The First Tyrant of Daxia

Fengluan Hall.

Empress Xiao sat in the main seat, her eyes looking extremely lonely.

"Why didn't His Majesty come back with us?"

She thought Qin Yun had returned, and ran out excitedly to greet him.

As a result, the ones who came back were Murong Shunhua and other girls, and even a few unfamiliar Western girls. They were all extremely beautiful and it was obvious that they were Qin Yun's favorite girls.

But none of this matters. What matters is that Qin Yun, the person she wanted to see the most, did not come back with her.

Empress Xiao asked with a hint of expectation on her face: "Your Majesty will return to Kyoto soon?"

But Murong Shunhua shook her head gently, which made her feel a little helpless.

"Why is that? Where is His Majesty? Why didn't he return to Kyoto with you?" Empress Xiao asked anxiously.

Murong Shunhua looked around, her eyes flickering slightly.

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment, then she dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall.

After seeing that there were no outsiders around, Murong Shunhua said, "It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to return to the capital, but because he has urgent war matters to deal with right now."

"War?" Empress Xiao was startled and subconsciously shouted, "Is it the battlefield in southern Xinjiang?"

Murong Shunhua nodded slightly.

"It shouldn't be!"

Empress Xiao's face was full of doubts. "My brother, General Xiao Jian, has already led a large army to fight in the southern border battlefield. General He Ya and others have also joined them on the way, and they have joined forces with a million strong troops."

"With such a huge number of troops, the White Armor Army is nothing. There have been frequent reports of victory before. Why does Your Majesty still need to go to the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang?"

Murong Shunhua sighed and told Xiao Yuxiang everything about the snake monster.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuxiang's face was filled with horror, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Snake-man monster? What kind of horrible thing is that?"

Murong Shunhua shook her head: "I haven't seen it either, but the Queen's brother is currently trapped in the White Mist Valley by snake monsters. The messenger is General Xiao Jian's personal soldier, and his name seems to be Wang Heiniu. I wonder if the Queen has any impression of him?"

"Wang Heiniu?"

Xiao Yuxiang's face changed: "That's right, my brother once asked him to send me something, and I also know his name. He is my brother's personal soldier."

"That's right."

Murong Shunhua sighed and said, "General Xiao is trapped in the valley and is in imminent danger. Your Majesty has to give up the plan to return to Kyoto and lead the army to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang to rescue General Xiao Jian."

"So that's it..."

Xiao Yuxiang slumped in the chair helplessly.

She was worried about Qin Yun before, and now she was worried about Xiao Jian.

"Those snake-man monsters are so terrifying. Are the troops Your Majesty brings enough?" A look of worry flashed in Xiao Yuxiang's eyes.

Murong Shunhua took out a letter and said, "This is a letter from His Majesty to you, the Queen. Take a look first."

"For me?"

Xiao Yuxiang immediately happily took the envelope handed over by Murong Shunhua.

After a while, Xiao Yuxiang's eyes were red as she looked at the envelope, and tears dripped onto the envelope.

Xiao Yuxiang put the envelope against her chest and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you have been thinking about me in the West, and so have I."

Then, her eyes became firm: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to fulfill the tasks you have entrusted to me!"

Soon, an imperial edict was spread out from Fengluan Palace, and soon, officials from all over the capital city received the edict.

in the hall.

All the officials headed by Gu Chuntang stood in the hall, and everyone had a different expression on their face.

Soon, the imperial carriage headed by Qin Rui arrived in the hall, followed by Xiao Yuxiang and Murong Shunhua.

"I've met the prince!"

All the officials saluted at this moment.

Qin Rui nodded slightly. Although he was only ten years old, Gu Chuntang had already taught him the proper etiquette and manners.

Qin Rui sat on the stool in front of the dragon throne, while Xiao Yuxiang and Murong Shunhua sat on both sides.

All the officials noticed something was wrong at this moment.

Murong Shunhua is back.

But Qin Yun did not come back.

Thinking of the order just now, their expressions became even weirder.

Xiao Yuxiang looked at the officials present, and then said in a deep voice: "I believe you have all received the news that His Majesty will be returning to the capital soon, right?"

The officials in the hall nodded one after another.

But what puzzled them was why Qin Yun didn't come back with them?

Xiao Yuxiang continued, "I believe everyone is very confused now, why did His Majesty return to Kyoto?"

Zhao Heng stepped forward and asked, "Everyone is waiting for His Majesty to return, but why hasn't His Majesty come back yet?"

Many officials also echoed this. They were also a little curious. Could there be anything more important than Qin Yun returning to Kyoto to take charge of the situation?

Xiao Yuxiang glanced at Murong Shunhua, who nodded slightly and then said, "It's like this. Your Majesty originally planned to take a large ship in Tianshui City and go north along the canal, but after arriving here, he found some problems."

Guo Ziyun asked in a deep voice: "Empress Murong, what happened? Why did His Majesty give up the layout of the capital?"

Murong Shunhua sighed and said, "There is a problem on the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang."

Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken.

Guo Ziyun even said: "Isn't there General Xiao Jian leading an army of 500,000 soldiers to fight the enemy in the southern border battlefield? And General He Ya and his men will bring 600,000 soldiers to support them later."

"With so many troops, can't we defeat those white-armored soldiers?"

Xiao Yuxiang said: "This is exactly what we want to talk about!"

Afterwards, she slowly told the story of the snake monster in the hall.

As she continued to speak, everyone's expressions kept changing.

When they heard that the snake monster's army of 500,000 strong defeated Xiao Jian and others, everyone's face showed a look of horror and fear.

The team led by Xiao Jian is the most elite team of the Great Xia Empire, and He Ya and his army are also the elite teams of the Great Xia Empire. The two together have a force of more than one million.

However, even such a large and extremely elite army did not destroy the White Armor Army as they had imagined.

Instead, they lost to the suddenly appearing snake-man army.

Are those snake-man monsters really that scary?

Or are there other reasons?

Guo Ziyun said with an unpleasant expression: "There are actually monsters like snake people in this world? Is this still the world I understood before?"

Many officials also had faces filled with fear. If such a terrifying monster came to Kyoto, how would they resist?
