Everyone's face was filled with worry, and the civil servants were whispering to each other.
The military generals stood by the side of the hall, their brows furrowed, obviously worried.
"The military rations have been stolen. If we don't solve the problem, how are the soldiers on the border going to fight?" A general was so anxious that his face turned red and he slammed the table.
"Yes, the border is in crisis and the enemy is approaching the city. Without food and grass supplies, how can the court maintain the overall situation?" Another civil servant echoed anxiously.
At this moment, a report came from outside the palace: "Lord Shen has arrived!"
