Amidst the joyous banquet, a messenger guard suddenly barged in. Shi Wujue’s face, which astounded the world, immediately showed a hint of displeasure. Always brazen, he was not necessarily amiable even with his subordinates...

"Bang!"

The glazed cup in his hand instantly fell to the ground, and the shards of glass, along with the wine, scattered instantly...

"You witless servant, how dare you disrupt this City Lord’s feast! You’re simply courting death! Someone come..." With a wave of his black sleeve, Shi Wujue’s authoritative presence as City Lord emerged, and his face, known throughout the world, was full of decisive determination.

"City Lord, please calm your anger! City Lord, please calm your anger! This concerns the esteemed guest of the City Lord, and even at the cost of my life, I must report it!" The messenger guard seemed to have anticipated his master’s reaction. Though flustered, he hurriedly spoke up, showing no sign of fearing death.

Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue’s expression became even more solemn.

"Let him speak. If it weren’t a matter of urgency, he wouldn’t risk his life to come here!" Zhou Mu, looking at Shi Wujue, spoke in a deep voice.

"Servant! If it weren’t a serious matter, I would have you torn apart today! Speak quickly!" Shi Wujue, seeing Zhou Mu speak, had a flash of contemplation in his eyes, and addressed the kneeling messenger guard in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Hearing this, the messenger guard breathed a sigh of relief, crouched on the ground, and quickly spoke, "Reporting to the City Lord, due to your illness, the doors of the City Lord’s Mansion have been shut for days. Northern Mongolian envoys came but were turned away. Now that the mansion gates are open, the Northern Mongolian envoys have returned, threatening that if the Northern Mongolian Princess does not appear, they will immediately return to Northern Mongolia, and all consequences will be borne by the Princess alone!"

"What?"

Borjigin Nian, sitting at the table, instantly sobered up from intoxication, and leapt up from her seat.

The Northern Mongolian envoys have arrived?

Moreover, the threat in their words was so clear: all consequences to be borne by her alone?

No!

Borjigin Nian’s Father King was still trapped in the North Mongolia Royal City. Regardless of the consequences, as a daughter, she could not bear it!

"Shi Wujue, City Lord! The Northern Mongolian matter concerns my Father King’s safety, and Borjigin Nian cannot shirk the responsibility! It’s my fault for disrupting the banquet. I will go handle it now!" Facing Shi Wujue, who was still angry, Borjigin Nian, as a guest, was concerned about the Northern Mongolian matter and had to excuse herself politely.

Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue’s world-famous face showed a hint of hesitation. He glanced at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, and the others present, all of whom had worried expressions...

Immediately, he understood that the feast wouldn’t continue!

"Very well! Someone, bring the Northern Mongolian envoys in!" After pondering for a moment, Shi Wujue immediately waved his sleeve and calmly instructed those outside the door.

Upon receiving Shi Wujue’s order, the attendants outside the Flower Hall withdrew immediately.

Shi Wujue cast another glance at the kneeling messenger guard on the ground, showing a look of disdain, waved his hand and said, "I won’t hold this against you today. If you dare disrupt my feast again, watch your life carefully!"

"Thank you, City Lord, for not punishing me!" Upon hearing this, the guard felt as if granted a great reprieve.

"Dismiss!" With another wave of his sleeve, Shi Wujue’s world-famous face showed less intoxication, with a touch of worry in his eyes...

Northern Mongolia!

The next destination for Gu Changsheng and others was precisely Northern Mongolia!

He wondered whether his restless cousin had completed the important task, or if something else had gone wrong!

Thinking of Fufeng Tianlan gave Shi Wujue a headache!

This woman was the key piece in his entire game but also one of the most unstable factors. Her hatred for Gu Changsheng was like a bone stuck in Shi Wujue’s throat, yet there was nothing he could do!

This might be the only thing Shi Wujue couldn’t fully account for, despite calculating everything else!

The Ancient Country’s royal family has withered, and by this time, only he and Fufeng Tianlan remain. If Shi Wujue had been born a daughter, it would have been fine, but alas...

The only daughter of the royal family is Fufeng Tianlan alone!

Gu Changsheng, seated below, saw Shi Wujue like this and couldn’t help but express concern, "Shi Wujue, what’s wrong? Is it your health..."

"It’s nothing!" Shi Wujue heard this and immediately shook his head, "Just a rare banquet interrupted by those tactless Northern Mongolians, there’s a bit of annoyance in my heart!"

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately laughed, looking at the opened Flower Hall doors, a thoughtful expression flashed in her Phoenix Eyes, as she addressed the restless Borjigin Nian, "That Northern Mongolia sent people over now isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Borjigin Nian, do you remember what I said earlier?"

"Yes!" Borjigin Nian responded, somewhat absent-mindedly, nodding.

