However, they constantly gave Prime Minister Li and many ministers hope. Even Prime Minister Li couldn't help but believe that sending Xuanyuan Zilong out to block the army of five nations was the most correct decision.

"None... There was no news whatsoever. Three days ago, after General Xuanyuan Zilong once again annihilated five million enemy troops, his whereabouts was unknown. The nation's scouts were also unable to find any trace of General Xuanyuan Zilong. " The messenger replied.

Prime Minister Li nodded his head slightly. When Prime Minister Li mentioned this matter in the assembly, he raised an objection, "Your Majesty, there hasn't been any news of General Xuanyuan Zilong for so many days. Did they run into any trouble?" The many ministers couldn't help but reveal worried expressions when they heard Prime Minister Li's words.

Mei Niang shook her head, but did not reveal the news she knew, and only said slowly, "Everyone knows about the Marquis' abilities now, if there's no news then it's good news. Even our scouts couldn't find the Marquis, how could the enemy find him? This can only mean that the Marquis was planning to hide, and probably plotting something with his abilities." Mei Niang did not divulge any news about Xuanyuan Zilong, but displayed infinite confidence in him.

At this moment, another messenger rushed into the main hall. "Report! Urgent!"

"Speak!" Mei Niang's expression remained the same as she spoke in an unhurried manner.

"Yesterday noon, we found General Xuanyuan Zilong and his two million strong army near Sakha City. At the same time, General Xuanyuan Zilong had a fierce battle with the twenty million strong enemy army."

"What!" Prime Minister Li stood up in surprise while the other ministers' expressions changed drastically. As for Wu Meiniang and Wu Mu, they remained calm. They understood their master very well. Since they dared to fight, they naturally had absolute confidence.

But right now, this torch was swaying in the wind and rain. They did not dare imagine what would happen if Xuanyuan Zilong's two million strong army met with the enemy's twenty million strong army.

"What is the outcome of the battle? How much of Xuanyuan Zilong's military might have been lost, is Xuanyuan Zilong injured in any way? " Prime Minister Li disregarded the fact that they were in the imperial court and asked hurriedly.

"The enemy forces have annihilated over seventeen million, over two million enemies have fled, and the losses of General Xuanyuan Zilong ? Losses ? "Everyone sucked in a cold breath when they heard about the seventeen million strong army being destroyed, but when they saw the messenger stutter, their hearts couldn't help but sink.

If General Xuanyuan Zilong's losses are too great, then we humbly request His Majesty to send out the five million troops and the Imperial City Guard Army that have just been recruited. After all, everyone has all witnessed General Xuanyuan Zilong's abilities, even though he has suffered heavy casualties, his battle achievements are even more glorious. Prime Minister Li said.

Your Majesty, please don't do this! Although General Xuanyuan Zilong's ability to lead troops is very strong, those five million new recruits, although their individual cultivation level isn't low, their overall fighting strength might not even be comparable to one million ordinary soldiers. As for the one million Royal City Guards, they are the last pillar of support for the Imperial City. This was a request from an Imperial General that was being rejected by Prime Minister Li.

"Your Majesty, General Xuanyuan Zilong and the two million soldiers under his command were completely unharmed, not a single soldier was injured. At least, when this subordinate received news of General Xuanyuan Zilong's death, this subordinate did not receive any news of their loss." The messenger lowered his head and said.

"What ?"

"How is this possible?" But after thinking about it again, when they fought for the first time, wasn't Xuanyuan Zilong using some kind of strange move to deal with the enemy? He was able to destroy tens of millions of enemy troops without losing a single soldier, could it be that this was some kind of strange move?

Prime Minister Li already did not know how to express the hope in his heart. The three million strong army under Xuanyuan Zilong's command was originally not something that Prime Minister Li and the other ministers had high hopes for. They all felt that although this person was brought over by two princes, he was definitely a disciple of a clan they did not know where.

It was only because of the support of the two Princes and the fact that they seemed to admire Xuanyuan Zilong a lot, coupled with the fact that Wu Meiniang held absolute authority over the position of emperor, Prime Minister Li and the other ministers did not object to Xuanyuan Zilong's being conferred the title of Marquis. They only felt that it was a pity that the three million army had died just like that.

In their opinion, if Xuanyuan Zilong's three million troops were able to annihilate the other party's three million troops in the same amount, and drag out a month's time at the same time, then that would already be extremely precious to them.

