Chapter 400 Repelling Tigers and Devouring Wolves

Chen, Jinling City, Changle Palace.

Chen Xuanji, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, stood high in the hall.

Your Highness, civil and military officials are separated on both sides. Only one person wore a purple robe and sat at the head of the right side. He lowered his eyebrows and looked arrogant.

"Is this news true?" Chen Xuanji looked at the youth kneeling in the hall and asked in a deep voice.

'"This is the news of my brother's life. How can it be false? Li Yulin is so ambitious that he swore to swallow up my Da Chen. Please make arrangements, Your Majesty. Don't give the thief an opportunity to take advantage of it." The youth who was kneeling in the court was in a sorry state. It was obvious that he had just arrived here. At this moment, his tone was pitiful and pitiful.

The man's surname was Chen.

Chen Guo's Chen, Chen Xuanji's Chen.

Single name a Yan word.

The elder brother he spoke of, who had died on the way to deliver this news, was called Chen Yuan.

Their father was called Chen Ping.

Chen Xuanji's uncle, Chen Tingzhu's elder brother.

Chen Ping because of monk led troops not send, withered guarding long martial pass alone, together with the hands of hundreds of thousands of troops died. Only the two brothers, who were only in their early twenties, landed in Jinling City, where the tigers and wolves were looking around.

If the two brothers only wanted to be rich and honorable, Chen Xuanji could of course protect them. After all, they only held the title of a prince. The soldier in their hands had already died in battle. To Munch, such a prince was indispensable.

However, the two brothers had been taught by Chen Ping since childhood. They wanted to sacrifice their lives to avenge their father, so they sneaked into the Xia Army barracks regardless of the persuasion of others. First, they wanted to spy on the military intelligence of the Chen Kingdom. Second, they wanted to make a contribution to the comeback. The news that Xia Chao was preparing to use force again was naturally very important to Chen Country. This was not a small credit, but the elder brother among the brothers could no longer return.

Thinking of this.

It was unknown whether it was because fewer and fewer people could be trusted in his hands, or simply because he was saddened by the news of Chen Yuan's death, or both.

Chen Xuanji's expression became extremely ugly at that time.

"Aiqing, get up. You should retire and rest properly to recover from your injuries. I and the people of Da Chen are still waiting for you to defend the country and open up new territory for Da Chen."

But on the surface, Chen Xuanji was still so relieved.

Although Chen Yan was saddened by his elder brother's sacrifice, he was also a person of general knowledge. At that time, he nodded and was about to retreat.

But at this moment, the purple-robed man who had been sitting quietly on the large wooden chair suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty is right. Little Prince should be able to cultivate his body well, but I don't think we should participate in this war anymore."

To be able to say such a thing in front of this court, in front of this civil and military officials, and even after the emperor had given the order, no one refuted it.

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Chen Kingdom, only Qin King Munch was able to do so.

Chen Xuanji's expression became extremely ugly at that time, as did Chen Yan's expression under the stage.

"The news that Great Xia is going to use force against my country, My scouts got the news long ago, "The two Little Kings insisted on risking their lives, but they didn't know that this passion was good, but it was also good for the place. If they gave their lives, they would be called loyal. However, if they were like a certain King, they didn't know the importance of it and insisted on defending the Changwu Pass, almost destroying our Great Chen Foundation. It wouldn't be good if they left behind a smelly thousand years later." However, Munch didn't seem to see the ugly expressions on the faces of the crowd as he continued to speak on his own.

Although he did not name them, even a three-year-old child could tell that he was referring to the Prince of Fengxing, Chen Ping, who had died in Changwu Pass for his country.

Being humiliated by such a roundabout way, even a mud bodhisattva would have to be furious, let alone Chen Yan, who had been brought to the military camp by Chen Ping since childhood?

At that moment, Chen Yan's face was flushed red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He stood up and was about to curse.

"Royal Brother." However, Chen Xuanji's voice sounded at that moment. "Chen Country, I still need to rely on my elder brother for many places. I hope that you can quickly return to cultivate and recover as soon as possible, so that you can share my worries with me."

Chen Xuanji said this in a very obscure manner. He hoped that Chen Yan would understand that they were no match for Munch at this moment. If he had been angry since ancient times, Munch could have punished him for this. There was no need to doubt that Munch, who was in charge of the Great Chen Military Administration alone, definitely had the strength to do so.

Chen Yan was naturally not a fool. He could hear what Chen Xuanji was saying. At that time, his expression changed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and loosened his clenched fists.

Afterwards, he cupped his hands towards Chen Xuanji and went straight out of the hall.

He didn't dare to stop. He was afraid that if he heard more insults, he wouldn't be able to suppress the anger in his heart.

As Chen Xuanji had said, if Xiao Bu couldn't bear it, he would make a mess. He had to swallow this evil aura.

…

"Why hasn't His Majesty eaten yet?"

Little rain fell on Changle Palace under the cover of night. Yan Yanyan, dressed in a royal robe and phoenix crown, came to the entrance of Changle Palace. She looked at the waiter standing in front of the door in fear and asked softly.

