Chapter 879: The Decision
“Good girl.” Traveling Doctor Liu smiled.
Shan Yu rolled his eyes. He had the feeling that Traveling Doctor Liu was treating Nan Hua as a little kid.
As someone who had heard the news of what she did, he felt that Traveling Doctor Liu greatly underestimated his twelfth disciple’s capabilities. However, he chose not to say anything because it would only make the situation turn awkward.
“As for what happened between you disciples with each other, I’ll not interfere. You can settle it by yourself.” Traveling Doctor Liu had heard of what happened in Fei Yang Kingdom Capital City.
It would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel headache, but he chose to let them settle it by themselves.
“Yes, Master.”
“Oh, if you meet your fourth senior, tell him that I’m still waiting for him to contact him. That brat hadn’t contacted me for years. Did he forget that I’m still his master?” Traveling Doctor Liu snorted.
Nan Hua was silent.
Considering her fourth senior brother’s occupation and position…. She really doubted that he would have the time to see Traveling Doctor Liu. However, when she met him in the future as his junior sister, she would tell him what Traveling Doctor Liu said.
She didn’t stay there for a long time and departed towards Fei Yang Kingdom. In any case, it was time for her to return as Nan again.
…
Spring had come and a lot of people were busy on the street.
However, the atmosphere was completely different at the palace. In fact, it was truly the total opposite. The officials were having heavy atmosphere because they had reached the decision.
“Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready. We have sent a message to General Long for him to lead the soldiers.”
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded.
He originally wanted to ask General Long to come here, but the officials had reminded him how much General Long hated the Capital City. Probably, it would be hard to coax that man to return anytime soon.
In any case, he could send the message for General Long to depart right away.
“Will it be total war against Wei Da Kingdom, Your Majesty?” Prime Minister Lan asked carefully.
“No.”
Emperor Yang Zhou knew that taking charge of Wei Da Kingdom so soon like this wouldn’t bring them that much benefit. Wei Da Kingdom’s territory was filled with rivers and so on, so those who were battling there would have to make sure that they had good skill to fight on the water.
Fei Yang Kingdom did have river.
But it was not as much as Wei Da Kingdom. It would take some time for them to develop the military in order for them to be able to match against those from Wei Da Kingdom.
“Our goal is to push forward and reach the main river.” Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the map. As long as they could gain that territory, it would be more than enough for them to train their soldiers on the water.
The main river is the largest river in the entire six kingdoms and also the widest.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Prime Minister Xian, have you arranged for the battle plan?” Emperor Yang Zhou asked as he turned to the side.
After Prime Minister Bei committed suicide by drinking poison, the position of prime minister was replaced by Xian Si.
Xian Si was a scholar from Shi Long Kingdom who move to Fei Yang Kingdom a few years ago. He used to be with Prime Minister Bei and had quite the ability as military strategist.
However, his wide vision allowed him to rise even higher as he chose to become an official in the palace. His division mostly talked about war and so on, which was his specialty. It was also the reason why the Emperor chose to promote him to become the next prime minister.
“Yes.” Prime Minister Xian stepped forward. He pointed at the map. “In regards to our first obstacle, the Xia Mountains, I have received report from Long Qian Xing that our army will be able to pass through without problems.”
Pass through without problems?
The entire palace was in uproar. Many other officials were looking at Prime Minister Xian as if looking at an idiot while the others were filled with disbelief. Only a few of them showed thoughtful expression as if they were thinking about this matter.
In truth, Long Qian Xing had told a few people about his agreement with Dark Moon Organization who made Xia Mountains as their base. The few people who knew included Emperor Yang Zhou, Prime Minister Lan, Prime Minister Xian, and Song Chuan.
They all knew that Long Qian Xing would be able to lead the soldiers to pass the Xia Mountain without any problems this time because of the agreement.
But how long it would depend on how good Long Qian Xing’s relationship with the Dark Moon Organization would be.
It would be a lie if Prime Minister Lan didn’t covet that position.
However, when Long Qian Xing blatantly told him that he himself nearly died in that mountain when meeting with the lower ranked leader… Prime Minister Lan shoved away those thoughts.
It was good enough that they managed to reach an agreement.
And Long Qian Xing is also someone from Emperor Yang Zhou’s side, so having him as the person who connected the Dark Moon Organization to Fei Yang Kingdom was also pretty good.
“How is it possible?” An official asked.
“He told me that he had an agreement with those who stays there. For this battle, our soldiers will be able to pass through without any problems.” Prime Minister Xian was still as calm as ever.
He looked at the map with narrowed eyes.
Truthfully, he was not as calm as he was on the surface because he knew about the Dark Moon Organization in the Xia Mountains. Back when he was still working with Prime Minister Bei, the latter had sent some people to Xia Mountain.
Only for them to never return.
