Peace Order-Chapter 1632 - 38: Entrustment
The final figure, a mere thirteen liang, felt like a knife twisting in the heart. ππ»πππππ«π£π€πππ΅.ππ€π’
That is our money!
Itβs for our Academy, the water dam, and logistics!
Prince Qin silently noted this in his mind and then gazed towards the sky.
"Ying Country has eased its military aggression... It seems Jiang Su and Jiang Wanxiang have already figured something out, but Chen Country is still relentlessly pushing forward. What is Chen Dingye truly thinking?"
Li Guanyi could no longer comprehend Chen Dingye.
The green-robed old man was polishing his sword. In these past months, Murong Longtu wasnβt particularly active on the battlefield; he had only gone through many rolls of documents that intrigued him. Then, with a distant swing of his sword, he forced the Great Khanβs Iron Futu to abandon the Ashinaβs original grassland.
Absolute dominance and grandeur.
Murong Longtu ran his fingers over the Dragon Map Swordβs blade and casually asked, "When does Guan Yi plan to return to Jiangnan? Qiushui sent a letter asking."
"Itβs already the eighteenth letter."
Li Guanyi sighed and said, "I also want to return sooner, but the situation is unclear, and I cannot leave now."
Even for battlefield matters, even a troop of elite forces assaulting the enemyβs capital city isnβt something that can be accomplished just on a whim.
It requires a precise timing.
The matter of Xiyi City provides a broad opportunity, drawing attention and focus from people around the world, but itβs still not enough.
The attack on Chen requires Li Guanyi to return to Jiangnan, sneak into the hidden realm, then from the southwest, with General Yue stationed on one side leading troops, while Li Guanyi himself remains hidden in Jiangnan, waiting for General Yue to divert Chen Countryβs troops so that Li Guanyi can advance freely.
As for the reason to return to Jiangnan, itβs already been prepared.
This is also why Murong Qiushui inquired in his letter.
Heβs turning twenty, the so-called age of twenty.
As a sovereign, reaching the age of twenty requires the crown ceremony, which is extremely elaborate. Prince Qin had previously written to Red Emperor Ji Zichang of Central State, informing him that he wishes to complete the crown ceremony according to royal specifications. The Ministry of Rites officials were almost moved to tears upon seeing Prince Qin βreturn to the right pathβ.
Li Guanyi tossed the pearl in his hand, murmuring to himself:
"Prince Qinβs crown ceremony occurs at a perfect time."
"However, thereβs still one more thing to do before that."
Li Guanyi caught the golden pearl, placed it before his eyes, and noted the gentle sheen it gained from frequent rubbing. With a calm expression, he said, "I want to fulfill my promise as well."
"On the day of the crown ceremony, I will storm Guan Yi City."
"But before that, there is still one thing I must do."
Murong Longtu was puzzled.
Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I shall forge a cauldron."
The original grassland of the Seventh Prince Ashina has been reclaimed by Great Khan, but after the Great Khan left, Li Guanyi leisurely took control of this area again. After numerous occurrences, the Great Khan and his men had no choice but to temporarily abandon it.
Using the foundation of the Seventh Prince Ashinaβs grassland and the region of Xiyi City.
Aiming to forge one of the Nine Cauldrons.
The senior Nine-colored Divine Deer has also reached out to the Divine Eagle Li Guanyi met before, and under the mobilization of the grand army, the gold and iron required to forge the Nine Cauldrons have already been prepared by the Seventh Prince Ashina. Before proceeding with the attack on Chen, Prince Qin Li Guanyi went to forge a cauldron to enhance strength.
What once required much effort and energy, given his current status and authority, can be handled with just a word, and someone will take care of it.
However, after Murong Longtu and he left, an unexpected incident occurred in Xiyi City.
The contemporary City Lord of Xiyi City, Duke Li Zhaowenβs third brother, Li Yuanxu.
Died.
