The fall of the North Shore Province caused Hongdi City to feel tremendous pressure.
All parties are actively preparing for war.
The middle and lower classes all thought they could resist the human race, but some high-level people understood the real situation.
It will be very difficult for the Hongzheng Empire to win!
Now it is not just a matter of the fall of the North Shore Province, but the complete fall of the northeast and northwest. The human army has been moving south and will soon capture the west and east.
Not only that…
After Hong Han's death, a lot of internal strife broke out in Hongdi City.
On this day, Emperor Hong came to the Chi clan.
Chi Wei came out to greet him personally, and kept a very humble attitude, with a look of deep fear on his face, like a humble official meeting the king.
"Mr. Chi, long time no see."
Emperor Hong looked at the elderly Chi Wei and sighed.
Chi Wei said, "Your Majesty, we just met a while ago."
"That was a meeting between a monarch and his subjects, not as friends."
Emperor Hong said softly, "Putting aside some prejudices, you and I may just be friends, working together for the Northern Territory and striving for our ideals."
Chi Wei was silent for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, please come in first and have a cup of hot tea."
He did not directly answer Hong Di's words, but avoided the question.
Emperor Hong smiled and didn't care.
Just like war, some hatred cannot be resolved with a few words.
Chi Wei brewed a pot of tea, filled a cup, and handed it to Emperor Hong.
“Good tea.”
After tasting the tea, Emperor Hong sighed, "It's just a little bitter."
"Perhaps the taste is not suitable for Your Majesty." Chi Wei said softly.
Emperor Hong smiled and shook his head, saying, "There's no such thing as suitable or not, it's just a matter of whether I want to drink it or not."
As he spoke, Emperor Hong looked at Chi Wei and said softly, "I want to drink it, no matter how bitter it is, I will drink it."
There is a hidden meaning.
Chi Wei heard the profound meaning in the words, looked directly at Emperor Hong, and said calmly: "Your Majesty could have drunk better tea, why stare at the bitter and astringent tea?"
Emperor Hong smiled and said, "Some things are beyond our control. If we want to take that step, we have to drink bitter tea."
Emperor Hong looked up at the sky and said softly, "If there are other teas to drink, why should I choose the bitterest one?"
"Bitter tea... hurts."
Chi Wei's voice was a little sharp, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Hongdi has his own way, including his own stance.
And Chi Wei also has a stance.
From his perspective, he had witnessed Emperor Hong destroy the Beichi Empire, and he just wanted to restore his country, nothing more.
"Since you're going to hurt someone, then let's hurt them to the end."
Emperor Hong chuckled faintly, and an imperial aura erupted from his body, enveloping the entire Chi clan. He said softly, "Chi Wei, these few days, you will play a game of chess with me. Let me see how good your chess skills are."
Emperor Hong sealed off the entire Chi clan!
If anyone wants to go out, he will be killed immediately by the power of the barrier!
Chi Wei's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Emperor Hong fiercely.
This is... a clone!
The incarnation of Emperor Hong descended to suppress him!
If the human race is defeated, Chi Wei will most likely encounter a disaster!
The Chi clan can't escape either.
Emperor Hong...finally started to take action!
"good!"
A relieved smile appeared on Chi Wei's face. No matter what, this day would eventually come.
A chess game, a pot of tea, and two cups.
A pavilion, a lake, and two figures.
seem……
They are all in confrontation.
It was a peaceful scene, but hidden behind it was the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers.
…………
The Chi family was suppressed!
When the news reached the human camp, Wang Jing's face sank.
"Emperor Hong suppressed the entire Chi clan with just one clone. If Emperor Hong is free to take action, the Chi clan might be completely destroyed."
Xue Jialang narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the Hong Emperor is also self-aware. He knows that it is difficult for the Hongzheng Empire to win this battle, and it may even be destroyed, but he still did it.
As long as he is alive, the soul of the Hongzheng Empire will not be destroyed.
Perhaps, he could also take this opportunity to destroy the Chi family and label them as collaborators, which would enhance his prestige when he later restores his country."
Xue Jialang has analyzed what Hongdi wants to do from multiple angles and finally came up with a possibility with a higher probability.
"To sum it up in four words: a cornered dog will jump over the wall."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Now that the north has almost fallen, it's only a matter of time before they force their way into Hongdi City. He's more anxious than anyone else right now, and he's also afraid of major problems arising internally, so he can only use the most direct means to suppress them."
"When Emperor Hong did this, he told us he was afraid."
"Maybe he's not afraid of the Hongzheng Empire's demise, or even the Hong Imperial Clan's demise, but he's afraid of his own death. He's afraid that there won't be a Great Emperor to help him, and he's afraid that he'll die in the Northern Territory."
“…”
Two rays of divine light shot out from Wang Jing's eyes.
He had already informed Chi Wei that Emperor Hong would definitely take action against the Chi family.
When the war comes, the Chi family is like a thorn in the heart of the Hongzheng Empire. If you can't pull out this thorn, you have to pinch it to prevent it from getting deeper.
So, Wang Jing asked Chi Wei to do nothing and wait for news.
As long as the human army arrives outside Hongdi City, it will be time for Chi Wei to take action.
That day will also be the day when Emperor Hong falls.
"What should we do next?" Zhou Chen looked at Wang Jing and asked.
He felt that since Wang Jing had so many plans, he might know better than them what to do next.
"Take the West and the East."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "As long as we take over Aiwan City in the west and Wuhai City in the east, the eastern and western provinces will fall into our hands sooner or later."
"Let's go to Wuhai City." Zhou Chen said directly.
Wuhai City is also a port city. It is the main economic port of the Hongzheng Empire. Taking control of it would be like stabbing a knife in the lifeline of the Hongzheng Empire.
"Then let's go to Aiwan City." Zhang Xuan said.
His team is also at the True King level. Now that they are going to Aiwan City, they will definitely be able to cooperate with the military to complete this mission.
In every siege, the military was the main combatant, while the people from Wuda University worked in teams to cooperate with the military to complete various difficult tasks.
Only in this way can they win every battle better.
Wang Jing nodded and said, "Master Xun and Principal Mu will also be going to Wuhai City. You'd better be more careful there to avoid being attacked by others before they die."
"Don't worry." Xue Jialang grinned and said, "The aliens' teeth are too small. When they bite down, they might break a tooth first."
"Ren Hao, keep a close eye on them." Wang Jing said helplessly.
Xue Jialang is a naughty guy, while Zhou Chen is always a bit dull. Only Ren Hao can control them both.
As for Wang Jing, he still had to carry out suppression in the north.
Things in the north still need to be resolved.
