Junior sister slandered me, the Drunken Swordsman, I cut through the gate of heaven with one sword

Huang Tian's face darkened, his eyes revealing obvious displeasure and majesty. He stood up suddenly, and his dragon robe fluttered in the wind.

"You old man, stop exaggerating! How can I allow you to question my great plan? Now that we have the upper hand, it is time to expand our territory. How can I retreat?"

Huang Tian's voice echoed in the hall, carrying an unquestionable sense of oppression.

"I am the ruler of Aolai, and all I care about is the prosperity of my country. Yet you are openly opposing me in this court. Do you think my decision is wrong? Or do you have ulterior motives and want to disrupt the morale of my army?"

As Huang Tian spoke, he slowly walked down the stairs. Each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, making the air around them become heavy.

The old minister showed a look of panic on his face, and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but still said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, this old minister is devoted to the country and has no other intentions. But this situation is really full of dangers. If Your Majesty insists on doing this, I am afraid that my Aolai country will be brought into an irreparable situation."

Huang Tian walked up to the old minister and stared at him condescendingly, "Humph! Do you think I don't know the risks? But I have my own plans, how can a short-sighted person like you understand? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will never forgive you."

Huang Tian waved his sleeves and turned back to the dragon throne, his face still terribly gloomy. The whole hall fell into deathly silence. Only Huang Tian's slightly heavy breathing filled the air, revealing his extreme dissatisfaction and anger at the moment.

At this moment, another minister came over from not far away, pointed at the old man kneeling on the ground and said, "Lord Li, what do you mean? There is nothing wrong with His Majesty expanding the territory. You should feel proud instead of stopping him!"

Lord Li's eyes were red, and he shouted unwillingly, "Lord Zhao, do you know that if we rashly provoke a fight, our Aolai Kingdom will become the target of public criticism? The demons and the demon court are birds of a feather. They are all wolves that eat people without leaving any bones!"

Lord Zhao sneered, "Lord Li, don't try to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Your Majesty is wise, how could he not see through the minds of the demons and the demon court?

Now that our Aolai nation is strong and powerful, we should take this opportunity to expand our territory. As long as we act quickly and integrate the forces of all parties before they react, even if the demons and the demon court have second thoughts, we will have enough power to deal with them. "

Lord Li was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Lord Zhao who was so arrogant in front of him. He had never expected that there were so many treacherous villains in the court.

If it weren't for them, how could His Majesty listen to the Demon Court and take action against other countries? Isn't this obviously a self-defeating move? !
"Master Zhao, you are blindly optimistic! Not to mention that the power of the demons and the demon court is unfathomable, other human forces alone will not sit idly by and watch us expand like this. Once a siege is formed, our Aolai country will be attacked from all sides. How can we resist?"

Huang Tian sat on the dragon throne, listening to the argument between the two, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He knew very well that Lord Li's concerns were not unreasonable, but at this moment he was on the tiger's back and could not back down. If he gave up expansion, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and he would be regarded as weak and could be bullied by other countries.

"Enough!" Huang Tian scolded, "You don't need to fight anymore. I have made up my mind and will continue to advance the war. But you also need to strengthen your defenses and pay close attention to the movements of the demons and the demon court."

Lord Zhao quickly bowed and accepted the order, with a smile on his face. He then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, and I will do my best to assist you."

Lord Li sat on the ground with a look of despair on his face. He seemed to have seen the end of Aolai Kingdom, and tears could not stop falling: "I didn't expect that I would be bewitched by a villain today after protecting the dynasty for ten thousand years. It's sad, really sad."

At this time, the third prince Huang Yu, who had been standing in the corner silently, suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Huang Tian, ​​the ruler of Aolai State in front of him. "Father, I think that although Lord Li's words are a bit conservative, they are not without reason. I am willing to lead a group of elite soldiers to the border to help our army fight and to act accordingly. If we find that the situation is not good, we can return to help in time and leave a way out for you."

Huang Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, then he nodded slightly, took a sip of tea and said: "Yu'er, it's a good idea. But you know that the border war is extremely dangerous. Although you have some skills, I am still worried."

The eldest prince Huang Qi snorted coldly, glanced at another prince and said, "Third brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want to show off in front of the emperor, or question the emperor's decision? Our Aolai army is invincible, why would we need a retreat?"

Huang Yu glanced at Huang Qi and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Brother, I am only thinking about my father's country and people, and I have no other intentions. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, so it is always good to make more preparations."

Huang Qi looked disdainful, as if he felt ashamed of his weakness and incompetence, and immediately said sarcastically: "Third brother, you have always been timid and afraid of things. If you go to such an important matter, I am afraid it will only ruin the emperor's plan. It is better for you to stay in the palace and study the way of governing the country."

Huang Yu's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Brother, don't judge me by my own strength. Although I am not as brave and fearless as you, I also have a heart to serve my country."

Huang Tian was annoyed when he saw his two sons quarreling. He shouted, "Shut up! I will consider Yu'er's proposal. Qi'er, don't embarrass your brother anymore. The country is in need of talents now. You brothers should work together instead of fighting among yourselves."

Huang Qi and Huang Yu lowered their heads at the same time and said in unison: "Your sons obey your orders." But one could still see the unwillingness between them in their eyes.

Huang Tian rubbed his temple and said to everyone in the court: "Since I have decided to continue the march, you all need to perform your duties and not slack off."

"Master Zhao, you are responsible for preparing food and supplies to ensure that the front line has adequate supply."

Lord Zhao replied respectfully, "I will obey your orders and will definitely fulfill my mission."

Huang Tian looked at Lord Li again, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Lord Li, although you have objections, I know that you are loyal. You should go back to your house and rest. When I return victorious, I will discuss state affairs with you."

Lord Li thanked the emperor reluctantly and stood up, then slowly left the hall under the gaze of everyone, with a sarcastic smile in his heart, as if he had already seen the scene of Aolai Kingdom being destroyed and the people being massacred.

"I never thought that our Aolai nation, which our ancestors have fought for thousands of years, would be bewitched by a villain today. It's really sad."

Lord Li, with red eyes, knelt before the stone statue in the square of Aolai Kingdom and kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty, please open your eyes and see what Aolai Kingdom has become..."
