Peace Order

Chapter 1887: Chapter 10: The Game, the World, Emperor Qin!

...

Summer had already arrived.

On the battlefield where Qin and Ying confronted each other, flags fluttered. Li Guanyi stepped onto the Shooting Tower built in front of the simple camp, gazing into the distance. Old Siming climbed up panting and said, "Boy, what are you still doing?"

Seeing Li Guanyi raise his eyes to look, in the first year of Emperor Qin’s reign, Li Guanyi was twenty-two years old.

Now it was the fourth year of Emperor Qin’s reign, Li Guanyi was already twenty-five.

He appeared much more composed, embodying the majesty and demeanor of a king, while Shaking Light remained looking like a silver-haired maiden. Old Siming wanted to grab that White Formation Leader’s head and ask what the old fellow gave Shaking Light to eat.

Back then, Chen Dingye had Hou Zhongyu refine the Immortality Pill for the concubines.

Chen Dingye’s empress had once taken this substance. The old magician, according to Hou Zhongyu’s elixir recipe, managed to refine several pills, but the core was Hou Zhongyu using various Earth Marrow, Qilin Blood, Exotic Beast Blood, tempered over many years to refine it.

It was a unique batch.

Already exhausted.

Cannot be replicated.

Unless Hou Zhongyu is dug up.

Li Guanyi gave this pill to his aunt, also to Miss and the silver-haired maiden.

Li Zhaowen, a life-and-death comrade, also received one when they ventured onto the grassland together.

Except for Nangong Wumeng.

Only under the shameless tyrant Emperor Qin’s coercion did he sign an indenture that demanded finding plenty of gold mines, and without finding them, he wasn’t allowed to leave. Only then did he receive one, apart from which, Li Guanyi kept several sealed.

Chen Qingyan, with unparalleled martial arts skills, did not need this to protect her looks.

Li Guanyi left one for Ning’er.

If this child, never practiced world-renowned martial arts, this pill could be used by her.

As for himself, with his Martial Arts Legend achievements, still in his prime, full of vital energy and blood, aging naturally slowly, he didn’t take it. At this moment, leaning on the arrow tower looking out, old Siming asked, and he only smiled and said:

"Sending him off."

"Sending him? Sending who?"

Old Siming was puzzled, but soon, following Li Guanyi’s gaze, he realized something. The Ying Country army camp changed, and the Ying Country army, which had been fighting for almost two or three years, began to retreat.

Old Siming murmured, "Jiang Su... retreated."

His eyes shook.

Usually playful and teasing, what old Siming deemed commonplace, at this moment, there was no smile on his face, no trace of ease, despite his frequent sayings over the years.

"Good heavens, how much longer do we have to fight?"

"They even want to trap me, an old man, here, young people, have some shame!"

"Let’s finish quickly and move on."

But when that day truly came, old Siming felt only a tremor in his heart.

Even a trace of fear.

The final turbulent scenery of this three hundred years of chaos, in truth, gathered upon these two individuals, the Grandmaster of Ying Country, Emperor Qin of Qin Country, the two confronting formations, behind them were the imperial court, Northern Border, Western Regions, battlefields, Martial World, civil ministers and martial generals, the land of opposing forces.

Jiang Su withdrew his troops, no longer concerned with Emperor Qin, Li Guanyi; and Li Guanyi had already guessed Jiang Su would withdraw, yet he didn’t pursue like before, when "the enemy tires, I strike; the enemy retreats, I advance."

There was only one possibility left.

The next conflict, is not something that these mere hundred thousand troops can resolve.

Entangling here is meaningless!

Like drawing a punch back before throwing it, gathering momentum before striking hard, small scraps cannot solve the vast conflicts, this small border friction, like a warm-up act, finally ends.

These years of balance time.

Both sides were waiting, at a strategic level.

Emperor Qin wanted time for the rear to recuperate, to plant a little more grain; Jiang Su, on one hand, wanted to smooth over the losses brought by two military campaigns during Jiang Wanxiang’s death, on the other to lead Jiang Gao’s transformation.

Now, it was no longer necessary to wait.

The next war would be the decisive battle.

In the camp of Ying Country, an elder clad in black cloak with a dignified demeanor emerged riding a Divine Steed. Jiang Su looked indifferently towards where Emperor Qin was, Li Guanyi stared at Jiang Su, saying, "Jiang Su, I will temporarily occupy the head."

Jiang Su replied indifferently, "After Emperor Qin dies, I will offer proper mourning."

The final ’greeting.’

General Xue, who cherished this segment the most, was held down.

Guan Shier directly dismantled this fellow’s mouth mechanism temporarily.

Solving the problem at the root.

Jiang Su looked at Li Guanyi, gazing at this ultimate opponent, he said no more, nor did he fear Li Guanyi chasing, since he had to prepare for large force corps warfare thereafter, Emperor Qin’s current troops delving into Ying Country might repeat Divine Martial King’s demise.

Li Guanyi also didn’t pursue.

Just watched Ying Country’s last opponent ride away on a Divine Steed.

General Xue finally fought Guan Shier, repairing his mouth mechanism, saying, "Why, not chase after them?"

"Didn’t you say, it’s best to use leftover strength to chase down fleeing foes?"

Emperor Qin laughed heartily, "That’s also fleeing foes, border warfare, Jiang Su’s military momentum is slow, chasing is useless, this battlefield cannot kill him, let alone, using these troops, going deep into the empire’s heartland is seeking death."

"This time the strategic goal has been achieved."

"It’s time to return the army."

Emperor Qin lightly jumped, directly off the arrow tower, and dusted off the dust on his hands.

On this day, there were three earth-shattering news.

Firstly, the Qin and Ying sides, confronting for years, did not erupt in a decisive battle, nor did they recklessly charge ahead, but both retreated their troops.

Secondly, Jiang Gao ascended the throne, Divine General Gao Xiang returned.

Grandmaster Jiang Su, when Divine General Gao Xiang returned, divided his forces back to court.

Simultaneously, after years of personally leading the expedition, Emperor Qin, Li Guanyi returned to Jiangnan.

This news rode the tailwind, reaching Jiangnan even earlier.

It also reached inside that Changfu Building, beside the long-haired woman’s ears.
