Capítulo 1701: Chapter 56: Mighty Momentum

The wind is vast, the Flying Eagle exotic beast, the Divine Steed galloping, when changes began to occur in Jiangzhou City, intelligence from various factions froze as if dead, completely fearful to act even slightly. Only when the situation gradually stabilized and eased, did they desperately exert their strength to convey what had happened here to all sides.

In Ying Country · Inside the palace.

Grandmaster Jiang Su strides into the palace. This Grandmaster is very tall, with a solemn demeanor, white hair and beard, habitually dressed in a dark black robe, his entire aura cold, hard, and murderous like a mountain forged from steel, commanding respect without anger.

People usually fear Jiang Su more than they respect him.

But today, Jiang Su’s aura is even more piercing, like the cold wind. Not to mention speaking with the Grandmaster, even approaching him, you would be touched by his awe-inspiring, murderous Qi Mechanism.

But what kind of person, what kind of news, could cause the usually impassive Jiang Su to show such a clear emotional fluctuation? No one dares to probe deeply; Jiang Su directly heads to the Star-picking Tower to find Jiang Wanxiang.

Jiang Wanxiang is brewing tea, seeing Jiang Su and smilingly saying: “Grandmaster is here, hahaha, perfect timing, just right, I’ve recently rummaged up something and found some fine tea stored long ago, then considered it a rare treasure, too precious to drink.”

“Now thinking back, life doesn’t carry anything, death doesn’t take it away, instead, I’ve thoroughly opened it up and drank it completely, considering it worthy of my painstaking efforts to gather it.”

Jiang Su sits cross-legged with his back straight, says: “Is this tea good?”

Jiang Wanxiang laughs loudly: “Hahaha, hardly different from regular tea.”

“It even got moldy!”

“Had it not been opened up, I’m afraid insects would have hollowed out the tea, by then it would be inferior even to its current appearance, fortunately it was opened, otherwise my descendants might think Jiang Wanxiang has no taste.”

“Hahaha.”

It’s somewhat unlucky, somewhat regrettable.

Yet Jiang Wanxiang is quite open-minded.

Smilingly says: “Grandmaster, you came hurriedly today, what’s the matter?”

“Did something happen in Chen Country?”

Jiang Su says: “How did Your Majesty know?”

Jiang Wanxiang says: “Though I am old and dying, my spirit waning, no longer able to grasp worldly affairs, these matters still weigh on my mind. Though old, my mind is still clear.”

“While the affairs of the world are many, hardly any catch your Jiang Su’s eye.”

“Matters that stir your mental state are even rarer.”

“At present, it is solely Chen Country.”

Jiang Wanxiang leisurely brews tea, watching the leaves rise and fall in water, says: “A person’s life is like tea, its ups and downs uncertain, likewise a nation’s lineage, spirited at first, ultimately returning to calm silence. Chen Country, Ying Country’s reign for over three hundred years, is rather weary.”

“Prince Qin acts swiftly, using four armies as a facade, Yue Pengwu, this world’s top talent is the main force, yet, a battle relies on national power and foundation. Although Qin is brave, like a youthful person, brimming with energy, its foundation and logistics are still insufficient.”

“Their recovery period has been too brief.”

“Prince Qin lacks money.”

“Qin Country is even more short on money.”

Jiang Wanxiang, dressed in loose clothing, says proudly: “Still too weak as a nation, the national power instead drags down Yue Pengwu’s army, the logistics’ supply speed can’t keep up, reclaiming the captured cities is slow, controlling them requires manpower.”

“Like a snake swallowing an elephant, like ants shaking a tree.”

“Normally speaking, Qin’s attack is rapid, able to deliver significant blows to Chen Country, even biting off a large chunk of its territory, but certainly unable to annihilate Chen Country.”

“Just devouring a large territory, the livelihood, economy, governance, laws, maintaining order, all these would drive Li Guanyi that kid crazy, hahaha, whatever it takes, it would take one or two years to digest.”

“From ancient times, great nations have always been like this, slowly eaten away externally, internally collapsing on their own. To decide the world with one battle is a legend throughout the ages, Qin Country’s foundation is far from that level.”

Jiang Wanxiang, well-read in history and military strategies, views the changes in worldly affairs with seasoned, incisive insights, has his unique thoughts, his words are firm and convincing. This is his experience as the ruler of a major nation for decades.

This is the rule of the world and history.

Jiang Wanxiang says: “So, what exactly is the matter?”

He continues pouring tea for Jiang Su, even now, maintaining composure.

Confucianism says, in major events stay calm.

The Military School says, he who holds thunder in his chest but appears calm can be made General.

Jiang Wanxiang, calm and composed, sips his tea.

Jiang Su’s reply was concise:

“Chen Country has fallen.”

Jiang Wanxiang: “…”

The old man freezes, then sprays a mouthful of tea, right onto the Military God.

“Cough cough cough, what, what did you say? Cough cough cough cough!”

Jiang Wanxiang coughs violently.

Military God Jiang Su lifts his sleeve to wipe the tea from his face, meticulous, his actions solemn and unwavering, and by the way plucks a tea leaf from his cheek.

The tea leaf unfurls, stem intact.

Then, without changing his expression, he throws it onto Jiang Wanxiang’s face.

Jiang Su replies: “Chen Country has fallen.”

Jiang Wanxiang mutters for a long time, sitting there, says: “Is it so fast?! Even if Chen Dingye that poisonous dragon hung himself on the hillside, it wouldn’t be this fast.” He then asks Jiang Su to explain the matter thoroughly and in full detail.
