Yun Mengyao, or more accurately, Song Zhiyi.
They said they would dominate, and they really did.
With the help of the Light Ball, Yun Mengyao was able to create a modern army.
In just three days, she swept through the land, forcing the old emperor to retire and becoming the empress of the Yun Nation.
And it was announced to the world.
Yun Mengyao declared herself Empress, calling herself the Emperor Yun, and became the first female emperor in this world.
In ancient times, it was considered extremely unconventional for a woman to become empress.
Naturally, many people will disagree.
In addition, Song Zhiyi's ascension to the throne was too fast and too swift.
This led many people to misunderstand the situation, assuming that Song Zhiyi had used some underhanded methods.
As a result, the ministers objected and most of them were killed.
Military leaders opposed it, and almost all of the high-ranking officers were killed.
Then they held a military competition, where the capable rose and the weak fell.
At this point, the imperial court was obedient, and military power was firmly in their hands.
The small kingdom of the Chuli Kingdom borders Yun Nation and is provoking them.
Song Zhiyi desperately needed a major victory to enhance her reputation among the people.
So the emperor personally led a modern army of 10,000 men and destroyed the Chuli Kingdom in less than four days.
The world was shaken.
Just as Song Zhiyi was taking out high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, Potato, preparing to Dali promote production and boost public morale and national strength.
It was also time for Ling Yi to be stationed at the border.
However, looking at the secret letter in his hand, Ling Yi couldn't help but purse his lips.
This secret letter was sent by the emperor.
The content describes how Yu Mengyao declared herself emperor of Yun Nation in three days and destroyed another kingdom in four days.
"A green chariot that doesn't need horses, has four wheels, and can run on its own even when drinking water; it can also spew out fire snakes and launch Hidden Weapons as fast as thunder."
"Wow, Song Zhiyi has assembled a modern army!"
Is it really okay to use such a huge cheat?
Just then, the old eunuch who had delivered the message to Ling Yi lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence in the Imperial Study."
"Um!"
Such a huge change has happened in the Yun Nation.
It's perfectly normal for the emperor to want to see him.
After all, he was about to be sent to guard the frontier.
The time is tomorrow.
Similarly, tomorrow is also the day the imperial decree will be issued, ordering Lin Zhiyuan to marry Zhao Niancheng.
"When Lin Zhiyuan discovers that her betrothed isn't me, but Zhao Niancheng, the man she's been longing for, she'll probably be very happy. That way, my mission will be accomplished."
"The rest of the time is all my own!"
Zhao Lin Cheng's mission is to stay away from Lin Zhiyuan and guard the border for Zhao Niancheng.
This task was far too easy for Ling Yi.
Inside the Imperial Study in the palace.
Emperor Zhao Wuji looked at the Map on the table with a worried expression.
After entering the imperial study, Ling Yi went straight over and took a look.
So this is what the Map of this world looks like.
This is not a Blue Star template.
It's a completely new Map.
At least on this Map, what is shown is an irregularly shaped continent in the middle.
All around was an endless ocean.
It feels more like a large island.
"What lies beyond this ocean? Has anyone explored it?" Ling Yi asked.
"Oh ho!"
Zhao Wuji was startled.
He was engrossed in studying the Map when Ling Yi suddenly said something that nearly made his heart jump out of his chest.
"You little brat, you almost scared me to death!"
"If you get scared to death, I'll come to your grave every year and laugh at you."
"Seriously, they're getting more and more disrespectful."
Although Zhao Wuji said this, there was little displeasure on his face.
Zhao Wuji's doting on Zhao Lin Cheng was indeed unmatched by any other prince.
When the other princes met the emperor, they were mostly obsequious and cautious, afraid of saying anything that might displease him.
But Zhao Lin Cheng never cared about that.
In Zhao Lin Cheng's mind, Zhao Wuji was his father, and they were family.
What's wrong with being closer to your own father?
