One and a half months later, Zhong Shan, Ah Da, and Zhi Huo arrived at a city.
Looking at the word 'Radiance' in front of the city tower, Ah Da was still in disbelief.
Glory City?
Glory City is a Daguang City that was in the hands of Xiao Wang. Now, Mister said that it was his? It can't be, right? In these six months, Shui Wuhen really took down this city?
At this moment, the gates of Glory City suddenly opened.
Shui Wuhen and Zhao Chuan walked out with two rows of generals.
"Welcome back, Marshal!" the generals shouted at the same time. Shui Wuhen was still in a state of excitement.
Zhao Chuan's eyes were filled with emotions.
"En, let's go back and talk!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" the generals replied.
They really took it down? Ah Da looked at Shui Wuhen in surprise.
Glory City, City Lord's Mansion
Zhong Shan sat at the table, listening to the generals report the results of the battle.
"Marshal, the three cities have all been taken!" Shui Wuhen said excitedly.
"It's been hard on you for the past six months!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"It's not hard at all!" Shui Wuhen immediately shook his head.
"Marshal, how did you know that these three cities were defenseless?" Zhao Chuan couldn't help but ask.
Looking at Zhao Chuan, Zhong Shan faintly smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he pointed at Shui Wuhen and asked him to speak. Obviously, he was trying to nurture Shui Wuhen's ability.
"Because after the incident with the Evil Demon, the two defenseless cities, Moon Shine City and Moon Sparkle City, will definitely be fought over by the two armies!" Shui Wuhen said.
"Eh?" Zhao Chuan didn't understand.
"To take down Moon Shine City and Moon Sparkle City, a large number of troops will be needed to take down the two strongholds. As long as the three armies of Daluo are mobilized, the inner cities will definitely be empty. Mister said that Xiao Wang will definitely give up on these two small cities for the sake of the bigger picture. Instead, he will send troops to attack our cities because 'our' troops are all out," Shui Wuhen said.
"Then, Xiao Wang won't take Moon Shine City and Moon Sparkle City?" Zhao Chuan asked in disbelief.
"No, Xiao Wang will gain more if we lose these two cities. At the very least, our White Royal City has been taken by him. Xiang Bu will lose at least two cities. As for Shui Jing, Shui Jing is too far away. He won't be able to capture Xiao Wang's cities in a short time like me. Therefore, he will most likely bide his time, and that Xiao Wang will return empty-handed. As for Shui Jing, he won't lose a single city. "Zhong Shan laughed.
"Commander, you can even guess this?" Shui Wuhen asked in surprise.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan looked at Shui Wuhen in confusion.
"I sent scouts to check on the movements of the armies in all directions. The Water Mirror City is still the same. Xiang Bu's army moved out three months ago," Shui Wuhen said.
"Let's wait and see!" Zhong Shan smiled and nodded.
"Yes!" the generals replied.
"Marshal, someone came to Glory City and said that he was looking for you. I led him to the side hall," Shui Wuhen said.
"Oh? Who is it? "Zhong Shan frowned.
"He doesn't want me to say it!" Shui Wuhen said.
Hearing Shui Wuhen's words, Zhong Shan's brows twitched. Doesn't want Shui Wuhen to say it? That means that he has a lot of authority, so much so that he can order Shui Wuhen around?
"Alright, all of you are dismissed!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" the generals retreated one after another.
Zhong Shan also stood up and walked towards the side hall.
Ah Da and Zhi Huo stood outside the door. Inside the hall, a huge jade table was placed in the middle of the hall. On top of the table, there was a map of the four directions. It was very detailed.
In front of the map, there was a white-clothed woman with her back facing the door. Her back was graceful, and she was tall and thin. The woman was focused on the map. She was incomparably focused.
Beside her, a black-clothed man stood. Ah Er!
When Ah Er saw Zhong Shan enter the hall, he was about to speak.
However, Zhong Shan waved his hand, stopping Ah Er from speaking. Ah Er nodded his head and walked out of the hall.
Looking at the focused back view, Zhong Shan smiled. Princess Qian You!
How could Princess Qian You not notice Zhong Shan entering the hall? When Zhong Shan returned to Glory City, Princess Qian You already knew about it and was in a state of excitement. After not seeing Zhong Shan for so many years, she missed Zhong Shan dearly. Every day, she would simulate what she would say when she saw Zhong Shan and how she would pour out her longing.
However, when Zhong Shan returned and was about to meet her, the intelligent Princess Qian You suddenly lost her wisdom. The Princess Qian You who was full of ideas suddenly ran out of ideas.
She wanted to meet him but didn't dare to!
Princess Qian You's heart was extremely complicated. In the end, she could only take out the map of the four directions and analyze it. However, how could she be in the mood to look at the map at this moment? She could only put on an act. Facing the map, she didn't look at it at all. Her mind was completely focused on what was behind her. Her mood also became slightly nervous.
Zhong Shan seemed to be able to empathize with Princess Qian You's feelings. After seeing Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan's smile never relaxed. It was as if he had forgotten to change his expression.
Zhong Shan didn't walk forward. Instead, he walked to the chair Qian You had been sitting on. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
He picked up the cup and walked in front of Princess Qian You.
"Princess!" Zhong Shan called out softly. There was a hint of gentleness in his voice.
Princess Qian You turned around and looked at Zhong Shan. When their eyes met, Princess Qian You panicked and dodged slightly.
