Chapter 551: The War Begins!!! (Seeking monthly votes)

The whole world was in chaos, but it only lasted for a moment. All the generals received orders to retreat. Li Guanyi had a calm expression and looked at the silence in the distance for a long time. Chen Wenmian and others also left. Li Zhaowen waved his hand and asked his generals to retreat first.

The Qin Emperor looked over the world.

Li Zhaowen just looked at him from behind.

After a long while, Li Guanyi came back to his senses and asked, "What is Zhao Wen looking at?"

Li Zhaowen looked at his back and smiled, "Watching the world." With his hands behind his back, he was calm and free, but his fingers were lightly pinching the cuffs, his nails pinching the battle robe made of high-quality material. He first took a slight breath, then exhaled slowly, and did this three times.

Just now he looked relaxed and at ease, walking forward.

When he took a step, his heels touched the ground, and he could feel the touch of his footsteps and the earth. He walked over gently, his sleeves rolled down, and stood side by side with the Emperor Qin, as if nothing happened. He said, "It's been so many years, and that poor little pharmacist back then almost owned the world."

“There is nothing more wonderful in the world than this.”

Li Guanyi: "Yes, many things have changed."

Li Zhaowen noticed that the Emperor Qin's voice was calm, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to talk and laugh like before. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the Emperor Qin's profile, and said, "After watching this battle, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

Li Guanyi said: "There is no such thing as a guaranteed victory in this world."

"But you and I, everyone has come this far, there is no turning back, but we must win, it is only humanly possible."

Li Zhaowen chuckled: "What a great effort."

"The so-called doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate."

Li Guanyi said, "That's not the case. When I was young, I followed the ancestors to practice Taoist magic and also received Taoist talismans. I can be considered a Taoist disciple. However, most people in this world only practice Taoism to achieve a superficial state of [Wuwei]."

"But I don't know that simple inaction is just a form of escape. I tell myself to do nothing and not fight, but I don't know that inaction has a second half - [Nothing is impossible]."

"The world is so vast, in my eyes, there is nothing I cannot do, and I am not bound by any constraints."

Although he is young, he has experienced many hardships, gained and lost, and walked on the battlefields of the world. He has reached the realm of martial arts legends, and is no longer an ordinary person. Li Zhaowen said: "In this case, it seems that even if you don't enter the world, being a wandering Taoist priest is also worthwhile, and your realm is not inferior to that of the Taoist master."

The Emperor of Qin said: "Confucianism says that everyone has a compassionate heart."

Li Zhaowen looked at him sideways and smiled: "So?"

He replied: "It's simply because you and I saw this chaotic world, had thoughts and saw that some people turned their backs on the world and hid themselves, while some people, like you and me, saw it and could never let it go."

"Taoism says that we dare not be the first in the world."

"Confucianism says that one should not shirk responsibility when one is responsible."

"Buddhism says that everything in the universe is the result of cause and effect."

"It seems that people like you and me are Confucianists after all, so the Taoists also have swords coming down the mountain, and the Buddhists also have angry eyes of the Vajra."

Li Zhaowen lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Huang with a smile, and whispered in his heart, "That's true, but there are also many people who will take advantage of the situation in troubled times and become kings and hegemons. The reason why they didn't do so is that they met a little pharmacist like you on the road to rise."

“Pharmacists heal the world.”

“Look at the myriad things in the world and take the people as one.”

"Good name."

Li Guanyi: "What did you say?"

Li Zhaowen smiled and said, "I said your name is nice."

Li Guanyi said, "That's right. My parents gave it to me. But it's probably because Wanli and Guanyi are more pronounceable. After all, my father probably doesn't have much education, and even his fighting skills were honed on the battlefield."

Li Zhaowen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "But you are different. You learned from Wen Zhongzi and also from your ancestors. You have a variety of martial arts, but you have your own style. You will definitely come up with something new when you name it."

This one sentence already hints at all of Li Zhaowen's courage.

