The entire Yu Country was filled with indignation and anger towards the Emperor's decree. They all had the same attitude and thought that they could ignore it and respond with an indifferent attitude.

Although Ling Shuang liked to see the ministers in distress, she did not really want to marry either. She asked the officials, "If this king does not reply to the imperial edict, what if the Son of Heaven blames him?"

Shang Chong angrily shouted, "The Son of Heaven has no weapon now, and has no authority. So what if he blames the Emperor?"

The Left Prime Minister nodded and replied, "Great General's words are reasonable. With the power that the Son of Heaven has now, Your Majesty can rest assured."

All the ministers nodded in agreement. Hearing everyone say that, Ling Shuang's eyes turned, and in her heart she thought that this was an opportunity!

She pretended to be worried: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all. No matter how weak his power is, in name, he is still the emperor of the empire. If my Yu Country disregards the Son of Heaven so much, if I were to be looked down upon by the people of the world, it will probably lead to disaster."

Everyone thought for a moment before frowning. That's right, His Majesty's misgivings were not without reason.

Seeing that, Ling Shuang immediately followed up: "Actually, there is a good way to deal with the Son of Heaven's will."

All the officials were startled and asked in unison, "What is His Majesty's plan?"

Ling Shuang laughed and said, "As long as this king finishes his marriage and steeps the rice until it is cooked, then the Son of Heaven's will will will break on its own, and it will be meaningless."

Ouch! This method was indeed an excellent one. At this point, the question arose again. It was still the old question. Who would the Emperor marry?

The object of Ling Shuang's heart was naturally General Yang Wu Xu Wenfeng, but the ministers still did not agree with the marriage, the first was the son of Great General Shang Chong, Shang De, the second was the son of Right Prime Minister Cui Teng, Cui Wu, first of all, the two of them were of noble birth, and were a hundred times stronger than Xu Wenfeng. Secondly, the two of them were the top disciples of the younger generation, Shang De Wu, who was the champion of the army, Cui Fu Wen, and so on. In the eyes of the ministers, these two men were the true match for His Majesty. Furthermore, their support for Sander and Cui Wu had something to do with their father's power in the court.

Ling Shuang had originally planned to use this opportunity to settle the marriage between her and Xu Wenfeng, but she did not expect the ministers to still be unyielding and resist him to the death. As a result, Ling Shuang did not pay any more attention to him and could only continue to suppress the matter.

They could wait, but on the other hand Tang Yin and Tang Yin's side, they couldn't wait. Seeing that the Son of Heaven's decree didn't even have the slightest reaction when it was passed to the Yu Country, Tang Yin immediately asked Yin Zhun to pass down the second decree with the same content, which was to urge King Yu and Shao Fang to marry. However, the tone of the decree this time was a lot stronger, and it stated that the King Yu must respond.

This imperial edict was equivalent to Ling Shuang making her stand. She had to either follow the imperial edict or openly break all ties with the Son of Heaven.

It was fine for the ministers of the Yu Country to yell that the Son of Heaven was useless, but if they were to fight against the Son of Heaven, everyone would feel worried and fearful. After all, Yu Country was not Chuan Country, nor was it Zhen Country.

Ling Shuang took the opportunity to bring up the matter of her and Xu Wenfeng's marriage once again. This was the last chance for her Yu Country. If she still could not get married at this time, then if she did not die, then she would become enemies with the Son of Heaven, become the rebel of Haotian Empire, and be despised by the people of the world.

Under such an urgent situation, the ministers of the Yu Country were forced into a corner, and had no choice but to come to a compromise. In the end, everyone finally agreed to the marriage between Ling Shuang and Xu Wenfeng.

The approval of the ministers was simply too difficult for Ling Shuang and Xu Wenfeng. It had been a few years since then, and the Minister of Imperial Court had obstructed their feelings, but who would have thought that the Emperor's orders would turn into an opportunity for them to fulfill their wish. They had successfully forced the ministers to accept the marriage.

Without further ado, Ling Shuang ordered the ministers to immediately prepare the marriage. Firstly, to dispel the presumptuous thoughts of the Son of Heaven, and secondly, to make the ministers regret their actions.

After the assembly was over, Ling Shuang would immediately go find Xu Wenfeng and tell him the good news.

After hearing this, Xu Wenfeng was also extremely excited, and immediately began to shed tears, crying as he hugged Ling Shuang.

The news of King Yu Ling Shuang wanting to get married with Xu Wenfeng quickly spread to his Mo Country. When Shao Fang heard this, his eyebrows raised in anger, and he flipped the table on the spot.

Shao Fang's face flushed red, he pointed to the west and shouted: "Send your troops! Attack immediately! I want to see whether your wedding will be faster, or my Mo Country will be faster than my Armoured Cavalry! " Immediately after, he sent a message to the pigeon asking Feng Army to go on the battlefield immediately.

Two days later, the message arrived in Tang Yin's hands. He did not expect that Ling Shuang, this female, would be so cunning to use the method of getting married first to deal with it. In order to cooperate with Shao Fang, Tang Yin once again made him issue an imperial edict condemning the lack of compliance of Yu Country with the imperial edict.

