“Your Majesty, are you feeling comfortable?”
“I noticed that Your Majesty’s body temperature is rising and you seem feverish. Could it be a cold? I have a set of acupuncture treatments and a foot bath plan to remove dampness. Would you like to try it?”
“No need? I’m sorry, but as your personal guard, I’m responsible for all your daily needs. This is Your Majesty’s golden decree, so you must accept my arrangements.”
“Come, take off your top and lie on the bed. I’ll perform acupuncture for you.”
“What? Your Majesty says it’s shyness causing the heat? Impossible. Your Majesty already has the Empress’ Husband. How could you be shy from another man’s touch? It must be an excuse.”
“Come, let me help you undress. Don’t be afraid. I am a blind person and also a physician. In the face of illness, there is no gender. Just consider me a tool.”
…
…
For a moment, the main command tent echoed with soft moans, shocking the ministers passing by.
But soon, an invisible barrier isolated the sound and blocked any divine sense from probing.
Some of the censors from the Supervisory Court, who were originally there to inspect military discipline, were startled by the fleeting strange sounds they heard outside the main command tent. They almost shouted that there was an assassin, but then thought, wait a minute! This sound… it sounds like…
“Oh no, the Sword Saint is stabbing the Empress!” one censor’s face turned dark.
Upon hearing this, the younger censors’ expressions changed dramatically: “Impossible! The Sword Saint has done so much for Great Jin, he would never assassinate the Empress.”
“Fool, shut up.” The elder censor glared and scolded: “I mean, the Sword Saint is cuckolding the Empress’ Husband, and right before a major battle, in the main command tent surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It’s simply unethical and outrageous!”
“Even if it’s the Sword Saint, I will risk my head to impeach him!”
Soon, all the ministers heard the news. Half of them, who knew the truth, smiled with relief and made no comments.
The other half were indignant, thinking that such debauchery before a major battle would demoralize the soldiers if the news spread.
“Immediately seal off the news. It must not be allowed to spread.” one minister ordered.
Not far away, in an open space.
Minister of Personnel Fan Chen and City Lord of Resist the North City Wu Shangpin, two old fellows who were hundreds of years old, squatted on the ground eating sunflower seeds, watching the endless black mass of troops training with great momentum.
Fan Chen shook his head and sighed:
“Looking across the entire Wilderness under the blue sky, the only ones who truly care for the soldiers and the people are our Empress and the Empress’ Husband, and also the Alliance Leader of the World Sect Alliance, Hai Lantian.”
“Unfortunately, Hai Lantian was born at the wrong time and got involved with such a terrible force like the World Sect Alliance. His talents had no place to be applied. Otherwise, the World Sect Alliance would have unified the Wilderness long ago, and even the Buddhist Kingdom would have had a hard time suppressing it.”
The World Sect Alliance had a very deep foundation, far more terrifying than the Western Buddhist Kingdom.
Since the first Human Emperor unified the two regions, the Wilderness had once been a place of outstanding heroes, giving birth to countless superpowers.
But with the disappearance of the first Human Emperor, the Wilderness instantly fell apart, giving rise to dozens of quasi-hegemonic forces. After a hundred years of war, countless heroes were washed away by the sands of time, and those forces perished one by one.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, some small and medium-sized forces signed non-aggression pacts and formed alliances to keep warm together.
At that time, the World Sect Alliance included all the small and medium-sized forces in the Wilderness, nearly a thousand in total! It was at its peak, almost unifying the Wilderness several times.
But due to internal conflicts, the unification dream never came true. Eventually, it began to weaken and internal divisions continued.
A thousand years passed, and the once-thriving alliance of nearly a thousand forces dwindled to just over a hundred, with cultivators falling every day due to power struggles.
“Hai Lantian has been maneuvering for three hundred years, steering this old ship from a bygone era, barely holding on until the endgame of the Wilderness, but he can no longer keep this broken ship sailing to shore.” Wu Shangpin sighed deeply.
The two were filled with emotion.
In chaotic times, ambitious heroes emerge, but few can control the tides. There are many ambitious heroes, but few true leaders.
A true leader needs many factors: the right time, the right place, and the right people, all indispensable.
“Fortunately, our Empress is a true leader.” Fan Chen laughed heartily.
Suddenly.
Wu Shangpin’s eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice: “What do you think of Wang Xianjia and Li Guanyan? The Sword Saint’s previous actions clearly weren’t just sparring. In my opinion, it was full of killing intent, and a slight misstep could have led to a major battle.”
Speaking of this, even the City Lord of Resist the North City felt a chill.
Hearing this, Fan Chen angrily said:
“There must be a problem. Not to mention Wang Xianjia faking his death and hiding in Great Jin’s territory for nearly a hundred years with ulterior motives, but Li Guanyan, leading a hundred thousand troops to guard the border, only obeys the Previous Emperor and not the Empress? That’s clearly an excuse!”
“In my opinion, these two are most likely pawns of some force, pretending to assist while harboring malicious intentions!”
“Fortunately, the Sword Saint discovered it, or the consequences would have been unimaginable. But what method did the Sword Saint use to subdue the Heavenly Strategy General?”
Wu Shangpin also frowned, thinking for a long time without a clue, and said:
“I don’t understand either. If Li Guanyan is indeed a pawn of another force, as a general, he would be ruthless and unyielding. Even if killed, he wouldn’t bat an eye.”
Speaking of the Sword Saint, the two old fellows’ expressions gradually became strange.
The Sword Saint seemed to be ‘stabbing’ the Empress in the main command tent, in the center of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Could this help with flirting?
Young people play with fire.
“By the way, don’t you old fellows care about the Empress’ Husband at all? No matter how great the Sword Saint’s reputation, no matter how many times he saved Great Jin, he can’t cuckold the Empress’ Husband. Aren’t you going to advise him?” Wu Shangpin couldn’t accept it, almost fuming.
Fan Chen chuckled mysteriously: “Advise what? I even applaud it. As for the Empress’ Husband…”
“When the Empress’ Husband learns the truth one day, he might even support the Sword Saint.”
Hearing this, Wu Shangpin’s eyes widened in shock:
“The Empress’ Husband has a masochistic fetish? What a pervert!”
Supporting the Sword Saint to mess with his own wife, what kind of logic is this!
Has the times developed so fast that an old fellow like me is obsolete?
Wait!
Isn’t Fan Chen also an old fellow? Why isn’t he surprised at all, even applauding?
Wu Shangpin felt dizzy, his worldview shattered.
