Chapter 253: You Are Late, Your Majesty Is Indulging in the Gentle World Again?
The sun flickered and gradually rose, and the golden light fell on the entire ancient and huge city, covering it with a layer of golden brilliance.
Under the city wall, everything was silent. On the city wall, the ministers waited patiently.
However, as time passed, Qin Mu's figure still did not appear on the general selection platform, and the ministers began to whisper to each other.
"Your Majesty must return victoriously this time, otherwise, the Qin Dynasty will be in danger!"
An old minister looked up at the high dragon throne, his eyes moist.
His voice was sad and full of worry.
This resonated with other ministers, and they echoed.
"This trip can only win, not lose! If we fail, my Qin Dynasty may be completely cut off!"
"Yes..."
An old minister sighed and said: "The Tianqi Domain is powerful, and your majesty will face many dangers this time. If you fail, I am afraid that the day when the country is destroyed and the family is ruined will only be a moment!"
Many civil and military officials sighed.
"It's all your majesty's fault for killing so many saints without thinking of the consequences. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to this point today..."
"Not only that, the remaining forces of the aristocratic families scattered across the Qin Dynasty are now hiding in the dark and may suddenly attack at any time. If your majesty fails in this trip, they may find a flaw and take advantage of it..."
"Your majesty is really stupid. The more he shouldn't do something, the more he wants to do it..."
"Alas, it's too late to say these now. I just want to see your majesty return triumphantly and everything goes well."
"I hope your majesty will never do anything amazing and absurd before going to war..."
Many ministers whispered to each other, all of them were heavy in their hearts, full of worries, but helpless, only bitter.
Although they didn't understand what Qin Mu did, let alone what he thought.
But what happened in the past can't be changed. Now they can only pray that your majesty can succeed, put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and end the war.
And don't do anything shocking and ridiculous before the expedition.
Daqin can't afford it!
They can't afford it either!
"Has your majesty discussed the specific matters of the expedition with you?"
At this time, a general who came from another place asked.
According to his combat experience, generally speaking, large-scale wars involving a country's war usually need to be discussed several days in advance, various details are finalized, and corresponding combat plans are formulated so that the soldiers can better complete the task.
After all, after the war starts, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, every detail is very critical, and the slightest mistake will cause extremely bad consequences.
Especially for such a major event as your majesty's personal expedition, it should be treated with caution and must not be sloppy.
This expedition is absolutely a battle of life and death for Daqin, which is related to the national destiny.
If you win, it will be smooth sailing and singing all the way.
If you lose, then Daqin's country will probably be handed over soon.
So, no one can afford to lose this battle.
Hearing the question from the general, the ministers looked at each other, and fell silent.
Many ministers shook their heads and smiled bitterly, with sad faces.
"We would like to discuss with His Majesty!"
"It's a pity that His Majesty didn't give us any chance at all, and he didn't even want to meet us."
"Yes, His Majesty hasn't been to court these days, so how can we talk about it?"
Another old minister replied with a bitter smile, looking very helpless.
"I'm afraid His Majesty has been enjoying the tenderness of beauties in the harem these days?"
"Your Majesty..."
Many ministers looked at each other and complained in low voices.
Hearing this, the general looked anxious and frowned.
"What does Your Majesty want to do? How can you not even discuss it? If this goes on, how can we fight the war?"
"Your Majesty is getting more and more willful and naughty!"
"Yes, we old bones are almost pissed off by His Majesty!"
Many ministers sighed and sighed, looking depressed.
The other ministers who didn't speak also looked worried and sighed.
For this expedition to the Apocalypse Domain, His Majesty did not issue any other orders except for the order to mobilize the army.
No one in the court of the Great Qin knew the specific details, including the ministers.
They had originally expected His Majesty to call them together to discuss specific measures to fight against the Apocalypse Domain, but they had not seen His Majesty at all in the past few days.
Moreover, in recent days, the harem of His Majesty has also been filled with the sounds of singing and dancing, which is very beautiful.
All these prove that His Majesty did not take the war seriously at all.
"Don't panic, everyone. Since His Majesty did not call everyone to discuss, it means that His Majesty must have thought about it a long time ago. Perhaps he has already thought of a way to deal with the enemy, but he just doesn't want to tell us."
An old man in a green shirt stood at the head of the team, with a kind and kind face, tall and straight, and calm eyes.
It was the current national teacher, Du Yulin.
"Master Du is right. Your Majesty is wise and brave, and has extraordinary strategies. He must have thought of a solution. We don't need to worry too much!"
Minister Wang Xing nodded and agreed.
The other ministers looked at each other, their expressions still not relaxed, obviously they didn't think so for the time being.
"The most urgent thing is to get His Majesty to show up as soon as possible. It's almost noon, why hasn't His Majesty come yet..."
A minister whispered.
The expressions of many ministers became more and more strange after hearing this.
"Your Majesty is not still in the gentle land, forgetting that today is the day of the expedition?"
"According to His Majesty's character, this is really possible..."
"Ridiculous... It's really too ridiculous..."
The ministers sighed one after another, with anxious expressions on their faces.
Under the city wall, the onlookers and monks couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Huh? Why hasn't His Majesty appeared yet?"
"We haven't really been abandoned by His Majesty, have we..."
"This is troublesome..."
"I don't think so. Although His Majesty is a little ridiculous, he is not such a person..."
"I hope so..."
Qin Mu has never shown up, making the whole Chang'an City fall into a dull and depressing atmosphere.
Until dusk, when the sun was setting and dusk fell, he did not appear.
This made the countless people and monks gathered under the city wall more and more agitated, and they even began to suspect that Qin Mu had really abandoned them.
Even a group of ministers could not sit still.
His Majesty, he really did not show up for such an important matter. How... how is this possible?
In this case, can this battle still be won?
"What is your Majesty doing? Why hasn't he shown up yet..."
Some ministers muttered in a low voice, looking confused and full of suspicion.
More people were panicked, and their hearts fell to the bottom of the valley.
Even if he was immersed in the land of gentleness, he should have shown up by now, right?
Did your Majesty really abandon the Great Qin and run away alone to seek refuge?
As soon as this thought came to mind, they trembled all over, and cold sweat flowed down.
Du Yulin, the national teacher, was also a little uneasy.
His brows were furrowed, and a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
But in the end, he didn't say anything, but secretly clenched his fists, hiding his inner anxiety and worry.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Here he comes! His Majesty is here!!"
In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look.
At this moment -
Suddenly, a rumbling sound of thunder came from the air in the distance.
Then a dazzling silver-white meteor broke through the sky, shot straight to the sky above the general's platform, and landed in the center of the general's platform.
The meteor emitted infinite brilliance, illuminating the entire Chang'an City like daylight.
I saw a magnificent dragon chariot slowly coming from the depths of the city.
