My name is Chu Yi. As the Minister of Personnel of An Country, I harbored a singular ambition: to rebel and seize the Great An Dynasty. To succeed in this usurpation, I formed factions, purged diss...
"No, there are still too many of these rebels. It's simply unrealistic to easily capture Shengjing City after they occupy it!"
In Qi State, Chen Luo, who had failed to make any progress for a whole month, looked worried and looked towards Shengjing with a vicious look.
As both sides sent out their troops, the battle between his forces and the so-called "court" of Concubine Ci had entered a tense state.
Not long ago, in order to gain the support of the people of the world with legitimate reasons, Chen Luo ascended the throne as the crown prince at the suggestion of his subordinates, named the reign Tianhe, and was called Emperor Tianhe.
Because of his ascension to the throne, many forces within Qi chose to support the prince's faction for a while, which indeed gave Chen Luo a lot of convenience.
But after all, there was only so much good luck. Ever since Chen Luo proclaimed himself emperor, the court in Shengjing City and Concubine Ci had increased their efforts to "suppress bandits."
Now the imperial forces under Concubine Ci's party are in the majority, and they have the advantage of defending the city, so Chen Luo can't gain much advantage at all.
The army from An State in the south that entered Qi State did not attack Shengjing during this period. Instead, it acted recklessly in the territory south of Qi State, besieging and attacking reinforcements, causing Qi State's army to suffer a lot of losses.
Chen Luo felt very aggrieved. If An Jun had the idea of attacking that vicious woman, he wouldn't have felt so bad.
It’s a pity that An Guo is not getting too close to the capital, but choosing to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.
"Master Demon Envoy, don't we have any other options?"
After a long time, Chen Luo spoke to Fu Xi.
"Your Majesty, Shengjing City is a fortress of iron. It's impossible to break it in a day or two. But in the current situation, Your Majesty holds the throne, and there should be many generals in the court willing to follow Your Majesty. You might give it a try as a cohesive force."
"Besides, I think since Anguo won't take the initiative to attack, Your Majesty might as well just make a concerted effort and concentrate all your forces to attack Shengjing. As long as Shengjing is captured, all problems of capturing the palace witch alive will be solved."
Fu Xi was very straightforward and directly expressed his thoughts.
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment after hearing this, feeling that this method was a fight to the death.
"This... Lord Demon Envoy, isn't it too radical to mobilize all the troops to attack Shengjing City?"
"Radical?" Fu Xi sounded dissatisfied. "This demon is asking, Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne as the Crown Prince, do you have the support of the people? Are you sure you can persuade the wise generals who have been bewitched by this enchanting woman to rebel?"
The tone revealed a sense of provocation and incitement from beginning to end, and Chen Luo, who had been cautious, suddenly jumped up and down.
"What are you saying, Demon Envoy? I am the only legitimate successor to the throne of Qi. How could I not be popular with the people? If there were loyal ministers and capable generals in the court, I would surely command their support with just one call!"
Chen Luo's counterattack attitude was very strong, and even after saying this, his expression became confident.
"Then Your Majesty, if Your Majesty gathers the remaining tribes in the south, how many days do you think it will take to capture Shengjing City?" Fu Xi asked again.
"This..." After all, Chen Luo was not an expert in fighting, but since Fu Xi asked, he couldn't say he didn't know.
After roughly estimating the current strength of Shengjing City, he rekindled his confidence.
"Now I also lead an army of nearly 200,000. If we attack this evil woman's false court without reservation, I believe we will take it down within half a month!"
"That's right!"
Fu Xi laughed, and then reminded him further:
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you understand the An army's reason for not moving. They simply hope that Your Majesty and the witch will fight to the death, so that they can seize the opportunity to attack the capital and occupy Qi's land. If Your Majesty really delays, it will obviously be what the An army wants."
These words made Chen Luo worried again.
After all, he was not like Concubine Ci and others who would do anything to gain power. Under normal circumstances, the Qi State he took over should have been prosperous and powerful, instead of the chaotic state it is today.
With the Anguo army eyeing him covetously from outside, he must find a way to resolve the internal friction as soon as possible and then solve the Anguo problem.
After careful consideration, Chen Luo made up his mind and decided to follow the instructions of the Demon Envoy.
After all, the Demon Envoy has contributed at least half to his current strength.
With the help of the Demon Envoy, I will surely be able to capture Shengjing as soon as possible and take back the country from this mother and son!
"good!"
"Then I will follow the Lord Demon Envoy's instructions and gather all my forces. While the Anguo army is watching the situation from the other side, I will capture Shengjing in one fell swoop and resolve the Anguo issue as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Chen Luo quickly left. As the emperor, he needed to explain his decision to his civil and military officials.
"Well, things are looking pretty good so far."
Looking at Chen Luo's leaving back, Fu Xi concealed the dark and empty crack in the palm of his hand and revealed a very relieved smile.
"It seems that my strength has almost fully improved. I will be able to leave this alien continent soon."
"... Before I leave, perhaps the things there can help me reach the ultimate level of the Earth Demon!"
Fu Xi looked towards the southwest.
Before she finished speaking, her figure had already disappeared from the spot.
…
Western Xia.
"Master Imperial Master, what do you mean by that... what is the relationship between Princess Tianfu and the Empress of the late Emperor Anguo?"
Emperor Qingyuan frowned and tried to understand what the imperial teacher said.
Obviously, he seemed unable to believe this fact.
"According to my master, the previous emperor of Anguo was once enfeoffed in Anxi City, west of Anguo. He met a woman and they quickly became acquainted. Eventually, they had a daughter, who is now the Empress of Anguo."
The closure of the Xia Kingdom was a phenomenon that only occurred in this dynasty. However, the situation was completely different more than 20 years ago. Therefore, it is not impossible that Princess Tianfu knew the late Emperor Anguo.
He thought again of the uproar over the incident involving Princess Tianfu. Since returning to the capital that year, he almost severed his father-son relationship with his uncle, the King of Ying.
But the King of England was not heartless after all. It was just that after that incident, Princess Tianfu has never married.
There are all kinds of signs that clearly show that this is possible.
After learning the truth, Emperor Qingyuan felt as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
"So... doesn't that mean Princess Tianfu is the empress of the late Emperor Anguo, and the mother of the empress? Perhaps... No... This won't work..."
Emperor Qingyuan's expression flashed with a bit of surprise and he shook his head.
"No matter what, I can't let my Qingqing leave me like this. I still have to use this opportunity to contact An Guo and find the fairy beast back."
Emperor Qingyuan was planning in his mind when suddenly, a clear female voice came from outside the palace.
"This demon has a plan that can heal the princess, retrieve the immortal beast, and help your majesty conquer the world in these troubled times!"
