"Tomorrow, I will return to the imperial court." The row of generals below them sucked in a breath of cold air. Just like that? He really didn't want to accept it.

"What is it? Do you feel a little dissatisfied? Do you still think that there is a need to continue fighting? Even the internal world is unstable right now, and you still want to establish your own territory? Isn't that a joke? " When Murong Xiu saw that his subordinates were unwilling to accept this, his eyes turned cold. He spoke in a serious tone, but didn't use a critical tone. Instead, he spoke in a serious tone.

"You guys have seen it for yourselves. The generals of the other party are capable men, but what about us? Have you ever thought about this question and still want to continue fighting? Do you have the ability to do so? " Mu Rong Xiu's heart chilled. In these past few days, he hadn't been able to figure out the reason why he was so depressed, but every time he looked at his subordinates, he would think of Zi Yuan. These people couldn't even compare to a girl.

"Marshal, I refuse to accept this. Our side still has more people than them. If we retreat now and let the enemy prepare, I'm afraid we won't have such a good opportunity next time." Suddenly, one of the generals stood up after hearing the marshal's words and spoke with his hands cupped in front of his chest.

"Hmph, you dare say that you have a good chance of winning if you call on him now?" Do you want to use a sea of people as a strategy? Let me tell you, although the other side doesn't have as many troops as us, they still have many enemies. Could it be that you have forgotten the hundred elites that ambushed us last time? " When Murong Xiu saw that someone had stepped forward, he was enraged. Then, he recalled the group of people led by Zi Yuan. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The hundred elites had forcefully dragged down over two thousand of their own troops. This achievement was truly shocking. It was also because of that incident that Murong Xiu had been a bit unsteady during this war.

Seeing that no one else was talking, Murong Xiu waved his hand and said, "You can all leave. You only need to know that there's always someone stronger than you, so as long as you keep your heart set on winning, you'll have a chance in the future." Murong Xiu paused and then firmly said, "I'll lead the way in front of you!" After that, he coldly swept his gaze over the great generals.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys!" The generals felt reassured when they heard Murong Xiu's firm reply. Murong Xiu was their divine needle that could freeze the sea, and now that even their marshal had spoken, they couldn't refute him anymore. They could only clasp their hands together and retreat.

Inside the tent, Mu Rong Xiu's face was ice-cold and his gaze was ice-cold. "Helian, you actually tricked me this time. Haha, what a good plan. Not bad, not bad at all." Murong Xiu said to himself. Then, he couldn't help but recall the expression in that stubborn girl's eyes. His heart was unnaturally moved. What was wrong with him? Could a girl make his mind unsteady? Following that, Murong Xiu shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. In his heart, he had given the order to kill Helian Lie and Zi Yuan!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Zi Yuan hurriedly asked when he saw Helian returned.

"Hur Hur, tomorrow I will return to the imperial court." Helian said with a relaxed expression. However, in the eyes of the Violet Garden, they felt utter disbelief.

"What?" You're going back tomorrow? That Murong Xiu is actually willing to retreat? " Zi Yuan asked with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"What else can they do? I'm afraid there is already a dispute within the Imperial Family right now. " Helian Lie smiled happily as he thought of this. His expression must have been marvelous since he could make Murong Xiu suffer such a loss. However, Zi Yuan, who was standing opposite him, suddenly spoke.

"If they retreat, do we retreat? If that's the case, won't it mean that we'll be returning empty-handed this time? "

"Haha, you returned empty-handed?" "Wrong, it's a grave mistake. It's not a loss, but a great achievement." When Helian heard Violet Garden's words, he felt that she was somewhat adorable and laughed heartily.

"Why?" Zi Yuan felt a little confused. The battle between the two sides did not end in a victor. Yet, they had just left. Wasn't it useless to return like this?

Haha, you, you've done so many things yet you still don't know, the biggest credit this time is you. Think about it, killing that Zhuge Feimo was originally a great credit, and the collapse of that sword peak must have left a deep impression on Murong Xiu's heart. You still say you didn't do anything, and I'm afraid that Murong Xiu is also preparing to return tomorrow like me.

Hearing Helian's praise of her, Zi Yuan also felt very satisfied. However, she still modestly replied, "Your Majesty is too kind. We should have done it anyway."

"Haha, it's a reward that must be awarded. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?" At this moment, Helian was also very pleased with himself. He felt that Zi Yuan was helping him accomplish all of this.

"Your majesty, I don't need any rewards. I'm from the Northern Yue and should be doing this anyway." Zi Yuan said indifferently. He didn't know when this cold-blooded killer had stopped making requests when he was facing Helian. He didn't know either.

