Peerless Taoist

"The Emperor has arrived!"    

Along with the eunuch's scream, all the ministers bowed to Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping across the faces of each minister. He suddenly discovered a few young faces.    

Those faces seemed familiar. Lu Yu vaguely remembered that they should be the people he had seen in the Jade Cauldron Academy when he was cultivating and the people he had seen in the Imperial Examination.    

Time flew by, and these young people who were still somewhat immature back then could now ascend to the Imperial Court and participate in the governance of the Great Qin Empire.    

As for the people who had been clamoring in the Imperial Court yesterday, their numbers had obviously decreased by a lot.    

Yesterday, the Bureau of Personnel and Bureau of Revenue had sent a notice to the Heavenly Network and the Imperial Secret Service to investigate the treasury under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Revenue. As expected, they discovered many problems.    

If they had not discovered them in time, the Qin army's supply would have been very tight.    

This was no wonder why Cui Yi had insisted on the peace talks. Only when the Chu army had removed the blockade in time could he have mobilized the family merchant guilds outside to replenish the money in time.    

There was no such thing as a great cause. It was just for his own selfishness.    

Minister of Revenue Pei Tianguang walked out of seclusion. Without the slightest hesitation, he applied to the Bureau of Personnel to remove hundreds of officials of various sizes.    

This action was simply earth-shattering. No matter whether it was the Great Yu of the past or the Great Qin of the present, they had never dealt with the Six Divisions in such a big way.    

Not only that, but all the officials involved in the Six Divisions were also removed.    

Very soon, people were added to the vacancies. Over the years, the Bureau of Personnel had already planned to select these people to enter the central government.    

All of this was completed in just one night.    

When the officials who had just been selected saw Lu Yu, they immediately revealed excited expressions.    

Most of the time, the officials would report to Lu Yu, but the efficiency was astonishing. Both sides were communicating with their Spiritual Sense. In just a moment, Lu Yu understood a lot of the situation in the dynasty.    

Among them, the most important information was still about the Great Chu Dynasty.    

Although the Chu Army was powerful, it had risen up not long ago, and it had not truly occupied too much of the Great Qin's territory.    

The Chu Army seemed to have no intention of attacking other places. Its remaining forces were only used to restrain the local governors. The main force was focused on attacking Xianyang.    

As long as they took down the central government of the Great Qin, the entire Great Qin Dynasty would be a leaderless group, and they would eventually be defeated.    

"Those Chu Army soldiers have not undergone much training, so they are not a threat. However, the commanders and generals of the Chu Army are all supreme experts with profound cultivation levels, and they are quite threatening."    

The Minister of War, Lu Jingsheng, who was originally supervising the battle outside the city, had also come to participate in the court assembly.    

"It should be the people of the Eternal Night Sky. I just don't know how much leverage they will put in for Shen Linglong."    

Lu Yu had entered the outer space, so he naturally knew some of the rules of the outer space. Naturally, he would not be as timid as before.    

Although the Spirit Treasures Sect had already retreated from the chaotic land, the territory still belonged to the Supreme Purity Sky. Even though the Eternal Night Sky had a mythical background and was quite powerful, they would definitely not go overboard.    

"There shouldn't be any Eternal King Realm experts. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have long ago swept through Great Qin. She wouldn't have hesitated to do so."    

A cold light flashed across Lu Yu's eyes.    

He still had a trump card that he had been waiting for the Eternal Night Sky's Eternal King Realm experts.    

As for those Heavenly Realm experts, Lu Yu did not care about them.    

"Where is the Chu Army advancing to now?" Lu Yu asked.    

Lu Jingsheng said in a deep voice, "The Chu Army is already in formation outside Xianyang. They have surrounded Xianyang and are about to attack at any time. At the moment, I am confronting the Chu Army."    

"The Chu Army is moving so fast?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.    

"Originally, I had set up a rather complete defensive line. However, I did not expect that Assistant Minister Su Huanshui, who was in charge of the outer layer of the defensive line, would rebel. The outer layer of the defensive line was destroyed without any resistance. The other defensive lines did not have any difference in strength, and they were defeated one after another."    

Lu Jingsheng shook his head and said, "This is because I am not good at judging people. Your Majesty, please punish me."    

At the current stage of the Great Qin Empire's development, many of the structures of the Bureau of Military Personnel had changed. Although there was only one Minister of War, he had seven Assistant Ministers, each of whom was in charge of different aspects.    

Su Huaihe came from a prestigious family. During the Great Yu Dynasty, he had a high prestige in the military. He was once a Marquis of Great Yu, and after the Great Yu Dynasty was destroyed, he entered the Qin army.    

After the Chu army invaded, most of the Lu Yu's direct descendants chose to cultivate in seclusion, and the position of Minister of War was vacant, and someone else was substituted.    

Su Huaihe was one of them.    

He was an old general, and he had high hopes for him. He hoped that he could stop the Chu army for a period of time, but he did not expect that the Chu army would be defeated so easily, and he himself fled to the Chu Dynasty.    

"Does he think that he can do whatever he wants after I am no longer in the Heaven Realm?"    

A cold smile flashed across Lu Yu's face.    

Su Huaihe did not run away alone. He had taken away many of the generals of Great Qin. These people had already discussed it and escaped to the Chu Dynasty at the beginning of the war.    

"These are the faults of those people. What crime have you committed?"    

Lu Yu waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's get rid of those Chu soldiers first."    

Immediately, Lu Yu set off from the Imperial Palace and headed towards the war outside Xianyang. There were many ministers following him.    

The vast starry sky was boundless, but at this moment, there were two majestic military formations that stretched as far as the eye could see.    

Flags fluttered, warships stood, and both sides were on guard. A terrifying killing intent spread out in all directions, but both sides remained vigilant.    

Each side had more than a million soldiers. Once such a large-scale battle began, it would be like a meat grinder, and countless lives would die.    

The battlefield was filled with a stifling atmosphere. Many of the Qin soldiers had serious expressions on their faces.    

Lu Yu landed on the main warship, and immediately, the generals came forward.    

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" All the generals present bowed.    

"Everyone, please rise. What's the situation now?" Lu Yu asked.    

Ao Guang wiped the blood from his body and panted heavily, "Your Majesty, we just experienced a chaotic battle, but the situation is not optimistic. The enemy has a few fourth-level Heavenly State experts. These people are too strong, and they can fight against ten thousand people. Our army has suffered heavy losses."
