Chapter 1031: Meeting
The loss of the Nanjiang Royal Court, the capture of Profound Spirit Taoist and Chi Tian, the total annihilation of Barbarian Slayer, Wildland Suppression and King Slayer, and the serious injuries Wei Nanhua suffered were transmitted to the Chu capital and entered the ears of the most respected person of Chu at first notice.
Right now, the air inside the Chu imperial palace—also known as Qian Yuan Palace and the symbol of power and status in Chu—was so silent, so suffocating, that one could hear a pin drop.
A few breaths later, a man opened his mouth and said accusingly, “What has happened to the war situation in Nanjiang, General Li?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a handsome face and a long, refined beard. Right now though, his eyes were sharp and threatening.
His name was Cui Qingshan. He was the Director of the Imperial Secretariat of Chu.
“Don’t you already know, Director Cui?” Another man answered.
The other speaker was in his fifties, refined in manner yet soldierly in appearance. His eyes were deep and unfathomable like seas of stars.
His name was Li Chengzhong, and he was the Strategist-Generalissimo of Chu. He was also the man responsible for supervising the armies of Chu and general military affairs.
“I am aware of the outcome, but not the process,” Cui Qingshan said.