Perhaps it was precisely because of Zhao Wuji's attitude that "I, the King" Zhao Wuji cherished it so much.
The saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers," let alone an emperor.
There are very few people I can be close to or trust.
No one knows what lies on the other side of the Dahai, but it's not that no one has ever explored it!
"Even my Da Wu Nation has once sailed down the river and sent warships out to explore."
"One can drift at sea for half a year, with nothing but the boundless Dahai."
Ling Yi immediately became interested.
This world is inherently flawed.
The upper limit of his strength is actually at the level of Human Immortal.
However, the highest level of martial prowess on this continent is not even comparable to that of the Transcendent.
A hundred men is the maximum.
There is Spiritual Qi in this world, and it is very abundant.
But these Spiritual Qi, strangely enough, lingered thousands of meters above the ground.
There was not a trace of Spiritual Qi a thousand meters below.
However, they did not Perception the existence of any Formation.
Once we've unified this continent, we'll explore beyond it.
Perhaps the secret lies on the other side of the Dahai.
"Never mind that, let's not talk about that now. I called you here to ask you what your thoughts are on the situation in Yun Nation."
"The weapon that Emperor Yun possesses is far too powerful, and his ambition is too obvious. How should we face him?"
Zhao Wuji frowned and asked.
"No matter how we face it, we have to go and see for ourselves first."
Ling Yi naturally knew what was going on.
"You've decided to go guard the border?" Zhao Wuji frowned.
"We absolutely have to go!"
"But this would be very dangerous for you!"
"Someone has to go, and besides, who says there's necessarily danger?"
Ling Yi laughed and said, "That Emperor Yun, to put it bluntly, is ultimately just a woman. Besides, I've heard that Yun Mengyao is extremely beautiful."
"Maybe I can win over the Emperor Yun, marry him, and have Emperor Yun give us the entire Yun Nation as dowry. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Zhao Wuji slapped Ling Yi on the back of the head.
"Outlandish, nonsense, daydreaming."
Ling Yi was speechless. If you can use idioms, then say more.
I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning.
"Yes, bring the Tiger Guard Battalion." Zhao Wuji nodded.
"Good!"
The Tiger Guard Battalion was the most elite Imperial City Guard unit under Zhao Wuji's command.
They were the emperor's personal Guard Army.
It was also the team that Zhao Wuji trusted most.
The fact that Zhao Wuji is now entrusting the Tiger Guard Battalion to Ling Yi shows how much he values Zhao Lin Cheng.
How pampered they are!
"I won't see you off tomorrow, my son. Just remember one thing: you must come back alive."
"Father, rest assured." Ling Yi could sense Zhao Wuji's reluctance.
But inwardly he was filled with resentment.
That idiot Zhao Lin Cheng, why did he lose himself for a woman?
Wouldn't it be better to just cling to the emperor's coattails?
After leaving the palace, Ling Yi went directly to the Tiger Guard Battalion.
Without any further ado, he produced the Tiger Guard Battalion's edict and gathered all the high-ranking officers of the Tiger Guard Battalion together.
Then, with the Loyalty Card tossed out, this elite imperial guard of ten thousand men would henceforth belong to Ling Yi.
Tell them to meet at the West City gate tomorrow morning, and we will set off at dawn.
He then returned to the First Prince's residence.
Before leaving, he needed to leave some contingency plans in the palace.
Zhao Niancheng or one of the other princes might cause trouble while I'm away.
Don't cause trouble on your own, or Zhao Wuji will get killed.
Regardless, Ling Yi still had a very good impression of this emperor.
Moreover, he is now using Zhao Lin Cheng's identity, so he has to consider the Karma.
The next day, as the sun rose, Ling Yi and the 10,000 Tiger Guard Battalion left the imperial city in Haohao, heading towards the border between the Da Wu Nation and the Yun Nation.
At the same time, Lin Zhiyuan finally received the imperial decree granting her marriage.
