The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

After Ji Wuxin's meeting in the Imperial Study concluded, the four ministers left the palace with solemn expressions.

Before long, several hawks carrying messages flew out from all corners of the capital city of Dajing!

……

Southwest of Dajing.

Shouchun City.

After reading the message sent by the hawk in his hand, Chow Yun-fat's face turned very ugly.

Clearly, the contents of the letter infuriated him.

Ji Wuxin summoned the Left Chancellor, the Right Chancellor, General Zhang, and Minister Wang. All of these guys had problems with their positions. Only General Zhang Liao had some ability!

However, Zhou Runfa also knew that Zhang Liao did not have much say in the court.

The reason for having him participate in the discussions was simply to have a military general present.

With only those three people left, who usually only know how to fight for power and profit, what can they possibly come up with?

In the end, it's bound to be the same old story of seeking peace through talks and tribute!

Just as Chow Yun-fat was feeling annoyed, two figures dressed in armor walked in.

The two, one fat and one thin, were Zhou Dapeng and Zhou Junru.

As soon as Zhou Junru walked in, she asked:

"Father, 500,000 barbarian cavalry have marched south. What is the court's plan? Is there any news? What countermeasures are in place?"

Hearing his daughter ask this question, Chow Yun-fat immediately became angry: "Hmph! What countermeasures could those idiots in the imperial court possibly have? They just want us to lead the Iron Forest Army north to help defend the Cliff City."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Junru was stunned: "That's it?"

Chow Yun-fat shook his head: "That's all."

Zhou Junru: "What kind of joke is this? Although the Iron Forest Army is elite, even when combined with the garrison of the Cliff City, it doesn't even number 100,000. Is it possible to stop the Kushan Empire's 500,000 elite barbarian cavalry?"

Zhou Dapeng also said, "Father, the imperial court, including Ming Heying's troops, should still have at least 600,000 men, right? Why are they only sending our Iron Forest Army?"

Hearing Zhou Dapeng's words, Zhou Runfa sneered, then shook his head and said, "Six hundred thousand? Can His Majesty command the three hundred thousand of Mingheying? And the other three hundred thousand, His Majesty dares not touch. If he really touches them, I'm afraid the Great Xia will be in complete chaos!"

There were some deeper reasons that Chow Yun-fat did not tell his children. He looked at Chow Chun-ju and asked, "How is the excavation of Dujiangyan and its supporting waterways progressing?"

"It's going smoothly, thanks to Lord Bao Longxing's command," Zhou Junru said.

Chow Yun-fat nodded and then said, "Very good, then go and make preparations. Gather 50,000 troops and prepare to go to Juebi City to meet up with Jia Tisi and the others."

"By the way, once the battle really starts, as long as we rely on Cliff City to hold off the Kushan Empire's barbarian cavalry as much as possible, we don't need to really fight to the death. This time, the battlefield isn't actually on the battlefield, or in Cliff City, but in the imperial court!"

"What?" Zhang Dapeng was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Junru, who was standing nearby, seemed to understand and nodded, saying, "Father, I understand! Let's go and prepare!"

……

Cliffside City.

A woman dressed in a long, purple, form-fitting robe, carrying a long sword, with a graceful figure and curvaceous curves, was walking slowly down the streets of Cliff City.

The woman's face was aloof and stunningly beautiful, devoid of any emotion. She was none other than Liu Ruyan, the most talented woman in the world, who had met Jia Daoshi several times before!

At the same time, a carriage with rolling wheels sped past Liu Ruyan!

The winds of the Northwest lifted the curtains of the carriage, revealing a face that was both dashing and breathtakingly beautiful!

Liu Ruyan's gaze met the gaze of the beautiful woman inside the carriage!

But the time they spend meeting is extremely short, just a blink of an eye!

Then, the carriage continued forward, leaving Yuan Jin'er standing in the wind, her beautiful eyes fixed on the departing carriage, lost in thought.

……

Inside the carriage!

Mingyue Xin was thinking about the woman in purple she had just seen on the street. After a moment, she turned to a beautiful woman in blue sitting next to her and asked, "Sister Yu, did you see that woman just now?"

Yu Feihong nodded: "I saw it."

That's right, this middle-aged beauty is named Yu Feihong!

If Jia Daoshi were here, he would definitely think that Yu Feihong had also traveled through time!

They look exactly alike!

Her beauty is not aggressive at all; she has a particularly elegant demeanor!

Mingyue Xin looked suspicious: "If I'm not mistaken, that woman should be Liu Ruyan, the most talented woman in the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"But why is Liu Ruyan here, and why is she carrying a sword?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feihong smiled and said, "Yuexin, if you think that the number one talented woman of Dajing is merely the number one talented woman of Dajing, then you are sorely mistaken!"

"This Liu Ruyan is not only the most talented woman in the world, but also the commander of the secret guards by the current empress's side. Using her reputation as a talented woman, she travels the world to carry out secret missions and gather intelligence for the current empress. In addition, she is a core disciple of Liushu Tianque!"

Mingyue Xin suddenly realized: "No wonder, I sensed a faint aura emanating from her, very subtle. This Liu Ruyan must be at least a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm, right?"

"Sister Yu, you said she came here on the Empress's orders?"

After hearing Mingyue Xin's words, Yu Feihong did not answer immediately; in fact, she was also quite puzzled.

After a moment's thought, Yu Feihong said, "Perhaps the Empress sent her to Juebi City to gather intelligence. After all, the Kushan Empire's 500,000 barbarian cavalry is no small number. Look, we're here too."

Upon hearing this, Mingyuexin nodded.

Originally, she didn't want to come to Cliff City.

But after hearing that Jia Daoshi had already arrived at Juebi City, she couldn't help herself.

Since Jia Daoshi returned from his voyage, the entire martial arts world has suspected that he obtained enormous benefits from the Martial God Temple!

However, there is no evidence.

This is something that all the major powers that have been there have doubted.

However, the attention was diverted by the Green Turban Army incident, and the popularity of the Temple of Martial Gods gradually declined.

The southward march of 500,000 barbarian cavalry from the Kushan Empire further diverted attention from Jia Daoshi.

However, some people still focused their attention on Jia Daoshi.

Among them was Ming Heying, the Grand General of the Great Jing Dynasty!

Therefore, Mingyue Xin's purpose in coming to Juebi City this time is twofold: first, to investigate military intelligence, and second, to get close to Jia Daoshi, capture Jia Daoshi, and obtain the secrets he possesses!

Mingyue Xin originally thought that this mission would not be too difficult, but she did not expect to encounter the Empress's people as soon as she entered the city.

Looking at it this way, the situation in Cliff City will become increasingly complicated, and her plan may not go as smoothly as she thought!

Although we don't know Liu Ruyan's real purpose for coming here, since this woman is here, she definitely didn't come here to have fun!
