Brother Shangguan was conferred with the title of General and became Tang Yin's real 'bodyguard'.

After the two brothers left, it didn't take long for both of them to return. Following behind them was Wu Mei.

Seeing Wu Mei walk in, Tang Yin was also very surprised. He asked subconsciously, "Xiao Mei, why are you here?"

Ever since Tang Yin became the king, the sky and earth had become murky from busy, and no one had found the time to look for Wu Mei. In these few days, this was the first time the two of them had met.

Tang Yin was able to keep his cool, but Wu Mei was unable to hold it in. Furthermore, the seriously ill Wu Yu had repeatedly told her to quickly head to the palace to meet Tang Yin. Now that Wu Yu was so ill that he could not even get up, the Prime Minister naturally took the initiative to resign. Tang Yin did not even reject him euphemistically and immediately approved. Wu Yu was no longer the high and mighty Right Prime Minister. In his opinion, the glory and splendor of Wu Family could only be depended on Wu Mei, if this marriage did not work, then the Wu Family would completely decline.

Under Wu Yu's continuous urging, coupled with the fact that Wu Mei himself missed Tang Yin, that was why he took the initiative to head towards the palace. Wu Mei was Tang Yin's fiancee, something everyone knew. Once she entered the palace, the guards didn't dare to stop her at all, and immediately allowed her entry. After entering the palace, there was no one who dared to stop or investigate Wu Mei. The journey was peaceful and quiet except for the study door, where a guard stopped her and did not allow her to enter. These were all Tang Yin's personal guards. Furthermore, Tang Yin had already ordered that no one was to be disturbed inside, so the guards were extremely unyielding.

But the more the guards stopped Wu Mei, the more suspicion grew in Wu Mei's heart, and the more she wanted to see what Tang Yin was actually doing inside. The more she wanted to enter, the more the two parties argued and the louder the sounds became.

At this time, other than Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and the rest were present in the study, as though they were discussing some important matters, Wu Mei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and calmed down to size Tang Yin up.

Looking at him, Wu Mei couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions in her heart. Back when he had met Tang Yin once, she was at the Hedong realm, and was suffering a terrible defeat at the very moment. Who would have thought that the fallen deserter would actually now become the ruler of a nation?

"What is it? Now that I have become the King, you don't even want to see my face anymore? " Wu Mei was so angry that after Tang Yin became king, not only did he not see, he didn't even send people to summon him into the palace, as if he had forgotten about him.

Hearing that, Tang Yin immediately understood that Wu Mei was angry at him. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "I've been really busy these past two days."

"I'm so busy that I don't even have the time to send someone to greet him?" Wu Mei asked suspiciously.

Tang Yin remained silent. Wu Mei was right, he had been careless.

At this time, Qiu Zhen spoke up from the side: "Miss Wu Mei, since the King has inherited the throne, she has many complicated matters. For the past few days, the King has been trapped in her study and has not slept at all. Go back to where you came from! Qiu Zhen added silently in his heart.

Qiu Zhen's words made Wu Mei's heart tighten, he looked carefully at Tang Yin, although he was still as energetic as before, with his eyes even brighter, but his face had indeed become much thinner. Wu Mei's original anger had instantly turned into heartache. Her eyes were red as he subconsciously pulled on Tang Yin's hand and whispered, "You are already the King, why are you still making yourself work so hard?!"

He couldn't tell that Qiu Zhen's words were more effective than his own thousands of words. Instead, he held Wu Mei's small hand and pulled at his bosom, saying, "I'm fine." With that, he turned and looked at Qiu Zhen gratefully, and said: "Let's end the discussion here!"

Qiu Zhen and the others looked at each other. Since Wu Mei had come, it would be inappropriate for them to stay any longer. They all got up and bid him farewell. Tang Yin waved his hand at them and said, "You two stay behind to continue discussing." After he finished speaking, he first gently pushed Wu Mei aside, then walked over to the table, pointed at the map and said: "What I mean is, one hundred thousand Pingyuan Army attacking Xiaoxia, one hundred thousand Sanshui Army attacking Feng City, and one hundred thousand eagle soldiers leading the charge. With one hundred thousand Directly Subordinate Army at the rear, if the Eagle Army advance is obstructed or if the enemy is surrounded, I can rush over to provide reinforcements as soon as possible. "You can discuss whether my solution is feasible."

After saying that, Tang Yin didn't linger at all as he dragged Wu Mei out of the study.

Only after Tang Yin and Wu Mei left did everyone came back to their senses. According to the King's intentions, for the Hedong, the King had to go out to fight personally!

"This battle is very dangerous. How could the King possibly take such a risk?" Liang Qi frowned, being the first to speak.

Xiao Muqing, Peng Haochu, Gu Yue, Zi Ying, Le Tian, Ai Jia and the rest all nodded, indicating that Liang Qi was right. In reality, Ning Jun's combat strength was extremely strong. The tragic defeat of his Hedong two years ago was still fresh in his mind, and he would definitely not be able to relax during this expedition. If the King went personally, what would he do in the event of an accident?

