【XIV. Capture】

Northern Zhou, Imperial Palace in Shangjing. Night.

Emperor Xiao Zongyu of Northern Zhou sat on the dragon throne in his study, reviewing memorials. The study was filled with candles

as thick as , illuminating the room as if it were daytime. Beside him, the eunuch Huang Yongqi of the Directorate of Ceremonial carefully bowed,

trimming the candle wicks, without making a sound. The Emperor of Northern Zhou was forty years old this year, and had been on the throne for fifteen years, but his hair

was gray , his face haggard, making him look as old as fifty. Only his eyes were deep and sharp, exuding

the majesty of a superior.

Seeing the young eunuch outside silently inquire, Huang Yongqi hurried forward, then quietly returned to the Emperor's side,

whispering, "Your Majesty, Old Zhou has returned."

The Emperor looked up, urgently saying, "Let him in quickly."

A gaunt old man entered from outside the door; it was Zhou Anguo, the Shadow Guard whom Li Dahai had met in Yunzhou City.

"Your subject Zhou Anguo greets Your Majesty."

"Alright, no need for formalities." The emperor turned to the eunuch Huang and said, "You may leave."

The eunuch Huang hurriedly backed out of the study and gently closed the door.

"How did things go?"

"Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission. The princess has found the immortal."

Even the emperor, known for his deep composure, couldn't help but stand up excitedly upon hearing this, pacing back and forth. "

The princess has already left with the immortal?"

"The princess flew westward from Yunzhou City with the immortal."

"Flew?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"That's right. The immortal carried the princess westward from Yunzhou. This old minister was incompetent and could not keep up." "

That's not your fault. Since the other party can fly, is he truly an immortal? Or just some charlatan?"

"I guarantee with my life that he is indeed an immortal. Your Majesty, please take a look." After saying this, Zhou Anguo held up a

wooden box with both hands and respectfully placed it on the desk.

The emperor took it, opened it, and saw a transparent cylindrical tube inside. One end had a thin handle, and the other

end had a short needle, as thin as a hair. It was

the syringe .

"What is this?" The emperor picked up the used syringe.

"An artifact left behind by an immortal. It seems... to be used for injecting medicine into the body. That immortal didn't

value it much and casually discarded it, which I picked up."

The emperor held the syringe and examined it closely in the candlelight: "Such an exquisitely crafted object, just casually discarded

..." As a high-ranking official, he had seen many ingenious objects. With just one glance, he knew that even

the most skilled craftsmen of the Great Zhou or Southern Wu could not have made this—not to mention the finger-thick, translucent cylindrical

tube that was neither gold nor jade, just the hair-thin needle that was hollow inside, he couldn't fathom how it could have

been made.

The Emperor put the syringe back in the box: "How did the princess encounter that immortal?

What Tell me in detail."

Zhou Anguo then recounted to the Emperor in

detail The Emperor listened and nodded repeatedly: "I never imagined it really was an immortal. That prophecy

was actually true." He turned and sat down in a chair, then sighed deeply: "Huanhuan is exceptionally gifted and cannot stay in the Great Zhou for long. I hope that she

has found a home this time and can also find a helper for my Great Zhou."

The Emperor paused for a moment, then said: "When you go to Nanwu this time, over there..."

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened with a "bang," and Eunuch Huang rushed in. The Emperor was about to get angry when Eunuch

Huang handed him a scroll of documents: "Your Majesty, urgent military intelligence!"

The Emperor's face was grim. He stood up, snatched the crumpled letter, opened it, and his face changed drastically, his whole body

trembling.

The letter began with the words: "General Yue Qingzhi, the Pillar of State and General Who Guards the South, has passed away at Yongmen Pass. His son, General

Yue Yunhui, the General Who Pacifies the Barbarians, will temporarily lead the entire army. Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Huang quickly supported the Emperor: "Your Majesty! Your health is paramount!"

The Emperor, holding onto the table, said: "I'm fine. Summon the Left Chancellor and all the ministers to the palace!"

