Marquis of Shang

Chapter 92 Retreat

The message that came was simple.

The Fuyun Lu Clan announced that they had surrendered in this war, beheaded the chief culprit of this war, Chen Bailing, and sent him his head.

And as the price of admitting defeat in the war, Qinghe will be compensated for three yellow-grade treasures of the ominous environment.

Facing the Fuyun Lu clan, these conditions were almost perfunctory.

Qinghe's side, after haggling for a while, found that the Fuyun Lu clan had no tendency to give in at all, and unexpectedly accepted this condition very easily.

Facing the news from scholar-bureaucrat Chen Weiyao, Chen Qingxiang suddenly felt confused.

The battle between the two sides is too anticlimactic, right?
Chen Qingxiang still remembered that at the Spirit Elephant Stage, everyone was extremely angry, wishing to destroy the Fuyun Lu clan.

And now after several months of confrontation, after the death of a totem ominous realm and thousands of soldiers, is it over so simply?
The Fuyun Lu clan took the lead in declaring war, and they felt wronged and didn't want to fight any more, so they conceded defeat and paid some compensation.

The Chen Clan of Qinghe didn't want to continue the fight, so they got a nominal victory and a nominal compensation, so they decided to accept the result.

As for the thousands of soldiers who died in battle on both sides, and the Totem Distressed Countryman who died in battle on both sides, both sides did not mention it in a tacit understanding.

Facing this fact, Chen Qingxiang once again realized that there is a huge difference between the rich and powerful in this world and himself, an ordinary person before time travel.

Not only the difference in strength, but also the difference in heart.

In the eyes of the rich and powerful in this world, the lives of others are really just numbers and bargaining chips.

After a long silence, Chen Qingxiang told the news to the two six officials who stayed behind together.

Looking at the two people with happy faces, Chen Qingxiang just responded calmly.

However, Chen Qingxiang could feel that his soul seemed to have undergone a baptism.

……

Emperor Yi, five thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine years.

The fifth day of March.

The 110-year-old Qinghe scholar-official, Chen Weiyao, with the support of the army, returned to Qinghe Dayi with the momentum of victory.

Amidst the cheers and praises of the people, I returned to Qinghe Dayi.

With the return of the Qinghe army.

Chen Qingxiang has been busy for more than a month.

Handle sacrifices, banquets, rewards, pensions, etc., and many other things.

It's just that when dealing with Chen Bailing, the head of the enemy, Chen Qingxiang felt a little strange, something was wrong.

But after careful inspection for a while, I didn't find anything wrong.

Because he was too busy, Chen Qingxiang took his doubts to heart first, and after preparing to finish his busy work, he would spend some more time to check carefully to see if there was any problem.

It's just that when he finished his work and was about to take a good look at it, he got a report from a small official that Chen Bailing's head had been completely destroyed after the great sacrifice.

Facing such news, Chen Qingxiang could only put his doubts in the bottom of his heart.

It has been busy until April [-]th.

Uncle Ren Choucheng, after more than half a year, once again formed a team with some elders of the Chen clan to control a three-foot flying boat with the ability to fly away.

Going more than [-] miles away, the Yang clan in the pagoda of Doctor Qing is running around for Chen Qingxiang's marriage.

At this time, Chen Qingxiang began to relax relatively.

But it was only half a month leisurely.

……

On May [-]th, after the court meeting of the National Service Hall.

Chen Qingxiang was once again kept by Chen Weiyao, a scholar-bureaucrat.

It is still on the square outside the Bangfu Hall.

The two stood quietly, after waiting for all the officials and ministers to leave one by one.

As the power of Qinghe Spiritual Elephant Totem circulates, it protects and covers.

Chen Weiyao, a scholar-bureaucrat, directly told Chen Qingxiang a heart-shattering message.

Chen Weiyao, who is dressed in the fine clothes of Qinghe scholar-bureaucrats and wears a spirit elephant hanging on his head.

Looking at Chen Qingxiang through the hanging gap, a very calm voice sounded, and said slowly:

"Qingxiang, I plan to start retreating to break through the Totem Origin Realm in three months' time."

"This time I broke through the closed door, it is closed to death, and if I fail, I will die."

"Hope you're ready."

And Chen Qingxiang was shocked when he heard Chen Weiyao's words.

For the seat that I thought would have to wait for several years, or even ten years, suddenly, it felt so close.

After being silent for a while, Chen Qingxiang restrained his mind, and then asked in a deep voice:
"Why did your majesty make such a decision?"

"Breakthrough in three months, isn't it too early?"

Seeing Chen Qingxiang's question in a daze, Chen Weiyao didn't say anything more.

He just waved his hands, then waved his sleeves, let out a burst of laughter, put his hands behind his back, and left majestically.

Then there was a word that came from afar.

"Qingxiang, I also want to see the scenery of Yuanjing!"

……

Watching Chen Weiyao leave.

Chen Qingxiang paused for a few breaths before turning around and going straight back to the Zongzi's mansion.

With a steady mind and some decisions in his heart, Chen Qingxiang couldn't care about today's practice.

Directly send someone to call over Chen Xuling, Chen Yinfa, and Yifengrou, the three confidantes of the totem ominous environment.

Then he told the three of them what the scholar-bureaucrat Chen Weiyao had said.

"My lords, how should I prepare for this matter?"

After hearing the news, the three of them were also stunned. They didn't come back to their senses until they heard Chen Qingxiang's question.

Chen Xuling spoke directly with a hint of excitement in his voice:
"Zongzi, it's inappropriate for you to respond to this matter."

Following Chen Xuling's opening, Yi Fengrou said in a trembling voice:
"Xu Ling's words are correct. This time, your majesty said that he broke through the closed door, but it may not be true."

"Even if it's true now, maybe after three months, Your Majesty will change his mind again."

"It's even possible that this news is just used by Your Majesty to test you."

Chen Yinfa also interjected:

"You just need to follow the usual practice and wait until Your Majesty actually announces the start of retreat and breakthrough, and it's not too late to make a move!"

"Yes, when the emperor retreats, you will be in charge of the government as the eldest son, and you don't need to do anything!"

"Your Majesty has successfully broken through, so you are still in the current situation."

"If there is an emergency on your lord, you can carry the general trend and directly succeed to the throne in a legitimate way."

……

Follow the three of you and me.

Chen Qingxiang gradually made a decision based on the various thoughts in his heart.

Continuing as usual, as the eldest son, he is now in charge of a spiritual elephant cauldron. He is the great ancestor Chen Weiyao.

No need to go the other way.

As for the possibility of a successful breakthrough by the scholar-officials.

To be honest, according to Chen Qingxiang's observation, apart from himself, there are basically few people in Qinghe Dayi who have confidence in him.

And this situation comes from the past few decades.

Chen Weiyao, a scholar-bureaucrat, has failed three times in breaking through the Totem Yuan Realm.

Nothing but three.

　Let me tell you, some book friends felt that the update time was too late, so I moved the update time two hours earlier, from the original twelve o'clock in the evening to ten o'clock in the evening.
