Emperor Yuan’s only regret was that he could not go to the front line to witness the fall of the capital of Wei Country.
For this country that had been suppressing the Great Yuan for many years, which he once pledged, and only surpassed after he took power, Emperor Yuan had also been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
“Take the sword Zhen gave you.”
Emperor Yuan opened his arms, “Even if Zhen can’t personally lead the charge, Zhen wants it to witness with his own eyes how the four seas and eight wastelands are included in my Great Yuan territory!”
(t/n: four seas and eight wastelands-Four seas: East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea, and North China Sea. The Eight Wastelands: East, South, West, North, Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest. The general meaning is the whole world.)
“You are the crown prince of Great Yuan, when you are there, it is as if Zhen is there, and you are Zhen’s eyes. So, you have to witness this scene of ruling the world for Zhen, and personally measure the territory Zhen has leveled!”
Zong Luo’s eyes began to turn red.
It was conceivable how much pressure there would be in the court for the crown prince to personally go into battle. Even if Emperor Yuan was an unquestionable tyrant, this decision would bring him a lot of trouble. If there was a mistake in the middle, he’s afraid that the things that were suppressed under high pressure before would rebound.
However, Emperor Yuan still let him go, without hesitation.
To be fair, Zong Luo naturally hoped to be able to fight the world for his father emperor and level the mountains and seas. Whether it’s out of guilt or because of a general’s identity.
He knelt on the ground, in the posture of a general, and said in a trembling voice, “This subject obeys!”
“Of course.”
After a long time, Emperor Yuan turned around. “You don’t have to feel burdened for this, even if you say that if you can’t do it yourself, you can tell Zhen, and Zhen will cut off on your behalf.”
(t/n: Cutting off, in Internet terms, refers to an attitude towards life, which means cutting off and discarding all unnecessary, inappropriate, and outdated things, and cutting off attachment to them)
The large palm was placed on his head again.
“After the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony, Zhen noticed that your mood was wrong. But no matter what, Zhen will always be your strongest backing.”
The decisive tyrant looked at his proudest prince and softened his voice, “Go, come back earlier, Zhen will cover everything for you.”
Since he got the approval of Emperor Yuan, Zong Luo did not delay, went straight back to Yuchun Palace, ordered the palace people to prepare a good salute, and solemnly put on the golden silk soft armor.
This trip to Wei Country would definitely be extremely dangerous.
The appearance of the Crown Prince of the Great Yuan on the front line, no matter what, would be impossible to conceal from the enemy.
By then, any battlefield where Zong Luo was present would become the most intense battlefield.
At present, only the Great Yuan and Wei Country were left in the Great Wilderness, and all the forces against Yuan were all concentrated in Wei Country, adding several generals out of thin air. Even among the hundred schools of thought, many have openly stated their support for Wei Country.
The most famous family of mechanism technique, the Gongshu family, was one of the long-established families in Wei Country.
Why Wei country was able to achieve a grand plan of hegemony was also inseparably related to the Gongshu family. The divine crossbow built by Gongshu Ban, engraved with the patterns drawn by the witch of Wei Country using a cunning technique, was said to be able to instantly claim the life of the enemy thousands of miles away just by shouting the name of the person whose life was to be claimed. It still stood in the Imperial city today, its reputation was paved with countless blood, and it still scared people hundreds of years later.
Because of this kind of killer weapon, Zong Luo couldn’t participate in the whole process of the battle against Wei Country. He must hide his traces well and only appear when the final battle comes.
This time he went out, although his original intention was to find Yu Beizhou to end it, but since Emperor Yuan intended to let him participate in the final battle all the way, he must wait until he took down the capital of Wei Country before he could return to the country to report.
To completely conquer a country, it would take at least half a year.
Zong Luo remembered that the time when Emperor Yuan had a sudden illness in his previous life was around the end of the year. Excluding the time on the road, this meant that he only had about four months to take down Wei Country perfectly.
Before the New Year, he must return to the Imperial City.
No matter whether Emperor Yuan had a sudden illness in this life, Zong Luo must stay in the palace. Of course, there was also the issue of returning after he and Yu Beizhou had completely broken off.
After packing up his luggage, wearing Zhanlu around his waist, leading Zhao Yebai, and bringing a few secret guards, Zong Luo finally bid farewell to Emperor Yuan, and left the palace from the side door with light equipment.
Fortunately, he didn’t need to go to court, and on the court’s side, it could still be acting first and reporting afterwards, concealing for a while.
The barracks of Xuan Cavalry had long been empty.. This time Zong Luo kept his promise and let Zong Ruichen go with the army. As for Pei Qianxue, Zong Luo had already written a letter to him and sent it to Pei’s Mansion by a servant, at least it was not a departure without saying goodbye.
Draped with the setting sun, Zong Luo took a detour and ran to the gate of the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
The grand gate of the prince’s mansion in the past had already been sealed, and the people coming and going at the side door looked panicked, all were ’the master was down, and the monkeys each flew in the face of a major disaster’ appearance.
Seeing this precious white clothes and the divine white horse, everyone panicked and saluted, “Paying respects to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“No need to be polite.”
Zong Luo said lightly, “Is there a strategist named Gongsun You in the mansion? Let him pack up and come see this Crown Prince.”
