It was now June.
In another month, it would be July, and the weather would start to heat up.
The war on the Western Front was in full swing.
Several armies advanced side by side, and like a few sharp swords, they had already pierced into the body of Da Qi.
On the Da Qi side, although they were stalling with all their might, and Grand Marshal Kong Zhongda even personally went into battle like an ordinary soldier … they still couldn't stop Da Qi's decline on the battlefield.
The losses suffered in the battle at the Broken Heaven Mountain Range were too great for Da Qi!
It was so great that the whole of Da Qi couldn't breathe. The impact of the death of millions of people was like a continuous rainstorm that hung over the sky of Da Qi, and refused to dissipate.
Especially when the military increased the recruitment of soldiers and food, and the royal family increased the taxes … for a time, the whole of Da Qi was filled with complaints, and the grievances against the war grew.
Although it hadn't reached the point of collapse, if it continued like this, it would be soon.
Kong Zhongda's ability was obvious to all. As the Grand Marshal of Da Qi, he was one of the few famous generals in Da Qi for hundreds of years.
But in the face of the current situation, he was also powerless.
On the side of Da Xia, the most outstanding one was the Third Prince, Xia Hao, who had been reactivated by the Emperor.
After he replaced Fan Wudi and became the main general of the army, he swiftly and decisively dismissed more than ten of Fan Wudi's loyal subordinates. Although he didn't kill them, he removed them from their positions and kicked them out of the army.
This action almost caused a mutiny in the entire army at that time.
But Xia Hao had a good father!
The Emperor sent three Golden Stone realm experts to Xia Hao, and they killed a few of the troublemakers on the spot. He used the most ruthless method to suppress the mutiny that hadn't happened yet.
Then, Xia Hao began to place his own people in the army.
He had also been in the army for many years, and naturally had many trusted subordinates. In just half a month, the army that Fan Wudi had spent dozens of years building … had almost all the higher-ups replaced.
Then, Xia Hao began to vigorously rope in those middle-level and new generation generals!
It had to be said that in terms of status, Xia Hao definitely had the advantage. Because he was a prince!
Because everyone knew that it was almost impossible for Old General Fan to return this time!
Life had to go on. Even though they were extremely dissatisfied with the Third Prince, when faced with his forceful methods and tempting temptations, they could only choose to compromise in the end.
Naturally, Xia Hao did not have such a method, but the strategists around him … did not lack such ability.
As for the Miner Corps, it was somewhat unexpected. No matter how Xia Hao threatened or tempted them, the strongest army of Da Xia only had one attitude.
"It's not a problem for us to cooperate in battle, but you are you, and we are us. Don't even think about roping us in!"
"We are the Emperor's people, not the royal family's people!"
However, this attitude was enough for Xia Hao!
Therefore, in the following battles, he directly led the headquarters and used the miners to open up a path.
This method was shameless enough!
However, it was quite effective!
With the ability of the miners, when they penetrated deep into Da Qi's territory, almost all the battles were settled by Xia Hao's headquarters without them having to do anything.
However, Xia Hao was not Chu Mo. He would not give all the credit to the miners. On the contrary, Xia Hao did not hesitate to give all the credit to himself.
"Although the miners were the ones who fought the battles, the commander and decision maker … was me, Xia Hao!"
Just like that, in the eyes of those who did not know the truth, Xia Hao, the Third Prince, used a very short period of time to successfully forge himself into an invincible God of War!
In addition, the royal family vigorously promoted him, saying that he was an iron-blooded prince and that he had personally led the charge. In an instant, Xia Hao's limelight was unparalleled. He had completely overshadowed Chu Mo, who had previously made great contributions.
All of this was exactly what the Emperor of Da Xia wanted!
He needed a hero of Da Xia that he could completely control, and not a youth that was filled with unknown dangers.
Especially now that this youth had lost his greatest value, and could even bring great trouble to Da Xia.
In that case, the further this trouble was, the better.
However, before that, as the Emperor, he had to put on a good show!
At the very least, he could not give the impression that he was a heartless person.
6th of June, Great Shun!
The capital of Da Xia, Yan Huang City.
Within the royal banquet hall, there was a huge flow of people. Countless nobles of Da Xia were dressed in splendid attire and appeared here, competing with each other for beauty.
In this place, no one had a low status. Anyone who walked out would be a master of their own domain.
However, today, they were all gathered in the royal banquet hall, laughing and chatting. It was a lively scene.
Today, there would be two weddings held here.
The first wedding was the wedding of Old General Fan Wudi, who had made great contributions on the battlefield!
"Old General Fan's old tree blossomed, actually marrying Grand Secretary Xu's long lost younger sister, it really is amazing."
"I don't understand. Grand Secretary Xu's sister is married to General Fan Wudi, and the two families are even closer. But why would he chase Tenth Young Master Xu out of the family?"
"Yeah, I've heard of this as well. The other wedding today is Tenth Young Master Xu's wedding. There... seems to be some mystery behind it...."
"I heard that Old General Fan's wedding is going to be held here, and it was personally approved by the Emperor! The Emperor said that Old General Fan has made great contributions, and is marrying for the first time in his life. Naturally, it has to be a little more lively, and the royal banquet hall will do. All expenses will be covered by the royal family. But Tenth Young Master Xu's wedding... is paying for himself! "
"Paying for himself? What does that mean? Tenth Young Master Xu's status is not low, and he needs to pay for himself? "Some did not understand.
"Tenth Young Master Xu now... is just Xu Fufu, the best brother of Chu Wangmo. He has nothing to do with the Xu family!"
"My God... is this for real? What on earth happened? "
In the banquet hall, everyone maintained a dignified smile, but the content of their conversation was filled with all sorts of curious questions.
Yes, some time had passed, but there was still a lot of fog in the hearts of the people. Most of them could not see clearly.
As for why Xu Fufu had broken off with his family, many people felt that the closest guess to the truth was that all pointed to Xu Fufu's new wife - Liu Mei'er.
She was once the most beautiful person in the world.
