At night, the starlight shone on the Unicorn Forest. It was quiet.
The candlelight in the central tent flickered. Qin Yin's beautiful face was calm. She held the golden scroll with the imperial edict in her hand. She looked at the officials in the tent and said, "Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, and Xiang Yu are all seriously injured. We don't know what the Demon Race is doing. Let's discuss what we should do next."
Su Muyun had just rushed over from Lanyan City. His face was still covered in dust. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I think we should follow the Yihe Nation's strategy to resist the Demon Race."
"What strategy?" Qin Yin was surprised.
"When Long Qianlin led the 200,000 soldiers of the Yihe Nation to guard the Qinling Mountains, Qin Yi ordered the rest of the generals to conscript the people and build a city wall along the Hundred Ridge City. They called it the 'Steel Wall'. They will rely on this wall to resist the Demon Race. After all, we all know that the Demon Race is not good at attacking cities."
"Steel Wall … Steel Wall …"
Qin Yin frowned and repeated it twice. She blinked her eyes, looked at Su Muyun and asked, "Grandfather, are you saying that we can also build steel walls along the banks of Daojiang River and connect the seven great fortresses to defend against the invasion of the Demon Race?"
"Yes!"
Su Muyun nodded. "Your Highness is really smart. You understood it immediately!"
Tang Lan frowned and said, "Your Highness, it is necessary to build the steel wall, but … after all, the Empire has experienced the chaos of the Yihe Nation and the battle of Winter Frost City in the past three years. The national strength has long been reduced to half of the strength of the Radiant King. The construction of the thousand-mile steel wall will consume a large part of our national strength and people's strength."
Su Muyun replied, "Your Highness, this old subject has already asked the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to calculate the cost. To build an eight-hundred-kilometer-long steel wall, it will cost around 500 million Jinn Coins. This is indeed a large number, but … as everyone knows, the Seven Seas Province and Cloud Province have not experienced any wars for decades, so they are very wealthy. The treasuries in the various places are also very abundant. Therefore, this old subject believes that the Seven Seas Province and Cloud Province will each spend 200 million Jinn Coins, and Lanyan City's national treasury will spend another 100 million Jinn Coins to recruit people to build the steel wall."
Qin Yin nodded with a smile that refreshed one's heart. She raised her head and said, "Duke Lan, the empire is on the brink of life and death. There's no room for so many misgivings. I believe Duke Lan won't be stingy, right?"
Tang Lan cupped his fists and said, "If Your Highness decides to build the steel wall, this old subject will naturally not object. 200 million Jinyin coins will be shipped to the capital when Your Highness needs it."
"En!"
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Then it's decided. I will immediately draft up an edict to call on the people of the empire to actively participate in the construction of the steel wall. As for the funds and other details, I will leave them to Grandfather and Duke Lan to handle."
The two dukes bowed in unison. "This old subject obeys Your Majesty!"
"That's good."
Qin Yin stood up, tied the belt of the empress's cloak, and said, "It's very windy at night. Both dukes, don't catch a cold. I'll go take a look at the injured Brother Yu."
"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
…
Zhang Wei, Wei Chou, and the rest personally led their men to follow Qin Yin and protect her. When they arrived outside of Lin Muyu's tent, Qin Yin stopped, turned around, and said to everyone, "All of you will stand guard outside. No one is allowed to enter without my orders."
Wei Chou cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Wei said, "Your Majesty, the wind is strong at night, and the sounds in the tent can't be heard clearly from outside. Your Majesty need not worry!"
Qin Yin couldn't help but blush. "Sir Zhang Wei, do you want to continue working as a corporal?"
Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "This lowly general doesn't dare, this lowly general won't speak anymore! This lowly general will go on night patrol, and the safety here will be handed over to Sir Wei Chou, hehehehe … "
Qin Yin looked at him helplessly. Zhang Wei was such a person. He was extremely upright, but he was also an extremely loyal general. From the chaos in Lanyan City until now, everything had been proven.
Qin Yin opened the tent door and walked in. She turned around and sealed the door to prevent the cold night wind from blowing in.
Lin Muyu lay quietly on the bed. There were injuries all over his body. QianFeng's wind attribute martial arts were extraordinary and too strong. It was already very fortunate that he was able to survive that storm.
The people from the Spiritual Medicine Department had already finished dressing his wounds. At this time, Lin Muyu was sleeping soundly, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. It was unknown what he saw in his dream.
Qin Yin smiled sweetly and gently held his hand. It was as if as long as he was by her side, her heart would be at peace.
Not long after, Qin Yin fell asleep on the side of the bed.
When Lin Muyu woke up, she saw Qin Yin lying beside her. There was a faint smile on her beautiful face, but it was unknown what she was dreaming about. Her hair brushed past her cheeks, and her long eyelashes trembled lightly.
