The morning sun shines on the ground, and the dew contains light.

The next day Wei Kingdom Imperial Palace main hall.

Wei Yuntian looked at the dozens of concubines and family members in the palace. Their faces were pale, and fear spread wantonly between their brows and eyes.

Outside the hall, the cold wind howled, and it seemed like the enemy's war drums were rumbling, and every sound struck the hearts of everyone.

Wei Yuntian's hands tightly grasped the Dragon Throne armrest, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

At this time, Song Kuang covered his chest, his face looked sickly pale, and he knelt down on one knee:

"Your Majesty, I can still fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers and generals in the palace responded one after another, "I am willing to fight to the death with Your Majesty!"

Wei Yuntian slowly raised his head and glanced at the ministers and generals in the hall. His voice was low and hoarse:

"My dear friends...Wei Kingdom... I am powerless to save myself. I... I am ashamed of my ancestors and the people of the world!"

There was sudden silence in the palace, except for the low sobs of the concubines.

At this time, Wei Yuntian's eyes fell on his own Empress.

Empress said slowly with determination in his eyes, "I am willing to go to Huang Quan with Your Majesty, and will never be humiliated by the thieves!"

As she said this, she took out the white silk she had prepared from her sleeves. Seeing this, the other concubines also followed suit. For a moment, there was a burst of crying in the palace.

Wei Yuntian felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He knew that this was their last dignity. When the Sang Country army invaded Imperial Palace, these concubines and female family members would immediately be humiliated and tortured by the thieves.

Wei Yuntian suddenly stood up and drew out the sword from his waist:

"Everyone, today is the last battle for me, Wei Kingdom. I would rather be in pieces than in ruins!"

Following his order, the ministers and generals turned and walked towards the outside of the hall, preparing for the final battle of life and death.

And Empress concubines slowly put the white silk around their necks, and a tragedy involving the destruction of a country and a family slowly unfolded in the cold morning light.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Elder Hong suddenly ran in from outside the temple covered in dust. He looked so excited that he almost cried:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Sang Country's army has all retreated!"

"What did you say, seriously?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuntian was immediately shocked.

All the ministers and generals in the palace were shocked when they heard Elder Hong's words. Sang Country's army retreated?

The concubines who were about to hang themselves also hurriedly pulled their heads out of the white silk and looked at Elder Hong.

Elder Hong nodded quickly and said:

"It's true, Sang Country Seven Hundred Thousand Strong Army has now all moved eastward towards Sang Country!"

"Why did they retreat suddenly?" Song Kuang asked with some confusion.

"Because last night Sang Country Emperor, Black Robed Grand Preceptor and dozens of generals were all massacred by Qin Guan in Tianxiang City!" Elder Hong said in a deep voice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Elder Hong said again:

"Ninth Prince knelt West Heaven outside Eight Treasures Tower's door in the west night, and finally begged Qin Guan to take action. Last night he entered Tianxiang City alone, and In the Seven Hundred Thousand Strong Army, kill all Sang Country Emperor, Black Robed Grand Preceptor and many Sang Country generals. Now the Sang Country army is leaderless and all flee to Sang Country!"

Everyone stood stunned on the spot, as if they were sketching in their minds the scene where Qin Guan broke into the Seven Hundred Thousand Strong Army alone and took the thief's head last night.

Song Kuang clenched his fists unconsciously, his heart full of admiration and shock for Qin Guan, and murmured:

"One person breaks through the Seven Hundred Thousand Strong Army alone. How many people in the past and present can accomplish such a feat?"

"That day, I even made belittling remarks and laughed at him. Now that I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed!"

Song Kuang couldn't help laughing at himself after saying that, in the eyes of others, he was really trash.

Behind Song Kuang, Xiong Tie looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit. That day he even boasted that he would not hurt Qin Guan and took the initiative to provoke him, but he was almost beaten to death with a punch. Looking at it now, Qin Guan spared his life. He was really a clown!

"Alas! Alas!"

At this time, Wei Yuntian suddenly slapped himself twice.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone looked at Wei Yuntian in shock.

Wei Yuntian said with a look of self-blame and regret:

"I was really blind that night. I was blind and could not recognize the real dragon. If Yan'er hadn't begged Wei Kingdom for my life-saving charm this time, I would have died ten thousand times."

Plop!

"His Highness, it's all my fault, I deserve death!"

At this moment, Xiong Tie suddenly knelt down in front of Wei Yuntian with a thud.

"Get up, the real fault is not yours, it's me who neglected Young Hero Qin!" Wei Yuntian said in a deep voice.

He still remembered in his mind the scene when Qin Guan said he hated himself that night. As Ruler of a Country, his neglect and contempt was the reason why Qin Guan was angry.

At this time, a civil servant Wei Kingdom suddenly said:

"His Highness, such a godly man, must let Ninth Prince retain him at all costs. If he can be used by me, Wei Kingdom, I, Wei Kingdom, will surely rise to dominate all Qingzhou!"

Elder Hong shook his head and sneered, "Minister Li, how could a monster like Qin Guan be used by me Wei Kingdom? To put it bluntly, in his eyes we are really not worth mentioning. If it weren't for Ninth Prince's sake, he wouldn't even bother to look at us."

That day, as soon as he returned to the Wei Kingdom, he heard that Qin Guan was angry and walked away from the banquet. At that time, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he even scolded these people in his heart. They were really a bunch of blind fools!
