Capital of Pan Kingdom

Hearing the news from the eunuch, the emperor frowned deeply internally, yet showed none of his feeling outside. How come he didn't realize that Ye Lei was not a match against that Soujin? The lost this time was really severe and the fact that Ye Jiu hadn't arrived at the capital made him felt grim.

The emperor still stayed calm throughout the report, but not a single official dared to raise their head. They kept their head low and prayed in their heart that the emperor wouldn't notice them. The emperor wouldn't go around pointing his finger, but in an instant, they might lose their head without knowing the reason.

The eyes filled with rage on the emperor calm face betrayed his real feeling. The officials knew that the emperor was angry because his plan failed miserably and the advance of Soujin was too fast to contend. They hoped from the bottom of their heart that the emperor would not blame them.
