Chapter 1899: Chapter 13: War Begins!
"Long live Our Emperor!!"
Li Guanyi declared, "When we conquer the world and achieve a great age of peace, there will be no more suffering from war!"
The three armies shouted in unison, "Long live Great Qin!!!"
Emperor Qin retracted the Divine Weapon in his hand, and softly said, "The people shall live long."
"Drumming, imperial guard!"
......
In the Eastern Capital of the Ying Country’s imperial palace.
Jiang Gao, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk, rested very little each day, attempting to restore the national strength of the Daying Kingdom. However, due to Jiang Yuan’s absurd actions exceeding even the expectations of Wen Qingyu and Jiang Su, the attempts of Emperor Ying to reclaim those rebellious people had shown little results.
Whenever someone even thought about it, they were rebuked:
"Have you forgotten the thirty thousand who were buried alive?"
Thus, such thoughts were instantly halted.
After handling state affairs and calming the hearts of the people, Jiang Gao was exhausted. Someone brought a bowl of ginseng soup, which barely restored his Primordial Qi. Jiang Cai, while reviewing the records, said, "In just a few years, Jiang Yuan has managed to cause such chaos in the hearts of the people across the nation."
"However, after reviewing the records, I found that these changes were also influenced by external forces."
"A certain entity named Northern Border..."
Jiang Cai’s voice suddenly stopped when looking at the name on the records.
Falling silent, this talented woman of the Zongheng School, usually articulate, was momentarily unable to speak, as if she couldn’t utter those three words.
Jiang Gao asked in confusion, "Northern Border what?"
After Jiang Gao urged several times, Jiang Cai finally said:
"Northern Border, Yan Daiqing."
Jiang Gao was stunned.
In such a situation, he unexpectedly laughed as if amused.
But within this laughter, there was nothing but bitterness, and he said, "Yan Daiqing, hahaha, what a Yan Daiqing, or, how many Yan Daiqings have there been? Hahaha, Sister Cai, tell me, when people look back at us in this chaotic world."
"They’ll find that at each major event’s turning point, there was a Yan Daiqing. What would they think? Hahaha, cough cough... isn’t it, that the great talents of the world combined are no match for Yan Daiqing’s abundant share?"
"Perhaps Yan Daiqing will become a codename for an organization."
Jiang Gao still managed a wry smile.
"But what has this particular Yan Daiqing done?"
"To further the chaos within our Daying Kingdom."
Jiang Cai said, "It’s merely by using those twenty-four counterfeit Bright Pearls and Jiang Yuan’s deep-seated fears, seizing the opportunity to cause chaos. A think tank of this level of ’great power’ might not appear even once in a hundred years."
"Yet now, there are too many."
Jiang Gao chuckled softly: "In the winds and clouds of these chaotic times, the mighty valor of heroes is inexhaustible, such figures now rise one after another."
Jiang Cai said, "However, the Grandmaster’s approach of breaking and establishing anew ultimately awakened Your Majesty’s imperial heart. Emperor Qin’s newly founded state, after all, lacks a solid foundation and is still in a period of recuperation."
"Our Daying Kingdom, with its vast resources and three-hundred-year span, can recover from Jiang Yuan’s actions in three to four years in just two to three years. In a few more years, our Daying Kingdom will surpass its past."
"With vast territory, a long-standing dynasty, many heroes present, and famous generals abundant."
"Then there would be no fear of Emperor Qin, as this is the Grandmaster’s resolution."
"Report!!!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the tranquility, and a General rushed into the palace, shouting: "An urgent situation!!! Your Majesty!"
Jiang Gao sprang to his feet, taking several steps forward, and asked, "What is it!!"
The general reported the matter, making the weary Jiang Gao and the composed Jiang Cai instantly freeze.
"Report!"
"Emperor Qin, Li Guanyi, personally leads an army of a million."
"Now, they have crossed the great river!"