The famous general who was brave and heroic on the battlefield was sometimes cowardly. I don't know if the Qin Emperor heard the hidden meaning in these words. He just smiled and covered it up: "Speaking of which, in the Western Regions, after the battle with the Wolf King, one of my six horses was killed. When we buried him, you and I had three rules."

"First, I want you to accept Xiyi City in the midst of the turbulent times."

"Secondly, I'm worried that you'll be distracted when Chidi dies, so I want you to go out with me to relax."

Li Guanyi looked at Li Zhaowen and said, "So, you are going to use the third agreement this time?"

In front of the Tiance Palace, Li Zhaowen looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

She might, as she had expected many times, talk about getting married.

At first, he just admired her, and later they became like-minded friends. However, later on, his eyes were gradually attracted to her. The world is so big, and Li Zhaowen did not hide her feelings. She was originally a top-notch talent in the world.

Only the world's geniuses could catch her eye.

But at this time, she did not make such an agreement. If she had made such an agreement, she would no longer be Li Zhaowen. Was it because she was confident that she could do those things on her own, or was it because she, who was as proud as a phoenix, was also worried about the Qin Emperor's rejection.

Or in other words, it is an upright state of mind and the ambition to conquer the world.

This is where she and Li Guanyi are similar but also different.

She simply stretched out her hand, clenched her fist and hit Qin Huang's heart, smiled, took a small step back, and said: "Then, the third agreement, Qin Huang."

"You have to win the final victory."

"You must bring peace to the world."

"You have to fulfill your long-cherished wish."

Li Zhaowen retracted his palm, turned around freely, put his hands together behind his back, stretched lazily, and his lazy expression dispersed his heroic spirit. He said: "As for what I want, I will naturally rely on myself to get it!"

"Well, I have said what I wanted to say, and I have made the promises and agreements I wanted. This Duke will go and gather the troops and proceed according to the plan. Your Majesty, let's drink after the great victory."

She exhaled, stepped forward, her hair hanging down and flying, her phoenix eyes turned slightly, looking at Emperor Qin, smiling and whispering, her heroic face and temperament suddenly had a few more lazy charms: "Legends of martial arts are not difficult."

"You and I have long lives."

"The story between us is still very long."

"My Emperor Qin."

Li Zhaowen left calmly and freely.

The logistics general Changsun Wuchou who was hiding outside the Tiance Mansion covered his heart and stomach. The 47-year-old veteran covered his chest, looked up to the sky and sighed, choking in silence.

"Finally, finally."

"I've been pursuing this for more than ten years, and finally there is some progress."

"My old stomach doesn't hurt anymore!"

He raised his head and saw Li Zhaowen's dangerous smile: "General Changsun, what are you going to do here?"

Zhangsun Wuchou: “…………”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Just, just lost, lost."

"Ahahahaha, well, Mr. Yan Daiqing's government office is not here, I see, no wonder I couldn't find Mr. Yan Daiqing, ha, hahaha..."

Zhangsun Wuchou tried to escape.

Although he is talented, at the age of forty-seven, he is still only at the sixth level of the realm. Compared with ten years ago, he has indeed broken through one level, but the realm of the Grandmaster is like a chasm in the sky and is not so easy to break through.

In the previous hundreds of years, even the masters did not have more than these decades.

The top thirty generals on the list of generals are all masters.

This is an extremely terrifying lineup.

Only a great country in the Central Plains could have created such a situation and spirit after hundreds of years of fierce fighting in the endless vortex of battlefields, as if it had exhausted hundreds of years of heroic spirit and the blood of the people to create such a brilliant and magnificent world.

Li Zhaowen let Zhangsun Wuchou go and prepare the logistical matters.

Standing alone between heaven and earth, I felt a little hot. I exhaled, raised my hand to lift the hair at my temples, and my ears were already red.

"It's really hot."

