“Endurance is the philosophy that Prime Minister Qin has always insisted on.”
Qin Lishi looked coldly at the young man in white and said indifferently, “The Blue Wave River is a natural chasm and naturally protects our Great Zhao. Once we cross the river, the Great Zhao army might not be able to defeat the Yuan Mene Steel Cavalry. At that time, once the defense line is broken, the Yuan Meng Steel Cavalry will cross the river and go south. These tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers will be filled with smoke again. The people will be plunged into misery and suffering, and the five hundred years of prosperity will be like a dream destroyed!”
“This is naturally my stand. In the current world, Great Zhao is not the strongest. With West Liang eyeing us covetously and the Dali Imperial Preceptor ruling the country with a new policy, once the North Expedition fails, the price will be unimaginable. Therefore, it’s naturally not wrong to endure it for a while.
An Le smiled and said, “Since Minister Qin can easily endure the hatred of the country, why can’t you endure this personal hatred? The Hall Examination is imminent. If I don’t enter the top three, Great Zhao’s laws will naturally suppress me. At that time, if Prime Minister Qin wants to deal with me, there’s naturally no need to make such a big fuss.”
Arrogant!
Qin Lishi’s gaze focused as he stared at the young man in snow-white clothes who had condensed an invincible aura like a white python.
He also understood the meaning of the young man’s words.
Defending the south was just a matter of stability. Qin Lishi had never felt that he was in the wrong. As the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, once he made the decision to attack the north, if the North Expedition failed, he would have to suffer eternal infamy.
Qin Lishi was unwilling to gamble. The civil and military officials who supported him were also unwilling to give up on Lin’an’s current safety and prosperity to gamble with him.
At the very least, during his time as Prime Minister, he would not gamble, nor was there a need to.
Qin Lishi also understood the other meaning behind An Le’s words.
The young man was very confident. He was confident that he could enter the top three in the Hall Examination, and today’s words left him no way out.
Once he failed, he would definitely be suppressed by the laws of Great Zhao. At that time, the youth who fell into the Dali Temple’s Zhao Prison would naturally not have the strength to struggle.
This was the path that the young man had chosen. He had given up on the help of external forces and gambled on his confidence.
As expected of a young man who dared to walk the legendary path of Li You’an gathering invincible aura.
Even Qin Lishi admired the youth’s courage at this moment, but admiration was admiration. The hatred of killing his son would not be eliminated just like that.
Qin Lishi looked at An Le coldly, the killing intent in his eyes receding.
His figure floated down and landed on the city tower. His red official robe fluttered in the spring wind and rain that fell again.
“In that case, I’ll get someone to clean up a cell in advance in the Zhao Prison of the Dali Temple as your burial ground.” Qin Lishi said.
The moment he said this, it meant that he had endured it.
Today, if he did not kill An Le, he did not need to fight with Li You’an, Zhao Huangting, Hua Jiebing, and the others. It would not be beneficial to him to stir up a storm in Lin’an. He would even lose too many experts.
However, he would definitely make An Le unable to enter the top three in the Hall Examination.
The confident young man would eventually die under his own confidence.
Qin Lishi knew very well that An Le’s background and trump cards were just temporary illusions.
Li You’an and Di Cang would eventually leave Lin’an for the Blue Wave River.
Zhao Huangting would die at the end of his lifespan, and Hua Jiebing and the Lin Residence… would definitely weaken.
The supporters behind the young man would wither like autumn flowers, and in the end, only the young man would be exposed.
At that time, it would be easy for Qin Lishi to kill the youth.
Just as the young man had said, he could tolerate the country’s enmity. Why couldn’t he tolerate such a small grudge?
Qin Lishi looked coldly at the white-robed young man who had left the city on his sword above Lin’an Prefecture. He slowly closed his eyes.
Li You’an looked at Qin Lishi, who had his eyes closed, and then at An Le, who was riding his sword out of the city. He suddenly chuckled.
In this way, An Le had really forced himself to a dead end. However, once he walked out of this dead end, the young man’s future… might be incomparably dazzling and blinding.
Li You’an floated out of the city.
Qin Lishi’s eyes were still closed.
In the sky above Lin’an Prefecture, the old man of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Zhao Huangting, couldn’t help but sneer. “How boring. I thought that you, Qin Lishi, would fight at all costs because of your son’s death. I was already preparing to fight, but you endured it again. As expected of Qin Lishi, you really can endure it.”
“You have no courage at all.”
“Sometimes, tolerance means giving up an opportunity.”
“It’s the same when facing the Yuan Meng Empire and it’s the same when dealing with An Le.”
After saying this meaningfully, Zhao Huangting landed back in the city with his bamboo cane. He knew where Li You’an was taking An Le, so he did not follow him.
Since Li You’an could bring An Le to that place, he naturally thought highly of this kid, so he did not join in the fun.
Martial Chief Di Cang’s Qi Blood surged like a blood-colored flood dragon spreading throughout his body. He stared at Qin Lishi, who had his eyes closed on the city gate tower. He was the most powerful minister who had obstructed the North Expedition.
He shifted his gaze and looked at An Le’s departing back. Perhaps An Le would tell Qin Lishi the outcome of prolonged endurance.
Hua Jiebing and Fourth Master Lin naturally had nothing to say to Qin Lishi.
The Lin Residence and Prime Minister Qin’s Residence were like fire and water.
A storm that filled the entire Lin’an Prefecture did not completely erupt.
However, everyone knew that the true storm would completely erupt during the Hall Examination.
On the city tower, Qin Lishi slowly opened his eyes.
The cold spring rain hit his face, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Many Primordial Spirits swept their gazes over from the void, but Qin Lishi ignored them. The red official robe on his body was burning as he faced the entire Lin’an Prefecture and spat out two words..