"I, I've waited for you for a month!" Princess Qian You suddenly didn't know how to say the words that were at the tip of her tongue. In the end, it turned into a very straightforward sentence!
However, these straightforward words made Zhong Shan feel a sense of warmth in his heart.
"You've had a hard journey." Zhong Shan handed over the cup of tea.
Princess Qian You accepted it.
After a short moment of panic, Princess Qian You gradually regained her composure and confidence.
"You're going to treat me with this?" Princess Qian You smiled mischievously.
"A cup of tea. After tasting and drinking, the tea is in the water and the water is in the heart!" Zhong Shan said softly.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Princess Qian You's face turned slightly red. She nodded lightly and said, "Mm!"
After not seeing each other for so many years, even if there were thousands of thoughts and words, they were all said by Zhong Shan in a single sentence!
Bitter tea, sweet feelings. There was no need for too many vulgar confessions, and there was no need for too many honeyed words. A cup of tea was sweeter than anything else!
The two of them didn't talk about their own thoughts. Because that was no longer important. Because standing in front of each other was enough. Love needed to be understood. It was a kind of longing, a kind of determination, a kind of realm!
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Every word was emotionless!
Zhong Shan and Princess Qian You sat down and drank. They told each other about their experiences over the years, the difficulties they had faced, and how they had overcome them. Zhong Shan spoke the most, while Princess Qian You listened quietly and patiently. Even if she had already known about these things through her own channels, how could her sources compare to Zhong Shan's words?
Ah Da and Ah Er were waiting outside the hall. Zhi Huo had already gone back to rest. No one dared to disturb them.
"You've reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm?" Zhong Shan looked at Princess Qian You and asked.
"Yes, the Ultimate Emperor Realm. It seems strong, but compared to that Zombie Emperor you met some time ago, it's really …" Princess Qian You shook her head.
"You're sighing just like that? What else can I do? "Zhong Shan smiled.
Hearing Zhong Shan's self-mockery, Princess Qian You covered her mouth and laughed quietly.
"Right, you said that His Majesty gave you ten questions in the past. In the end, I solved the questions about ants crossing the thread and the two questions about how to raise your core into a Nascent Core. What reward did His Majesty give you after you completed them?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Erm, His Majesty said that he allowed me to pick a treasure from his treasury!" Princess Qian You said.
"Treasure? There must be many treasures in His Majesty's treasury. You must have picked a lot! "Zhong Shan smiled.
"Yes, there were many. There were more than ten 9th Grade Magical Treasures. But I didn't pick a lot! "Princess Qian You shook her head.
"Oh? There were more than ten 9th Grade Magical Treasures? You didn't pick a lot? Then you must have picked the best one. "Zhong Shan asked.
"No, I picked an 8th Grade Magical Treasure!" Princess Qian You said.
"Erm?" Zhong Shan was slightly confused.
With a flip of her hand, Princess Qian You took out a small box. She handed it over to Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan was slightly confused, but he still opened it.
After opening it, he saw a vest that was as thin as a cicada's wing. Gently taking it out, the vest seemed to be transparent and emitted a faint glow.
"This is called the 'Glass Heart Armor'. It is an 8th Grade Magical Treasure and can be worn on the skin. It does not have any offensive capabilities, but it can protect the upper body. Especially the Purple Palace area, where the defense is the strongest. Unless a powerful being of His Majesty's level makes a move, no one can harm the area covered by it. The Purple Palace is the most important thing for those who have yet to reach the Body Fusion Stage. If the Purple Palace is destroyed, then that person is finished. I don't care. But you're at the Golden Core Stage now, and the Purple Palace needs protection … "Princess Qian You said.
Holding the vest and looking at Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan did not thank her. He did not need her to thank him. He only nodded his head warmly.
Looking at Zhong Shan's expression, Princess Qian You smiled contentedly.
A month later, Glory City's City Lord Residence. Central Hall.
Zhong Shan sat at the commander's desk while Shui Wuhen kept reporting to him.
"Commander, it's really as we guessed. Xiang Bu obtained Yueming City and Yuexi City, but he lost the other three cities. They were taken by Xiao Wang. Shui Jing is in control of the same number of cities." Shui Wuhen reported.
"Including White Royal City, Xiao Wang obtained a total of four cities. He lost three because of us. Overall, he has one more city!" Zhong Shan frowned.
"No, Commander, Bright Moon City and Rare Moon City are not included. It should be Xiao Wang who lost five cities." Shui Wuhen shook her head.
"Bright Moon City and Rare Moon City? Heh, they're in Xiang Bu's hands now. But looking at the situation, it's hard to say who owns them. "Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Oh." Shui Wuhen nodded. Clearly, she didn't understand.
"Commander, there is a report from the Great Yu Empire. After Yi Yan took over the three armies, the Great Yu Empire has completely stabilized. With the protection of all the armies, Heaven's Equal and the other armies are unable to move forward." Zhao Chuan immediately reported.
"It's been more than half a year. Yi Yan hasn't taken back a single city?" Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's not easy to reorganize the army's morale! It's not easy to stabilize the army's morale in half a year! "Zhao Chuan smiled.
"Give me all of Yi Yan's movements during this period!" Zhong Shan frowned.
Reorganize the army's morale? Zhong Shan didn't believe in that. With Yi Yan's prestige in the Great Yu Empire, he knew about Yi Yan the first time he met him. More than half a year? Hehe, as long as Yi Yan took office and sent a letter to the various cities, the army's morale would be stabilized! How could it take more than half a year?
