Twenty miles to the west of the Canglin Valley, there was a spacious open field in the woods. Flags were flying in the air. After the war, the army of the empire was resting here. There were more than a hundred barracks for wounded soldiers. Staff and vehicles of the Elixir Department from Cangnan Province came here in an endless stream, bringing a large number of medicines and supplies. Abundant supplies were the most important factor for the empire to contend with the demons.
"Woo …"
In the camp, the howling of the Blazing Black Tortoise came from afar. It was the wounded Blazing Black Tortoise in the last war.
Lin Muyu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, Fengxi and others were patrolling in the camp, inspecting everything. Although there were nearly 150,000 soldiers in this camp, the real fighting force was only that of the Longdan Army Camp. The God Might Battalion and the Iron Blade Army had suffered heavy losses and could no longer fight for the time being. The most tragic one was the corps led by Su Long. Only a few hundred of them escaped along the Rice River. The rest of them were all killed. This was the most tragic battle since the destruction of Winter Frost City!
Looking at the Blazing Black Tortoise being treated by Chu Yao in the distance, Lin Muyu's tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed a little. She walked forward and gently stroked the shell of the Blazing Black Tortoise. She smiled and said, "Sister Chu Yao, you can even treat spirit beasts? You're almost a vet … "
Chu Yao glanced at him grumpily. She didn't stop applying medicine on the Blazing Black Tortoise. She smiled and said, "Yu, the front army is so busy with the war, but you still have time to joke with me here."
"No matter how fierce the war is, we can't lose our mind." Lin Muyu smiled and patted on Chu Yao's shoulder. She said, "Sister Chu Yao, you go on with your work. I'm going to the meeting."
"En, go ahead!"
Just as Chu Yao had said, Lin Muyu was extremely busy right now. After inspecting the campsite, she immediately led Situ Sen, Fengxi, and the other generals to the headquarters. After entering the tent, Qin Yin, Su Muyun, Zhen Yifan, Luo Xin, and the others were already waiting.
"Yu is here."
Qin Yin smiled faintly and said, "Come quickly, I've been waiting for you."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu walked up and noticed that the flags on the sand table had changed. She pointed at the purple flag outside Hundred Ridge City and said, "Whose army is this?"
"I don't know, His Highness has just placed it here," Luo Xin replied.
Zhen Yifan, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Your Highness, the war is already at a stalemate, so why don't you tell us some things? Although we are all old men, we can at least provide Your Highness with some information."
"En." Qin Yin nodded and said, "First of all, Xiao Yin would like to apologize to everyone here. I sent Xiang Yu to contact QianFeng without everyone's permission to plot against the Yihe Nation."
"Ah?" Lin Muyu was stunned. "Xiao Yin, you contacted QianFeng?"
"Strictly speaking, it was Commander Xiang Yu who contacted QianFeng." Qin Yin said slowly, "After the army arrived at Five Valleys City, Commander Xiang Yu sent a secret envoy to meet QianFeng and made an agreement to plot against the Yihe Nation together. However, QianFeng is a sly old fox, so he made an agreement with the Empire to feign defeat and the demons to suffer heavy losses to lure the Yihe Nation to send out their troops. However, he didn't expect it to really happen. The Empire's situation was very tragic, and Big Brother Yu took advantage of the situation and defeated the Thunder Rush Army in the Demon Fall Valley. "
Zhen Yifan was stunned and said, "If it was a demon who plotted to lure out the Yihe Nation's army, this move was too sinister. If Commander Yu didn't defeat the Thunder Rush Army, then even if the Yihe Nation sent out their troops, the demons would be able to easily annihilate them. Then, they would direct their troops at the Empire. At that time, the humans would probably not have any more chances."
"No."
Qin Yin looked straight at Lin Muyu and said, "Big Brother Yu spent so much money on researching new weapons, I believed that he wouldn't disappoint me. Therefore, I bet that Big Brother Yu would be able to defeat the Thunder Rush Army! He indeed didn't disappoint me. He established this unparalleled achievement and directly annihilated the Thunder Rush Army! "
Lin Muyu was a little speechless. "You should have told me about this in advance …"
"I know, I'm sorry …" Qin Yin pouted and acted like a spoiled child.
"Alright, alright …"
Lin Muyu nodded and felt a wave of irritation in her heart. If everything was single-handedly manipulated by Qin Yin, then … it meant that Qin Yin knew that Su Long's army, the God Might Battalion, and the Steel Blade Army would suffer heavy losses or even be annihilated. However, she still tolerated all of this. Unknowingly, Qin Yin seemed to have learned such trickery. However, Lin Muyu didn't know whether she was happy or depressed. Such a Qin Yin was a qualified ruler, but she was no longer that innocent girl.
"Now, let's talk about what to do …" Su Muyun frowned and said, "QianFeng's two hundred thousand soldiers surrounded Ji Yao's two hundred thousand elite soldiers and massacred them in Cang Lin Valley. This is already the second day, I'm afraid that less than half of Ji Yao's two hundred thousand elite soldiers are left. What should we do now, take the initiative to attack, or …?"
Zeng Yifan relaxed his brows and said, "This old official heard that the Demon Race has used a new type of soldier called the Flying Snake. It's huge in size and extremely destructive. These Flying Snakes are the biggest reason why the Yihe Country was defeated so quickly. Most of the soldiers we have now are injured soldiers. Once the Demon Race annihilates Ji Yao's army, how should we respond? As far as I know … Commander Yu has already ordered the destruction of the one hundred Magic Crystal Cannons. Without these weapons, we are no match for the Demon Race. "
"Don't worry, Divine Marquis."
