Inside the Hall of Filial Piety.
On the messy desk, a pile of memorials was stacked, and underneath the desk, they were scattered all over the floor.
Jin Fengluan's face was ashen, and the look in her eyes was colder than the winter sun. Her thin lips were bitten until they turned white.
Meanwhile, in the audience, Jin Jiande knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the cold floor, with a pen holder beside him.
It was just smashed down by the Golden Wind Phoenix.
Jin Fengluan coldly watched him kneel on the ground. In this scene, she inexplicably felt that the figures of Jin Jiande and Huang Long overlapped.
She rubbed her temples, and a cold voice escaped her lips:
"You told me earlier that you would have five days to kill Qin Ze."
"And the result? Five days have already passed, and not only did your men fail to kill Qin Ze, they can't even be found anywhere?"
"vanished into thin air? Betrayed you? Or died somewhere?"
"You know nothing."
Jin Jiande's face was flushed, and his body was stiff as he knelt on the ground. Although his throat moved, he ultimately could not utter a word.
"Let's not even talk about not killing Qin Ze; I didn't have high hopes for him anyway."
"But what is the Thousand Machine Battalion for? They're there for surveillance!!!"
"Qin Ze led an army of 300,000 men out of Beiliang without anyone noticing, fled to Xijing, and even killed tens of thousands of Tu Yuan soldiers?!"
At this point, Jin Fengluan became even angrier. She strode over to Jin Jiande and kicked him in the back.
"Tell me, what is your Thousand Machine Battalion doing?!"
"They're all useless good-for-nothings who're just waiting to die! Are they just going to stand by and watch Qin Ze lead his troops out of Beiliang?"
"There wasn't a single piece of intelligence; I didn't even know he had finished attacking me!"
"What are you doing? What are you Thousand Machine Battalion scouting for? You're getting paid a lot, what have you been doing?"
"Nothing was done!!!"
Jin Jiande lowered his head and replied in a deep voice:
"It is my incompetence that I failed to discover that Qin Ze led his troops to Xijing."
"But... he inexplicably led an army of 300,000 to Beiliang. This is really strange. Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to have gone to Xijing. I really..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jin Fengluan kicked her again and shouted angrily:
"If we didn't find it, we didn't find it. Why make so many excuses!"
"Qin Ze is currently wreaking havoc on the border, and I don't need to think to know how much the people of Xijing support him now!"
"This time, I have truly lost all face!!"
Jin Fengluan's face was ashen as she paced back and forth beside Jin Jiande, feeling both angry and agitated.
Jin Jiande lowered his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, there's... there's nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that Qin Ze would go to Xijing and kill so many people?"
"Besides...didn't you say before that it would be perfect for him to go? Qin Ze's trip is exactly what you wanted..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Fengluan's ashen face changed color and began to flush red.
After all, she had indeed said that before.
But she didn't expect Qin Ze to actually go! And he actually managed to repel the Tu Yuan army.
Looking back now, I realize that what I said was really...
Now that Jin Jiande brought up the matter again, Jin Fengluan, feeling both ashamed and angry, kicked him again and rebuked him:
"You'll never get anything done if you keep bringing up things that are best left unsaid!"
Feeling wronged, Jin Jiande explained in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have accomplished all the tasks you have entrusted to me over the years, except for the matter concerning Qin Ze. It's mainly because Qin Ze always manages to do unexpected things, which I... cannot understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Fengluan flew into a rage.
"How dare you talk back!"
"Besides this, have you taken care of everything else?"
"I told you a long time ago to send the Thousand Machine Battalion to monitor Huang Long's sons, but how come Huang Tianwei has escaped?!"
Jin Jian's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he hurriedly said:
“The entire Huang family has been killed as His Majesty ordered. However, Huang Tianwei is extremely cunning. The assassins sent to kill him were killed before they could even make a move. This young man must have been aware of this beforehand.”
"However, Your Majesty need not worry. The Huang family's military power has now been taken back. Even if Huang Tianwei escapes, he will not amount to anything."
Upon hearing this, Jin Fengluan's anger intensified.
"Can't it work? Back then, Qin Ze only had eight hundred personal guards when he went to Beiliang, but now he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command!"
"Now that Huang Tianwei has escaped again, who knows what he will do next? If we don't kill them all, they will cause trouble sooner or later!"
Jin Jian hurriedly replied, "No, Your Majesty, Huang Tianwei has no troops under his command, only a small number of personal guards. We are currently in the East China Sea searching for his whereabouts, and we will definitely find him!"
Jin Fengluan's eyes were like ice as she coldly said, "You'd better find him in the East Sea. If he manages to escape from there... Hmph!"
"Qin Ze alone is already enough of a headache for me, and now there's Huang Tianwei too..."
At this point, Jin Fengluan rubbed her head, walked to the dragon throne, and muttered to herself:
"What an eventful year! It seems we should ask the Imperial Advisor to perform a blessing ritual..."
"I need to have his fortune told..."
——
On the shores of the East China Sea.
maritime.
A wooden boat was sailing on the vast ocean, and at the bow, a tall, handsome man was looking towards the land, his deep eyes filled with coldness.
It is none other than Huang Tianwei, the son of Huanglong!
Not long after sending the letter home, Huang Tianwei instructed his personal guards to be on guard, and as he expected, the court did indeed show signs of taking action against him.
