C2 A Preliminary Study of the Imperial Court

In university, Ye Tian had once had feelings for girls, but he was born not to flirt or make girls happy. After being rejected once, twice, thrice, thrice, countless times, Ye Tian gave up and focused on designing his weapon.

A girl like Ting Xue would be chased around and bullied by countless people in university. Usually, she would be furious and have a good temper. At this moment, this girl was kneeling humbly on the ground. This made Ye Tian feel a strong sense of tender affection for her.

"If you don't get up, I'll get out of bed to help you." Ye Tian said.

Seeing Ye Tian's serious look, Ting Xue had no choice but to stand up and wait respectfully beside the bed.

Ye Tian gestured for Ting Xue to sit down and speak, but Ting Xue shook her head and didn't dare to say anything.

Helpless, Ye Tian could only give up and let her stand.

"Tell me, what year is this?" Although Ye Tian felt a little dizzy looking at this charming girl, he forced himself to wake up. He was born in science and technology, so it wasn't difficult for him to accept the mysterious phenomenon of space-time disorder and parallel spaces. Right now, the most urgent thing was to figure out what kind of world this was.

"Reporting to Sir, this year is the year of Tianyuan, our Tiangong Empire has been established for exactly eighty years." Ting Xue said.

"Oh." Ye Tian nodded and continued, "Tell me about the local customs and practices on the continent, for example, which countries have war?"

Ye Tian was a Weapon Designer and was naturally sensitive to weapons, defence, and war.

"We have Oca Empire at the north of our Tiangong Empire, and that is our arch-enemy. We have fought in the war for decades, but there is still a small-scale conflict between our Tianyang Pass and the Beilao Pass."

"The Eli Empire in the west is on good terms with our country. The borders are very stable."

"The southwest is the Inca Empire. Due to the distance between Mount Kunlun, the nationals of the two countries basically do not come into contact with each other."

"Directly south is the Baluo Empire. This is an evil country, and there are often small armies that harass our borders, abducting ordinary people."

After listening to Ting Xue's narration, Ye Tian had a preliminary impression of the continent. There weren't many countries, but there was a potential threat of war.

"Anything else?" It sounds like this continent is not very vast. " Ye Tian said.

Ting Xue pursed her lips and smiled, then said: "My lord, you do not know, our Tiangong Empire s from east to west, even if we ride Devil Beast s that travel thousands of miles in a day, we will still need to walk for a month."

"A thousand miles in a day? "How far is a thousand kilometers?" Ye Tian asked.

"One kilometer, one meter and three feet."

"Why don't you show me how wide it is?"

Ting Xue raised her hands and measured the width of a foot.

Ye Tian calculated silently, Tiangong Empire's land area was almost equivalent to that of modern China.

At this moment, Ting Xue spoke again, "This is only for East Continent. I heard from the Westerners who trade in the sea, that West Continent is even more vast than East Continent."

"Oh? And there's even West Continent? " Ye Tian asked.

"There is a very long mountain range to the west of East Continent. To the north is Divine Mountain, and to the south is Devil Mountain. The divine Devil Mountain is dividing the entire continent into two. Our Tiangong Empire is right in the center of it. " Ting Xue added.

"What kind of weapons do our armies use in battle?" Ye Tian asked again.

Ting Xue thought for a moment, and spoke while counting her fingers, "Blade, spear, bow and arrow, Long Halberd, giant rock." After a short pause, Ting Xue added, "And warriors and mages."

"Warriors and mages?" Ye Tian asked with a frown.

"Everyone is born with either magic power or martial power. Those with high magic power are suited to become warriors. Those with high magic power are suitable to become mages." Ting Xue explained.

Ting Xue continued, "I heard from the soldiers who have returned from the border, that our country has too few warriors and mages, and their ranks are too low. They always suffer losses due to Oca Empire, and we can only rely on the number of soldiers to contend with them.

"Oh." Ye Tian nodded. Just as he was about to ask, he heard voices of argument coming from outside the door.

"Get out of the way, I'm going in to take a look."

"Her Royal Highness, the emperor told everyone not to enter. Your Highness, don't make things difficult for this one."

"What's there to hide? Isn't it just a person? Let me in."

Before he finished his sentence, a graceful figure rushed into the hall.

Ye Tian glared at the person who came over.

She was tall, with flowing hair and an unruly, unruly air. She had a face like the moon in the sky.

It was truly a work of art that combined ice and fire, gentleness and wildness.

Ye Tian didn't see many beauties, but this time, he was stunned. According to Ye Tian's standards, if Ting Xue was compared to a school beauty, then the beauty in front of him would be considered a celebrity.

At this time, Ting Xue bowed and said, "Your servant pays her respects to Your Highness, Your Highness."

The girl called "Your Highness" coldly looked at Ye Tian and snorted. She said, "Your appearance is average, so it doesn't seem like much."

Ye Tian looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant.

"Let's see how skilled you are." The princess raised her hand, and a dazzling white light, which was flashing with electric arcs, hit the blanket in front of Ye Tian.

With a "hong" sound, Ye Tian's quilt was burnt black. Ye Tian himself was also hit by a force and sent flying backwards.

However, Ye Tian did not wear any clothes. Without the blanket, he stuck to the wall naked.

The girl was stunned for a moment before her face reddened slightly as she cursed, "Dirty." He then turned around and left.

Seeing that the blanket was burnt, and that Ye Tian was naked, Ting Xue quickly found a few clothes that fit him well and helped him put them on.

