The guards led by Huo Ni Lin were all imperial guards and imperial guards. There was the Great Governor Han Xing, the Deputy Governor Nan Feng, and there was also the Guard Commander An Ling Qing Lan. How could he be used to take charge of military affairs?

Moreover, Han Xing, Nanfeng, An Anling, Qinglan and a few others were all subordinates and confidants of the Fiery Inverted Scale. The guards and imperial guards were all personal guards of the Fiery Inverted Scale and could not be controlled by him, much less listen to his orders.

He only lightly asked, "I heard that the Empress is also with the Emperor. With the Empress by his side, the Emperor will definitely be able to be at ease."

He wanted to ask Ji Tian Ning how she was doing, but he was not the one who should have asked this question, so he said it in such a manner.

However, An Lingyun understood Shang Qiuyuan's intentions. She whispered, "General, don't worry. The Empress is fine, and is taking care of the Emperor right now."

"Your excellency, the emperor has awoken. When he heard that the great general had returned, he announced that the great general had come to pay his respects."

An Ling Qinglan hurriedly got up, "Great General, please."

Shang Qiuyuan walked out of the tent, heading towards the tent with the Flaming Scales. He paid attention along the way, but he did not see Ji Tian Ning's beautiful figure. He felt a slight sense of loss in his heart.

He also understood that it must have been arranged so that An Lingyun wouldn't want them to meet.

Walking into the tent, he saw Huo Ni Lin lying on the bed weakly, his face as pale as paper and his breathing erratic. His originally sharp and cold eyes were now dark and lifeless. Even the stern expression on his face had become weaker due to his injuries.

"This subject greets Your Majesty."

Shang Qiuyuan knelt before the couch and paid his respects. He too was grateful to Huo Ni Lin; if Huo Ni Lin hadn't agreed to surrender, then he and his soldiers would only be facing death. How would there be today's revenge?

If it weren't for the decree that the Fiery Inverted Scale had given him, allowing him to act in a convenient manner and even sending the imperial guards to him, it would have been difficult for him to enter the Fengyuan territory and capture Fengjinping alive. Because of this, and also because of the vow he made in front of the Fiery Inverted Scales when they surrendered, he wouldn't betray them.

Huo Ni Lin looked at Shang Qiuyuan. This person was still the same as before. If it wasn't for his silver hair, he wouldn't have changed at all. He still looked elegant and indifferent, but he had a bit more dignity and coldness on his body. It was obvious that the war in Fengyuan had made the famous Marshal Bai Lian, who was from the five countries, stained with some killing intent.

"It's good that you're here."

His voice carried a hint of weakness. He already knew that Shang Qiuyuan had come alone to meet him. There was no need for them to say anything more, they all understood each other's intentions.

Shang Qiuyuan could understand his intentions, and he was very satisfied to see him express his loyalty alone. He tried his best to stay alert. He was still in a coma. He had less time to wake up and was severely injured. He needed to rest for many days before he could slowly recover.

Removing one of his kidneys would greatly affect his health. After all, the medical conditions and medication available were vastly different. He would always feel weak all over, weak in spirit.

The sequelae of losing too much blood, in addition to his severe injuries, had one kidney removed. Even in modern times, without a long period of rest, it was difficult to move freely.

Shang Qiuyuan got up and came to the front of the Fire-scaled couch. "Is Your Majesty feeling better? When this subject heard that the emperor had been injured, he was extremely worried. Upon receiving the emperor's decree, he rushed all the way here as fast as possible. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This subject will definitely find out who did this and avenge Your Majesty."

