The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4340: First Encounter

Qin Rui's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it quickly returned to normal, Qin Yun still caught the displeasure at that moment.

He looked at Elder Feng below calmly, and said calmly: "Although Emperor Qin has extraordinary talent, he is brave but not wise. When he is impulsive, he still needs Elder Feng to suppress him."

Elder Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty has entrusted Emperor Qin to me to train, I will definitely teach him everything I know without reservation and will definitely make Emperor Qin a fierce general, unrivaled in the world!"

Although General Feng praised Emperor Qin to the skies, Emperor Qin remained calm and composed. He lowered his head and looked at Qin Yun and spoke calmly.

"Thank you, father, for your training. I will be careful and cautious when I follow Master Feng to fight, and will humbly seek advice. Your Majesty, you will face even stronger enemies when you go out to fight, and I am worried about you day and night. Please take care of your health." Whether it was just polite talk or came from the heart, Emperor Qin's words were soothing to hear.

Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction. He was quite sure of this prince. No wonder Elder Feng loved him so much. "Okay! I will pay attention to it. You should also be more careful."

After that, since Elder Feng had already spoken, it would definitely be Long Xiao's turn next.

Today's audience was on the one hand to discuss the war, and on the other hand to check the performance of the two princes. However, Elder Feng's status was higher than Long Xiao's, and the weight of his words was completely different.

When everyone's eyes fell on him, Long Xiao coughed lightly, and after some psychological preparation, he went to the hall.

He bowed his head, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, although the emperor is a little weak in cultivation, he has learned unparalleled military tactics. I did not interfere in this battle at all, and the same goes for He Ya. The Qinglong Xuanwu Army is completely commanded by the prince. Even though its strength is inferior to that of the Qintian Division, the advancement of the battle line has never fallen behind." As he spoke, Long Xiao looked at He Ya and nodded, and the latter immediately understood.

He Ya stepped forward and said bluntly: "The prince is as good as your majesty was in the past. He leads the troops in a roundabout way, arranges the troops, and can attack or defend. He considers everything carefully. Even though he is commanding from behind the soldiers, he is able to grasp the detailed information on the battlefield, which boosts the morale of the soldiers and makes everyone as powerful as a dragon!"

The appreciation expressed in Long Xiao and He Ya's speeches was no less than that of Old Feng.

Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction as well. He did not treat the two differently. He said in a deep voice, "Although Qin Rui is familiar with the Art of War, he has not made any progress in his own strength. The accumulation of practical experience is particularly important to him. In terms of actual combat, I am afraid no one can compare with the Fourth Army. Long Xiao and He Ya, you have to worry more."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

As Long Xiao and He Ya led the troops, the secret fight between the two princes came to an end. As Qin Yun's attitude was relatively neutral, the two were confused, especially Elder Feng and the two generals, who were very careful in their words and praised the princes to the sky as much as possible, but they failed to gain His Majesty's approval. Instead, His Majesty pointed out the flaws of the two and gave them more consideration in the future.

The advancement of the battle line was coordinated by Gu Chuntang, who sent out chief officers to emphasize and flexibly change the rules in order to keep the officials of Daxia psychologically balanced.

After the others had dispersed, Xiao Yuxiang, who had been hiding in the back of the palace, slowly walked over. Facing Qin Yun's attitude, she was puzzled: "Your Majesty, you didn't say a word of praise. Will this weaken the morale of the two princes?"

Qin Yun waved his hand and denied it: "No, how can you talk about morale now? Why should I praise you two just because you rely on the soldiers' determination to break through the enemy lines and conquer a few small sects? When you can stand on your own without relying on the soldiers of Daxia, you can say these empty words."

Xiao Yuxiang approached Qin Yun carefully and said softly, "Your Majesty, who is better in this battle, Qin Rui or Qin Di?" Hearing this, Qin Yun glanced at her and said mysteriously, "Do you really want to know?"

Xiao Yuxiang nodded rapidly, and threw herself into Qin Yun's arms in the hall, speaking softly and charmingly, "Just tell me. If you can't tell others, then how can you tell me too?"

Qin Yun chuckled, "I am not partial, but Qin Rui is obviously better, because I want a talented person to lead the Great Xia Empire. Great Xia has never lacked brave but unwise generals, and there are countless strong men, and there are many people with extraordinary talents. However, I am also optimistic about Emperor Qin. Judging from his progress, it is only a matter of time before he learns strategies."

Xiao Yuxiang always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

She felt that Qin Yun said only what she wanted to hear, and that it was not the truth at all, and he was just trying to fool her.

However, as the Queen of Great Xia, Xiao Yuxiang would not be so ignorant as to continue to ask questions, but instead showed concern for the war on the front line: "Your Majesty, when do you plan to conquer the extremely cold zone again?" Qin Yun looked at the splendor of the Great Xia Empire outside the palace and replied in a deep voice: "I don't have this idea for the time being."

"Ah?" Xiao Yuxiang was surprised: "This is unlike your Majesty's character. After testing the opponent's strength, your Majesty always leads the troops to fight. No matter how powerful the opponent is, your Majesty has never thought of retreating."

Qin Yun shook his head: "This is not retreating. In order to protect the Cliff Palace, I made a bold statement to provoke the three major sects in the extreme cold zone. If Ding Yi really passes the message back, it won't take long before the extreme cold zone will take the initiative to attack. Without the environmental restrictions, the soldiers can also exert their full strength."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuxiang nodded thoughtfully and had a new insight into Qin Yun's research. However, she did not participate in the war and could not offer any opinions.

After Xiao Yuxiang left, Qin Yun stood up and headed towards the imperial kitchen.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Shuanglu has been immersed in cracking the encryption of the Wanshen Yeming Pearl. Liu Suhan also joined in, but he has been making things worse and slowing down Shuanglu's progress.

If the three major sects in the extreme cold zone send troops to invade, it will not be enough for Qin Yun to simply steadily improve his strength. He urgently needs a new opportunity or chance to supplement his strength to fight against the invaders.

At the same time, in the imperial kitchen, Shuanglu did not notice Qin Yun's approach. With sweat on her forehead, she held the Wanshen Night Pearl in her hand and meditated with her eyes slightly closed. Liu Suhan beside her did not dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Shuanglu.

Seeing Qin Yun appear, Liu Suhan hurriedly made a 'hush' gesture: "Your Majesty, Senior Sister Shuanglu is trying to crack the encryption on the Ten Thousand Gods Night Pearl, don't disturb her."

Qin Yun ignored her and looked at Shuanglu, who was in pain. After several attempts, she had no other choice but to use her own bloodline of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect to break the encryption with energy, which made Qin Yun feel helpless.

"That's enough." Qin Yun interrupted and said in a deep voice: "Now your cultivation is greatly damaged. If you can break the encryption set by the master of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, then what's the point of having the Ten Thousand Gods Night Pearl? There's no need to struggle fearlessly."
