156th Break: Request

Imperial City, imperial palace.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Hao muttered when he saw that Jiang Yan was standing in the middle of the hallway while watching the fish in the pond swimming happily.

Jiang Yan turned and saw him. "What's wrong?" he asked when he saw that Lin Hao was holding some letters.

"Oh. It's like this – " Lin Hao handed Jiang Yan the letters in his hand. "The spies have sent us letters saying that the Wei and Qi Kingdoms are becoming aggressive to find the elixir. The people that they sent are destroying the villagers' homes, who do not belong to any of the kingdoms or our empire." He explained. "As long as they find these places are suspicious, they would definitely level it underground just to see whether these places hide the elixir or not." He said and sighed.

Jiang Yan frowned when he heard it.

"Your Majesty… what should we do?" Lin Hao asked. Even if they wanted to save the villagers, it was too far of their reach.
