The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1690

Chapter 1690: 823 The Regret of the King (One More Update)

Xiao Hen’s speculation was confirmed in the days that followed.

In mid-August, news came from Tianshan Pass that the Jin Country’s army was marching east.

Two days later, news arrived from Yanmen Pass that the Liang Country’s army was also advancing east.

The Han Family and the Nangong Family were still on their way and had not yet reached the border pass. They might have been in contact with the border garrison commanders through their trusted aides.

Tianshan Pass was guarded by Han Family forces, while Yanmen Pass was guarded by Nangong Family forces. Although there were other generals, the main commanders were trusted aides from these two families. Almost immediately after receiving the urgent report, the two families’ forces swiftly cleared obstacles and seized control of the border situation.

When the intelligence reached Shengdu in Dayan, the monarch was so furious that he smashed the inkstone in the Imperial Study Room!

A room full of eunuchs and palace maids dropped to their knees in fear.

Zhang Dequan didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Who could have predicted that after capturing the Han Family members and imprisoning the crown prince, there would be a rebellion orchestrated jointly by these two great families?

They were far more audacious than the Xuanyuan Family of the past.

The Xuanyuan Family did not rebel out of fear of being arrested for their own crimes.

They decided to rebel upon learning of the secret agreement between the monarch and the Jin and Liang countries.

At that time, in the Imperial Study Room, only the monarch, Xuanyuan Li, and Zhang Dequan, who was serving tea, were present.

To this day, Zhang Dequan still recalls Xuanyuan Li’s indignant words with a sense of reverberation.

Xuanyuan Li said, "Shangguan Jingyang, do you really think the Xuanyuan Family is your greatest threat? To eliminate the Xuanyuan Family, you have conspired with the tiger! One day, you will regret this!"

Sixteen years later, Xuanyuan Li’s words finally came true.

The ambitions of the Jin and Liang countries could no longer be concealed. But now, without the Xuanyuan Family’s million-strong army, how could Dayan possibly confront the formidable forces of these two countries?

Not to mention that the Han Family and the Nangong Family took away nearly half of the troops!

How could this battle be fought?

What chance of victory did it have!

If Xuanyuan Li were still alive and if the sons of the Xuanyuan Family were still in this world, perhaps a battle of numerical inferiority could be won.

But they had all perished in the war.

Since the Han Family revealed its true colors, the monarch had lived every day in regret. Whether dealing with internal strife or external threats, as long as the Xuanyuan Family was present, there would not be so many demonic entities.

He feared the Xuanyuan Family’s distinguished merits and sought to annihilate the entire family because of a prophecy.

But in the end, the kingdom of Dayan still fell into a precarious situation!

The monarch took a deep breath to calm his emotions: "I still have the main army, and the forces of the Wang Family and the Mu Family. I also have the Hei Fengqi... I might not lose..."

"Report—"

Outside the Imperial Study Room, an urgent scout’s report suddenly echoed.

"Enter!" said the monarch sternly.

Zhang Dequan summoned the scout into the Imperial Study Room.

But it was not just one scout who came.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Cangxue Pass: the Chen Country’s army has been spotted advancing towards the eastern border!"

"Your Majesty, a spy has discovered the Zhao Country’s army!"

"Your Majesty, the Zhan Country’s army has been spotted at Chishui Pass!"

Of the six countries in the world, five were now marching towards the Dayan Country.

This was no longer just an invasion by Jin and Liang, even three smaller countries seized this chance to take a bite out of the Dayan Country.

In the past, Zhao, Chen, and Zhan would never have dared, but now the news of Jin and Liang marching against Dayan had already shaken the entire Universe. The "good news" of the Han and Nangong families’ defection had not escaped the eyes of spies from other countries.

If they didn’t come to take a share now, when would they?

The monarch’s blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell unconscious!

Zhang Dequan quickly summoned the imperial physician and sent someone to fetch Gu Jiao, Shangguan Yun, and Xiao Hen to the Imperial Palace.

Honestly, the way things had developed was indeed somewhat beyond expectation.

Originally, it was believed that stopping the Han Family would prevent a civil war, and without the internal strife, Jin and Liang would not dare to confront Dayan directly.

Who expected Han and Nangong families’ rebellion not only brought internal chaos but also directly opened all of Dayan’s border passes, turning the two-country invasion into a five-country pillage.

In the dream, Zhan, Chen, and Zhao did not participate in dividing Dayan, because by then, Dayan was only a shell, easily taken by Jin and Liang.

But now, Dayan’s army was strong and powerful, destined to lose yet surely putting up a fierce fight, rendering it unable to consider the eastern border of Dayan.

"The situation has become even more serious than the dream,"

Gu Jiao had many prophetic dreams, but this was the one most out of her control.

Would everyone still walk towards the conclusion of the dream?

The carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace.
