The young eunuch hesitated, but seeing Lin Xuanye's murderous aura, he had no choice but to swallow his words.
"No, I need to speak with the Empress Dowager."
Lin Xuanye got up and left quickly.
Not long after, Lin Xuanye found Imperial Tutor Yin and told her about the matter, his tone indignant.
What are you trying to say?
Imperial Tutor Yin remained expressionless.
Lin Xuanye said in a deep voice, "We should have killed Ye Qiu back then and let him leave. It's like letting a dragon enter the sea. Now he's starting to cause trouble on our border. Who knows what kind of big commotion he'll cause in the future?"
"Mother, this time, perhaps you are truly wrong, and have failed to grasp the true situation of the Great Dragon."
"Is that so?" Imperial Tutor Yin sneered: "If you hadn't betrayed him, if you had always steadfastly chosen him, none of this would have happened."
Yes, as an emperor, sometimes you do need to do some extraordinary things, but your decision this time was wrong; you shouldn't have abandoned Ye Qiu.
"Mother, if I do not abandon him, I will face a three-pronged attack from the Sword Immortal Sect, the Supreme Hall, and the Wu Family Sword Pavilion. How should I deal with this?"
Now that Ye Qiu is gone, I am gradually able to take control of the situation. Isn't this a good outcome?
Lin Xuanye clenched his fists.
"I have nothing to say to you. You don't need to ask me what you want to do." Imperial Tutor Yin closed her eyes, no longer wanting to pay attention to Lin Xuanye.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Xuanye said in a deep voice, "I will send 100,000 troops to flatten Zulong City. If 100,000 is not enough, I will send a million. No matter how powerful Ye Qiu is, I will never allow him to sleep peacefully on my border."
After saying this, Lin Xuanye turned around and quickly left.
Imperial Tutor Yin sighed inwardly and muttered to herself, "Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye, I hope your end won't be too tragic."
...
One night later!
The border, Zulong City.
Early in the morning, Ye Qiu organized a team to move the Ancestral Dragon Palace.
After three days of effort, Ye Qiu finally moved the entire Ancestral Dragon Hall to the vicinity of the underground palace entrance.
As for the entrance to the underground palace, it was perfectly hidden behind Ye Qiu's Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Ye Qiu further announced that from today onwards, the area behind this location is a forbidden zone, and no one is allowed to approach it.
After making the necessary arrangements, Ye Qiu was about to lie down and rest when Wu Changhua rushed over.
"Lord, something terrible has happened. Our spies in the border city have sent a secret message saying that the Dragon Emperor plans to gather a large army to raze our Ancestral Dragon City to the ground."
"The border king has now amassed an army of 100,000 and could launch an attack on us at any time." Wu Changhua's expression was solemn.
"Go and call Wei Hu here." Ye Qiu said calmly.
"yes."
Wu Changhua immediately went to call Wei Hu.
Wei Hu hurriedly came to Ye Qiu's side, knelt on one knee and bowed, showing Ye Qiu the utmost respect: "Palace Master, did you summon me here to discuss how to deal with the pressure from the Dragon Dynasty?"
"Pressure?" Ye Qiu laughed. "There's no pressure. He's just a border king. Once he walks into our trap, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Wei Hu, first, arrange archers and heavy weaponsmen to ambush on each hilltop. After the deployment is complete, lead 10,000 men to provoke the border king. Be careful to control the distance and lure him in. Once he enters our magic array, we can easily surround and kill him using our terrain advantage."
"Yes." Wei Hu had no doubt about Ye Qiu's decision.
Ye Qiu patted Wei Hu on the shoulder and laughed, "This is just a small test, don't be nervous."
Furthermore, take advantage of this small test to observe the brothers participating in the battle. I plan to select eight from them for intensive training; they will become the eight great war gods of the Ancestral Dragon Palace.
"Does the Palace Master mean to choose eight, or more?"
"The more the merrier. Let them compete and choose the eight strongest," Ye Qiu said.
"Understood, then I will go and make preparations immediately."
"Go ahead, get ready, and start provoking them," Ye Qiu said.
"yes."
Wei Hu got up and left, striding away.
Ye Qiu also left the Ancestral Dragon Palace and went to the edge of Ancestral Dragon City. Standing at the foot of the high mountain, he overlooked the entire situation.
At this time, each mountain has no fewer than ten magic arrays, and the magic arrays between each mountain can support and connect with each other.
With the addition of various heavy weapons and high-tech equipment donated by the Fire Dynasty, Ye Qiu was confident that even if the Dragon Dynasty sent a million-strong army, they would not be able to break through the Ancestral Dragon City.
Moreover, Ye Qiu did not believe that the Dragon Dynasty could mobilize a million troops to attack his Ancestral Dragon City.
"Do you need my brother's help? If so, I can go back and talk to him."
Beitang Yu had followed Ye Qiu without anyone noticing.
She was panting heavily from climbing the mountain, drenched in sweat, seemingly unbearably hot.
Ye Qiu glanced at Beitang Yu and smiled, "That won't be necessary."
"Pah, just keep pretending. Hmph, those men under your command are all remnants of a defeated army. How much fighting power can they have? I advise you to listen to me and not be reckless, lest you suffer a great loss. The border king has more than 300,000 troops under his command. He may not really only send 100,000." Beitang Yu spoke earnestly and with an air of maturity.
"You don't know anything," Ye Qiu said. "They're not just a bunch of defeated soldiers. In terms of combat strength, even if your brother brought 300,000 men, he might not be able to defeat their 80,000."
"I don't believe it." Beitang Yu said arrogantly, "My brother's Beitang Army is the most invincible. Your 80,000 men are not even qualified to carry his shoes. I guarantee that if you refuse to let my brother help you, your 80,000 men will definitely be killed by the Border King."
"Oh? How about we make a bet? If I win, you'll crawl around our dojo ten times, cursing yourself as you go."
"Of course, if I lose, you can also make demands," Ye Qiu said.
Is this really true?
"really."
"Hey, if you lose, you'll have to become my disciple and honor me as the Temple Mother of the Ancestral Dragon Palace. From now on, the Ancestral Dragon City will obey my orders. Do you dare to bet?" Beitang Yu stared at Ye Qiu with bright eyes.
"You've got quite the ambition, fine, let's gamble."
Ye Qiu was betting with Beitang Yu purely for fun.
But Beitang Yu was very serious about her own thoughts; she was absolutely certain that Ye Qiu would lose.
Because her brother commanded an army of 280,000 and fought the Border King for ten years without a clear victor, she did not believe that Ye Qiu could contend with the Border King with only 80,000 men.
"Hmph, you're doomed to lose." Beitang Yu clenched her fist confidently.
"I say, you little brat, it's like you're hoping I lose. What good will it do you if I lose?" Ye Qiu glared at Bei Tangyu.
"If you win, that would be great, but I actually hope you lose. I want to be the Queen Mother, hehe."
Beitang Yu gave a wicked smile.
Ye Qiu was speechless.
He will certainly not lose. Not only will he not lose, but he will also make the border of the Dragon Dynasty wither away in one battle.
Furthermore, Ye Qiu planned to return to Longdu alone after his great victory to meet with the Sword Immortal Sect, the Supreme Hall, and the Wu Family Sword Pavilion.
The Imperial Tutor's Consort must not have died in vain!
