Faced with Prince Qing's question, Jin Jianren sat upright in his chair and shook his head, saying:
"The barbarian army led by Wu Kui is the main force fighting against Qin Ze. With them here, the chances of victory are already 90%."
"Of the 200,000 troops that Jin Mang brought, half were former members of the Panlong Army, whom I have integrated. With these people, it is enough."
"If we bring the new weapons, those things are too bulky, and it would take a long time to bring them over."
At this point, he glanced sideways at Jin Jiande, who was looking down, and said sarcastically:
"Besides, isn't Second Brother going? Every single one of his Thousand Machine Battalion members is a skilled fighter. With so much combat power, why worry about not being able to deal with Qin Ze?"
"Last time, my second brother sent people to assassinate Qin Ze. Although they failed and those people disappeared without a trace, I think it must have been because they were incompetent and escaped. It was not my second brother's fault."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande's face, already flushed from the alcohol, burned even hotter. He lowered his head, his eyes darting around, and remained silent.
Prince Qing smiled slightly and looked at Jin Jiande, saying:
“Your elder brother is right, but you still need to be careful on your trip.”
Jin Jiande lowered his head and mumbled a "hmm".
Just then.
With a "snap".
Jin Jiande swayed slightly, then quickly raised his head, and a hand landed on his shoulder.
“Son, seeing Qin Ze’s fierce momentum, I inexplicably feel a surge of courage…” Prince Qing raised his head, his face deep, and then his gaze shifted downwards to look at Jin Jiande’s face.
"What?" Jin Jiande raised his face, looking puzzled.
Prince Qing withdrew his hand from his shoulder, then put his hands behind his back and said:
"Well... it's nothing, but we can't be careless."
Jin Jiande scratched his head and said:
"Yes, Dad, I understand. Don't worry."
"The best outcome would be for Wu Kui's barbarian army to directly defeat Qin Ze."
"Secondly, if they are locked in a fierce battle and fail to achieve a complete rout, then Jin Mang and I will join forces to annihilate Qin Ze."
"In short, no matter what method is used, Qin Ze will eventually die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kim Geon-in, who was sitting in a chair, crossed his legs and chuckled:
"That's right. Wu Kui's troops have been passing through several cities on their way to Bei Liang these past few days. I've received word that they have a large number of soldiers, and it's said that Wu Kui still has eight fierce generals under his command."
"Heh, these barbarians have risen again over the years, but..."
Just then, Prince Qing continued Kim Geon-in's words with a smile:
"But times have changed!"
"Now, it's not just about the size of the troops! My Shenji Battalion, even if it only sends out 10,000 men, can defeat an enemy force ten times larger!"
Jin Jianren nodded and smiled, "Father is right, but it's a pity it costs too much money."
Prince Qing shrugged and laughed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Jianzhong sees more new and interesting things overseas and spends more money there."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande raised his head and looked at Prince Qing, saying:
"Father, has Third Brother's letter arrived?"
Prince Qing nodded. "Yes, it's been delivered. Jianzhong said he's made some friends of high status, and they'll be going back to Dagan together in a while."
At this point, Prince Qing stroked his chin and sighed:
"However, this time they can't come from the East Sea. Fusang is in turmoil, and it's really not peaceful there. Now that Qin Ze has occupied Anyang County, it's even more troublesome."
"So they came from the South China Sea?" Jin Jiande asked.
Prince Qing nodded. "Yes, from the South China Sea."
"When will you be back? Come to think of it, it's been a year or two since I last saw you, little brother," Jin Jiande pressed.
"It might happen before the New Year, or it might happen after the New Year. There's no definite answer yet, so I can't say for sure," Prince Qing shook his head.
At this moment, Jin Jianren laughed and said, "If you come back before the New Year, then you must defeat Qin Ze as soon as possible, otherwise when you come back, you will still be fighting with Qin Ze, which will be... hehe."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jin Jiande sat up abruptly from his chair.
"It's getting late. I have to lead the army out to war early tomorrow morning. I should go back and rest."
Prince Qing looked at him and said, "I'll say it again: although we don't have a 100% chance of winning, we have a 90% chance, but even so, we can't underestimate our enemy and must be careful in dealing with Qin Ze."
"This child must not be underestimated!"
"Furthermore, the barbarian army is the main force. It would be best to let them handle it. We shouldn't rashly get involved. It would be best for us to sit back and reap the benefits."
"besides......"
Seeing that Prince Qing was still rambling on, Jin Jiande gave a helpless smile:
"Alright, Dad, I know what to do."
"Just wait for my good news."
After he finished speaking, Jin Jianren sat up from his chair, walked over to Jin Jiande, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Second brother, come back soon."
“If Jianzhong comes back before the New Year, the three of us brothers can have a New Year’s Eve dinner. The last time we had a family reunion dinner was two years ago. This year, we should get together and have a few drinks.”
Jin Jiande removed his hand from his shoulder, raised his face, and looked at Jin Jianren, who was more than half a head taller than him, and said:
"good."
"I will take Qin Ze's head, and ensure that Da Gan will enjoy eternal peace under His Majesty's rule!"
"Anyone who dares to harm His Majesty will be eliminated by me! This Qin Ze, I will surely get rid of him!"
Looking at Jin Jiande's solemn face and resolute eyes, Jin Jianren was slightly taken aback, and then nodded silently.
Then he turned around, sat back down in his chair, and said nothing more.
Jin Jiande walked out of the dining hall, and Prince Qing followed closely behind. As they walked, he said:
