Chapter 194: Border Emergency

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of the capital gradually subsided. Outside the palace, the lights on the street were still bright, and there were bursts of noise coming from the market in the distance, which seemed to foreshadow a peaceful night. However, this tranquility was soon broken by the sound of hurried horse hooves.

A fast horse galloped in from the city gate. The knight was wearing the armor of a frontier soldier, with a solemn expression and sweat running down his cheeks. The horse stopped suddenly in front of the palace gate, and the knight almost fell off the horse. He held the saddle and took a breath for a moment, then pulled out a roll of urgent military newspaper and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

The palace gate guard immediately stepped forward to stop them: "Stop! Who dares to trespass into the palace?"

The knight raised his head and said anxiously, "I am a messenger from the border, bringing urgent military news! Please report to the emperor immediately!"

Seeing the knight's serious expression and dusty body, the guards dared not neglect him. They quickly checked the knight's token and, after confirming that it was correct, quickly ushered him into the palace. The knight ran all the way to the imperial study.

At this time, in the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials. The light reflected on his face, making him look solemn and majestic. Hearing the noise outside, he frowned slightly, put down the memorial in his hand, and signaled the eunuch chief to open the door.

"What's so urgent?" the emperor asked in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping sharply towards the door.

The knight knelt on the ground, holding up the military report with both hands, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the border is in danger! This is an urgent military report sent by the general of the border, please take a look!"

The emperor frowned even more. He took the military report, unfolded it quickly, and scanned the paper quickly. As he read deeper, his face became more and more gloomy. The military report said: The Golden Wolf Tribe has invaded the border in large numbers. The city is in danger. Please ask the emperor to send reinforcements immediately.

The emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and a heavy pressure surged in his heart. He knew very well that the border was the barrier of the Great Qi. Once it was lost, the consequences would be disastrous. He raised his head and looked at the knight with deep eyes: "Tell me in detail about the situation on the front line."

The knight took a deep breath and raised his head, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness: "Your Majesty, the Golden Wolf Clan is coming with great force this time. Their cavalry is extremely powerful and their attack is fierce. Although our city defenses are resisting tenaciously, we are short of manpower and have suffered heavy casualties. Your Majesty, please send reinforcements immediately, otherwise the border will be difficult to support."

The emperor's face became more solemn. He slowly stood up and paced in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, thinking about countermeasures. He knew that the Golden Wolf Clan had always been brave and good at fighting. This large-scale attack must have been well prepared. While the border soldiers were defending the city, they were also under tremendous pressure.

"You go down and rest first," the emperor said to the knight. Although his voice was not loud, it was extremely firm. "I will immediately summon important officials to discuss countermeasures. I will handle the border affairs personally."

The knight knelt again and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The soldiers on the border will live up to your trust and defend the border to the death!"

After the knight left, the emperor sat back at his desk, but his heart could not calm down for a long time. His fingers tapped the table again, and his mind kept thinking about various possible countermeasures. The attack of the Golden Wolf Tribe made him realize that Da Qi was facing an unprecedented crisis.

"Send an order to immediately gather the Azure Dragon Society, White Tiger League, Lian Di, Lian Fang and Mei Fei to urgently discuss strategies to defend against the enemy!" the emperor ordered in a deep voice.

The eunuch took the order and left. The emperor looked out the window again. The night sky was dotted with stars, but was shrouded in a layer of light clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Soon, important officials came one after another, including Qinglong, Baiyu, and Heihu of the Qinglong Society, the leaders of the White Tiger League, Liandi, Lianfang, and Meifei, all gathered outside the imperial study. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and they felt the seriousness of the situation in their hearts.

Qinglong stood at the front of the team, his face still had that calm and steady expression, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Baiyu stood beside him, with a resolute expression, and seemed particularly calm. Heihu was as cold as ever, and his eyes revealed a hint of alertness, as if he was ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The sisters Lian Di and Lian Fang seemed a little worried. They knew little about the situation on the border, but they knew that at this moment, they had to unite to overcome the difficulties. Mei Fei stood behind them, her expression calm, but with a deep light in her eyes, she was thinking about how to provide support for this battle.
