Chapter 205 Zhuangzi's Dream of a Butterfly

Xianyang.

Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng was wearing a black dragon robe and a crown on his head with twelve tassels hanging down, revealing a pair of deep and terrifying eyes.

He sat upright on the throne, looking at the generals who wanted to send troops, without saying a word.

Attack a country.

It's not a small matter.

A single move can have a huge impact.

Need to be cautious.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible."

Li Si stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Now that the nine continents have been united, the Qin Dynasty is surrounded by enemies on all sides. In the south, General Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to occupy Youzhou of the Han Dynasty and confront Cao Cao!"

"The Yuan Dynasty in the west and the Qing Dynasty in the northwest are watching closely. Once the Qin Dynasty encounters any problem, they will rush over and take a bite!"

"In the east, the Ming Dynasty, the royal family has been destroyed by the God of War, but the Ming army is still there. It will take time to conquer it!"

"Once the main force of the Qin Empire is trapped in the Ming Empire, the surrounding enemies will surely swarm in. Even if the Qin Empire can stop them, it will lead to domestic unrest and hardship for the people."

"Master Li is right!"

Nei Shiteng followed up and said, "Although the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses in its top combat power, it is after all a unified great country with strong national strength. It is not easy to conquer it!"

"The Han Dynasty is divided into pieces, and the princes are rising up. Now my Qin has taken over Youzhou. Instead of attacking Ming, it is better to concentrate our forces to take over the Han Dynasty!"

"After the fusion of the Han Dynasty, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty will surely reach a higher level. By then, no matter which country we attack, it will be twice as effective with half the effort!"

"Your Majesty, speed is of the essence in war, and the opportunity for war is fleeting!"

Wang Ben shouted: "By the time we take down the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will have regained stability. If you want to take down the Ming Dynasty, you will have to pay ten times or a hundred times the price!"

"Moreover, once we conquer the Han Dynasty, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the surrounding countries, and they will definitely unite to fight against the Qin Dynasty!"

"Now that my Great Qin army is strong and powerful, I can take this opportunity to conquer the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

"The Han Dynasty is in pieces, so there is nothing to fear. It is already in the hands of the Qin Dynasty. As long as we take down the Ming Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will own the three continents of Zhongzhou, Yuzhou, and Huangzhou. Half of the world is in our hands. Even if the surrounding countries unite, what is there to fear?"

“…”

Ying Zheng looked at the debate between the pro-war and conservative factions below without saying a word.

Both factions have their own reasons.

There are pros and cons to each.

This requires the emperor to decide.

Whether to fight or not.

If it was someone like Yuan Shao, it would be a dilemma.

Hard to decide.

However, Ying Zheng is naturally not an indecisive person.

He had already made up his mind.

But just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly came from outside to report.

"Your Majesty, the Iron-hearted Marquis Zhu Wusi from the Dragon Guard Villa of the Daming Dynasty has sent an envoy to request an audience with Your Majesty!"

"Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi?"

Ying Zheng's mind moved, so he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

Let’s first see what Zhu Wusi wants to do.

"Xuan!"

Ying Zheng said.

"Announce the envoy of the Ming Dynasty Iron-hearted Divine Marquis to see you!"

Accompanied by a loud and high-pitched voice, the envoy sent by Zhu Wusi soon came before Ying Zheng.

"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty!"

The messenger bowed respectfully.

Li Si, Feng Quji and others secretly looked at the visitor, guessing his purpose.

With Emperor Ming and other powerful figures such as the ancestors of the Ming royal family being killed by the God of War, Zhu Wusi, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis, became the most powerful force in the Ming Dynasty and the person with the highest status in the Ming royal family.

"Stand up!"

Ying Zheng spoke calmly, with an invisible pressure covering the hall. He asked directly, "Why did the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis ask you to come here?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The envoy stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Divine Marquis admires the Emperor's reputation and is willing to become a vassal state of the Great Qin and to be friends forever!"

"What? The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis wants to submit to the Great Qin?"

Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Ben and others were all shocked. They were just discussing whether to attack the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't expect that Zhu Wusi surrendered in the blink of an eye!

I haven't even used any strength yet, and you've already fallen! A strange look flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes, and he was also a little surprised.

I didn't expect Zhu Wusi to surrender.

"Can the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis represent the Ming Dynasty?"

Although Ying Zheng was surprised, he remained calm as he questioned.

It would be best if we could defeat the enemy without fighting.