On the day the decree was issued, under Tang Yin's orders, four hundred thousand Feng Army were activated, heading south directly toward the Mo Country.

Most of the four hundred thousand Feng Army were in name called Feng Army, but in reality, most of them were Ning people. Among them, there were one hundred thousand Huwei Army and one hundred and fifty thousand Feilong Army, making up the two hundred and fifty thousand army of Ning people.

Just by looking at the lineup of troops sent by Tang Yin, it was not hard to tell that he did not go to war, it was more like he went to train.

Tang Yin did not follow the large army. Instead, he delayed for two days, mainly to settle the matters of the Yan City first.

One of them was the investigation into Directly Subordinate Army.

Gu Chen had always believed that the outflow of Directly Subordinate Army and weapons was directly related to Zhang Tong who was in charge of the warehouse. However, because of Wu Ying's protection, Gu Chen was unable to find an opportunity to investigate.2

Since he couldn't do it on the surface, he came to do it in the dark. Zhang Tong was only at the captain's level, so his monthly salary wasn't much. There were old people in his family, and there were young and old people, and his days were very poor and poor, but recently, Zhang Tong's family suddenly became rich, and even the broken houses in the Yan City were replaced with new houses. No one could really say for sure where all this money came from.

Knowing this, Gu Chen became even more suspicious of Zhang Tong. He sent his clever and capable Lieutenant's Mansion spies to lurk in the vicinity of the military camp, and waited for Zhang Tong to return home at night. When he left the military camp, the Lieutenant's Mansion spies rushed forward and captured Zhang Tong on the spot.

Lieutenant's Mansion's operation this time, was more like a kidnapping than a arrest. It was so mysterious that no one knew what was happening, they only knew that Zhang Tong had mysteriously disappeared.

After bringing Zhang Tong into the Lieutenant's Mansion, Gu Chen was not going to be courteous with him.

How could Zhang Tong endure it? After a few rounds of torture, Zhang Tong was tormented to the point that he did not look like a human, as his consciousness became blurry and he fell into a semi-conscious state. It was only at this moment that Gu Chen appeared and asked him what was the matter with the outflow of the Directly Subordinate Army and Crossbow s and the reason why he had suddenly gotten rich recently.

Zhang Tong was tormented to the point of life and death, but he knew, once he confessed, his own life would be in danger, his entire family would suffer, he gritted his teeth, rather than admitting it, he would rather die.

Gu Chen laughed coldly, he did not believe that Zhang Tong's words could surpass all kinds of torture instruments. After an entire night of torture and interrogation, Zhang Tong's willpower collapsed, and in the end, he confessed everything.

He had secretly provided the Crossbow with the Countercurrent Flow, but there was nothing he could do about it. The Countercurrent Flow used the lives of his wife and children as a threat, and if they did not steal the Crossbow and give it to Countercurrent Flow, the entire family would be killed. If the Crossbow was provided, not only would the lives of the entire family be spared, the entire Countercurrent Flow would also reward them handsomely. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Tong could only listen to the instructions of the Countercurrent Flow and secretly took out over a hundred Crossbow s from the Directly Subordinate Army warehouse, giving them to the people from the Countercurrent Flow.

This was the whole story.

After obtaining the confession, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He had secretly arrested Zhang Tong, and even if Zhang Tong did not confess, it would still be a waste of time and effort, but if he did not confess, let alone the King, even if he did, Wu Ying would not let this matter go. Fortunately, Zhang Tong had confessed, and he was still able to do it to the fullest extent of his abilities.

Gu Chen directly gave Zhang Tong's confession to him, and when the latter looked at it, his heart burned with anger. He never thought that the Directly Subordinate Army closest to him would actually have a spy, even a spy could be seen on their Directly Subordinate Army, then the situation of the other Legions could be imagined.

During the second day of the imperial court meeting, Tang Yin had declared the matter in public and erupted into a rage, saying three times to clear his throat, he had to clear all the traitorous officials in the army.

As the Acting Regiment Chief of the Directly Subordinate Army, Wu Ying was ashamed and embarrassed. Although Tang Yin did not call her by her name, but the spy was indeed from the Directly Subordinate Army, but she as the Regiment Chief did not realize it at all, so she was duty-bound!

Looking at Gu Chen who was standing at the very end of the palace, Wu Ying was so angry that the roots of her teeth were itching. Investigating whether Zhang Tong was a spy or not was not a problem, the key point was that he should have known of himself, and should not have let himself into such a passive situation.

Tang Yin went into a rage for a while, then his gaze landed on Wu Ying. He didn't say anything else, he only asked Qiu Zhen to remember, to punish Wu Ying's Salary, with the rank of one grade lower.

Qiu Zhen wanted to plead for Wu Ying, but seeing that Tang Yin's face was ugly and her expression was gloomy, she was scared to the point that she did not dare say anything else. Wu Ying replied loudly, "Thank you, my King!"

Hearing her tone, it was clear that she was not convinced by his punishment. Tang Yin's expression became serious, and her eyes shone with a terrifying light, just as he was about to speak, Qiu Zhen anxiously stood up and changed the topic, and cupped his hands: "Great King, what do we do with the traitorous?"
