Chapter 224: Book City Compromises! The Holy Lord Conferred the Title to Ying Que!

Jiang Shouzong accepted the ultimatum and said, "Okay, we will report it to the Holy Lord and then give you a reply."

Then, he took this ultimatum and left, returning to Tongten Pavilion.

After entering, Jiang Shouzong slowly opened the ultimatum and read it.

Everything was as he imagined.

He showed this ultimatum to everyone present, and finally handed it to the Holy Lord's envoy.

After a long while, someone asked: "Is this war blackmail?"

Jiang Shouzong said with a smile: "Yingque once asked me, if he agrees to hand over the ninety-seven people on the list, will we directly agree to recognize his victory, or will we push for more? Now I want to ask you, will we how?"

Everyone is silent because the answer is obvious and they will push for more.

Jiang Shouzong said: "About this matter, do we not have a clear goal? The only goal is to take advantage? Of course, in more lofty terms, it is to communicate with the other party based on strength. Yingque still laughs at us, always It’s full of fantasy.”

As soon as these words came out, the person who said Ying Que was engaging in war blackmail suddenly blushed.

Jiang Shouzong said: "I have been dealing with Yingque for so long. I believe everyone knows whether he is committing war blackmail this time."

"Okay, let me say it bluntly, I don't think he is war blackmail. When the deadline comes, if we don't recognize the victory in the Battle of Kyoto, Ying Que and the imperial army will definitely invade Yingzhou and use force to regain Tianshui Xing Don’t have any illusions, this will happen.”

“This matter will definitely be left to the Holy Lord’s final decision, but we must also provide sufficient basis for the Holy Lord’s decision-making.”

"I would like to ask, once the emperor and Yingque's army invade Yingzhou, can our Sky Book City openly send troops?"

"Once we openly send troops, it will of course be a civil war in the Eastern world. Can we afford the consequences?"

Everyone fell silent.

Once the civil war becomes public, everyone feels that victory is inevitable.

Sky Book City is so powerful that it can definitely defeat the empire and the army.

But...what about reputation? Where is the public sentiment?

Sky Bookstore is a detached force, even though it wants to grasp secularity and detachment.

But at least now it is a detached force.

The most important thing for transcending power is reputation.

In order to suppress the emperor's reputation, the emperor was forced to go to the border in person to make an alliance with the King of Dali, and to call the newly established southern barbarian kingdom a brotherly country.

At that moment, the emperor's majesty and reputation were suppressed to the extreme.

But even at that time, Sky Bookstore did not want to start a full-scale civil war. Of course, Jiang Shouzong still handed over a declaration of war for the majesty of Sky Bookstore.

But now, public sentiment and public opinion overwhelmingly support Ying Que and the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor's reputation has reached its peak.

Once a war breaks out, will Sky Bookstore be able to grasp justice?

There is no doubt that it cannot be done.

The invasion of the Western Holy See is imminent, and your Sky Bookstore will launch an unjust war.

Xu Daoxuan suddenly said: "Once the empire and Yingque send troops to attack Yingzhou, Sky Book City cannot send troops openly and can only support it secretly. Otherwise, our reputation will be shattered in the hearts of all the people in the world."

In fact, its reputation is now very bad. At least hundreds of thousands of scholars across the world have gone on strike to besiege academies in various places and besiege Tongten Pavilion.

The special envoy of the imperial edict said: "I will go back to the Holy Lord and wait for his final decision."

Jiang Shouzong said: "Wait a moment, I will talk to King Mi."

……………………………………………………

Inside Mi's camp.

King Mi was killing a wild boar, and his knife skills were as sharp and sharp as Yingque's use of a bone pen to peel off the skin and remove the bones.

There is only one person beside him, and that is Mi Huan.

"King Mi, what do you think of the current situation?"

King Mi smiled and said: "I completely obey. I will obey any decision of Sky Book City."

Jiang Shouzong said: "King Mi, I'm here to tell you the truth."

King Mi said: "Tell the truth? Then tell the truth."

"First, Mi Huan felt that he made a mistake, which brought great passivity to everyone. But I didn't blame him, because he didn't do anything wrong, it was just that the win was too powerful, so don't have any mental burden."

"Second, I sent someone to the Dongyi Empire to meet with Duke Théoden and asked him to send troops to eliminate Yingque and regain Kyoto. He refused because the Western world was also fighting within itself and he could not be distracted."

"From that point on, instead of wasting any resources on this matter, I just threw myself into the next battle and started planning the next battle."

"When the investigation team came back, I told you that Mi was willing to obey any decision. On the contrary, it was you who wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail something from Ying Que and ask him to hand over ninety-seven people."

"The continuous interruption has caused the sky bookstore to suffer a great loss in reputation, majesty and people's morale."

Jiang Shouzong said: "The next battle?"

King Mi said: "Yes, the next battle."

King Mi has actually prepared for the next battle?

