From that day on, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue stayed in Zhan Beiye's residence.
Time passed quickly.
The Zhanling Emperor had already sent several groups of people to demand the 10 cities from Zhan Beiye. However, they returned empty-handed.
On top of that, every minister who left Zhan Beiye's residence either lost an arm or a leg or was beaten up so badly that they were barely recognizable.
The anger burning in the Zhanling Emperor's heart could reduce the entire empire to ashes.
The army was ready to set off.
However, none of the generals from the Zhanling Empire dared to lead the army out. The generals appointed by the Zhanling Emperor either fell ill or became crippled the next day.
The Zhanling Emperor intended to punish these cowards, but their illnesses and disabilities were real.
There was nothing he could do. He could not accuse them of pretense because it would only make him sick from anger.
