Since Wan Yulin took over the throne, there has not been a single day of peace. There were urgent military reports daily and chaos everywhere, making Wan Yulin extremely frustrated.

“Reporting to the Emperor, Qiu Yongkang, who the Retired Emperor used, has sent an urgent military report. He said he has already persuaded the Northern Barbarian Emperor to send troops to attack Mo City and wants the Emperor to send troops to help destroy the Xiao Family Army in one go.”

Lord Wan handed the emergency military report to the eunuch, who placed it on the dragon table with both hands. ɴovelFɪre.net

“Qiu Yongkang?”

Wan Yulin’s expression changed when he heard this name. Previously, his father had listened to his slanderous words and promoted him to a Rank Four high official so that he could lead troops to attack Mo City. In the end, the troops he brought were utterly wiped out by the Xiao Family Army. If not for the fact that someone had escaped, he would not have known that Qiu Yongkang had tricked him.

Now? Did he think that he was as old and muddle-headed as his father?

“Hmph, ignore him. Continue to declare him wanted by the whole country. I want him dead or alive.”

Wan Yulin waved his hand and threw the urgent military report on the ground. His face was so dark that ink could drip out.

His elite troops had been wiped out, and he had even lost Jin City and Mo City. He wanted to skin Qiu Yongkang alive when he thought about it. ‘This thief still dared to play tricks?’

“Yes.” Lord Wan left on his knees, and the urgent military report was thrown into the pile of waste paper.

At the same time, Qiu Yongkang returned to the Taoist Master’s yurt with a heavy heart. The Taoist Master’s face was painted with oil paint, and outsiders couldn’t see his face. He sat on the chair and looked at Qiu Yongkang with a gloomy expression as if he wanted to tear him apart.

Qiu Yongkang saw the Celestial Master’s expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly lowered his eyes and pretended to be submissive.

” You said that we would win in the attack on Mo City, and you wanted me to tell the Emperor that the gods had declared that we would win. Ultimately, we were all wiped out, General Urhan was beheaded and sent back, and Mo City even issued a challenge letter to the Northern Barbarians.”

The Sage slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Qiu Yongkang’s nose.

The news of Urhan’s head being returned to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom had caused a considerable commotion. Qiu Yongkang was naturally aware of this matter. He was already prepared to be scolded by the Sage. The Sage would first scold him, and only after he was done would he bow deeply and explain himself.

“Celestial Master, this matter was originally foolproof. You also know that there were many reports of success before, but it was unfortunate that Su Qing returned, so all our efforts were in vain. I already have a brilliant plan. We only need to wait a few days. The Emperor of the Central Plains will send troops to clean up Mo City. Let them fight first. When they are both injured, we will sit back and reap the benefits.”

Qiu Yongkang’s words were like a glib tongue, but the Sage no longer believed him. He looked at him coldly and waved his hand,

“Men, take him down.”

“Heavenly Teacher.”

Qiu Yongkang panicked. ‘Was he trying to make him a scapegoat?’

“Take him to the palace and say he is spreading heresy.”

The Celestial Master waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to take Qiu Yongkang away. He regretted saving this person and even more regretted listening to his words to encourage the Emperor to attack Mo City. Now, the Emperor was furious and scolded him. He hated Qiu Yongkang to the core.

“Celestial Master, you were the one who said those words to the Emperor. If you heard those words from a commoner like me, would the Emperor still believe you in the future?”

Two Northern Barbarian soldiers held Qiu Yongkang’s arms down. He struggled to look at the Taoist Master to fight for his last chance.

“You…”

The Celestial Master was infuriated by Qiu Yongkang’s provocative words. He really couldn’t hand over Qiu Yongkang. If the Emperor discovered that there was no such thing as destiny and that he had made it up based on Qiu Yongkang’s words, his position in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom would be in danger.

The Sage looked at Qiu Yongkang with a dark face and sneered,

“Hmph, do you think that this is enough? I won’t hand you over to the Emperor, but I can kill you without a sound. It just so happens that I still lack a medicine man to be the medicine primer for the pills I’m refining. You’re so cunning and can be used as the medicine primer.”

Qiu Yongkang said calmly to the Celestial Master,

“Celestial Master, I have something to say to you in private. Please dismiss your subordinates first. If you still want to kill me after hearing what I have to say, I will jump into the pill furnace myself.”

“Alright, you guys go out.”

The Celestial Master thought of Qiu Yongkang’s killing weapon and wanted to hear what he had to say, so he waved his hand and dismissed his soldiers.

Qiu Yongkang walked over and closed the felt door. The Taoist Master sat on the animal skin chair and looked at him, wanting to see what other tricks he had up his sleeves.

“It’s like this. I have something important to tell you…”

Qiu Yongkang walked up to the Celestial Master and cupped his fists. The Celestial Master frowned and asked him to speak louder, but Qiu Yongkang took a few steps forward. The Celestial Master felt dizzy and wanted to call for help, but he could not resist and fell on the table.

While Qiu Yongkang was stirring up trouble in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, Su Qing brought Zhong Yong and the rest back to Mo City. Wuna Ziyan brought back the map of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom’s borders. Su Qing had Xiao Qi’s map of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom from Mo City. With these two, there would be no obstructions.

Su Qing returned to Mo City and handed the two maps to Xiao Zeyu. Yelu Chun was full of admiration for Su Qing.

“Madam, you’re amazing. You got the topographic map of the Northern Barbarians after going out for a walk. If anyone wants to be your enemy, they’ll be asking for death.”

“Ha, you know this saying?”

Su Qing found it funny when she heard this. ‘The long-lived old man was tired of living.’ This was a folk proverb. The Third Prince of Tartan could say a proverb?

“Haha, I know a little.”

Yelu Chun laughed loudly. He used to go to the Central Plains to find famous doctors for his mother and often heard ordinary people say proverbs. Yelu Chun had always been interested in the culture of the Central Plains, so he had learned some of these sayings because he found them fun. Today, he put what he had learned into practice, which amazed Su Qing. He was a little proud.

“I want to catch the Northern Barbarians off guard tonight.”

Su Qing and Yelu Chun joked before she returned to her cold demeanor and began to discuss military matters with Xiao Zeyu in a severe manner.

“Alright, let’s eat now. After we eat, we will send some soldiers to attack the Northern Barbarians. I want them to know how powerful the Xiao Family Army is.”

Xiao Zeyu agreed with Su Qing’s suggestion. Since they already had the map, they should not delay any further. Otherwise, if they waited until the Northern Barbarian Kingdom was ready to attack, the price of casualties would be too high.

This was a chance to show off. Yelu Chun hurriedly said to Xiao Zeyu,

“It just so happens that my soldiers are also outside the city. They can help Brother Xiao destroy the Northern Barbarians.”

Yelu Chun sincerely offered. Refusing would hurt their brotherhood, so Xiao Zeyu nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Xiao Zeyu seemed very happy to agree to Yelu Chun’s request, he couldn’t help but look outside. Xiaoying hadn’t come in after delivering the tea. He wanted to tell her he would help her big brother fight.

Su Qing saw that the two brothers had already discussed this. The Tartan soldiers were brave and good at fighting. They could destroy the Northern Barbarians tonight by working together with the Xiao Family Army. She said to Xiao Zeyu,

“There’s no time to lose. Send out the troops now. We’ll drink the celebratory wine when we come back.

“Alright, gather some soldiers and destroy the Northern Barbarian Kingdom tonight..”
