Peace Order-Chapter 1589 - 27: The Red Emperor’s Decision, Prince Qin Enters the Pass

Chapter 1589: Chapter 27: The Red Emperor’s Decision, Prince Qin Enters the Pass

In the fifteenth year of the Tianqi era, March, beginning.

Prince Qin, escorted by the Nine-colored Divine Deer, arrived in the Western Regions, entering as a traveling merchant. Accompanying him were those planning to return to Anxi City to visit relatives, aiding in the spread of the Central Plains language in the Western Regions was Saatanati, and also Mr. Po Jun.

Po Jun crossed his arms, thirty-three years old, with the corner of his mouth curled upward all the way, never once lowering.

Heh, hehehe, hahahah!

No, nothing!

No sign of that little White!

Hahaha, nothing, nothing!

Mr. Po Jun pressed against his face, nearly bursting into laughter.

"Five years, five years!"

"Finally won, I just knew, I am the strongest, Shaking Light, you’ve lost! Do you submit, do you?"

This time, Po Jun set out for matters concerning the Seventh Prince of the Turkic, Ashina, while Li Guanyi went to retrieve the Life Extending Gu. Upon the vast grasslands, there was also the contemporary second Divine General, the Great Khan of the Turkic, present.

Li Guanyi preferred to avoid conflict with him, yet wasn’t afraid of battle.

Though Shaking Light had great accomplishments in Mystical Skills, the Divine General and rulers, battling of Qi Fortune, still highly restrained the means of the Three Sects of the World. Without the silver-haired girl accompanying, Mr. Po Jun’s mouth couldn’t unbend.

The same symptoms appeared with Whale Hunter.

Until the silver-haired girl hugged Li Guanyi at that moment.

Buried her face in Li Guanyi’s bosom with a ’puh’ sound.

Mr. Po Jun’s and Whale Hunter’s mouths both dropped with a ’pa’ sound.

Laughing, laughing...

Couldn’t laugh anymore.

"Please, return safely."

Silver-haired girl released Li Guanyi, her voice calm, said:

"I will pray to the stars in the sky for you."

Li Guanyi came back to his senses, looked at the amulet given by Shaking Light in his hand, tucked it into his chest, the imposing Anxi City was already visible in the distance, Prince Qin arrived personally, but didn’t announce publicly, just sent Saatanati to the Anxi Protectorate.

Mr. Po Jun also took his leave, and Li Guanyi then turned to head to Xiyi City.

He had spoken with Changsun Wuchou beforehand.

Upon arriving at Xiyi City, Li Zhaowen was already waiting on the mountain thirty li away, Li Guanyi saw Li Zhaowen in high spirits, the constant melancholy between her brows dissipated, happy for her as well.

After meeting, the two had a drink and didn’t dwell on it.

Others like Li Shude, Li Jianwen, Li Guanyi did not see, the two were drinking in the City Lord Mansion of Xiyi City at present, Li Zhaowen wore only casual clothes, standing tall and graceful, talked and laughed, feigned anger, and said:

"Though I gave you my letter, I waited for several months."

"His Highness Prince Qin, really quite ostentatious."

Li Guanyi sighed with a smile, said: "Great affairs in the world, turmoil everywhere, being able to arrive here in this time is fast enough, how can it be said to be slow."

Li Zhaowen gazed deeply at Li Guanyi, bumped his shoulder, laughed, and said:

"Big doctrines, spouting them as if they’re set phrases, penalty drink!"

"Penalty drink!"

She sat beside, the wind of the Western Regions, already removed boots, wearing just silk socks on the ground, like a hero in the martial world, left leg bent up, right leg stepping, right arm propped on right leg knee, raised a hand to grab the silver-crafted wine jug on the table, poured wine for Prince Qin.

Li Guanyi sat calmly, tilted his neck, and drank up.

The two drank heartily, as Changsun Wuchou crouched outside the main hall, face full of conflict.

