”This is the folly of an official. Everything depends on the Holy Judgement.”
”Continue speaking, you've said it very well.”
A feeling of helplessness rose from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. The injuries this time were too serious, and he was unconscious most of the time. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't move. He needed someone to take care of his daily meals and food. The two maidservants that were originally serving Ji Tian Ning were assigned to his side as well.
If not for this injury, he would not have agreed with Shang Qiuyuan's plan. However, this was the only thing he could do now. He had to maintain the benefits he had obtained and form an alliance with the Northern Wasteland and Jinghai.
He sighed deeply. This was the first time he felt that he was so powerless.
He knew that if the kitten hadn't rushed to his side that night, he wouldn't have been able to worry about anything and would have died already.
”When manpower is exhausted, we are still in the prime of our lives, but who would have thought that our luck would be so ill-fated.”
He slightly opened his eyes and used a gentle gaze to look at Shang Qiuyuan. ”I understand your concerns, go on.”
”From now on, the Southern Champion no longer needs any of Fengyuan's interests or territories. We'll hand them over to the Northern barbarians and Jinghai, and have them fight with Yun Meng for it. This way, you can consume the military power and people of the three nations. ”
”We will ally with the Northern barbarians and the Jinghai, and use a smaller force to help them obtain other benefits in Fengyuan.” We will ally with the Northern barbarians and the Jinghai, and use a smaller force to help them obtain other benefits in Fengyuan.
Huo Ni Lin's eyes lit up, then dimmed down after a moment. His eyes signaled for Shang Qiuyuan to continue speaking.
Shang Qiuyuan's words opened up another prospect for the current situation in front of his eyes, causing him to think that if this was possible, the chances of the Southern Champion coming back in the future would be much greater than it currently was.
”I wonder if I still have the time and energy to scheme against the world again!”
Even at this moment, the Fire Lin's mind was still thinking about obtaining the world.
This time around, it was the first time that the reverse scale had faced death at such a close distance. After all, he only suffered from occasional headaches in the past, and didn't really feel the threat of death.
He knew that it was unrealistic to scheme for the whole of Fukuhara, and now that he was seriously injured, he could only accept the reality. Recuperating from his injuries was the most important matter, and Nanke could not do without him.
”Your Majesty, the Southern Champion has already occupied half of Fengyuan's territory. The most appropriate thing to do is to consolidate the results and eliminate any future troubles. This is also the third.”
Shang Qiuyuan spoke confidently, analyzing the pros and cons. He had already planned for this long ago, but he had never said it out loud. Because of the matter of the Southern Champion in Fengyuan, there was the Fire Reversal Scale and the Shoulder King. It was not yet his turn to make decisions.
What he asked for was only to deal with the people of the Feng family as he pleased. As long as the Fire Lin and the Shoulder King permitted this, he would have nothing more to ask for. After all, he was from Fengyuan, and he did not want the people to be displaced from their homes after the war.
He wanted to quell the war at Fengyuan as soon as possible, so that Fengyuan could settle down, the people could all go back to their homes, and the barren farmlands could be replanted. That was what he wanted.
Of course, this was not something he could decide alone. After all, the four empires were fighting for power now, and the battlefield was only in Feng Yuan. Many dukes were also fishing in troubled waters, causing chaos in Fengyuan.
He had intended to pacify the war at Fengyuan a long time ago, but now that Huo Ni Lin had asked, he told him the plan that he had been planning for for a long time.
Ally with the Northern barbarians and the Jinghai, and then fight with the Northern barbarians and Jinghai over the unreaped benefits of the other Southern Champions. Nanke can do a wall view, at the same time, she can stabilize the territory obtained.
In this way, although the Southern Champion could not stay out of things, he could still retain his strength. When they fought for supremacy again in the future, he would have more capital. This was what moved the reverse fire scale the most.
Fiery Gilt Steel understood this logic, but he hated the heavens for not giving him time.
Just as Shang Qiuyuan was full of energy from his speech, he discovered that the Fiery Inverted Scale had already fainted. He could only helplessly sit there and wait for the reverse scale to awaken. Without its order, he didn't dare to leave.
”Great General, please go rest. The emperor won't wake up until a long time after he falls unconscious. When the emperor wakes up, this servant will notify the great general.” Since the general has come from afar, he must be tired. This servant has already prepared food for him, and invites him to rest and have a meal. ”
”Thank you, Head Supervisor. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first.”
Shang Qiuyuan walked out from the tent of the Inverted Flames Scale, feeling somewhat dejected in his heart. That cold and energetic emperor had already turned into his current state, without even the energy to finish listening to his words.
Wu De had arranged a place for Shang Qiuyuan to rest not far away. Shang Qiuyuan entered the tent to rest and eat, waiting for Huo Ni Lin to wake up and see him again.
”Empress, the great general has come to see the emperor.”
”General?”
Ji Tian Ning was unable to react. He looked at Le Tian, who was speaking to him in a low voice. Le Tian had come with her to the Fiery Inverted Scales and was also her assistant when she cast the spell. After all, amongst these military doctors and imperial doctors, Le Tian had been her assistant the longest and his skills were the highest.
”Yes, General Shang, Master Fengyuan.”
”So, Shang Qiu is finally here?”
Ji Tian Ning abruptly stood up, feeling extremely excited. To her, Shang Qiuyuan was like a family member. If he wanted to leave this place safely, the best option would be for the handsome monk Qiu Yuan to leave.
However, she wandered around the tent for a long time and didn't go out to see Shang Qiuyuan.
She clearly knew that since An Lingyun and Wude arranged this, they definitely didn't want her to meet with Qiuyuan. However, what she was worried about was bringing trouble to Shang Qiuyuan.
If this was the case, it would bring trouble to Shang Qiuyuan, which was what she was most unwilling to do. He knew that if Shang Qiuyuan knew that she was leaving, he would definitely try his best to help her. Thus, he couldn't afford to offend the reverse scale.
She couldn't, couldn't bring trouble to Shang Qiuyuan, and even more so couldn't make Huo Ni Lin suspect Shang Qiuyuan. Hateful Heavens had already paid the price of his life for this. She could not let Shang Qiuyuan bring disaster upon himself again.
”Empress, if the Empress wishes to leave, it is safest to leave with the great general.” Empress, with the Empress's relationship with the Great General, the Great General will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Le Tian became a little anxious. It was not easy for him to find out about Shang Qiuyuan's arrival. He risked his life to inform Ji Tian Ning in order to allow Ji Tian Ning to obtain the freedom she wanted.
This was because he had heard that Ji Tian Ning was the one who had treated the injuries of the Fengyuan Duke, and that Ji Tian Ning had saved the lives of many of his subordinates. He thought, with this kind of kindness, perhaps Fengyuan official Qiuyuan, is willing to risk Ji Tianning away.
