“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Seeing Yu Yunping’s body swaying, the ministers surrounding him looked panicked.

Upon hearing the news of the frontline’s defeat, everyone was shocked beyond measure.

They knew what the fall of Shanhai Pass meant.

It meant that there were no more dangerous passes in the northern part of the Xia Country, and it was entirely a flat plain.

As long as the Northern Wolf Empire wants to, they could come south and trample the entire north in no time.

Perhaps, the army of the Northern Wolf was already on its way!

At this thought, everyone became restless.

Yu Yunping cannot break down right now; if the Emperor falls, so does the Xia Country!

“Lost…”

Yu Yunping hadn’t fully recovered from the news, his eyes were dull, as he leaned against the city wall.

He couldn’t believe that Shanhai Pass had fallen in just a few days?

The ministers, seeing the state of the New Emperor, exchanged anxious glances.

At the side, a minister spoke cautiously.

“Your Majesty, we must think this through!”

“Yes, the Northern Alien Races will be at the capital city any time, and it will be too late!”

“Or… let’s move the capital.”

The ministers, one after another, surprisingly agreed to move the capital to the south.

“Silence!”

Yu Yunping roared and drew the Treasured Sword from his waist.

There was a cold glare.

He raised the sword and slashed!

With a “swish,” a brick on the city wall was cut in half.

“Whoever dares to talk about moving the capital will end up like this brick!” Yu Yunping’s gaze was sharp and severe.

This scare was substantial for the ministers, who were all cold and sweat, their eyes full of fear.

They knew that the Emperor was indeed capable of ordering a beheading.

So they dared not speak, just shrunk to the side of the city wall.

Yu Yunping took a deep breath, his gaze regained its composure.

He hadn’t lost yet!

Even though Shanhai Pass was lost, he still had the Imperial Guards of the capital city and the Garrison Army of Guanzhong.

With the tall and solid capital city, it might still be defensible.

Just half a month was needed.

Then the King Qin’s southern army would arrive as reinforcements.

At that time, with the entire country’s troops, totaling close to seven hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand, all stationed in the capital, could the Northern Alien Races still break through the human wall and behead him?

In other words-

He still had a chance.

Yu Yunping tried to comfort himself with such thoughts.

“Report! ”

At this moment-

An official from the civil li department hurried to the city wall with a pale face, clearly having an urgent matter to report.

Yu Yunping had a bad feeling but remained calm.

He must not panic now; if he panics, wouldn’t the people below become leaderless?

So he said lightly:

“What is the matter? Report quickly.”

The message-bearing official wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice quivering, and anxiously said, “Your Majesty, there are urgent reports from Hezhong Protectorate, Gusu Prefecture, Tianjin Prefecture, Fufeng County, Sacred Dragon County, and other places. More than half of the southern region, led by Nanyu Prefecture, has started a rebellion!”

“Rebellion? What’s going on!”

Yu Yunping’s heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbing the sleeve of the message-bearing official, his face changed dramatically, and he demanded in a cold and angry voice:

“Explain!”

“It’s the remnants of the Yan Country…the remnants of the Yan Country!”

The message-bearing official stammered, facing the terrifying New Emperor.

“The Yan Country remnants…they publicly declared that they would restore their nation, receive the surrender of our lands, and the Crown Prince of Yan… Before hearing the end of the message, Yu Yunping’s face turned pale.

His lips trembling, his mouth open, he took several steps back.

He uttered just two words.

“It’s over…”

His face lost all color, leaving only a frail body swaying in the wind.

His days and nights of hard work amounted to nothing, and his unrewarded efforts ultimately took a toll on him.

Finally, he collapsed.

Not only Yu Yunping, but also the surrounding ministers were shocked by the news.

“What? More than half of the southern region has surrendered to Yan Country?”

“This must be fake news, right? How could the remnants of the Yan Country be so powerful?”

“What should we do if the south has become Yan Country’s territory?!” “It’s over, we can’t even move the capital now, it’s really over!” For a moment, the entire city wall boiled with commotion.

Some ministers’ eyes began to wander, obviously considering retreat.

They didn’t want to die with the Xia Country.

It hadn’t reached that point yet.

They came to seal their wives and receive honors, not to give their lives.

The Northern Wolf Empire was full of aliens, so they would undoubtedly treat the people of the Xia Country cruelly.

They didn’t want to fall into the hands of the Alien tribes and become slaves.

In the centuries-old traditional view, northern aliens were unreasonable, rude, and impolite people.

Some were already leaving the city, rushing home to make arrangements. Of course, there were also officials staying on the city wall, most of them young.

They were all disciples from humble families who Yu Yunping had promoted.

For friends, a man will die; for beauty, a woman will accommodate.

It was the New Emperor who promoted them, and they naturally vowed to follow him to the death.

“Someone! Take His Majesty back to the palace!”

A young scholar shouted anxiously, wearing a light-colored official robe, clearly a civil secretary type.

Only they would often be by the Emperor’s side.

The Imperial Guards on both sides, seeing this scene, proactively escorted Yu Yunping to the carriage with a yellow canopy.

The emaciated Red -eyed Golden Dragon of the capital city’s national fortune hovered above the palace, sending out its last dying cry before vanishing suddenly..
