Capítulo 943: Chapter 717: Re-entering the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm (Part 2)

“Decree issued!” The Ye Kingdom Monarch stood up.

“Present!”

“Order the Ye Kingdom’s border army to temporarily halt military operations and withdraw to Qing City!”

The sa goes for Chu Country, temporarily halting military operations and withdrawing to Liao City.

anwhile, in the Central Domain Kaiyuan Country, military operations are temporarily halted, retreating to the ho country.

On the South Sea, Seventh Prince Hong Yun stood on a giant ship, watching the massive fleet of the opposing side disappear into the vast sea, completely bewildered.

“Why retreat?”

Fufeng stepped forward: “I just received a ssage from the north; last night, Marquis Xueyi achieved a great victory at the Northern Country’s border. In one array, the Blood Fire Army legion was annihilated, advancing three hundred miles and recovering thousands of years of lost territory, Dragon City. Kaiyuan Country should also have received this battle report; they are afraid!”

“Haha!” The Seventh Prince laughed heartily, looking up to the sky: “I told you, our neighbor would eventually stir things up. Now the stir has finally co, and it’s quite earth-shattering.”

“Report to the Prince!” soone urgently reported, “Just received military intelligence. The Chu Country to the east and the Ye Kingdom to the west have both withdrawn their troops! This round of warfare seems to have ended.”

…

Lin Xiaosu finally returned to Beijing.

Upon arriving in Beijing, he was greeted by a contingent of Yellow Robed Servants at the “Return to the Capital Platform,” with the words “Your Majesty invites the Marquis to the palace,” which made Qing Ying extrely excited.

“Cousin, when the Marquis returns, will he… will he beco a Prince?” The last two words turned into sound transmission.

Hu Ji gently shook her head.

“Won’t he? I think it’s entirely possible. Expanding territory could lead to being made a Prince; this is ancestral law.” Qing Ying said.

“It’s only a possibility, not a certainty!” Hu Ji said, “Let’s go back to the Marquis Mansion first.”

Let’s talk about Lin Xiaosu entering the Golden Hall.

Your Majesty personally stepped down from the dragon throne, walked across the long red carpet before him, and took Lin Xiaosu’s hand, walking shoulder to shoulder through the officials’ ranks.

The officials, as usual, were liberal with their praise. After the usual procedures, the Holy Decree was issued.

“For eliminating the Poison Sect nace in Lanzhou, stabilizing the Northern Country’s border, and recovering the lost territory of a millennium, Marquis Xueyi has rendered great rit to the court. He shall be richly rewarded with one million Desert Gold, and permitted to et the Monarch without kneeling.”

Lin Xiaosu kneeled to Your Majesty one last ti, then led a group of Yellow Robed Servants to deliver the million Desert Gold back to the Marquis Mansion.

The Yellow Robed Servants returned to the palace, and the steward, looking at the piles of Desert Gold, was montarily dumbfounded.

Lin Xiaosu chuckled lightly: “Steward, reward each person in the mansion with one hundred Desert Gold!”

The steward was completely shocked: “One… one hundred pieces?”

“Yes, there are only seventy-nine people in the mansion, and even that amount cos to less than ten thousand. How do I plan on spending this million Desert Gold? It’ll drive mad with worry…”

He floated away as he spoke.

The servants in the mansion exchanged glances, not knowing if they were still in the most beautiful dream they had ever had, unsure if they were truly awake.

Desert Gold is a valuable high-grade currency. The hard work of one month would generally earn only one or two pieces of Desert Gold, and today the Marquis gave one hundred pieces as a reward, equivalent to the earnings of ten years for a strong laborer.

Entering the bedroom, Qing Ying lightly shook her head at the door: “Marquis, you’re recklessly giving away rewards like this. Aren’t you afraid you’ll frighten them?”

“You call this reckless? If I were truly reckless, I’d give each person ten thousand Desert Gold!”

Qing Ying said: “If you actually gave one person ten thousand, the servants would all probably run off by tomorrow. Each one would beco wealthy, and who wouldn’t want to be their own master instead of serving others?”

“Exactly, so that’s my worry!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Hey, Qing Ying, why don’t you help spend so money?”

Qing Ying giggled: “Qing Ying wouldn’t waste money. How about you give this task to your cousin instead?”

“Good idea; my cousin looks like soone who appreciates fine things, and I bet she’s quite good at spending money!” Lin Xiaosu pushed open Hu Ji’s room door.

He gently closed it behind him.

Hu Ji was at the windowsill, sipping tea. Her gaze slowly lifted.

As her gaze lifted, the sunlight outside seed to shift color slightly as the Yin Yang Law ford a sealed circle.

“Even though I’ve heard your analysis, seeing the million Desert Gold as a reward still disappoints . This Monarch is truly guarding against you.” Hu Ji said.

“Yes, money is definitely his true love. The fact that he is so freely giving his most beloved money shows that the great rit I earned for him is quite a headache.” Lin Xiaosu sat across from her, lifting an empty teacup, pouring himself a cup.

“Your path in court politics is no longer viable!” Hu Ji said.

“Indeed, as I’ve said, once the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, I will et with him and then I’ll have to venture into the Jianghu.”

“Why must you et with this Prince?” Hu Ji asked.

“Because I am laying the groundwork to utilize the power of the Dahuang Country in the future.”

“Utilizing the power of the Dahuang Country… What role can this Prince play? Ultimately, it still cos down to the Monarch.”

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze slowly lifted: “This Monarch… what if this Monarch doesn’t have much ti left?”

Hu Ji was completely shocked…

Lin Xiaosu said: “My path on the court is currently blocked, but soday I can continue that path, by installing a new Monarch.”

“The Seventh Prince… Is the Seventh Prince your choice for the next Monarch?”

“Yes!”

“I’ve learned from Fufeng about this Prince. He doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would stop at nothing for the throne.” The Seventh Prince’s concubine is the current eldest sister of Qingqiu, though the outside world knows little, Hu Ji knows this.

“If he were such a person, I wouldn’t choose him either.” Lin Xiaosu said.

Hu Ji frowned: “Then here’s the issue: he’s not that kind of person. How are you going to cooperate with him to eliminate the current Monarch?”

Lin Xiaosu laughed: “What are you thinking? When did I ever say I wanted to eliminate the current Monarch?”

Hu Ji asked: “So, are you saying… this Monarch is suffering from a severe illness, with his days numbered?”

“It has nothing to do with illness, but everything to do with the current political situation!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Three days ago, the Monarch issued a Holy Decree, imposing a ban on the Wan Du Sect. Imagine, how should the Wan Du Sect respond?”
