The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady - Chapter 2480

Ch. 2480: The Four Nations Pay Respects (4)

“Are you sure?” The emperor still had some doubts.
Long Yue nodded his head.
“If not, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been a messenger of The Rising Sun City who came to our Long Xuan Empire, but Lord Shen herself.”
The emperor’s face turned white and he hastened to say, “Long Yue, this matter is for you to handle. See what you need to prepare to make her… nevermind. You will come with me.” The
emperor was obviously frightened by Shen Yanxiao.
Long Yue could only comply. After retreating, Long Yue walked out of the hall. Not far away, State Preceptor Pei Yuan came over slowly.
“What is your highness worried about?” Pei Yuan looked at Long Yue and asked. Long Yue had
grown into a qualied crown prince. No matter which way one looked at it, Long Yue was more
suitable to sit on the throne than the current emperor.
“State Preceptor, do you think the Long Xuan Empire will be destroyed in this battle?” Long Yue
looked up at the gray sky. Dierent from his father’s worries, Long Yue was not concerned that Shen Yanxiao would make things dicult for them. What he was worried about was whether the
Long Xuan Empire could be preserved in the future battle with the devils.
“A few days ago, I went to see the barracks. It seems that Father… did not pay attention to the matter of military training. The spies lurking in the other three countries also brought back the news about the military of the other three countries. By contrast, I think… the combat strength of our Long Xuan Empire is really poor.” Long Yue gave a wry smile. Looking at this huge Empire, who would know the hidden crisis?
The Long Xuan Empire’s emperor lived in suspicion all day long. Old age made him more eager to hold all the power in his hands; he had consolidated the military power. But at the same time, his arrangements for the training of soldiers were far from perfect and had delayed the progress of the whole army. Compared with the Long Xuan Empire, the army of the Lan Yue Dynasty had made amazing progress. Although the Seven Kingdoms had experienced quite some turbulence, the newly- appointed ruler was decisive and did things quite neatly. Their military situation was also very good. No need to mention the Divine Wind Alliance, which had always been famous for its military force.
The position of the Long Xuan Empire among the four major countries was already at stake. If
friction occurred among the four countries at this time, the Long Xuan Empire was absolutely
vulnerable.
Long Yue did not dare to speak these words with others. Because whether he spoke with his father or other ocials, they would surely be ustered by this matter. Pei Yuan was the only one who could speak with him about this topic. Perhaps because of the experience of being placed under house arrest in The Rising Sun City, Pei Yuan and Long Yue had a tacit understanding, although they did not have frequent contact.
“Most things in the world are constantly changing. Fate is beyond our control. Your Highness,
instead of worrying about this, it’s better to think about how to enable the soldiers of the Long Xuan Empire to ght on the battleeld in the future. Only by slaying and killing a few devil soldiers, saving the Radiance Continent and saving mankind, can we preserve our Long Xuan Empire.” Pei Yuan looked at Long Yue intently. For Long Yue’s age, he was already very outstanding. He had more acute observations than his father, and also had an excellent vision. If he had the chance, he would become a good emperor.
It was just unknown if God would give Long Yue this chance.
“Thank you very much for coming. Long Yue has beneted from the advice.” Long Yue bowed
slightly to Pei Yuan, and the confusion in his eyes faded.
“I won’t disturb Your Highness, either. It’s time for Your Highness to prepare for the trip to The Rising Sun City. Even if Lord Shen does not have the mind to investigate, there are still some things we should do.” Pei Yuan said with a smile.