The young eunuch saw that Yan Yanyan seemed to have grabbed onto a straw to save her life. He hurriedly prefaced, "Yes, Your Majesty, the food has already been cooked three times. Your Majesty still refuses to eat it. Do you think that if you are hungry, how can a slut bear it?"

"Alright, I'm here. You can leave." Yan Yanyan smiled and said. She took the steaming food from the servant behind the eunuch and walked into Changle Palace.

On the high platform, the white-haired emperor was frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty." It was only when Yan Yanyan walked over to him and placed the food on the table that Chen Xuanji came back to his senses.

"It's the Empress."

After seeing the visitor's appearance, he forced out a smile and said.

"Your Majesty." "How many times have I told His Majesty that no matter how busy I am, I have to find some time to eat when I have to eat. Otherwise, if my body is exhausted, who should the people of the Chen Kingdom rely on to preside over the overall situation?" Yan Yanyan looked at him with a tender look and picked up a bowl of meat soup from the meal and placed it in front of him.

Chen Xuanji, who originally had a smile on his face, heard this and his expression immediately darkened.

He said in a calm voice, "It doesn't matter if the Chen Kingdom has me or not, Chen Xuanji. The important thing is that Prince Meng. Isn't that good enough?"

Seeing this, Yan Yanyan's face darkened. She put down the meat soup in her hand and said with a depressed expression, "I have heard about the court today." Prince Meng's actions were truly disgraceful, but the more so, the more His Majesty would cherish his body. His Majesty was already talented, so it would only be a matter of time before he reached the Immortal Realm. "Although that wooden carving has monstrous power, it is still over half a hundred years old. How much longer can he live?"

"All His Majesty has to do is wait in peace. When you become an immortal or die of old age, won't this Chen Kingdom still be His Majesty's Chen Kingdom?"

However, this was originally a kind words of persuasion, but in return, Chen Xuanji coldly snorted, "Hmph!"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until that day before I die under the saber of my good uncle."

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven's Will. The people are looking forward to it. Wherever the civil and martial hearts return, even if Munch eats the bear heart leopard's gall, he will not dare to hurt your Majesty's hair!"

"Not only does he dare to move, but …" Chen Xuanji's expression became even deeper. He gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse tone, "He has already done so!"

"Hmm? What does His Majesty mean at this moment?" Yan Yanyan's expression changed as she asked.

"Chen Yan's elder brother used his life to exchange for the news that Great Xia had already begun to mobilize troops, preparing to send troops to Changwu Pass again, and he Munch knew about this news long ago, but he didn't report it… What do you think he had in mind?" Chen Xuanji turned to look at Yan Yanyan with a faint smile.

Of course, he did not expect Yan Yanyan to answer this question. After saying this, he paused slightly and said, "Right now, there are still soldiers and horses in the hands of our royal family in the Chen Kingdom. They are the 30,000 troops led by the Long Gu Kingdom at the Changwu Pass." He concealed this matter and didn't report it. What he wanted to do was to repeat the same trick that had killed King Feng Xing and perform it again. "Let the unknown Long Gu Country die in the battle of Changwu Pass, and then he will lead his Tiger Wolf Cavalry to face off against the Great Xia army. He, Munch, really used this trick of driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf to perfection."

"As long as I am brought to Long Gu Kingdom and die, there will be no more soldiers for me in the Great Chen Territory. At that time, I, the emperor, will remain or be crippled. It is not something that he, Munch, has said."

As Chen Xuanji spoke these words, the murderous aura between his eyebrows grew thicker and thicker. His teeth were clenched to the point of cracking, and a wisp of scarlet color filled his eyes. At this moment, he looked no longer as graceful as the eldest disciple of the Exquisite Pavilion back then. Instead, he looked like a wolf that had been forced to the end of its path and had no way to retreat.

Yan Yanyan's mind was intelligent. Halfway through Chen Xuanji's words, she had already comprehended the hidden killing intent.

"Then what does His Majesty plan to do?" Yan Yanyan frowned and asked.

When Chen Xuanji heard this, the killing intent on his face suddenly subsided. He put on a gentle expression and reached out to hold Yan Yanyan's white hands in his hands. He said softly, "The only person I can rely on now is you."

Yan Yanyan was stunned for a moment, but she soon came to her senses. She cupped her hands towards Chen Xuanji and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty, this concubine will leave the palace to look for your father now. I believe that with my father's methods, I can think of a way to gather a Hundred Battles Master for Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanji smiled and said, "Then it will be hard on the Empress."

Yan Yanyan shook her head, "It's Yan Yan's honor to be able to share the burden for His Majesty."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but right at this moment, Chen Xunji suddenly called out, "The Empress, please pass on a secret decree for me, declare that Chen Yan will avoid my ears and eyes later and enter the palace to meet me."

Hearing this, Yan Yanyan was slightly stunned, but she quickly nodded and left in a hurry.

When Yan Yanyan walked far away, the white-haired Chen Xuanji leaned against the golden dragon chair in Changle Palace. He reached out and stroked the golden dragon head on the armrest. The expression on his face changed. Finally, he murmured with a gloomy gaze, "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

"Uncle, you have a good method to teach your nephew. Your nephew can only enjoy it for a while."
