670: Chapter 612 – The North Wind is Coming!_2 670: Chapter 612 – The North Wind is Coming!_2 This appellation mainly ca about after Zhang San started using it, and then Big Head Wang and Wang Ziteng just followed suit.
But everyone also knew about the matters between Princess Qionghua and Wang Junwu, so they later disregarded these formalities.
“It’s not any secret mission, just looking for a place to properly cultivate and improve.”
Hearing this, Qionghua grew even more curious.
“What realm are Sister Ling and Big Sister at now?”
Ling whispered, “I had previously reshaped Yin and Yang, and under Big Sister’s guidance, I am now not far from the Purple Mansion Realm.”
Princess Qionghua, with a delighted face, said, “That’s amazing!
Being in the Purple Mansion Realm ans you are already a formidable figure.”
Third Miss Gan almost wanted to say that the Purple Mansion Realm was not that hard to kill, but then thought it unnecessary to discuss cultivation with soone like Princess Qionghua, who didn’t understand it.
“By the way, when will Wang Junwu and the others be back?”
Yang Lihua seed to have realized that Qionghua wasn’t actually interested in other people’s cultivation levels but was just looking for a topic to eventually circle back to when Wang Junwu and the others would return.
She didn’t even need to use Zhang San as an excuse anymore; she wasn’t pretending at all.
“The Longyun Path great battle was a complete victory for our Great Sui.
Empress Dugu went to visit Kaihuang, and the returning army will definitely take into account Kaihuang’s health, although slow, if we calculate the days, it shouldn’t be much longer.”
After escorting Yang Lihua and Princess Qionghua to their residence, Third Miss Gan and Ling returned to their own abode.
Naturally, this abode was Zhang San’s mansion.
After all, with Zhang San not at ho, the spacious mansion could only accommodate everyone living together.
As the two just entered, Hu ca over and asked, “What are we eating tonight?”
Ling glanced at Hu and then took out a deer she had casually hunted during her morning practice outside the city from her Storage Ring.
Hu called the Ghosts over excitedly, ready to start cooking.
anwhile, Wei, who was in the yard hearing that cooking was about to start, imdiately shouted, “Xu, it’s ti to cook!
Those Ghosts aren’t good cooks, let do it.
I am good at it!”
While drinking tea, Xu looked at Wei, who he had hung from a tree, sighed deeply, and said seriously, “Everything you say is useless, if you can’t reverse the flow of Qi today and use the Qi to draw the Runes, you won’t eat.”
At that mont, Wei, who was hung upside down from the tree, was speechless.
Originally, he thought that after Zhang San and the others left, it would be good for them to idle around in the Capital.
But as a result, Ling, following Third Miss Gan, continually enhanced her own strength by practicing.
Wang Ziteng was going sowhere every day to cultivate; his realm’s progress was slow, but his combat prowess soared.
White Shadow, following Li Moxian, beca a registered disciple of Li Moxian and also made significant strides in strength.
Even Xu was experinting with how to strengthen the powers of the Path of Life and Death under the suppression of the Imperial Path.
Well, you work hard, and Hu and I are happy every day entering retirent mode!
The most beautiful pursuit in life is not retirent and relaxation?
Unfortunately, since Xu was making progress, he had to drag Wei along with him.
So Wei was being trained by Xu every day.
Indeed, during this ti, Wei’s strength had notably improved; he even felt that if he wanted, he could enter the realm of Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity at any ti.
But he didn’t want to!
I am quite content being just at the True Core Blossoming stage; why must I progress?
Cultivation is so tiring!
At this mont, White Shadow also returned.
“Big Sister, this docunt is from the Chief, who told to give it to you.
He said to burn it after reading.”
Hearing the last four words, Third Miss Gan glanced at Ling next to her; both of their expressions instantly sharpened.
The two imdiately took the items and went into the room.
At this ti, Xu asked the three girls, “Do you need any help with any trouble?”
Third Miss Gan looked at Xu, knowing that he was a kind-hearted person who wasn’t afraid of trouble.
