Chapter 473: Revenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Anyone who wasn’t a fool would understand that the emperor valued this case very much and it couldn’t be negligent at all. Otherwise, it would be disobeying the emperor and a serious crime.
Xia Yansheng lowered his eyes. “I’ll naturally do my best.”
The outcome was set!
However, the royal court was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Yu Zongshen looked at the old minister beside him, whose face was already ashen. He lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground. “Your Majesty is wise.”
Only then did the ministers react. They knelt on the ground and shouted, “Our emperor is wise. Long live our emperor.”
The news spread outside the palace
Mr. Xian Yun was playing chess with Mr. Hu Shan.
The black and white chess pieces collided, revealing hidden killing intent for no reason.
Mr. Hu Shan stroked his long beard and looked at the chess game steadily. “This chess game is very exquisite. The intentions of the black and white chess pieces are hidden. Who knows if they are real or fake, but they’re interconnected and have hidden killing intent. The person who this game is also hiding in the game and is using himself as a chess piece to push for the changes in the chess game.”
Mr. Xian Yun looked up at him. “I was the one who started this game just now. Why are you so sure that I’m not the one who set it up?
Mr. Hu Shan rolled his eyes at him. “Everyone in the world calls you and me the ‘Sages of Yushan’. Compared to the ancient sages, we’ve only read a few more books and picked up the wisdom of our predecessors. Only by standing on their shoulders can we see greater heights. How can we dare to call ourselves sages? We’ve known each other for decades. How can I not know you
In other words, the two of them were about the same. I don’t have the ability, and of course you don’t.
Mr. Xian Yun sighed slightly. “That’s right!’
Mr. Hu Shan looked at the chessboard again and pointed at a white chess piece on it. “This is a reflection of what is going on and the pieces represent the leaders and followers. This chess game uses the world as a chessboard, the emperor as a chess piece, and officials as chess pieces. We don’t dare to call ourselves ‘Sages’, but the people who run this chess game are worthy to be called ‘Saints’. What do you think?”
Mr. Xian Yun nodded. “However, this game is only the tip of the iceberg on the chessboard of the person who set it up. I’m ashamed, but I can only see the tip of the iceberg. It suits the current royal court.”
Mr. Hu Shan was suddenly surprised, but not surprised. “The most powerful hunters often appear in front of others as prey. Yin Huaixi used the battle in Shandong as a chessboard and used himself to lure the current emperor and Elder Xia into a game. If Yin Huaixi isn’t a sage, how can anyone in the world dare to call themselves a sage?
Even the current emperor was probably a speck of dust in his eyes.
The current court situation was all under Yin Huaixi’s control. The emperor was being played by him, but he did not notice it. He was still waving the flag, shouting for him, and giving him reputation and status.
Mr. Hu Shan agreed deeply. “Previously, I had a chat with Yin Huaixi about the situation in Shandong. He didn’t mention how to eliminate the disaster in Shandong, and I didn’t ask because Yin Huaixi never did anything he wasn’t confident in. Even if he wasn’t confident, he could create a chance of winning. That’s the most terrifying thing about this person.”
Mr. Hu Shan did not know Yin Huaixi well, but ever since he had entered the capital, he had paid a lot of attention to him. “You’re right. Looking at the situation in the battle in Shandong, Yin Huaixi has vividly displayed the word ‘ intelligent’. ”
He paused for a moment
“He joined forces with officials from all over Shandong and broke the alliance of the clan to lay the foundation for this battle.”
“Inducing the clan to resist Li Qiguang and weaken their power.”
“Killing the Ye family head is an act of establishing authority. It will raise the morale of the Imperial Court and destroy Li Qiguangs prestige. The hearts of the clan will collapse, and it’s only logical to capture Li Qiguang alive.”
“To capture the bandits, we have to capture the king first. Once Li Qiguang is caught, it will be followed by a group of traitors. They will have no leader and will be in a state of disunity.”
Mr. Xian Yun agreed deeply. “Every scheme hit the nail on the head. Moreover, the scheme was precise and mysterious, with no deviations or mistakes. It formed a situation where nothing was missing. In the end, he obtained the greatest victory at the lowest price.”
“Yin Huaixi’s scheme is far more than that.” Mr. Hu Shan looked at the chessboard and suddenly took a white chess piece and placed it in a corner north of the chessboard. “You should be missing a chess piece!”
Mr. Xian Yun took a closer look. This chess piece was connected to the chessboard, forming another force. “This child has the intention to take revenge on the Great Zhou.”
Hu Shan lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
Mr. Xian Yun’s sentence came from Qu Yuan’s “Eastern Lord”. However, the Eastern Lord in the poem was great, brilliant, generous, and selfless.
However, the Yin Huaixi that Mr. Xian Yun had mentioned might not be the case.
Mr. Xian Yun used this as a metaphor for Yin Huaixi, probably because he hoped that Yin Huaixi would be like the Eastern Lord. “Raise a long arrow and shoot at the Heavenly Wolf. Control the remaining arcs and prevent chaos. Use the Big Dipper as a goblet and fill it with wine for the people.”
He raised his long arrow and shot at the greedy Heavenly Wolf. He controlled the Heavenly Bow to prevent calamity from descending to the human world. He used the Big Dipper as a goblet and filled it with fine wine. The wine was directed to the ground and given to the human world.
The situation in Shandong was settled, and Yin Huaixi’s name spread throughout the world.
After more than a month, Yu Youyao finally received a message from her cousin.
She was in no hurry to open the letter that Yin San had sent. First, she took the letter that her cousin had sent her at the end of August from the camphor box. There was a faint musk scent on the letterhead. It was mixed with the fragrance of brushes, ink, and books, but it was very elegant.
There was only one line of words on the letter. “A hundred thousand soldiers entrusted their lives to me.”
For the next month, she did not receive any more messages from her cousin.
Yu Youyao gently rubbed the letter in her hand and chuckled. “We’ll take care of each other. With the least losses, we’ll resolve the chaos in Shandong. Those soldiers who can’t go home because of the war and can reunite with their families can finally go home.”
Her cousin had never taken Li Qiguang seriously.
In his opinion, Li Qiguang was not as important as a single soldier under him. He had painstakingly planned this just to bring more soldiers home and reunite with their families with the least damage.
He had done it.
Mr. Xian Yun said that her cousin was the Asura of the world, but she felt that he was the Eastern Lord. “He’s about to usher in a new era for the east.”
The sun was about to rise in the east.
Yu Youyao opened the letter that Yin San had just sent. “I’ll definitely return in late October. I’m fine. Don’t miss me!”
These short words made Yu Youyao overjoyed.
After hugging the letter happily for a while, she asked, “Quick, tell me how
Cousin invited them into the trap and captured Li Qiguang alive without wasting a single soldier.”
Yin San explained, “After Young Master instigated the rebellion of the clans led by the Leng Residence, Li Qiguang was suspicious and suspected that there were still spies from the Imperial Court in the clan. He didn’t trust them much to begin with, and the clan relationship that was barely maintained with benefits was already only in name.”
“Patriarch Ye’s death was undoubtedly a shock to the clans. Many clans withdrew from the alliance. Li Qiguang knew that he was no match for him, so he pretended to deal with the Imperial Court for half a month and pushed the other clans around him out to block the attack..”
