Chapter 912: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

"Report!"

"Report————"

"Reporting to the King, the Wa army of eighty thousand is pressing in tightly, and General Li has retreated to defend Qinghe Town!"

"Report! King, General Li's army is in dire need of provisions and fodder, and they are in dire need of artillery! They have been fighting for three consecutive days without a meal!"

"Reporting to the King, the fresh water was ambushed during transport."

The entire Li Dynasty court was silent.

Everyone's complexion was not very good.

Li Tun's face was even more livid, and he remained silent, but his grip on the armrests of the throne betrayed his anger at this moment.

Useless trash!

They are all a bunch of useless people!

He trembled all over as he looked around at these civil and military officials—this bunch of useless people! Only now did he realize that when Min Weizhong was alive, his familiarity with state affairs was far beyond what this bunch of useless people could compare to! Although the Wa were still gaining the upper hand at that time, that was because his own army's combat effectiveness was lacking, and it had nothing to do with those messy reasons.

First-published website:

A strong sense of regret suddenly welled up in Li Tun's heart.

Was he truly lacking in reason when he chose to provoke Min Weizhong at that time?

This Southern Faction may have seized the power of the court, but during this period, their governance has been a complete mess!

As the controller of the Li Dynasty's state affairs, Min Weizhong arranged everything in an orderly manner—whatever Weaponry and Equipment, whatever provisions, whatever logistical support, whatever medicine, whatever military medical teams—the battles were fought chaotically, but Min Weizhong could still manage it so that the generals at the front line did not have to worry about these problems at all.

But what about now?

What about now!

"King, this humble official is already familiarizing himself with the state affairs, and is already—"

Li Hang was covered in sweat.

"Familiarizing?"

A complete mess!

Whether it is state affairs or military affairs, it is all a complete mess, a complete mess!

Facing Li Tun's anger, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter.

"Get out, all of you get out!"

Li Tun was furious.

Only then did this group of civil and military officials scatter like birds and beasts.

Li Tun finally exploded: "Did I ask you to go and familiarize yourselves? Hmm? I asked you to take charge of the overall situation. Now that the border war is tight, you tell me you need to familiarize yourselves?"

"Yes, King, this humble official guarantees that such things will not happen again!"

Li Hang gave his solemn word.

A group of people left together, and many had already begun to discuss what programs to go play tonight.

"Trash, you are all trash!"

However, once they left the palace, the group changed from their previous silent and cautious faces to laughing loudly and acting dissolutely.

"Lord Li, there are a few Nanyang beauties sent here today, what do you think?"

"Hahahaha, one should drink a large cup of wine, one should drink a large cup of wine! Easy to say, easy to say!"

Isn't everything, everything, because of her?

If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many things; if it weren't for her, Min Weizhong wouldn't have died; if it weren't for her, Inhyeon wouldn't have been deposed.

Inhyeon.

After these people left, Li Tun still had a livid face.

Zhang Yuzhen had already arrived, and she didn't know what to say or how to persuade him.

Li Tun glanced at Zhang Yuzhen, and to his surprise, a hint of annoyance arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty"

Seeing Li Tun stand up, Zhang Yuzhen hurriedly followed behind him.

Li Tun said coldly, "I want to walk alone in the palace, you don't need to follow."

At this moment, the exhausted Li Tun suddenly had this name flash through his mind.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He still missed that Queen who had a strong sense of the big picture and foresight. And at this moment, what else could Zhang Yuzhen do besides acting cute, acting like a spoiled child, and looking aggrieved?

No one had expected this.

At this time in the palace, many people saw this situation and were already acting sneakily.

"Quick, quick!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yuzhen, as expected, had an aggrieved look again, on the verge of tears.

This time, however, Li Tun left her side very decisively.

Is this inner palace not also a world of martial arts?

Li Tun paced slowly.

Unknowingly, he actually arrived at the entrance of the Middle Hall. He stopped his footsteps and looked quietly at the Middle Hall at this moment; Queen Inhyeon was no longer here, only Zhang Yuzhen's sudden change of the situation had caused the Li Dynasty to suffer periodic growing pains, but more importantly, he didn't even know how long these growing pains would last.

"This way, this way!"

The country is a world of martial arts.

The court is also a world of martial arts.

However, just at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound not far away.

"Huh?"

Li Tun looked suspicious and walked over upon hearing the sound.

If this kind of labor pain were to continue, wouldn't the Li Dynasty undoubtedly become a colony under the hooves of the Wa?

The more he thought, the more irritable he became.

Li Tun soon left the Middle Palace.

He lightened his footsteps and walked slowly along the trees in the palace, only to see in that room, at this moment, a stunning Beauty, with her head lowered, kneeling on the ground, hands pressed together, praying for something.

?

Li Tun pricked up his ears.

Right in the maid's quarters not far from the Middle Palace, there was actually the sound of sobbing.

What is going on?

Li Tun was even more puzzled.

Inhyeon?

It had been a long time since he had heard the name Inhyeon in the palace. Because ever since Zhang Yuzhen became the Middle Palace, she could be said to have an extremely strong sense of jealousy, and no Beauty in the entire palace had any Method to contend with her.

This woman

"Lady Inhyeon, you must be well. Today is your birthday, and I am here praying to Buddha for you, hoping you will be safe and sound, and that one day, you can continue to be the mother of the world, wuwuwuwu."

This?

Li Ting listened with a bewildered expression.

The woman heard Li Tun's involuntary footsteps, was startled, and looked around in a panic.

When she saw it was Li Tun, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Li Tun walked over with a chuckle, watched her quietly, and asked: "Raise your head, what is your name?"

Li Tun was astonished in his heart and looked over suspiciously.

At this moment, she was praying, so Li Tun could only see her profile; from the side, one could see her peerless beauty, exquisite and enchanting. What shocked Li Tun even more was that this woman had not forgotten her former mistress and had not yielded to power; today was indeed Inhyeon's birthday, and she was actually here alone wishing her a happy birthday.

"Who goes there?"

Li Tun nodded with a smile: "Such a beauty, such kindness, and she is only a maid in the needle room? Absurd, absurd! From today on, you are Court Lady Cui!"

"Huh?"

Cui Xishan was so shocked that she finally raised her head.

"I, I, I, I am called Cui Xishan, a palace maid in the Middle Palace's needle room."

The maid Cui did not dare to raise her head at all.

"Cui Xishan."

In an instant, he forgot all his troubles.

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful!

Only then did Li Tun truly see her real face.

It is done!

Jin Wanji received the news at the first opportunity; this was something they had arranged beforehand. At this moment, Li Tun had finally taken the bait!
