Chapter 336
Shen Tang’s eyes lit up; he almost forgot Xiao Jin had awakened the Instant Teleportation Ability. He arrived at Greenfield City in the blink of an eye, and now he’s advanced to the Ninth Rank, his strength formidable, carrying his own war buff.
Sending Xiao Jin to quell the unrest is the perfect choice!
Shen Tang turned to look at Shi Ye and the others, nodding with a deep voice, “Alright, let’s decide on that. I’ll issue an order for Xiao Jin to take the troops back to the city with you for reinforcement, ensuring the riot is quelled and the city walls are completed smoothly p>
Speaking, she glanced back at Xiao Jin, “Is ten thousand troops enough for you p>
“For such a petty scenario, I alone am sufficient p>
Xiao Jin wasn’t deliberately boasting in front of the female; back in the battlefield, he could break into the rebel army’s camp alone and behead the main general.
Handling the border city rebellion is more than enough.
Shen Tang laughed and cried, “Don’t overexert yourself; two fists are no match for four hands. Even an elephant or tiger fears ants. Alone against thousands, you’d be defenseless. They can fail countless times, but if you take the bait just once, you’re finished p>
This silly leopard’s got muscles but no brains. The opposition might not rival his strength, but a little brainwork might trip him up.
Shen Tang couldn’t just let the foolish leopard go alone.
“Five thousand elite troops will suffice.” Xiao Jin, perhaps recalling past events, became noticeably cautious.
Yet, this scoundrel’s tone remained obnoxiously arrogant, practically begging for a beating, “I hereby pledge in military order, within five days, I’ll quell the unrest! The rebels will be handled obediently! Or else… I’ll go out and guard the gate p>
Before Shen Tang could berate him, Xiao Jin rushed forward like an arrow, hugged her waist, and kissed her!
Shen Tang’s eyes widened suddenly, while Shi Ye and the others quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see!
Shen Tang’s face blushed slightly; in front of so many people, that rascal leopard was really audacious!
She raised her hand, wanting to vent with a beating. Yet, before she could, after successfully stealing a kiss, Xiao Jin adeptly fled, disappearing in an instant.
Shen Tang couldn’t help but laugh; she was really at a loss with him.
Half an hour later.
Shen Tang stood on the city wall, watching the troops below ready to depart.
Five thousand elite, grand and imposing.
Xiao Jin stood at the forefront of the army.
After Shen Tang’s official coronation as Monarch, she restored Xiao Jin’s military rank.
This was the first time she saw Xiao Jin properly dressed in military uniform.
Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao both come from military backgrounds, but the impression they gave her was completely different.
Xiao Jin’s face and physique were flawless, the uniform on him exuded a kind of unbridled allure, but his entire being exuded a sense of casual defiance, not quite like a regular army soldier.
If Lu Xiao was an unsheathed blade, just placed there, enough to exude an imposing awe inspiring fear.
Then Xiao Jin was a long sword without a scabbard, a loaded pistol ready to fire, as if born to stand on the battlefield, bathed in blood, living with life and death.
At home, this scoundrel man was quite tame and quiet, yet it was clear—upon hearing about going to war, he brimmed with arrogant excitement!
Shen Tang watched as Xiao Jin led the troops away, disappearing beyond the horizon.
She turned around to return to the courtyard.
Attendants escorted her all the way.
The Beastmen saw the Monarch had ascended the throne but still lived in such a remote old courtyard, mixed feelings arose, although it was tidied up clean and warm, it really didn’t match the kingly style, and if word got out, what would other nations think.
Someone suggested, “Your Highness, since you’ve ascended the throne, should you consider renovating the Imperial Palace p>
Originally, a newly crowned Emperor would continue using the palace handed down through generations. If renovation was needed, it could be planned in advance.
But this coronation ceremony was too rushed; the heir was hastily chosen; everything was done in haste. Fortunately, the result was stunningly perfect, more sensational than any coronation in history!
Unfortunately, the Old Imperial City was destroyed; the palace needs reconstruction, which will undeniably consume time, manpower, and finances, destined to be a major project!
Nonetheless, this is the Emperor’s dignity; otherwise, not even having a place to receive envoys would be unreasonable!
“No need to rush this matter; we’ll discuss it later.” Shen Tang sighed lightly, “Currently, the Empire is amid turmoil; resources in various regions are tight, rebuilding the palace now is unwise. It’s better to send resources to assist disaster areas, settle displaced people and refugees p>
The Beastmen were extremely moved by these words; it was the first time they had encountered such a wise Monarch!
[Ding, congratulations host, Imperial City’s public sentiment +10 p>
This matter was temporarily shelved; what worried Shen Tang more was, the unrest in Qingchuan City wasn’t accidental; it was inevitable.
If the current situation isn’t changed, more cities will experience unrest.
Throughout history, military force has been the most effective means to suppress rebellion!
The Imperial City must possess strong military power, or else it will be counterattacked by regional governments sooner or later.
Shen Tang arranged part of the workforce to construct a Basic military factory, capable of producing advanced weapons to enhance military strength in a short time!
Building a military factory requires substantial resources, but fortunately, Shen Tang still has a Resource Gift Package, ensuring the project’s smooth completion.
Since ascending the throne, Shen Tang, the Emperor, hasn’t enjoyed much luxury; she’s been kept busy day in and day out, appearing noticeably more haggard, which Lu Xiao and the others saw and felt sorry for, knowing nothing could be done, as this was what she had to do on her imperial path.
Lu Xiao, as the Beast Husband, could only be more gentle and considerate, helping her manage state affairs and family matters.
In the evening, Lu Xiao habitually drove to the Ministry of Revenue’s entrance to pick up Shen Tang after her meeting.
Shen Tang seemed like a donkey after grinding grain, slumping in the passenger seat, too tired to even move her fingers.
In no time, she tilted her head, resting against the man’s broad shoulder.
Lu Xiao turned his head, seeing her asleep with closed eyes, p>
The speed of the car slowed down.
Originally, a ten-minute journey took over half an hour.
By the time they reached home, Lu Xiao parked, and his shoulder was already sore.
He turned his face, his thin lips brushed against her hair like a gentle breeze, akin to a light kiss.
A deep, magnetic voice sounded beside her ear, “Female Master, we’re home p>
Shen Tang awoke from a nap, finding herself leaning against Lu Xiao’s shoulder. She didn’t know for how long.
Just as Shen Tang was about to get up, Lu Xiao’s hand landed on her waist, and with a flicker of her view, she found herself seated on his long, strong legs, enveloped by his deep, rich breath, feeling extraordinarily secure.
Lu Xiao lowered his head to kiss her forehead gently, speaking in a warm voice, “Do you want to rest for a bit? I can give you a massage to relax your body p>
The ambiguous atmosphere in the car, their intertwined breaths made Shen Tang think of a certain indescribable massage method. Some pedestrians passed not far away, “Really not appropriate p>
Lu Xiao saw the female’s flushed face, knowing exactly what naughty thoughts she had, chuckled, “Bad female p>
Shen Tang rarely saw him teasing, suddenly felt mischievous, and her waist no longer ached, nor did her legs. She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in and exhaling, “Mm ~ I can be even worse, want to try p>
Lu Xiao gently massaged her waist, half-smiling, “May I ask, if the Ministry of Revenue questions why Your Majesty hasn’t arrived tomorrow, how should I respond p>
The King’s dignity can’t be compromised!
Ultimately, Shen Tang dared not indulge in mischief, obediently letting Lu Xiao massage her for relaxation.
Ah! Honestly, Lu Xiao’s full mark course is no joke.
He tended to her every need brilliantly!