Is this situation good, or not?

Will I, spying here, be kicked out?

After struggling for a long time, he could only sigh, unlike two years ago, now it’s the world’s Prince Qin, and the Duke of Xiyi City, he didn’t know the relationship between the two, not his place to ponder, only to lament.

After drinking, Li Zhaowen and Li Guanyi discussed the strategic importance of Xiyi City.

Occupying this place would seize the initiative for the future war of unifying the world.

Can advance or retreat, then the great trend of the world, the opportunity for unification, lies in our hands.

Li Zhaowen was enthusiastic, Li Guanyi only said: "Regrettably, now requires recuperation, continuous wars, the people suffer too much." Li Zhaowen raised her brows, said: "Exactly, but this place here."

She extended a finger, drew a circle on the geographical map.

Encircling the surroundings of Xiyi City.

Paused, and expanded this circle further.

Including Turkic, Chen Country, Ying Country within it.

Li Guanyi couldn’t help but loudly laugh at her:

"You, oh you, how is your ambition bigger than mine?!"

Li Zhaowen did not retreat, only smiled and said:

"If my ambition weren’t bigger than Prince Qin’s, how could I stand shoulder to shoulder with Prince Qin in this world?"

Xiyi City was the realm Jiang Wanxiang, in her youth, established to step into the Western Regions, but conversely, it could also be the stepping-stone for the current Prince Qin occupying the Western Regions to step into the Central Plains.

Li Zhaowen, holding a wine cup, tilted her neck to drink, casually picked up a white chess piece, placed it around Xiyi City, contemplated this most perfect [initiative], yet there was a clear regret in her eyes, she said:

"Only it’s a pity, Xiyi City is too important, even if we occupy it, once we move against Chen Country, Turkic, Ying Country will all come to attack here."

Li Guanyi pondered for a long time, left hand pinching the black chess piece, right hand holding the wine cup, said:

"In my enfeoffment as a king, Jiang Wanxiang once sent an envoy, stating that they wished to form an alliance with us, jointly attacking Chen Country. If she follows this agreement, we can first break through Chen Country."

Li Guanyi’s fingers pressed on Chen Country, looking at the position of Guan Yi City.

Deeply gazing there.

Li Zhaowen watched him, not knowing what the young Prince Qin’s eyes were seeing.

Yet still a bit unreconciled, even she didn’t know why she felt this.

Li Guanyi was just watching.

By his ears, he heard the cry of a phoenix. His hand, able to draw a bow, grasp a spear, reached out, grabbing the Prince Qin’s collar, gently exerting force, pulling him over. Li Guanyi turned his head, with the Duke of Xiyi City who was smiling mischievously, said:

"Prince Qin, oh Prince Qin, since you’re here."

"How can you still think about others?"

"When conversing, looking the partner in the eye, instead of staring elsewhere, is proper etiquette, here... should not be looking elsewhere."

Li Zhaowen smiled, holding the wine cup, arm extending like unsheathing a sword.

White fingertips caressed the jade wine cup, unsure whether the person or the jade was more beautiful.

The cup touched Li Guanyi’s lips, moved slightly.

Personally feeding the wine.

The night-glow cup filled with fine grape wine, battlefield heroes, cavalry live to the fate of the world.

While feeding wine, her pinky slid beneath Prince Qin’s lips, there was a slightly gentler warmth compared to a man’s daughter, the marks left from holding weapons, a delicate and clear sensation.

A cup of wine down the throat like a flame, Li Zhaowen slightly turned the held cup, leaning forward, she was the tallest woman Li Guanyi had ever seen, even measuring in her past life, she would be at least over one meter seventy, could wear battle armor, a jade hairpin, yet had a resolute demeanor.

Holding the wine cup, casually flipped it aside.

Then the hand that fed the wine, with unhurried ease, lightly backed behind her.

Smiling composedly:

"Look at me."
