The First Tyrant of Daxia

Hearing this, Qin Yun carefully looked at Murong Shunhua's expression, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether his beloved concubine was lying or not.

"Your Majesty, if you have this idea, perhaps this is an opportunity." Murong Shunhua chuckled.

Qin Yun calmed down after seeing this. He looked around and whispered, "To be honest, I feel a little sorry for her, but Zhu Rong is a woman with a hot temper. I don't think I can get along well with her..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Shunhua's face changed, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and a bad look appeared on her face: "Your Majesty, have you really thought about it?"

Oh no! I fell into a trap!

Qin Yun was stunned and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Wow, I didn't expect that my beloved concubine would now be able to use sting operations to enforce the law!

It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. This is true for me!

"Your Majesty, so you really mean it when you specifically mention Zhu Rong?" Murong Shunhua took light steps, pressing closer with an unfriendly look.

"This, this... this..."

Qin Yun smiled awkwardly, a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead, and he was frantically thinking about how to deal with it.

At this moment, a hesitant voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Rong was seen standing at the entrance of the palace, looking at Murong Shunhua and Qin Yun, seemingly wondering whether to continue talking.

Qin Yun was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stepped forward and said, "General Zhu, do you want to discuss the next matters with me? I happen to have time!"

Having said that, he pulled Zhu Rong and walked aside without saying anything.

Murong Shunhua stared at the backs of the two men unhappily, snorted, rolled her eyes, and as if she was thinking of something, she twisted her slender waist and left.

The two came to a corridor on the side, which was decorated with colorful glazed tiles. The whole corridor looked gorgeous and dazzling, making people feel as if they were in a dream.

"Huh... I escaped."

Qin Yun saw Murong Shunhua disappear outside the hall, he let out a long breath and looked at Zhu Rong.

"General Zhu, what do you want from me?"

Zhurong was wearing armor, and his slender and muscular legs were wrapped under the armor, as if containing explosive power.

Although Qin Yun had already transferred Zhu Rong here a long time ago, he still couldn't find an opportunity to have a good chat with him.

Today, he had some free time, and finally had the time to take a good look at this former leader of the Jurchen Elephant Army.

"Not bad, still that unruly look." After a while, Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction and commented.

Years of guarding the frontier have made her face a little rougher, but she is even more rebellious and more unruly than when she was a Jurchen.

Hearing this, Zhu Rong nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

Then, the two of them sat in silence, neither of them knowing what to say.

The few times they met in the past, they only discussed war matters. Their relationship is now more like that of an ordinary monarch and his subject. The beauty of the past has long been buried by time.

After a long silence, Qin Yun coughed, trying to break the awkwardness: "By the way, the terrain of the Karim Basin is complex. Can the elephant army adapt to this terrain now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Rong raised his chin, revealing a fanatical self-confidence: "Of course! I have never fallen behind in the training of the target army over the years, and I am only stronger than before!"

"Yes, I admire your confidence. This is the time for the elephant army to show its power!" Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction.

Most of the previous battlefields were plain charges. Although the elephant army was powerful, the West also had artillery. In this case, the elephant army would be a sitting duck, so most of the time they did not participate in frontal attacks.

Zhu Rong's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Qin Yun. She suddenly asked, "Does Your Majesty still remember the promise you made to me?"

"The promise to you?" Qin Yun was stunned. Too much time had passed and he was unable to react suddenly. He stood there and recalled for a while, which awakened the dormant memory.

Back then, Zhu Rong was dissatisfied with his power arrangement over the Jurchens, now the Northern Desert, and came to ask for an explanation.

Qin Yun's explanation was that he was worried that Zhu Rong would be carried away by his subordinates' desire for power and follow in the footsteps of Wanyan Honglie.

But this is only part of the reason. Another part is that Zhu Rong is not like Dugu Jin and Zhuo Lulan, who have been completely conquered by themselves.

Zhurong has always been that unruly and wild woman.

In order to appease Zhu Rong, he promised that there would be a chance for the Xiang army to conquer the world and sweep away the enemy, and at that time he would give her everything she wanted.

"Are you here to fulfill your promise to me now?" Qin Yun said calmly with a dignified look.

Seeing Qin Yun like this, Zhu Rong, although still as unruly as ever, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

Back then, she dominated the Jurchens and led the elephant army to victory. She thought she was invincible, but she was defeated by the army led by this man.

Although he didn't say it, Zhu Rong actually had an inexplicable emotion towards Qin Yun in his heart.

Whenever I see him, I can't help but feel submissive.

"I know that if you want something, you have to give it in exchange." Zhu Rong took a deep breath and said slowly: "This time, I will lead the elephant army to sweep across the four directions! Clear the way for your majesty!"

"Okay, if you can open this road leading directly to Great Britain for me, I will do everything I promised." Qin Yun said with a smile.

Zhu Rong didn't say anything else, and prepared to leave with her round and straight legs.

After taking two steps, she suddenly paused and turned to look at Qin Yun.

Seeing that she seemed to want to say something, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Anything else?"

Zhu Rong's face flushed slightly, his beautiful eyes flickered, and he said, "Your Majesty once said that we would meet again after the unification of the north. I have been waiting for some time."

"Forehead……"

Qin Yun was somewhat embarrassed. After all, no one could have imagined that Wang Min would succeed in seizing power in the Huns and even directly proclaim himself emperor. As a result, Qin Yun was now unable to take any action against the Huns. He could only let Empress Xiao, in her capacity as empress, declare that the Northern Huns were "the territory of Great Xia."

Later, the Southern Xiongnu even defected to the Seven Western Kingdoms and became their vassal.

Naturally, the promise to meet Zhurong was never fulfilled.

Qin Yun pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Most things in the world are unpredictable. Even I cannot control everything."

This is not an explanation, but it is also an explanation. What it means is that I didn’t mean to break the contract. It’s all this world’s fault!

Zhu Rong did not dwell on this point. Given Qin Yun's status, it was already a great honor for him to be able to give her such an explanation.

She said nothing more, and strode away with her long, slender legs.

At some point, Elder Feng came to his side and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Zhu is resentful..."

"Of course I know." Qin Yun smiled bitterly, "But what can I do? She and I are just the ruler and the subject."
