Chapter 1955 - 1959: War God’s Past
Boom!
Imperial City, Wuming Palace.
The massive True Qi spreads out, and deep within Wuming Palace, a courtyard collapses halfway under the strike of True Qi!
In the past, any unusual movement of True Qi within Wuming Palace would have brought a swarm of guards.
But now, even with half the courtyard collapsed, no one dares to utter a word.
It was none other than the Fourth Prince who caused the collapse.
The Fourth Prince and Jiang Wushuang stand in Wuming Palace.
Jiang Wushuang has just reported the West State battle to the Fourth Prince, who learns that the whole West State has once again fallen into Qin Tian’s hands and directly acts in fury, causing the courtyard to explode.
Suppressing his boundless anger, the Fourth Prince asks Jiang Wushuang, "Does the War God know about this news?"
Jiang Wushuang replies, "Zhou Wushuang is War God’s man, War God knows this news."
"Heh, I thought Zhou Wushuang had some strength, turns out not much, indeed the gap with the War God is so huge!"
The Fourth Prince takes a deep breath, his face showing an angry yet insidious smile, "I never wanted Zhou Wushuang to necessarily defeat Qin Tian. He just needed to use twenty thousand men to hold Qin Tian off for me... Haha, it seems both I and the War God trusted him too much."
Boom!
As he speaks, the Fourth Prince unleashes his True Qi, and with another punch, blows a huge hole in the wall!
"But, twenty thousand men, whether they can hold or not, can fight to death! Can escape! Why surrender?!"
The Fourth Prince is most furious that the West State Army surrendered to Qin Tian, "Tens of thousands surrendered, strengthening Qin Tian’s power, hhm, this fellow has become even more difficult to deal with!"
Jiang Wushuang stands beside, slightly closing his eyes, "Looks like the last battle in Jiang State, War God still didn’t inflict a big enough blow to Qin Tian, Qin Tian recovered so quickly."
"Your Highness, what I find most bizarre is that His Majesty over there ignores Qin Tian’s matters, never announced the revocation of Qin Tian’s title, removal of Qin Tian’s position, or declared Qin Tian as a rebel!"
The Fourth Prince gets even angrier hearing about this, "You know I already united with many ministers to submit proposals about this over a dozen times, yet Father always turns a blind eye... Hhm, I understand his intention, it’s to let Qin Tian restrain me! His goal is achieved!"
"But Your Majesty is Your Highness’s father... does he really not trust you..." Jiang Wushuang hesitates to speak further.
The Fourth Prince replies, "The Ninth Prince and Crown Prince are examples, my Father possesses endless longevity, how would he easily hand over power? He just wants to play balance in the Wang Chao, hhm, I already know his goal!"
Saying this, the Fourth Prince turns his head to ask Jiang Wushuang, "The War God, is he... at the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Jiang Wushuang nods.
The Fourth Prince takes a deep breath, "Let’s go to the Imperial Mausoleum."
Tianyuan Dynasty’s Imperial Mausoleum covers over ten thousand square kilometers, located at the Northern City feng shui treasure land, any non-Royal Family member is not allowed to approach without authorization.
However, there are exceptions to this rule, War God has been tacitly permitted, able to access the Outer Mausoleum of the Imperial Mausoleum freely.
The Imperial Mausoleum is divided into Outer Mausoleum and Inner Mausoleum, Inner Mausoleum exclusively for the Emperor, Outer Mausoleum for burying Royal Family, Concubines and some nobles and ministers with extraordinary merit.
At this moment, War God, dressed in white casual clothes, over a hundred years old, maintains a heroic look, giving an impression of a legendary figure, high and mighty.
War God stands before a huge tomb, no guards around, standing alone, silently, without saying a word.
From a distance, the Fourth Prince and Jiang Wushuang slowly approach, the Fourth Prince gesturing Jiang Wushuang to stand afar, himself approaching the tomb alone.
Both look at the tomb in front, at the blank epitaph without a single word, silent.
A gentle breeze blows, a long time passes, War God speaks, "Your Highness, when your mother passed, she was hated by the Royal Family, so the epitaph was not allowed to have any words. Now that you hold great power, have you considered erecting a new epitaph for your mother?"
The Fourth Prince replies, "I have thought about it, but Father would definitely not allow it, those elder ancestors of the Royal Family would also obstruct, there’s nothing I can do... unless one day I completely control the Tianyuan Dynasty."
Hearing the latter part of the Fourth Prince’s words, War God moves his lips, "It will happen."
He slowly scans the tomb ahead, simpler compared to surrounding tombs, like immersed in past memories, "The biggest regret of my life is missing the person I loved. Hahaha..."
Laughter filled with helplessness and remorse, War God looks up at the sky, this hero of a generation, shedding old tears.
The Fourth Prince calmly says, "Yes, my mother is also."
Hearing this, War God’s eyes close tightly, his cheeks twitching slightly.
"I once swore to remain faithful all my life. I fulfilled my vow, never married, wholeheartedly. Hope from above, you’ll feel my devotion to you!"
Eyes open, War God unwilling to show anyone his vulnerable side, turns away, then turns around, directly leaving.
The Fourth Prince watches War God’s back, "War God, West State has already fallen, Qin Tian once again controls West State."
"First stabilize the overall situation, once that’s set, Qin Tian will naturally disappear!"
War God’s magnificent back has already gone far, from a distance, his voice with a tender side reaches, "Xuan Ye, say happy birthday to your mother for me."
...
West State, West Capital City.
After capturing West Capital City, Qin Tian’s army further sweeps the entire West State within half a month.
Qin Tian’s forces are now stronger than before, suddenly increased to five hundred thousand!
"This time, I want to see whether War God will come again, I’m waiting for him in West Capital City!"
At this moment, Qin Tian is pleased at the celebratory conference in West Capital City.
"General Xu Kuan, General Che Aijun, you both continue to lead twenty thousand troops, station at Yueya City. Yueya City is a major city on the throat from Imperial City to West Capital City, last time we were breached at Yueya City by War God, this time, I hope you learn the lesson, help me defend well!"
Xu Kuan and Che Aijun stand up, directly bowing to take orders, saying in unison, "We accept the order! We will learn from the past, devoted to duty, never let a single enemy step beyond Yueya City!"
Qin Tian nods, then commands again, "Zuo Yuanhao military advisor, Zhao Lanjin general, I have an important task for you."
Zuo Yuanhao and Zhao Lanjin stand ready to take orders.
Qin Tian smiles lightly but decisively, "North State, who has been harassing us and profiting from the fire, now, it’s time to settle scores with them!"
