Peace Order

Chapter 1867: Chapter 5: Yan Daiqing’s Scheme at the Northern Border

Wang Chuanning froze, suddenly feeling a chill.

This chill even carried an icy murderous intent, as Wang Chuanning stiffly raised his head, he saw the twenty bright pearls that, after the sealed box was opened, visibly dimmed.

The sound of breaking glass resonated in the air.

The pearls shattered visibly, then slowly disappeared.

Not a sound was heard.

No need for anyone to say anything, the change at this moment had already shown that these twenty-four pearls were definitely fake, and at this time, Wang Chuanning was talking about the Youde Residence, with a slight inexplicable hint of irony.

Jiang Yuan’s expression grew dark, but he could still barely maintain his composure.

Upon returning, he mocked himself: "The Taiping Army is indeed cunning."

"How could we fall for the same trick again."

Wang Chuanning’s face was dim, not receiving any reward, yet the Emperor did not punish him heavily either, but Wang Chuanning was inexplicably frightened, and he rushed back faster than he arrived, wanting to kill Li Xingyi.

Charging into the place, in great anger he roared:

"Li Xingyi, such audacity!"

"How dare you mock this General, mock the Emperor!"

Li Xingyi enjoyed some time here, feeling he had finally escaped the Taiping Army, despite the difficult path before, he was well aware that his identity as the Taiping Duke’s son was truly valuable.

As long as he bowed respectfully, spoke of the Taiping Army, Taiping Duke, and Emperor Qin Li Guanyi’s cruel nature, he could gain wealth and status, as long as he slandered the Taiping Duke and Taiping Army, he would be safe.

He could win the favor of the Ying Country Emperor.

Thinking he had found a lifeline, he was suddenly stunned by such angry roars, raising his head in shock, only to see General’s blood-red eyes, grabbing a knife to cut down, the blade fierce, Li Xingyi felt fear in his heart, instinctively trying to block.

But how could he block it!

He was directly struck by the blade, blood flowing all over the ground, Wang Chuanning never expected this person to be so easily killed, feeling some regret asking: "Where is that seemingly honest scholar?!"

Going to search, but the person had already left, lamenting greatly.

"Hateful!"

"Fell for that person’s treacherous scheme!"

Wen Qingyu rode his horse outside the Northern Domain borders, Yuan Shitong, and Xue Tianxing following on either side, Yuan Shitong still sighed, feeling sad about Li Xingyi’s death, Wen Qingyu smiled slightly: "Why need the two of you sigh?"

"Now the world knows, it was this Li Xingyi who tricked the Ying Country Great Emperor, made a name for Taiping Army, brave and heroic, died under Wang Chuanning’s blade, counted as heroic and strong."

"Having such a reputation after death, it is worthy of the kindness of Taiping Army over the years."

Yuan Shitong just sighed once, saying: "It is indeed so."

Xue Tianxing however felt a bit fearful.

Lightly and effortlessly, Wen Qingyu accomplished his strategy, using Jiang Yuan to make a name for Taiping Army, then using Jiang Yuan to kill Li Xingyi, not tarnishing Emperor Qin’s reputation, preserving Emperor Qin.

The fame of Xue Tianxing, Yuan Shitong, this part of Taiping Army’s reputation, was also preserved.

Most importantly, he did not dirty his own hands, thoroughly preserved himself.

While camping on the journey, Wen Qingyu burned the records detailing Li Xingyi’s deeds in front of Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong, saying: "The generals’ reputation should not be tarnished by others, to avoid future generations saying these generals raised such a person."

"Li Xingyi was a good man."

"Died for a great cause under Jiang Yuan’s sword."

Xue Tianxing, Yuan Shitong understood the intricacies, both paid their respects.

To achieve such means, Xue Tianxing already considered it the top of the current generation. freewёbnoνel.com

Yet the subsequent event left Xue Tianxing utterly bewildered, feeling more fearful of this young scholar, almost as if fearing a god, yet due to the Ying Country Emperor’s grand offering ceremony, this matter became known to the whole world, leading to some ridicule.

Jiang Yuan remained carefree, admitting he made a mistake, fell for a scheme, became a laughingstock.

Wen Qingyu spread a word across the world through Changfeng Building.

"An emperor who picks up a throne discarded by others deserves fake goods."

With just one simple sentence, it seemed to directly prick Jiang Yuan’s soft spot, previously able to self-mock in front of the world, Jiang Yuan went into a rage, smashing unknown countless treasures, roaring:

"A mere two generals ranked forty or fifty, with tens of thousands of men, dare to insult me! Northern Border barbarians, disrespect the Emperor; I will move mountains and seas, hope to conquer, let alone these barbarians!"

Ying Country Great Emperor was in great anger.

He ignored the standoff at the Northern Border, Grandmaster Jiang Su blocking Emperor Qin, and the still excavating canal.

Desired to command the armies of the world—

March north to conquer them!
