With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

At this moment, seawater was pouring back into the city from Haixia Pass.

Although the water level was not high and only submerged people's ankles, it was still annoying enough.

The originally bustling crowds on the streets became sparse.

People walked on tiptoe carefully, for fear of getting their shoes and socks wet.

Shouts and complaints came one after another.

The next morning, the King of Java was still sleeping soundly in the arms of his new concubine.

I dreamed that I turned into a majestic lion.

He was leading a group of lions to hunt a fat buffalo.

Just when he was about to succeed, he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

The knocking on the door was so urgent and frequent that it made him feel upset.

The King of Java roared impatiently:

"Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Don't you know I'm sleeping?"

The guard's anxious voice came from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The dam at Haixia Pass has collapsed!"

"what?!"

When the King of Java heard this, he jumped out of bed in fright.

He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and rushed out barefoot.

"Dam collapse? Who did it? Who has the guts to blow up my dam?"

He growled as he grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on.

The clothes were worn crookedly and the buttons were not buttoned properly, revealing his round belly.

He grabbed the collar of the eunuch who came to report and cursed:

"You useless thing! Why should I keep you?"

"The dam has broken, and you're just now reporting it! I'm going to chop off your head!"

He picked up the eunuch from the ground and threw him to the ground again.

This was repeated several times until the eunuch's face was bruised and swollen and he cried for his parents.

The King of Java, still not satisfied, began to curse the eunuch's ancestors.

He cursed Pangu from the moment he created the world to all future generations, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

"Pass on my order and immediately send Duke Wu of Jin Xuanming to Haixia Pass to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"The murderer must be apprehended and brought to justice. No mistakes can be made!"

"twitter!"

The eunuch was as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed to express his gratitude and crawled out.

He was afraid that if he was a step late he would anger the king and bring about his own death.

The king sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, his face ashen.

I was anxious because Haixia Pass was an important pass in Java. If the dam collapsed, the consequences would be disastrous.

The truth must be found out as soon as possible and the murderer must be brought to justice in order to quell this turmoil and stabilize the people's hearts.

When Jin Xuanming received the imperial edict, he was stunned and his mouth was open so wide that a goose egg could fit in it.

"What? The dam was blown up? Who's so bold as to dare to touch the Tai Sui?"

As he muttered, he imagined a shocking explosion:

Thick smoke billowed, flames shot up into the sky, and the dam was blown to pieces like tofu dregs.

The sea roared into the city, submerging countless houses and fertile fields...

"Oh my God! How much money will this cost?"

Jin Xuanming felt so heartbroken that he felt like his heart was bleeding.

He grabbed the helmet and rushed out in a hurry without even bothering to put on his clothes.

He ran and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Come! Prepare the horses! Quick! Immediately! This general wants to go to Haixia Pass in person to take a look!"

He looked so flustered, as if his butt was on fire.

But Jin Xuanming is not a simple person.

He came from a family of military generals and showed extraordinary military talent from an early age.

At the age of eighteen, he followed his father to the battlefield and made great military achievements.

It is said that he was so strong that he could lift a cow with one hand.

It can even bite through chains with its teeth. It is simply a ferocious beast in human form.

What’s even more terrifying is that he is not only skilled in martial arts, but also well versed in military tactics.

Fighting a war is like playing chess, you need to plan your strategy carefully and win the battle from thousands of miles away.

At this moment, he was riding a tall horse and rushed to Haixia Pass at lightning speed.

He dismounted and strode into the city gate, a fishy smell of sea water hitting his face.

He couldn't help but frown.

"What the hell is that smell? It smells like dead fish and rotten shrimp!"

The generals in charge of guarding Haixia Pass were already scared out of their wits.

He immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Please spare my life, Duke Wu! I deserve to die!"

Jin Xuanming glanced at him and snorted coldly:

"Tell me! What's going on?"

"Reporting to Duke Wu, last night, I heard a loud noise, louder than thunder, and then the dam collapsed..."

The general reported tremblingly, his voice as soft as a mosquito.

When Jin Xuanming heard this explanation, he felt a rush of blood to his head.

Thousands of tortures of hanging and beating this general flashed through my mind.

"You...you...you actually dared to tell this general that the dam was struck by lightning? Do you think this general is a three-year-old child?!"

He grabbed the general by the collar and roared:

"You're not going to tell me that the dam was destroyed by thunder from the sky?!"

"If you dare to say yes, believe it or not, this general will chop you down right now!"

The general was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips trembled.

Cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall, and I felt a little wet in my crotch.

He shook his head quickly, like a rattle, and explained incoherently:

"I dare not! I dare not! Lord Wu, spare my life! I thought..."

"I think... this might be man-made! Maybe it was Lu Yan who did it!"

"Only Shannan Prefecture has explosive weapons..."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Jin Xuanming.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Those ragtag people in Shannan Prefecture have been beaten to a pulp by us and Beixiang Kingdom these days. They're crying and screaming for their parents. How could they have the energy to cause trouble?"

"They probably can't even get a hot meal right now, so how could they have the time to blow up the dike?! I even sent someone to investigate, and they found no navy in Shannan Prefecture! They can't possibly create a navy out of thin air!"

"It's obviously because of you losers who failed to maintain the dam properly and neglected your duties that the dam collapsed! You good-for-nothings, all you do is eat and drink! What's the point of keeping you around?"

Jin Xuanming became more and more excited as he spoke, and his saliva sprayed all over the general's face.

The general's face was full of grievances, feeling even more wronged than Dou E, and he cried out in defense:

"Duke Wu, even if Shannan Prefecture doesn't have a navy, they must have ships!"

"I suspect they sneaked in at night and secretly blew up the dam..."

"You mean they sailed a hundred miles upstream and arrived at Haixia Pass silently?"

"And then they blew up the dam without anyone noticing, and got away with it, right?"

Jin Xuanming laughed in anger, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Doesn't that just prove that you're not doing your job properly? You're a bunch of good-for-nothings! Good-for-nothings! What's the point of this general keeping you around? You'd be worse off than keeping a bunch of pigs!"

"Sir, the spies from Shannan Prefecture are omnipresent. They are all elite, known as special forces. They most likely sneaked in under cover of darkness. That's why..."