"Very well. When you feel that you want it, come and tell me. I will definitely satisfy you." Seeing Zi Yuan's words, Helian felt gratified in his heart, and at the same time, he opened his mouth. Then, before Zi Yuan could say anything, Helian said that there would probably be some changes within the imperial court after the class was returned to the imperial court.

"What's wrong? Could it be that some bad news came from inside the imperial court? "

"This matter is still unclear. We will only find out after we return to the imperial palace. Alright, you should rest early." Helian Lie was unwilling to speak any further on this matter. Afraid that Zi Yuan would be overly worried, he waved his hand and said.

"That's fine. Your Majesty, you should rest early as well." Seeing that Helian did not want to talk about this matter, Zi Yuan did not pursue the matter. The great battle was almost over, and the war at the northern border had probably eased up. Ever since they arrived at this place, the purple garden had not had a good night's sleep, yet right now, they were fast asleep.

At the Western Palace, after the conversation with Li Yun, Zuo Dong had made up his mind. It seemed like he needed to have a good talk with Eunuch Huang to get to the bottom of things. When he received the invitation from the Prime Minister, he also knew what Zuo Wuji was thinking about; after all, he had served the late emperor for many years.

"Prime Minister, I wonder what brings this old servant here right now?" Eunuch Huang said in a soft voice.

"Hehe, Eunuch Huang is busy every day. I think it is really inappropriate to call Eunuch Huang over right now. I hope that you won't mind." Zuo Qian also smiled back at him. He had to at least try to curry favor with Ye Zichen, since he had a request from someone else.

"Prime Minister, what kind of words are those? This old servant isn't as busy as Prime Minister. Ai, this old servant only has this servant's life, how can I be as carefree and carefree as Prime Minister?" Eunuch Huang felt very comfortable after hearing Zuo Qing flattering him.

"Haha! Eunuch, please don't be modest. Who doesn't know that Eunuch Huang is supporting the emperor there? It can be considered a great blessing for us in the palace." At this moment, Zuo Dong was just a first class fart.

"Hehe, the prime minister still has something to say. I presume the prime minister didn't ask this old servant to come here and say it." Eunuch Huang also said directly. Although he had some thoughts in his mind, he still had to speak them out personally.

"Since Eunuch Huang is so straightforward, then Zuo Qian must have said it directly. I wonder how Eunuch Huang would feel about the matter regarding Military Advisor Zhuge." Seeing Eunuch Huang directly ask this, Zuo Dong knew that there was no need to continue to flatter him. As the prime minister of an empire, it was already giving him a lot of face to think that he was a snake when he was with an eunuch.

"Prime Minister wants to say that Military Advisor Zhuge died in his own army camp. This is a bit strange, so he wants to know what the Emperor's thoughts are." When Eunuch Huang saw Zuo Qing, he also started to talk about business. As the emperor's personal servant, no one would dare to blame him if he spoke directly. Since he had confidence, he spoke frankly when facing the prime minister.

However, when Eunuch Huang said this, there were some things that he didn't dare to say. He also knew that in his heart, since the Emperor was still young and Mu Rong Xiu was not around, it was up to him to decide what was going on. You sissy, I don't know what was going on in your mind, but even if I do, I still have a smile on my face.

Since Eunuch Huang and Zuo Zi were willing to speak about this, then if Zuo Dong was talking about other things, then he would look down on Eunuch, so he might as well speak out loud. Now that my western army is being held back by the northern army, it's impossible for something to go wrong if there's something going on inside, so I thought if Eunuch Huang could tell the emperor about this, then Eunuch Huang also knows that Murong Xiu actually dared to do something like this.

"Prime Minister's words are a bit shocking, right? Why is the Prime Minister so sure that the Regent has the intention to rebel? Besides, Military Advisor Zhuge died in his own army camp. This matter still needs to be investigated." Eunuch Huang said noncommittally. Although his status was extremely high, he was still concerned for the imperial family. He knew that Zuo Qing had always been against Murong Xiu, and now he knew that he wanted to move to him.

In reality, Eunuch Huang also knew that he could not allow himself to be implicated at this moment, or else he would be in great danger if Bei Yue took the opportunity to come to his place. Therefore, he absolutely could not help anyone, and Eunuch Huang also knew in his heart that Zhuge had always been on the same side as Murong Xiu, and might not believe that Murong Xiu had killed Eunuch Huang, but if one were to say that he had killed Zhuge Feimu, then Eunuch Huang definitely would not believe it. However, he still had to speak properly when he moved to the left.
