He set out on another expedition. Junxu chose a place to set up camp. He hadn’t slept at night when he heard someone shouting outside the tent
’I want to see the prince!‘
Junxu sighed
’Come in.‘
Tang He stood in the tent, his face full of greed. Junxu raised an eyebrow
’Are you here to accuse me?’
‘I wouldn’t dare.‘
’Don’t give me that. Get to the point. I’ve been on horseback all day and I’m exhausted.‘
’Why don’t you become emperor?‘
’Tang He, all my sisters are in the army. I’m the emperor in the capital? Will we lose the country through internal strife? Tongluo is about to attack our capital.‘
’…
“Forget it. It doesn’t matter whether I become emperor or not. It’s not necessarily a good thing to be emperor. If I don’t become emperor, I can focus all my energy on protecting you.’
‘I can’t calm down, I always feel suffocated.‘
’Can’t calm down? Are you quoting Wuyanghou?‘
’Heh heh.‘
’Humph, all talk and no action. Where is she?‘
Wuyanghou Chang Su lifted the tent curtain.
’Now it’s Wuyangwang.‘
’Congratulations.‘
Chang Su sat down next to Junxu.
’Congratulations are in order.‘
Tang He scratched his head.
’Prince, is that all there is to it?’
Junxu nodded
‘This is good for all of us. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are some things that you don’t have to force. If you force it, it’s not good.’
‘I don’t quite understand.’
‘Then go study it carefully. Once you understand it, you’ll be promoted to marshal.’
Tang He smiled, withdrew, and Chang Su poured a cup of tea
‘Come, let’s drink a toast to celebrate the old emperor, Bin Tian.’
Junxu was speechless, and touched her
“Are you having fun?’
‘Of course. I just realised now that I used to hope every day and night that she would die.‘
Junxu smiled and asked her
’Do you think highly of me?‘
Instead of answering, Junxu asked
’Do you think highly of me?‘
The two of them smiled at each other, and Changsu coughed
’Should I deal with those two people?‘
’Haha, those two people have been dead for a long time. If you want, I’ll have someone dig them up in a couple of days.’
Chang Su frowned, slammed her cup down on the table, and couldn’t help laughing out loud. She actually took it seriously. Perhaps she just needed an excuse, a good excuse to justify being controlled by someone else, and betray the supreme emperor.
Because of her words, she set herself free.
Chang Su rested her wrist against her forehead and laughed softly, then looked up, her pretty eyes sparkling.
‘I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.‘
’Don’t mention it. I’ve done nothing for you. If you insist on remembering my kindness, we’re even. We’re both free.”
That night, they were very friendly.
When it got late and quiet, Junxu went out alone and released a Kongming lantern. The orange lantern flew far away in the vast night sky. Junxu tilted her head and said silently, ’Xiao Ran, I’m off to war again.’
The Qin army was already on its last legs, and Jun Xu’s soldiers were notorious for their ability to transfer frustration. After their high expectations were dashed, that frustration was doubled and redoubled in a perverted enthusiasm and radiated onto the Tong Jiajun, the child soldier who had become emperor by their military god.
Some say that war also has a soul, and morale is a kind of soul. With this strength, the Yue army defending the country once again proved the fact that evil cannot prevail over good.
The Qin army retreated in disarray, thousands of miles away.
Junxu did not want to return to the capital early, so she began to engage the Qin army in skirmishes along the border, like a bored feline, playing with her prey.
Shen Nuo knew exactly what she was thinking in the capital. Several times, he sat alone in the hall, taking up his writing brush to write imperial edicts, only to abandon them. After taking a sip of cold tea, Shen Nuo slammed the cup down on the dragon table with a loud thud
The eunuchs immediately fell to their knees, trembling, not daring to lift their heads
Shen Nuo looked up, her pair of beautiful eyes curving into a just-right arc, her eyelashes like small fans, furry and dyed a warm candle glow
‘The tea has cooled’
The head eunuch, Wu Duan, fell to the ground and swallowed
“Your Majesty, please calm down’
‘Calm down? I’m not angry, I just don’t want useless trash in the palace.‘
The young eunuch who had served the tea had already fainted. Shen Nuo waved his hand.
Wudan crawled over, dripping with cold sweat, and shouted hoarsely
’Get him out of here, now!”
The young eunuch’s eyes were wide with despair, black and white, staring at the beautiful face of the prince high above him with the glazed, dead-fish stare of a corpse. His mouth hung open, dribbling saliva.
Shen Nuo glanced at him, his face full of disgust.
The heart of the fifth stage of the five stages of cultivation felt a chill. When Shen Nuo was still a prince, he knew very clearly that if Shen Nuo punished someone, no one else could intercede for them. If no one spoke up, that person might still have a chance, but if someone interceded, that person was dead for sure.
However, this little eunuch was scared out of his wits.
Shen Nuo had a strange obsession with cleanliness and didn’t like anyone to touch him. Even if he saw this, it meant that the little eunuch had no hope of survival.
