A hoarse voice from the shadows recalled, "Two years ago, the Divine Doctor Valley was escorting an old scholar to the Northern Moon Kingdom when they were assassinated by the arrogant and ignorant Ming Pavilion. As a result, the Divine Doctor Valley went to Ming Pavilion in a big way and wiped out the entire Ming Pavilion, not even sparing the assassins who were out on missions."
Back then, the Netherworld Pavilion was full of experts and dominated the martial arts world, but the Divine Doctor Valley wiped out the entire family with only half of its manpower. Now, where in the martial arts world can the Divine Doctor Valley be a match for them?
Oh, there really is one, it's the First Floor, but the First Floor never gets involved in the affairs of the Divine Doctor Valley, and has even helped the Divine Doctor Valley intentionally or unintentionally before.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this woman to be so lucky. Not only did we send so many assassins but they failed to kill her, and she even managed to get on the good side of the Divine Healer Valley. Now, it's not so easy for us to touch her."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat when he heard the man in black robes' words.
What!
Wow, that's unbelievable!
All he knew was that the Underworld Pavilion had disappeared from the martial arts world.
But they didn't know that the Underworld Pavilion was actually destroyed by the Divine Doctor Valley.
"Then... what should we do? Now that the people from the Divine Healer Valley are escorting him, how can we possibly make a move?"
The man in black robes remained silent. The emperor raised an eyebrow and said urgently, "Why don't we go all the way? Let's send some people to disguise themselves as people from the other three kingdoms. Even if we are discovered, it won't have much to do with us."
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes sneered, "You still think it's as simple as you framing the other two countries inside the manor?"
What are you thinking? Just because they're not investigating doesn't mean the people of Divine Healer Valley are fools.
When the emperor heard the man in black robes reprimand him mercilessly, he was filled with rage. This was too much! He was the emperor, how dare the man reprimand him?
But he swallowed the words back and asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do? Are we really going to watch her go to the battlefield to help that bastard?"
The man in black robes sneered upon hearing the emperor's words. "You really think the battlefield is such an easy place to go?"
Seeing that the emperor was still uneasy, the man in black continued, "Besides, how can you be sure that she went to the battlefield to help Mo Beichen, and not to hold him back?"
A sheltered young woman who has never traveled far from home would be terrified to death if she went to the battlefield, let alone help fight. What a pipe dream...
The emperor pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter." The emperor glanced at the hiding place of the man in black robes and said in a deep voice.
Liu Decai walked in, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Mu requests an audience."
The emperor looked surprised. What was this old fox doing here?
It's truly a rare occurrence that I've lived to see him take the initiative to come to me.
After pondering for a while, the emperor said, "Let him in."
Prime Minister Mu, dressed in his official robes, bowed formally.
The emperor sat on his seat, looked at him, and asked, "What urgent matter brings you before me, my dear minister?"
The prime minister bowed his head and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I do indeed have an important matter to report, concerning the gold mine."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face turned cold. "What? You're also trying to persuade me to share the gold mines with the other three kingdoms?"
Recently, every day during court sessions, someone has proposed that he share the gold mine with the other three kingdoms.
This infuriated him. Why?
This is clearly a product of his Tianmo Kingdom, so why should it be shared with the other three kingdoms?
The emperor then added, "If you have come to me about this matter as well, then there is no need to say anything more. You may leave."
Prime Minister Mu did not step down; instead, he respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed once before slowly speaking:
"Your Majesty, I have never intended to cede the gold mine to the other three kingdoms."
As His Majesty said at yesterday's morning court, the gold mine was discovered within Tianmo Kingdom. Why should it be shared with the other three kingdoms? It originally belonged to our Tianmo Kingdom.”
The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you want to say?"
Prime Minister Mu said, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the gold mine is a product of our Tianmo Kingdom that we must guard it with even greater care."
Recently, my men discovered people from three other kingdoms loitering near the gold mine. I suspect they suffered a defeat on the battlefield and are trying to sabotage the mine. I urge Your Majesty to consider this matter carefully.”
Upon hearing this, the emperor's voice turned cold, "As a dignified regent, if he doesn't even have this much ability, I don't know what he's good for."
I sent him to the front lines to fight, but good heavens, he allowed the enemy to take advantage of the situation and run rampant in the rear. It's utterly outrageous!
Mu Chengxiang did not respond to the emperor's words.
The emperor glanced at him and thought, "What a cunning old fox."
The emperor, unperturbed by the sight, waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave."
Prime Minister Mu didn't say anything more, as saying more would only backfire.
Sure enough, after Prime Minister Mu left, the emperor couldn't wait to send a team of personal guards to guard the gold mine.
With the escort of Shenyigu and others, Yun Qingluo traveled smoothly and reached the border in about ten days.
At the border between Tianmo Kingdom and Tianlang Kingdom, there are several cities that form a natural defensive line.
From farthest to near, they are: Blackwater City, Cloud City, Rouran City, Moon Reflection City, and Dragon Tiger City.
These five cities form the five lines of defense on the border. Once the fifth line of defense, Longhu City, is breached, the enemy can directly invade Jingzhou and obtain the border defense map.
Once you have the border map, it's equivalent to owning half of the Tianmo Kingdom's territory.
Why was something so important placed in Jingzhou instead of the capital, right under the emperor's nose?
This is because border defense deployments are frequently adjusted based on factors such as weather, terrain, season, and personnel.
Moreover, as the command center for the first five lines of defense, Jingzhou would issue instructions to the first five cities at any time based on changes in the deployment, and would also promptly inform the imperial court of any changes.
