It must be the wedding night of Shuo Ling and Infanta An Qin now. Thinking of this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel depressed.

She yearned to spend lives with each other. She had thought she could have it, but now it seemed impractical to her!

Like what the Empress Dowager had said, you must listen to the Emperor since you were born in the royal family and the court. And it was normal that every man would marry concubines!

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but sigh. And then she walked to the bed, controlling herself not to think about it. Only in this way might she feel better.

In the Emperor's resting room

An emergency report came from the frontier fortress!

Chushi Youtian couldn't help but wake up suddenly. Then he sat on the bed and looked at the soldier who was kneeling, "What's the matter? Say it quickly."

"Your Majesty, Xiling suddenly sent troops, and it was hard for the frontier soldiers to guard against. Our army was defeated!" The soldier knelt, arched his hands, and said loudly.

After listening to this, Chushi Youtian couldn't help but stand up suddenly from the bed. He walked to the soldier, grabbed his collar, and stared at him, "What are you talking about? How could it be possible that our army was defeated!"

"It's true, Your Majesty." The soldier couldn't help shivering as he looked at Chushi Youtian.

Currently, Chushi Youtian loosened his grip on the soldier's collar and then stood up. He looked slightly solemn, and then he said, "How is it possible! I have sent General Cheng to the frontier before. Even if Xiling raids, based on the number of our troops, it is impossible to lose."

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian asked the soldier again, "How many soldiers are there in Xiling's army?"

"Your Majesty, there are only... only ten thousand people." The soldier said, looking at Chushi Youtian from the corner of his eyes.

Chushi Youtian couldn't help laughing out loud. He kicked the soldier and shouted angrily, "Well, what's the use of you? Xiling defeated my army of 30,000 soldiers with only ten thousand people! Why should I train you?"

Chushi Youtian couldn't help being angry at this time!

He thought Xiling had sent many people this time. But they were defeated by only ten thousand people, which were less than thirty percent of his army. Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian picked up the kettle on the table and smashed it into pieces!

Did he raise a bunch of morons?

"Then what about General Cheng and General Li? What are they doing?" Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian looked at the soldier and shouted.

After the soldier was kicked by Chushi Youtian, blood was already flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, knelt again, and replied to Chushi Youtian, "General Cheng and General Li were also injured. They can't resist it, so they let me come back quickly and tell Your Majesty about it."

"What are you talking about? They are also injured?" After hearing this, Chushi Youtian couldn't help but frown. How powerful were the troops Xiling sent this time? It made his two generals both injured.

The soldier then said, "It was at night when the Xiling army attacked. Everyone was asleep. The soldiers who kept watch at night heard the sound and hurried to inform everyone. But at this moment, there are many monsters that don’t look like humans coming out. They're mighty, with long claws. When they saw people, they cut their belly open. Both generals were also wounded by these monsters."

"Monster? Nonsense!" Chushi Youtian flicked his sleeves back and said in disbelief.

The soldier said again, "Your Majesty, what I said is true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can come and see. I also have wounds injured by the monster."

As the soldier pulled his sleeves apart, Chushi Youtian saw a row of scratch marks on his arms.

The wound was black, and it was deep.

After seeing it, Chushi Youtian frowned and then believed what the soldier had said because this wound could not be caused by ordinary people.

Then Chushi Youtian stepped forward and asked, "What does that monster look like? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Your Majesty, that monster is huge. When it sees people, it will bite them directly. It is powerful, and it seems that it doesn’t feel pain when people hit him." The soldier described it to Chushi Youtian.

Chushi Youtian nodded and then said to him, "You go to have a rest first. I know about this."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing this, the soldier stood up, arched his hands, and said. Then he went outside.

After the soldier left, Chushi Youtian called Eunuch Li in.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Eunuch Li walked forward and asked softly. He heard Chushi Youtian's angry voice just outside.

Chushi Youtian sighed and then said, "Go to prepare the pen and the ink."

"Yes." Eunuch Li responded and hurriedly took the things over.

Then he whispered, "Your Majesty, here they are."

"Well." Chushi Youtian nodded, walked over, and wrote down what the soldier had said.

At this moment, Eunuch Li bent over to collect the fragments that Chushi Youtian had just smashed to the ground.

After a while, Chushi Youtian put the pen down. Then he looked at what he had just written and said, "Eunuch Li, send this to Marquis Shuo and let him set off to the frontier immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li hurriedly got up and walked to Chushi Youtian. He took over what Chushi Youtian had just written and quickly walked outside.

The sky was slightly bright.

