Chapter 544 War and Planning
It was night, in the Tiandou Imperial Palace, after a series of coups, the splendid palace now seemed empty and lonely.
"Brother, fourth brother, why did he do this?"
In the princess's bedroom, Princess Xueke was lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful to me.
Qian Renxue pretended to be Xue Qinghe, sitting by the bed, holding her hand, with soft eyes, gently comforting her, "Sister Xue Ke, be good, big brother is here."
Huo Yuhao stood peacefully by the window, quietly looking at the bright moon outside the window. He stood here as if he didn't exist and other people couldn't see him at all.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look back, wanting to see what Qian Renxue's state of mind was when she said these words.
It was precisely because of her that Xue Ke lost his father.
What is this, "Although you have lost your father and brother, you still have me" Qian Renxue's version?
With Qian Renxue's gentle and patient comfort, Xue Ke fell into a deep sleep, with moisture still on her long eyelashes.
Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief, gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Xue Ke's eyes, looked back and signaled to Huo Yuhao, and the two quietly exited the room.
Walking on the palace avenue, Qian Renxue had returned to women's clothing at this time, wearing a palace dress, her face was calm, and she looked majestic and dignified.
Huo Yuhao admired it for a while and said softly: "Our Majesty the Queen, have you heard of a rumor that has been circulating in Tiandou City recently?"
"What rumors?" Qian Renxue was curious. Huo Yuhao was not a person who liked to pay attention to gossip and rumors. Why did he suddenly mention this?
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "It is rumored that our new emperor and Princess Xueke had an inappropriate relationship, which is why they have not married yet."
A cold light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she said coldly: "It seems that someone is dishonest again."
The common people under the imperial city would not have the guts to spread such rumors. The reason why they spread must be because someone with ulterior motives ordered them to spread.
Huo Yuhao didn't care if there was a mastermind behind it, but looked at Qian Renxue with a joking expression, and chuckled: "Then, should our Queen, marry a wife to prove her innocence?"
she? Get a wife?
Qian Renxue felt a strange feeling in her heart. She glared at Huo Yuhao angrily and said lightly: "Isn't it just to let Xue Ke get married?"
"Now that the mainland is in turmoil, we, the Tiandou Empire, can't survive. For the sake of the future, we have no choice but to let Princess Xueke and the Pope marry you."
Huo Yuhao was startled and looked at Qian Renxue with a surprised look on his face. What is this? Did you eat melon on your own head?
"Xiao Xue'er, have you awakened any extraordinary attributes?" He asked tentatively.
"What?" Qian Renxue was confused.
"For example, would you be very excited if you saw me having sex with another woman?" Huo Yuhao continued to test.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized, and then there was a surge of embarrassment in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"Then you pushed other women to me?" The suspicion in Huo Yuhao's eyes did not dissipate.
Qian Renxue was silent for a while, sighed, and said: "You know, I have been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for more than ten years, and Xue Ke has always had a good relationship with me. I also regard her as my biological sister. But , Xue Qinghe's identity is destined to disappear, and the Tiandou Empire will also die. She will be a subjugated princess in the future, so I have no choice but to entrust Xue Ke to you. Anyway, you don't want this woman, so I will. It will be easier to take care of her in the future.”
Huo Yuhao suddenly realized, turned around and looked at Qian Renxue strangely, and finally couldn't help but said: "Why do I think this is not me marrying Xue Ke, but me marrying Xue Ke on your behalf? And you said that you and Xue Ke have no affair!" "
Qian Renxue gave Huo Yuhao an angry look and said, "You've got an advantage but you still act like a good boy."
Huo Yuhao just squeezed Qian Renxue's slender palm.
He doesn't care about Xue Ke, but since Qian Renxue wants to take care of her, it doesn't matter if he marries her. It won't be a loss anyway, and the relationship can only be cultivated slowly in the future when it settles down.
As they talked, the two of them had arrived at the main hall of the palace where government affairs were handled. Entering here, Qian Renxue's face became solemn. She had killed countless people in the past two months. At this time, her face looked quite majestic and belonged to an emperor. Youzhi's delicate body sat on the throne, looking down at Huo Yuhao.
"Look at this information."
Qian Renxue handed the information she had found out in advance to Huo Yuhao and continued:
"Damn it for the Star Luo Empire. They suddenly launched a surprise attack and have already captured five cities in the Tiandou Empire. Because I killed too many people, most of the remaining Tiandou nobles were distraught and wanted to surrender. Okay. We have long been in control of the army, so it is not impossible to resist the Star Luo Empire, but if things go on like this, the Tiandou Empire's national strength will definitely not be the opponent of the Star Luo Empire. "
Of the two empires, the Star Luo Empire has already far surpassed the Tiandou Empire in strength. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire would have already begun to annex the Tiandou Empire.
Huo Yuhao browsed through the above information, pondered for a moment, and said warmly: "It is a good thing that the Star Luo Empire has launched a war."
"Good thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Huo Yuhao said leisurely, "Now that we have taken control of the Tiandou Empire, it will be the Star Luo Empire's turn next. Isn't this an excuse to come to our door?"
"But, didn't you say that the war cost too much and it wasn't worth it?"
"The war has already begun, it's not the time to talk about whether it's worth it or not. Besides, our strength has already crushed the Xingluo Empire. All we need is an excuse, an excuse to destroy the Xingluo Empire, and an excuse to make the people of the Xingluo Empire recognize us after victory."
"As for the losses of the war, can't we just win quickly?"
Qian Renxue stared, "Are you going to carry out a decapitation operation?"
"Yes."
"But--"
Huo Yuhao interrupted Qian Renxue's words, "I have a plan for what to do after the decapitation operation."
For Huo Yuhao, the difficulty has never been how to decapitate, but how to deal with the chaos after the decapitation operation in the Xingluo Empire.
The Xingluo Empire has a million troops stationed in various parts of the Xingluo Empire. If they suddenly heard that the emperor and the generals were beheaded, those troops would definitely flee in all directions.
The harm of chaotic soldiers to the country and society is more terrible than natural disasters.
Once they start to coerce the people, wherever they pass, nine out of ten houses will be empty and bones will be piled up.
"First of all, our Spirit Hall must be involved. With the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire, even if the emperor and generals of the Star Luo Empire are beheaded, they will not be able to suppress the riot."
"So, Xue'er, you have to ask for help from the Spirit Hall in the name of the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"As for the excuse, just say that Xue Beng Xue Xing secretly colluded with the Star Luo Empire and assassinated Emperor Xue Ye, which led to the tragedy of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Huo Yuhao sighed a little. The Star Luo Empire was caught in a trap this time. Emperor Xue Ye was killed by Xue Beng Xue Xing, and they started a war. If they said there was no collusion, the ordinary people would not believe it.
