Chapter 668: Chapter 399: Honesty_3

Recalling the inner conflict and bitterness during this time, her eyes grew moist. She pushed Li Nuo onto the massive Dragon Chair, feeling aggrieved, "You don’t know how much I envy them..."

Li Nuo held her, gently comforting.

"Alright, alright, they’ve accepted you now."

"Ah, what’s too dark to see?"

"Careless, but that’s not my fault..."

"Emperor, it’s daylight now!"

"This is the Imperial Study Room!"

...

The two palace maids at the door slowly closed the Imperial Study Room’s large doors, faithfully guarding outside.

At the same time.

Wei Country.

Inside the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

On both sides of a magnificent long table sat over a dozen figures.

Emperor Wei sat at the head position, paused for a moment, and asked, "Gentlemen, who among you is willing to go to Yue Country to quell the rebellion?"

The Imperial Family of Yue Country is a puppet supported by Wei, and the recent events in Yue have already been known by the Wei Country Court.

Following Emperor Wei’s words, the hall remained silent.

Ximen Gu and Ximen Du are dead, Huang Yuan has vanished, these three shared their rank yet met such fate, under such circumstances, who would dare take the risk in Yue Country?

Emperor Wei said solemnly: "Yue Country is extremely important to Dawei. It can join Liang Country to attack Xia Country. Once it falls into Xia Country’s hands, it won’t be favorable for future major affairs..."

At a certain point on the long table, an elder spoke, "Xia Country’s strength is far inferior to Dawei, what waves could a small Yue Country stir up? After destroying Daxia, reclaiming a small Yue Country would be easy."

"Brother Xu speaks reasonably."

"We wish to know, when will the troops be dispatched to Xia Country?"

"If delayed further, it will only give Xia more preparation time..."

Faced with these Semi-Saint’s questions, Emperor Wei didn’t know how to respond. At this time, a eunuch walked in from outside, respectfully handed him a brocade pouch.

Emperor Wei opened the pouch, took out a piece of paper, after reading it, put it away, looked up at the crowd, and solemnly said: "Gentlemen, the time has come..."

...

Daxia.

Liang State.

Though situated at the border of Daxia, because the neighboring Liang Country has always been a vassal state of Daxia, Liang State is more bustling and prosperous than many inland states. The caravans between the two countries must stop at Liang State, driving its prosperity.

However, more than a year ago, Liang State gradually ceased to prosper.

Daxia and Liang Country fell out, Wei sent heavy troops to the border under the pretext of protecting Liang Country, Daxia naturally couldn’t sit idly by, continuously sending forces to Liang State.

Nowadays, not a single caravan passes through here, and fearing the impending war, many of Liang State’s commoners have embarked on a journey of escape.

Those remaining in Liang State are impoverished civilians, with nowhere to go, only able to stay here, living every day filled with dread.

Night has deepened.

No moon tonight, the starlight is dim, reaching out one cannot see their fingers.

On the countless times reinforced city wall of Liang State, a soldier stood guard, looked toward the distant mountains, placed the thousand-mile mirror into his chest.

In tonight’s weather, the thousand-mile mirror serves no purpose.

To guard against a Wei invasion, someone must stand guard here for twelve two-hours each day, but after more than a year, nothing has happened.

He habitually lay on the ground, pressed his ear tightly against the city wall, his hearing is naturally extraordinary, in the silent night, any noise outside is heard very clearly.

Soon, he lifted his head, after a moment of daze, he pressed his ear back again.

Contrary to usual, today the sounds transmitting through the ground seem a bit different.

He stood up, climbed onto the watchtower on the city wall, brought the thousand-mile mirror to his eyes, looked toward the dark mountains.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the night as bright as day.

Though it was just an instant, he saw indeed.

On the mountain path, countless figures were slowly approaching Liang State city.

He shivered, showing a fearful expression, without hesitation, he beat the large drum on the watchtower, simultaneously using all his strength to shout: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
