"Your Majesty should have confidence in yourself. If Li Changsheng were still alive, he would never betray the State of Yan. This is your Majesty's wise opinion, and I, this old minister, have always believed in it." The old eunuch retracted his gaze, shook his head, trying to dispel the confusion in his heart.

This time he did not reprimand the empress as a master, because relying on the country's fortune to practice was extremely risky, and any slight mistake would destroy the foundation and implicate innocent people.

At this moment, all he could do was to share the empress's worries.

"I also believe that he will not rebel. That force may really be just a new emerging force."

"Send a message to the merchants, and make sure to achieve your goal, even if it means going to war with the entire grassland."

The old eunuch perked up and said, "As you wish."

He seemed to have regained some energy and was no longer so heavy and depressed. He strode out of the hall, whispered a few words to the herald, and then returned to the Ascension Pavilion alone.

In Feisheng Pavilion, Xiao Shunzi was sleeping soundly under a pillar in the corner, holding a fat black cat.

Seeing this, the old eunuch's stiff mouth corners slightly raised. This kid's mischievousness and informality actually added a bit of fun to the lifeless Feisheng Pavilion.

"Godfather is back." The black cat tapped Xiao Shunzi's nose with its claws to wake him up.

Seeing the old eunuch standing in front of the door with a smile on his face, Xiao Shunzi stood up calmly, without any guilt on his face, as if this was not his place of duty, but a place he had found to sleep.

"Xiao Shunzi, do you think that if Li Changsheng were still alive, he would betray the empress?" the old eunuch asked gently.

"Betraying the Empress? This is not something that Brother Li would do. If he really had this intention, he would have tried every possible means to escape on the first day he left the palace."

Xiao Shunzi shook his head repeatedly. Although he was young, he was not stupid.

The way that Li Changsheng taught was that when one could no longer endure, one did not need to endure any longer, rather than bullying the weak. This showed Li Changsheng's character.

"Then do you know why he didn't run away?"

The old eunuch's eyes became gentler, as if he had relieved himself of some of his burdens and doubts.

"This... Actually, Brother Li gives me the feeling that he has the ability to predict the future. If it weren't for his help, I don't know if I would still be alive."

Xiao Shunzi sighed softly, his tone revealing a maturity that was not in line with his age.

He thought back to the past. If Li Changsheng had not told him that there was an opportunity hidden in the cold palace that needed to be opened in a special way, he would probably have no hope of entering the Feisheng Pavilion and enjoying peace in his life.

"Can you predict the future?"

The old eunuch nodded slightly, patted Xiao Shunzi's shoulder, turned and left without saying a word.

"Godfather, have you noticed anything? Are you planning to go to the snow mountains?" Xiao Shunzi stared at the old eunuch's back, confused.

He always thought that he and Princess Thirteen were the only ones who knew the secret that Li Changsheng was still alive.

"No, just stay here and be at ease."

The old eunuch rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this boy was indeed an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. He would want to inform Li Changsheng at the slightest sign of trouble.

Xiao Shunzi curled his lips, and when the old eunuch disappeared, he immediately picked up the fat cat and hurried to the harem.

Although the Thirteenth Princess was awe-inspiring, he didn't care about much else in order to make Li Changsheng prepared.

At the same time, Wu Yun, as a direct disciple, has gained great power and has been brought under the strict protection of the Wu family intelligence network. He has access to a lot of the latest intelligence that is difficult for outsiders to see.

"The Tuoba family of the grassland actually possessed such a magical method that they could control tens of thousands of wolf poisons by themselves!"

Sitting upright on the giant elk, holding the detailed intelligence in his hand, Wu Yun looked solemn.

He originally thought that he could rely on his bloodline talent to condense the power of his bloodline into a weapon, and that he would be able to stand alone against ten thousand enemies.

However, when he was promoted to the new noble class, he found that there were people who were more capable than him.

"So, the grassland is in the hands of the Tuoba family. This family will become a serious threat to the Yan State!"

He couldn't help but think of this, but when he continued to read the intelligence, he was stunned.

"The Tuoba family possesses such divine power and has a large population, but they have not been able to unify the grassland? This is really hard to understand!"

The rising villain was puzzled by this.

There are a large number of wolf Gu, and many of them are very powerful.

Anyone who masters this ability will have a constant supply of reinforcements no matter where they are, and their strength will naturally grow rapidly.

It is unbelievable that he has such talent but has not become famous.

"It seems that the Tuoba clan is just so-so, and I still have plenty of time."

"There is currently war raging on the border of Yan State, and the new king of the grassland has only just begun to show his prowess."

"As long as I can control the Ningyuan Army, I can strike back and turn the grassland into my strong backing."

Wu Yun is a cautious person and grew up in a cruel environment, which makes it difficult for him to trust others.

The barren grassland in the eyes of others is an excellent retreat in his eyes.

With the strength of the Wu family, it is no problem to deal with small forces on the grassland.

After getting rid of the shackles of the empress, he was confident that he could unify the grassland within three years, take advantage of the siege of ferocious beasts, open other passes of Yan State, and then compete for hegemony over the world.

"If this plan is implemented, Yushan will become the last barrier for the Yan State or the grassland forces. Whoever can control this place can take the initiative at a critical moment and even turn the tide of the war."

Thinking of this, he began to collect intelligence about Yushan in a targeted manner.

Soon, he came across a brief report about the Merchant Alliance team being intercepted.

"Snow Mountain Alliance? This force seems to share the same ideals and goals as mine!"

Based on the description in the briefing alone, Wu Yun felt the threat posed by the Snow Mountain Alliance.

"Sir, urgent news from the front line: General Zuo's 30,000 troops have been surrounded by ferocious beasts and suffered heavy losses. He has repeatedly asked the family for help. We must go to support them immediately."

The fifth-rank general came to Wu Yun's side.

"General Zuo's troops are holding their ground. They are all elite soldiers. I believe they will not fall easily."

Wu Yun glanced at the general indifferently and had no intention of going to support him.

"The Ningyuan army is united in hatred of the enemy, and if one suffers, all will suffer. If you are not willing to support us, then we will have no choice but to go our separate ways."

The general chuckled, not thinking that Wu Yun would dare to leave his sight.

What happened in the meeting hall has proved that there are many people within the Wu family who want to control Wu Yun.

Even the black-armored soldiers protecting Wu Yun might have their own ulterior motives.

In this web of power, joining the army is a wise choice.

"In that case, there is no need for the general to see you off."

Wu Yun handed the intelligence box to the black-armored soldier and bowed slightly to the fifth-rank general.

"This……"

The general's face suddenly changed, as if he had swallowed a fly, he couldn't believe it.

He didn't expect that Wu Yun actually had the courage to leave his protection.

"Sir, please think twice before you act. Once you leave the army, these twenty black-armored soldiers alone may not be able to resist the attacks from all sides."

The generals hurriedly exerted pressure, intending to use threatening words to deter Wu Yun.

"The Wu family's direct descendants are in such a dire situation? If so, I should be more courageous and make progress. Otherwise, how can I survive in such a dangerous environment?"

Wu Yun smiled, indicating that he was not frightened.

Moreover, he already had a new goal in mind. The Snow Mountain Alliance had unclear intentions and occupied the land he wanted. If he delayed any further, he would probably miss the opportunity.
