The General was imprisoned in the harem

  Volume 1: The Stormy Regency 003 The General is Imprisoned in the Imperial Harem

  The moon is still visible at dawn.

  The extravagance and bloody smell that had been floating in the camp for days have now dissipated, the sky is rarely calm, not stained with a single thread of blood, after several days, the military camp finally welcomed the tranquility and solemnity of the past.

  If it were the Regent's future, at this moment, all the soldiers in the entire camp had already assembled and were waiting to be dispatched. The morning exercise was also proceeding with great enthusiasm, with loud shouts of killing that shook the sky and reached the clouds, like countless sharp swords, rapidly heading west, shooting towards the military camp thirty miles away, with a majestic momentum, piercing the ears, and chilling to hear.

  Nowadays, this place is all silent and deserted, with a depressed atmosphere.

  The man in the green robe knelt before the tent, his head hung low. A night of cold wind had seeped into his bones, his long hair scattered across his chest, covering his face. His slender figure now seemed even more fragile. Even after kneeling for a whole night in the cold wind, his body numb with stiffness, it was nothing compared to the fear that gripped his heart.

  Feng Ao Tian did not sleep all night, thinking that she might fall into a dangerous situation of conspiracy and harm at any time, so she felt like a thorn in her back, she had to take the initiative to attack first, and absolutely could not wait for death.

  Qiguó and Fèngguó are just small border countries, compared to the vast and powerful nations on this continent, they are really not worth worrying about. However, these small countries have not formed friendly relations with each other, but instead harbor ambitions, plotting how to annex neighboring countries to expand their own territory. As a result, wars have been ongoing for a hundred years, although both countries have suffered losses, until now, neither has achieved its goal.

  This time, Jingguo once again provoked the incident between the two countries, and also knew that Fengguo was no longer what it used to be, with a disheartened army and an unstable country.

  Two years ago, the previous emperor passed away, and the current emperor was young. The empress dowager did not ask about state affairs, and the regent king monopolized power, but he did not do anything beneficial to the country or the people. In these two short years, Fengguo's economy and agriculture stagnated, and with consecutive natural disasters, the people had no harvest, and the court had no intention of sympathizing with them. On the contrary, it increased taxes, causing the people to become homeless and suffer unbearable hardships.

  This is also the case, in the imperial court, all officials are in danger, all talented and beautiful young men and women, whether they have outstanding talents or not, have been summoned by the regent king to enter the harem, even if they have a lot of talent and passion, they have become soft and weak.

  It's not just that, but also the innocent deaths of over 200 officials who were upright and uncorrupted, including those who were implicated and executed together with them. Now, in today's court, everyone is afraid of the regent king's cruel methods, so who would be willing to serve the court wholeheartedly? It's already not easy for one to stay alive.

  She was well aware of the pros and cons, in these two years, how many people have died at Feng Ao Tian's hands? At least tens of millions.

  A boat can be carried by water, but it can also be capsized by water. The troubles caused in the past two years, can they be made up for in just one morning and evening?

  The morning glow fills the sky, and the dawn light is soft and warm.

  Feng Ao Tian walked out of the camp, wearing a black narrow-sleeved python robe with golden thread embroidered at the cuffs, his black hair tied up and secured with a gold-inlaid crown, his tall and straight figure, his handsome and elegant face, but those pair of eyes as cold as an icy pool, no matter how brilliant the light was, it couldn't melt the chill in his eyes.

  "Your Highness..." The green-robed man gritted his teeth, slightly raised his eyes, and his voice was almost hoarse.

  Feng Ao Tian Jing walked past him, ignoring him as if he didn't exist. She knew that someone who could bring harm to her wouldn't change his intentions just because she was being kind now. It's better to let him destroy himself than to try to change him.

  He sneered, knowing in his heart that the Regent King was always ruthless. His dry lips curled up, and after Feng Ao Tian left, he looked up and laughed coldly. The sunlight was piercing to the eyes, shining directly into his pupils. He knew that revenge had become a luxury, and he reached out to touch the still-beating heart, now fallen into an endless abyss.

  "Fourth喜, lead the way to the council hall." The morning light shone on her straight back, radiating a brilliant aura that made people dare not look directly at her. The patrolling soldiers hastily bowed their heads and stood aside, fearing that the ruthless regent king would vent his anger on them or take a liking to one of them, which would mean they had lived long enough.

  Feng Ao Tian came to the border this time, someone deliberately led her here, and the person who whispered in her ear also intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he had seen a person who looked exactly like the former emperor at the border. That's why she would disregard danger, leave the capital far behind, and specially come to conquer and punish.

  Recalling the day before, when she woke up, the Qi Guo soldiers who came in a hurry looked at her still alive, with a look of surprise in their eyes. Moreover, she had profound martial arts skills, which was well-known to everyone, but the leader seemed to have the upper hand, not fearing her, and was confident that he could kill her easily. It can be seen that yesterday's danger was also closely related to Qi Guo, but if there were no insiders, Qi Guo would find it difficult to succeed.

  It doesn't matter who she is for now, it will be investigated later. The urgent task at hand is to quickly calm down the border war situation and prevent her from being replaced in the capital because of her departure.

  Although it is impossible to regain the trust of the border generals, it is also necessary to stabilize the military's morale. After she returns to the capital, it is also necessary to ensure that no more turmoil occurs in the border area for a short period of time, so that she can cultivate capable and victorious generals.

  Si Xi slightly shifted his body, respectfully leading the way. He could sense that since the Regent returned to camp yesterday, things were vastly different from before. Now, far away from the capital, people unfamiliar with the Regent wouldn't notice, but he had followed his adoptive father for five whole years and was extremely familiar with the Regent's temperament. The Regent, who used to be easy to read, had become unfathomable, leaving him perplexed - what exactly happened yesterday?

  This time, the dry father specially sent him to attend to the regent king in person. It was also his first time serving in front of the regent king, so he was even more careful and cautious, afraid that if he was slightly careless, he would offend the regent king. Even if he had any perception, he wouldn't have any reaction.

  Before Feng Ao Tian entered the council hall, a loud roar came from inside the camp, "Hmph, I Li Su don't fear losing my head, death is just death. Rather than living in such suffocation, it's better to have a quick end. Tell me, this Regent King has been in the military camp for six days, what has he done besides seeking pleasure and killing people? Now that the great enemy is before us, the soldiers' morale is low, each one as nervous as a startled bird, who still has the heart to fight? Moreover, with a tyrant on the throne, the common people have no peace or security, while we brave warriors who risk our lives to protect our country and homes are now playthings for him to toy with. If this continues, it's better for us to surrender and open the city gates, let the enemy troops in, rather than being tormented to death by him. Think about it, two years ago General Leng was summoned back to the capital and imprisoned in the palace, his life or death still unknown. Is it not because General Leng had an order for us to guard the border that I Li Su would suffer such humiliation? Now, truly, it's as if heaven wants to destroy our Feng country!

  "How bold!"
