Then, the ministers said one after another:
"Your Majesty, all of Prince Chang'an's former subordinates have been recruited by Minister Cao. When Prince Chang'an died in the chaos, we won a victory, demoralizing the Chu army. I believe it won't be long before we recapture Hangu Pass."
"Your Majesty, I have just received news that Minister Cao has already begun mobilizing his troops towards Hangu Pass. This battle is absolutely certain to be won."
“…”
Hearing their voices, Ying Yuan's head hurt even more.
The kind of pain that makes you want to die.
He was angry and heartbroken.
He couldn't catch his breath and fell asleep on the dragon throne.

As soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Zhi suddenly stood up, horrified.
Then, because of sadness, he subconsciously took a half step back and almost tripped over the chair behind him.
For a moment, my eyes were filled with tears.
He leaned on the chair involuntarily and murmured, "Impossible... Impossible... This is absolutely impossible. My son is a natural talent, a true dragon descended to the earth. How could he die?
