Chapter 826

Jin Ling city imperial palace.

Li Er had just recovered from a serious illness.

Ever since the million taels of silver were sent across the river, indeed, no more tragedies occurred in Jin Ling city.

This time, it just gave the Cui family a hard time.

Because of the haunting at the Cui residence, Li Er also felt that he was being entangled by vengeful ghosts.

Psychologically, he had distanced himself a lot from the Cui family.

He felt that those dead ghosts of the Cui family were all disrespectful to the monarch, and even dared to harm him!

During his convalescence, Li Er was still worried about the peace talks with Great Qin.

Shocking the Great Tang court.

The envoy sent to deliver the silver was nowhere to be seen returning to report.

He didn't know if Great Qin would just let it go?

Li Er had been weak from illness these days, and his heart was full of fear toward Great Qin.

Finally.

The envoy sent to Jiangbei returned.

He only brought back one sentence.

"Great Qin replied, saying that within ten days, they will definitely withdraw their troops!"

The huge stone weighing on the hearts of the Great Tang monarch and ministers was finally moved aside a little, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. Only now, upon hearing the news that Great Qin was going to withdraw its troops, did Li Er suddenly remember another matter.

"My lords, is there any news about the war situation in Yelang?"

The Yelang battlefield was where Great Qin's main energy lay.

At the beginning, Great Tang wanted to use that war to drag Great Qin into the mud and limit Great Qin's development.

But heaven did not grant their wish; Great Tang's interference in Yelang was not successful.

Instead, it dragged itself down.

"Your Majesty, the Yelang army seems to have been defeated!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves!

For this period of time, the Great Tang monarch and ministers had been unable to take care of themselves.

They were made to feel insecure by the case of the night raid on the Cui residence.

After all, most of the people in the imperial court came from various aristocratic families, large and small. No one could be sure if Great Qin would take a knife to their families.

No one paid any attention to the Yelang battlefield at all.

Now, shocked to hear that Yelang was defeated, how could they not be shaken?

Li Er's heart gave a sudden jolt.

Although he had already anticipated this result, he still didn't want to believe it.

"Impossible, Yelang possesses so many powerful war elephants; how could they be defeated so quickly?"

Li Er didn't want to believe it also because only if the Harsha Empire dragged Great Qin down would his Great Tang have a chance to develop.

If he waited for Great Qin to free up its hands to deal with Great Tang specifically, he would be even more uncomfortable.
