My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 569 - 200 Decision_5

The Daqing Empress praised, "It seems sister is getting more and more adept at handling political affairs."

With the warfare in Sheng Country being so intense,

there might be a delay,

but nonetheless, Qing Country would still receive some intelligence reports, more or less.

"Gui Ti, have you helped Brother Shi?"

Gu Xinlan asked, "He's alone; don't let anything happen to him."

"Why should I help him?"

When the Empress entered the hall, she saw a baby learning to walk on a deer-skin rug.

"Auntie, Auntie Mu~"

The baby called out indistinctly.

"You mortal, all you know is to laugh foolishly every day."

The Empress swept past the baby and walked towards the desk.

"Gui Ti?!"

Gu Xinlan said somewhat angrily, "If you really can't handle the dangers at Yin Mountain, sister naturally won't force you to take the risk. After all, he is my man, not yours. But I clearly saw the red light in the direction of Liangzhou fade away, signaling that the great danger has been resolved. If you can't even help in such a situation, it shows you've truly become heartless from cultivating."

"Sister, you actually blame me because of him?"

The Empress's cheeks turned even colder, "Rest assured, he's not dead."

"Really?"

Gu Xinlan, realizing she spoke hastily, quickly grabbed her sister's hand, "Gui Ti, I'm truly worried about you. Ever since we met this time, you've seemed different, and I fear one day you won't even recognize your own sister."

"Sister, as cultivators, we must seal our worldly desires; otherwise, we may face inner demons during breakthroughs. You wouldn't understand these things," the Empress said, holding her sister's slender hand.

"That Chen Sansi, you don't have to worry about him. He has made significant contributions and won't die in the Great Desert. If he must die, it will be in Beiliang."

"Earning merits and still having to die?"

Gu Xinlan was somewhat puzzled, "What kind of reasoning is that?"

"Merits arousing the sovereign's envy."

The Empress explained calmly, "The Old Emperor of Sheng Country is suspicious and narrow-minded. He can't tolerate sealed border governors who are truly capable and possess the people's hearts. After finally getting rid of Sun Xiangzong, another disciple of Sun Xiangzong arises. How could he sleep peacefully?"

"Is the Emperor of Sheng Country really that malicious?"

Gu Xinlan, unaware of the detailed situation, asked, "What should we do then?"

"Simple."

The Empress spoke serenely, "You write him a letter calling him to Daqing, to become my Daqing's Prince Consort. This way, we can be reunited as a family and he can enjoy wealth and prestige. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

"I'm afraid Brother Shi might not be willing..."

...

The Great Desert.

The Barbarian Capital.

"My lord!"

"The brothers are all ready, they can start heading back to Liangzhou at any time."

"You all go ahead first."

After giving the order, Chen Sansi turned his head to look at the two people in front of him.

Great Khan Yuwen Jinglian of the Yuwen Tribe, and Prince Yu Wenxin.

With Chen Sansi's arrangement,

supporting the Yuwen Tribe, helping them occupy new territories,

and then made the Great Khan abdicate, allowing Prince Yu Wenxin to take his place, while conveniently getting rid of a few dissatisfied brothers and uncles.

"Do well."

Chen Sansi patted his shoulder, "I'm waiting for you to come back and seek revenge on me."

"Alright, you just wait!"

Prince Yu Wenxin vowed earnestly, "In ten, no, twenty years, I'll come back to Beiliang to find you!"

Chen Sansi didn't linger; after leaving the Great Capital City, he mounted his White Swan Horse and disappeared into the edge of the Southern Desert in a few breaths' time.

"Alas..."

Yuwen Jinglian watched the white robe disappear into the distance before he finally let out a sigh and dared to sit down weakly.

This time,

the losses suffered by all their tribes were far too heavy.

"Father!"

Prince Yu Wenxin comforted, "You needn't feel sad. I'll keep my word. Within twenty years, I will definitely lead the warriors of the Heavenly Clan back to Beiliang and capture the White Robe alive!"

"No, you must never do that!"

Yuwen Jinglian paled with fright, "My son, now that our Yuwen Tribe has gained considerable benefits and you have taken the position of Great Khan, in this life, we should simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Never think of challenging Beiliang, otherwise, our Yuwen Tribe may not even be able to keep its current status!"

"Father, what do you mean? I admit, I am not strong enough now."

Yu Wenxin retorted, "But is there no possibility that I couldn't rise to power later and come to greatness in the end?"

"There is no such possibility!"

Yuwen Jinglian blurted out.

...

After leaving the Barbarian Capital,

Hongze Camp marched south in haste, heading back to Beiliang.

There were far too many fallen comrades,

and it was impossible to take them all back.

As they journeyed back, if they encountered any, General Chen would personally lead the men to find a decent place nearby to bury and erect a tombstone for every one of them, each with their own name and surname.

On the returning journey, snowflakes began to drift over the desert.

But this snowfall was natural.

Along the way,

they passed the Agate River.

"On the way back, we can specifically dispatch a few thousand men to station here."

Wang Zhi looked at the vast grassland, "This area's grassland is extremely fertile; even a significant portion of the barbarian's warhorses come from here. From now on, Beiliang will no longer lack horses."

"Yes, it's all been exchanged by the brothers," Chen Sansi said, "Let's pick up the pace. We won't make it back for the new year, but let's see if we can make it in time for the Lantern Festival."

...

Twenty-five days later.

The gates of Liangzhou City.

Tens of thousands of citizens welcomed them outside the city.

They had already been informed.

The demons that harassed Liangzhou,

were all driven away by that Chen Sansi, General Chen, leading the Hongze Camp!

It was General Chen and the Hongze Camp who saved them, who saved the millions of people in and around Liangzhou!

To them, he was like their deity!

"If I'm not mistaken, this General Chen is the closed-door disciple of Supervisor Sun, isn't he?"