Lin Muyu pressed her palm on the edge of the sand table and said with a smile, "Two days ago, Qin Zi Ling sent me a letter. The new batch of Magic Crystal Cannons has already been transported by the waterway of Dao River. If it's not today, then it'll arrive tomorrow. I've already sent Wei Chou to lead five thousand people to the waterway to welcome them."
"Oh? That's great! "Zeng Yifan said with a smile," Where does Commander Yu plan to fight the Demon Race? "
"Everyone is tired, so there's no need to go too far."
Lin Muyu stamped her feet and said, "This is a natural battlefield. Why do we need to give up what's close at hand and seek what's far away?"
"Ah?"
Qin Yin stared blankly, "Are we going to fight the Demon Race on the plains?"
"En." Lin Muyu looked at her and said, "No matter how strong the QianFeng Army is, eating up Ji Yao's two hundred thousand elite soldiers will definitely hurt their muscles and bones. Moreover, the Demon Race has always thought that we humans are good at tricks and are unwilling to fight them on the plains. This time, we'll rely on the Magic Crystal Cannons to fight them on the plains. Xiao Yin, you sent Xiang Yu to Bai Ling City. Do you want to take advantage of the fact that Bai Ling City is empty and take over one of the seven famous cities on the continent? "
"En, as long as we capture Bai Ling City, it's equal to defeating half of the Yihe Country."
"I hope Xiang Yu succeeds." Lin Muyu sighed softly and said, "Situ Sen, Situ Xue, immediately dispatch the Longdan Army Camp to the open space in front of us and prepare to fight the QianFeng Army."
"Yes, Commander!"
"Everyone, disperse."
"Yes!"
Everyone left one after another. Soon, only Qin Yin and Lin Muyu were left. Qin Yin stood there in a daze. She knew that Lin Muyu definitely had something to say, so she looked at him and said, "Do you blame me for being ruthless?"
"I don't."
"No, you do." Qin Yin looked at him with a gaze as sharp as a sword and said, "You've never lied. Everything is written on your face. I know you blame me, blame me for being such a scheming woman."
"Su Long, there's no need for you to die. The Divine Might Battalion is loyal to the empire, so there's no need for them to pay such a huge price," Lin Muyu looked at Qin Yin and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. She murmured, "Xiao Yin, you've changed."
"Yes, I've changed."
Qin Yin looked at him in a daze. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist and tears were swirling in her eyes. She said, "I really hope that the person in front of me isn't me, but it is me. My body is already stained with blood, but I don't regret it."
She bowed slightly and took out a golden wooden tablet from her bag. It was Qin Jin's memorial tablet.
"You … Xiao Yin …" Lin Muyu was dumbfounded.
Qin Yin's expression was calm as she placed Qin Jin's memorial tablet on the table. She slowly knelt down and looked at Lin Muyu with tears streaming down her face. "Do you think I wanted to do all of this? But Big Brother Yu, do you remember how Lanyan City was breached? Do you remember how Muyu City and Seven Seas City refused to send troops and caused the deaths of Chu Huaiyin, Qin Lei, and so many others? The feudal vassals all had ulterior motives, but when the empire was in danger, they still had the strength to protect themselves. Shouldn't these traitors and traitors be punished? "
As she spoke, Qin Yin stood up and raised her hand. A golden ice crystal pierced through the air and pierced through the tent. The drizzle fell from the sky. Qin Yin raised her long neck and allowed the drizzle to fall on her face. She closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I didn't want to bear all of this, but Su Muyun and Tang Lan put me on the throne. They wanted to turn me into a puppet for power. Do I have a choice? I hope that this rain turns into thousands of swords and knives and turns those traitors and traitors into mincemeat! "
Qin Yin sobbed continuously, and her face was full of desolation.
All along, she had shouldered too much, but no one had ever understood her. Everyone thought that the empress was above everything, but they didn't know how much humiliation and indignation Qin Yin had suffered. In the future, everyone would scold her for being vicious and merciless, but no one would criticize the feudal vassals who ignored the survival of mankind and put their own safety before anything else. People were always like this. They were deceived by the illusion in front of them and thought that everyone should be as pure and holy as they thought they were. They never understood the pain and struggles of others.
…
Lin Muyu silently walked forward and gently hugged her. She caressed her drenched back and said, "In the future, let me do these kinds of bad things."
Qin Yin's shoulders trembled as she wailed in Lin Muyu's arms. It was as if she wanted to turn all of her grievances and unhappiness into tears.
…
After a while, Qin Yin raised her head and looked at Lin Muyu with her red eyes. She wiped away her tears and asked, "Will you still love me?"
"Yes, I will always."
"Including … I will do another bad thing, a bad thing that will let Xiao Xi down."
"Ah?" Lin Muyu was puzzled. "What bad thing?"
"Xiang Yu is about to take over Bailing City. He secretly ordered Tang Lan to lead 10,000 troops to reinforce and defend Bailing City. During this era, the empire will govern Bailing City."
"This …"
Lin Muyu pondered for a while and said, "Tang Lan has ulterior motives. He ordered Tang Lu to lead 300,000 troops and wait for an opportunity. Indeed, he deserves to die. Moreover, if Tang Lan doesn't die, the Seven Seas Province will never be able to be pacified. As the empire's ruler, you should have this kind of courage. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. If you want to hold a rose, you must bear the pain. Just do it. This time, I support you!"
"Yes!"