Qiu Zhen looked at the crowd, sighed, and said: "With my king's bellicose nature, and the great war that concerns the rise and fall of the nation, how could my king not personally go? However, with the King coming in person, the morale of our troops will be greatly encouraged.

Seeing that everyone had a pensive look on their faces, Qiu Zhen said: "We should be happy, because the one we are supporting is a brave, battle friendly and heroic king, far more powerful than a cowardly king who fears death. Generals, what do you think?"

Hearing that, everyone's face became serious, they stood up, and cupped their fists towards Qiu Zhen: "Prime Minister Qiu is right!"

In the past, when Tang Yin wasn't in the army, he would always give the authority to command to Qiu Zhen, which was because he had his own reasons. Firstly, he trusted Qiu Zhen, and secondly, Qiu Zhen had the temperament of a leader, capable of suppressing and controlling the entire situation.

As for Tang Yin and Wu Mei, after they left the study, the two of them headed towards the palace. Shangguan Yuanwu, Shangguan Yuanbiao and many other guards followed behind them from afar.

Wu Mei was the first to break the silence. With a face full of concern and a slight frown, she asked, "Yin, are you going to go participate in the Hedong competition as well?"

Just now, when Tang Yin explained his strategy of attack, he did not mention the word "Hedong", but Wu Mei was not an ordinary Miss Qian Jin, she was actually born into the military, furthermore, she had personally experienced the last battle with the Hedong, so she was very clear of the cities and towns within the Hedong, and as soon as Tang Yin lifted the name of the city, she immediately knew where he was.

Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then nodded his head and said: "That's right, Hedong Region is originally my Feng Country territory, yet it has been forcibly seized by Ning Country for a long time. Any Feng King has the responsibility to take back my Hedong Region." What he said was in all seriousness, but actually, it was not the case at all. Of course, he was not foolish enough to explain his true intentions to Wu Mei.

Receiving Tang Yin's confirmation, Wu Mei frowned even more and said worriedly: "But … Hedong Region are not easy to fight! "

Tang Yin nodded his head, then shook his head and said faintly: "Our army has not been able to win against the Ning Army for too long, and we have high morale, and the Ning Army's forces have not been restored either, so now is the perfect time to send troops to seize Hedong. If we do not fight now, I am afraid we will not have the chance in the future." Pausing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said: "If Ning Country is used as a food production ground, then the bigger the difference between my strength and Ning Country, the bigger the difference in power between the two."

It could not be denied that what Tang Yin had said was true, but on the journey, Wu Mei still had some lingering fear. Are you going to fight yourself? "

"I have to go!" Tang Yin replied bluntly, and said: "You will have the heart of a dying man, and only warriors will not covet your own life! Even though I am already a Feng King, during a great war, I have to live and die with the warriors below me. Only then will I, your soldiers, give up on life and death and fight with your enemies with all your might! "

With Tang Yin like this, it would be hard for others to hate him, but it would be easy for them to fall in love with him. Wu Mei's heart was in turmoil as she subconsciously hugged onto Tang Yin's arm tighter and tighter. Sensing that his sleeves were gradually becoming moist, Tang Yin lowered his head and realized that it was Wu Mei's tears that had dripped onto his sleeves.

Tang Yin was always very helpless towards Wu Mei's tears. Even if he was a piece of steel, he would still be melted by those mere water droplets to the point of twisting his fingers. He bent down, and gently wiped the tears off Wu Mei's face, and asked softly: What are you crying for? "Don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen to me …"

Before he could finish her words, Wu Mei had instead thrown herself into his embrace, and said while choked with sobs: "I'm not crying, I'm just happy, because the person I love is a great hero that can support both heaven and earth."

These words were like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into Tang Yin's heart. Facing such a Wu Mei, he was both excited and ashamed.

"I, am not some hero …"

Tang Yin said in a low voice that even he himself could not hear clearly. He opened his arms and embraced Wu Mei who was in his embrace tightly, not willing to let go even for a moment.

Seeing that, Brother Shangguan and the guards behind immediately turned, their backs facing Tang Yin.

Tang Yin did not pay attention to them, he had not used so much strength, and had already lightly hugged onto Wu Mei's waist. Due to the fact that he had trained in the Spirit realm since he was young, Wu Mei's figure was not short at all. Her body was long and slender and well-proportioned, but in the big and tall Tang Yin's arms, she was as petite as a kitten.

He lifted his eyes and headed straight for the main palace. Tang Yin didn't even think about it as he walked forward with large strides.

Because he had already stayed in the main palace for the night, the female officials had sent many palace maids over. Seeing Tang Yin carrying Wu Mei and walking over from afar, the palace maids all kneeled down and saluted, saying in unison: "Great King!"

Seeing so many people looking at Tang Yin hugging him, Wu Mei felt both sweet and shy in his heart. His head was about to squeeze into Tang Yin's armpit, but he didn't have any intentions of coming down.

Tang Yin's body temperature rose rapidly as he felt the soft body in his embrace. He faced the palace maids kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Open the door!"