"The next battle was planned a few months ago, before Yingque went to the Dongyi Empire." King Mi said calmly: "Originally, Yingque was defeated and died in the Dongyi Empire. I will It was launched immediately. The result was a great victory and Kyoto was recaptured, alas..."

King Mi sighed and said: "The killing move that originally had 12 points of power, now only has 7 points left."

Jiang Shouzong said: "Ten points is enough? Seven points is enough."

King Mi said: "I have always liked powerful opponents. The more powerful the opponent, the more excited I am. But this time the opponent is too difficult. I hope he is weaker."

After that, King Mi took out the heart of the wild boar and cut it into pieces.

He stabbed a piece with a dagger and handed it to Jiang Shouzong: "Would you like a piece?"

Jiang Shouzong was stunned, then reached out to take it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

King Mi also put the pig heart into his mouth and chewed it piece by piece.

Then, King Mi said: "This battle has been lost. Let's withdraw decisively. Don't be obsessed with fighting. Immediately concentrate all strategic resources and enter the next battle. And I think the greatest asset of Sky Bookstore is the people's hearts and public opinion. It’s about reputation! So in the next battle, we must take the initiative in public opinion.”

Jiang Shouzong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because the previous King Mi was very humble and would never speak in such a tone of pointing out the country. Even when facing an elder of Sky Book City, he was respectful.

But now, he gave the instructions directly.

After saying that, King Mi put down his dagger, bowed to Jiang Shouzong and said, "I'm sorry, Jiang Shouzong, Mi has caused trouble for you. I am willing to obey whatever will Sky Book City has in the future."

Coming, coming.

This attitude of reverence and humility is back.

Jiang Shouzong said: "I have learned the lesson, thank you King Mi."

King Mi bent down ninety degrees and said, "Little king, I don't dare. The first sect has defeated me."

Jiang Shouzong left Mi's camp.

……………………………………………………

The next afternoon!

King Mi's 100,000-strong army began to retreat.

I thought Ying Que was dead, and I felt that the Shen Gong family would not willingly hand over their territory, so they planned to fight for it by force.

Therefore, King Mi's army once again surrounded Zhenhai City.

Now, retreat silently.

The special envoy of the Holy Lord has already gone to Sky Book City to report back to the Holy Lord.

Jiang Shouzong looked at the retreating figure of King Mi's army, and felt a chill rising behind him.

After the struggle until now, Jiang Shouzong already had some understanding of Ying Que.

This man is vicious, unconstrained, and almost demonic in his intelligence. But ultimately, his background is bright.

Even the radiance of character that a thousand-year-old Chinese race should have, both good and bad.

It can be seen clearly from his attitude towards the people around him and Ning Daoyi.

This kind of person is difficult to fight, but at least he can see clearly.

But King Mi is really hard to see clearly, too mysterious and too gloomy.

Sky Bookstore dismembered the Great Xia Empire, unified the world, and supported another emperor.

So is King Mi in front of him really a good candidate?

Will he be more difficult to deal with than the Emperor of Daxia in the future and cause greater trouble?

………………………………

Within the next few days.

Ying Que only did three important things, drawing pulses for Xie Fan, drawing bones for Shen Wuzhuo, and drawing pulses for Shen Lingluo.

Ji Fan spent the most energy of the bone pen, because Ying Que drew the spiritual mysterious veins to the extreme.

Next, she will be the main force in researching secret weapons, which requires extremely high IQ, strong brain thinking and mental strength.

It is only half a step away from the top profound veins.

Shen Wuzhuo inherited Shen Gong Ao's talent in martial arts and was already very, very strong.

After Ying Que helped him draw bones and veins, although he could not reach the level of Princess Liyang, he could reach the level of Ning Daoyi.

Shen Lingluo is one of his own and is already the chief officer of the Tianshui Provincial Navy. Although martial arts is not very important, mental strength is very important.

Therefore, Yingque also painted her bones and pulses.

It can greatly improve her brain thinking and mental strength, making her a better naval commander.

After these three important things happened, he hugged the child almost every day.

Every day, I do some unspeakable things with Ji Fan.

An average of three times a day.

It seems that he wants to make up for all the debt he owed before.

A full week later, Zhen Fan reluctantly left Zhenhai City and headed for the dark realm of the White Bone Territory.

Because, the research on the dark crystal cannon has entered the most critical part.

The most rudimentary drawings are almost completed.

However, Mu Hongyu, Nangong Rou, Mi Yuyi, and a few children were also left together, and they all left Zhenhai City and headed for the Bone Collar.

From this alone, we know that Zhenhai City may not be safe next.

"Go ahead, my husband will be counting on you from now on." Yingque kissed Zhifan and said, "I'm optimistic about you."

……………………………………………

The ultimatum given by Ying Que and Prince Lian to Sky Bookstore is November 19th.

And now it is November 13th.

Ying Que, Prince Lian, Ning Daoyi, Duke Xia Yan, and Shen Wuzhuo were having a meeting.

