After changing horses and taking a small number of guards, Huang Tianwei did not linger. He mounted his warhorse and rode away from the military camp.
After leaving the city gate, Huang Tianwei sighed softly.
'This is completely beyond my expectations. Qin Ze's army is far too...'
'It seems that relying on Fusang to overthrow the Yan Kingdom and kill Qin Ze will be extremely difficult.'
'Hmm...we should escalate the conflict...'
After a moment's thought, Huang Tianwei shouted, "Giddy up!"
The group galloped off on horseback towards the coastal port...
——
"What? Open the port and let them in? And give them four coastal cities?"
"Those cities are extremely important!"
Nanze, inside the mansion.
Jin Jiande suddenly stood up from his chair, looking at Jin Jianzhong, who was sitting casually with his legs crossed, with a surprised expression.
Jin Jianzhong nodded slightly and waved his hand, saying:
"Sit down, Second Brother. Your legs aren't good, you should sit down more."
Jin Jiande's face flushed red, and he shouted, "Your Majesty has agreed?"
Jin Jianzhong picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled, "Otherwise what?"
"Second brother, don't say the wrong thing. It's not a gift to them, it's a loan, understand?"
"To be honest, if I hadn't said all the nice things, they probably wouldn't have agreed to this condition. So, we're not at a loss."
"Don't say I've been spending my time partying and doing nothing this time, haha."
Hearing the laughter, Jin Jiande trembled. He slumped into his chair, shaking his head and saying:
"Jianzhong, Jianzhong, you're still gloating."
"I don't know what you're happy about. Don't you understand what this means?"
Jin Jianzhong raised an eyebrow and looked at Jin Jiande, saying:
"I know."
"This means we'll have reinforcements soon! With their troops helping us, suppressing the rebels will be a piece of cake!"
"Hmph, this bastard has occupied Jinling and is even trying to change dynasties and act like a monarch."
"Pah! Who does he think he is! Does he even deserve to be called one?!"
"This traitorous wretch should have his entire family executed, and be torn apart by five horses! He wants to be emperor? He won't even get that chance in his next life!"
Faced with Jin Jianzhong's scolding, Jin Jiande sighed deeply:
“I understand. It is indeed a heinous crime for a traitor to steal the country, and he deserves to die.”
"But we've fought a massive war, and we've never lost any territory as a result..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Jianzhong interrupted him unhappily:
"Alright, alright, second brother, stop saying things like that."
"The traitor has seized control of Beiliang, which is now a den of thieves. In the area led by Xijing, some unruly people are also supporting him. These unruly people are a bunch of opportunists!"
"Given the current situation, how can we reclaim our territory without me bringing in people from outside?"
"By shouting?" Jin Jianzhong glanced at Jin Jiande and picked up his teacup again.
Rejected by these words, Jin Jiande nodded sullenly.
"Since His Majesty has agreed, there's nothing more to say."
"We'll do whatever Your Majesty says."
"Then...when will the handover take place?"
Jin Jianzhong chuckled, put down his teacup, and said with a smile:
"From what they've said, the treaty will be signed on the day Zhaoyang gets married, which is a happy occasion."
"Hey! That day is going to be really exciting!"
"Besides the groom, there will also be Sir Merri from the Kingdom of Sassa, Sir Morley from the Kingdom of Shenglu, and people from many other countries, all of whom are very important figures!"
At this point, Jin Jianzhong became even more excited. He stood up, spread his arms wide, and gesticulated wildly as he said:
"To put it grandly, it was practically a grand feast for all nations!"
"Hahaha! These are all powerful overseas nations! Those weak and small countries don't have the qualifications to participate!"
"How was it, Second Brother? I've done pretty well all these years overseas, haven't I?"
"Friends come from all corners of the world, and our gathering is a testament to our boundless friendship! At this moment, you should understand that what I have done is no less than what you and your elder brother have done!"
Jin Jiande frowned and said in a low voice, "So many people from so many countries are coming, actually, I'm really worried..."
"I'm still a little worried."
Jin Jianzhong looked displeased and said to Jin Jiande:
"Here we go again, Second Brother. You're always like this, aren't you? Always so cautious and timid?"
He walked over to Jin Jiande, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a serious expression:
"Second brother, listen to me."
"After going overseas, I realized how vast the world is, and that there are even higher mountains beyond the mountains and even wider seas beyond the seas."
"Is it big? It is huge! We are a vast country with many mountains and rivers, millions of people, and countless resources."
"But looking at the whole world, it's not the biggest!"
"The largest country I've ever been to is Sir Merriwyn's Saurischia. It's no less than our Great Gan, no! It should be said that it's even better than our Great Gan!"
Jin Jiande looked somber and did not respond.
Jin Jianzhong, however, continued speaking to himself, "I thought this was the most powerful country overseas, but I never expected..."
"On one occasion, Sir Michael McLilliard invited me to his residence. There were quite a few people there, including friends from neighboring countries. We drank a lot of wine that day and had a very enjoyable conversation."
"At midnight, Sir Van Lillen and I were riding in a carriage, and he was completely drunk."
He told me, “Don’t be fooled by Sir John McLeod’s vast wealth and power in the Kingdom of Saar. Two years ago, Sir John McLeod, as the Governor, went on an overseas expedition, but encountered an unfamiliar army in an unnamed land.”
