Chapter 41 – Not a Word Was Incorrect

—

Teng Yun felt that every day, he was more and more unable to read Xue Junliang, as his actions always contradicted Teng Yun’s first impression of him. The more Teng Yun thought he had Xue Junliang figured out, the more he would be surprised.

What did Xue Junliang’s intention in allowing Xue Houyang take Teng Shang along with him? Teng Yun always thought Xue Junliang didn’t want his brother to have a feeling towards a man, let alone a man who came from their enemy country. He shouldn’t want anyone seeing his younger brother as a joke.

Chapter 39 – Spending The Night Outside

Teng Yun blinked, never expecting Xue Junliang would say that, but he knew Xue Junliang was deliberately teasing him.

Xue Junliang watched as the Empress seemed blanked for a moment before she replied with a winning smile, “Since Da Wang doesn’t want to recruit the bandits, then sending soldiers to stop them is one thing you can do. But if you ask me, you’ll have to send eighty to a hundred thousand soldiers to the suburb to successfully apprehend the bandits and therefore making sure the young ladies are able to participate in the Selection.”

Chapter 38 – Fearsome Bandits

—

Hearing Jiang Yu’s report, Xue Junliang’s expression only chilled for a second before resuming his usual calm and poised demeanor and he was back listening to the Empress teaching the Crown Prince.

Jiang Yu was the only one cold-sweating. Today, Xue Wang was in such a good mood because the spy had reported that Feng Wang had arrived at Ming River right on the day Xue Wang’s plan to drown the city was scheduled to happen. But who knew another report came saying they found an official seal somewhere near the city.

Chapter 37 – Official Seal

—

Xue Yu’s action in killing the captive prisoners passed down and into people’s ears. Not only court officials, but also the common people in the entire capital city, were alarmed by the action.

Common people’s minds were always simple, they couldn’t know politic and elaborate intricacies of the Imperial Court. Therefore, if a subordinate acted a certain way, they thought it was according to Da Wang’s order.

In the end of the day, Xue Junliang suddenly became a tyrant who was being scorned by people…

Chapter 36 – Summoning

—

After listening Teng Yun’s strategy and receiving Xue Junliang’s approval, Xue Houyang immediately left to reply Xue Yu and Teng Shang’s urgent report.

Teng Shang, who was still in northern border, was the first to give warnings about the small county. Now that His Majesty had given order, even though Xue Yu was still reluctant, they would have to move to reclaim the county from the enemy.

This strategy would be led personally by Teng Shang. After spreading the rumors for nearly half a month, Teng Shang finally assembled the troops and started towards the small county.