But this ti, the issue might really be big trouble.
“Xu, you just keep training Wei.
So troubles, actually, are really big.”
“Since we all live under the sa roof, aren’t your troubles our troubles too?”
Xu said, raising his hand, he lowered Wei, who had been hung upside down from a tree.
Wei had never imagined that being let down would be due to his family encountering other troubles.
“We’re all family here.
Just speak directly if there’s anything.
If I can help, I’ll naturally help.
If not, I’ll help you think of a way out!”
Hearing Wei’s words, everyone laughed.
After all, everyone knew about Wei’s skill in escaping.
So, Third Miss Gan raised her hand, and everyone entered the room.
Even Hu, who had just delivered a deer to the kitchen, stepped inside.
“Hu, do you also want to participate in our troubles?”
Wei looked at Hu with a smile.
Hu snorted coldly.
“The wisdom of you humans is still too shallow.
When necessary, you need to guide you.
Now, what’s the trouble?”
Seeing everyone so resolute, Third Miss Gan took out a scroll in front of everyone and read the content aloud.
As Third Miss Gan spoke, Wei’s face was the first to change.
In the past, during Kaihuang’s ascension, he beca the founding Emperor of Great Sui as a forr minister of Northern Zhou.
Though he also played the ga of abdication, who couldn’t see that this was usurpation?
Only then, Yang Jian was capable and resourceful, plus the Yuwen Imperial Clan’s bloodline had been almost annihilated.
The forr ministers had no one to pledge loyalty to; how could they not submit to Yang Jian?
Afterward, a great war erupted along Longyun Path, aiming to take advantage of the succession turmoil of Northern Zhou to dominate Longyun Path.
For Kaihuang to solidify his royal authority, he naturally had to win this war.
At this ti, what was needed besides reliable generals, were people who could represent Yang Jian and achieve military rits on the battlefield.
But Yang Jian himself ca to power through usurpation; how many could he truly trust?
Ultimately, it was decided to let Crown Prince Yang Ce lead the troops to the battlefield of Longyun Path.
However, for the militarily inexperienced Crown Prince Yang Ce, to ensure victory in this battle, he decided to use the strategy of sacrificing pawns to save the chariot, deliberately sacrificing a portion of the troops and civilians for overall victory.
But upon first arriving at Longyun Path, Crown Prince Yang Ce did not know what he was sacrificing, nor did he know that later, this matter was reported to Kaihuang, causing much embarrassnt to the emperor.
Though the war was won, the victory was not honorable.
Because there were many ways to win at the ti, but Yang Ce, misguided by trusted advice, led two loyal and formidable armies to die amid the enemy’s encirclent.
But Kaihuang could not execute the Crown Prince he had established.
So he could only try to mitigate the impact of this matter.
As a result, although they won the battle and there were rewards, it was not broadly publicized; even many of the common people just knew that Great Sui had won.
But how it was exactly fought remained unclear.
And in the records of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household, many critical pieces of information were deliberately erased, so even if soone in the future were to investigate what exactly took place, they would not discover that the Crown Prince was behind it all.
After all, this matter not only had a significant impact on Kaihuang at the ti, but more importantly, it affected the future ascension of the Crown Prince.
If one day, Kaihuang passed away and the Crown Prince ascended,
ask yourself, who can respect an emperor who listens to the words of trusted subordinates and causes the deaths of other ministers who are disliked by these confidants?
Who would want to follow such an emperor?
At this mont, everyone present understood why in the later war of annihilating Southern Chen, despite the significant rits earned, the leader was not Crown Prince Yang Ce but King Jin Yang Quan.
Because the Crown Prince had already ssed up once before.
Ling, knowing this, couldn’t help but scoff, “It seems we are truly fated with this Crown Prince.”
At this mont, Wei snorted coldly, “It’s not just fate.
When a Censor discovered this matter and openly questioned Kaihuang in the Imperial Court, do you know what happened to him?”
“His entire household was executed!”
Wei coldly uttered these four words, sending a chill through Xu standing by.
“This Crown Prince must die!”
