Chapter 887: Slapping Faces One by One, Feels Awesome

Ye Xiu was also anxious, seeing the expressions of the white-haired old man, the Ministry of Military Affairs bigwig, and Kristina. The content of Qin Qing’s telegram reply must be incredibly explosive.

"Um..."

Kristina hesitated for a moment, ultimately too embarrassed to read it aloud.

So she handed the telegram to Ye Xiu, saying:

"You read it!"

Ye Xiu was immediately bewildered. You all are too afraid to read it, and now you’re tossing the hot potato to me?

Do you think I’m fearless?

Ye Xiu took the telegram, and with just one glance, his mouth twitched, and he asked:

"Little Princess, why not let someone else read this?"

"You read it," Kristina said.

"Read it, quickly, read it out loud!" Lin Lei urged.

Since you’ve put it this way, don’t blame me for being rude!

Ye Xiu began to read out loud:

"Lin Lei, how do you teach your son? I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I helped you beat him to death. You can have another one, raise him well, teach him well. If you still can’t teach him properly, just let me know, I’ll help beat him to death."

After finishing, Ye Xiu watched as the atmosphere of anger suddenly became weird and incredibly serious, with only the sound of breathing remaining.

And the faces of Lin Lei and everyone present all turned the color of pig liver, as a murderous aura raged within the Thousand Mechanism Hall.

Especially Lin Lei!

Ye Xiu felt that Lin Lei’s head seemed three times bigger out of anger!

Alas!

Qin Qing’s scolding is too harsh, what if it makes Lin Lei explode in anger?

"It seems that Lei Xiaoming’s judgment is more accurate; Lin Mu and the civilian Martial Artist army have indeed been completely annihilated."

Seeing the somber atmosphere in the Thousand Mechanism Hall, Kristina was the first to break the deadlock, feeling impossibly delighted at the moment.

She was so happy she wanted to do the splits!

Truly the guard she had chosen;

Truly the potential stock she believed could surpass and restrain Ye Xiu;

Truly the most knowledgeable person in the Royal City;

Lei Xiaoming made her proud!

"Alas, I am ultimately too young and inexperienced, lacking practical combat experience. I must learn more from the seniors." Ye Xiu said modestly.

Slap!

Lin Lei felt like the words were a slap to his face by Ye Xiu.

Wasn’t this exactly the same thing he told Ye Xiu before!

Kristina almost burst out laughing. ’Lei Xiaoming’ holds grudges too much, even daring to slap the King’s face in public.

"Cough, Lei Xiaoming, you truly are young and promising. From now on, stay in the Thousand Mechanism Hall and participate more in military discussions."

Lin Lei, with an awkward smile, apologized to Ye Xiu, though deep down he wished he could slap Ye Xiu twice.

Ye Xiu didn’t care about Lin Lei’s attitude and continued:

"Alas, I should still talk less and listen more to avoid misleading everyone’s decisions and judgments."

Slap!

The white-haired old man’s face turned fiery red immediately.

Wasn’t this exactly what he said when scolding Ye Xiu, and now Ye Xiu was clearly using it to humiliate him, to slap him in the face!

"Lei Xiaoming, don’t be too arrogant. Your previous judgment was purely a lucky guess, don’t be too pleased too soon."

The white-haired old man said angrily.

Lin Lei’s eyes lit up, realizing it was a good opportunity to suppress Ye Xiu’s arrogance, and said:

"Lei Xiaoming, please tell us your basis for judgment, how are you so certain that Lin Mu and the civilian Martial Artist army were completely annihilated?"

"Did I not say so before?"

Ye Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed:

"If the Fourth Prince and the civilian Martial Artist army had not been completely annihilated, the enemy army would not have dared to push deep and attack Red Water City. Even if they couldn’t stop the enemy army, they could at least notify His Majesty to send troops to intercept or ambush the enemy army. But instead, the enemy pushed deep, passing through so many city mansions, grandly reaching Red Water City, and no one in the Royal City knew. Clearly, the enemy encountered no resistance along the way."

"Furthermore, for the enemy army to dare to push deep and attack Red Water City, without fear of being surrounded by the Royal City, Red Water City, and other city mansion’s Martial Artist armies, sneaking up to Red Water City without anyone knowing, they must have cleared all obstacles that could expose the army’s movements. Without annihilating the Fourth Prince and the civilian Martial Artist army, they wouldn’t dare to push deep and attack Red Water City..."

Listening to Ye Xiu’s analysis, Kristina, Lin Lei, and everyone in the Thousand Mechanism Hall had to admit that ’Lei Xiaoming’ was indeed thorough in his mind, and his judgment was accurate, more than just a lucky guess.

"Lei Xiaoming, well said, beautifully said, worthy of being this Princess’s guard and a wise man introduced to the Thousand Mechanism Hall."

Kristina’s sense of honor and vanity were greatly satisfied at this moment; the better ’Lei Xiaoming’ performed, the more it proved her unique insight and extraordinary vision.

"But this white-haired gentleman said I was guessing!" Ye Xiu said.

Slap!

The white-haired old man’s face turned purple-red, angrily saying:

"I admit your judgment is very accurate and well-reasoned, not guesswork. But you are too rude, who are you calling a white-haired old man? Don’t I have a name? Young and reckless, not knowing to respect your elders, I think your character has issues."

Ye Xiu shrugged: "Earlier, you said I wasn’t worthy to know your name, so I called you the white-haired old man."

White-haired old man: "..."

Seeing the white-haired old man rendered speechless by Ye Xiu, everyone in the Thousand Mechanism Hall clicked their tongues inwardly. This comrade Lei Xiaoming is indeed sharp-tongued, and retaliates with a strong attack.

Better not provoke this kid in the future, or you’ll end up with a face full of... everyone thought!

"Alright, the Thousand Mechanism Hall is a place for discussing military affairs."

Lin Lei chided, saying:

"Back to the topic, let’s continue discussing the enemy’s shelling of Red Water City."

Swoosh!

Except for the white-haired old man, everyone else turned to look at Ye Xiu in unison.

The white-haired old man said sarcastically: "Since Lei Xiaoming is so smart, let’s hear what he has to say."

Lin Lei nodded and said to Ye Xiu: "Go ahead and speak."

"Lei Xiaoming, go ahead and speak boldly."

Kristina encouraged him, indicating that even if he’s wrong, it doesn’t matter as the Princess has his back.

Ye Xiu wasn’t shy, after all, the army attacking Red Water City was the one he sent. Even nonsense could hit the mark.

He said:

"The enemy army attacking Red Water City, within less than half a month, annihilated 1,820,000 civilian Martial Artist armies, the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince’s Imperial Guards. Their strength is beyond doubt."

Everyone nodded!

On this point, they agreed with ’Lei Xiaoming’s judgment.

Lin Lei said: "The enemy’s strength is definitely several times stronger than the civilian Martial Artist army, or even more. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to annihilate Lin Mu and his army in such a short time, not even allowing Lin Mu time to call for reinforcements before being annihilated."

The white-haired old man frowned: "What is the enemy’s purpose in attacking Red Water City? A lone army, even if it takes Red Water City, would face being surrounded by all the Royal Island’s Martial Artists, which is a path to destruction!"

Kristina said: "The enemy must have a deeper purpose for doing this."

The Ministry of Military Affairs bigwig and the think tank members spoke one after another.

Then, once again, all eyes turned to Ye Xiu!

Lin Lei asked: "Lei Xiaoming, what do you think the enemy’s plot is by attacking Red Water City?"