"Borjigin Nian! Pull yourself together! Concern leads to chaos. You’ve been lingering in Linyuan City for a long time, waiting for Northern Mongolia to become unease, haven’t you?" Seeing Borjigin Nian like this, Gu Changsheng’s expression immediately darkened a bit, even her address changed, becoming more serious. Her bright young face instantly lost its drunkenness, as she spoke to Borjigin Nian in a deep voice, "It’s essentially a protracted battle; whoever can’t hold their ground first loses the upper hand! Borjigin Nian, just as we were about to head north, Northern Mongolia sent envoys. This kind of fortunate timing is like someone handing you a pillow when you’re sleepy, how could you lose composure first?"

Borjigin Nian heard Gu Changsheng’s stern words, and her face instantly regained a hint of clarity. She gratefully glanced at Gu Changsheng briefly, and focused back on her seat, "I understand, I will calm down, I will make an effort to calm down!"

"You must calm down! Borjigin Nian, the envoy from Northern Mongolia is definitely here for you! I, and your senior brother, even though we’re also in Linyuan City, hitting the snake at the critical seven-inch spot, you’re in it, and it leads to chaos when concerned. Regarding the matter with Northern Mongolia, your senior brother and I are ultimately outsiders, but you are our weakness!" Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian, straightening her posture. Her red Golden Silk Robe accentuated her even more enchantingly, with a hint of domineering pressure, "So, if you discomposed yourself, even we couldn’t assist you!"

"Yes, I know, I’m not discomposed, I’m not discomposed..." Borjigin Nian replied, nodding again, yet repeated words still betrayed her current tension...

Irrelevant matters are clear to outsiders!

However, Borjigin Nian was the one in the situation!

People from the Itinerant World continuously infiltrated Northern Mongolia, bringing news of rebels besieging the Royal City, with her Father King surrounded by treacherous ministers and rebellious offspring, no news had come through...

Though everyone assured Borjigin Nian, no news is the best news, but after all, that is her Father King!

How could Borjigin Nian not worry about someone of blood and kin?

"Alright, Little Melon Baby, there’s no need to fear, we have so many people backing you, what are you afraid of?" The medicine Immortal Old Man loved drinking, and by this time was already somewhat dazed from alcohol, seeing Borjigin Nian, he held his drink cup, comforting her, "Well, that apprentice of mine not only excels in arts, but also in warfare? Isn’t she famed south and north for her military exploits, if need be, she could directly invade Northern Mongolia! Where the Golden Ge passes, leaving none intact..."

"Old Man!" Gu Changsheng, hearing this, couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead, "When you’re drunk, quickly stop spouting nonsense! If the Northern Mongolian crisis could just be solved with a bout of military might, do you think Borjigin Nian wouldn’t wage war? It’s not that simple!"

"Eh? How can waging war be complicated?" The medicine Immortal Old Man asked, frowning, holding his drink cup.

"It’s naturally complicated! Because Borjigin Nian’s Father King is still besieged in the Royal City!" Gu Changsheng sighed, explaining, "If we directly brought our armies, they would undoubtedly be overwhelmed, but in a situation of mutual destruction, they only need to turn their guns, directly threatening the Royal City, bringing Borjigin Nian’s Father King out, presenting him at the two armies, would you say the fight still proceeds? Is there still a fightable way?"

"Eh? This Little Melon Baby, actually has a Father King caught by them?" The medicine Immortal Old Man exclaimed.

Gu Changsheng truly felt helpless towards such a medicine Immortal Old Man, shook her head, "Otherwise what? Do you think Borjigin Nian sprung from a crack in a rock?"

"Hehe...Hehe...I’m not versed in warfare, just an old doctor..." The medicine Immortal Old Man upon hearing this, immediately went silent.

"It’s just unknown this time who the Northern Mongolia envoy might be? Earlier, I forgot to ask." Borjigin Nian’s gaze remained fixed on the Flower Hall door, anxiously spoke.

"Regardless of who came, all you need to know is that their arrival means they’re unsettled first! This Yellow Weasel weeds out the chicken for a New Year greeting, don’t expect their intentions to be benevolent!" Replying, Gu Changsheng said confidently, swinging her hand, "Furthermore, you should be more aware than I am, Borjigin Nian, those of Northern Mongolia who are rebellious are all people of the Imperial Family, this time Northern Mongolia envoy will definitely belong to the Borjigin line of your Northern Mongol Royal Family! When you meet them later, don’t act rashly; any notion of kinship or blood in the face of wealth and power is just dirt! They’ve already been corrupted by the Northern Mongolian throne, they’re no longer your kin! Understand?"

"Yes! I understand!" Borjigin Nian responded, nodding quickly, "If they weren’t of royal descent, if they weren’t my kin, how could they have the army besieging the Royal City capturing my Father King..."

"It’s good you understand!" Gu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Just then, outside the Flower Hall, a group dressed in Northern Mongolian attire came, led by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Inside the Flower Hall, hearing the commotion outside, everyone sat up a bit straighter, only when Gu Changsheng saw clearly who the leading person was, her gaze couldn’t help but become colder...