After getting his clothes, Ye Tian finally calmed down a little. He looked at the door and asked: "Who was that woman just now?"

Ting Xue said, "It's Her Royal Highness."

"The Emperor's daughter?" Ye Tian asked.

"Yes." Ting Xue said with a smile.

"So powerful." Ye Tian said with a lingering fear.

Ting Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Her Royal Highness has always been this domineering. "In my opinion, Your Highness has shown mercy to you, your excellency."

Ye Tian touched his neck that almost broke and said: "You're still being lenient?"

"The prince of Eli Empire from two years ago came to the capital to reconcile with his wife and was beaten by Her Royal Highness to the point where he couldn't get out of bed even after three months, causing the emperor of Eli Empire to almost declare war with us." Ting Xue said with a smile.

"But I don't want to be married to her." Ye Tian looked wronged.

Ting Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Your servant isn't very clear about the matters of the court. However, Sir, you are someone who was sent down by Wen Tianbi. As a rule, you are to become a Prince Consort. "

"Prince Consort?" Ye Tian was shocked.

Ting Xue nodded and raised her head to look at Ye Tian. However, a faint trace of nostalgia and sadness appeared on her face. She said, "He is Her Royal Highness's husband."

Ye Tian touched the back of his neck, thinking about that beautiful face and domineering aura just now. He muttered: "Unexpectedly, she's also a wild girlfriend."

One night passed. On the second day, Ye Tian had just woken up. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he heard a long sound from outside: "The emperor has arrived."

Ting Xue hurried to the door to greet him.

A middle-aged man with a refined appearance, wearing a golden long robe, quickly walked in. Noticing Ye Tian standing there, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "How was it?"

Ye Tian nodded: "Ok."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and asked, "Qing Qing, how do I address you?"

"Ye Tian, the leaf of the leaf, the sky."

"Oh, Minister Ye, do you feel sick?"

"No, he's fine."

"If that's the case, how about following the ministers to the morning assembly tomorrow?" The middle-aged man had a look of longing on his face.

Ye Tian nodded dumbly: "Ok."

The Emperor smiled in satisfaction and said, "For the time being, you can stay in the Hall of Longevity. Once all of these matters are settled, I'll bestow upon you a manor."

No matter how dumb Ye Tian was, he could tell that this was a very heavy reward. He quickly took a bow and said, "Thank you, your majesty."

The emperor seemed to be slightly happier as he turned around and gave Ting Xue a few words of instruction before turning around and leaving the Hall of Longevity.

After the emperor had left, a few other ministers came one after another. Among them were the household chancellor, Li Laifu, the minister of ceremonies, Yang Qiann, and a few attendants of Military Court.

All of the ministers that came briefly greeted Ye Tian, but the way the ministers looked at Ye Tian was a little strange.

Ye Tian didn't know what kind of abnormality it was, but he had a feeling that something was wrong. It was like in the old world, when people went to the zoo to see animals.

On the second day, under Ting Xue's guidance, Ye Tian arrived early in Hall of Diligent Government to participate in the morning assembly after teleportation.

The ministers arrived one after another. Eunuch Lee said in a long voice: "To court."

The emperor wore a dragon robe and walked up to the stage from the back. Then, he intentionally glanced at Ye Tian and said with a smile, "If there's anything, go on."

The General Staff of the Military Court asked Wu Dai Gang to step forward and stand in line, then he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, three days ago, the Oca armies suddenly attacked from outside the Beilao Pass, and the defending troops suffered heavy casualties. This official proposes to transfer some of the Tianyang Pass to the garrison to reinforce the Beilao Pass. "

"Absolutely not." As soon as Wu Degang's words fell, Liu Weilong, Counsellor of the Military Court and Logistics Department spoke up to stop him, "Outside of the Tianyang Pass, there are Oca s. If we draw out the defending troops, the Oca s will definitely find an opportunity to attack. Furthermore, the mobilization of troops has involved a huge consumption of food, weapons and armaments. Since we are short of money and food, if we recklessly transfer troops, the state's financial resources will be in a difficult situation.

The emperor frowned when he heard it, then said: "The Beilao Pass is guarded by a hundred thousand, and the Oca Seventh Legion outside of the pass is only eighty thousand, why are you fighting in such a pathetic manner? Hmph, heavy casualties? Cheng Zhou, tell me about it. "

Military Affairs Minister Lin Chengzhou opened his mouth and said: "In terms of numbers, the Oca army is inferior to ours. But in terms of equipment, the Oca Army is stronger than our army, it's just like Oca Longbow. "

The body of this bow is made from a kind of red pine tree in the northern part of the Oca, and the bowstring is made from a type of ox tendon that consumes cattle in the Eastern Region of Oca.

"Is there any way to control it?" The Emperor asked with a frown.

Lin Chengzhou shook his head: "Our army's arrows are all made from the materials of the Central Plains. Whether it's hardness or tenacity, they are not as good as the Oca Longbow s. Right now, there is no effective method to restrain it. "

The emperor was clearly angry, "You want my Tiangong Empire to be full of talents, yet you all of us can't think of a way to deal with the strong bow Oca?"

Seeing the Emperor angry, the ministers did not dare to speak anymore, as they were afraid of encountering the Emperor's misfortune. For a moment, the entire imperial court was silent, and only the breathing of the crowd could be heard.

At this time, Ye Tian suddenly hesitated and took a step forward, then looked around, and finally said: "This subject, this subject has a technique, the Oca Longbow can be used."

"Oh." The emperor's face lit up as he looked at Ye Tian meaningfully, "Minister Ye, tell me about it."
