The response to the word "在" initially came in individual replies, then became a series of replies, and finally a unanimous response.

There's no need to count them all; a rough estimate shows that over ten thousand people answered Lian Zhongyi!

The key point is that these people were randomly mixed in with different positions of the Jin army. When they saw that they had deliberately exposed themselves, the Jin soldiers who were close to them panicked and did not know what to do.

"Dragon Spear Guards, you have worked hard all these years. Fight your way out and reunite with your families!"

Lian Zhongyi waved his feather fan, making an offensive gesture.

"promise!!!"

The Dragon Spear Guards, who were mixed in with the Jin army, immediately put on red headscarves and began to kill the Jin soldiers around them. At the same time, the five thousand Dragon Spear Guards below the city launched an attack on the Jin army.

Not only that, but after the Dragon Spear Guards, a large number of Han soldiers rushed out of the city.

Lian Zhongyi was taking advantage of the Jin army's confusion to bring out the garrison to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army!

At this point, not only Du Yucheng, but even Zhao Yan was afraid of Lian Zhongyi.

Zhao Yan believed that these Dragon Spear Guards mixed in with the Jin army were descendants of the Dragon Spear Guards, because if they were the older generation of Dragon Spear Guards, they would definitely not have been able to withstand Wen Hu's scrutiny, but the younger descendants were different, as they could hide or change their family background.

Zhao Yan did not believe that these people had rebelled based solely on Lian Zhongyi's words; he believed they must have been arranged by Lian Zhongyi long ago and were spies hidden within the Jin army.

Zhao Yan glanced furtively at Lian Zhongyi and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He only knew the name Lian Zhongyi, the master strategist, but he was still young then. By the time he grew up, Lian Zhongyi had already retired, so he never personally experienced how formidable Lian Zhongyi was.

The Dragon Spear Guard was established by Lian Zhongyi. If the first generation of the Dragon Spear Guard was a special force targeting the Night Dan cavalry, it was Zhao Huan's most elite trump card.

This new generation of Dragon Spear Guards is the most powerful secret spy organization!

Zhao Yan suddenly realized that Yiwen Society was very powerful, but only in terms of intelligence. In terms of espionage, his elder brother was far inferior to Mr. Lian!

What a cunning old fox!

Yang Taozhi looked at Zhao Yan, who was still staring blankly with his head up, and said, "Stop looking. His Majesty has dared to offend anyone since he was a child, but he dares not offend Mr. Lian."

As she spoke, Yang Taozhi took a step forward, preparing to make her move.

"Acheng has already penetrated deep into enemy territory. Let's step up our efforts and clear the obstacles for him!"

...

Big Moon Empire.

In the magnificent palace, which emphasizes splendor over majesty, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Western Regions, whom the people of Dayue worship most, is singing and dancing with a veiled beauty in his arms, holding a wine pot in one hand and embracing her with the other.

The ministers swayed around His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Western Regions, each with a joyful expression on their face.

For the Great Yue Empire, today is a day that must be celebrated.

Today is the fortieth birthday of the supreme emperor of the Western Regions.

When Ximen Fusu first met Zhao Cheng, he was only in his early thirties. Back then, he was dashing and generous, treating everyone with kindness and possessing a natural charisma. Now, he has transformed from a prince into an emperor, and this charisma still exists in his every gesture. However, his now deep-set eyes and stubble on his face cannot conceal the fact that he is now middle-aged.

He was once a leader candidate whom the people of the Great Yue Kingdom highly respected and placed their hopes on.

Now, he is a god in the hearts of the people of the Great Moon Empire.

The music grew louder and louder, and the rhythm of everyone's dancing became faster and faster. Just as the atmosphere was about to reach an even higher level, a personal guard came to Ximen Fusu to report.

"Your Majesty, someone outside the palace requests an audience."

The minister closest to Ximen Fusu said, "Today is His Majesty's birthday; we must not spoil His Majesty's mood!"

"It's alright."

Ximen Fusu waved the wine jug in his hand and asked, "Who goes there?"

"He claimed to be from Zhao Hanyi's news agency, and his name was Yuan Fei."

Ximen Fusu was stunned for a moment, then said, "President Yuan has arrived!"

As he spoke, Ximen Fusu immediately released his arm from the beautiful woman, casually handed the wine pot to the person beside him, and said, "Please invite him to my study."

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"

Just as Ximen Fusu was about to walk out of the hall, an old man with a long beard called out to him, saying, "Zhao Han sent someone of such high rank here, surely for the war in the east. Before the empire makes a decision, Your Majesty should not easily receive him."

Ximen Fusu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and the music and dancing in the hall immediately ceased. The ministers, musicians, and attendants all left, leaving only a dozen or so people in the hall.

The one who stopped Ximen Fusu just now was the Grand Elder of Dayue, also surnamed Ximen. While his position in the court wasn't high, he held the highest status within the royal family. Ximen Fusu would consult him on any truly important state affairs. It wasn't always about seeking his advice; sometimes it was purely out of respect.

Therefore, Ximen Fusu did not insist on his own way, but quickly cleared the area, giving the elder ample face.

Standing behind the Grand Elder were all the current high-ranking officials of the Great Yue Empire, while Ximen Fusu's side was closest to him, with a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes.

This person was one of the martial arts practitioners taken under the wing of Ximen Fusu, and his name was Yelü Yan.

He was already a top expert when he followed Ximen Fusu, and now he is the one with the highest cultivation level among that group of martial arts practitioners, and one of only two grandmasters in the Great Yue Empire.

Beside Ximen Fusu were two other people. One of them was leaning on a staff and looked even older than the Grand Elder, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

Alaska.

Aragas, formerly the Grand Preceptor of the Abire Empire and now the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yue Empire, made a significant contribution to Ximen Fusu's victory over Abire and Terentu.

In Aragas's words, his submission to Ximen Fusu was not treason, but rather a sacrifice of the Abili royal family for the unification of the Western Regions. He believed that the reason the Western Regions had always been weaker than the East was because there were too many scattered states in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions need a great nation to unify them, and even more so, a great emperor to achieve this.

He chose Dayue and Ximen Fusu.

There was another person standing behind Aragas, as tall as a bear, with yellow hair on his face and the exposed parts of his body. He was the only other Grandmaster in the Great Moon Empire.

The former god of war, Abire, Bedor.

Ximen Fusu glanced at his confidants, then smiled and looked at the Grand Elder, saying, "What are your thoughts on the war in the east, Grand Elder?"

The Grand Elder seemed to have already made his decision, and decisively said, "It is not advisable for Da Yue to participate in the war in the east."

Ximen Fusu asked, "Why?"

The Grand Elder said, "His Majesty's strategy upon ascending the throne was to gradually recover the territory of the Western Regions. Last month, the Imperial Preceptor and General Beethoven made arrangements for the western expedition. Turning eastward at this time would be contrary to the national policy."

"Let them handle the things in the east themselves; we must not let them disrupt our own rhythm."
