Chapter 472 Not Intentionally Targeting Anyone (1/2)

After coming down from the Seven Peaches Mountain, Liu Mengde did not head to Xi Liang but instead, turned back to the state of Da Xi and had an audience with the Monarch of Da Xi.

The Monarch asked, ”National advisor, why did you return so swiftly? What did the Master of the Xi Liang City said?”

Liu Mengde answered, ”You need to stop fighting if you want to protect Da Xi.”

The Monarch responded, ”What do you mean?”

Liu Mengde said, ”The Master of Xi Liang City had a son who was a phenomenon person and he could single-handedly turn the state of Da Xi around. If you insists of fighting, I do not dare to take action on behalf of the state.”

The Monarch smiled, ”I've always knew that you are a wise person but it's ridiculous that one person can single-handedly turn a country around. The city of Xi Liang is expanding and blooming. Sooner or later, they will come and violate me. If they do not give a proper explanation, how can I face our people?”

Liu Mengde tried his best to convince the Monarch but to no avail, and he left. The Monarch of Da Xi had other plans in mind. His objective was to make Xi Liang surrender to them and dispel their rising momentum. It does not necessarily mean that they had to go to war.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The highest form of general ship was to counter-attack the enemy's plans; the next best was to prevent the junction of the enemy's separated forces; and the worst policy of all was to besiege walled cities. Unless necessary, the Monarch of Da Xi would prefer to avoid war, but this does not mean that he was afraid of using force.

Moreover, he did not believe that a person could single-handedly overturn a country.

The waters of the Luo River surged as the troops of Da Xi stood by the other side of the river. The troops gathered together like a cloud of warriors. Even the tigers, leopards, and other beasts were intimidated by their them. Once the water level of the Luo River decreases, they would cross over from the shallow part of the river.

The state of Da Xi did not only had Liu Mengde as their national advisor, they also had a medium who was an expert in astronomy and geography. The medium predicted that the water level would go down in three days and the weather had been really sunny for the next few days. The water evaporated fast and the water level decreased greatly. Soon enough, the water level receded to around a person's waist-height and the state of Da Xi decided to cross the river that night.

On the other hand, the troops of Xi Liang city were on standby across the river.

Chen Qing visited the camp personally with a solemn face. Although the majority of her subordinates had cultivated the Shenzu Scripture, not all of them were capable of flying on eaves or walking on walls. Furthermore, their combat experience were not as much as their opponents who were capable of intimidating tigers and leopards. This showed how dangerous this battle could be.

She had done plenty of preparations for the battle, so much so that she had not been getting proper sleep for the past few days and depended on Shen Lian's holy water to keep her moving. She had more responsibilities on her shoulder now, she had to fight for her people as well as for the sake of her daughter.

Compared to Shen Lian, she had invested a lot of love in her daughter.

This war would be quite dangerous and that was why she entrusted her daughter under the care of Shen Lian who was at Mount Jieyang.

This time, she did not want to rely on the powers of Shen Lian and wanted to make a career with her own hands. Although she unified a land spanning three thousand miles, it was still nothing to Shen Lian.

Chen Qing observed the drop in the water level and knew that at one point, the opponent would overcome the trials of nature and the warriors that were more ferocious than the untamed beast would charge towards them. That would be a great war.

On the evening of the third day, a paper crane flew into the camp. Chen Qing took over the paper crane and read the message on it. She let out a bitter laugh and ordered the troops to return to city of Xi Liang. They were also told to abandon the heavily weighted items and to depart immediately.

The opponent across the shore noticed the commotion and reported to the Monarch of Da Xi. Many generals laughed upon hearing the news that the girls of Xi Liang were so afraid of them crossing the river that they abandoned their heavy items to escape.

The Monarch of Da Xi was the only person who was puzzled by the actions of Xi Liang. He could not find a reason why they would do so.

On Mount Jieyang, Liu Mengde came over to Xuan Du Temple after resigning from the position of the national advisor of the state of Da Xi.
