The Phoenix Arises Chapter 37.1

Chapter 37 . 1: To shed one’s mortal body and exchange one’s bones

Bonded Hearts Palace .  

Seeing that Duanmu Xue’s frown had deepened, Huangfu Che asked softly: “Are you still thinking about the matters at the border?”

Duanmu Xue nodded her head lightly with a face full of worry .

She was not afraid that they would not be able to prevail over the Black Tortoise Kingdom but once the two countries are engaged in a battle, the commoners would be the ones who suffer .

“Xue Er, isn’t the Black Tortoise Kingdom your maternal family’s home? Why did they suddenly provoke our northwest border?”

Looking at how sad Duanmu Xue was, Huangfu Che’s heart was aching .

Duanmu Xue shook her head and sighed .

“The Black Tortoise Kingdom is no longer the Black Tortoise Kingdom of the past when my cousin, Xia Hou Shen was in reign . Today’s Black Tortoise Kingdom, all the power is in the hands of Regent Zhuge . I’m afraid that this time, he is behind the invasion of our northwest border . ”

Huangfu Che frowned and deliberated for a moment before he said, “This has not gone on just for a day or two . This sudden attack on our borders would definitely not be as simple as it looks on the surface . Xue Er, we have to be properly prepared . ”

“Mn . ”

Duanmu Xue nodded her head in agreement and summoned Phoenix First .

“Take this Emperor’s Phoenix seal to the east border and order Peng Xin to return to the capital with a 100,000 strong army, there must be no mistakes . ”

Duanmu Xue handed the Golden Phoenix seal over to Phoenix First .

“Yes, Your Majesty . ”

Phoenix First took the Phoenix seal and disappeared .

White Tiger Kingdom Prince Zhan Residence .

“What is the situation?”

Yu Ying bowed down and reported, “Your Highness, Black Tortoise Kingdom’s Great General has an army 300,000 strong and is attacking the northwest border of the Vermillion Bird Empire . ”

Xuanyuan Mo creased his brows and said, “Do you know why the Black Tortoise Kingdom would suddenly attack the Vermillion Bird Empire?”

“This subordinate does not know . ”

Yu Ying shook his head and thought for a moment before he added, “But according to my sources in the Black Tortoise Kingdom, Duke Jing of the Vermillion Bird Empire has recently been close with Regent Zhuge of Black Tortoise Kingdom . This subordinate thinks that the Black Tortoise Kingdom’s attack on Vermillion Bird Empire could be related to this matter . ”

Duke Jing?

This matter did not seem so simple .

“Prepare the horses, this Prince wants to enter the palace . ”

“Yes, Your Highness . ”

In the White Tiger Kingdom’s Reflection Visage Palace, the original Palace of Xuanyuan Mo’s mother, Xue Ru Yan, was now Xuanyuan Lie’s Palace .

Xuanyuan Lie was sitting on the couch and looking at the portrait of Xue Ru Yan when a eunuch came forward to report . “Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Zhan seeks an audience . ”

“Let him in . ”

Xuanyuan Lie regained his thoughts and placed the portrait down .

“Imperial Father . ”

Xuanyuan Mo entered the Palace and knelt in front of Xuanyuan Lie .

Xuanyuan Lie looked inquiringly at Xuanyuan Mo . Since young, the number of times this son of his had knelt before him could be counted with his hands . He never placed him in his eyes, what brought about the change today?

“Little Mo, since when do we need such formalities, just tell me what you need . ”
