Universe Storage Box

Because two Rebellion Force had entered the pass at the same time. Naturally, they wouldn't give the things they had robbed to the other party. This was also the reason why both sides wanted to snatch more things from each other. Naturally, they did not have the time to be courteous and reasonable with those people in the city. Their methods were simple and crude.    

Besides, sometimes, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu's men... They want the same family, they want to plagiarize. But in the end... The two parties refused to give in and immediately started fighting. As for the surrounding soldiers, when they saw their own people being beaten, they naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Thus, the chaos became bigger and bigger.    

Fortunately, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu had a meeting before they entered the pass. Furthermore, both sides had already spoken to each other at that time. Now wasn't the time for internal strife. They still had more important things to do.    

Therefore, the disturbance between these two forces didn't last long before it was suppressed by Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu.    

However, although the disturbance had stopped, the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers of both sides had vanished. After all, no one was willing to see them being beaten. Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu also knew that they had chosen to swallow their anger. Therefore, they were only there to appease their soldiers for the time being. They also knew that there would be a battle between them in the future. Although it wasn't now, it couldn't be avoided.    

Therefore, they didn't let their subordinates completely forget about this matter and choose to be friends with their opponents. They only asked their subordinates to endure temporarily and not make a move now.    

As for their subordinates, they naturally understood the meaning behind their own boastful words, so they became even more vigilant towards the other party.    

Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu both knew that there was anger between the two parties. However, they didn't care as long as it wasn't an internal conflict.    

In less than a day's time, the entire pass had been robbed. This was mainly because this place had just been robbed by the Fengjue Country. The people in the entire city either died or were captured. Or they fled far away. These people had just moved here not long ago. There were not many people, and they did not carry a lot of wealth with them.    

This made Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu feel that the army was only temporarily resting in the pass. They immediately came out of seclusion and chased after the escort team. Of course. They left some people behind to defend this pass. After all, they had to return after killing the escort team. If the pass was taken by the Imperial Court and heavily guarded... They would be in trouble.    

On the other side, the emperor who was far away in capital finally received a request for help from the pass.    

"Pa!"    

The emperor slammed the letter heavily onto the table in front of him. His face was gloomy. The officials below were shocked. However... Seeing the expression on the Emperor's face, they knew that the Emperor must be in a very bad mood. Thus, these ministers all lowered their heads. They did not dare to look at the king because they were afraid that the king would be angry. It was all on themselves.    

"Is there no news in this world that can make me happy?!" His Majesty did not notice the expressions of the ministers below. He sat on the dragon throne and roared with a ferocious expression.    

It was no wonder that the king was in such a bad mood. In this period of time, bad news came one after another, and none of them could make him worry.    

First, he suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with the Fengjue Country, and then... In order to quell the fury of the Fengjue Country... He had no choice but to agree to the harsh conditions of ceasefire. Because of this... He had even married his most beloved younger sister to the Fengjue Country. Only the Emperor himself knew that when he made this decision... How angry and cowardly he was... He was so angry that he personally sent his sister away and put her in pain. He was also angry at those ministers who usually bragged about their interests in the great hall. If something really happened, none of them would be able to help him.    

Of course, Minister from the Ministry of Personnel, Wu Yan, was an exception. He had helped him share some of the burden, but it was also limited.    

The emperor was so angry that he didn't know who to blame. When it came to the matter of the Fengjue Country, these ministers seemed to have become mute and didn't know anything.    

Helpless, the emperor could only choose to stop the war in a humiliating manner. Because of this, he was also scolded by the civilians of the Great Lu Dynasty. Saying that he was a muddle-headed emperor, was he a muddle-headed emperor? Ever since he ascended to the throne, he had been trying his best to rule. He wanted to restore the former glory of the Great Lu Dynasty.    

However, there was a problem with the Great Lu Dynasty. Furthermore, it was a huge problem. These problems had been formed for a long time. Even if he wanted to change them... The Fengjue Country seemed to have noticed this point. It didn't give them any time at all to attack them. As a result, the more they lost, the less they would win. Furthermore, he had also spent a huge amount of money and manpower. This also delayed the recovery of the Great Lu Dynasty.    

The Emperor had asked himself that he could be considered a good emperor. For the country, he had sacrificed everything. Now, even his sister had been sacrificed. In the end, he still couldn't get the understanding of others, and he even cursed himself for being a stupid emperor.    