………………

In the last three days, during these three years, Pojun had already arranged the mobilization of the troops. After the mobilization, the generals went to deal with their own affairs. Li Guanyi also put down his weapons and returned to the Murong family to accompany his aunt Murong Qiu Shui.

"Ahhh, godfather!!!"

"Eat my sword!"

Inside the courtyard of Murong's house, a little girl who looked about five or six years old, with two pigtails, held a wooden sword in her hand, and pounced towards Li Guanyi in front of her, performing the Seven Star Steps, which was the Wind-Chasing Step from the old Chen family's martial arts.

His skills are not very profound and solid, but he is from a famous master.

It was the magical skill [Red Dragon Shocks the Nine Provinces] that was taught by Yue Qianfeng himself.

The red dragon energy was pure and pure. When Yue Qianfeng taught the little girl martial arts, she was only three or four years old. Yue Qianfeng was such a hero. He had experienced many battlefields in his life and remained alive. He was extremely brave. But at that time, Chang Ning'er's palm was pressed on his palm. It was small, but it made his eyes red.

Back then, Ji Yanzhong taught the Red Dragon Power, a top-notch explosive skill, to a little bandit at that time. Later, that little bandit became a famous general in the world. In a small dilapidated temple, he taught the martial arts to a little pharmacist at that time.

Time goes by and the world goes round and round.

As for this moment, Yue Qianfeng is teaching martial arts to Chang Ning'er.

The story ends well.

Old Yue Qianfeng wiped away his tears and went to fight again. The little girl grew up with Murong Qiu Shui, learning martial arts and sword. When she saw Qin Huang coming back, she knew it was her adoptive father, so she went away with a long sword in her hand. Li Guanyi, wearing a blue robe, put one hand behind his back, holding a willow branch, and easily blocked the little girl's sword technique.

An old man nearby somersaulted and laughed: "Good, good!"

"Okay Ning'er, I'll poke at the armpit of your clothes. This sword is called Immortal Pointing the Way. It's supposed to be aimed at the vital point, but you're still too small, so I can only poke at his itchy spot."

"Excellent, excellent, this sword is great!"

It was old man Chen Chengbi. He and Chen Qingyan stayed in Jiangnan to protect Murong Qiu Shui. Chen Qingyan and Murong Qiu Shui had known each other since childhood and had some entanglements in the past, but now that all the entanglements had passed, they had all disappeared like smoke and clouds, and their relationship had become much better.

At this moment, the summer sun was shining brightly, and when the afternoon was not so hot, Emperor Qin personally practiced martial arts with Chang Ning'er. It seemed that because she grew up with Murong Qiushui and had the assistance of old man Chen Chengbi, Chang Ning'er was very tough. She was very tired and panting, but she did not let go of the wooden sword in her hand.

Seeing that she was tired, Li Guanyi deliberately relaxed his defense. The little girl's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and slashed with her sword, which landed on the sleeve of Emperor Qin. Li Guanyi cooperated very well and let out a cry, with a look of regret on his face.

The little girl suddenly became happy and shouted, "I won!"

Li Guanyi agreed and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Ning's female heroes are amazing."

The little girl put her hands on her hips, raised her head and chest, turned around and ran towards Murong Qiu Shui triumphantly, took a running start, pounced, and landed in Murong Qiu Shui's arms, saying, "Grandma, grandma, I beat my godfather!"

Murong Qiushui stretched out his fingers and pinched the little girl's ears, saying unhappily:
"Grandma, you just made me look older for no reason."

She took the elixir of immortality and her appearance remained unchanged. Although she seemed to be scolding the little girl, there was pity and affection in her eyes. Chang Ning'er had also figured out Murong Qiu Shui's personality early on, and she just rubbed against Murong Qiu Shui's arms like a little kitten.

Li Guan put down the willow branch, and walked slowly on the grass with a gentle look. It was the so-called family happiness in the world, and it reached its peak. Chang Ning'er played around for a while, but was already tired, and then fell asleep beside Murong Qiu Shui.