"Qiu Yuan, sit down. I have called you here to hear your analysis of the current situation. According to Nan Feng and An Ling's analysis, the people ambushing us could be from the Northern barbarians. A few days ago when I received the military intelligence, I also heard that the other three kingdoms also had strange movements in the shadows. You are the most familiar with the current situation of Fengyuan, I want to hear your opinion. "

"Your Majesty, the four empires have advanced to Fengyuan and the one with the greatest benefits is the Southern Champion. Currently, the other three countries were all coveting the enormous benefits that Nanke had obtained in Fengyuan, and were secretly beginning to prevent her from continuing to obtain benefits in Fengyuan. What I am most worried about is that the other three Kingdoms and the princes of Fengyuan are colluding with each other in the name of aiding the new monarch, with the intention of preventing the Southern Champion from continuing to advance. "

"Are there any collusion between the other three countries?"

"Your Majesty, this subject fears the same thing. If the other three nations were to form an alliance, not only would Nanke be unable to maintain her current advantages and benefits, she would also suffer heavy losses. This was also the reason why the subjects had come today to pay their respects to the Emperor. This matter shall be decided by the Emperor. This subject shall await his orders. "

Huo Ni Lin closed his eyes and felt dizzy. Not only was his body powerless, it was also very difficult to think about this. He was already severely injured. If he were to suffer from another headache, it would only get worse.

"Qiuyuan, you've surrendered to me first, and then you've bowed to the Shoulder Emperor. Who exactly are the people you're loyal to?"

The reverse fire scale didn't want to keep guessing and didn't have the energy to analyze, so it directly asked and solved the doubt in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this subject once swore to be loyal to Your Majesty, so I will do my best to serve Your Majesty. "His name is Li Lu, and he and his servant are like dust in their ears. I only want to wait for the matter of Fukuhara to be settled and return to the farmlands."

"I've heard that the King sitting side by side holds you in extremely high regard. What are you supposed to do with me?" So what right do you have to be side by side with your king? "

Shang Qiuyuan bowed. "Your majesty, please do not worry. Your majesty is the sovereign and your subject is completely loyal. Bowing to my royal father, my royal father is the ruler of the nation, the pillar of the Southern Champion. The Southern Champion cannot lack my royal father. This subject should also show the filial piety of a human child. There is no contradiction between them. After the end of the war in Fengyuan, this official requests the resignations of the heralds. "Please calm your mind and recuperate so that your dragon body can recover quickly."

Huo Ni Lin stared at Shang Qiuyuan, looking at his indifferent expression and his deep eyes that contained infinite desolation. He believed that Shang Qiuyuan no longer wished to be an official.

"Whatever, let's end this matter here. I will allow you to return to seclusion." If you want to stay in the imperial court, you are also a minister of the Southern Champion Kingdom. "Look, how should we deal with the current situation?"

"Your majesty has the Emperor, and your father has plotted as well. This subject can only listen to orders."

Huo Ni Lin shook his head. "Qiu Yuan is just like how he was in the hot spring. He doesn't need to hide anything from me. "Tell me what you think."

"Yes, with this humble one's foolish opinion, we should negotiate with the other three countries and split the benefits of Fengyuan. Otherwise, if the other three nations start a war with the Southern Champion, the gains will not make up for the losses. "

"Yun Meng is arrogant. She has sent the letter of credence several times, claiming herself as the ruler of the world. How would you like to negotiate peace?"

"Reporting to your majesty, if Yun Meng is arrogant, she can negotiate with Northern barbarians and Jinghai. She can give up all the benefits that Southern Champion has gained to Northern barbarians and Jinghai Jinghai. If Nan Gong, Northern Yi, and Jinghai were to form an alliance, how could Yun Meng be independent? After hearing about it, Yun Meng also sent letters of credence to the Northern barbarians and to Jinghai, claiming to be the master of Fengyuan. If necessary, you may give up part of your profits to reach an agreement with Northern barbarians and Jinghai. "

"How would you like to negotiate?"

"This subject does not dare to say too much. I will listen to the Holy Judgement."

Huo Ni Lin felt extremely tired. He had never felt this kind of powerless before. He already knew that Ji Tian Ning had transferred too much of her blood to him in order to save him, causing him to fall into a coma.

She was deeply touched. So the kitten cared about him so much.

If this injury was able to make her so nervous, in order to save him, she had risked her life, so his injuries would not have been in vain.