This news was enough to make the Emperor frustrated.    

However, the things that troubled him were not limited to this. That family sending team was not peaceful either. When they were outside capital City, they were attacked. After that, on the way to the outside of the pass... Such attacks kept coming, especially in the vicinity of the Cangling Mountain. It caused the Great Lu Dynasty's escort team to suffer heavy losses, and also made the Emperor stay in his study room. He scolded Lin Yu for being a useless person.    

The Emperor knew the intentions of the Rebellion Soldier. They just wanted to kill Princess Qi and that Lu Yizha. If that was the case... It might affect the ceasefire between the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country. Once the ceasefire was over, he would go and exterminate those Rebellion Force. At that time, their end was coming. Those people from the Rebellion Force... Obviously, they had thought of this, so they didn't want to see this happen. They were trying their best to stop the Great Lu Dynasty and Fengjue Country from fighting.    

What made the Emperor angry was that Lin Yu was also a piece of trash. He had brought so many troops with him, especially the Imperial Guards that he had specially sent over. He was actually defeated by those rebels. Especially in the Cangling Mountain. The losses were even more severe, causing Princess Qi and Lu Yizha to go missing.    

At that time, when he received the news, the Emperor wished he could give the order to kill Lin Yu. Although he married Princess Qi to the Fengjue Country, but... This meant that he did not like Princess Qi and did not care about her anymore. In fact, he still remembered Princess Qi in his heart. However, Lin Yu, this good-for-nothing, had been defeated by those rebel soldiers one after another. Not only did he cause the team to suffer heavy losses, he also caused Princess Qi to be in danger. It would be strange if the Emperor was not angry.    

However, even if the Emperor was very angry with Lin Yu, he couldn't really kill Lin Yu. This was also one of the problems with the Great Lu Dynasty. After so many years of development, some of the major families and powers in the Great Lu Dynasty... They had already deeply rooted themselves in the Great Lu Dynasty. Sometimes, it could even influence the decisions of the country. Although the Emperor really wanted to eradicate these forces, but... After all, these forces had been rooted for a long time. If they were to be eradicated all at once, it would definitely cause a rebound. In fact, if it was more serious... He wouldn't even be able to protect his position.    

Therefore, the emperor could only choose to take things slowly. Lin Yu had made such a big mistake this time. He only scolded him a few times and did not dare to punish him severely. Lin Yu was the outstanding representative of the younger generation of the Lin Family. If he really attacked Lin Yu... The Lin Family would definitely not sit by and do nothing.    

Therefore, not only did the Emperor not punish Lin Yu severely, he even sent some troops over. They were under his command, indicating that he continued to trust him. However... His Majesty did not express anything either, that is... If Lin Yu failed again, he wouldn't let him go so easily. He had expressed this point to the Lin family in the open and in the dark. The Lin Family also knew that it was indeed Lin Yu who did not do well this time. The Emperor had already given him another chance. If... If he still could not grasp it, then he could not blame the Emperor for making a move.    

Because of this, the people of the Lin Family accepted this matter. However, they also secretly sent people to help Lin Yu. They didn't want to see the most outstanding person of their family's younger generation die just like that.    

Initially, the Emperor thought that Lin Yu's defeat in Cangling Mountain was the bad news that had angered him the most recently. However, he didn't expect that he would receive another piece of bad news in such a short period of time.    

Those rebels had actually started to attack the pass.    

One should know that these rebel forces had been causing a ruckus before this. However, they had only occupied one area and had not taken down any counties. Therefore, even if there were a lot of people, in the eyes of the Emperor, it was just a small matter. As long as he and the Fengjue Country stopped fighting, then he would free up his hands. It would be very easy to eliminate them.    

However, these rebel forces were clearly unwilling to accept the current situation. They had actually gathered a large number of people and started to attack the city. Furthermore, from the letter, it could be seen that the situation at the pass was extremely dangerous. It could be broken at any time.    

The king once again cursed in his heart that the general of the defending troops was useless. However, he also knew that there were not many defending troops in the pass. Furthermore, his combat strength was not very strong. Plus... The city defense facilities there were also destroyed in the battle with the Fengjue Country.    

Therefore, that place wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
