Peace Order

Chapter 1628 - 37: Returning Allegiance, Attack Chen!

Powerless.

Clearly understanding, after making such a choice, my life’s direction will undergo different changes and paths, but sometimes, a person has no more choices.

I’m just a leaf floating in the midst of the torrents.

The young man about to reach the age of 20 before me.

He is the source of the storm that swirls through this chaotic era.

Ashina seemed to see his mother once more, that gentle lady from a great Central Plains family. He lowered his gaze, yet still regretted nothing, even though he is not the one who can stir the storm of the chaotic world.

But the anger of a common man can still change the heavens and the earth.

He clasped his hands and said:

"I dare not accept the benevolence of my Lord."

That day, Prince Qin held a banquet to entertain the Seventh Prince Ashina. Prince Qin played the zither, Ashina Khan danced, to avoid awkwardness, the Khans of various Western Regions tribes accompanied, the host and guests were joyous, the grasslands under Ashina Khan joined the ranks of Qin.

Ashina’s forces included four thousand Iron Futu, also joining the Anxi Protectorate.

Ashina received the title of Khan, provision was given, cities were built.

Ashina took the initiative to send his wife and children to Jiangnan. Prince Qin deeply looked at this forty-year-old Khan, not refusing, but personally wrote a letter introducing Ashina’s son to the Academy, under the tutelage of one of the Six Palace Masters, the giant of the Mo School.

Though admitted under the giant of the Mo School, how much he can learn, how well he can grasp it, depends on personal effort and understanding.

Practicing the breathing skill of the Mo School, Mo Sword technique, and the concept of world harmony.

Ashina had not expected his son to have such an opportunity.

With a complicated heart, he is also immensely grateful.

Knowing he can no longer leave.

Meanwhile, the rebellion of the Seven Khan Kings against the Turkic grasslands, the Great Khan leading his army to confront Prince Qin and then leaving, swiftly spread across the entire world right after the previous three major events.

People of alert minds in various countries vaguely sensed a trace of unease.

The realm had been calm for a year, yet conflicts frequently erupted in the grassland and Xiyi City areas, despite only a partial battlefield in the grassland, friction continued and although it did not really escalate into war, the nature was extremely vile.

Whether it was Xiyi City’s separation from Ying Country or the Seventh Prince’s departure from the Turkic.

All of it feels like an impending storm, the wind fills the tower.

There is a sense that the recently settled realm is about to undergo another upheaval.

In response to He Ruoqinhu of Ying Country cutting off ties between Xiyi City and the Central Plains, to prevent Xiyi City, which they personally built, from becoming a stepping stone for Qin Country to attack the Central Plains, the reaction of Xiyi City and Prince Qin caught the forces of the world by surprise.

Prince Qin and Xiyi City did not choose to directly enter the Central Plains from Xiyi City, to struggle with Ying Country, to find ways to maximize the benefits gained from Xiyi City; they appear uninterested in starting hostilities at this time.

The troops merely maintain control over the area near Xiyi City.

On the contrary, Chen Dingye took advantage and surged forward, his forces sharp, not only did he not return any part of the territory to Ying Country, but he greedily swallowed a part between Xiyi City and Ying Country; the Great Khan of Grassland chose a similar combat skill.

Based on the territory seized from Ying Country earlier, continued occupying the narrow ’passage’ between the core of Xiyi City and Ying Country.

Once settled, the situation around Xiyi City instead became more complicated.

Xiyi City consolidated its forces.

Closed the gates tightly, using Lu Youxian’s strategy book on fortification defense, strengthened Xiyi City’s defenses, closed doors to avoid combat, thoroughly implementing the old turtle strategy from top to bottom, inside and out.

If you want to fight, go fight yourselves, I’m not fighting anyway.

Outside of Xiyi City, the forces of Ying Country, Chen Country, and the Turkic have all taken action.

The Turkic lost some of the Seventh Prince’s territory, then moved downward to carve up the temporary unclaimed territory left by Xiyi City’s separation; Chen Country did likewise, Ying Country hurriedly recaptured its lost ground, all three sides were elite forces at the moment, none were slow.

Leading to this becoming the most complex area.

Causing all to swallow part, leaving all covetous of the other’s territory, causing easy conflict eruption, dozens of skirmishes already occurred between small forces in a month, with hundreds dead and wounded.

Conflict is increasingly fierce.

Martial generals eager for fame frequently requested to fight, while civil officials split into pro-war and peace factions, at the time of the autumn season, now at the end of August in the sixteenth year of Divine Revelation, signs of war starting again are subtly emerging in the realm settled over a year.

The conflict here is extremely intense and alluring.

Even the common folk traversing streets and alleys realized, there might be some dispute occurring here, a local battlefield might appear, when Prince Qin Li Guanyi wrote a letter to Chen Wenmian and Yan Daiqing, delivered using the Flying Eagle Exotic Beast.

After reading the letter, Yan Daiqing did not regain his composure for a long time.

The wording within the letter is simple.

In the end, there are only eight words, yet it seems to carry the sound of rolling thunder, ready to crack open this dreary era, as though heroes of this world are frenziedly entangled in myriad knots, but then one sword severs them!

[Diversion]

[Not long]

[Attack Chen]!
