The magnificent bronze palace has a heavy round table in the center. Sitting on the round table are twelve judges, who are also the twelve giants in the center.

On the purple throne, which symbolizes nobility, sits a man wearing a robe embroidered with dragon bones. He wears a gold mask all year round, revealing only a pair of heavy boys without the whites of his eyes.

"What is Yue Jiuling doing?" Man Di shouted coldly, his throat seemed to be blocked, and his voice was hoarse and strange.

The predictions from the observatory are clearly displayed on the round table.

If the luck fluctuations in the abyss last time were like light ripples in the lake water, then this time it was like pebbles hitting the lake and causing several splashes of water.

My heart is as gray as death.

He wanted to yell hysterically, and he wanted to crush the old witch's stupid and stupid head!

But this solemn palace could only try its best to contain the emotions.

The Barbarian Emperor said in a deep voice:

"Preach God's decree and send inspectors."

"Your Majesty." A blond judge with beard quickly stood up and said respectfully:

"Yue Wudi is extremely talented, so let Yue San bring him to meet the gods."

The old witch was his political henchman and had to intercede when necessary.

The feudal officials were most jealous of inspectors. Any trivial matter that was found to be nonsense would tarnish the old witch's political achievements.

"Yin Siken, are you solely responsible for anything that happens?" Barbarian Emperor stared at him for a moment.

The bearded man's expression froze, and he lowered his head without any confidence.

The empire rises in the abyss of heaven, and subtle changes in the abyss must be treated with caution.

"That's it, let's talk about Western Shu again." Emperor Man said loudly.

A variety of voices echoed around the round table, calling for long life. The soul could not stay at home. The soul had long been lost in a distant land of seven thousand miles.

After the small court meeting, Hu Yanshou left Jiuchong Palace.

The moment he entered the carriage, his face turned from pale to deathly gray, and his whole body seemed to have been stripped of bones, and he collapsed in the carriage.

"Why is it like this..."

"Why did you lose!!"

Hu Yanshou's lips trembled, he was in disbelief.

There is only one possibility: the old witch lost territory again, even more than last time.

"Didn't you send me a secret message, saying that all the efforts were accomplished in one battle? Twelve thousand hard-blooded warriors, three great masters renowned in the empire, and a pig as the commander-in-chief would not be able to do this."

"Old witch, you deserve to go to hell!"

"Idiot!!"

Hu Yanshou was so exhausted mentally and physically that he didn't even have the strength to break things to vent his anger.

The lid can't be closed, it's all over.

Returning to the mansion, he faltered and called his eldest son, and the father and son walked into the study silently.

"Your Majesty will send inspectors to the old witch's territory." Hu Yanshou laughed sadly.

"Impossible!" Hu Yanjing looked horrified. He was the only person in the family who knew the inside story.

Could it be that the army was destroyed by hatred in the isolated city, and the empire lost its territory again?

"You care about Dongtu, and Dongtu cares about you? They are drinking and drinking, but you are drowning in the killing."

"Stop being stubborn and surrender. I beg you not to hold on to a worthless city anymore."

Hu Yanshou's murmur sounded like a begging, and tears rolled down his haggard face.

Father cried.

Tears of grievance were more shocking than condemnation and rage, torturing Hu Yanjing's soul like a knife.

"Dad, can't you hold it any longer?" he asked cautiously.

Hu Yanshou was silent and wiped away tears.

"How about you take a pre-emptive strike and expose the treachery of the Zhelan dog thief and the old witch."

"You are the last arbiter. At most, you will retire and return to your hometown. Your life will not be endangered."

"Compared to the God of Heaven, we are still weak. If Your Majesty knows about Gu Changan's existence, he will definitely send the top men of the empire, and even make the Western Regions completely barren."

Hu Yanjing persuaded in a deep voice.

"Really?" Hu Yanshou stared at his most outstanding son, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his head, and pressed his face heavily against the uneven copper pattern of the incense burner.

"For more than sixty years, the isolated city has not fallen. One man killed thousands of armies."

"Do you know how humiliating this is? The entire empire will be furious! Shenzhou will regain its confidence and fighting spirit! Can your father and I bear the consequences?"

Half of Hu Yanjing's face was marked with incense burner marks, and half of his face was covered with blood.

"Beast!" Hu Yanshou's face was full of cruelty, and he immediately threw up his sleeves and walked to the window.

In his sight, the Holy City shone brightly under the sun, and was magnificent, like the most perfect masterpiece of gods in the world.

This is the greatest and most noble city in the world. Chang'an, where all the nations came to visit in the past, can't even match it!

"I can't lose my power, nor can I die. I want to accompany the gods on the altar of the world, and I want to witness Dongtu's pilgrimage to the abyss!"

Hu Yanshou tried hard to drive away fear and anger from his mind and calm down.

He made a decision quickly.

"Rush to the Western Region overnight and ask the old witch to do one thing before the inspector arrives."

"What?" Hu Yanjing covered her cheek and sounded aggrieved.

Hu Yanshou's eyes gradually became cruel, and he said word by word:

"Concentration camps, massacres."

Hu Yanjing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his scalp felt very cold.

"Only the mass death of the empire's citizens can cause fluctuations in the abyss." Hu Yanshou's face was expressionless, as if he was just recounting a trivial matter.

Hu Yanjing did not dare to answer. He suddenly felt that power was so terrifying and his father was so cruel.

"Jing'er, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. As a father, I don't want to die innocently and tragically. I am even more afraid of the decline of the Huyan family."

"This lid must be covered, Gu Changan cannot be exposed."

Hu Yanshou's words were serious and thoughtful, and his voice was full of sadness.

"How much?" Hu Yanjing asked hoarsely.

Hu Yanshou was quiet for a while, then slowly stretched out a slap:

"Slaughter half a million."

The latter's soul was trembling, and the four words floating in the air were the ghosts of half a million people of the empire.

"As well as the old witch's head on her neck, when she has to choose between herself and the Yuezhi, she must die in front of the inspector, so that Gai can get away with it."

Hu Yanshou added, leaning on the window sill tiredly.

Although it will explode sooner or later, we should cover it up at all costs, just to get a chance to breathe and think of a way to check and balance before the explosion.

The study fell into a long dead silence.

"Dad, is it worth it?" Hu Yanjing couldn't help but ask.

One Han slave has caused the empire to suffer too many losses, and it will continue to do so endlessly.

Hu Yanshou frowned deeply and said dejectedly:

"Let's talk about two examples in the history of the Central Plains."

"King Gou Jian of Yue endured humiliation and heavy burdens as a slave for ten years, and finally cleared up the old mountains and rivers."

"Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, a seven-foot-tall man who still persisted in his ideals and ambitions despite being castrated and wrote a glorious history."

"The reason why Chinese civilization has been able to last for so long is because of its strong willpower."

After a pause, he looked at his eldest son:

"You should know what Gu Changan represents."

Hu Yanjing remained silent for a moment and replied: "The most indestructible will in the world."

"Now prepare your horses and set off." Hu Yanshou waved his hand.

"yes."

Hu Yanjing sighed softly, turned around and left.

Back then, my father made a mistake and failed to eradicate the isolated city, but now it has caused a disaster of the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing.
