He Bibiqu said, “If Yuezhou falls, we will forever be the criminals of Great Qin.”

The head of the Purple Clothes Division said, “But whoever initiates the first move must be responsible for the consequences; without instructions from the higher-ups, regardless of the outcome, it will always result in an unmanageable mess; and outside of this mess, there has to be someone willing to take the blame.”

He Bibiqu calmly remarked, “The very reason why I was sent here was to be that person who takes the blame!”

“The so-called Divine Appointment is nothing more than a charm for protection, and this Life-saving Golden Token should be used in this moment.”

He Bibiqu said, “Everyone can proceed without hesitation, I will take full responsibility.”

The head of the Black Clothes Division said with a grave expression, “Lord, we understand your intentions, but this matter has serious implications. The aftermath of this will be hard to quell. One person, even you, cannot possibly bear all the consequences. The weight of a single Life-saving Golden Token is not enough to compensate for this disaster.”

“So what if it’s not enough?”

He Bibiqu stood up and said, “This action must be taken. As long as you all genuinely perform your duties thoroughly, precisely, and comprehensively, there will always be room for manoeuvre. Are we supposed to avoid all these tasks simply out of fear of the consequences and of taking responsibility?”

“Then what use are we, the Heavenly Clothes? What is the purpose of our existence? The Heavenly Clothes are defined by the objective to paint the borders of Great Qin with a rainbow, allowing everyone to appreciate the colorful splendors of life.”

“Of all the colors in the rainbow, red is the first and foremost. Has the rainbow ever feared sacrifice? It’s only when the rainbow sacrifices and showcases itself that it paints a magnificent and beautiful scenery!”

“Gentlemen, never forget the sacred duty of our Heavenly Clothes.”

He Bibiqu stood up and said in a solemn voice, “I command!”

Everyone promptly stood up, standing tall and straight: “Please give your orders, sir!”

“The government office of Yuezhou, the responsibility lies with the Purple Clothes. Ensure that, even amid war, social order can be quickly restored. Someone must be able to stand up and take control when the dust settles.”

“The Purple Clothes have been preparing for this for a year. We can definitely accomplish this without the slightest oversight!”

“For the assassination of the rebel leaders, we count on the Red Clothes!”

“The Red Clothes are ready to die. Our mission comes first, we will not rest even in death!”

“The mood of the populace also needs to be placated, particularly the mood of the students. Blue Clothes, any objections?”

“We are fully prepared.”

“The officials, the population registry, the finance… ”

“Acknowledged!”

“Treatment of the wounded, as well as various negotiations, falls under the management of White Clothes.”

“Acknowledged!” The head of the White Clothes Division immediately agreed, not daring to delay.

Kong Gaohan, the highest ranking official in the White Clothes Division, was present at the moment. If there were any hitches, the director would likely be skinned alive by Kong Gaohan on the spot.

So, he was the most vigilant at the moment.

“Regarding the military…”

Finally, the head of the Yellow Clothes Division hesitantly asked, “Lord He, when Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu arrived in Yuezhou, was it in preparation for today’s events?”

He Bibiqu frowned, calmly saying, “We haven’t reached that point yet, so some things should not be mentioned prematurely, nor should conclusions be drawn prematurely.”

“Yes.”

“You know how to manage public opinion, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

…

Unbeknownst to anyone, Yuezhou gradually fell into an atmosphere of fear and apprehension. Gossip and rumors began to grow more rampant in Yuezhou.

“Did you know, Great Qin has already decided to abandon Yuezhou; well, it’s not surprising.”

“Yuezhou has been left hanging for many years, consuming a massive amount of military and financial resources every year. Plus, it faces the elite forces of Great Qi and Great Yan from both sides, making it difficult to move; it’s better to give it up, let Great Yan and Great Qi fight each other to a bloody end, and let Great Qin clean up the mess later, reaping the benefits.”

“But what about the people of Yuezhou?”

“The public…haha, in front of state politics, who would bother about the public?”

…

“Yuezhou, when separated, becomes the hills; when reversed it means the mound; it is but a small place, a small hill, is it worth continuously investing in it?”

“The sun sets a long way from the hills, and the sky is high above Yuezhou, the crow of Yan sings in the clear sky; the land is firmly held.”

“What.. what does that mean… it sounds profound.”

“Isn’t it simple? Yuezhou is too far from Great Qin, it can’t be managed anymore. The farther from the emperor’s reach, the more it drags down the whole of Great Qin. With Great Yan looming, once the war front rises, Great Qin will have no energy to look after it, and it will just become a part of Great Yan’s stronghold.”

“Is that what it means!?”

“If not, then how else would you explain it?”

“When the war begins, swords clash; the people of Yuezhou, their tears dry; with men in front and fathers fighting, Great Qin far away, facing adversity alone; every home suffers, every house a funeral banner; flames rise, paper money burns; people are gone, only White Bone Mountain remains…”

The rhyme goes around, spreading throughout every corner of the city.

With the atmosphere being stirred up, a sense of panic quickly spreads throughout Yuezhou like a plague.

Countless people begin to hoard supplies, moving food, oil, salt, and others to their homes; countless merchants start to speculate and raise prices, then simply hang up “Sold Out” signs.

When the “Sold Out” signs become increasingly common, covering the whole of Yuezhou, the panic levels of the people start to reach a peak.

Some of the people, overcome by fear, start raiding stores, leading to riots…

Countless scholars start to ponder, start to think, then take up protest.

“This is Great Qin’s Yuezhou, with soldiers guarding it. Why should we abandon it?”
