In King of Glory, the "Plunder" keyword has been completely exploited by Ah Li.

In that case, once Jiang Che is completely at ease with her, and with a little guidance, it will be a natural progression to obtain the Hu Jiaqin.

This was the only way Diao Chan could think of to complete the task within three months.

Despite all the precautions, I never expected it to end up like this...

Diao Chan was heartbroken and filled with despair, feeling that her future was bleak and hopeless...

Cao Cao treated her as a pawn and naturally didn't care much about her chastity, but how could Diao Chan herself not care?

She had often fantasized about being with a man, a perfect couple, traveling the world together, growing old together, and wanting to save her precious first time for him.

Now it seems there's absolutely no chance.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath, suppressing her many emotions, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"My lord, rest assured, I will complete the task within the stipulated time..."

"I guarantee that the Huqin will be brought back to Weidu within three months..."

Cao Cao only gave her three months. If she couldn't complete the task within the specified time, Diao Chan could fully imagine her miserable fate.

"Very well, then I, the Prime Minister, will await your good news in Weidu!"

"If this mission fails..."

You know the consequences!

Cao Cao seemed not to notice Diao Chan's trembling voice, and finally threatened her before cutting off the connection.

Looking at the communication stone in her hand that had been disconnected, Diao Chan trembled, tears welled in her eyes, and she curled up into a ball, beginning to sob softly.

"Waaaaah... My life is so miserable!"

.....................

Inside the main hall of the Yun residence.

Yun Hong sat upright in the main seat, with Cheng Yaojin and Sikong Zhen sitting next to him, talking quietly.

All three were top nobles in Chang'an, possessed divine cultivation, and were all confidants of the Empress. Naturally, they had a close relationship in private.

Sikong Zhen and Yun Hong were kindred spirits in their youth, becoming close friends and calling each other brothers. Cheng Yaojin and Yun Hong had shared several years of experience guarding the frontier together, so the two also had a very good personal relationship.

Otherwise, after Yunhong left Chang'an, he wouldn't have asked Cheng Yaojin to take good care of his precious daughter Yunying.

When Yunying was young, Cheng Yaojin served as her teacher and guided her in her cultivation.

All three were high-ranking and powerful figures in Chang'an, wielding considerable military power. If this gathering had occurred in other immortal dynasties, it would have inevitably aroused suspicion among those in power, leading to their suppression in private.

But the Empress allowed the three of them to associate with each other, turning a deaf ear and not caring at all.

Putting aside the fact that all three of them were loyal to the Celestial Dynasty and had made great contributions in battle, even if they were to plot a rebellion, Wu Zetian was confident that she could suppress them without any concern.

In this world where immortality reigns supreme, Wu Zetian is already a figure who single-handedly governs a nation. Her cultivation is boundless and unparalleled throughout history. Even if the entire immortal dynasty were to betray her in an instant, Wu Zetian is confident that she can turn the tide in a flash. This is the powerful confidence that comes with absolute strength.

Apart from the three sages of Jixia Academy and some ancient gods, she is already an invincible existence in the entire world.

"After returning to Chang'an, did Brother Yun go to the palace to meet the Emperor?"

"Report to His Majesty on the battle situation on the northern frontier?"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Yun Hong and asked curiously.

"I went there yesterday. The border war is now critical. The grassland tribes in the northern wilderness have been unified by Genghis Khan and are constantly harassing the borders of the Tang Dynasty..."

"I really can't get away. After I come back this time, I have to return to the border to oversee things as soon as the International Lantern Festival ends..."

Yun Hong sighed, rubbing his temples in frustration. Knowing that Cheng Yaojin was concerned about the war on the frontier, he didn't hide anything and told him everything in detail.

Genghis Khan was the wolf king of the grassland tribes. In the last ten years, he suddenly rose to power in the northern grasslands and his momentum was unstoppable. In just a few years, he had swept through several major tribes in the northern wilderness.

The lack of attention paid to the Northern Wilderness meant that by the time the Tang Dynasty realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Otherwise, if Genghis Khan had been restrained earlier, the situation would not have become what it is today.

.........................

098: Yunying: Could it be that I've been too harsh on that scoundrel of a man lately?

If the disturbances in the northern grasslands had been detected earlier and Genghis Khan had been restrained, the situation would not have developed to this point.

Thinking about it, Yun Hong also felt quite a headache.

Genghis Khan has now fully matured and unified the entire grassland tribes. His own cultivation is also quite remarkable. It is clearly too late to try to restrain him now.

