In this world, there were very few people who could ignore the Imperial Palace. Xu Bai was one of them.
He carried Ye Zi and left directly. Moreover, he swaggered away without anyone stopping him.
While he was enjoying himself, Eunuch Wei was rushing to the Emperor’s royal study.
Eunuch Wei had been summoned by the Emperor of Chu, and he was very fast. Without any delay, he arrived in front of the royal study and gently knocked on the door.
“Enter.”
The Chu Emperor’s voice rang out from the door. Eunuch Wei tidied his clothes and smoothed out the creases on his body before pushing the door open and stepping into the room.
The moment he stepped in, he was stunned.
Usually, very few people would come to the Chu Emperor’s royal study, but at this time, it was packed with people, and they were all high officials of the capital.
Eunuch Wei glanced around and found that everyone with their names was present.
Prime Minister Wen stood at the front and took the lead. His hands were hidden in his sleeves. Although his expression could not be seen, his hands would move from time to time. It was obvious that he was in turmoil.
There were a total of nine ninth-grade Saints in the world, and all of them were Transcendents.
Prime Minister Wen was one of the most outstanding scholars in Great Chu. He had already reached the ninth-grade Transcendent Realm and was only one step away from becoming a Saint.
Although it was slightly inferior to Prime Minister Liu Yue of the Great Yue State, a ninth-grade Transcendent was still considered a top combat strength in the world.
Eunuch Wei pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
“Find a place to stand. I’ll read this last piece of information first.”The Chu Emperor didn’t know that Eunuch Wei had arrived. After saying this, he lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand.
There weren’t many chairs in the royal study to begin with, and who would dare to sit in front of the Emperor now?
Therefore, everyone was standing, and Eunuch Wei was no exception.
He found a spot slightly further back and stood there.
Actually, with Eunuch Wei’s strength, there was no harm in standing in front. However, he was a man who followed the rules. He was only a eunuch and could not stand in front.
The surrounding officials also understood Eunuch Wei’s character, but they did not let their guard down. They slightly turned their bodies to prevent their backs from facing Eunuch Wei.
Then, the royal study fell into silence. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
The Chu Emperor merely lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand. His brows were tightly locked together, as if he was thinking about something.
The surrounding officials did not dare to breathe loudly and waited quietly.
Half an incense’s time was neither too long nor too short, but in such a depressing environment, the ministers felt that it was a long time.
The Chu Emperor finally put down the letter in his hand and raised his head. Leaning back on his chair, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
“Do…Do…Do…”
The knocking sound was rhythmic. Every time he knocked, he would pause for a moment.
After a while, the Chu Emperor finally stopped his actions. He raised his head to look at the officials around him and slowly said four words.
“Da Yue…It’s a mess.”
It was just a simple four words, but it was like a muffled thunder in everyone’s ears. It suddenly exploded and their heads were ringing.
The people present looked at each other with excitement on their faces.
They weren’t the officials who came later, but a part of the people who had followed the Chu Emperor to conquer the world.
It could be said that they were all capable of both literature and martial arts.
All these people had a dream in their lives, which was to conquer the Great Yue State and the Barbarian Race.
Now that a place was in chaos, did that mean that there was a chance?
In fact, in terms of overall strength, although Great Chu was the latest to establish a country, it was the strongest.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the world was divided into three parts, they would have made their move long ago.
Now that this three-legged situation had been broken, it was time for them to make their move.
“Your Majesty, is the news reliable?”
As the Prime Minister of the Great Chu State, Prime Minister Wen was the first to step forward. He bowed to the Chu Emperor and asked what everyone was thinking.
“Yes.” The Chu Emperor said indifferently.
After a moment, he said something else.
“Call or not call, give me a word.”
Although they were discussing a major matter, it was simple and clear.
“Your Majesty, since you already have a plan in your heart, then do as Your Majesty wishes.”Prime Minister Wen said.
“Fight!”
When he said this word, everyone present nodded in unison. No one objected.
Prime Minister Wen waited for a moment and continued,””The Great Yue is in chaos and can’t even take care of themselves. We will attack the Barbarian Race first. If the Great Yue wants to help, we will counterattack the Great Yue. If the Great Yue doesn’t help, we will swallow the Barbarian Race and then the Great Yue.”
“But for now, there is still a big problem. If the Great Yue State helps the Barbarian Race, how can we counterattack the Great Yue State?”
Once a war broke out, it would not be easy to move the army, so this was a big deal.
The Chu Emperor smiled and said,” The Great Yue State will not help. Now, the Dark Tower and Shadow Tower have all been destroyed. The entire martial world of the Great Yue State is in chaos. If they dare to send troops, civil strife will arise.”
Although he said that, the Chu Emperor didn’t say clearly how he would cause a complete internal strife in the Great Yue State.
However, there was definitely a way. Perhaps there was a plan to add fuel to the fire.
“The only thing that Zhen is thinking about now is that if this war were to break out, it would definitely be a waste of manpower and money.””That’s why I wanted to ask for your opinion. But looking at the current situation, you all support fighting.””
