Chapter 59
Chapter 59
At this time, the news had naturally reached the three kingdoms.
Especially the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom, who was extremely angry: That foolish emperor actually dared to lead his troops to attack us and even conquered five cities in one day; how preposterous! He doesnt take me into consideration at all!
Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Although this matter is indeed infuriating, it is not without opportunity, said the Prime Minister with a bow and a smile.
That foolish emperor is acting recklessly and has come to us, which is tantamount to walking into a trap! Your Majesty, we can completely dispatch a large army to capture him! Then, wouldnt the Xia Kingdom fall into our hands?
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom clapped his hands and exclaimed, Prime Minister, you are right. Since he has come, we should not let him leave! Lets just close the door and beat the dog, how about that? Haha
Your Majestys words are most wise! However, Your Majesty, we currently only have 300,000 troops domestically, Im afraid
If we dont have enough troops, then call back the troops from the Mo Kingdom! the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom said fiercely.
I refuse to believe that, with the mobilization of 500,000 troops from across the nation, we cant keep him here!
Thus, an order was swiftly dispatched to the Mo Kingdom.
The Shang Kingdoms army, which had been surrounding and attacking Chai Yuxins forces, quickly retreated.
Chai Yuxin promptly received the news.
General, for some reason, the Shang Kingdoms army has retreated, leaving a gap. We can completely break through and return from there! a delighted officer reported.
A general expressed his suspicion: Could there be some deceit involved?
Its very possible. Send someone to investigate! Chai Yuxin commanded in a deep voice.

Yes, General!
Not long after, the scout returned.
Reporting to the General, I have received news that His Majesty has led an army of 200,000 troops to attack the Shang Kingdom, which is why the Shang Kingdom has called their forces back!
The entire army was stunned by this revelation.
What? His Majesty actually led troops to invade the Shang Kingdom?
Isnt that a bit too bold?
What about General An? Why didnt he try to dissuade him?
Chai Yuxin was anxious: How could this scoundrel be so reckless again? Its one thing to act wildly in court, but now were talking about war! Hes leading the troops deep into enemy territory alone; what if something happens?
General, what should we do now?
Chai Yuxin urgently said, You all must retreat immediately!
And what about you, General?
Im off to rescue His Majesty!
With those words, she kicked off the ground, soared into the sky, and with her movement skill, she flew gracefully towards the Shang Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Lin Beifan, who was busy conquering territories, was very pleased.
His mission was two: firstly, to create a diversion and rescue the troops trapped in the Mo Kingdom, and secondly, to seize the resources of the Shang Kingdom.
As he continued to advance, capturing one fortress after another, his nations power grew rapidly.
The iron mine is mine, move it away!
The coal mine, too, is mine, move it away!
The fertile land, also mine!
Hehe, all of it is mine, pack everything up and move it away!
Lin Beifan was overjoyed; waging war was indeed the most profitable business.
At that moment, a general rushed over to report: Your Majesty, weve received news from the rear. The Shang Kingdom has mobilized 200,000 troops from the Mo Kingdom to return and encircle us within the Shang Kingdom. We must retreat!
Lin Beifan was already aware of this and was very calm: No hurry, lets fight a little longer!
After finally taking action, one must eat their fill before returning.
But Your Majesty
Just then, a person clad in armor flew in from a distance.
The entire army tensed up: Everyone, be on guard!
No need for that, its one of our own! Lin Beifan waved his hand.
Moments later, the figure drew near; it was Chai Yuxin, who had rushed over from the Mo Kingdom with the speed of the wind and lightning.
Upon seeing the calm Lin Beifan, anger surged within her, unable to find an outlet.
However, considering the presence of many generals, she could only pull Lin Beifan aside into a corner, suppressing her tone as she spoke furiously, Lin Beifan! What were you thinking? How could you lead your troops deep into enemy territory alone? You are no longer just an individual; you are the monarch of the Xia Kingdom. You cant act recklessly, do you understand? Do you believe I wouldnt discipline you?
Her hand had already reached out, grabbing Lin Beifans ear, ready to punish him.
Lin Beifan sighed, I know it was wrong, but the moment I heard you were trapped in the Mo Kingdom, I couldnt control myself! Because I knew that only if I took action personally could I lure them back. Look, hasnt it worked out now?
Lin Beifan looked at Chai Yuxin with relief, Seeing that you are unharmed, I can rest easy!
Chai Yuxin had many more words she wanted to hurl at him, but upon hearing Lin Beifans explanation, she found herself speechless.
Her nose felt sour, yet her heart was filled with sweetness.
So it turns out his reckless behavior was all for her!
Chai Yuxins tone softened, I understand, but you still shouldnt be so reckless, okay? I now possess the strength of Innate. Im very strong, and I wont get into trouble so easily!
Lin Beifan nodded repeatedly, Got it, got it; from now on, I wont act rashly!
Just then, Lin Beifans face turned pale, and he staggered.
Chai Yuxin was alarmed, Whats wrong with you?
She immediately caught Lin Beifan as he was about to fall.
Pale-faced Lin Beifan said, Perhaps its because Ive been too exhausted from marching and fighting recently; I feel somewhat weak!
Do you need me to call the imperial physician? Chai Yuxin asked with concern.
No need, Ill be fine after resting for a moment! Lin Beifan snuggled into Chai Yuxins embrace and squinted his eyes.
Chai Yuxins embrace was warm. The armor was a bit uncomfortable, though.
Next time, it must be changed.
