Chapter 96: A Major Event Is Imminent

So fast? You said it would be one or two double-hours?

Mo Qingyan widened her eyes and questioned Yang Jun.

Men, they're just stubborn after all.

Without even looking, what exactly is the situation with such a matter?

It's only been the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea, and you're already boasting like that?

Otherwise, how could you stand against Zhou Tian? You haven't even fought properly, yet you're surely already defeated?

Well...

【Embarrassing, how to make up for this matter?】

Yang Jun was quite surprised; Mo Qingyan didn't bother with his random thoughts, simply reached out and grabbed him again.

Come, continue; only diligence can compensate for clumsiness, and only then can we change all of this.

That night was very long.

Yang Jun and Mo Qingyan both didn't sleep.

Both of them were also very tired.

Through Yang Jun and Mo Qingyan's repeated probing, they also became quite familiar with the divine skill.

Yang Jun wasn't just boasting; the time also kept getting longer.

Of course, during their training, mutual bumps and touches were inevitable.

As youths of the jianghu, having such contact at times like these, shouldn't it be normal?

Mo Qingyan didn't think much of it, but her cheeks grew redder and redder.

It doesn't matter how she is.

But I can't help it; with this guy Yang Jun, my mind keeps wandering there, and I happen to overhear it.

What Yang Jun didn't know was that, while he and Mo Qingyan were desperately practicing, a fast horse from the border arrived in the capital.

Along the way, the relay horses galloped nonstop, changing nearly sixty horses, and finally before dawn, the urgent memorial from the western border was delivered straight to the capital, presented before the emperor.

With the arrival of this memorial, the morning court that day officially began.

Officials entered the hall, everyone was quite panicked.

Although they didn't know the memorial's specific content, it was obvious that a major event had occurred.

Otherwise, there would be no way such a thing would happen.

Everyone was speculating; even the military could only offer superficial comfort to colleagues, but deep down they still felt utterly baffled by the matter.

No one knows exactly how things are.

To know this memorial, even the military hadn't seen it, and then it was sent straight to the emperor's presence.

So, nowadays, no one can sort out clearly what these kinds of problems are like.

The morning court time has passed, but Yun Fengyun still hasn't appeared right away.

Instead, after a while, he finally went up to the hall.

Yun Fengyun also seemed a bit anxious; on his way, he appeared very hurried, walking straight over and sitting on the dragon throne.

Soon, Yuanlu took out the memorial.

A major event occurred at the border; the troops of the Sunshine Kingdom actually retreated!

And the most important reason among them was actually that the Sunshine Divine Emperor suddenly passed away!

The cause of this sudden demise was illness..

He suffered a serious illness!

Such a thing, happening to anyone, is not something people readily want to believe.

Now, the Sunshine Kingdom has dispatched a new envoy group, hoping to exchange the Mulberry Knot Return to One back.

When this news spread, the officials were all excited at once.

To them, this is a tremendous blessing.

The Sunshine Kingdom has always been an enemy of Great Xia, and a formidable foe that Great Xia finds hard to deal with.

Now, the Sunshine Kingdom has withdrawn its troops; this can be considered a defeat as crushing as a mountain collapse.

When a nation's ruler dies, it's highly likely that its soldiers will likewise lose morale.

Thus, solving these problems will become much easier.

"Esteemed officials, what are your views on this matter?"

Yun Fengyun's eyes swept over the officials, his finger lightly tapping the armrest of his chair as he spoke in a low, solemn voice.

At this moment, his eyes revealed dignity.

As for what he himself is thinking, no one knows either.

Regarding this matter, everyone's feelings seem to be somewhat similar as well.

"The Sunshine Kingdom loves nothing more than imitating our Great Xia, even turning around and using everything of Great Xia against us."

"Now then, this is clearly a heavenly punishment."

"Precisely because they are so strong, all of this is what they deserve!"

"Exactly, this is a great joy!"

"Your Majesty, isn't this exactly what Prince Yang said before—that the Sunshine Kingdom would never dare attack our Great Xia? Now it seems this is indeed true."

"Indeed, Prince Yang is also remarkably foresightful; now that the prince and princess are married, Your Majesty can fully employ the prince, and then Great Xia will have nothing to worry about."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty; this is now a double joy, proving that the Sunshine Kingdom will perish and our Great Xia will flourish!"

"Indeed, this truly is a joy for our Great Xia; please, Your Majesty, employ the prince."

The officials spoke up one after another, each saying a few words.

At first, it didn't seem like a big deal.

But gradually, such topics seemed to have gone off track.

Moreover, this made things seem rather off.

Yun Fengyun's brows knitted tightly.

What I want shouldn't be like this.

What I originally wanted was a celebration of the decline of Rizhao State and the prosperity of Daxia State.

But gradually, these people's words became increasingly off.

How exactly did this happen?

Most importantly, these people deliberately steered the topic toward Yang Jun, making the impact obvious—are they supporters of Yang Jun?

Yun Fengyun was even more dissatisfied with this issue.

Yang Jun was not his choice.

I also need to have other plans.

Thinking of this, Yang Jun also thought of Zhou Tian, wondering whether that guy had made preparations.

What I want is for tomorrow—I must be able to suppress Yang Jun.

This problem isn't that simple.

No matter what, my daughter absolutely cannot marry Yang Jun!

An early court session was being carried out amidst the mutual standoff.

After Yun Fengyun announced the adjournment of court, he went to the Imperial Garden.

"Father Emperor, Father Emperor, how do I look, daughter?"

Upon seeing Yun Fengyun, Yun Xiyue immediately went up to him, asking with a happy face.

Before them, Yun Xiyue wore red bridal attire, her smile clever and graceful, her glances radiant.

Now she was brimming with excitement and absolute joy.

No matter what, I must stay in top condition for these matters and marry Yang Jun beautifully!

This idea is Yang Jun's inner perseverance.

In short, given the situation, what I must do is to be this strong.

The Empress wore a bright yellow palace robe, dignified and luxurious.

Looking at his daughter from afar, he appeared even more delighted.

His daughter had grown up and was now about to marry.
