The entire Great Xia was in an uproar upon hearing this news.

In the streets and alleys, from high-ranking officials to ordinary peddlers, everyone was so excited that they could hardly contain themselves; some were roaring, and some were crying.

However, these were tears of joy.

From that moment on, the Great Xia Dynasty truly stood up and avenged its past blood feud.

"He did it, he really did it."

Upon seeing the news during a break from filming, Ji Ziyue couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Zi Yue, this man is so charming, just like the sun in the sky, shining brightly."

The assistant next to him also had tears in her eyes.

"Yes, he is the pride of our Great Xia, he is our god, he once saved my life..."

Ji Ziyue clenched her jade-like hands tightly.

...

The same thing is happening again in the capital, in Qianzhou, and in other places.

Ye Qiu became a hero in the hearts of all the people of Great Xia, even a god!

Inside the imperial palace in the capital city.

A middle-aged man hurriedly entered the imperial palace.

This man came from the southern borderlands, with the imposing gait of a dragon and the powerful stride of a tiger.

He is none other than the God of War, Zhou Ziling.

Not long after, Zhou Ziling met Xia Zu.

Zhou Ziling's first reaction was not to pay homage, but to speak directly: "Ancestor Xia, Ye Qiu's actions may benefit our Great Xia in the short term, but in the long term, they are extremely detrimental to us. Once Ye Qiu disappears or something happens to him, our Great Xia will instantly become the target of attacks from all the dynasties in the world."

"What do you mean?" Xia Zu smiled at Zhou Ziling: "What does the God of War want me to do?"

"I wouldn't dare." Zhou Ziling seemed to only then remember to bow, and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I'm just speaking the truth. If Ye Qiu disappears from Great Xia, or something happens to him, can Great Xia withstand the attacks of the world's dynasties? I think it's difficult."

“I don’t think it’s difficult,” Xia Zu said. “What Ye Qiu has done is entirely beneficial. If you don’t believe me, look at how easily you were able to leave the Southern Territory and return to the capital. Isn’t it because it was easy? Isn’t it because the Li Huo Dynasty has retreated? I just spoke with the Emperor of the Li Huo Dynasty on the phone. He expressed his apologies to me and wants to establish diplomatic relations with us for a century.”

"but..."

"Alright, God of War, now that the world is at peace because of Ye Qiu, don't bring up the unfounded accusations you just mentioned." Xia Zu said solemnly, "Ye Qiu has made great contributions, suppressing two dynasties in succession and making the Mili Kingdom and the Dongdao Dynasty bow down. Such achievements are unprecedented. If you still say he is wrong, then I have reason to suspect that you, God of War, have ulterior motives. Of course, I believe that God of War would not have ulterior motives."

"I am loyal to you and to the Great Xia, and I have no other intentions. Since that is the case, I will not say anything more. I just hope that nothing will really happen."

Zhou Ziling said.

"Well, let's talk about it later, but I trust Ye Qiu."

Xia Zu laughed and said, "Zhou Zhanshen, you've just returned. Why don't you go back and see your family first?"

"I'll go now."

Zhou Ziling bowed and left the Xia Emperor's Palace.

Zhou Ziling's face was very ugly after leaving the imperial palace.

He's in the capital now, he has no home left, Sheng Fanghua has been kidnapped by Ye Qiu.

But Zhou Ziling wouldn't tell Xia Zu about this.

"Sheng Fanghua, you dare to betray me. No matter what, I will take your life."

Zhou Ziling's eyes darkened.

After a moment, Zhou Ziling spoke in a deep voice: "Jianfeng, come out."

"Your subordinate is here."

A dark figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Ziling, kneeling on one knee with a respectful expression.

Zhou Ziling said sternly, "Go and keep watch near the Dragon Palace. Once Sheng Fanghua comes out, kill her without hesitation."

"yes."

Jianfeng stood up.

But at that moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out: "No need for all that trouble, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure approached from afar.

The person who arrived was none other than Sheng Fanghua.

Sheng Fanghua looked absolutely stunning in a red dress, and her meticulously applied makeup made her even more charming.

Zhou Ziling was taken aback: "How did you end up here?"

"I know you've come to the capital." Sheng Fanghua said calmly, "I can also guess why you've come. It's not for me, but to see Xia Zu in person and impeach Ye Qiu, right? As for killing me, that was just something you did on the side, wasn't it?"

"Ha, you're very shrewd, as shrewd as ever. Do you know why I don't like you? Why I've never touched you? It's because you're too shrewd, too calculating, always scheming. I find women like that very annoying."

Zhou Ziling said coldly.

"Is that so?" Sheng Fanghua sneered, "Then I can tell you that you've misjudged me. It doesn't matter if you don't care about me, there are others who do, and there are others who will cherish me."

Ye Qiu complimented my figure and my skills in bed. He even said I was the most perfect woman. Hearing this made me very happy. I would have been willing to die for him.

Also, I gave Ye Qiu the Four Seas Map that you treasured, and I also gave him the "Source Techniques" that my family heirlooms. I think he deserves it. What do you think?

"You're stupid!" Zhou Ziling roared in fury. "The Four Seas Map and the Origin Technique are both supreme treasures. How could you give them to Ye Qiu so easily? Utterly foolish!"

After his outburst of rage, Zhou Ziling quickly calmed down: "But it's alright. What's mine will come back sooner or later. I was thinking of you, but now it seems you can't die. I have to take back everything you gave away, one by one. If you cooperate well, perhaps you won't have to die."

"What a joke! Giving these to Ye Qiu would be far better than keeping them for you. Do you even deserve to have them?" Sheng Fanghua said coldly.
