Chapter 2010: Finale
In the imperial court of Longyan Country, the ministers who were attending morning court suddenly received a piece of good news. The Defender General had intercepted 50,000 enemy troops and won a complete victory. Our side had only lost 200 soldiers.
“Good, good, good!” Upon hearing such good news, the old Emperor immediately said ‘good’, his face beaming with joy!
The officials in the court were also extremely happy.
No one had expected that the first battle would be fought so beautifully.
“The Defender General is so powerful!”
” As soon as the Defender General stepped out, he defeated the enemy. It’s really satisfying!”
..
While everyone was praising Jiang Zhennan, the old Emperor felt exceptionally puzzled.
According to the schedule, Jiang Zhennan would not reach the military camp so soon.
However, based on his fighting style, it was definitely Jiang Zhennan.
So, what was going on here?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the soldier who reported raised a letter in his hand and said,” Your Majesty, this is the letter that the Great General has submitted to Your Majesty!”
“Hand it over!” The old emperor said in a dignified manner.
When the old Emperor opened the letter, apart from the content of the battle, Jiang Zhennan also told him how to return to the military camp. He rode Big Black and Little Black back on the mountain road.
Although there were cases where the emperor went out to war, wasn’t that when there was no other way?
The Emperor’s face sank, and he was filled with displeasure. He looked at the discussions of the officials below and did not say a word.
However, these ministers were completely unaware.
Eunuch Zhang, who was serving at the side, saw the Emperor’s expression and immediately cried out in his heart.
Then, he coughed to remind the ministers that the emperor was unhappy.
Returning to the royal study, the Emperor sat on the dragon chair. After pondering for a moment, he said to Eunuch Zhang,” Eunuch Zhang, grind the ink!”
“Yes, sir!” Eunuch Zhang immediately replied and quickly went to grind the ink.
After grinding the ink, Eunuch Zhang immediately prepared the Xuan paper.
The Emperor began to write. A moment later, he was done.
After drying the words, he folded them and put them in an envelope. Then, he called a secret guard to deliver the letter to the Crown Prince!
The Crown Prince led a hundred thousand soldiers to the military camp at the border.
However, when he heard that Jiang Zhennan was already in the military camp, the Crown Prince was truly surprised.
He knew very well that Jiang Zhennan had accompanied Lin Yuelan to the Black Clouds Kingdom. It would take some time for them to return to the military camp.
Therefore, his plan was to win over the hearts of the soldiers in the military camp before Jiang Zhennan returned. They would follow the lead of the Crown Prince and not Jiang Zhennan.
After all, he was the future ruler of a country. In the future, these troops would be his, not Jiang Zhennan’s.
However, he never expected Jiang Zhennan to arrive earlier than him.
