The Imperial Advisor shook his head: "Your Majesty, please remember that all prosperity and beauty must come to an end. At this moment, what seems like a turn for the better is not actually the case."
Susanoo gave a cold laugh: "Say something I can understand. I don't understand what you're babbling about."
The Imperial Advisor said, “Your Majesty, the Great Lord is dead. He had more troops than you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been living in seclusion in Ezo for so long.”
"But the great lord is now dead and his kingdom destroyed, ending up with his head separated from his body."
"The fighting power of the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty is beyond your imagination." The Grand Preceptor walked out of the door. "Your Majesty, I advise you not to act rashly, lest you end up with nothing."
Upon hearing this, Susanoo roared, "You bastard! All you ever say is these depressing things. I've never heard you utter a single useful word!"
"Guards! Seize the Imperial Advisor and throw him in jail!"
"I will launch a war soon. When I return in triumph, I will execute the entire family of the Imperial Preceptor."
They arrived quickly, a dozen or so palace guards.
The palace guards drew their samurai swords from their waists.
The Imperial Advisor smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, "You don't need to lift a finger; I'll go with you."
After the Imperial Advisor finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Susanoo and the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in his hand: "Your Majesty, do not let desires blind you. Some things may seem wonderful, but in reality, they are a huge trap."
Susanoo angrily waved his hand: "What are you all standing there for? Take the Grand Preceptor away right now, and don't let him spread his heresies again."
"Hi..."
After the Imperial Advisor finished speaking, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.
He turned around and left quickly.
...
That night, the Imperial Palace in Hokkaido was filled with revelry all night long.
The palace maids danced gracefully to the rhythm of the music.
Susanoo and his civil and military officials, along with a dozen or so military officers who had come to join him, drank and chatted, their cups clinking in a lively atmosphere.
Susanoo's hostile general, Amaterasu Rikio, said: "Your Majesty, we must hurry up and launch an attack. We already have 500,000 soldiers, and now another 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers have come to join us."
We have nearly a million soldiers under our command.
Feeding and watering a million soldiers is a major problem.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up, holding a sake cup: "Your Majesty, those Great Xia people have plenty to eat and drink."
Oda Nobunaga nodded repeatedly: "The Xia cavalry we've seen along the way are all living the high life."
Their vehicles transported grain and various kinds of meat from Sizhou Island to various parts of the Japanese archipelago day and night.
"I saw with my own eyes that their granaries were full of grain."
Susanoo: "I, the Emperor, will definitely choose an auspicious day to advance within the next few days."
We either don't fight at all, or if we do fight, we must completely annihilate the enemy.
Once we eliminate these Xia Dynasty cavalry, conquering their homeland will become exceptionally easy.
"Your Majesty the Emperor is wise," the crowd said, raising their glasses and rising to speak.
In the days that followed...
Not only did many military generals bring their troops to join them, but many civilians also came to seek refuge while being pursued by bounty hunters.
Susanoo never expected that in less than a month in Hokkaido, his forces would more than double in number.
Within a month.
Susanoo's forces have exceeded one million.
This was something he had never imagined before.
Susanoo is now full of ambition.
In his view, conquering the entire island of Japan would be no difficult task, and conquering the Central Plains and vying for supremacy in the future would also be no difficult task.
...
Inside the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan.
Shangguan Wan'er has been in a particularly good mood lately, and her appetite has also been getting better and better.
This little girl has already passed the initial stages of morning sickness.
Pregnant Shangguan Wan'er became even more beautiful than before, and she was no longer as thin as she used to be.
Inside Jiang Tian's bedroom.
Shangguan Wan'er lay on the bed, bleeding.
"My lord, I'd like to eat some cherries." Shangguan Wan'er gave Jiang Tian a flirtatious look.
"What do you mean by 'a little bit'? You have to eat them by the basketful." Jiang Tian opened the system space.
His orchards are now larger than before.
This place contains almost every fruit that can be named in the 21st century, and in even better quality.
"Eat more cherries and more Kyoho grapes. The baby born this way will have more beautiful eyes."
Jiang Tian took out a basket of cherries, which were bigger than a baby's fist.
The table was already piled high with all sorts of fruit.
"Durian..." Jiang Tian peeled the durian and placed it in front of Shangguan Wan'er.
In ancient times, it was not customary for men to serve women.
Jiang Tian took out a mountain of fruit and placed it in front of Shangguan Wan'er.
The little girl was incredibly touched.
"Husband, I am just your little maid, you don't need to be so good to me."
Jiang Tian stood up: "Tell me, what do you want to eat? Husband, I'll make it for you."
"I want to eat everything, I don't know why, my appetite is too good, but I can't eat much of anything."
Jiang Tian touched Shangguan Wan'er's belly.
Shangguan Wan'er's belly remained flat as usual.
"Eat more, you're eating for two now." Jiang Tian walked outside.
"Husband, where are you going?"
"I'll go and fry some steaks for you, I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied."
Shangguan Wan'er quickly stood up and grabbed Jiang Tian's arm: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. How can a grown man like you do such dirty and tiring work?"
"I'm willing to do it for our child," Jiang Tian said with a smile, gently pinching Shangguan Wan'er's chin.
"By the way, you like sour food and you also like spicy food."
Sour for men, spicy for women.
While it's not 100% accurate, it's at least 80% correct.
"I like spicy food."
"Then I'll prepare a hot pot for you."
Commander Wan'er frowned: "Husband, I've heard that sour foods are for boys and spicy foods are for girls. Could it be that I'm pregnant with a girl?"
My daughter is a money-losing burden. Husband, you won't blame me, will you?
"Who told you that daughters are a waste of money? Don't think like that. I love you whether you're a boy or a girl." Jiang Tian kissed Shangguan Wan'er on the forehead.
"Girls can't do anything except be good wives and mothers and learn needlework," Shangguan Wan'er said, still worried.
"My husband, what if I am unable to give you a son?"
"Don't think about these messy things, get some rest, and eat in peace."
Just tell me what you want to eat.
"By the way, I'll ask Li Shizhen to prescribe some medicine to help with the pregnancy. Don't overthink things; it's not good for the baby."
After saying that, Jiang Tian helped Shangguan Wan'er sit down and lay down on her stomach: "Baby, I am your father, and your father is me. This is our secret code."