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She had always cared about him. In her heart, his life was so important that it was worth it for her to sacrifice her life for the blood transfusion to save him.

He decided that no matter what had happened in the past, he would never ask or think about it again.

For her sake, he was willing to ignore her life to the point of giving her massive blood transfusions. What else could be more important than this? This kind of woman was the type of person that he would painstakingly search for in his entire life. He must treat her well and cherish her as the most important person in his heart.

What he did not know was that the most important place in his heart had long since been occupied by the girl he called a kitten.

"Tian Ning, I'm sorry. It was my fault for neglecting you in the past." Actually, you have always been in my heart. The person who can live and die with me is you! If we can safely return to the Southern Champion City this time, we will definitely seal one of your six palaces. Even if it is the position of queen, sooner or later it will be yours. "My queen should be you!"

He closed his eyes and rested for a moment. He did not dare to think too much, because he did not have that much energy.

"Qiu Yuan, you need not worry when you speak in front of me. I no longer have the strength to think. I believe that you have thought it through thoroughly. Since I gave you everything about Fengyuan back then, it is still the same. "The people of the Feng family can be easily dealt with by you, I will not interfere."

"Thank you, your majesty."

Shang Qiuyuan bowed slightly in thanks, still having some doubts in his heart. After all, what he wanted to say might not be accepted by the reverse fire scale. This cold-blooded monarch had never compromised against anyone before. Furthermore, his planning was not the character of the Flaming Devil Scale, but rather, he was planning to give up too many benefits.

"Your Majesty, this subject has thought about it over and over again. It is impossible to obtain all the benefits from Fengyuan. Now that Yunmeng, Beiyi, and Jinghai are eyeing the Southern Champion City, the other princes are hesitating. Yunmeng arrogant, with the world as the common master, demanding that countries withdraw from Fengyuan, by Yunmeng control. This is an opportunity. If we can form alliances with the Northern barbarians and the Jinghai Sea, then we can set up Fengyuan and in the future, we can also join forces with the other two nations to fight against the enemy together, Yunmeng. "

"Go on."

Huo Ni Lin nodded his head slightly. Shang Qiuyuan's plan was very long-term, so it was not as if he was considering things at the moment. The war could not last long, and in the end, it was bound to end in peace or unity.

And this great enemy, Yun Meng, was undoubtedly the one he feared the most. If he could share the benefits of Fengyuan with the Northern barbarians and Jinghai, and work together to deal with Yunmeng, then he would be able to save his worries and focus on dealing with Yunmeng.

They secretly think that the Northern barbarians and the Jinghai are far away from the path of the Southern Champion, especially the Jinghai, far away from the Dreamy Cloud Martial School. This subject thinks that we should attack from afar and form a relationship with the Northern barbarians and Jinghai to resist Yunmeng together. "If we form an alliance with the Northern barbarians and Jing Hai, then the situation will change for Yun Meng. For the future, it's not impossible for Ma Te Yun Meng to make it out alive.

"Well said, how do we make friends with the Northern barbarians and Jinghai?"

Your Majesty, your subject knows that the attack on His Majesty this time is closely related to the Northern Yi. This is not the time to be enemies with the Northern barbarians. The benefits that the Southern Champion received in Fengyuan far exceeded those of the other three countries. Currently, the three countries had the intention of jointly stopping the Southern Champion. "This humble one's foolishness could grant the other benefits of Fengyuan to the Northern barbarians and Jinghai to form an alliance to prevent Yunmeng from gaining benefits in Fengyuan.

As Shang Qiuyuan spoke to here, he observed the expression of the fire reverse scale. He knew that the fire reverse scale had always been an absolute tyrant.

Currently, less than half of Fengyuan's territory was controlled by the Southern Champion. The loss of the Southern Champion wasn't too big, and the morale was high, so he was worried that Huo Ni Lin would reject his suggestion.

Only now, if Nanke continues to expand her interests in Fengyuan, it will definitely arouse the wrath of the other three countries.
