C523 Anger and laughter

"Crash!"

The sound of things falling to the ground rang out from a grand hall. If someone was standing outside the hall, as long as they raised their head, they would be able to see that the name on the plaque of this grand hall was' Imperial Study '.

"Scram, all of you scram!" "All of you, scram!" The angry roar was accompanied by hysterical indignation and a faint sense of worry. It was so much so that anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was venting an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"His Majesty redemption!" Following this furious roar, all of the eunuchs and maids nearby kneeled down immediately. Their heads were pressed against the ground and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, as if they were suppressing the immense fear in their hearts.

"All of you can leave!" "Tell the guards outside, no one is allowed to approach within fifty meters." A slightly aged voice sounded out at an inopportune time, commanding the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids in an imposing manner.

Watching the eunuchs and palace maids leave one by one, the man dressed in the bright yellow dragon robe did not say anything to stop them.

"Your Majesty, even if you're in a bad mood, there's no need to vent your anger on these servants. This will damage Your Majesty's image!" The old eunuch who had ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to leave bent over to pick up the imperial reports, speaking to the emperor in a slightly playful manner.

"Wei Lao, why are you here!" The emperor's expression eased a bit as he spoke to the eunuch in front of him respectfully.

"His Majesty the Emperor is infuriated in the royal study, how could I, the Minister of Imperial Household, possibly sit still?" When the eunuchs of the Wei Lao felt the respect shown to them by the Emperor, they hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

"It's good that you're here. I was just about to send someone to invite you here!" His Majesty also seemed to know that he had gone too far with his temper just now. However, as the ruler of the kingdom, he was not wrong, even if it was a mistake, it was the fault of others. This was an idea that had been cultivated since the royal family was young.

"I assume that Your Majesty has something to discuss?" Wei Lao laughed, as if everything was within his expectations, and said to His Majesty.

"Indeed, I have something to discuss with you!" His Majesty nodded and admitted it.

"Then could Your Majesty wait a moment longer? Before I came, he had already sent someone to notify the Dean Huangfu. He should be arriving soon!" Wei Lao looked at the direction of the main entrance of the hall and asked the Emperor.

As the leader of the royal family's exclusive intelligence agency, how could Wei Lao's eunuchs not know anything about the outside world? After all, the Dragon Eagle that he controlled had intelligence second only to the Capital Overwatch Council, and the eagle eye amongst the Dragon Eagle was considered one of the elites. In some areas, the eagle eye could even surpass the Capital Overwatch Council in intelligence.

Although the Dragon Eagle was not necessarily the best intelligence agency in the entire continent and his own martial power was not strong, no one dared to underestimate the Dragon Eagle in the Honglong Empire, because to a certain extent, he represented the Imperial Family.

Of course, putting aside this status, just the information provided by the Dragon Eagle was already amazing, otherwise it wouldn't have received such great attention from the previous dynasties.

The eunuchs of the Wei Lao had decisively split the eagle eye team into two parts. One part remained in the Imperial Capital, while the other part was spread towards the north of the Empire, where although the details could not be determined, they were hidden in the north of the Empire. And now, with the sudden appearance of the one hundred and twenty thousand private troops, it was impossible for them to escape the eagle eye's' line of sight '.

Before coming here, the Eunuch from Wei Lao had already predicted that the Emperor would be furious over this matter. After all, this involved his brothers from the same clan, so it was not easy to determine how to handle this matter.

If this matter was dealt with seriously, the people of the world would criticize it. They would think that the Emperor's actions were akin to murdering his brother and killing his brother, which would be greatly detrimental to the emperor's governance. After all, no one liked a heartless Monarch.

If the punishment was too light, and he was completely unable to achieve the purpose of punishing them, wouldn't the Empire fall into chaos if all the other officials followed suit?

This was probably the reason why His Majesty was the most furious and helpless.

The eunuch of the Wei Lao had not been waiting for long when he heard a loud and forceful voice from outside. He asked through the hall door: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Dean Huangfu is waiting outside the hall, do you need to summon him in?"

"Announce!" His Majesty only replied with a short sentence.

The 'Sacred Will is hard to predict', this must be the feeling His Majesty was trying to create!

Dean Huangfu had a big black eye, he quickly entered the main hall of the imperial study and stopped beside the eunuch, then knelt on one knee and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty. May my Lord ?."

"Stop, don't bother with this. Didn't you see that there are only three of us in the hall? "Then let's skip these vulgar rituals!" His Majesty quickly stopped Huangfu Wuji and waved his hand as he spoke.

"Thank you, my lord!" After Huangfu Wuji heard the emperor's orders, he didn't continue speaking. Instead, he cupped his hands together and said four words in a somewhat casual tone while staring straight at the emperor.

"You old bastard!" Alright, you may rise! " His Majesty said with a smile.

