Chapter 1394: Long Story Short, Generals Bewildered

Ying Ying Zi Ye was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He had not expected Meng Tian's curiosity to be so intense.

It appeared that it was not just Meng Tian; everyone present was extremely curious.

"This matter is somewhat complex."

"Since you are all so interested, then this Prince shall make a long story short."

The generals' spirits were stirred—there was actually a chance!

They had not expected His Highness to actually tell them about this matter.

At this moment—

All the generals in the camp were gazing longingly at the Crown Prince.

Their hearts were itching, and they were desperate to know what had happened.

"We obtained an Immortal artifact and suddenly appeared here."

"We will be returning to Lishan shortly, and we will suddenly return just the same."

Ying Ying Zi Ye spoke with a smile, then fell silent.

The soldiers stared blankly.

Wasn't he going to make a long story short?

That was it?

It was over?

This was making a long story short?

Wasn't this too short?

What kind of Immortal artifact was so powerful?

Suddenly appeared here?

And could suddenly return just like that?

This was so confusing they couldn't understand a word of it.

The generals looked at one another in dismay.

They felt His Highness was spouting nonsense, even less reliable than His Majesty.

What was all this?

They couldn't understand it at all.

What on earth was he talking about?

"Did you understand?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew they hadn't understood a thing.

It was quite difficult for him to explain these matters clearly.

The generals shook their heads in unison.

"Whether you understand is not important."

"You will understand when we leave in a moment."

"I came here today because there are some matters I need from you."

Ying Ying Zi Ye thought of the system upgrade.

Now, the affairs of the northern border could be considered complete.

Modu had led his remnants and defeated troops far away into the Western Regions.

As long as the Qin Ruishi guarded the Yumen Pass, Modu and his forces would not be able to return for the time being.

Once things were completely stabilized, the Western Regions would also be taken by Great Qin.

The Western Regions would also be incorporated into the territory of Great Qin, so there was no need to rush this.

Now that the situation at Yumen Pass was mostly settled, there was no need for so many people to remain here.

A batch of men could be dispatched back to Great Qin to deal with the unknown crises to come.

This was precisely the reason they had come here this time.

Once they notified Meng Tian, they could return.

"Your Highness, I wonder what matter you have for us?"

Meng Tian was somewhat surprised; had something happened in Great Qin?

If there was a matter, couldn't a soldier have been sent to notify them?

Why had he come in person?

"How much longer until your work here is finished?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not mention the matter, instead asking about the work here.

"It should be finished in a few more days."

Meng Tian pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"That is perfect."

"There is a matter that requires you to do it."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Meng Tian; he had truly arrived at the right time.

"Please, Your Highness, give your orders!"

Meng Tian performed a salute, waiting for the next instruction.

"This Yumen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack; there is no need for so many people to remain here."

"Leave fifty thousand men here to guard Yumen Pass, and the remaining men shall begin returning to Great Qin starting today."

"Return to Lishan to report; Great Qin needs you."

Ying Ying Zi Ye's words caused the generals' bodies to tremble.

They were all speculating whether something had happened in Great Qin.

Why was there such an urgent need to send men back?

"Your Highness, has something happened?"

Meng Tian was puzzled; why were they being summoned back so suddenly?

"This matter is difficult to explain all at once; it cannot be considered an incident for the time being."

"Once you lead the men back, perhaps you will encounter something later."

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not know how to put it; to say something had happened would be untrue, yet it was not as if nothing had happened.

To say nothing had happened would also be untrue; it was merely a question of time.

Meng Tian was completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

But since His Highness had given the order, he would simply follow it.

In any case, the work here was almost finished, so it was acceptable to let the main army withdraw.

Yumen Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack; even with fifty thousand soldiers guarding it, there would be no problems.

He had also inspected the surrounding environment and thought it best to build some of the Great Wall there.

But now that Great Qin needed manpower, that construction would have to be shelved for now.

"Your Highness, this general will arrange it immediately."

"Once everything is properly arranged, I will immediately arrange for the men to begin returning."

Meng Tian was somewhat confused, but he could only execute the order.

"Very good."

"Each of you, drip a bit of blood onto the map."

"This Prince naturally has a use for it."

Ying Ying Zi Ye took out the formation map.

Since he was already here, it would be good to collect some blood in preparation for any unforeseen needs.

"Your Highness, what is this…"

A general wanted to ask, not knowing what His Highness intended to do. ===== CHAPTER 1396 =====