Zhou Anguo bowed and rose to leave.

In the Imperial Study, candlelight flickered. The Emperor looked at the circle of ministers seated before him: "General Yue has been working tirelessly,

enduring hardship and exhaustion. Has there been any unusual activity in the south?"

A minister rose and said: "The two princes of Southern Wu are vying for power. Half a month ago, the Second Prince's uprising failed, and he was captured by the Third

Prince . Morale in the army is low, and there is no intention to raise an army."

"In that case, we were lucky this time," the Emperor sighed.

The ministers below remained silent. In its heyday, the Great Zhou army was powerful and its generals were brilliant, nearly annihilating the Southern Wu.

Now, however, it could only cower at Yongmen Pass, being constantly attacked. With no one in the court capable of handling the situation, they had to recall

the retired General Yue Lao at the age of seventy to guard the southern border. Now, he succumbed to illness from overwork and died in the army camp.

Meanwhile was relieved that the Southern Wu was temporarily unable to attack, a truly humiliating situation.

The emperor and his ministers discussed the matter all night, only concluding as dawn broke.

"Well then, so be it. Issue an edict, elevating the Pillar of State General to Duke of Zhenguo, and granting him a grand funeral in his hometown. Elevate Yue Yunhui to

General of Zhennan, commanding the military affairs of Yongmen Pass." The Emperor paused, then added, "Issue another edict to the various princes, ordering

them to restrain their people, forbidding them from initiating rebellions or leaving their fiefdoms without permission."

The ministers rose and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." "

By the way, that little girl from the Yue family, Yue Lengyuan, has recently distinguished herself in battle, showing much like her ancestor. Hmm,

issue another edict, elevating Yue Lengyuan to Commandant of the Cavalry, and granting her

the title of First-Class Baron." "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent in our dynasty for women to receive titles!"

The Emperor coldly glanced at the talkative minister: "What, does Minister Xubu think that women are only fit to be

mares and bitches, to be played with on the bed? The Xubu clan has always been valiant; why don't you go to Yongmen and lead the troops?"

The obese minister surnamed Xubu, his face flushed, slumped down.

The emperor, looking exhausted, said, "It's settled then. Dismissed." The ministers filed out.

The imperial study fell silent. The emperor leaned back on his throne, his face appearing even

older .

Eunuch Huang extinguished the candle and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, I've heard that Yue Yunhui is mediocre,

greedy, and lustful, far inferior to her father. Why entrust the important Yongmen Pass to this person? Why not choose a wise man from among the princes

to guard the southern border for Your Majesty?"

The emperor didn't even glance at Eunuch Huang: "That's not your question."

"I deserve to die! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"You may leave. I need some peace and quiet."

Eunuch Huang quickly retreated.

The emperor reached out and opened the wooden box on the table, silently looking at the syringe inside.

"Immortal... We are surrounded by powerful enemies on the outside and harbor rebellious intentions on the inside. Now, we have no choice but to take a gamble."

Yue Lengyuan led three hundred elite cavalrymen on a night march. Almost every one of these three hundred cavalrymen was wounded, their bodies

covered , but their spirits were incredibly high. Yue Lengyuan wore silver armor and carried a long spear. Her face

was stained with blood after fierce fighting, but it still couldn't hide the beautiful features of a seventeen-year-old girl. Her eyes, though full of exhaustion,

shone brightly, revealing a resolute and unyielding spirit.

A few miles ahead was Yongmen Pass. After crossing a valley of more than ten miles, they would be back in the territory of the Great Zhou.

Yue Lengyuan, on horseback, looked back south, her thoughts churning.

This time, she had led her troops to bypass the main force of Southern Wu, cross Yongmen Pass, and launch a surprise attack on the Southern Wu army's granary. It was an extremely risky move,

but it had unexpectedly succeeded. After a brief but intense battle, they successfully burned down the Southern Wu army's granary. The Wu army

had no choice but to retreat, and for at least two or three years, they would not pose a threat to the Northern Zhou. This was a great achievement.
