“Your Majesty, this battle, your old servant......”
Fu Ling and Feng Qing Heng, naturally, did not intend to miss this earth-shattering battle.
However, before the two of them could finish their sentences.
They were interrupted by Xiao He’s laughter: “Two esteemed officials, don’t be hasty, His Majesty has other matters for you to attend to.”
The two of them were taken aback upon hearing this.
They couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret and stopped speaking.
However, they immediately said: “Whatever His Majesty commands.”
Qin Zheng, at this time.
Turned his gaze towards the two of them, and the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Works.
Amidst their respectful anticipation.
He spoke in a deep voice: “These next few days, you few are to personally select a group of talented individuals, draft a memorial and present it to me. After the Black Ice Platform has completed their investigation, let those who remain stand by in Xianyang.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
The several ministers all looked at each other, their faces revealing a hint of confusion.
They didn't understand what His Majesty was up to.
Although the several ministers were puzzled, they dared not ask, and could only turn their gazes to Feng Qing Heng and Fu Ling, the two old officials, hinting for them to inquire.
“Your Majesty.”
Without them needing to hint.
Feng Qing Heng spoke up and inquired: “May I ask, how does Your Majesty intend to utilize this group of talented individuals? How many do you need, and how many days do we have to complete the task?”
“The more, the better, naturally.”
After hearing this, Qin Zheng pondered for a moment before saying: “As for time, ten days will suffice.”
“Understood.”
Seeing that His Majesty didn’t specify what he intended to use this group of talented individuals for.
Feng Qing Heng tactfully refrained from asking further.
However.
Although Qin Zheng didn’t say anything, Fu Ling on the side, still thought of something.
He was instantly shocked to the core.
He couldn’t believe it as he muttered to himself: “The battle hasn’t even started yet, and His Majesty is already considering dispatching people to take over the territories of the three great empires?”
With the war imminent.
His Majesty was ordering them to select a large number of talented individuals from within the court to stand by.
And after their selection.
The Black Ice Platform would investigate each of them. Apart from preparing for this matter.
Fu Ling couldn't think of anything else that would require such a massive operation.
“As expected of His Majesty.”
After a heartfelt sigh, a hint of excitement flashed across Fu Ling’s face.
Perhaps.
That was really possible.
“Hiss...”
Simultaneously, Feng Qing Heng on the side.
Also realized what was going on, his eyes filled with shock as he gasped in astonishment.
Only the four department ministers remained.
They were still confused, clueless.
“Xiao He.”
Amidst their confusion.
Qin Zheng turned his gaze to Xiao He and the other two, his brows slightly furrowed: “Once the battle begins, you three will also be going on a journey.”
After all.
In this battle, the four forces were putting everything on the line, just in terms of the visible Quasi-Emperors, eighteen had already stepped forth.
In secret, there were four more Quasi-Emperor peak existences lurking in the shadows.
The number of Saint King realm existences, was close to sixty, a truly terrifying number.
Although he had summoned the civil and military officials, who had transcended time and space.
As well as the ordinary soldiers.
All of them were capable of being invincible at their respective levels, possessing unparalleled combat power, surpassing all others, but facing such a massive number of strong individuals, it was still best to be cautious and avoid any mishaps.
“Understood.”
Upon hearing this, the three of them all respectfully responded.
Afterward.
Qin Zheng then discussed with Xiao He and the others about how to.
In the shortest amount of time possible.
Wipe out the three great empires and the Taixu Holy Land, after the battle was over.
After a round of discussions.
Everyone then retreated, one after the other.
______
At the same time.
In the Eastern Region, countless billions of miles away from the Xuan Region, a distant and vast land.
The Great Qian Empire.
The Imperial City.
Within the Imperial Palace.
The Great Qian Emperor, clad in dragon robes, his gaze deep as an abyss, imperial might radiating from his body, his aura resembling that of an ancient Emperor.
At a glance, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of submission.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm three thousand years ago, his might shaking the entire Eastern Region.
As for now.
Whether he had taken that final step, no one knew for sure.
At this moment.
The Great Qian Emperor was seated in a pavilion.
Facing his Prime Minister, Yu Zhi Wen. On the stone table, there was a chessboard carved from jade.
They were clearly playing chess.
On the chessboard, the situation was unpredictable.
Hidden within it were the profound principles of heaven and earth.
Vaguely, there was a faint flow of Daoist energy.
‘啪’
Looking at the chessboard in front of him.
After pondering for a long time, the Great Qian Emperor finally placed a piece.
Boom!
One piece dropped, heaven and earth changed color.
Above the entire Imperial City of the Great Qian Empire, at this very moment, the wind surged and clouds gathered.
A sand table made of clouds.
Faded in and out of sight.
What appeared on the sand table wasn't only the boundless Eastern Region, but also the Xuan Region.
Even.
The other two large regions adjacent to the Eastern Region, also appeared on the sand table.
Simultaneously, a black dragon phantom.
Swirled above the fading sand table, its pair of pitch-black eyes.
Revealed boundless ambition, a desire to devour heaven and earth.
“Your Majesty’s chess.”
“Is becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend.”
Looking at the chessboard, which seemed to be peaceful on the surface, but was filled with hidden dangers, with almost no moves available.
Yu Zhi Wen pondered for a long time before shaking his head and giving a wry smile, he didn’t make a move and bowed to the Great Qian Emperor, saying: “Today, your servant has lost once more.”
Seeing this.
The Great Qian Emperor also put away the chessboard, then in a calm tone, asked: “How is the situation in the Xuan Region progressing?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi Wen.
His face turned serious, and he respectfully reported: “The secret agent your servant planted in the Great Qin Empire, has been removed.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yu Zhi Wen continued: “Speaking of which, your servant has some news here, that His Majesty will surely be interested in.”
“What news?”
The Great Qian Emperor listened with interest, glancing at him.
The Great Qin Empire.
He was no stranger to it, in fact, he was exceptionally familiar with it. Both the once-powerful Qin Empire.
And the current declining Qin Empire.
“However, what’s interesting is.”
Yu Zhi Wen said: “The current Great Qin Emperor, actually rejected their pledge of allegiance, completely breaking off all ties.”
“Now.”
“The three great empires and the Taixu Holy Land in the Xuan Region, have unleashed their full potential, their momentum is immense, they’re openly and ostentatiously seeking to engage in a decisive battle with the Great Qin Empire, to annihilate them.”
Then, Yu Zhi Wen went on to explain the details of this battle.
The strength of the three great empires and the Taixu Holy Land, as well as the recent events in the Xuan Region, he reported everything to the Great Qian Emperor.
“They’re just a bunch of rabble.”
Upon hearing this, the Great Qian Emperor’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
However, after hearing about the Great Qin Empire’s flying boat, which was comparable to a semi-divine artifact.
His gaze tightened slightly.
He muttered in a deep voice: “As expected of the Great Qin Empire, even to this day, they still possess such a foundation.”
