Chapter 141: Army Dispatched.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Primal Chaos Palace.
When they heard that the Kings had dispatched their army to Chang’an City, everyone was shocked.
None of the Officials expected that the Kings would actually dare to rebel!
“How is it possible?”
While Emperor Li Sheng was shocked, he was also puzzled.
In the past few years, he has gained some understanding of the Kings.
Although the Kings seem to be connected to the roots on the surface, they were in fact contradictory to each other, and no one trusted anyone.
If Emperor Li Sheng openly persecuted the Kings, then the Kings might join forces for their common enemy, but Emperor Li Sheng did not do so!
Although he did uproot the moles that the Kings placed in Chang’an City, that was actually not at all painful.
After all, the roots of the Kings on their own Fiefdom were deep. As long as Emperor Li Sheng did not meddle in their Fiefdom, everything could be restored.
Although the Kings have wild ambitions, they don’t dare to rebel openly. That was equivalent to a complete turnaround with the Empire, and there would be no room for retreat.
Sure if it’s successful, then all is well.
But what if they fail?
The Kings would not dare to gamble like this.
“What is the reason that made the Kings determined to rebel?”
Emperor Li Sheng subconsciously noticed that there was something fishy, but he couldn’t figure it out.
“Your Majesty.”
“What should we do now?”
At this moment, an Official stood up and asked worriedly.
“What to do?”
Emperor Li Sheng stood up and said with a hint of coldness on his face: “Since they want to fight, then we shall give it.”
If the Kings did not rebel, Emperor Li Sheng would not have minded spending decades just slowly eradicating the King’s wings before finally cutting the Kings out of the picture.
But now that they had declared war and rebelled, Emperor Li Sheng had no other choice.
If he flinches at this time, it isn’t a matter of losing his face, but the face of the Li Family.
“Minister of War, Shangshu.”
Emperor Li Sheng turned his eyes and looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
“This one is here.”
Shangshu stood up and bowed.
“Assemble the army.”
Emperor Li Sheng said solemnly.
“As you wish Your Majesty.”
Shangshu bowed.
…
…
Outside the East Palace.
“Uncle Qin.”
Imperial Princess Li Wan stood there cheerfully, whilst shouting and moving towards the East Palace.
“Why are you here?” Su Qin walked out and glanced at Imperial Princess Li Wan.
“Didn’t Uncle Qin say last time that if I have any questions about Martial Arts, I can ask you?”
Imperial Princess Li Wan blinked her eyes and said pitifully: “Could it be that Uncle Qin forgot…”
“Sure, you can ask.”
Su Qin shook his head. He doesn’t know where or when Imperial Princess Li Wan learnt to act cute. His sister Su Yueyun probably also doesn’t know this…
“By the way.”
“Has Li Yuan learned Martial Arts?”
Su Qin asked.
For those who don’t remember, Li Yuan is the son of Emperor Li Sheng, the future Crown Prince.
Unlike Imperial Princess Li Wan, Li Yuan was very afraid of Su Qin. To him, Su Qin was like a cat and he’s a mouse.
“Him? He’s not interested in Martial Arts and I don’t want to talk to him…”
Imperial Princess Li Wan shook her head then said: “I beat him yesterday and told him to grab me some delicious food…”
When Su Qin heard this he was quite speechless.
Imperial Princess Li Wan had already entered Grade 9, so there was absolutely no problem in beating a child like Li Yuan, who was less than ten years old.
“Tell me about your doubts.”
Su Qin did not continue to talk about other topics and just said directly.
“Uncle Qin, every time I do my exercises, I always feel a little awkward. I asked a few Seniors, and they also didn’t know what was going on. They just said that I should just repeat it a few more times…”
Imperial Princess Li Wan looked at Su Qin expectantly.
In her memory, Su Qin has always stayed at the East Palace, as if he had never gone out.
Even her Imperial Father respects Su Qin very much and does not treat Su Qin as an ordinary person at all.
So, in the heart of Imperial Princess Li Wan, Su Qin should be a Great Master.
“Try your luck now.”
Su Qin glanced at Imperial Princess Li Wan. He had his guess on what might be the reason, but he wanted to let her play for a while.
“Okay~”
Imperial Princess Li Wan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly circulated her Cultivation Technique.
In less than a moment, Su Qin stopped her.
“You should change Cultivation Techniques.”
Su Qin said.
Imperial Princess Li Wan’s problem was that the Cultivation Technique she’s using, was not compatible with her physique.
Of course, the discrepancy here was very slight, that’s why even a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster would find it hard to detect.
But in Su Qin’s eyes, it was like the back of his hand.
“Huh?”
“Change Cultivation Techniques…”
Imperial Princess Li Wan was puzzled.
The Cultivation Technique she’s using, is already the best Cultivation Technique in the entire Imperial Palace. If she wants to change it, she really doesn’t know which one to use.
“You wait here for a minute.”
Su Qin glanced at Imperial Princess Li Wan, then turned and returned to the East Palace.
Soon Su Qin walked out and was holding a piece of paper with wet ink.
“Try following this Cultivation Technique.”
Su Qin said.
The record on the paper was a Cultivation Technique that Su Qin obtained in recent years. Although it was not comparable to other Divine Arts that he obtained, it was the most suitable Cultivation Technique for Imperial Princess Li Wan’s physique.
Imperial Princess Li Wan took the paper, looked at it carefully, and suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Although she was only a Grade 9 Martial Artist, Imperial Princess Li Wan can faintly perceive that the Cultivation Technique Su Qin gave her was much more brilliant than all the Cultivation Techniques in the Imperial Palace!
“Remember…”
“In the path of Martial Arts, it is important that you have to take it step by step, don’t be impatient.”
Su Qin said to Imperial Princess Li Wan.
After Imperial Princess Li Wan left, Su Qin turned his gaze and looked towards the frontier.
“The Kings joined forces?”
Su Qin slightly frowned.
Since the news came out in the morning, Chang’an City had been panicking, and people in the palace were gossiping about it.
…
At the same time.
Several thousands li away from Chang’an City.
The soldiers of the Kings were camping.
Behind the army, was a military camp where the Kings gathered.
“My lord.”
“I did what you said.”
“When the soldiers approach Chang’an City, the Old Ancestor in the Imperial Palace will be left to you…”
The Jiannan King looked at the indifferent man not far away, with a slight respect in his tone.
The other nine Kings were equally respectful when they heard this.
If it weren’t for the indifferent man revealing his identity, the Kings would definitely not dare to stake all on one throw like this and revolt.
The Kings separately ruled one side, although in name they listened to the orders of the Emperor, but in reality they didn’t.
With their high position, great wealth and beauties were guaranteed for their generations to enjoy.
Under this premise, how could the Kings dare to risk a rebellion?
But the benefits that the indifferent man gave were too great, and the Kings also felt that the rebellion would not fail, so they gambled everything they had.
