Empress He quickly released the jade hand, turned around, leaving behind a plump and graceful figure.
She held her chest tightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
In the eyes of Lord Long, there seed to be an entirely new world.
In just a few seconds, she found it hard to forget today’s events.
Firstly, because Long Chen offered tily assistance in the direst of tis, an unspeakable kindness...
Secondly, Long Chen was remarkably elegant and unintentionally had a close encounter with her, leaving an endless aftertaste...
"Lord Chen, it’s late, you should return for now..." Empress He spoke softly.
Her tone was notably milder than at the beginning, still cold as an abyss, yet with a hint of warmth.
"Ding! Empress He’s affinity towards you has risen to 67."
At this mont, Long Chen’s heart was pounding incessantly. Seizing this chance, he bowed and replied, "Yes, Empress. Await my ssage!"
With that said, he left without looking back!
Empress He seed like an exquisite delicacy, a brief encounter that stirred disloyal thoughts within him.
This reaction probably had to do with her talents, coupled with the fact that her charm was the highest he had encountered in a woman so far.
It was normal to have such a response.
Let’s not dwell on these matters for now!
After Long Chen undertook the SS-ranked covert mission, Luoyang City beca even more perilous for him!
If he made even the slightest misstep, he might fall into an irretrievable situation!
After daybreak, he would discuss this matter with Xizhichai. Otherwise, his heart would not be at ease!
Long Chen thought to himself in silence.
As the cocks crowed and dogs barked, the sky gradually brightened. The sun slowly rose from the horizon, starting a new day.
For so, it was a day of happiness, but for others, it was a day of suffering...
In the Wang’s Mansion, in the study room.
"...That’s the situation."
"Zhichai, what do you think?"
Long Chen’s gaze fell on the thin and handso man before him.
Xizhichai frowned; this matter was extrely tricky for him as well!
Then he relaxed his brow and said:
"My Lord, if we can save the Han Emperor and Empress He, it would bring trendous benefits to us!"
"By commanding under the Emperor’s decree, we can achieve the grand ambition of a hegemon."
"We can bring back the Han Emperor to Yangzhou Jiujang County, issue commands under the Emperor’s na to the world!"
"Claiming legitimacy under the Han dynasty, issuing decrees in the Emperor’s na, allowing various lords to mutually attack, trapping them in a dilemma."
"Submission will be unfavorable for them, and we can observe the overall situation and reap the benefits. If they do not submit, they defy the Emperor, a great act of treason."
Long Chen’s eyes lit up, he forcefully hit the table, and his lips curled upwards.
"Excellent, Zhichai, I hadn’t thought of this advantage initially. In this way, with political advantage in our hands, unifying the country is just around the corner!"
At the sa ti, he secretly thought:
"Isn’t this the tactic that Cao Cao would implent in the future, holding the emperor hostage to control the lords? Back then, this move played havoc with those lords!"
"It was precisely relying on this political advantage that Cao Cao had sufficient ti to grow, the fledgling tiger growing into a fierce one, expanding his territory, and becoming the most powerful force in the Three Kingdoms!"
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat; he hadn’t expected that the seemingly insignificant Han Emperor could be of such great use!
Even if there were no system missions, Long Chen had decided to take the risk and bring the Han Emperor to the main base in Yangzhou!
"But how can we rescue the Han Emperor and Empress He? Rember, Dong Zhuo has deployed heavy forces, and his murderous intent has arisen. We don’t have much ti!"
Long Chen expressed his concerns.
Seeing this, Xizhichai laughed heartily and whispered to Long Chen:
"My Lord, this matter is not difficult!"
"We just need to do this..."
"Like this..."
"Then the grand plan can be accomplished!"
Long Chen’s eyes sparkled, tightly holding Xizhichai’s hand.
"Zhichai, I’m fortunate to have you as my advisor. Truly a heavenly blessing!"
Uh...
My Lord, here you go again...
Xizhichai sighed inwardly but discreetly withdrew his hand from Long Chen’s warm grasp.
Outside Luoyang City, nearly a million troops were stationed!
Soldiers were densely arranged not far from the city walls.
The atmosphere was at the brink of tension, ready to erupt into a full-scale siege at any mont!
In Wenyuan Garden, the four generations and three nobilities of the Yuan family secretly conspired, uniting with other noble families under their command.
The montum of the siege was only a mont away.
In the central camp of the allied player forces.
At the forefront was none other than the leader of Ji Province’s Ming Dynasty [Tomorrow’s Dynasty], the alliance leader "Dynasty. King Shang Zhou."
He wore blood-red armor, had a majestic face, and exuded a powerful aura. He was recognized as the overall commander of the attack on Luoyang City!
"Each of you is a leader of your respective alliances, outstanding individuals among the extraordinary. Today, being able to et with you all is truly a fortune!"
"King Shang Zhou of the Dynasty" complinted with clasped hands.
As the chief commander of hundreds of alliances, the pressure on him was imaginable.
To better command the allied forces, he had to establish good relations with various alliance leaders. Otherwise, without effective command, the allied forces would be like loose sand...
The other alliance leaders responded with clasped hands.
"Nonsense! The true dragon among us is the Lord!"
"That’s right! We rely on the Lord’s orders!"
Having heard this, King Shang Zhou shouted loudly:
"Good!"
"At present, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City is preparing to reverse the situation, deposing the young emperor!"
"In this crisis, as long as our allied forces can rescue His Majesty, we will undoubtedly be appreciated by His Majesty, promoted, and wealthy. Moreover, we can complete the system mission!"
"The official statent has been made; this mission has no limit on attempts. As long as we gain His Majesty’s favor with a goodwill of 70, we can obtain such generous rewards!"
"Therefore, we must work together. We must seize this opportunity!"
After this speech, the morale of the alliance leaders was boiling.
Thinking about the rewards, expanding territories, everyone had boundless motivation!
For nearly half of the days, almost all the alliances in the Huaxia Server had gathered outside Luoyang City.
Due to the well-connected Sili Province with various provinces, except for Youzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou, which were slightly farther away, the other provinces were closely connected!
Therefore, in just a few months, the number of allied forces outside Luoyang City had reached nearly a million!
However, although the number was large, the quality was not comndable.
So lords even pulled peasants from their territories to et the required numbers. These peasants were carrying white-colored hoes, and due to their weak attack power, they would likely serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
However, following the thunderous war drums of the allied forces echoing through the skies,
Over a hundred thousand troops, as the vanguard, advanced towards the towering and majestic Luoyang City.
Behind them were three rows of enormous bed crossbows, each equipped with giant bolts manned by five individuals.
These were the exclusive siege engines of [Tomorrow’s Dynasty], with a quality reaching the level of orange-tier epic equipnt.
They were formidable weapons obtained only after joining forces with the Yuan family, a force to be reckoned with!
"King Shang Zhou" stood on a high platform, his gaze sharp as he surveyed the grand battlefield.
With a sudden swing of his right arm,
He roared, "Fire!"
"Fire!!!"
