Shen Yuhu and several generals were drinking tea. Ji Xun and Emperor Qi Heng came in, and everyone stood up in a hurry.
"I'm hungry, let's eat." Emperor Qi Heng said directly, and A Qin and Jiang Yuyu hurriedly made arrangements.
And here, Shen Yuyu just made a bet with Niu Zhi, and wanted to know the result.
Shen Yuyu then turned her attention to her husband and raised her eyebrows at him, hoping to get a winning number from him.
However, Ji Xun came directly over and held Shen Yuyu tightly in his arms, burying his face in her neck and shoulder and saying nothing for a long time.
He broke the dead game and saved his son. No one knew how excited he was at this moment.
If he can break this situation today, he will definitely break the theory of witch boy tomorrow, just wait and see.
"Axun, it's okay if you lose. How can you always win after all the ups and downs in life?" Shen Yuyu thought Ji Xun had worked so hard but lost, and was feeling uncomfortable because he had not succeeded in making a comeback, so she patted his shoulder to comfort him.
At this time, Emperor Qi Heng answered meaningfully from the side.
"That brat won, and I lost.'
When Shen Yuyu heard this, she was very happy. She pushed her husband's handsome face away, put one hand on his waist and stretched out his other hand towards Niu Zhi.
"Haha, I win, General Niu, bring me ten taels of silver."
Niu Zhi was convinced of the defeat and returned the hundred taels and the ingot of silver to Shen Yuyu, and then everyone had a meal together.
After eating, it was already dark, so Ji Xun listened to the reports from several lieutenants in his tent.
Niu Zhidao said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the battlefield has been cleared. According to statistics, Zhu Xiangyu took away 380,000 soldiers."
The Emperor and the Night King both nodded. The 380,000 soldiers, if the river can break through the ice, would be enough to defend Jinzhou.
Lin Yi then reported.
"We lost more than five thousand soldiers in the battle, and the bodies and pension money of those who were originally from the south were sent back to their hometowns.
"My native place is too far in the north, so I have to be buried there. And the pension cannot be delivered right now. We have to wait until the war is over."
"Yes." Ji Xun nodded, "Remember to erect a monument and engrave the names of all the soldiers who died in the battle."
"Yes, my subordinates know." Lin Yi accepted the order.
"Do you want to erect monuments for the soldiers who died under Zhu Xiangyu? My subordinates have already sent people to bury them together." Niu Zhi asked.
"The same monument will be erected." Ji Xun nodded firmly, "They are also soldiers of our Dasheng Kingdom, although they lost their lives innocently."
"Okay, my subordinates understand." Niu Zhi nodded heavily, thankful that he surrendered the Night King in the first place, otherwise the Night King would have been asking his subordinates to erect a monument for him and his soldiers!
He Mang also reported, "The distribution of food to the victims is not that fast. I am afraid that many victims who are far away have not arrived yet. I guess we have to set up a point here."
"Okay, then set up a point here." Ji Xun said, looking at Emperor Qi Heng and asking for instructions, "Father, I think we can allocate the camp in the next few days and advance towards Jinzhou while providing disaster relief."
"Well, it's up to you to decide. You know more about things on the battlefield than I do." Emperor Qi Heng naturally had no objections. He was happy and at ease.
Now I am really looking forward to the fact that Princess Ye has already given birth to a grandson, so that he can play with her grandson happily.
Three days later, the Night King's army marched north, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.
Zhu Xiangyu burned, killed and looted in the front, while the Night King distributed food and disaster relief to save the people from behind, winning the hearts and minds of the people.
Capital City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wei Xuanyuan was sitting in the study drinking tea and reviewing memorials.
During this time, he was reviewing memorials at the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day, and went to the palace to play with Xia Luoluo at night. He lived a very happy life and became fat.
Although he looked like a middle-aged man after changing his appearance, the exposed part of his neck was tender and tight, especially the hands that were clearly those of a young man.
The memorial is all about the itinerary for the Winter Solstice Festival, which is quite extravagant and wasteful.
"These dog officials, what they say about offering sacrifices to heaven, are just layers of exploitation, and everyone wants to get a fortune from it."
"The national affairs are still pending. The traitor of the Night King has not been eliminated. Where can we offer sacrifices? Humph.'
As he spoke, Wei Xuanyuan slapped the memorial in his hand on the table, picked up his pen and began to write the "Imperial Decree" to cancel the Yiying Sacrifice to Heaven event.
After writing this, I covered the jade seal and laughed.
"When I get rid of all the people and sit on the throne, then the whole country will celebrate, and then I will sacrifice to heaven, hahahaha!"
Just as he was smiling proudly, the door curtain was opened, and Zhou Qian hurried in, holding a robe in his left hand and a letter in his right hand. "Master, this is a letter from General Zhu."
"Bring it quickly." Wei Xuanyuan stood up with an eager look on his face.
His great cause, his empire, and his throne are all contained in this letter. I just hope it’s good news!
However, after he opened the letter, he suddenly took three steps back and fell into an armchair.
"Failed? Actually defeated? This, this~~This is impossible! Impossible!"
Wei Xuanyuan had a shocked expression on his face. He picked up the letter and read it several times before leaning weakly on the back of his chair.
When Zhou Qian took the letter from Xin Shi, he actually already knew about Zhu Xiangyu's defeat and retreat to Jinzhou, so he was not too surprised at this moment.
He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "The Night King is indeed cunning and actually launched a surprise attack, otherwise General Zhu would not have been defeated."
Wei Xuanyuan looked languid there. During this period, he was dreaming every day of Zhu Xiangyu's return with a great victory, and of ascending the throne as emperor. What he never expected was such a bolt from the blue!
Zhou Qian was afraid that Wei Xuanyuan would vent his anger on him, so he hurriedly comforted him.
"Don't worry, Master. General Zhu said in the letter that the Jinzhou River can break the ice, so that only one bridge can pass."
"So what if there are more Night King soldiers? There is no use for them at all. Unless they have wings, how can they attack Jinzhou? How can they attack the capital?'
"That being the case, what can the Night King do to you if your master ascends the throne? At worst, I can give him the southwest."
"Send him away? Impossible." Wei Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes with a fierce look, "When I come to the throne, I will definitely recruit troops and personally lead the troops to eradicate this traitor! Recover the southwest."
His face actually looked a little bit better, and there was even a hint of pride on his face.
"If the Night King cannot attack the capital, will he bite me? If so, wouldn't this capital and the throne still belong to me?"
Zhou Qian saw that Wei Xuanyuan seemed to have come to life after listening to his words, and he hurriedly climbed up the pole.
"My master is right. You will recruit troops and expand the army after you ascend the throne."
"Whenever you are strong enough, you can regain the lost ground and eradicate this traitor, the Night King."
As he said this, he was murmuring in his heart, fearing that you might become a traitor as soon as you ascend the throne~~ The Night King has become a legitimate person.
However, he did not dare to say this to others, for fear that Wei Xuanyuan would kill him with one sword.
Wei Xuanyuan seemed to have read through his thoughts and chuckled.
"What? Are you worried that I will become a traitor? It's okay. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as you have a sword, soldiers and strength in your hand, who dares to call you a traitor?"
"Send a letter to Zhu Xiangyu and ask him to guard Jinzhou well." He said to Wei Xuanyuan as he stood up, "I will go to the palace and have a look. I will choose a day to think of a way. I will ascend the throne as emperor."