She had once been the pearl of Qin Jin's palm and was doted on by everyone. But now, she had to shoulder the heaviest burden in the world. When the Empire was torn apart, Qin Yin ascended to the throne, and very quickly, a tribulation that would last tens of thousands of years — the demon race descended from the heavens. It was unknown whether the heavens doted on Qin Yin or mistreated her.
Lin Muyu gently touched her face with some heartache. Instantly, Qin Yin slowly woke up. She opened her bright eyes and looked at Lin Muyu. She smiled and said, "You're awake?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu smiled lightly. "Why did you fall asleep just like that? If you're sleepy, you can go back to sleep."
"No, I want to stay here," Qin Yin said with a pout.
"Okay, then I'll stay here."
Lin Muyu stretched her arms and felt the wounds all over her body quickly healing. This should be the healing power of the Profound Spirit Ruler. After all, even the best medicine wouldn't have such a shocking healing speed.
"Xiao Yin, is there any news from the demon race?"
"No, we don't know if QianFeng is dead or not."
"He won't die." Lin Muyu smiled slightly and looked at the big tent. "My Seven Glorious Stars Transformation isn't enough to kill him, but it should be enough to make him lie in bed for seven or eight days."
Before he fainted, he saw QianFeng's miserable state. Countless stars bombarded QianFeng's body. Even if he didn't die, he would still be half dead! If he had even twenty percent of the power of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, then the power of the Seven Glorious Stars Transformation would be on a completely different level. If QianFeng were to take a full set of the Seven Glorious Stars Transformation, he would definitely die.
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "I don't know when this calamity will come to an end … Grandfather suggested building a steel wall along the Daojiang River to protect the empire's territory. I've already agreed. It will cost about five hundred million Jinyin coins."
"En, that's fine."
A trace of passion appeared in Lin Muyu's eyes.
"Yu, what are you thinking about?" Qin Yin asked with a smile.
Lin Muyu was startled. She looked deeply at her and said, "I'm thinking about when we can no longer be so passive. We can kill our way back to the Winter Ridge Province and the Clear Sky Province and reclaim the land that the demon race has occupied."
"This … it will still take a long time …"
"En." Lin Muyu nodded and said, "The combat power of the Armor Demon Legion is too strong. If we can't defeat them in positional warfare and field warfare, it will be almost impossible to reclaim the two eastern provinces. By the way, is there any news from the Yihe Nation? How is the battle between Long Qianlin and the demon race going? "
"There's no result yet. The battle in the Qinling Mountains is in a stalemate. The demon race can't cross the Qinling Mountains, and Long Qianlin can't break through the demon camp. However, it is said that the Yihe Nation in the Lingnan has suffered serious losses. That so-called commander, Qin Yi, is issuing edicts to recruit new soldiers from all over the Lingnan region. It seems that Qin Yi is also very afraid of the demon race."
"That's natural. The demon race is ferocious, and the people of the Yihe Nation are still human."
Lin Muyu looked at the beautiful empress and couldn't help but feel restless. She smiled and asked, "How many people know that you have come to my camp?"
"Almost everyone knows that Wei Chou is guarding outside the tent. I have said before that no one can come in without my order."
"I see …"
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Then, Xiao Yin, take off your boots and come to my side?"
"Yes …"
Qin Yin blushed. After taking off her boots, she took off the empress's robe and sat in front of Lin Muyu with only a thin dress. She blushed and asked, "And then?"
Lin Muyu's heart was beating so fast that she couldn't help but talk nonsense, "Why does it feel like a young couple is secretly getting a room? My brain must be fried …"
Qin Yin giggled and asked, "That … What does' getting a room 'mean?"
"That's right, how do I put it …" Lin Muyu racked her brain for a way to explain this embarrassing thing. After a while, she said, "It's a healthy and happy way for a couple to express their love by feeling each other's breathing and heartbeat, feeling each other's joy according to the rhythm of their emotions."
After saying that, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Motherf * cker, to describe something like sex in such a poetic way, I am indeed a genius!"
Qin Yin, on the other hand, was confused, but she still blushed and said, "Then … Then let's give it a try? How do we feel the breathing and heartbeat? How do we make our emotions move? Do we … do we use our martial soul? "
"Don't …"
Lin Muyu hurriedly said, "Don't use your martial soul. This military bed of mine was shipped from Cangnan Province at a high price … If we use our martial soul, it will probably fall apart …"
Qin Yin giggled and opened her arms to hug her beloved. She placed her face on Lin Muyu's chest and said, "Promise Xiao Yin that you will never leave Xiao Yin, okay?"
"Yes, I will obey your orders …" Lin Muyu smiled and looked at her.
Qin Yin's beautiful face became rosier and more enchanting. She couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart and slowly raised her face. Her red lips deeply imprinted on Lin Muyu's lips.
Hugging Qin Yin's soft and hot body, Lin Muyu felt that she was the happiest person in the world at this moment.
…
"Dong dong dong dong …"
The sound of war drums suddenly came from outside. Lin Muyu and Qin Yin, who were kissing passionately, were shocked. After separating unwillingly, Qin Yin blinked and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either …"
