Chapter 455 Conversation with Yu Shu
"Your Majesty, this is important intelligence that the secret guards have just sent back." Yu Shu held a jade slip that emitted a faint light in both hands, walked respectfully and carefully to Qin Wu, and then gently handed the jade slip to Qin Wu's outstretched right hand.
Qin Wu accepted the jade slip expressionlessly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his deep eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes slightly, mobilized his powerful divine sense, and instantly poured it into the jade slip to carefully examine the confidential information contained within.
The jade slip was covered with detailed records of the recent activities of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
From their internal power shifts and resource allocation to their diplomatic relations with other ethnic groups and the various conspiracies and schemes they secretly plot, everything is clearly visible in great detail.
Qin Wu quickly scanned all the intelligence information, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.
He thought to himself, "These dragons are truly arrogant! Back then, they were indeed the undisputed number one power in the world, but after all these years, they are still unable to extricate themselves from their past glory, to the point that that arrogance of looking down on everyone is deeply imprinted in their bones. Hmph, but it's fine, I look forward to the day when I can personally shatter their so-called arrogance and watch them fall from the clouds to the mortal world in such a pathetic state. It would be quite interesting... The sense of accomplishment from personally destroying the dignity and confidence of the enemy would be unparalleled!" Thinking of this, Qin Wu's eyes became even colder and sharper, as if he could already see the scene of that thrilling battle in the future.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, Yu Shu asked with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, in your opinion, should we secretly cause some trouble for the Dragon Clan? That way, we can curb their arrogant arrogance!"
Qin Wu's lips curled into a slight, disdainful sneer: "There's no need to rush into action. Their attempt to sit back and watch the tigers fight won't be so easy!"
Qin Wu was perfectly aware of the dragon clan's scheme.
These guys just want to wait until they're cornered before suddenly helping them, then take the opportunity to ask them for the method to obtain the Great Dao merit, or to find out the secret to perfectly integrating luck and domain without being affected by backlash.
Did they really think he, Qin Wu, was an utterly foolish idiot? Thinking this, Qin Wu felt a surge of anger.
At this moment, Yu Shu, her face filled with resentment, said bitterly, "But Your Majesty, are we just going to stand by and watch them scheme and do nothing? This servant simply cannot swallow this insult!"
In Yu Shu's view, such treacherous and cunning groups should be dealt with ruthlessly and severely so that they can recognize the situation and dare not have any more improper thoughts.
However, Qin Wu remained remarkably calm in the face of Yu Shu's slightly impatient demeanor. He coldly smiled again and said, "Don't rush, don't rush. I will keep a record of this debt and settle accounts with them slowly when the time is right."
After all, given the current situation, it is not yet the best time to completely turn against the Dragon Clan, but Qin Wu firmly believes that the day of his revenge and reckoning will come sooner or later.
"By the way, let's put this matter aside for now. The four of you must seize every minute and second to cultivate and do your best to improve your cultivation level. You must not let your cultivation fall behind others!" Qin Wu frowned and said with a serious expression.
Clearly, he didn't want to delve deeper into the matter of the dragons, so he cleverly changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the four of us sisters are taking turns on duty. Whenever we have free time, we immediately enter a state of seclusion to concentrate on our cultivation, and we will never allow our cultivation to stagnate or regress." Yu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and explained respectfully.
She knew perfectly well that the Emperor had bestowed upon them the same generous treatment as imperial concubines—what an immense favor and trust this was.
Therefore, they dared not be complacent or slack in the slightest, and could not relax their demands on themselves because of their existing achievements in cultivation.
Hearing Yu Shu's words, Qin Wu nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction: "Very good. Although you are unwilling to enter the palace as concubines, you are still my people after all. I sincerely hope that you can always stay by my side, together reach the pinnacle of this world, and look down upon all living beings."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the four women, including Yu Shu, one by one, his eyes revealing a firmness and expectation.
Qin Wu thought to himself that he was quite at ease with Yu Shu and the other three women.
Otherwise, they would never have been brought under their wing and appointed as female officials, instead of being directly incorporated into the harem.
After all, only those who are truly trustworthy and possess certain strength and potential are qualified to receive such special treatment.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! We servants understand perfectly well what you mean." Yu Shu nodded slightly, her eyes fixed firmly on Qin Wu, a hint of confidence emanating from her beautiful face.
It should be noted that over the years, Yu Shu has served Qin Wu faithfully and is very familiar with His Majesty's thoughts and preferences.
Whether it was the ever-changing political landscape of the court or the power struggles within the harem, Yu Shu was always able to accurately discern His Majesty's intentions with her keen insight and intelligent mind, and to wholeheartedly carry out every task assigned by His Majesty.
It is precisely for this reason that His Majesty trusts and values Yu Shu greatly, entrusting her with many important matters.
This time, faced with His Majesty's entrustment, Yu Shu did not hesitate at all and readily agreed, expressing that he would live up to His Majesty's expectations and handle the matter properly.
"Alright, then you may go down first!" Qin Wu nodded slightly, shifting his gaze from Yu Shu, and said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shu quickly bowed respectfully and replied softly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, he slowly turned around and walked out of the room with light and steady steps, only stopping when he reached the door.
After Yu Shu left, Qin Wu was left alone in the room.
He strolled over to the enormous star map, gazing at its intricate lines and markings, his brow furrowed as he fell into deep thought.
This star map provides detailed information on the current troop deployments, strategic locations, and possible attack routes of both sides.
Qin Wu knew that the outcome of a war often depended on the planning and strategy employed before the battle.
Therefore, he must be extremely cautious about this upcoming battle and cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.
Qin Wu stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the star map, as if touching the unseen enemy defenses.
He would sometimes pause and gaze at a key point, and sometimes close his eyes to silently ponder a solution.
Time passed second by second. Qin Wu focused intently on the star map before him, constantly analyzing various possibilities and trying to find the most perfect tactical plan.
