They took the lead and charged forward. The army followed closely behind. Their faces were filled with excitement and their eyes were burning. This credit was too easy…
At noon.
Beijing.
Royal Palace, Nourishment Palace.
The Xia Emperor had just finished his lunch and had come here to rest for a while before returning to the royal study to deal with official business.
On the dragon bed.
The Xia Emperor sat cross-legged in a meditative posture. There were many brocade boxes placed on the side, with talismans sealed to prevent the medicinal effects of the items inside from leaking out.
He took out a golden brocade box and opened it, revealing a ginseng that was about twenty years old.
He looked at the ginseng with a helpless expression and a bitter smile on his face. He clearly had countless treasures, but he could only stare at it and not consume it. It had to be said that it was ironic.
After eating the ginseng, it was extremely bitter, as if he couldn’t feel it. He then formed hand seals with his hands and used the Supreme Nirvana Life Creation Technique to refine it. It nourished his meridians, body, and soul, strengthening his physique and increasing his lifespan.
During this period of time, he had been doing this. Every day, he consumed a stalk of spirit herb to refine and strengthen his body. The effect was obvious, and his physical condition was much better than before. Under deliberate control, his appearance did not change much. He was still the same as before, but his inner body had changed drastically.
Wei Shang stood guard at the side and watched carefully to prevent any accidents from happening. Seeing that the Emperor was fine, his worried heart finally relaxed.
He frowned.
He looked outside and heard light footsteps.
Ever since he started cultivating the Supreme Nirvana Life-Giving Art, the Xia Emperor had decreed that no one was to disturb him no matter what. Violators would be severely punished!
It was Eunuch Yang, his trusted aide. He stopped at the door and did not knock.
As for Eunuch Xiao, he had left the palace two days ago to prepare for Xiao Mi’s wedding. He would only return to the palace after his granddaughter was married.
“Did something big happen again?” Wei Shang frowned.
He walked over.
After a while, he returned.
He stood by the dragon bed and waited quietly.
An hour later.
The Xia Emperor refined the medicinal power of the ginseng and ended his cultivation. He opened his eyes and sensed the condition of his body. He had become a little stronger, like a tortoise pulling a cart, increasing by a little every day.
Wei Shang poured a cup of tea and handed it over respectfully.
The Xia Emperor took the teacup. He was in no hurry to drink it. He held the lid of the teacup tightly and casually held the tea in his hand.” What happened?” he asked.
“Your Majesty, do you know?”
“Feelings ! ”
” Congratulations, Your Majesty!” Wei Shang smiled and congratulated. Congratulations, Your Majesty! Last night, Shen Yuanxiao led 50,000 troops across the Black Dragon River and entered the Shang Dynasty. They carried out their original plan and achieved great results. In just one night, they seized more than half of the county, including three county cities.”
He took out an urgent document from his sleeve and handed it over.
The Xia Emperor took the document and read it seriously.
There was no difference in general, but the details were more detailed.
The three counties that they had taken down had all used the Heavenly Fire Hell Pearl, which was extremely powerful. Under its destruction, not a single blade of grass grew. Other than the martial grandmasters, everyone else was instantly killed. It was simply too powerful. Both openly and externally, I implore His Majesty to order the Ministry of Works to refine more.
After reading the document.
The Xia Emperor casually tossed it to Wei Shang and took a sip of tea. He sighed and said,” I just wanted to test the power of the three Heavenly Fire Hell Pearls. I didn’t expect the effects to be so good. Fortunately, I didn’t do it in the experimental field and had someone rush it to Wangtian County. Otherwise, I would have wasted three Heaven Rank feys.”
“Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Everything is under your control.”
“Has Qing Lin returned?” the Xia Emperor asked, stroking his beard and smiling.
“Not yet!” Wei Shang shook his head.
It’s rare for me to rest for so many days. I’m even with Hong Ling. I reckon I’ll only be back when it’s dark.”
“It’s good.”
” What should we do with him?” Wei Shang asked curiously.
” A bunch of trash. They’re useless, but they can’t control themselves after seeing someone else make a contribution. They actually transferred him away and even suggested that he be appointed as the governor of a lower province. Such a huge grudge, I’ll give it to Qinglin first. What do you think the imperial court will do?”
Having followed the Xia Emperor for so many years, Wei Shang reacted very quickly, and he almost instantly guessed what was going on.
If it was really as His Majesty said, the future of the court would be exciting. Stylon was the first to bear the brunt. This time, he was the happiest and suggested that Qing Lin be transferred out of the capital. When he took power, he would be the first to suffer!
He didn’t dare to think about it further. There were too many implications.
He pondered for a while.
“I can’t eat well, I can’t sleep well!” Wei Shang said with his body hunched.
The Xia Emperor glared at him, his expression displeased.
“Your Majesty, are you really going to purge the royal court?” Wei Shang asked again.
I’m feeling a little better now. Since there’s still some time, I’ll make some time for Qinglin to create a more powerful cultivation method for longevity. Some people and forces are too active and have forgotten who they are!”
” There’s news from the Shang Dynasty that someone has sneaked into the capital. Will they make a move at this time?”
The Xia Emperor was disdainful. He raised his dragon eyes and said domineeringly,” I’m not even afraid of their army. They’re just a bunch of clowns. How can they make me give up on my original plan?”
His expression was solemn.
Pass down the order. Have the Grand Primordium Demon God monitor the capital. ”
“Yes, sir!” Wei Shang replied respectfully.
He came down from the dragon bed.
“Time really flies,” the Xia Emperor said.
Shaking his head, he walked towards the royal study.
Wei Shang and his men followed behind after they left the Nourishment
Palace..
