Chapter 963: Weird Knock on the Door

Although Pei Chuyan is a man of few words, he is a very efficient person.

The next day, he entered the palace and announced the suspension of morning court sessions.

Now this morning court is not important to the Dali Kingdom.

During the next period of time, his most important thing is to concentrate on dealing with all the problems of the Dali Kingdom.

In the next half month, Pei Chuyan ruthlessly dealt with those running dog officials who used to be around Li Cheng.

I have to say that Pei Chuyan is very courageous, and his methods of handling things can be described as very cruel.

Xia Ning didn't expect that Pei Chuyan would have such an imperial demeanor.

He had been following the Emperor of Great Chu since he was a child, and he knew that as an emperor, he could not be merciful. Only by being courageous could he control the situation.

The ministers who originally thought that Pei Chuyan was just a warning to others began to change their mindset after seeing the first family’s property being confiscated, the second family’s property being confiscated, and the third family being exiled.

It can be said that for a time, every official in the Dali Kingdom felt insecure.

In order to protect themselves, some officials have begun to sue those who were once in cahoots with them.

They naturally hoped that they could gain Pei Chuyan's forgiveness by turning themselves in.

Pei Chuyan also took advantage of this opportunity to vigorously reorganize the Dali Kingdom.

When everything was going smoothly, another piece of news came from the border.

The three small countries around Dali Kingdom actually joined hands and launched an attack on Dali Kingdom from three different directions.

Pei Chuyan had expected something like this to happen, so he was not surprised.

However, he knew in his heart that this was of vital importance to the Dali Kingdom and to himself.

In this battle, we can only win, not lose.

This is a great opportunity to demonstrate my military talent. Since I am the descendant of Duke Anguo, I should have this ability.

He would never bring shame to his father.

Furthermore, if he failed in this war, he would inevitably be resisted by all the ministers of the Dali Kingdom who had previously opposed his coming to power.

And the prestige that he had just established would also disappear.

He also knew what these small countries were thinking. They simply felt that they were acting so recklessly because of the series of changes that had taken place in the Dali Kingdom.

Although Xia Ning also said that if he handled this matter improperly, the Emperor of Chu would send troops to support him.

But from his point of view, he still wanted to give priority to using the army of Dali Kingdom.

He knew very well that if he asked for help, the ministers of the Dali Kingdom would resist him.

That night, Pei Chuyan was discussing the next response strategy with Xia Ning in the study.

The two of them were thinking about various plans. In fact, the Dali Kingdom did have soldiers available, but it needed excellent generals.

Generals are what the Dali Kingdom lacks.

Even if Fu Yao was able to go into battle and kill the enemy, he could go there himself, but there was still one person missing in the other direction.

He was discussing this matter with Xia Ning.

At this time, Lu Xingwan had already left Tianji Sect and brought Qilin with him to the outside of Pei Chuyan's study quietly.

She sensed Pei Chuyan's breath all the way and landed lightly outside the study.

When she saw Pei Chuyan's study again, she felt a little surprised. She didn't expect that Pei Chuyan walked so fast.

Now he can even enter Yu's study. It seems that everything is going well for him in the Dali Kingdom.

In order to avoid trouble, Lu Xingwan used his spiritual power to avoid the guards around him. Even if Lu Xingwan stood in front of them, they could not detect Lu Xingwan at all.

At this moment, Lu Xingwan felt quite emotional. He had to admit that when he was still in this mortal world, he felt a stronger sense of accomplishment.

For these mortals, even a bit of his spiritual power is enough for them to worship him.

At this time, Lu Xingwan knocked on the door gently.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Ning was slightly startled and looked towards the door.

Then Xia Ning looked at Pei Chuyan with confusion.

This imperial palace is guarded by layers of security, so why would someone knock on the door so late at night?

Thinking of this, Xia Ning felt a little uncomfortable.

The knock on the door seemed vague, which made Xia Ning feel a little creepy.

For some reason, when Pei Chuyan looked towards the door, a sense of anticipation inexplicably arose in his heart.

He felt that the person standing outside the door was the person he was thinking of.

There was a strange light flashing in his eyes. He took a step forward without hesitation, walked past Xia Ning and ran towards the door.

The look on his face made Xia Ning, who was standing by, feel that Pei Chuyan seemed to be controlled by something.

He wanted to reach out and grab Pei Chuyan, but his steps were so fast that Xia Ning just barely touched Pei Chuyan's sleeve and slipped past him.

Pei Chuyan's hand had already fallen on the door. At that moment, he almost felt that his heart was going to jump out, and his hands even trembled slightly.

Without hesitation, he took another step forward and flung open the door.

Sure enough, just as he thought, Wanwan happened to be standing in front of him with Qilin in her arms, smiling sweetly.

When she saw Pei Chuyan, her warm smile was like a shining star.

For some reason, he felt that it was Wanwan standing outside the door just now.

Wanwan is a very clever girl, and has some abilities that are different from others. Only she can behave in such a weird way.

When he saw Wanwan, Pei Chuyan couldn't help but smile.

He had been working very hard in Dali Kingdom during this period, and when he suddenly saw Wanwan, he felt like he had seen his family.

Wanwan's appearance seemed to dispel the haze in his heart.

Xia Ning, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw this scene.

To be honest, ever since he followed Pei Chuyan to the Dali Kingdom, he seemed to have never seen Pei Chuyan smile so sincerely.

He was so calm all day long that he didn't look like a child at all.

He looked cold all day long, but at this moment, his smile seemed like melted ice.

Lu Xingwan didn't care about these things. She walked into the room quickly, not caring about Pei Chuyan who was behind her. Instead, she walked to Xia Ning's position and bowed slightly to him: "Master Xia, long time no see. I hope you are well."

Xia Ning had always felt that Princess Yong'an was a little too precocious, and now seeing her like this, he felt that even more so.

Without caring about anything else, he hurried forward and bowed in the direction of Lu Xingwan: "Princess, you are too polite. Are you all right?"

He couldn't help but stick his head out to see who came with Lu Xingwan. What if it was the Imperial Concubine? Wouldn't that mean they could be saved?
