Chapter 219

What worried Fang Xuanling even more was the trade in Jiannan Dao.

Li Er ordered him to handle this matter entirely.

Fang Xuanling was also full of fighting spirit, hoping that by trading books, he could help Li Er's reforms in the court achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But he hadn't even figured out a clue yet, and war was about to start again.

Once war breaks out.

Wouldn't the trade between Great Qin and the Great Tang vanish into thin air?

Furthermore.

How did the Emperor know about the matter between the thirty-six Western Regions nations and Qin Mu so quickly?

The Western Regions and the Great Tang are separated by ten thousand miles!

"It was Guanyinbi who had someone bring back a letter, which recorded in detail everything that happened to Qin Mu recently."

"Xuanling, do you know? Long before we left Tibet, the rulers of the thirty-six Western Regions nations had already set off for the Budalagong."

"Qin Mu held a grand banquet in the palace to entertain the rulers of the thirty-six nations, and made Jieli, Fuyun, and Songzan Ganbu perform the 'Qin Wang Breaking the Formation Dance' in public."

"Hmph! No wonder he wanted to keep Jieli and Fuyun alive and make you teach them the 'Qin Wang Breaking the Formation Dance'; it turns out the purpose was here!"

Thinking of this, Li Er trembled with anger.

From beginning to end.

Qin Mu had calculated everything.

Poor me and Fang Xuanling were still trying our best to help him choreograph the 'Qin Wang Breaking the Formation Dance', like clowns being played in the palm of his hand.

Truly hateful!

"Your Majesty, what happened later?"

Fang Xuanling asked impatiently.

Li Er let out a long sigh and continued:

"Fuyun, in a fit of anger, wanted to perish with Qin Mu, but was split in two by a eunuch named Wei Zhongxian beside Qin Mu, dying on the spot."

"The rulers of the thirty-six Western Regions nations were scared out of their wits on the spot, and at this moment, Qin Mu revealed his true colors, forcing the thirty-six Western Regions nations to sever ties with the Great Tang and become their suzerain state."

Fang Xuanling's expression was also extremely grave.

Kindness and force combined!

Truly a good method!

First, hold a grand banquet, entertain them well, and then demonstrate national power, making the three heroes of the world act like performers.

Even the Turkic Khan Jieli, who traversed the world, and the Tibetan ruler Songzan Ganbu, who was talented and strategic, ended up in such a state.

One can imagine.

What kind of mood the rulers of the thirty-six Western Regions nations were in at that time.

Fear?

Terror?

Perhaps both!

"He is still the same as before; no, even more ruthless and absolute than his past methods!"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.

"Yes!"

"This letter was brought back by Guanyinbi at his request."

"Xuanling, do you know what this means?"

Li Er nodded silently, his face showing no expression.

"His meaning is to clearly tell us, the Great Tang, that he will absolutely not let us go! Not only will he not let us go, but from this moment on, he has already begun to attack the Great Tang!"

"It's just that the way of attacking is far more cruel and ruthless than on the battlefield! He wants to isolate our Great Tang completely, making us like a fish in a pond!"

"And he is slowly closing in on the shore, forcing us into a dead end, forcing us to bow our heads to him!"

"By that time, he won't even need to send a single soldier to conquer our entire Great Tang empire!"

Fang Xuanling became more excited as he spoke, his breathing becoming rapid.

Frustrated!

Unprecedented frustration!

Knowing exactly how Qin Mu deals with the Great Tang, yet having no way to counter it.

Can only watch him grow stronger and stronger.

What's even more terrifying is that Qin Mu has never been sneaky from beginning to end.

Whatever he does, he tells the Great Tang openly.

This is what makes it most unacceptable!

Most frustrating!

People are playing with their cards face up, yet we still can't beat them!

The gap in strength between the two sides is simply too large.

"Xuanling, our time is running out."

"The reason Qin Mu hasn't sent troops to attack us yet is that he knows very well in his heart,"

"With his current military strength and hard power, wanting to swallow the Great Tang in one bite is a pipe dream, and it might even"

"invite disaster and cause chaos in the world."

"But he is constantly accumulating strength! When he has enough power, that will be the time for our Great Tang's destruction." Li Er's expression was unprecedentedly grave, and there was unprecedented fear in his heart.