"His Majesty the Emperor has left seclusion, and the Empress has given birth to a prince. Emperor Longfeng and General Qingxi have already left for the capital. The day after tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor will go to the Ancestral Temple to worship heaven. Can King Zhennan find time to go?"

Yingque shook his head and said, "I don't have to go."

Prince Lian nodded and said, "Then I'll go there and come back immediately after completing the heaven-sacrifice ceremony."

Duke Xia Yan said: "Xiao Que, based on your judgment, what decision will Sky Bookstore make?"

Ying Que said: "Now, there are three possibilities."

"The first possibility is that Sky Bookstore will be tough to the end and will not recognize my victory and will not supervise the implementation of the Zhenhai Agreement. Our army will attack Yingzhou and recapture Tianshui Province by force, and a great civil war will break out in the Eastern world."

"The second possibility is that Sky Bookstore compromises, recognizes my victory, and supervises King Mi's implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement." However, King Mi does not obey. Our army attacks Yingzhou and recaptures Tianshui Province by force. Sky Bookstore's fate will not be made public. But secretly support King Mi."

"The third possibility is that Sky Bookstore compromised and supervised the implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement", but King Mi disobeyed at first, and our army attacked Yingzhou. Then King Mi's attitude changed instantly, and then started the next wave of battles, entering an unprecedented battlefield."

Duke Xia Yan said: "The third result looks the best."

Ying Que said: "No, Duke Xia Yan, the third possibility is actually the worst, because the new struggle that will arise will be even more terrifying."

"But let's prepare for the worst. We don't want to be full of fantasy like the Jiang family in Sky Bookstore!"

Duke Xia Yan said: "The worst plan? Isn't it just that a war breaks out? It doesn't matter."

Ying Que said: "Brother Yan, this is not just a war, but a more intense and terrifying political struggle that shakes the foundation of the country."

"However, in the final analysis, isn't it just a war? As you said, what is coming will always come, just be prepared, it doesn't matter."

A few hours later, Ying Que came to Zhenhai City, surrounded by thousands of bones.

This time, he was going to change the fate of three thousand Bone Warriors and build the most powerful Bone Army.

…………………………………………

November 13th.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was punished by the Queen Mother and disappeared for nearly half a year, finally appeared in public.

Because Emperor Long Reng of the Dongyi Empire and the general Qingxi came to visit.

The young emperor Long Reng wanted to kneel down, but failed three times and was forcibly lifted up.

Then, he submitted his credentials to His Majesty the Emperor, intending to downgrade it to the Dongyi Kingdom and profess tribulation to the Great Xia Empire.

However, His Majesty the Emperor refused again, saying that the Daxia Empire and the Dongyi Empire were brotherly countries, how could they be regarded as ministers?

Emperor Longreng repeatedly submitted his credentials, but the emperor refused to accept them.

November 15th.

His Majesty the Emperor led the civil and military ministers to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Celebrate Zhennan Wang's victory in Kyoto and grant amnesty to the world.

The Emperor of the Dongyi Empire, Long Reng, also appeared at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and was in the first position below the emperor, even further forward than Prince Lian.

After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the people of the capital were excited.

There will be a meeting the next day.

His Majesty the Emperor publicly announced an ultimatum to Sky Book City.

On November 19th, if Sky Bookstore does not recognize Yingque's victory and does not supervise the implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement", then the Daxia Empire will take all actions and use force to regain the Tianshui Province.

In the face of such a powerful Emperor, no one from the civil and military officials dared to object.

…………………………………………

November 19th!

The deadline has arrived!

Sky Bookstore Jiang Shouzong, Zhennan King Yingque, Prince Lian, and King Mi once again held a final meeting in the hall of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

This time!

This is the final deadline for Sky Bookstore to express its stance.

At this time, outside the Marquis Mansion of Zhenhai, there were countless scholars and people surrounding him.

There were tens of thousands of people, densely packed and dark.

Everyone is waiting for the final results.

If Sky Bookstore still refuses to admit it, then countless scholars in the world will definitely launch another siege.

Prince Lian said slowly: "Jiang Shouzong, the deadline has come. How is Sky Bookstore's response?"

Jiang Shouzong stood up slowly and said: "Sky Book City recognizes the great victory of Zhennan King Ying Que in regaining Kyoto. And the Holy Lord of Sky Book City will also commend Ying Que and confer Ying Que as an honorary member of the Academic Attainment Committee."

"Yingque's victory this time is not only a victory for the Great Xia Empire, but also a victory for the entire Eastern world."

"Sky Bookstore calls on all civil servants and generals to learn from Commissioner Yingque."

"In addition, Sky Bookstore also recognizes the "Zhenhai Agreement" and is willing to supervise the implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement" and urges King Mi to return the Tianshui Province to Yingque unconditionally."

Adjust your work and rest schedule. My insomnia is so severe that I only slept for five hours scattered throughout the day. Keep working hard.
