All of those officers and ministers were just foxy. They knew exactly when to do something and when not to.
The King looked very worried, and even had an ulcer on his lip. He felt slightly better when he saw those people standing in front of him with their heads lowered.
“We can wait for the Crown Prince.” The King snapped.
The officers exchanged a look between themselves and understood the situation.
The King was still attaching great attention to the Crown Prince, otherwise they would not be asked to wait until the arrival of the Crown Prince.
Zhou Huailing hurried in after a long while.
He had not been bothered to visit the court, but the King’s sudden summoning must be important. So under Junyi’s urging he had no choice but to go.
When he came to the hall, he saw the ministers and realized that something major must have happened. He felt lucky that Junyi urged him, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
“Sorry that I am late, father!” Zhou Huailing begged for forgiveness.
“Never mind. I summoned all of you here out of urgency, so it is reasonable that someone is late,” the King said and suggested that the Crown Prince should take his position.
As everyone was present the King started. “The Saint Divine Land, the North Qi Land, the Cloud Land and the Feather Mulberry Land signed a peace treaty a long while ago, agreeing that there would be no wars between us. And the deal has lasted for a long time. The Saint Divine Land is the biggest power among all the four lands, but we have never done anything over the top.”
“…”
“However, the North Qi Land has breached the deal and started to invade our Jiayu Pass. Around 500 people died at Jiayu Pass the night before!”
“…”
“We are going to send an army to Jiayu Pass, and we will need to deal with the North Qi Land’s breach of the treaty.”
“…”
“Regarding this, what opinions do you have?” the King asked seriously.
He had never expected that the North Qi would invade Jiayu Pass. And how could North Qi have such a strong army that they had 500 people killed overnight. If it continued in this way, Jiayu Pass would be lost within five days.
The King was not very timid, the Saint Divine Land had been a strong land in the past. However, there were magical monsters living in the North Qi Land, and the Saint Divine Land had nothing that could be of equal strength.
That was why he hurried to summon the ministers to talk about this.
Those ministers all turned pale. Jiayu Pass was in danger as North Qi invaded, and most of the ministers had been working at their desks rather than on the battlefield, and war had not happened for decades. Therefore, they all got frightened as they heard the news, without any idea of what to do.
Prime Minister Chu’s face turned serious. “The biggest mission right now is to arrange an army to support Jiayu Pass, and we need to find a leader.”
The words had just been spoken when Zhou Huaijin took a step forward. “Father, I would like to take the lead.”
The King looked at Zhou Huaijin.
Zhou Huailing, without any more thoughts, stepped forward. “Father, I would like to take the lead too.”
