Human Clan Defender-Chapter 728 - s The Holy Slaying Blade, Defeating the Emperor (Four-in-One, Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

That was his personal eunuch, who handled his daily affairs. During the daily court meetings, he would also serve by his side.

"What has happened?" The Liang Emperor's voice was somewhat low.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch bowed and said, "Just now, Your Majesty was somewhat distracted. Minister Huang just reported some matters and is now waiting for Your Majesty's decision!"

"Hmm." The Liang Emperor rubbed his temples, feeling a hint of weariness. Then, he looked towards a person in the lower part of the court.

"What exactly did Minister Huang just say? I was somewhat distracted and didn't hear clearly."

"Ah, it's like this—" Minister Huang was startled and was preparing to report again when the Liang Emperor suddenly waved his hand. "Never mind. If it's not anything particularly urgent, then let's discuss it tomorrow. What I am more concerned about today is the situation with the attack on Great Qin. Is there any news?"

He felt a sense of unease, as if something unpleasant had occurred. Currently, the Great Liang Dynasty was at peace and its people were safe; it was unlikely that anything significant could happen. The only major event was the military campaign led by Ran An and Beiming Wang against Great Qin. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials looked at each other in consternation. After a moment, someone stepped forward. "Your Majesty, there has been some delay in the reports of the army's movements. According to the timetable, by today, they should have already breached the Fallen Saint Pass. With an army of eight million, once Fallen Saint Pass is taken, conquering Luo'an Prefecture is only a matter of time. We just need to wait a few more days for the victorious reports to come in."

"Hmm." The Liang Emperor nodded slightly. Despite these assurances, a sense of unease lingered in his heart. Under normal circumstances, with Ran An having broken into the Saint Rank and assisted by an army of eight million, mere Luo'an Prefecture should undoubtedly be unable to hold out. On Great Qin's side, although they had quite a few formidable experts, they were all slightly inferior compared to Ran An. In terms of top-tier powerhouses, his own side held the advantage. Regarding the size of the army, Great Liang, allied with Dayue, could not be matched by a Great Qin that had not yet recovered its vitality. Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Great Qin was doomed to defeat. Thinking of this, the Liang Emperor's anxious heart gradually calmed.

Just as he was about to speak, someone quietly appeared in the middle of the court, seemingly from nowhere.

"Who goes there!"

"Who dares to intrude?"

"Guards!"

Seeing the stranger, all the ministers' faces changed, and they roared in anger. The guards outside heard the commotion and rushed in immediately, surrounding the intruder.

"You are Shen Changqing!"

On the imperial throne, the Liang Emperor's expression did not change much. Although this was the first time he was seeing the man in person, he had seen his portrait more than once. After all, the man was considered a pillar of Great Qin. As the Emperor of Great Liang, he couldn't possibly be without any knowledge of such a powerhouse.

Shen Changqing! Following the Liang Emperor's words, all the ministers in the court were inwardly shocked. They could not have failed to hear Shen Changqing's name. Therefore, what his name represented was self-evident.

"Liang Emperor!" Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor calm despite being surrounded. As the Liang Emperor watched him, Shen Changqing was also quietly sizing up the other man. This person before him was a contemporary of the Great Zhou Divine Shepherd's Mastery. But compared to Gu Xuanji, he had ascended the throne about ten or twenty years later. Mu Shentong. Shen Changqing had already encountered him. Now, looking at the Liang Emperor, the latter's presence and attitude were hardly inferior to Mu Shentong's. Such an unshakable presence amidst turmoil was not something others could match.

"You may all retreat!" The Liang Emperor waved his hand, and the guards who had rushed in retreated as ordered. Afterward, he looked towards Shen Changqing.

"You, as the Great Qin Defender, have come alone into the Great Liang Capital. Could it be that you wish to carry out a decapitation plan and take my life personally?" The Liang Emperor spoke calmly, his voice devoid of emotion. The other ministers maintained grave expressions, but none dared to interject. Shen Changqing had arrived here as if no one else was present; he surely had a purpose. The man was the Great Qin Defender. In terms of status, he was barely inferior to an Emperor. Thus, the dialogue between the Liang Emperor and him was not something others could interrupt.

"Whether I have come to take the Liang Emperor's life will depend on the decision Your Majesty makes shortly. As for carrying out a decapitation plan, Your Majesty has misunderstood." Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Liang Emperor's expression remained calm. "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Changqing said, "The allied forces of Great Liang and Dayue, numbering eight million, attacked Luo'an Prefecture. With a Saint Rank Defender Envoy personally in command, their momentum was indeed formidable. If this had been when the previous Emperor Qin had just passed away, perhaps Great Liang really could have breached Luo'an Prefecture. Unfortunately, Great Liang's intelligence is too outdated. The Liang Emperor, secluded within the deep palace, is even more ignorant of the changes in the outside world."

As Shen Changqing spoke, the Liang Emperor's expression grew increasingly grim.

Then, Shen Changqing continued, "Ran An's strength was indeed considerable, but unfortunately, I have slain him before the Fallen Saint Pass. The allied forces of Great Liang and Dayue have also retreated. It won't be long before the battle reports reach here. It's a pity, but I am no longer willing to wait that long. I have come to the Great Liang Capital now to offer the Liang Emperor a choice. If you are willing to incorporate Great Liang into Great Qin, then I can show leniency and give you a way to live. But if the Liang Emperor refuses to surrender, then I will cleanse the entire Imperial Palace before taking over all of Great Liang."
