What?! Her cousin died? Are you kidding? He was fine, how could he die?
Xia Changan was so shocked by Lin Zewu's words that he almost stumbled. The other members of the delegation were also startled and showed surprised expressions.
The injured and pale Yan Huazhang was the first one in the delegation to come to his senses.
After spending the past few days together, Yan Huazhang had figured out Xia Changan's temper. He knew that he didn't like to talk, so he stepped forward and invited Lin Zewu to the conference room to continue the discussion.
"Marshal Lin, this matter is of great importance. Can you confirm the authenticity of the news?" Yan Huazhang took the initiative to take the task of questioning.
Lin Zewu immediately replied, "This is absolutely true! This news was brought back by my spy in Kyoto. Not long after he escaped, Xilin City suddenly lost contact with the outside world, and the message for help could not be sent out. Even the messenger I sent out lost contact."
Spy? Is it really okay to admit in front of a princess like her that he has a spy in Kyoto?
Thanks to Lin Zewu's careless words, Xia Changan finally recovered from his shock.
But this fact is too strange.
Yan Huazhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Logically speaking, if His Majesty passed away, Kyoto would immediately send someone to inform Your Highness. Your Highness would come forward to take charge of the situation. However, the fact is that we are unable to get in touch with Kyoto."
"More than that. Xilin City is strategically located and is an important border city in the west of Daxia. Unless all the senior military officials have met with an accident, they will never ignore the crisis in Xilin City." Yue Yuxiang also felt that something was wrong.
"Who says it's not true? Now Xilin City is isolated and helpless. All the troops added up only have 50,000 elite soldiers, two ninth-rank generals, and this old man, the commander of the True Immortal Realm. But we are surrounded by a full 100,000 troops, five ninth-rank generals, and one True Immortal. The enemy's combat power is more than twice that of Xilin City. If it weren't for the fear of the city defense formation, Yunqi Country would have taken action long ago."
Lin Zewu suddenly sighed and continued, "Although the defensive formation of Xilin City is of the highest grade and cannot be easily destroyed, our spies discovered that Yunqi Country seems to have developed something to restrain the formation. Their True Immortal went back to Yunqi Country today to get that thing. When he comes back, I guess we'll have to fight."
As Lin Zewu was talking, he suddenly looked at Xia Changan.
The latter was looking at him and thought to herself that it was not good. This old fox wanted to trick her! Before Xia Changan could even get his feet wet, Lin Zewu knelt down with a plop.
"Your Highness! At this critical moment, I, an old minister, can only lick this old face and beg Your Highness to take action to save Xilin City! Please, Your Highness! Succession to the throne!"
Xia Changan was so frightened by him that he jumped up from his seat.
She knew that this old fox had bad intentions! What hatred or grudge did he have? Why would he want to trick her like this!
Asking her, a socially phobic person, to become an emperor is like putting her on the fire!
No, no, no! She couldn't stay here any longer and had to leave immediately.
Xia Changan didn't even look at Lin Zewu who was kneeling on the ground, and walked out the door. However, Lin Zewu hugged his thigh.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, wait a minute! I know you don't want to do this. But Xilin City really can't wait any longer. You can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Lin Zewu held Xia Changan's thighs tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Yan Huazhang and others beside him twitched their lips, and their evaluation of Lin Zewu changed silently. He is indeed a man who has lived for more than a hundred years, and he is really willing to take risks!
Xia Changan, whose thigh was hugged, froze all over and his brain instantly went blank.
Fortunately, Xia Hun's angry voice saved her brain.
"What are you doing, you old man! Who told you to touch An An? Let go!"
He hasn't even hugged An An. This stinky old man is so shameless! It's a pity that he has no entity and can't do anything, otherwise he will definitely make this old man pay!
[Lord Yan, General Yue, pull this man away! ! ! ]
Xia Changan gritted her teeth and sent a message. It was not until Lin Zewu was dragged away by the two that she calmed down a little.
Damn it, I almost failed just now! Xia Changan glared at the culprit fiercely.
[General Yue! Land the Cloud Piercing Boat at Xilin City. Tell Lin Zewu that the Imperial Palace will find a way to deal with the Xilin City issue. But don't mention the succession to the throne again! !]
Compared to being an emperor, it was easier to deal with the army of Yunqi. Coincidentally, she had been unhappy with Yunqi for a long time.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Zewu had arranged accommodation for the Daxia delegation. Xia Changan, who had been depressed for a long time, finally regained his peace.
"Too scary! It turns out that none of Daxia's ministers are easy to deal with. This Dao Soul of Lin Zewu is probably his own shamelessness. He is really thick-skinned!"
After Xia Changan sent Si Meng away, he couldn't help but complain to Xia Hun.
"Hmph! Not only is he shameless, he also takes advantage of you. How disrespectful of an elder!" Xia Hun was still upset about this matter.
"Oh, never mind. He is just too worried about Xilin City. This matter is indeed a bit tricky and difficult."
After all, the other party was an old minister who was loyal to Daxia, so Xia Changan would not bother with him so much. What she was more worried about now was how to solve the crisis in Xilin City.
After all, she was just a fifth-level scum. If she were thrown onto the battlefield, she wouldn't even make a splash.
But she has been pushed to the limit. If she doesn't solve this problem, she will be forced to become the emperor. No! She must not let such a terrible thing happen!
Let her think carefully about what to do.
Yunqi Country did develop something to counter the formation, but it was not as powerful as Lin Zewu imagined.
That day, when the people of Yunqi Country were discussing this matter, they were just observed by the scanning program. It was actually a modified version of the Breaking Array Talisman. Although the name was not Breaking Array Talisman, it could not actually break the array, but could only allow the user to temporarily escape from the control of the array.
With the national strength of Yunqi, it is absolutely impossible to produce a formation-breaking talisman that can equip an army of 100,000 in such a short time. Therefore, they actually only prepared this item for a few of the strongest people.
Therefore, the situation was not that bleak. But it was indeed not far from the official start of the war. She only had one day to prepare.
She didn't know how to march and fight, and couldn't think of any tricks to turn the tide and defeat the enemy with fewer troops. So she could only work hard to improve her actual combat effectiveness.
In such a short time, it is impossible for the soldiers' personal strength to improve. After all, she is not a god, so it is impossible for her to do that.
Then the only option was to upgrade the weapons and equipment outside. She could indeed use supercomputers to quickly produce weapons and equipment. However, the garrison in Xilin City was already well-equipped, and there was no room for improvement in this regard.
"Oh! Look at my brain! I've been in the spirit world for so long that my way of thinking has become the same. Weapons are not limited to cold weapons like swords, guns, sticks and clubs! Let me recall, what are those modern hot weapons?"
Xia Changan's eyes lit up, and suddenly an idea came to him.