Li Guanyi cooked a meal himself and chatted with his aunt. Murong Qiu Shui mentioned many things from the past, saying that Li Guanyi was much quieter when he was a child than Chang Ning'er. She also said that Chang Ning'er was carefree, but not as good as Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi was holding back his anger when he was a child and was quiet and silent.

When Chang Ning'er first came here at the age of two, he often cried for his parents.

But time will dilute everything.

The time she has spent in Jiangnan now is longer than the time she spent in Zhongzhou City before. In addition, when she was one or two years old, she didn't remember much. When she first arrived, her parents who cried all day long gradually sank into the deepest part of her memory.

Murong Qiu Shui gently stroked Chang Ning'er's cheek as the little girl fell asleep with a chubby face. She said, "She used to ask me about her parents, but recently, she has asked less and less..."

"What can a two-year-old child remember?"

"I wonder if Chidi has the same idea. He hopes that she can let go of all this, not be trapped by her family and the so-called past glory, and live her life based on her own will and ideas."

Li Guanyi looked at Chang Ning'er and said, "Maybe, Changle Chang Ning, I also hope that she can live this life peacefully."

Murong Qiushui nodded, and after a long while, she said, "Is there going to be a war?"

Li Guanyi looked at Murong Qiu Shui.

The woman smiled and said, "Don't try to hide it from me. Don't forget who raised you from the age of three to this age? What could you possibly hide from me, your aunt?"

Murong Qiushui seemed to be laughing, but sighed:
"The world is in turmoil. Since you started on this path, you have seldom had time to come back and spend time with your aunt. When you do spend some time with her, you rush off to fight in other places. It's really worrying."

"Let me tell you, you can say that we can't reunite because we hope that people all over the world can reunite with their families more often."

"But, Auntie also knows that you and your great master are the same."

"You always have things to do, and you can't relax until you get something done..."

Murong Qiushui looked at the young man in front of her. She smiled softly, stood up, and waved to Li Guan. The mighty Qin Emperor lowered his head. The woman gently touched his hair and said, "Li Nuer, I won't be like those elders who cry and shout and ask you to stay."

"A true man has his ambitions in all parts of the world."

"But you have to come back alive, okay?"

Murong Qiushui choked up softly, "You are all that's left for my aunt."

Li Guanyi hummed, raised his head, gently held Murong Qiushui's hand, and said, "I swear to you, Auntie, I will definitely come back."

Time passed quickly when he was with his family. Three days seemed like a dream. The three armies lined up and the Emperor Qin went to the military camp in person. He distributed the aged jade wine that he had searched out from the palace of Emperor Chen to the soldiers of the three armies.

Li Guanyi personally wore armor and a battle robe and stood on the platform to review his generals.

Raise the glass: "Do you remember who I am?"

The three armies answered in unison: "Long live the Qin Emperor!"

The voice was as majestic as waves and thunder, but Li Guanyi was a little dazed. He thought of the disdain and resistance in the eyes of the three thousand people outside Zhenbei City when he said such words. Li Guanyi smiled, raised his wine cup, and faced the army in front of him.

Also to my past self and old friends.

Looking at those who left one by one, he said softly:

"Gentlemen, let's drink together!"

The three armies drank together, heroically and majestically. The Emperor of Qin wanted to imitate the heroes of the Jianghu, or to do something unrestrained and free and easy, and smash the wine bowl on the ground to boost his prestige and morale, but when he raised his hand, a little soldier whispered:
"Your Majesty, please don't smash it."

"There are so many of us, and if we destroy everything, how much money will it cost? It will be troublesome for the brothers in the logistics corps to clean up later."

The sergeant of the young soldier was so confused that his head was numb.

Although he wanted to say that too.

But wouldn't you ruin the morale of the army by saying this?

But the Qin Emperor was stunned, but laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, yes, it's better not to!" The little soldier scratched his head and laughed honestly, and the soldiers of the three armies laughed. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed, but there was a heavy momentum.

