The Stunning Prime Minister

Chapter 30

"They said we'll discuss it again in three years," Lan Yue replied respectfully.

"Understood. A bloody storm is inevitable in three years. Lan Yue, Zhai Xing, and Zhu Ri—none of you can let your guard down." Yu Zhou's words suddenly became serious, and his eyes sharpened.

"Yes, my lord," Lan Yue replied, then leaped away.

After that day, earth-shattering changes occurred across Eurasia. All the kingdoms were replaced by new rulers, and even the chief ministers were replaced by younger, more capable individuals. In particular, the emperor of Gengyue Kingdom swiftly abolished all previous systems and adopted a centralized imperial system, though he retained the position of prime minister. Other countries followed suit.

Princess Wu Yueying of the Ricang Kingdom, whom they had not seen for many years, was also found, and she was even more beautiful and charming than before.

However, what is somewhat frightening is the state of Jinyao. This newly enthroned ruler is cruel and ruthless, having slaughtered all his brothers and relatives before ascending the throne. His mother was also killed by him. This newly enthroned ruler of Jinyao is none other than Yelü Longxu, a ruthless ruler whom the people of Asia and Europe call an evil monarch.

Yu Zhou didn't react much to the news; he just looked down at his book.

Three years have passed.

The young man in black stood respectfully before a woman in blue and said, "Dean." One couldn't help but marvel at the young man's stunning beauty; he was even more beautiful than three years ago. Words simply couldn't describe him. He possessed an ethereal quality that surpassed even fairies. What woman could possibly be worthy of such a young man!

"Yu Zhou, the three-year term is up. Which country will you choose? Ricang, Jinyao, or Fengwan?" Qin Yan took out the Yellow Ling and handed it to Yu Zhou. With this, one could become prime minister in any country. This was a promise made by the emperors of the five countries to the Six Arts Academy.

"Thank you, Dean. No, it's not that. Gengyue is where I should be going." She took the yellow ling. Yu Zhou had already left Qin Yan's sight. Qin Yan hadn't expected Yu Zhou to go to the weakest country.

The next chapter will be Volume 3... If possible, I'll upload it tonight.

"Husband, why are we traveling in this darkness? Let's wait until tomorrow. I'm so sleepy!" Yu Zhou pulled Bing Ning along, walking quickly. Yu Zhou also wanted to travel in broad daylight! But if she wasn't mistaken, people from various countries would be coming to ask her to leave tomorrow, so it was better to leave now and avoid trouble.

"Bingning, you've been talking for half an hour. Aren't you tired? We need to get out of Liuyi Town before dawn." Yu Zhou walked quickly ahead, with the three animals following closely behind.

The next morning.

The armies of the five kingdoms besieged the Six Arts Academy. However, they discovered that Yu Zhou had already disappeared, leaving only a note: "Yu Zhou has gone somewhere else, so don't worry about him."

In the main hall of the Kingdom of Ricang

Chen Zexie Shang tapped on the dragon throne, impatiently watching the commotion in the distance. Zhan Ge and Yuan Yang stood upright on either side.

A soldier ran up and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Where is he?" Chen Zexie asked.

"No, that's all," the soldier replied timidly.

“Say it again to me,” Jin Yin said, his eyes blazing with fury, as if he wanted to set the whole house on fire.

"That...Young Master Yu only left a note." The soldier was terrified and stammered.

Chen Zexie Shang had completely lost his patience, his handsome face clouded with anger.

"Yu Zhou... has his own destination, no need for you all to worry." The soldier stammered more and more as he spoke.

"Get out!" Chen Zexie Shang didn't get angry, he just told him to leave. The soldier hurriedly shouted "Long live the Emperor!" and scrambled out of the hall.

"Minister Yuan, where do you think Yu Zhou will go?" Chen Zexie asked Yuan Yang with interest.

"I don't know, but given Yu Xuanyuan's personality, she would definitely not go to the strongest country, but rather choose the weakest," Yuan Yang said vaguely. In truth, he wasn't sure where Yu Zhou would go either, but given his unique personality, he would probably go to Gengyue.

"How many people can truly understand Yu Xuanyuan's behavior? I agree with Minister Yuan's assessment, but what does Minister Zhan have to say?" Chen Zexie Shang then passed the question to Zhan Ge.

"Your Majesty, I think the same as Prime Minister Yuan." The jade flute shone brightly.

On the other hand, Jin Yaoguo and Yelü Longxu had already executed 180 people, and none of those who went to find Yu Zhou to return had escaped.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to get angry. Yu Zhou seems to be a carefree person," Lei Li advised.

"I wasn't angry; it was just something I expected. I just think those useless fools are incompetent." Yelü Longxu leaned lazily back on the dragon throne. "You mean you knew Xuanyuan would run away?" Ye Yan asked, his eyes filled with unspeakable disappointment.

"If he didn't run away, he wouldn't be the Crouching Dragon Prince Yu Xuanyuan!" Yelü Longxu said contemptuously.

"Then why did you send someone to look for him, Your Majesty?" Meng Tianfang asked, voicing the question that had been on his mind.

Yelü Longxu chuckled lightly, "I just wanted to know how long he could endure it. Sure enough, he couldn't." Yelü Longxu toyed with his black hair. A hint of amusement flickered in his brown eyes.

Fengwan Kingdom

"Sigh, as expected, we still can't catch him," Feng Youhuang sighed.

"Your Majesty, if a talent like Yu Xuanyuan is allowed to escape to any country, he will be a menace. We must nip this in the bud to prevent future troubles." Xiao Han's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"I know, but who in the world can kill him! Let him go. Yu Xuanyuan is indeed Yu Xuanyuan, he actually managed to escape the pursuers of five kingdoms." Feng Youhuang's eyes held an unusual admiration.

"This man will surely become a great threat. I, Xiao Han, will definitely kill him. If Yu Xuanyuan has anyone to blame, it's because you were born at the wrong time," Xiao Han muttered, his eyes and body filled with killing intent.

Feng Youhuang looked into the distance with some worry. "Yu Zhou, it's not that I want to kill you, it's just that I have no choice."

Meanwhile, Hua Qianmo was smashing things in her palace. No one in the Shuiyue Kingdom's palace had ever seen the usually jovial Emperor so angry. Even Consort Rong, who was always favored by the Emperor, demanded that he come out. The entire palace was on edge, everyone afraid of making a mistake.

While smashing the vase, Hua Qianmo roared, "Don't bother with your troubles, fine! Yu Xuanyuan, you're doing great!"

In the Gengyue Kingdom's palace, only Yu Qingqian and Shen Wuyue were in the main hall.

"Yu Xuanyuan is indeed extraordinary. It would be great if he could lend us a hand." Shen Wuyue smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, does that Yu Xuanyuan really possess such supernatural powers? That he could command the emperors of five kingdoms to send armies to invite him?" Yu Qingqian asked doubtfully.

"I was his classmate, and I can only say that I am completely convinced of his talent. His appearance is astonishing, and his talent can only be described as extraordinary, yet he is only 16 years old," Shen Wuyue said enviously.

"There is such a young man in the world; his parents must be extraordinary people," Yu Qingqian said in admiration.
