Chapter 947

~6 min read 1,188 words

As soon as the two words left his mouth, the originally noisy Lanchi Palace fell silent.

The ministers all stood still without a word, waiting for Ying Zheng to speak.

"Han Ji is indeed important! But what the Prime Minister said is not wrong!

To go to war with the Great Yuan for the sake of a woman is indeed disadvantageous."

The generals, led by Wang Dugu Jian, showed disappointed expressions upon hearing this.

After all, if they didn't take Han Ji, there would be no war, and the opportunities to perform meritorious deeds would naturally be much fewer.

"However..."

Ying Zheng suddenly smiled, changed the subject, and said:

"What kind of person do you think this Ogedei is?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials couldn't help but look at each other.

Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard Ying Zheng's words, and he thought of something.

Just as he was about to speak, Wei Liao was the first to say:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Except for Li Si, the ministers didn't understand why Wei Liao said this.

Wei Liao smiled calmly and continued to explain:

"Since Ogedei ascended the throne, he has used various means to suppress and squeeze out his three biological brothers.

Although it is said that one cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed,

Ogedei's various actions all show that this person's capacity is extremely narrow."

Upon hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Although if it were them sitting in Ogedei's position, they would also take some measures against competitive rivals.

But they wouldn't go as far as Ogedei.

Based on this, it can indeed be said that Ogedei's capacity is insufficient and he lacks the ability to tolerate others.

But what does this have to do with Your Majesty being wise?

Seeing that most people still didn't understand, Wei Liao continued with a smile:

"Even we in the Great Qin feel like we want to immediately take Han Ji for ourselves when we see her.

For this reason, General Wang Dugu Jian and others are even willing to go to war with the Great Yuan at all costs.

Then what do you think, if this were Ogedei?"

"High! Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers suddenly realized.

They all praised Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne above the cinnabar steps.

"Enough, enough!"

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said:

"Let's leave it at this for now!

If Ogedei forces Prince Prince Ruyang Old Chahan, then our opportunity will come.

If he doesn't force him, then you 'make him force him'!"

"By your command!"

This last part was naturally an instruction given to Li Si, Wei Liao, and Zhao Gao.

The strategy of sowing discord is one of the strategies that the Black Ice Terrace and the Net are best at.

"And that Miss Duanmu Rong?"

After Zhao Gao received the order, he brought up the last person on the ranking this time.

This person happens to have some connection with the Great Qin and is currently within the territory of the Great Qin.

Miss Duanmu Rong, the only living successor of the Medical School!

But she happens to hate the Great Qin Imperial Court the most!

And Gai Nie, whom she saved, is the Chief Swordsman of the Great Qin Imperial Court!

This tangled and messy relationship is indeed difficult to handle.

After all, Ying Zheng's relationship with Gai Nie is actually quite good.

"Hmm..."

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to Zhao Gao:

"Summon Master Gai to come. I will have a private chat with him."

Back when he hadn't yet ascended the throne of the Qin Emperor, Gai Nie followed by Ying Zheng's side.

Not only did he teach Ying Zheng martial arts and swordsmanship, but he also saved Ying Zheng's life several times.

Therefore, even though Gai Nie's strength is currently insufficient, Ying Zheng still appointed him as the Chief Swordsman of the Imperial Court.

He also addressed Gai Nie with the extremely respectful title of "Master"!

This can be said to be unique in the entire Great Qin Imperial Court.

Gai Nie comes from the Ghost Valley School and is also known as a Vertical and Horizontal Strategist.

Each generation of Vertical and Horizontal Strategists has only two disciples, one vertical and one horizontal.

One learns the vertical sword, whose highest mystery is the Hundred-Step Flying Sword.

One learns the horizontal sword, whose highest mystery is the Horizontal Penetration of Eight Directions.

The two disciples learn swordsmanship and arts together when they are young.

After they grow up, they have to fight each other.

In each generation of disciples, only one can survive and inherit the title of Ghost Valley Master.

That Wang Xu, who was scared out of his wits by Ximen Ximen Wudi back then, was the contemporary Ghost Valley Master and also the master of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

Since entering the world, Gai Nie has joined Ying Zheng's command.

He has gone through fire and water for Ying Zheng many times, only then earning the title of Chief Swordsman.

Seeing Miss Duanmu Rong on the ranking this time, he couldn't help but feel a trance.

He vaguely remembered that years ago, he and his junior brother Wei Zhuang were ordered by their master to investigate a bizarre case.

Finally, the mastermind behind the scenes appeared.

At that time, neither of them had learned the highest mysteries, and even if they joined forces to fight the enemy, they still fell into a disadvantage.

Seriously injured and dying, they ran around blindly.

Somehow, they arrived at the Mirror Lake Medical Manor.

While seriously injured and unconscious, he sensed a woman carefully taking care of him.

At that time, he thought this woman was a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Although he never saw the woman's face clearly due to his serious injuries,

her every smile and frown had already been engraved in his mind.

Later, when he woke up, he had already left Mirror Lake.

He didn't know if he would ever see this fairy-like woman again.

Now, after the revelation of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, he learned that this woman was actually Miss Duanmu Rong, the only living successor of the Medical School.

Just as he had the thought of wanting to find her,

he saw her introduction, saying she disliked the Great Qin Imperial Court and disliked those who practiced swordsmanship even more.

His heart couldn't help but feel quite gloomy.

Just as he was thinking hard, he saw the Qin Emperor's personal eunuch coming.

His heart stirred, and he already understood what Ying Zheng meant.

Without waiting for the eunuch to say anything, he tidied himself up and prepared to follow him.

"Master Gai not only has outstanding swordsmanship but is also born with a delicate and transparent heart.

No wonder among so many talented swordsmen, only Master Gai has deeply won the Emperor's heart."

Seeing this, the eunuch praised him half-flatteringly and half-sincerely.

"Eunuch, you overpraise me."
