isplay!"Everyone immediately turned their attention back from the alarm, to the monitor screen. They also noticed something was amiss, because it was just too obvious.In the painting, the two people s...In Xuanwu Country, the second prince ascended the throne when his father was assassinated. He held a grudge, and although he could have inherited the throne smoothly, the assassination by Panlong Country forced him to take a roundabout path. He was left with no choice but to reveal his hidden strength.
Although he finally got what he wanted, he also lost some manpower. His brothers weren't easy to get along with either.
This time, he just took a big breath and let it out openly. With the three kingdoms united, they had no reason to fail, so Xuanwu Huang, as the vanguard, made the first move.
The Panlong Kingdom also sent envoys to denounce the accusations, denying that they had sent anyone to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu. They demanded evidence be presented.
The Xuanwu's courtiers directly threw the evidence in the face of the Panlong Nation's envoy. The Panlong Nation's undercover agent's unique tokens, as well as the jade plaques they received with assassination orders, did indeed appear to belong to the Panlong Nation.
The envoy from Panlong Nation was filled with doubt, but on his face was an expression of fury. He loudly proclaimed that there were countless reasons to accuse them, only to be thrown out in the end.
Negotiations collapsed, the two nations officially went to war. The Xuanwu Nation restrained one-third of the Panlong Nation's border forces, and they were still able to cope with the situation.
Next, the White Tiger Kingdom also joined the fray, for the same reason. It's not easy for an emperor to cultivate a crown prince, and they had to vent their frustration somehow.
The Panlong Nation was attacked from both sides, yet they stubbornly denied any involvement in the assassination of the White Tiger Nation's prince. However, no one cared anymore; that was just an excuse to start the war.
After receiving the letter announcing the successful conclusion of Spring Planting, Ripples put the matter of attacking Panlong Nation and avenging the Emperor on the agenda.
“As you all know, my previous intention was to act but I lacked the resources. Furthermore, a devastating flood struck our land, leaving many cities with little or no harvest. The overall grain yield across all cities plummeted. If I had launched an attack at that time, it would have plunged my people into chaos and suffering, which is something I absolutely could not bear to witness.”
The ambitious Dragon Nation not only attacked our Phoenix Nest Nation, but also the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Nations. This time, with the two nations attacking, it's a good opportunity for us. Therefore, I've decided to send troops to conquer the Dragon Nation.”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"
The courtiers also felt that the timing was right, and they had a righteous cause. However, when it came to choosing the troops, there were several recommendations, including the eldest princess and the second princess.
With a wave of his hand, Lian Yi appointed General Feng Di as the commander-in-chief of the border army. He also appointed Generals Feng Ming and Zhao Li as deputy commanders to assist General Feng Di. They must tear off a piece of flesh from the Dragon Basin Kingdom.
At this time, the second princess stood up directly and requested to take on the task. She wanted to personally avenge her father, stating that the revenge for killing one's father is a debt that must be repaid.
Ripples glanced at the Second Princess and nodded in agreement.
Three days later, Feng Di led the second princess and a hundred thousand assembled troops to the border to meet with Feng Ming and Zhao Li.
The banner Phoenix Kingdom raised was that of revenge for the royal consort. This time, Dragon Kingdom had no time to argue, because they did commit the assassination, and whether they admitted it or not held no significance anymore.
The nation of Panlong was beset on three sides, attacked by a coalition of three kingdoms. This engagement involved the entirety of their national forces and caused widespread panic throughout the country. The new emperor spent almost every day in the court roaring with frustration, but he had no effective solutions.
Zhang Zhang had already begun to consider his own escape route. He finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go and seek peace, to quell this war."
How about it
The Pánlóng Emperor spoke in a low voice, his dark circles and bloodshot eyes making him look rather gloomy.
"I will go first to investigate and see what they really want."
Zhang Zhang hung his head and said.
"Go ahead!"
At this point, if we don't talk, his army won't be able to hold out much longer.
Before this, he had also wanted to ally with the White Tiger Nation to deal with the Xuanwu Nation. The Fengqi Nation was not even in his consideration range. As a result, in the end, it was the three nations that united to attack the Panlong Nation. Now all the pressure is on him.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not disgrace my mission."
Zhang Zhang pointed at several officials and the next day left Panlong Country, beginning his journey of negotiation.
After the Second Imperial Princess followed General Feng Di to the border, she began to frequently contact General Zhao Li. Of course, everything was as usual on the surface, but privately, she was plotting something unknown.
Feng Ming carried a wine jug and went to find Feng Di. The two old friends, reunited, naturally enjoyed a good drink. The conversation naturally turned to the second princess.
"Zhao Li's people, I have already moved many with the eagle talisman, but she still kept her core generals. Now that the Second Princess has arrived, she is even more arrogant, using two victories to start gathering troops."
Feng Ming has always been stationed at the border, so she knows the situation here better than anyone else.
"It's fine, let them frolic for now. We'll deal with the matter of Panlong Nation after we take it down. The second princess is also a fool. The most powerful leg is right in front of her, yet she goes to flatter the Zhao family, an outsider. She's both stupid and venomous."
Feng Di curled her lips in a sarcastic remark.
The Queen's assassination, she was one of the investigators involved, so she knew exactly what happened.
That was the capital city, not some field or village outskirts. How did over a hundred assassins manage to infiltrate the capital and silently slip into Zhu Xiuyuan That place was a royal garden; without an insider, finding their way in would be impossible. With our feet we could guess that someone secretly helped the assassins.
Any discerning person could see that the second imperial princess benefited from this situation, after all, the first imperial princess was also at Zhuoxiu Garden at that time.
To clear her name, the Second Imperial Princess even had her husband participate in a staged act of misery. However, the other party took advantage of this scheme and struck, ultimately taking the husband's life in the process, leaving him dead for nothing.
The Second Imperial Princess immediately retreated to the Princess Residence under the guise of mourning. This time, she arrived at the border under the banner of avenging their father. As the commander-in-chief, what was her purpose She naturally knew very well.
"Just be sure of your numbers! I heard the Panlong Nation has sent envoys, wanting to negotiate a peace treaty and end this one-sided war."
Phoenix directly changed the subject.
The Queen has already negotiated with two other countries to divide the Panlong Nation into three parts, with each country taking one share. Whether they negotiate or not doesn't really matter anymore.
"Now the emperor of Panlong Nation is going to have a stroke from anger! Hahaha!" Let me know if you need anything else translated!
A clear and loud laugh rang out, echoing far away. It reached the ears of the second princess who was returning to her tent. She just glanced over, then stepped into her own tent.
She has already discussed with Zhao Li. Taking advantage of the end of the war and their victory returning to the capital, she will lead her troops to force a palace coup, forcing the Empress Dowager to abdicate in her favor. This time, she is going all in.
Before his passing, her father only managed to utter three words: "She knows!"
She was well-known to the second princess. As for what she knew, it must have been about the plot hatched between her and those from Panlong Kingdom to assassinate the imperial convoy. That's why she was so terrified at the time. After attending her father's funeral, she hid herself in the Imperial Princess Manor to reduce her presence.
But the expedition to the Panlong Kingdom reignited her ambition. She wanted to give it a try, for the position was just one step away, and she wouldn't be willing to give up like that.o rob our apartment complex residents of their food. My friends and I took them down, and after interrogating them, we found out that place was their secret hideout, filled with lots of food."Yuan Cho...
