The sky darkened. Nan Hua's capital, Jiang Capital, was lit up with the lights of thousands of homes.
Nan Hua had been peaceful for hundreds of years. Even with Yin Kingdom in the north, they had maintained a delicate peace. But who would have thought that a war god would appear out of nowhere in Hokuin — Yi Ling?
In recent years, they had attacked the Qiang Di in the north and the barbarians in the west. They had expanded Hokuin's territory to an unprecedented extent. Nan Hua had lost all of its northern territory. Yi Ling's army had already reached the last pass outside Jiang Capital — Dinggu Pass.
The Anqing Emperor stood at the highest point of the imperial city and looked down at the city below him.
The citizens of Jiang Capital were still immersed in the beautiful dream of hundreds of years of peace. They were completely unaware of the approaching danger. Regardless of whether it was day or night, this bustling city was always bustling with noise.
A certain area in the east of the city was especially lively. From afar, it was as bright as day.
The Anqing Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the ball of fire in the distance. He asked in confusion, "Where is that?"
Eunuch Wang, who was following behind him, immediately explained, "Your Majesty, that is the Duke Ding's residence. Today is Princess Pingyang's coming-of-age ceremony."
"Coming-Of-Age ceremony?" An Qingding repeated in a playful tone.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Empress personally went to the Duke Ding's residence to preside over the ceremony. All of the second-rank and above wives went to watch the ceremony." Eunuch Wang told the Anqing Emperor everything he knew. "The women of all the prominent families also sent invitations. It's a grand occasion."
"How can it not be grand? That is Nan Hua's Princess Pingyang," the Anqing Emperor said slowly. His low and hoarse voice hid a subtle hint of mockery.
Eunuch Wang didn't notice his abnormality at all and thought that he was affirming it, so he worked even harder to agree, "That's right, Princess Pingyang is not only the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Gu and the eldest princess of Ning Country, she's also your …"
"Enough!" The Anqing Emperor suddenly cut him off. His eyes were filled with malice.
Eunuch Wang hurriedly fell to his knees and kept quiet, not daring to make another sound.
The Anqing Emperor's gloomy eyes stared fixedly at the ball of fire in the distance. His heart was filled with hatred.
