Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Yuanri's pupils trembled slightly, Shangli couldn't move...

Over the years, the master had completely forgotten about the young lady and never mentioned her after returning to the country. Emperor Qi Zhao just watched silently without any sense of crisis. He couldn't understand this at all.

"...Master, although Shangli has not helped us over the years, he has never stopped us either, and we have never had any deep hatred for him in recent years..."

Yuanri spoke carefully, but before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Emperor Xihui, who was supporting his chin with one hand and looking at him with amusement.

His heartbeat slowed down for a beat, and he quickly stopped talking, "I'm sorry for talking too much."

Emperor Xihui smiled coldly, "Yuanri, you've been with me the longest. You should remember how the people of Shangli treated me back then, right?"

"And how did the Shangli soldiers massacre our people several years ago?"

Emperor Xi Hui's tone suddenly turned cold. Every time he talked about Shangli, his closest confidant would get a little excited. Could it be that they had lived there for so long that they had developed feelings for it?

ridiculous! !

Yuanri was speechless. If it weren't for the young lady's secret care and concern during those years, the master would have suffered even more. I'm afraid he would have sent troops to Shangli as soon as the three states surrendered.

Shangli Kingdom is the young lady's hometown, where there are Feng Linshang who raised her and Kang Jiuyi who is as close as a sister to her. Although Emperor Qi Zhao had some bad intentions, he finally let him return home safely.

What’s more, what’s more…

"Master, Emperor Qizhao of Shangli has been on the throne for nearly twenty years and is not a tyrant. If you want to send troops to Shangli, you need to make long-term plans."

He spoke earnestly, trying to delay the matter as long as possible. He really didn't want his master to be ashamed to face the young lady a hundred years later.

"Haha, on New Year's Day, I will select 500 personal soldiers and go to meet Dong Yenian, the governor of Qingzhou, tomorrow." Emperor Xihui suddenly changed the subject and lowered his eyes to look at the memorial in his hand.

Yuanri had no choice but to bow and leave.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Chu Guoxi has sent troops to attack Qingzhou."

Emperor Qi Zhao of Shangli Kingdom sat on the high dragon throne, supporting his forehead with his fingertips and listening to the anxious concerns of his ministers below with his eyes closed.

In recent years, Emperor Xihui has always focused on the Five States, also because the Five States are close to the State of Chu. Although the Qing and Gan States are far away, they are close to Luozhou.

Once a gap is opened among the five states, the other states will inevitably unite to resist the enemy. The former Prince Mu Jiu did not disappoint.

It took only two years to settle the different voices within the Chu Kingdom, and another five years to take the three states into his possession. It is highly likely that within two years, the remaining two states will not be able to remain unaffected.

"The garrison generals of the East and West camps are here to see you. Prince Rongxuan is here to see you."

Emperor Qi Zhao sat up straight, said a few simple words and ordered the court to be adjourned.

The ministers in the audience looked at each other in confusion. What did this mean?

Your Majesty has already made a decision? Then why not issue an order from the court?

Dong Ye, the governor of Qingzhou, was over thirty years old and had a very high spirit. He panicked for a moment when he learned that Chu Guoxi had returned to the emperor and was leading the army in person.

"Don't panic, don't panic. We still have Ganzhou. As long as we can hold on, Shangli Country said they will support us."

He silently comforted himself. Qingzhou was not a small area, but the people were relatively concentrated and lived in the cities and counties on the south side. The north side was a bitter and cold swamp. On the other side of the swamp were continuous mountains, and on the other side of the mountains was Shangli Kingdom.

If Shangli sends troops to support, they will have to go around the mountains, which will take some time.

But when he saw the governor of Ganzhou, Wan Qiqi, following behind Emperor Xi Hui, he felt disappointed.

Emperor Xihui was young and promising. Although he had been a hostage, it did not prevent him from standing in the highest position in the State of Chu. However, his harem had always been empty.

Wan Qiqi, the governor of Ganzhou, was a woman. When Mu Lanxun proclaimed himself emperor, she privately recommended herself to his harem. At that time, she was only eighteen years old, but she had been the governor for three years.

Being brave, resourceful and having status would be a great help to Emperor Xihui who had just established his foothold in the country, but he rejected it without hesitation.

Blurt out that you don't like small ones.

Wan Qiqi was not discouraged at all. He made three promises to him. He said that he could help him "recover" the five states, but the condition was that after Chu State became on par with Li State, he would become his first concubine.

Mu Lanxun sneered disdainfully at the time, "No one can stop me from doing what I want to do, and no one can force me to do what I don't want to do."

The implication is: Just go back to where you came from.

For a long time, the Five States were like a piece of chicken ribs, and received no attention from other countries. Mu Lanxun was the first person to set his sights on them.

That big basin of loose sand is difficult to handle, but fortunately I don’t have any advantages, just a lot of patience.

The five states are independent of each other, and conflicts have been going on for years at the borders between states. Fufeng State is unable to manage it, and Shangli is far away. Feiyun State has never liked these fighting and killings. So the only one left is Chu State.

Now, three of the five states have been defeated and completely surrendered. Seeing this, Wanqiqi of Ganzhou surrendered on the way to Emperor Xihui when he was sending troops to Qingzhou.

This man is becoming more and more interesting. Every aspect of him really suits my taste.

Wan Qiqi's eyes, which were following behind Xi Huidi, almost turned into stars, and Dong Yenian's eyes twitched from time to time.

This little girl is lying to me?

Emperor Xihui was not a fool. He had originally just wanted to come and explore today, but he did not expect that one state would surrender halfway, leaving the other state completely isolated.

Wan Qiqi's eyes were smiling with affection, but he frowned. This woman hasn't given up yet!

However, considering that she has made a contribution, I will not bother with her.

In the sixth year of Xihui, all five states were taken over by the State of Chu, and the three-way balance of power was broken.

The King of Feiyun finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

Emperor Shangli Qizhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. The boy from that year has really grown into a fierce tiger!

Will he come to Shangli? Will he come to destroy Liyou's homeland?
