Capital of Ming Kingdom
The emperor was reading the news of Nanglong family nearly defeated with heavy feeling. He soon heard that the reason for getting pushed back was because Soujin was away during the first part because he was visiting the east border. It was the news that Soujin let out to cover up his real journey. After he had returned, he turned the table real quick.
Normally, such news would make him happy, but the current situation was pressing him hard. There was no way to know what his feeling right now. The north lost, the northwest was being taken back and the west was total lost. All in all, he had been done in heavily.
The battle this time was not a good thing for him. He has heavy losses, and the winning could barely keep him from going insane. If not for Soujin saying that he wanted to do the fight however he wanted, he would surely ask the other party to come here this instant and go to the west.
