Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Not long after, Xie Jingxing’s letter came.

In the letter, he talked about the situation in Ming Qi.

Emperor Wen Hui fell seriously ill and died, and the ninth prince, Fu Xiuyi, ascended the throne. As soon as Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, he was on good terms with the emperor of the State of Qin. The two countries launched an attack on the now declining Daliang Dynasty together. The other princes of Ming Qi, including Prince Zhou and Prince Jing, were all locked up in the prison. Fu Xiuyi had never been merciful to his family.

The Shen family and the Luo family joined forces with the other old families that had been suppressed by Emperor Wen Hui and openly rebelled. They were labeled as “outlaws” in Ming Qi, but the commoners did not seem to buy it. The Shen family had existed for many years with a good reputation and was not so easily defamed.

Xie Jingxing’s men were secretly contacting the Shen family. Before long, the Shen family would surrender and form an alliance with Xie Jingxing.

At the end of the letter, Xie Jingxing casually added something.

It was said that there was a romantic affair in the capital. A beauty entered the palace. She was the distant niece of an imperial merchant. She was as beautiful as a fairy, smart, and eloquent. The new emperor loved her like a gem and gave her the title Consort Mei. In a short period of time, her momentum far exceeded the other consorts in the harem.

Shen Miao closed the letter and smiled.

Luo Tan asked, “Cousin Miao, it’s just a letter. You’ve read it many times and even smiled from time to time.” Suddenly, she looked at the side. “Hey, why did that cat climb up so high?”

On the garden tree not far away, a black cat was climbing up. The higher it climbed, the thinner the branch became. The branches swayed and almost could not withstand the weight of the cat.

“The faster and higher you climb, the heavier the fall.” Shen Miao smiled.

Another half a year passed.

Once the war started, it was not so easy to stop. This war involving the three countries was even more so. There were winners and losers, and some retreated while some advanced. The State of Qin and Ming Qi were fighting this battle at all costs, so they invested especially much.

In comparison, the Daliang Dynasty’s soldiers seemed scarce.

However, even so, Ming Qi and the State of Qin still could not gain anything from the Daliang Dynasty. It was destined to be a seesaw battle. The Daliang Dynasty took an unhurried approach that slowly chipped away his enemies’ patience, causing them to fluster.

Especially recently.

In the previous battles, Ming Qi and the State of Qin had always managed to gain a little, especially at the beginning. Although the gains were not plenty, they could greatly boost morale. The soldiers were in high spirits.

In the end, the advantages of Ming Qi and the State of Qin became less obvious. Although they also had victories here and there, the overall situation was leaning towards the Daliang Dynasty.

It continued all the way to Youzhou.

Youzhou was located at the border of Ming Qi, the State of Qin, and the Daliang Dynasty. However, it had always been the territory of the State of Qin. As for why it was the territory of the State of Qin, it was a long story that traced back to the founding of the State of Qin. For so many generations, Youzhou had been standing steadily at the border, not because the Daliang Dynasty and Ming Qi had never been interested, but because its terrain was complicated. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they wanted to attack, they would probably have to go through a lot of trouble.

This piece of the cake was not easy to snatch..