"I say, Dean Huangfu, what are you singing about today?" The eunuch from the Wei Lao asked jokingly.

"Sigh, didn't I hear that His Majesty the emperor was infuriated for no reason? I was afraid of offending His Majesty, so I should behave myself." Dean Huangfu replied jokingly as he wiped the 'black circles' on his eyes with his sleeve. It seemed like he had put on makeup after that, as if the dark circles in his eyes were real.

"Come on, I don't have the time to speak with you. Let's get down to business!" When the king saw the dark circles under his eyes, he was stunned and then said in a bad mood. He couldn't help but think that this old courtyard was really fun. He reckoned that he had slept the most soundly these past few days.

"Your Majesty, I presume you want to ask where those one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers came from?" Dean Huangfu asked with confidence.

"That's right. Although the north of the empire is vast, we still want to hide one hundred and twenty thousand troops without you two finding out. That might not be justified!" After all, one third of the empire's annual revenues are allocated to you! This is the answer scroll that you gave me? " His Majesty's expression was solemn, with a strong sense of worry, he asked Huangfu Wuji and the eunuch of Wei Lao.

Reporting to Your Majesty, if the Empire's northern region simply wants to hide one hundred and twenty thousand troops and not be discovered by me and the Wei Lao, that is definitely impossible. But if they were to divide the twelve thousand troops into twelve parts or more, and then hide themselves in various forms of bandits, it would be difficult for us to find them. We might not even be able to determine whether they are a bandit or a private army, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack! Huangfu Wuji said confidently after bowing slightly.

The emperor was not an unreasonable person. He knew that even though he had the eagle eye and the Capital Overwatch Council's intelligence network, it would not be enough to cover all the cities in the huge Honglong Empire, let alone those places that were so deep and full of resources.

It could only be said that this was a type of helplessness. It could also be said that the other side had hidden it too well and had only revealed it up until now.

"Then you should at least tell me, how many of these private armies are there? I don't believe that there's only one hundred and twenty thousand! " The king asked anxiously after a moment of silence.

"This is what I'm going to tell His Majesty next!" Huangfu Wuji replied with a smile.

"It can't be that brat's plans again, right?" His Majesty was startled, but when he saw that Huangfu Wuji did not have any worries, and instead had a relaxed expression, he asked.

"That's right, he wants to recruit tens of thousands of men from the one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers. As for those loyal people who are loyal to him, he should kill them all!" It can be said that these 120,000 people are already his! " Dean Huangfu said slowly.

"Is he planning to negotiate conditions with me?" "He only informed me because he was in his pocket. Is there really no one here to settle this matter?" His Majesty was slightly angry as he spoke.

"Yes, no!" Huangfu Wuji replied.

"Oh? "What do you mean?" The king asked in confusion.

"Right now, the northern Profound Nether Empire is restless. Although they have sent part of their troops to assist them, His Majesty is very clear on their fighting capabilities. It is impossible for them to have any real use!" The Dean Huangfu indifferently repeated.

That's right, their fighting strength is only slightly stronger than the city guards, they are simply not a match for the elite soldiers of the Profound Nether Empire! His Majesty nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's why after that brat transferred a portion of his power, Situ Qingyun felt a lot of pressure!" Huangfu Wuji faintly added.

"What does that have to do with the 120,000 strong army this time?"

"His Majesty should be familiar with the leader of this private army!"

"I know him?"

"Wu Gang!"

"It's him?" How could he ?? "

"At that time, he was just a type of forced choice with no other choice, but now he has the intention to renounce the light and darkness, so our marshal wants to bring him and his men here! As for the rest of the troops, they should be from the loyal faction of the king. With the marshal's temper, I presume he will not leave any survivors! "

"So you're saying that I was worried for nothing? Wei Lao, you know about it too? And these troops, as well as the other hidden dangers within the empire, were all within that kid's expectations? " the king asked incredulously.

Through Huangfu Wuji's words, if the Emperor did not know that it was all Gongsun Zaitian's scheme, he would not need to be the Emperor anymore.

"That's right. Soon, this huge army of one hundred and twenty thousand will be completely wiped out. And from now on, the Surveillance Council will cooperate with the five armies in the north to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the forces! "

"Doesn't that alert the enemy? I'm afraid that with such a grand plan, they would have already run away! "

"This is to drive them completely to the north, because that kid has already designed a burial ground for them at the border!"

"Looks like it's not the time for me to have a headache. Someone will have a headache a hundred times more than I do. As long as I don't do anything and just watch the development of this situation, it'll be enough to vent the anger in my heart. I think that the destruction of these people will make my younger brother spit out blood!" "Haha ?"

The imperial study echoed with hearty laughter for a long time! First, he got angry, and then he started laughing. Perhaps this made those who were paying attention even more puzzled and unable to sleep.
