Da Yan.
Bauhinia City.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the most prosperous area, close to the palace city, and is extremely majestic.
"drive!"
A tall knight stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a somewhat dazed look on his face, which attracted the attention of others.
"Yu Shang!"
"Um?"
Yu Shang raised his head and happened to see a delicate figure coming towards him, but he did not dare to underestimate her at all. The delicate woman in front of him came from the Xuan Miao Sect!
Moreover, she is a candidate for the Saint of Xuan Miao Sect, and her cultivation level is unfathomable.
"Are you also here to visit the Prime Minister?"
"Um!"
Qi Lanyue nodded and said softly: "I know your reason for coming. I was entrusted by Commander Gu, and I met Grandpa not long after you left!"
There was a thoughtful look in Yu Shang's eyes, and she nodded: "In that case, let's go in together!"
"good!"
The two sent greetings together, and not long after, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion came out to greet them. Although these two people had extraordinary status, they were just juniors after all, and naturally they were not worthy of being greeted by the Prime Minister in person.
"Yushang, Qi Lanyue, have met the Prime Minister!"
"hehe!"
The kind old man in the pavilion looked at the two of them with a smile: "Boy Yu, girl from the Qi family, why did you two end up together?"
"We happened to meet each other at the door, so we came to visit together."
"Well, come and do it!"
As the mainstay of the Yan Dynasty, Quan Ji was extremely prestigious. Looking at all the princes in the dynasty, only his words could penetrate into Emperor Yan's heart.
"Tell me, you two little guys came back from the front line to see me, an old man, but what happened?"
"Prime Minister!"
Yu Shang's face was deep and his eyes were dull, and he said in a deep voice: "Two days ago, the Black Yan Guard and the Chi Yan Guard encountered Dayu's 50,000 begging army in Changyuan. Yun Shuai died in battle, and the Black Yan Guard and Scarlet Flame Guard..."
"completely annihilated!"
"What!"
Quan Ji's expression also changed suddenly, and even the hand holding the tea cup was a little unsteady.
Yu Shang secretly clenched her fists and continued: "I witnessed this battle with my own eyes. Commander Yun was determined to die, otherwise he would not have ended up like this."
"well!"
Quan Ji also let out a long sigh and looked at Qi Lanyue aside: "Girl, why are you here?"
"Please ask the Prime Minister to come forward and persuade your Majesty to abandon the southern battlefield!"
"Haha, is this what you mean, or..."
"This time Lan Yue was entrusted by the ancient commander, it was also my grandfather's intention!"
Hearing Qi Lanyue's words, Quan Ji was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I know this, you two go down first!"
"I'll go to the palace later!"
"Um!"
…
royal palace.
Lanxin Palace.
"I have been a little restless these past two days. Concubine Lan, you come from a family of ancient doctors. Please cook me a medicinal meal!"
"yes!"
The woman is gentle and generous, with a pure and blue heart, and an indescribable tenderness in her eyes. Emperor Yan is lying on a chair, looking a little comfortable.
"I don't have to worry about the southern battlefield. If the ancient scholar comes forward, Dali will surely fall apart."
"But in the Western Region...this group of scoundrels dare to invade our Dayan border. Sooner or later, I will march across the Central Plains with my horse on the capital of Yu!"
"snort!"
Emperor Yan's face showed a bit of anger, but Concubine Lan's expression was calm and she was busy minding her own business.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you!"
"Oh?" Emperor Yan said in surprise: "Xiu Mu today, what is he doing here?"
"Let him wait for me in the front hall."
"yes!"
"My beloved concubine, I will go take care of business first and will come see you later."
"Concubine, I would like to send you to Your Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Yan walking out of the hall, the smile on Concubine Lan's face gradually disappeared and she said lightly: "Is there any news?"
"Empress, all of our people have lost contact!"
"What!"
Concubine Lan's expression changed slightly, and she spoke in a deep voice: "There are masters in the academy, so we can't force our way in. I'm afraid we will have to find another way."
"Your Majesty, how about I go there myself?"
"Don't be rash. That place is not simple. You need to figure it out slowly."
"You go down first, I have my own arrangements for this matter!"
"yes!"
After the entire hall became completely quiet, Concubine Lan clapped her hands gently and a figure walked out of the back hall.
"To upload a message to the Lord, I need someone who is good at concealment."
"Purpose?"
"Explore the academy!"
"Where?"
“The location of Da Yan’s heritage!”
…
Front hall.
Seeing Emperor Yan's figure swaggering over, Quan Ji quickly bowed and handed over his hand.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, it's just you and me, the monarch and my ministers, so don't forget about the common etiquette!"
"sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Quan Ji sat down aside. With his status in Emperor Yan's heart, he really didn't need to care about these false courtesy.
However, how should we organize the language and tell His Majesty the news calmly?
"What's the matter?"
Quan Ji pondered for a long time. Seeing that Emperor Yan was getting impatient, he finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I have good news to report to Your Majesty!"
"oh?"
After hearing the three words of good news, Emperor Yan also showed a bit of anticipation, and the impatience on his face completely disappeared.
"Let me tell you, I haven't been able to sleep well these past two days. Prime Minister, your good news comes at just the right time!"
"hehe!"
Quan Ji also laughed dryly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance. The day when you will rule the world is not far away!"
"Your Majesty has taken another big step towards the great cause of unification!"
"Could it be that... there is good news on the Dali battlefield?"
Quan Ji shook his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, I, Da Yan, just lost a battle two days ago, and I just received the news!"
"Loss?"
"It was through this defeat that I learned something and allowed me, Da Yan, to change my past situation!"
Emperor Yan was confused again, his face already showing a bit of displeasure.
"I have discovered that whether it is Dali, Xishu, or even Hunu, after all, it is not my Da Yan's personal trouble!"
"Today's Dali is like the setting sun in the Western Mountains. The country is ruined and the treasury is empty. Our Dayan can be destroyed at any time."
"To this day, Da Li has still not fallen under the iron heel of my Da Yan. Has Your Majesty ever considered why?"
"Is it because... Dayu?"
"Exactly!"
Quan Ji nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "The letter from the ancient commander said that just when Da Yan's heavenly army was preparing to cross the river, Dayu sent an army of 300,000 to help Da Li garrison the Li River. There were even Counterattack!"
"That's unreasonable!"
"Your Majesty, the Red Yanwei and the Black Yanwei also suffered a lot at the hands of Dayu, and the Changqing Marquis was also seriously injured and is dying!"
"But Dayu only used 50,000 soldiers and horses!"
"What!"
Emperor Yan's face showed a bit of shock, but Quan Ji said calmly: "It is precisely because of this battle that we can see the true face of Dayu clearly!"
"Dayu, I fear he has ambitions to dominate the world!"
"Sooner or later, I, Dayan, may fall under Dayu's cavalry!"
