Murong Jiu paused, "So that means the little prince might not be dead?"
The image of that person in red with an unparalleled face immediately came to mind.
The royal surname of the Kingdom of Luo is Luo.
He possessed such elegance, was well-versed in the art of governing a country, understood the ways of being a ruler, and was also adept at strategy.
Who could disagree that such a person was of royal lineage?
Especially what he saw tonight.
He has powerful subordinates, cares deeply about the orphans of the Luo Kingdom's royal family, and he himself comes from the Luo Kingdom.
An idea quietly took shape, and finally, it was concluded with a definite period.
It is something that people covet so much that they would even risk their lives to get close to and touch him.
Aside from that person, he didn't think there was anyone more suitable than him.
But when he thought about what he had experienced back then, his anger surged.
'Bang'
The desk was overturned.
The man in black kneeling below clutched his chest, groaning, his heart filled with turmoil.
The master has become stronger again.
Even though it wasn't directed at him, the suffocating feeling that gradually came over me made me dare not be careless at all.
Holding my breath, afraid of being implicated.
Murong Jiu wreaked havoc in the palace before slowly calming down.
He sat angrily on the dragon throne, his eyes bloodshot.
"Bury all those things from back then that didn't die."
His sinister tone was like that of a demon from hell.
The guards trembled and broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
He tensed up and quickly replied, "Yes."
Murong Jiu walked to the window and looked at the main hall where Luo Miao was, his eyes darkening.
Ah-Miao, I don't care if you are a prince of Luo Kingdom or anyone else, from the moment I met you, you have been mine.
I will protect your peace and happiness for the rest of my life.
The only one who can make you carefree is the ruler of the world.
Once she made a decision, Murong Jiu was not one to procrastinate.
Everything was arranged in just one week.
The army also quietly began its advance.
Upon returning to China, Chu Liuyun immediately began his defensive strategy.
We have considered striking first, after all, morale is high right now.
Unfortunately, the food supplies simply couldn't keep up.
Instead of relying on the mentality of "a desperate army will surely win" or "starving and reckless," it's better to conserve energy and protect the grain.
It's all food, and we'll use all our strength to ensure a more secure outcome.
"Your Majesty, we have been defending the grain-producing areas bordering Fengtian Kingdom for a month now, but we still haven't seen any enemy troops. If this continues, I'm afraid the morale of our soldiers will be worn down."
In the morning court session, the Right Chancellor of Chuliu Kingdom spoke with concern.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The soldiers have just gone through a major battle and need to rest and recuperate, but they are on high alert every day and cannot relax for a moment. This cannot continue."
The general also stepped forward and spoke.
Chu Liuyun, sitting in a high position, had a somewhat solemn expression.
He definitely didn't mishear, but why haven't they arrived yet?
Are we really going to take advantage of them during the autumn harvest when they're off guard?
"Any news from the spies sent to Fengtian?"
Immediately, one person stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, no."
Chu Liuyun's brows were furrowed deeply. He had left behind some of the people he had brought with him when he returned.
Later, when they found they couldn't get in touch with them, they sent some more people.
It's been more than half a month, and not a single piece of news has come back.
"What about the investigation into the man in red?"
"Your Majesty, no."
"What about the military?"
"Your Majesty, there is still no such thing."
"Then, what about the spies on the periphery who are watching for any movements of Feng Tian?"
Undeterred, Chu Liuyun continued to ask, "There can't possibly be none at all."
Chu Liuyun: It feels like I've been raising a bunch of fake spies ┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
