Legion and the Iron Cavalry of the Guards both went north in response to the southern invasion of orcs and half-orcs. If they still want to hinder such an important matter, then we will simply lead the army south. Presumably His Royal Highness Hamai will also be happy that we are going south!?"

She was right, the wedding ceremony of Feather Dance Amber Light and Zhao Mu could not be held. Although the imperial family has long been hired, after all, it is difficult to say that there is no marriage. Yu Wu's current identity in Luojing City is also quite embarrassing, and even the Kunya Elf Clan has a tendency to be unstable within the empire.

If Zhao Min and others, who represented Zhou Yi, the king of Wucheng of Zhenguo, led their army south, abandoned the northern part of the empire and Luojing City, and stubbornly defended the southern line along the river. That would mean the collapse of the Qinling Empire's imperial court, and the people in the Holy Courtyard alone would not be able to defeat the orc army no matter what. And the Kunya elves who are currently settled in the south can get the support of King Wucheng's family, and the two sides may not be able to stand the Jiangfang and intercept the orcs in the north of the river.

For the elves, Zhou Yi was far more important than the Qinling royal family. If it weren't for Zhao Mu's lifetime at that time, the two parties couldn't marry, I'm afraid that the person Yu Wu would marry would also be Zhou Yi, not Emperor Zhao Mu.

"That's right, but, Minmin, you must not underestimate the court fight. In the line of King Wucheng, we don't need to say it, with 100,000 guards and iron horses and hundreds of thousands of members of the Holy Fire Sect. Princess Yun and Princess Moon also have the support of nearly 300,000 Eight Banner Legions behind them, as well as eight half-elf clansmen. In addition, in addition to the Qinling Sword Sect, so many martial arts monks stood on the side of King Wucheng. There is also the support of the Bunmu Academy and the Rite Academy. Such strength can be regarded as a behemoth within the empire. If those people have other thoughts in their hearts and want to use this opportunity to weaken us, they may not do stupid things like relatives and enemies!"

Chahan's words were Lao Cheng's judgment of holding the country, and Zhao Min couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

However, Zhao Min lived up to Zhou Yi's evaluation of her. If she is a man, she must be a famous minister in the prosperous times and a hero in the troubled times. But in an instant, she said murderously: "If they don't open their eyes, don't blame me for using the Xuanyuan Sword to kill!

At this time, Chahan nodded with satisfaction. The reason why he said this was because he was worried that his daughter would be indecisive and would not be ruthless.

"Report! His Royal Highness Yu Wu, the Crown Prince of the Kunya Empire, asks to see the eldest princess!" At this moment, Zhou Yi's personal guards outside reported loudly.

Because of the collapse of the wedding, the merger of the two empires has naturally been postponed to this day, and the identity of the light of Feather Dance Amber is still the crown prince of the Kunya Empire. And because of the request for peace talks with Zhou Yi, she did not inherit the throne of the Kunya Empire, so the outside world still called her His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Please!" Zhao Min collected his thoughts and gave Chahan a look, who nodded and turned to go out.

......

Accompanied by two twin maids, Yu Wu wore a military uniform and walked into the main hall of Wucheng Palace.

"Yu Wu, I've seen the princess!" Out of respect for Zhou Yi, after Yu Wu entered the door, he first saluted Zhao Min.

knew that she was here to listen to Zhou Yi's news, so Zhao Min also pretended not to know that she had received her salute, and then stepped forward to help her up.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, please mourn your affairs! Presumably, after King Wucheng returns to the imperial capital, he will give you a satisfactory arrangement!"

"Oh, Her Royal Highness knows the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Wucheng?!" Yu Wu was stunned when she heard this, and then asked directly.

"Hehe, Your Highness, King Wucheng was worried about the situation on the mainland because of the sudden appearance of the Black Dragon Clan, so he personally went to the Western Continent to inquire about the news. Presumably, as soon as the matter is over, it will turn around. Zhao Min opened his mouth and said nonsense, "If it weren't for the news that His Majesty died in the army too late, King Wucheng would not have left this mess and went to the Western Continent in person!"

This is also reasonable, even if Yu Wu still has doubts in her heart, it is not easy to say it directly. After all, if it is too much and Zhou Yi comes back suddenly, things will not be easy to handle.

"Then before King Wucheng leaves, what instructions do you have?" her mind raced, putting aside her doubts, and turning her words to the point.

At this time, her identity was really embarrassing, and the long-term delay in the relocation of the country also made her feel uneasy.
