EBE Chapter 451 Summoning, Reminder
Chapter 451 Summoning, Reminder
With the intervention of the formidable Zhennan Army, the turmoil in the entire dynasty was completely quelled in just one year, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.
However, the border has already begun to stir up trouble and is no longer peaceful.
Neighboring dynasties and imperial courts amassed large armies like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, and the shadow of war loomed over them like a mountain pressing down on an egg, ready to erupt at any moment.
These intelligence reports were continuously sent from the frontier to the capital. The cabinet and Crown Prince Qin Chen acted decisively and immediately began to discuss how to deal with the impending war.
After careful consideration, the imperial court acted swiftly, sending a steady stream of grain, supplies, and military equipment to the frontier, making full preparations for war at any time.
Furthermore, a large number of spies were dispatched to monitor the actions of each dynasty like hawks.
Shenwu Palace.
"Your Majesty, the border countries are all making moves, and the Cabinet and His Highness the Crown Prince have already begun preparations in advance."
Yu Shu reported the current situation in the court to Qin Wu.
"Are all thirty-six marquis families ready?" Qin Wu asked softly, his expressionless voice carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Standing at the lower end, Yu Shu hurriedly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, all thirty-six marquis clans are fully prepared and ready to act at Your Majesty's command."
Qin Wu nodded slightly in satisfaction, then his eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Very good! Next, you must immediately go to the twelve noble clans to convey my decree, instructing them to make thorough preparations. Once the war begins on the front lines, they must strike the enemy hard and show no mercy!"
Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has not taken the initiative to expand its territory, so much so that the various forces that were eager to make a move seemed to have gradually forgotten the Qin Dynasty's former illustrious reputation and powerful strength.
However, things are different now. After years of forbearance and planning, Qin Wu felt that he had enough confidence and no longer needed to be constrained or hesitant in his actions as before.
If Qin Wu fails to thoroughly defeat and frighten these provocative forces this time, he will not give up easily.
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree and will certainly fulfill my mission." Yu Shu respectfully agreed and was about to turn around and leave to carry out the order.
At this moment, Qin Wu suddenly spoke slowly and added, "Wait a minute. Later, you should arrange for Consort Long and Consort Feng to come to see me together, but remember that this matter must not be leaked to anyone else."
Yu Shu quickly bowed again and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this servant understands and will act with caution."
After speaking, she carefully withdrew from the hall and began to handle the various matters assigned to her by Qin Wu.
Not long after, the Dragon Consort and the Phoenix Consort appeared gracefully outside the palace gate.
They parted their lips slightly and said in unison, "Your Majesty, we request an audience with you."
As soon as the words were spoken, a deep and magnetic voice came from inside the hall: "Come in!" Upon hearing this response, the two women dared not delay in the slightest and quickly stepped into the hall with light steps.
Upon entering the main hall, the two women respectfully knelt and bowed, their soft voices ringing out simultaneously: "Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace." At this moment, Qin Wu sat upright on the magnificent golden throne. He slightly raised his hand, indicating, "No need for formalities, please rise."
After receiving permission, the two women bowed again and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then he carefully stood up.
In fact, the two women were quite surprised when they received the imperial decree summoning them.
Before this, they had secretly speculated that His Majesty might have already successfully emerged from seclusion, but had been hiding behind the scenes, quietly observing the changes and developments in the situation.
In retrospect, their guesses back then were indeed correct.
However, what intrigued them even more was whether His Majesty had achieved a breakthrough at this very moment.
If you have truly broken through, then what unfathomable realm have you reached?
Thinking of this, the two women couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes revealing an undisguised sense of anticipation and awe.
"I have summoned you here today because I have important matters to discuss. After you return, you must immediately send messages to the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and other forces in the Middle Domain, instructing them to be fully prepared and ready for battle at any time. For it will not be long before the Middle Domain is engulfed in war once again, with flames of war everywhere!" Qin Wu said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, both women were shocked, realizing that this great battle could not be quelled in a short time.
Moreover, its scale is so large that it may not be limited to a single corner of the land, but could very well affect the entire Middle Domain.
Therefore, informing all parties in advance at this time can be considered as Qin Wu showing sufficient consideration for these two major clans.
"If they are willing to assist in this battle, that would be excellent; if they are not willing to participate, then we must all be on high alert and strengthen our defenses. We must not be careless, lest we be caught off guard and lose our composure. In short, we must not allow those covetous forces to take advantage of the situation," Qin Wu continued to instruct.
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "As for what choices they make afterward, that has little to do with me. If anyone suffers losses because of this in the future, don't blame me for not giving them a heads-up beforehand. After all, I have done what I was supposed to do."
At this moment, Consort Feng hurriedly rose and bowed, respectfully replying, "Your Majesty, I will obey Your Majesty's decree. Thank you for your great care and concern for our clan. I will never forget such kindness." She naturally understood that His Majesty's willingness to issue such a warning was already a great respect and courtesy to the Phoenix Clan.
If Your Majesty insists on remaining silent, I'm afraid no one will dare to utter a single complaint.
Just then, the Dragon Consort bowed gracefully and thanked Qin Wu, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will remember it forever." Her voice was clear and melodious, as sweet as a nightingale singing in a valley.
Qin Wu waved his hand slightly and said calmly, "No need to be so polite. You should start preparing as soon as possible. I predict that this great battle will probably break out soon." His gaze was deep and solemn, as if he could already see the smoke and bloodshed on the future battlefield.
"Yes, sir!" the two women replied in unison, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Then, they turned to leave to carry out their mission.
However, Qin Wu suddenly called out to them, "Wait! There is one more thing I need to tell you. You must not divulge even a single word about my end of this seclusion, not even to your respective clans. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished!" Although his words were calm, the authority they contained sent chills down their spines.
"Yes!" the two women replied respectfully again, indicating that they would obey the imperial decree. Then, Qin Wu waved his arm, and a mysterious power instantly enveloped the two women. In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared from their original spot and were teleported to a place far away from this spatial turbulence.
Qin Wu's effortless move shocked the two women. To be able to teleport someone out of the spatial turbulence so easily, his mastery of the laws of space must have reached an unparalleled level. Thinking of this, the two women couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing deep awe in each other's eyes.