It could be said that Prime Minister Li and the other ministers did not hold any hope for Xuanyuan Zilong, and their real hope lay with Prince Wu Mu and Huo Quou in the imperial court. Their achievements were deeply imprinted on the citizens of the Great Zhou Empire, and they believed that the two princes would be able to turn the tide this time around.

However, today, with three million troops, Xuanyuan Zilong had actually destroyed nearly fifty million enemy troops. Moreover, they had only lost a million soldiers, and their battle strength did not seem to be affected by the loss of one million soldiers.

"Tell everyone what you know!" Her master wanted to be a peerless king, and a peerless king with prestige, worthy of respect. Then, naturally, she would want everyone to know about his powerful deeds and to be shocked by him. Right now, Wu Meiniang wanted this kind of effect.

The messenger slowly recounted the story, causing the Mei Niang and the court official to be dumbstruck.

"Are you saying that General Xuanyuan Zilong led nearly two million people to charge straight into the front lines of the twenty million strong enemy army? This... Isn't this too reckless? " A court official said hoarsely.

"And then ?"

"Then, the battlefield seemed to be completely overwhelming. This subordinate is several kilometers away, and I can only barely make out a rough estimate. The general Xuanyuan Zilong and the huge army of ten million, doesn't seem to be fighting to the death, but more like a key, more like a key ?"

"What does it look like? Hurry up and say it ?" Some ministers were annoyed.

The enemy's twenty million strong army was scattered in every direction by General Xuanyuan Zilong's troops, but the troops led by Xuanyuan Zilong seemed to be invulnerable as they were not harmed in the slightest. In the end, the battle lasted for four hours and the enemy forces of over seventeen million people were killed. This time, the soldier was finally done.

If it was said that for the first time, Xuanyuan Zilong had used a strange technique to attack the enemy and caused the enemy to be annihilated without any resistance, then many ministers could understand that. But now, they were facing each other head on and couldn't be faked, yet Xuanyuan Zilong was still able to lead an army of less than two million and kill an enemy with twenty million soldiers and throw away their armors. This made everyone curious, and what was going on with soldiers being invulnerable?

"Your majesty, according to General Xuanyuan Zilong's route, they should be meeting up soon with the five million strong army that returned from Correspondence Valley!" Prime Minister Li suddenly reminded.

The eyes of all the ministers lit up. An army of three million was already at the peak of Xuanyuan Zilong's capabilities. If he was allowed to control an army of five million once more ?

She remembered that her master had only asked for two million in the army, but she had given him three million. Although her master didn't blame her, the truth was that only two million soldiers were still alive. She knew that this was a warning from her master, a warning from her disobedience.

At the same time, Mei Niang did not forget to give her master some momentum. She only said, "Since that's the case, immediately send a message to General Xuanyuan Zilong, letting him reunite with the five million strong army. At the same time, temporarily give him the title of acting marshal, commanding the entire army, how to handle those armies, everything will be arranged by him!"

That was to say that if Xuanyuan Zilong didn't want to accept the five million soldiers, it would be fine for them to leave. But Mei Niang also believed that her master would understand what she was trying to do, so she would definitely explain it to her master once she left the court. At the same time, she gave Wu Mu a meaningful glance.

"Your Majesty, General Xuanyuan Zilong is still a Marquis!" Wu Mu knew what Wu Meiniang's glance meant, and he also understood why his young master was pursuing him. Wu Mu obviously knew what he should say.

Marquis, who had not even been conferred the title of Marquis for twenty days, had now become their only hope. Many ministers could not help but look at Mei Niang with bitter smiles.

"Oh, if that's the case, and General Xuanyuan Zilong is conferred with the title of a first class duke, do the ministers have any objections?" Mei Niang looked around. Actually, it didn't matter if they had any objections or not. It was just that some people who didn't know their place might be abandoned in the future.

"This old official has no objections." Prime Minister Li was the first to make his position known.

Although Xuanyuan Zilong's achievements were outstanding, he had not yet reached the level of a first-rate Duke. But now was not the time to fuss over such matters, and Xuanyuan Zilong had already fully proven that his military talents, and most importantly, his attitude towards the two Princes and His Majesty. Prime Minister Li was not a fool, so he could more or less feel that they were different from Xuanyuan Zilong.