Shuo Ling looked at the time, then he got up and walked outside.

He was going to make some preparations and catch up with Yang Zijin. According to Yang Zijin's speed, he estimated that he would catch up with them before the night.

When Shuo Ling walked out of An Qin's room, he saw An Qin's maid, Suotu, waiting at the door. When she saw Shuo Ling, she nodded and said, "My Lord."

Shuo Ling nodded and then left.

But Suotu couldn't help but frown at this time. Last night was their wedding night, and Marquis Shuo should have spent a good night with the infanta. Why did he get up so early?

Then Suotu shrugged and thought that she could ask the infanta after the dawn.

When Shuo Ling returned to his room, Mo Li walked forward, "My Lord, everything is ready."

"Well." Shuo Ling nodded at this moment.

Then they walked outside.

At the mansion gate, there were two fast horses. Of course, Mo Li prepared it.

Shuo Ling turned his head and said to Mo Li, "You don't need to go to Beiling. There are still many things to be handled in the mansion."

"My Lord, this is..." Mo Li wanted to say something.

Shuo Ling interrupted him, "That's it."

Mo Li nodded.

Just as Shuo Ling got on the horse, Eunuch Li got out of the carriage. He ran over to Shuo Ling and then said hurriedly, "My Lord."

"Why are you coming so early, Eunuch Li? What happened?" Shuo Ling handed the reins to Mo Li and then asked.

At this time, Eunuch Li took out what the Emperor had written just now and handed it to Shuo Ling, "My Lord, take a look first."

Shuo Ling took it, opened it, and read it carefully. After reading it, his brows frowned.

Xiling finally sent troops to Dongling. According to the monster mentioned above by Chushi Youtian, it must be the witchcraft man raised by Zhan You.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but get tense up. And he thought of the witchcraft man he had killed in the cellar before. Even if the witchcraft man was tied, his power could not be underestimated!

Now, Zhan You had used the witchcraft man on the battlefield. No wonder Dongling armies were defeated.

Then Shuo Ling put down the paper in his hand and looked at Eunuch Li, "What did His Majesty say?"

"My Lord, His Majesty lets you make a preparation and set off immediately," Eunuch Li said at this time.

After hearing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help closing his eyes. He said in his heart, "Zijin, this matter is an emergency. If Xiling uses the witchcraft man to rule the world, people will suffer."

"After dealing with the matter about the frontier fortress, I would go to Beiling to find you."

Then, Shuo Ling opened his eyes and nodded to Eunuch Li, "Got it."

Then he turned to the mansion and went to fetch his armor.

At this moment, Mo Li walked behind Shuo Ling and said, "My Lord, the frontier fortress is turbulent this time, but Xiling lets that witchcraft man..."

"Exactly." Before Mo Li could finish speaking, Shuo Ling interrupted him.

Then Mo Li asked again, "It is very dangerous to go to the frontier fortress. I want to go with you, My Lord."

Shuo Ling thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, you go to contact Zhou Ji. Let him take care of the affairs in the mansion. By the way, let him pay more attention to the actions of Infanta An Qin."

"Yes, My Lord." Mo Li responded and walked out.

The sky was already bright.

Shuo Ling walked into the room, took out the armor from the box, and then wrapped it in a bag.

At this time, Infanta An Qin had also woken up. After she woke up, she quickly raised her head and looked at the table, only to see that Shuo Ling was no longer in the room.

An Qin frowned at this moment and then lifted the quilt away from her body and called Suotu.

Suotu, standing at the door, heard the voice, opened the door, and walked in, "Your Highness."

"When did Marquis go out?" An Qin asked and looked at Suotu.

Suotu replied, "It hasn't been long."

"Come and help me get dressed." An Qin said after hearing that.

Suotu nodded, quickly walked forward to take out a set of clothes, and changed An Qin's wedding gown.

Upon seeing this, Suotu frowned slightly. Didn't Marquis Shuo sleep with the infanta last night?

Thinking of this, Suotu asked, "Your Highness, this..."

"Suotu, don't tell dad about this. It's just a matter of time." An Qin naturally knew what Suotu wanted to ask.

Suotu nodded after hearing this.

After she changed clothes, An Qin walked outside. Judging from Shuo Ling's attitude last night, she knew that all she had to do now was to make Shuo Ling no longer be suspicious of her.

As a concubine, even though she was reluctant now, she had to admit that Infanta Qingcheng was the first wife of Marquis Shuo. So, she still had to go to greet her.

Thinking of this, An Qin tightly held the handkerchief in her hand and then walked outside.
