Chapter 554 The Imperial City Reports Victory

"I'm looking forward to that day. When the time comes, I will recover today's debt from you."

Rong Yukuo looked at Ling Xiao's leaving figure, gritted his teeth and said in a solemn tone.

But Rong Yukuo knew in his heart that this breakout was a defeat for the Xingyao Empire.

If they hadn't had the advantage in strength, I'm afraid Ling Xiao would have counterattacked.

"Retreat to Yashui Pass. No one is allowed to approach Yashui City without orders!"

…

The Imperial City of Huangyuan Empire.

Above the palace hall, the atmosphere was solemn.

The matter at Yashuiguan is like a huge boulder, weighing on everyone's mind.

Ling Ao sat on the imperial chair, threw the memorial in his hand onto the aisle of the court, and scanned the faces of every minister in the court.

"This time, who is leading the joint remonstrance?"

Ling Ao asked calmly, and a coercive voice sounded throughout the court.

All the ministers lowered their heads and remained silent.

"You should be aware of the battle at Yashuiguan. Since you think Ling Xiao is not good enough, how about you select a general?"

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Ling Ao continued.

Many ministers were very dissatisfied with the fact that Ling Xiao only brought 10,000 cavalry to reinforce Yashuiguan.

You know, the Xingyao Empire sent a total of 600,000 troops.

What effect can a mere ten thousand cavalry have?

Just speaking in front of Fire Emperor Ling Ao about his son, these ministers would not do such a hateful thing unless they had brain congestion on the spot.

That's why there was this scene of joint remonstration.

"Don't speak? Why don't you speak?"

Ling Ao leaned on the imperial chair, and the Fire Emperor's aura was naturally released.

The ministers in the court were so overwhelmed that they could hardly breathe.

"Your Majesty, I believe that a mere 10,000 cavalry cannot solve the urgent problem at Yashuiguan. I would like to ask your Majesty to send more troops."

One of the ministers standing at the front said bravely despite this momentum.

"Oh? Does Aiqing recommend a suitable candidate?"

Ling Ao narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

This kind of struggle for power is a common thing in the court.

On the occasion of such a war, it is the best time to compete for military glory.

Naturally, these ministers also want to train some people and gain some military honors, so that they can be qualified as marquises and prime ministers.

"I recommend someone, this person..."

"Your Majesty, there is good news!"

Just when the minister's face lit up and he was about to talk, a sharp shout from outside the palace interrupted his words.

Although the minister was unhappy.

But victory cannot be stopped.

Just like on the street, if you block the horse of a soldier reporting victory, you will be trampled to death.

"Read it out."

Ling Ao was a little surprised when he heard the good news.

In this period of time, there has been no happy event of victory for a long time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The chamberlain who ran into the hall saluted and unfolded the letter in his hand.

"The Fire Emperor personally... my son Ling Xiao finally fulfilled his mission and successfully helped the Yashui Pass defenders to break out and recapture Yashui City... Now that the western garrison is guarding Yashui City, it will definitely prevent the Xingyao Empire's expeditionary force from advancing even half a step... …”

"The western border of the Huangyuan Empire is now safe, there is no need to worry..."

The content of the good news is simple.

But when the ministers in the palace heard it, they were shocked.

Extreme shock emerged in their hearts.
