Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

After a moment of silence, Duan Jiufeng dropped his first bombshell.

"Four days ago, the Divine Sword Azure Rainbow captured the border generals of Qi and Wei. General Li took the opportunity to defeat the soldiers of both countries and annihilate 10 enemy troops. The next day, the emperor of Qi sent a letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to submit to our country."

A few days ago, during the morning court session, I did see a letter delivered by the Divine Sword. Could it be the surrender letter from the Emperor of Qi?

The officials turned their heads, exchanging glances, and all saw unbelievable surprise in each other's eyes.

So this long-standing problem has been solved just like that?

This feels like a dream.

If the situation allowed, I really wanted to slap the person next to me to see if this was really true.

"I thought it would take at least half a year to unify the world, but I never expected that the Empress would devise a plan, and the Qi Kingdom would surrender in just one morning. Not only that, in the past few days, the rulers of the six kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Le, Shang, Min, and Gao have all presented letters of surrender, willing to submit to our country. From this day forward, this world belongs to my Holy Kingdom, and these people belong to my Holy Kingdom. I have finally completed the unification of the world."

What?

The six kingdoms surrendered, and the world was unified?

Was the emperor struck by lightning and went mad, or were they hallucinating in a dream? It seems they really need a good slap to wake them up.

How incredible!

Unifying the world in just a few days? Even folk artists wouldn't dare write something like that.

"Our Emperor, in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven, has unified the world. This is a blessing for the Great Sage and for all the people." This voice was quite abrupt, and coupled with the surrounding silence, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Forgetting all etiquette, everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. The speaker was none other than Lord Zhang, known for his integrity.

Seeing everyone looking this way, Lord Zhang held his head high and stood ramrod straight. "What I'm saying is the truth. See for yourselves. I'll admit defeat if I change a single word."

Looking at Lord Zhang's upright face, everyone instantly found it impossible to look directly at the word "upright."

His son only wrote a poem alluding to the imperial court, yet he gained favor. He usually keeps a low profile, but at crucial moments, his flattery is absolutely brilliant! He has all the advantages—timing, location, and people—he knows how to pick his moments perfectly.

You old scoundrel, you bootlicker!

Duan Jiufeng took out the surrender letters from the six kingdoms, and Xiao Li took them and read them aloud one by one.

Listening to the surrender documents from various countries, everyone finally recovered from the shock time and time again.

"For many years, the states of Qi and Wei have been eyeing our borders covetously, and have even invaded our territory, burning, killing, and looting. It's really hard to just let them go like this!" A young minister lowered his voice and voiced the sentiments of everyone.

"If they surrender to our country, they'll be at our mercy."

"Make them my slaves, wash my feet, and cook for me."

"You'd dare eat food if you washed your feet before cooking!"

"Then let's cook first, then wash your feet, and finally warm the bed."

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, everyone secretly laughed. Although their knees were still on the ground, it did not affect their relaxed mood.

"Didn't His Majesty say that all the people under heaven are citizens of the Holy Kingdom?"

The minister beside him glanced at him dismissively. "You haven't been in court for two years, have you? There are some things you need to think about slowly. Being an official isn't like studying, it's not obvious." He then patted the man on the shoulder, leaving him completely bewildered.

After Emperor Xiao Li finished reading the surrender document, the ministers couldn't wait to shout slogans.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The world is unified! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!" Although they were happy about the unification of the world, their knees would be even happier if they stood up.

The emperor is usually very understanding and wouldn't make them kneel for too long. But today, the emperor seemed to be possessed and refused to let them get up.

It’s just off the mark!

Whether the Emperor heard their voices or not, he finally allowed them to rise this time.

"My beloved subjects, rise." The crowd pushed themselves up from the ground, slowly getting to their feet. Beneath their robes, they gently moved their legs to ease the discomfort in their knees.

In public, they wouldn't act like ordinary people, stretching out their hands and sticking out their buttocks to rub their knees.

That's so damaging to her image!

If you're going to massage, do it at home.

After the sacrificial ceremony ended, even more people followed behind. They were far away and only saw the extraordinary phenomena that occurred on the day of the ceremony, followed by the emperor's announcement of the unification of the country.

There was neither recruitment of soldiers nor increase in taxes. How did the country suddenly become unified?

It's incredible.

Nevertheless, the Emperor and Empress still received unprecedented adoration from the people.

Back in the city, the news spread like wildfire. Soon everyone knew that the current emperor had unified the land and become the true ruler. The people would no longer suffer the ravages of war, and the celebrations were even more lively than the Spring Festival.

Duan Jiufeng's good mood didn't last long; he had just returned to the palace when he received an urgent message from the border.

The alliance of Qi, Wei, and Shang has amassed an army of 30, preparing to wage war against the Holy Kingdom. King Qi has been killed, King Wei imprisoned, and the two nations have quietly changed masters.

Duan Jiufeng took the letter and went to the Empress's residence. How ungrateful! This time, we must teach them a lesson.

After reading the letter, Qin Baobao was silent for a moment. "What do you think we should do?"

"Make an example of them, otherwise they'll do it again next time."

"Or should we give them another chance? After all, it involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. I'll make the trip myself, and if they remain obstinate, it won't be too late to kill them then."

In the previous world, killing vampires was acceptable, but in this world… those were living, breathing human lives. Qin Baobao's upbringing forbade her from killing indiscriminately.

Duan Jiufeng sighed. He knew it; his seemingly cold sister was actually the most soft-hearted. But they might not appreciate it; human nature is inherently greedy.

"Sister, you don't need to go. Just tell Qinghong about this. Minister Du is also at the border. He has worked with Qinghong before, so I believe he knows what to do."

Qin Baobao summoned Qinghong and gave her some instructions. Qinghong then flew into the sky and went to the border.

At the border, Du Weijian was following General Li in troop deployment and strategy. With practical experience, he became even more proficient in battlefield tactics. General Li generously shared his knowledge, and Du Weijian learned a great deal. He believed that surpassing General Li in the near future was not impossible.

General Li and several deputies discussed various countermeasures. Everyone's expression was very serious; this was a tough battle, and one that was almost impossible to win.

Du Weijian frowned, deeply troubled. The enemy had clearly come prepared. They claimed to be unifying the world, but without Qinghong, they wouldn't even be able to win this battle.

That damned God is really making things difficult for us!

"The enemy outnumbers us. If only Qinghong were here." Du Weijian sighed and touched the small note in his pocket.

That was a letter Shenjian wrote to him before he left. Du Weijian valued it highly and would look at it every night. He planned to frame the note and keep it as a family heirloom, and also write a short biography for Shenjian.