"Your Majesty, with the strength of the Divine Marquis, within three months, he will be able to ascend the throne and take control of the Ming Dynasty."

The messenger's voice was full of confidence.

He has an inexplicable confidence and fanaticism towards Zhu Wusi.

He is one of Zhu Wusi's confidants secretly cultivated.

Absolutely loyal.

As for Zhu Wusi, Ying Zheng also collected a lot of information.

If there had not been an old monster in the Ming royal family who suppressed Zhu Wusi, Zhu Wusi would have already seized the throne from Emperor Ming.

Now the royal master has been killed by the God of War.

It would definitely not be a problem for Zhu Wusi to seize the throne.

Sending troops to attack the Ming Dynasty is a huge undertaking, and the cost of money and food is immeasurable. Now that Zhu Wusi is willing to surrender, it couldn't be better.

One day later.

After various details were determined, Ying Zheng and Zhu Wusi signed a letter of credence and a treaty.

From this moment on.

The Ming Dynasty was a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so powerful that you can defeat the enemy without fighting. It will be just around the corner to conquer the Ming Dynasty and unify the nine continents!"

The ministers congratulated him with bright smiles on their faces.

"Zhu Wusi's surrender this time is all thanks to the might of the God of War. This is my fortune and the fortune of the Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng stood up, put one hand on the Tianwen on his waist, looked at the sky, and spoke in a sonorous voice.

He knew that Zhu Wusi was not afraid of him.

But the God of War.

Although he did not have a war god, he was confident that he could conquer the Ming Dynasty, but the price he would have to pay was unimaginable.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

…

soon.

The news that the God of War had killed the Ming Emperor, Ming Taizu and other peerless masters in one day swept across Daqin like a force twelve storm.

"God of War is mighty, God bless the Qin!"

"With the protection of the God of War, our Great Qin will surely be immortal!"

"The God of War is truly a role model for our generation!"

"My son just turned one month old, so I'll take him to worship the God of War and share in the good fortune!"

“…”

The people of Daqin all cheered and rejoiced, feeling proud of it.

They didn't know much, but knowing that the God of War was the patron saint of the Qin Dynasty and that he was invincible was enough.

The various schools of thought and other forces knew more detailed information.

Yin-Yang School.

Rashomon Hall.

This is a vast hall. The surroundings, the sky, and even the ground seem to be covered by stars, forming a universe of its own that seems to have no boundaries.

Donghuang Taiyi stood calmly, looking at the detailed information sent by his disciples, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Above the land immortals are the Taixu True Immortals?"

"The Ming Dynasty actually has so many terrifying and powerful people. What secrets are there?"

"The God of War seems to have surpassed the True Immortal Taixu. Is it possible that he has become an immortal?"

The more Donghuang Taiyi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more unwilling he became.

He finally reached the realm of Shenxu and became a land immortal.

I thought my life had reached its peak.

Closer the distance with the God of War.

But now it seems.

The distance between him and the God of War is still as far as the sky.

He is in the eyes of the God of War.

Still an ant.

"What secrets does the God of War have? Is he really an unrivaled powerhouse left over from ancient times?"

Donghuang Taiyi pondered secretly, with even more awe in his eyes.

When someone surpasses you a little bit, you will feel jealous and unwilling.

But when someone is much better than you and you can only look up to him, you won't even feel jealous.

Just like an ant would not envy a dragon.

There is only awe.

…

"Are there really immortals in this world?"

On the top of the mountain, a white-haired and cold woman stood calmly, like a snow lotus on an iceberg, lonely, holy, pure and elegant.

In her left hand, she gently held a long sword as white as autumn water. The sword was very special, especially the tassel, which was very long, like a whisk.

She raised her right hand, her white jade fingers slightly bent, and a butterfly flew gently and landed on her fingertips.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this butterfly was not made of flesh and blood, but a mechanical beast.

But it is full of spirituality and breath of life.

There are two lines of small words engraved on the butterfly wings:

"King Wu was fascinated by butterflies in his dream."

"A dot of red appears in the autumn waters of the ten thousand rivers."

This butterfly was exactly the mechanical beast butterfly that Zhao Wu gave to Xiao Meng that day.

Use the power of the rat spell to turn stillness into movement and give it life.

Xiao Meng naturally discovered the rat talisman.

Unfortunately, she didn't figure it out.

“Maybe it’s time to visit other continents!”

Xiao Meng has a leisurely gaze, a slender waist and long legs, and a menacing weapon.
