Hey, you are reborn too?

"No," the emperor's voice was already trembling. He paused for a moment, then tried his best to suppress the trembling in his body. "Isn't it just a little blood? I will give it to you now!"

After saying this, the emperor finally made up his mind.

With a slight sigh, the hand wearing the jade ring stretched out in front of Master Beili.

"Woo~"

A strong wind blew from somewhere, suddenly pushed open the window, and rushed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, dispersing much of the gloomy atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As his body gradually warmed up, the emperor's tense nerves relaxed and his hunched shoulders slowly dropped.

He closed his eyes gently, and felt a dull pain in his hand, as if he had been bitten by an ant. Then, he felt someone pinching his fingertips, which caused a slight sting.

"Alright," Beili State Master said faintly, "this is enough."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and found that there was indeed a small blood spot on his hand. However, the bleeding on the fingertip had stopped.

"Is it that simple?" The emperor frowned slightly. He had seen how powerful this person was, and he always felt that it would be difficult for him to use him, so he asked, "Does this imperial teacher from Beili need any reward from me?"

"I want a reward," the bronze mask showed no expression, "didn't I mention it to His Majesty earlier?"

"Oh, you mean," the emperor raised his head slightly, as if he had just remembered, "you want me to treat Saint Beili well. I agree to this, and now I am asking you if you want any other rewards."

"No need," the masked man bowed, his voice still calm, "Now the Beili army only has three cities left in the Dayuan Imperial City, and there is a risk of breaking through the Imperial City at any time. I am not interested in rewards, but I am more worried about this matter. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please forgive my impoliteness. I will take my leave first to deal with this matter."

"Okay," the Queen Mother clenched her handkerchief tightly, her voice trembling unconsciously, but her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, "If you need anything, just come to the palace to find me and the Emperor."

The masked man did not respond. He bowed slightly and turned to walk out.

"Madam," the emperor spoke slowly after the man's figure completely disappeared from their sight, with a hint of confusion in his voice, "Did we do the right thing?"

The Queen Mother also silently looked in the direction where the masked man disappeared. She said nothing, but just silently patted the Emperor on the shoulder.

The wind was still pouring in through the windows of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with such force that, although it did not extinguish the hall's glass lamps, it succeeded in dimming their light a little.

The sound of rain was still going on, when suddenly a flash of thunder passed outside, illuminating the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation, so bright that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor could not open their eyes.

"Wow!"

A loud thunderclap suddenly exploded in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not tremble, as if they had become numb.

Shua la la...

The sound of rain continues, mixed with someone's sigh.

One month later.

Dayuan court.

"Your Majesty," Xie Shian bowed to the emperor and began to report the military situation to him. His voice was filled with unconscious joy, "Our army has won a great victory! The Beili Army was beaten by our army without any chance to fight back. They are retreating step by step, and now, they are almost retreating to the border!"

"Okay," the emperor held the pattern of the armrest on the dragon throne, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "Thank you, my dear minister. In the past month, it is thanks to you that we have resisted the foreign enemies. It is your perseverance that has brought a turnaround for our Dayuan! My dear minister, you have worked hard."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xie Shian bowed repeatedly and bent lower and lower.

He was really confused.

Wasn’t it said before that the Beili army, under the command of the Beili Holy Son, was an invincible army, victorious in every battle and victorious in every attack?

Why is it that every time I fight with the Beili army this month, I can feel the Beili army's direct defeat? Their fighting power is extremely poor, and they are not invincible at all as the rumors say.

Xie Shian's frown deepened. How could such an army with almost no combat effectiveness fight all the way from the border of Dayuan to the vicinity of Dayuan Imperial City and remain unstoppable?

Or is it that Beili was a powerful army before, but for some reason, its combat effectiveness has now plummeted?

Xie Shian pursed his lips. Is this possible?

But no matter what, now that the Beili Army has been driven out of the Dayuan border, I can finally feel at ease.

As for why the Beili army's combat effectiveness suddenly weakened, he didn't want to care. He also felt that there was a deeper story behind it. It was inconvenient for him to intervene, and it was better not to know.

"You are too modest, my dear minister," the emperor said with a hearty smile, waving his hand, "Yu Dayuan has made such a great contribution, he deserves to be rewarded. Thank you, General, and I will obey your order!"

Xie Shi'an was thinking about his own little plans when he suddenly heard the words "listen to the order". He knelt on one knee like a conditioned reflex, then on both knees, and immediately lowered his head.

"Thank you, General, for your bravery and skill in fighting. You defended the capital and drove back the Beili army. You are hereby promoted to the first-rank Zhenyuan General and granted the tiger talisman. I decree this!"

"I don't deserve it," Xie Shi'an was really surprised. He bowed his head deeply, not daring to breathe. "The tiger talisman is of great importance. It concerns the country and the people. I dare not accept it. Please take back your order!"

The emperor twirled his beard and said nothing for a long time.

The court fell into an unspeakable silence. The ministers lowered their heads even lower in silence. They tried their best to reduce their presence as much as possible, not wanting to be involved in this "tiger talisman" incident.

"This matter," the ministers all lowered their heads. The emperor couldn't see their expressions and felt a little unsure. He looked around and decided to ask the ministers for their opinions, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Don't click me, don't click me...

The ministers were clamoring wildly in their hearts. They begged for help from everyone in their hearts. Even the Anguo Temple was brought up and mentioned in their minds several times.

"Prime Minister Yun," the moment the emperor pointed out Prime Minister Yun, he clearly felt that the shoulders of the ministers relaxed a little, "you tell me something."

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Yun stepped aside and said in a serious tone, "I think that appointing General Xie as General Zhenyuan is impeccable. However, giving the tiger talisman to General Xie is inappropriate."

"Oh, what's wrong? Tell me."

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Yun bowed his head and said, "The tiger talisman is a necessary token for mobilizing troops. The rules of Dayuan are that it is managed by members of the royal family and cannot be passed on to outsiders. Your Majesty's giving the tiger talisman to General Xie is against the rules of Dayuan."

Prime Minister Yun paused and bowed his head even lower: "Your Majesty, please think twice about giving me the tiger talisman."

He did not ask His Majesty to "revoke his decision", but merely asked His Majesty to "think twice".

Xie Shian gritted his teeth. This Yun Xiang is indeed an old fox, hiding deep enough. With just one sentence "Think twice", he sent the emperor away.

If the emperor really insisted on giving the tiger talisman, this "three thoughts" would not have the effect of "honest advice being unpleasant to the ear", making the emperor furious, which would have been detrimental to Yun Xiang himself.

If the emperor takes back his order, this "think twice" would not be the biggest reason.

Xie Shian was amazed that Yun Xiang had really cleared himself of all blame.

I just don't know what your majesty thinks...
