Fights Break Sphere: After I became Xiao Yan's sister, I was loved by everyone

Chapter 638 Execution Plan
Xiao Xue did not deliberately mention that the information about the ambush in the canyon was provided by Du Ning'an, as this was a move that was somewhat contrary to national interests.

Although Xiao Xue felt a little uncomfortable with the actions Du Ning'an took for the throne and revenge, she understood his approach.

He knew his intentions even better. The army of Luoyan Empire was defeated, and the highest decision-maker was his younger brother. That scum who murdered his mother to get to the top should be held responsible.

At this time in the palace, Du Ningping's face became increasingly gloomy as he listened to Yan Luotian's statement, and his hands were shaking unconsciously.

But he didn't know that Yan Luotian had already returned for two days and only came to the palace today to tell about the imperial army's disastrous defeat in the canyon.

"What? An army of 200,000 people lost more than half of its troops. Sect Master Yan, you promised to conquer the Gama Empire this time. Why did this happen now?"

Du Ningping was very angry. When the Poison Sect came to discuss a joint military expedition, he was full of energy and enthusiasm. It was amazing that someone would send him such a grand gift not long after he ascended the throne.

It was impossible not to be excited. Du Ningping even started dreaming about the three kingdoms dividing the land of the Gama Empire.

This is the first time that the Luoyan Empire has expanded its territory in hundreds of years. This means that he is one of the greatest monarchs of the Luoyan Empire.

By then, no one will be able to shake my throne, no one.

But man proposes, God disposes. It was a war that could have been easily won, but now it has ended in a complete failure.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been a conspiracy of the Izumo Empire from the beginning to the end."

Yan Luotian was also unwilling to accept this defeat. He was even more miserable. Not only did he lose the battle, but he was also poisoned and his life was in danger at any time.

Du Ningping didn't understand what Yan Luotian meant, so he stared at Yan Luotian and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Yan Luotian then narrated everything that happened in the canyon, and finally summarized it in one sentence.

"Your Majesty, if the Izumo Empire had not betrayed us and ambushed us, how could we have suffered so many casualties? I think this Izumo Empire wants to swallow up the Gama Empire and our Luoyan Empire in one gulp."

Du Ningping angrily crushed the armrest of the dragon throne.

"Okay, okay, since the Izumo Empire is so shameless, don't blame us for stabbing you in the back."

Du Ningping's words made Yan Luotian feel uneasy. It was not a wise move to send troops at this moment.

If this was really a strategy of the Izumo Empire, especially since they had already suffered a crushing defeat in the canyon.

Especially Xiao Xue and that abominable demon beast, he was completely powerless to resist. It was very likely that Xiao Xue did not go to the Black Mountain Fortress just to consolidate the rule of the Poison Sect in the Izumo Empire.

With such a person around, let alone the Luoyan Empire, even if we win over the Tianshe Kingdom, we may not be able to win.

What's more, the Tianshe Kingdom does not like this method at all. With their temperament, they completely look down on any alliance. After all, the strength of the Tianshe Palace is really strong.

"Your Majesty, calm down first."

"How can I calm down? After such a disastrous defeat, how can I explain to those ministers who opposed it in the beginning? You also know that they have always had objections to my father passing the throne to me. I thought this battle could change things, but in the end, I was defeated miserably."

Du Ningping's words were indeed true. The old emperor was not dead yet, but he was just unwell, and Du Ningping hurriedly took the throne. This had long made people doubt him.

But Du Ningping was also very clear about one thing, that is, the reason why he was able to take the position was because of the support of the Golden Goose Sect. Of course, he also had a good relationship with the Poison Sect behind the back of the Golden Goose Sect, which was why he could question Yan Luotian so confidently at this moment.

Yan Luotian's face looked very bad. The reason why he chose Du Ningping was more because he was a waste and easy to control.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The Poison Sect clearly has ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would our army be ambushed as soon as it left the empire and set foot on the territory of the Izumo Empire? We are the only ones who know the marching route."

Du Ningping's anger eased slightly when he heard Yan Luotian's words.

But he still couldn't figure out why the Poison Sect would betray him? Could it be true as Yan Luotian said? Did they have plans for the Luoyan Empire? Now it seemed that this was the only explanation.

"Master Yan, you also know that some of the old ministers in the court have already been dissatisfied with me. They did not believe in my promise to cooperate with the Izumo Empire. Now that it has really come true, I am afraid they will make a big fuss about it. You also know that my brother is not dead."

Du Ningping didn't want to push Yan Luotian too hard, as they were now both in the same boat.

It was because the Jinyan Sect was willing to go with the army that the ministers stopped trying to stop them.

"Your Majesty is right, so I did not withdraw the army to the imperial capital. We just need to block the news and wait for a perfect opportunity to take another gamble. By then, as long as we get what we wanted before, we will not be afraid of the rumors of those ministers."

Yan Luotian now revealed an important reason why he left the army at the border and did not bring them directly back to the imperial capital.

Du Ningping was still very satisfied with Yan Luotian's arrangement.

However, Du Ningping's anger inexplicably burned towards the villains like the Izumo Empire who went back on their words.

"Master Yan, do you think the Gama Empire has a chance of winning?"

Yan Luotian shook his head and explained, "The Gama Empire only has one Queen Medusa who is a Dou Zong. Now she doesn't count as Xiao Xue who intercepted me. The Gama Empire will also find it difficult to compete with the Izumo Empire and the Mulan Empire."

Du Ningping originally wanted to get a bargain, but now he is afraid that there is no bargain to be found.

Du Ningping's eyes were gloomy and he looked listless.

Inside the inn, the light in Xiao Xue's room was still flickering.

"Sir, I originally thought that you would just hold Yan Luotian back, but I never thought that you would defeat him and even beat him back. It's just... it's just that the nearly 100,000 imperial troops died, I feel guilty towards them."

Xiao Xue didn't know whether Du Ning'an was really feeling guilty for those soldiers who died.

However, Xiao Xue still had to be grateful to Du Ning'an. With his intelligence, she was able to set up an ambush successfully and defeat the army of Luoyan Empire.

However, Xiao Xue keenly discovered a problem, that Du Ning'an should also be planning a shocking secret.

The secret is how he ascended the throne. Most of the disciples of Jinyan Sect fought with the army, so he did have the ability to launch a coup.

But I seemed to have disrupted his plan. Yan Luotian entered the imperial capital one day earlier than me. He must have noticed something and gave up.

Xiao Xue really didn't know how to respond to Du Ning'an's words. If she said he was right, it seemed like he was wrong. If she said he was wrong, it seemed like she was hurting him even more.

Xiao Xue had no choice but to stroke the Husky in her arms out of boredom to ease the silent atmosphere. She could even hear the dog's breathing clearly.

I am OK at beating people up, but I am not good at comforting people. I am the type who is always comforted. And those who are already strong enough rarely seem to need comfort.
