Chapter 1289 News from Border
De Fu could not wait to pass on the news from the border. Seeing Destiny Monk leaving, De Fu reminded him and waited for the King to give an order.
Hearing the news ing, the King stopped smiling.
It was not a very steady situation at the border.
The general was replaced and Jiayu Pass was lost, Feng County was not strong enough to defend itself. If no news came, then the situation there should be fine. If news came, it would be either extremely good or extremely bad.
!!
The King looked quite serious.
It was almost time for the Phoenix Girl to appear, and soon they would know what was behind the door to enchantment, but he still hoped that all the news would be good, not like right now.
“Let’s go and have a look,” the King said.
De Fu opened the umbrella and acpanied the King to head towards Qianqing Palace.
On the way to Qianqing Palace, the snow turned increasingly heavy.
Due to the sudden arrival of the snow, the King had no warm clothes. The King sneezed on his way back and forth. He had caught a cold.
Back to Qianqing Palace…
De Fu asked for ginger soup to be prepared and a fire basin to be added, fearing that something would happen to the King.
However, the King did not care. He took a seat and had the handheld fire-place in his hands, asking the soldier who was on his knees. “What happened at the border?”
“We lost Feng County!” the soldier said in fright.
No one was willing to pass on the news of the failure to the capital, because if they ran into a time when the King was in a bad mood, they might get their head chopped off.
However, it was his turn right now, so he had to head into the capital against his will.
He was shivering, due to the cold weather and fear.
“Our force exceeds that of the North Qi Land, but the North Qi Land has too many magical monsters and we have to deal with them. We failed to guard the county and we don’t even have a real general.” The man explained.
He had been taught to say those words by the strategist working for the Crown Prince. In this way, the King might not lose his temper and might spare his life. Those strategists were best at talking, so he trusted them and followed the order.
The King looked really miserable, but he did not lose his temper.
It was totally within his expectations.
After General Liu was transported back, there was no leader leading the battle for Feng County. So they were naturally in a bad position.
As long as the Crown Prince was well, nothing else mattered. Feng County was too small for him to care about.
“I know about that, you can leave now,” the King said.
The soldier let out a sigh of relief, thanking God for sparing his life.
The King had been obsessed with the door to enchantment…
De Fu said, “King.”
