Chapter 229 Ode to the Nine Dragons



Song Yanran sighed helplessly. This was the history of Longhan, a humiliating history long forgotten by the world.

Afterwards, war broke out across the Central Continent, but the Dragon Han Empire remained completely silent.

Fast forward several hundred years to the present, and the timeline shows "the end of Emperor Jing's reign".

Song Yanran's pupils contracted, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.

That period of history is something she doesn't even want to mention, even in her dreams.

"In his later years, Emperor Jing was plagued by internal political disagreements within the royal family, which led to endless infighting among the princes and finally ignited a struggle for the throne that could shake the fate of the nation."

The scene is filled with bloodshed and cruelty in the struggle for imperial power.

"In the autumn of the third year, the Empress established the Imperial Guard, eliminated the rebels and their associates in the court, rectified the government, and swept away the ills of the previous dynasty."

The screen paused, and the music stopped.

"Today, I will tell the Xiongnu that the roles of offense and defense have shifted. They may go, and so may I!"

Then, the Ode to the Nine Dragons resounded throughout the sky.
