The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun walked over in three or two steps.

The messenger heard Qin Yun's voice and slowly opened his dazed eyes.

"His Majesty!"

The messenger had an oriental face and came from the Great Xia Empire. When he saw Qin Yun, he immediately looked relieved.

"Finally... I see you... Your Majesty..."

Qin Yun asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The messenger stretched out his hand tremblingly, took out a blood-stained cloth bag from his clothes, and then peeled off the layers, revealing the envelope inside.

"The letter is not damaged..." The messenger smiled and handed the envelope to Qin Yun.

"Your Majesty, I have accomplished my mission."

After saying this, he died.

Qin Yun looked at the dead messenger and opened the envelope in his hand with a heavy heart.

There was not a trace of blood on the envelope and it was very intact. Qin Yun read it word by word.

After reading the contents of the envelope, an angry look suddenly appeared on his face. At this moment, Qin Yun's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone, full of murderous intent.

The military doctor next to him felt Qin Yun's murderous intent. Even though he knew it was not directed at him, he was still trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?" Tohuti hurried into the tent.

Qin Yun gnashed his teeth and said, "An unknown force swept across the entire southern part of Daxia. After occupying many small countries in the South China Sea, it sent a million troops to attack the southern border of Daxia."

"This force is very fierce, with many soldiers and generals and excellent weapons. In less than half a month, it has occupied most of the southern border. The southern border is in a state of emergency and requests assistance from Kyoto."

"Prime Minister Gu Chuntang knew that this matter was of great importance, so he sent someone to bring his envelope to me, asking me to return as soon as possible to take charge of the situation."

"Ah?" Tohti was stunned.

As a superpower, although the Great Xia Empire did not conquer the many small countries in the South China Sea, these small countries basically paid tribute to the Great Xia every year and were basically regarded as vassal states of the Great Xia Empire.

However, no one expected that a mysterious force would suddenly emerge from the South China Sea, invade all the small countries in the South China Sea, and then send troops directly to the southern border of Daxia, threatening the entire southern border.

Qin Yun was very angry. Someone actually dared to attack his Great Xia Empire. He was simply seeking death.

No matter what, he must be killed!

Seeing Qin Yun's expression, Tuohuti quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. This matter is so critical that Your Majesty needs to keep a calm mind and think about it."

Qin Yun nodded slightly. He naturally knew this.

At this time, Qin Yun looked at the dead messenger and frowned, "Gu Chuntang asked him to send the envelope secretly, what does this mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun's expression suddenly changed, as if the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Qin Yun was also a smart man. He understood Gu Chuntang's meaning immediately.

He sent the message secretly, obviously not wanting others to know.

Why don’t you want others to know?

The biggest possibility is that Gu Chuntang discovered that someone in Daxia did not want him to return to the Daxia Empire so soon.

Or maybe there is a traitor. Gu Chuntang doesn't want others to know when Qin Yun will return, so he gives the traitor in the Great Xia Empire a confusing message so that the enemy does not know the exact time of Qin Yun's return.

Was this an attempt to catch them off guard?

Qin Yun took a deep breath. No matter what Gu Chuntang thought, the fact that he chose to do it in secret was enough to show that there was a problem within Da Xia.

The news brought back from the Great Xia Empire previously also contained information about the internal unrest in Great Xia, which was enough to show that the interior of Great Xia was not a monolithic entity.

Qin Yun rubbed his temples, and suddenly felt an extremely oppressive feeling enveloping his heart, as if the sunlight was suddenly blocked by a pile of dark clouds.

He looked at the dead messenger.

He was just a messenger delivering a letter, why did he die?

Unless someone intercepted it.

This made Qin Yun feel that something was wrong.

The military doctor at the side saw Qin Yun's eyes and said quickly: "Your Majesty, before the messenger died, he told me what happened on the road. He should have told you these, but he was afraid that he would not live to see you back, so he asked me to tell you."

"There was only that envelope, and he insisted on handing it to you himself."

Qin Yun said: "Speak."

The military doctor said, "The messenger said that they were originally five people who came out to deliver the letter, but they were ambushed three times on the way. When he arrived here, he was the only one left. Even if he arrived here, he would only have one breath left."

"Three times!" The look in Qin Yun's eyes became more and more ferocious. They had been ambushed three times along the way. Who was so cruel?

Qin Yun asked in a deep voice: "Are these three times the same group of people?"

The military doctor said, "He said that these three groups of people were all masked and dressed in black, and it was impossible to tell who was who. All we know is that they fought fiercely and seemed to be well-trained."

"The first two times, someone volunteered to hold them back, but the last time, no one helped him."

Qin Yun frowned, "Then how did he escape?"

The military doctor said: "From what he said, it seems someone rescued him."

"Who!?" Qin Yun asked hurriedly.

The military doctor thought for a moment and said, "He seemed to say it was a woman wearing a mask. That woman was very skilled and killed more than a dozen men in black who were chasing him."

"A masked woman?!" Qin Yun was shocked, and the woman he met in the woods before immediately appeared in his mind.

Tuohuti also thought of it at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Is that woman wearing a scorpion mask?"

The military doctor said, "Yes! King Tohti is right. It is a woman wearing a scorpion mask!"

Tohuti looked confused and turned to look at Qin Yun. "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

Qin Yun looked more and more confused, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The woman with the scorpion mask has an unknown origin, but her skills are extremely superb, equivalent to a master in the realm of transformation. She is extremely powerful, and only Feng Lao and Chi Yun can surpass her.

Qin Yun once speculated about what kind of power this mysterious masked woman belonged to, but most of the time, he assumed that the masked woman was an enemy.

But no one expected that this masked woman would actually rescue Da Xia's messenger.

The faces of Daxia people are completely different from those of Westerners and are easy to identify. The masked woman definitely did not rescue him for such a low-level reason as saving the wrong person.
