“Tossing Baiyan City away? Marshal, would the Yueming Emperor still care about his son’s life?” he asked.
“It doesn’t matter if he cares or not,” Zhan Beiye said softly.
So what if the Emperor thought of hundreds of ways to kill Ming Fucheng? He had to appear as a wise ruler and a kind father.
He could not abandon his favorite son because of this incident. What would he become in the eyes of the Yueming Empire’s citizens if he did?
If he could give up on his favorite son so easily, wouldn’t his ministers just die if something happened?
Hence, if the Yueming Emperor wanted to maintain his reputation, he had to send people to negotiate peace.
“Baiyan City will be ours sooner or later. There’s no hurry. You just have to arrange for the provisions. Don’t let the soldiers starve,” he instructed.
“Yes, Marshal.” The deputy generals received his orders and left.
Zhan Beiye held his chin as he watched the deputy generals leave.
With Ming Fucheng now in his hands, he had to quickly stabilize the nine cities he had conquered. He did not want the Yueming Emperor to reclaim the cities, but he also refused to give them to his father for nothing.
Of course, these cities were now his territory. He had to think of a way to make his father suffer.
Things went according to his wishes, but he still had a headache. He did not want to do this, but he had no choice.
In fact, if it weren’t for Qian Jiyun coming over and reminding him that he could do this, he really wouldn’t have thought about establishing his own empire.
“Huff!” He exhaled heavily.
He would not have done any of this if he had not been forced to the point of death.
He was now waiting for the Yueming Emperor, curious to see how much he would offer to redeem his gambler son. After all, he would need to invest a lot of money to manage both the nine conquered cities and Baiyan City.
After resting for a while in the cabin, An Jiuyue could not sit still anymore and began refining medicinal pills.
Unable to dissuade or stop her, Qian Jiyun guarded her helplessly, worried that something would happen to her.
He watched as she placed various medicinal plants into the pill-refining furnace. He was even more nervous than An Jiuyue and only looked more relieved when he noted that her body’s demonic energy was stable.
This time, An Jiuyue refined a new type of pill, the Cloud-Breaking Pill.
This was not a medicinal pill for self-defense; it was an offensive one. If tossed in moments of danger, it would explode.
It could kill demonic beasts if they failed to dodge in time, and it could also kill her if she was not careful during the refinement process.
Hence, she was very careful. She was so nervous that a cold sweat broke out on her forehead when she placed the medicinal plants in the furnace. Fortunately, her hands did not tremble.
“Do you need my help?” Qian Jiyun asked softly.
“No,” An Jiuyue replied calmly, not daring to shake her head. “You have to be extra careful with the Cloud-Breaking Pill. I’ll handle it myself.”
It was not that she did not trust Qian Jiyun, but she was already working on it. It would be troublesome to replace her hand with his. Besides, she was more familiar with the medicinal plants she had placed in the pill-refining furnace..
