Jin Feng looked at the letter sent by Murong Jin, as well as the people from the Dark Guard Pavilion.

"If we are confident, we can kill him."

"With determination, there is no room for slaughter."

Beside him was the deputy general. "Lord Jinfeng, everything has been arranged."

In the middle of the night, a raging fire suddenly broke out on the opposite side, and the cavalry, who were already prepared, charged forward at that moment.

"Kill!!! Capture the enemy general alive!!!"

"It has to be me who takes it!!! I've been wanting to go back and visit the general for ages!!! This time, the Wumang Kingdom must be destroyed, if not killed!!!"

At the main camp of the Wumang Kingdom army, a young man dressed in red landed on the top of a tent that had been erected.

"How could I, the young master, be absent from the killing?"

Jin Feng looked at the young man in the sky, his lips twitched, and then he drew a soft sword from his waist. "Don't hold us back!!"

The young man in red scoffed and caught the soft sword.

Amidst the clash of swords and the swirl of blades, countless lives were lost, just as a torrential downpour descended, a scene of bloodshed and carnage.

"Damn it, I want to go home!"

"I miss my parents."

"I miss my wife."

“I…I miss General Murong.”

...

The main camp was in ruins, and the remaining soldiers were forced into the mountains. Jin Feng had intended to get everyone out, but seeing the suddenly appearing young man in red, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Letting them live would only bring trouble; it's better to eliminate them completely."

"Pour in the oil and set it on fire."

Jin Feng's eyebrows twitched, and then he heard him say, "Next, we should take down that small country. The general didn't completely destroy Wu Mang Kingdom because he thought the people were innocent, but quite a few people joined the army."

A bad habit is a bad habit.

An ingrate who can't reason with people and might even turn around and bite back.

If you show him kindness, he will think you are being fake.

"Since our master is not here, we should judge everything we do based on the circumstances at the time. Don't forget what our master said back then."

"When a general is in the field, he may disobey the emperor's orders."

Jin Feng suddenly laughed, "Then let's slaughter the entire country."

Let them bear the consequences of their sins.

The suffering our master has endured over the years has been enough.

...

"Your Majesty, when are you going back?"

Seeing how interested he was in the training camp, even to the point of being reluctant to leave, Li Mingzhong couldn't help but wonder, "If you don't go back soon, the palace will be in complete chaos."

Emperor Junlan glanced at him, "Aren't they all bullying me?"

Li Mingzhong: "No, I didn't. Those old ministers are just taking advantage of their age."

"Moreover, the Regent has cleared the way for you, so those people don't dare to cause trouble now."

"Really? But the Regent asked me to come here to experience it. I find it quite comfortable. If it were so, I would even consider giving the throne to Murong Jin."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhong immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, these words cannot be spoken to outsiders, as they will cause misunderstandings."

Emperor Junlan chuckled softly, "Prime Minister, you've watched me grow up, and I have something to say to you."

"If you say so, I will do my utmost to assist you."

"That's fine then. I want Murong Jin to be my empress. You can decide what to do."

Li Mingzhong was completely bewildered. He recognized the characters, but after hearing them, he felt like he didn't recognize them at all.

Wait, who do you want to be your queen?

Murong Jin?

Regent?

"Your Majesty, are you joking? What kind of man becomes Empress..."

"I'm joking? Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that I never joke."

Seeing the knowing look on his face, Li Mingzhong understood that His Majesty was serious.

"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it..."

Emperor Lan: "Speak."

"What were you doing at the Regent's Palace last time?"

"Of course I went to Murong Jin's residence because I wanted to get into the Regent's bed. Otherwise, why would I go to the Prince's residence?"

Li Mingzhong: "..." The case is solved.

At first, he thought the regent was plotting against His Majesty, but he never expected that His Majesty had ulterior motives towards the regent.

No, why has Your Majesty suddenly fallen for men?

Weren't you frantically searching for the girl you liked before? How did you suddenly change your mind?

"But Your Majesty, this is neither reasonable nor appropriate."

"What, you all disagreed when I wanted to find a wife? Weren't you all urging me to expand my harem back then?"

Li Mingzhong: "..."

Can the practice of taking a concubine and taking a regent be confused?

That's the Regent!

Although he knew the young Murong Jin before, and was an elder at that, the boy's sharp eyes and murderous aura after his return made even this senior feel uneasy...

Not to mention, back then, when Murong Jin was just a young general and barely twenty, he dared to kill court officials in front of the late emperor in the Golden Palace...

He acknowledged that Di Junlan was capable, but compared to Murong Jin, Murong Jin had far more experience and background than Di Junlan. Even in handling matters, Murong Jin was decisive and resolute, making others feel as if they had no hope.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid you will get hurt in the future..."

Di Junlan looked at him, "Prime Minister, Murong Jin, have you ever suspected him?"

Never.

Emperor Lan: "That's fine then. Even without me, Da Cheng will still be able to laugh and enjoy spring breezes. But without Murong Jin, it will lose its backbone. You should know this better than I do."

Looking at Di Junlan's smiling face, Li Mingzhong felt a pang of helplessness and heartache.