As the three were talking, a clear and melodious voice suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Old Deng, I'm back!"

Her voice was playful and cute, with a touch of liveliness.

As the sound rang out, Yun Ying's figure quickly appeared in the hall.

Looking around, Yun Ying noticed that Sikong Zhen and Cheng Yaojin were also there. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she greeted them with a smile.

"Big Beard, you're here too?"

"Uncle Sikong..."

After greeting Cheng Yaojin, Yunying turned her gaze to Sikong Zhen, who was sitting upright to the side, and greeted him sweetly, appearing very well-behaved.

When facing Cheng Yaojin, Yun Ying would be somewhat playful and lively, but when facing Sikong Zhen, she would always be honest and proper, never daring to say anything out of line in front of this Grand Minister of the Imperial Guard.

"You little girl..."

"Why………"

Yun Hong sighed and shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

Yunying has had this lively and energetic personality since she was a child, and it hasn't changed much over the years.

Yun Hong also found this quite troublesome.

Previously, he had been worried about his precious daughter's marriage, fearing that her personality would prevent her from getting married in the end.

Now it seems he has nothing to worry about.

After all, the little girl has already gone to Qingyun Manor and is living with a young man named Jiang Che...

After nearly two months of living together, even a fool could tell that the two of them had already slept together...

Upon realizing this, Yun Hong suddenly felt a little tired.

His carefully cultivated cabbage, nurtured for many years, was just eaten by a pig?

Instinctively, Yun Hong felt a surge of displeasure and asked directly.

What about your lover?

"Didn't I tell you to bring him back so your father can see him?"

"He should be here soon..."

"Since this is my first time visiting the Yun residence, I must prepare some gifts for you, Father..."

"Hehe... Daddy, don't be angry..."

Sensing her father's displeasure with Jiang Che, Yun Ying grabbed Yun Hong's arm and began shaking it incessantly, speaking in a coquettish tone.

Although Jiang Che had indeed angered her before returning to the Yun residence, he ultimately expressed his apology through his actions.

The magnanimous Miss Yun naturally wouldn't say much, and would even speak a few good words for Jiang Che in front of her father.

"527 is more like it..."

After hearing Yunying's words, Yunhong's expression softened considerably.

Putting everything else aside, at least this young man who abducted his daughter is still polite.

After returning to Chang'an, Yun Hong had already thoroughly investigated Jiang Che's background and no longer had the same urgent desire to separate the two of them.

Although Jiang Che's status was far from that of his, as a true disciple of the academy, he was still barely worthy of his beloved daughter.

Moreover, it is said that Haiyue and the Empress value Jiang Che highly, and he will surely become a favorite of the Empress in the future, a highly sought-after figure.

I just don't know his exact level of cultivation.

However, considering that Jiang Che received guidance from Haiyue, his cultivation and talent must be quite impressive.

Driven by curiosity, Yun Hong asked directly.

"Daughter, what level of cultivation does Jiang Che currently possess?"

How does it compare to you?

Feeling the aura of a Golden Core cultivator emanating from Yun Ying, Yun Hong couldn't help but feel gratified!

Although her daughter was sometimes mischievous, she never slacked off on her path of cultivation.

An eighteen-year-old Golden Core cultivator!

Even looking at the entire King's Continent, the vast land of Shenzhou, Yun Ying can definitely be considered a top genius!

Yun Hong didn't expect Jiang Che's cultivation to be anything extraordinary, but he hoped it would at least be similar to Yun Ying's.

Yun Hong had no idea that Yun Ying's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage was entirely due to Jiang Che, who had tirelessly and diligently taught her. He thought she had broken through on her own.

If he had known these hidden details, he probably wouldn't have asked these questions in the first place...

Upon hearing Yun Hong's question, Sikong Zhen and Cheng Yaojin, who were sitting upright to the side, also turned to look at Yun Ying, quietly waiting for her to continue.

The two men had different expressions, both curious about Jiang Che's cultivation level.

"He..."

"He's already at the early Nascent Soul stage!"

Feeling the gazes of Cheng Yaojin and the other two, Yun Ying raised her head high and spoke with pride, feeling a little smug inside.

Although she wasn't the one who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was the man she loved most!

Watching Jiang Che break through from the initial mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the current Nascent Soul stage, Yun Ying naturally felt very proud.

Although Jiang Che's breakthrough in cultivation was inseparable from the mutual support of her and A Li, how many people besides her man could achieve such success at the age of 18?

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage is already an extraordinary existence; even in Chang'an City, where experts abound, they would be a prominent figure.
