The situation in the Zhao Kingdom is dire. Externally, there are powerful enemies at the gates, and internally, the people are suffering. Zhao Wang is well aware of the strength of Xia Kingdom and has specifically sent me to request military assistance from them. If Xia Kingdom agrees to send troops, Zhao Kingdom is willing to cede a prefecture of land as a gesture of goodwill.
Zhao Yue'er spoke earnestly, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible tremor. Upon hearing this, Xia Wang Ye Wenhui's eyes flickered with a glimmer of interest, but it was quickly concealed. Ye Nantian, standing nearby, understood the implications and stepped forward to say, "A single prefecture is rather insufficient. Our Xia Kingdom has only recently been established; mobilizing troops will take time. Moreover, the duration of the war and its outcome remain uncertain."
With that, Ye Nantian held up three fingers. "At least three prefectures."
Zhao Yue'er felt a sinking sensation in her heart. Before she left, Zhao Wang had told her that they could only offer up to three prefectures. Now, Ye Nantian was openly testing Zhao Kingdom's limits by demanding three right off the bat. She took a deep breath and slowly retrieved an ancient wooden sword from her robe. The sword bore mottled patterns but exuded an extraordinary aura.
"This was given to me by Ye Tian many years ago," she said softly. "He once told me that if I ever faced difficulties in the future, I could use this to seek help from the Ye Family Ancestor."
As soon as she finished speaking, deep within the palace's rear courtyard, Ye Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes wide, surprise and helplessness flashing across his gaze. He muttered under his breath, "Damn it, why is this kid being so lenient? Leaving me alone to suffer through this arduous training is unacceptable."
With that thought, he subtly moved his fingers, sending a message across space to Ye Wenhui: "Agree to her request; it will also settle the debt owed to that kid Ye Tian."
Ye Wenhui's head snapped up in surprise upon hearing this. He quickly nodded in agreement and turned to Zhao Yue'er, saying, "In that case, I shall agree."
Zhao Yue'er felt a surge of joy; she hadn’t anticipated things would go so smoothly. Tentatively, she asked, "When will Xia Kingdom send troops for assistance, and who will lead them?"
Ye Wenhui pondered for a long moment before slowly replying, "Three days from now, Xia Kingdom will dispatch an army of one hundred thousand to support Zhao Kingdom. The commanders will be Ye Gucheng and Ye Jing Tian."
Zhao Yue'er nodded gently at this news. "With the strength of both Peak Kings leading them, that should be sufficient."
However, a meaningful smile crept onto Ye Wenhui's lips as he remarked, "Who said they are merely Kings?"
At those words, Zhao Yue'er felt a storm of emotions rise within her—could it be that they were Emperors?
However, she ultimately did not voice her thoughts; her gaze flickered, and her expression was complex.
Leaving the Xia Kingdom Palace, Zhao Yue'er found it difficult to calm her emotions. She had not anticipated that the Xia Kingdom concealed so many Emperor Realm Experts. This level of power was enough to sweep through the surrounding nations.
As she walked back, Zhao Yue'er’s demeanor remained dazed. The leader of the Zhao Kingdom, noticing his master's despondent appearance, had already guessed that the plea for help had not gone smoothly. He hurriedly stepped forward and gently reassured her, "My lord, there is no need to be troubled. Even if the Xia Kingdom does not send troops to assist us, I believe the king can resolve the current crisis."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue'er realized he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "General Wang, you are mistaken. The Xia Kingdom has already agreed to send troops to help us."
General Wang's face showed confusion as he furrowed his brows and asked, "Then why does my lord still appear troubled and worried?"
Zhao Yue'er gently shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of fatigue. "No, General Wang, there is no need for concern. Let us return to the station to rest. In a few days, when the Xia Kingdom sends their troops, we will go together."
With that, she turned and stepped into the carriage, leaving General Wang standing there in a daze.
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, General Wang’s mind was a tangled mess. Deciding not to dwell on it any longer, he turned and followed after her.