The Emperor Qin put the bowl aside, picked up the magic weapon beside him, and said:

"This battle started peacefully, just like before!"

"I……"

"No, I!"

"I will charge in the front. I will be the spearhead!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

The soldiers of the three armies drank the strong liquor and said in unison:
"My Emperor is victorious!!"

Li Guanyi said: "When we conquer the world and bring about a peaceful era, there will be no more suffering from wars!"

The three armies shouted in unison: "Great Qin will win!!!"

The Emperor of Qin took back the magic weapon in his hand and said softly: "The people will win."

"Drum roll, march!"

………………

In the Imperial Palace of Ying State and Dongdu.

Jiang Gaoxiao worked tirelessly, taking only a short rest every day, trying to restore the national strength of Daying. However, because Jiang Yuan's absurdity even exceeded Wen Qingyu and Jiang Su's expectations, Emperor Ying once again wanted to surrender the rebellious people, but with little success.

Whenever someone had the thought, someone would scold him:

"Have you forgotten the 30,000 people who were buried alive?"

So this thought stopped in an instant.

Jiang Gao finished handling government affairs and appeased the people. He felt exhausted. Someone brought him a bowl of ginseng soup, which barely restored his vitality. Jiang Cai looked through the files and said, "In a few years, Jiang Yuan has brought the entire country and the people to such a mess."

"However, I have checked the files and found that such changes were actually caused by external forces."

"It's a place called Saibei..."

Jiang Cai paused and looked at the name on the file.

There was a moment of silence. This talented strategist, everyone was stunned for a moment. As the most eloquent strategist, it seemed that she could not utter those three words.

Jiang Gao asked in confusion: "Saibei what?"

After Jiang Gao urged him several times, Jiang Cai finally said:
"Saibei, Yan Daiqing."

Jiang Gao was stunned.

Even in this situation, he actually laughed as if he was amused.

But the laughter was full of bitterness, and he said, "Yan Daiqing, hahahaha, what a great Yan Daiqing! No, which Yan Daiqing is this? Hahaha, Sister Cai, you tell me, people in the future will come to see us, the heroes of this troubled time."

"But I found that in this world, every time there is a major event, there is always Yan Daiqing. What would he think? Hahaha, cough cough cough... Isn't it that there is only one stone of talent in the world, and Yan Daiqing has eight buckets of it?"

"Or maybe Yan Daiqing will become a code name for an organization?"

Jiang Gao still had the mind to chuckle.

"But how did Yan Daiqing do this?"

"It can add fuel to the fire in our country."

Jiang Cai said: "He just used those twenty-four fake pearls and Jiang Yuan's fear in his heart, followed the trend and added fuel to the fire. This is a military strategist of the level of [Great Trend]. There may not be one in the past hundred years."

“But now, there are too many.”

Jiang Gao chuckled: "In troubled times, there are countless heroic spirits. People like this appear one after another."

Jiang Cai said: "However, the Grand Master said that there is no creation without destruction, and it finally awakened your majesty's heart of an emperor. After all, the Emperor Qin has just established a new country and has an insufficient foundation. Now is still the time to recuperate."

"Our Great Ying Kingdom is a strong and powerful country. Jiang Yuan's actions over the past three or four years will take at most two or three years to recover. In a few more years, our Great Ying Kingdom will be even stronger than before."

"The country is vast, with a history of three hundred years, many heroes and famous generals."

"At that time, we were not afraid of the Emperor Qin. This was the decision of the Grand Master."

"Report!!!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice broke the silence. A general rushed into the palace and shouted, "It's urgent! Your Majesty!"

Jiang Gao suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward, and asked, "What's the matter?!"

When the general reported this, the tired Jiang Gao and the calm Jiang Cai both froze in an instant.

"Report!"

"The Emperor of Qin, Li Guanyi, personally led an army of one million."

"Now, we have crossed the river!"
