Final Volume

The Shuangtang County was located to the north of the Chuan Country.

To the south of Shang Jing was the Chuan Country of the Thunder Ze Country, and to the south was the Sui County, while to the south of the Suzhou County was the Shuangtang County. There were many tall mountains and lofty ridges within the Shuangtang County Realm. There was also a very famous and exceptionally important barrier, the Xuangu Pass.

If one were to block the Xuangu Pass, it would be equivalent to breaking the connection between the Xuangu Pass of the three counties and the Chuan Country of the continent. Of course, as long as the Feng Country could take over the Xuangu Pass, it was equivalent to cutting off three counties of the Chuan Country in an instant, then the advantage the Feng Country would have over the Chuan Country would become even greater.

Tang Yin was very clear in his heart, although Xiao Xuan's sudden death would cause the people from the Chuan Country to be in chaos, but the strength of the Chuan Country was still there, so it was impossible for the Feng Country to defeat the huge being called Chuan Country in a short period of time.

If he were to take control of the Xuangu Pass, then the Feng Country would no longer be a threat to him. After that, when the Feng Country came out again in the future, it would be a flat land, and there would be no more dangers for the Chuan Country to defend.

Therefore, Tang Yin set the target of this attack as Shuangtang County, which was actually sweeping away the land. What he wanted the most was precisely Xuangu Pass.

Liang Qi looked at the map and nodded his head, then said: "The Xuangu Pass within the Shuangtang County is a place that every soldier must fight for, and it is also the only path which the Chuan Country must take to connect the three countries in the north of the country. It is just that, after the death of the King Chuan, the Chuan Country has just been given way to the capital, and our country has suddenly launched an attack, it is truly a place with no names!"

Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu also nodded their heads, indicating that Liang Qi was right. If they were to send troops, they had to at least have a good name, so that they could become the masters of justice.

Tang Yin heard and laughed indifferently: "Your Chuan Country has dominated Shang Jing for so long, could it be that you really haven't taken a single coin from Shang Jing, a treasure? We can ask for it from the Chuan Country first, if we are unable to hand over the Chuan Country, wouldn't that mean that we have made a name for ourselves? "

"Your Majesty, you mean ?" Everyone looked at Tang Yin at the same time.

Tang Yin asked Wu Ying: "How much taxes does Shang Jing have in a year?"

Wu Ying was startled, she anxiously took out her small booklet and read it carefully, after confirming, she said sternly: "Reporting to the King, the annual taxes in Shang Jing is close to 10 million taels."

Tang Yin said: "It has already been four to five years since the Son of Heaven left, and in these four to five years, just the tax revenue alone was reduced by a few tens of millions, in addition, the treasures lost in the palace has already been calculated to be innumerable, adding up to almost a hundred thousand, this amount of money should be given by Chuan Country alone!"

The Chuan Country had only occupied Shang Jing for more than a year, yet they had to pay one hundred thousand silver taels for it. How could the Chuan Country be such a scammer? Xiao Muqing said: "Great King, Chuan Country will definitely not accept such a request."

"Thus, our country has a justifiable reason to send troops to suppress them." Tang Yin laughed and said, "If your Chuan Country is not willing to pay the hundred thousand silver, then let's use the three countries, Lei Ze, Yi Su and Shuang to pay the debt!"

So this is what the King meant by 'famous master'. Everyone looked at each other and slowly nodded their heads. They believed that this plan was feasible.

Seeing that no one objected, Tang Yin felt even more confident. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled."

As he spoke, he looked towards Xiao Muqing and said: "Muqing, immediately order us to cultivate this technique, pass it down to the Imperial Court of Chuan Country, limit it to one month, we must return one hundred thousand silvers. If we do not pay within the time limit, we have to bear the consequences."

"Yes!" "Great King!" Xiao Muqing cupped his hands and replied.

Very quickly, Tang Yin's letter had reached the Chuan Country city. The current Zhaoyang City was a mess, and people in the imperial court were panicking. Seeing the letter that was suddenly sent by, was undoubtedly adding oil to the snow.

Ten thousand silver was nothing to the wealthy and powerful Chuan Country, but the key problem was that the reason for Feng Country was not convincing. The Chuan Country had occupied Shang Jing for more than a year, but during this period, the amount of taxes that Chuan Country received was pitifully small, at most a mere few million silver. Moreover, in the time that Chuan Country was in charge of Shang Jing, he had managed to govern Shang Jing neatly. Even if there were no merits, there were still hardships, so even if it was not appreciated by the people of the world, how could he exchange it with money?

Fifth Princess Xiao Xiang was the first Royal Family who stood out to oppose this, and thought that Feng Country was an opportunity to extort him, so Chuan Country definitely could not agree to this matter. However, Second Young Master Xiao Yuan's opinion was at odds with hers, she believed that King Father had just died of an illness, and his Chuan Country was in a state of grief. If he were to get into conflict with Feng Country at this time, Chuan Country would not benefit his at all, and if he were to attract the Feng Army again, the final loss to Chuan Country would not be just the one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Xiao Xiang and Xiao Yuan's attitudes were both very hard. One of them thought that they could not accept the extortion method from the Feng Country, while the other thought that they should avoid any disasters and settle things peacefully. The ministers in the palace were also split into two factions, one supported Xiao Xiang and the other supported him.

Due to Xiao Xuan's sudden death, he did not make a will, who would inherit the throne, and who did not, this was also the main reason why the Imperial Court of Chuan Country was panicking.

Moreover, how to deal with the Feng Country request for one hundred thousand silver, had become the crux of the struggle for the throne. Regardless of whether it was a young master or a princess, if they could handle this matter properly, they would definitely win the hearts and prestige of the people.

At this time, the usually indifferent Second Young Master Xiao Yuan suddenly became more active, lobbying all the ministers in the court to support his idea. He first fulfilled the requirements of the Feng Country, and then when the Chuan Country stabilized, he would seek revenge.

Under Xiao Yuan's active persuasion, many of the ministers had changed their positions and stood by Xiao Yuan's side. On the imperial court, the voices that were compromising to the Feng Country were getting louder and louder.

This time, it was able to request ten thousand silver from you. If you accept, the next time it will ask for twenty thousand, thirty thousand silver or even more, don't tell me that Chuan Country will continue to compromise?

It was a pity that most of the people in the Chuan Country Hall were civil servants, so after being threatened by Xiao Yuan, many people did not dare to maintain their unyielding attitude towards Feng Country. After Xiao Xiang thought about it, he decided to give up on the imperial government and directly search for Chuan Army that had returned to his country from the Divine Pool.

After a long conversation, Xiao Xiang had basically not informed the imperial government. She had only brought her trusted aides to the capital, traveling day and night in large scale prefectures with the return of the Chuan Country army which had returned to the capital.1

When she saw his father's coffin in the army, Xiao Xiang cried loudly. who would have thought that the brilliant King Father would actually die of illness on the way back.

She asked the General of Chuan Country how she passed away.

All of the General of Chuan Country s had faces full of sorrow and helplessness. Zhang Situ said while choking back his sobs, "The King's health has never been good, so on this long journey to the Divine Pool, he worked hard all the way.

"Did the King Father say anything before she died?" Xiao Xiang wiped away the tears on her face and tried her best to calm down.

All of the generals shook their heads. Zhang Situ replied, "Reporting to the princess, before the King's death, he had already been unconscious for several days."

Xiao Xiang sighed secretly. Then, she took out the letter from Feng Country and handed it over to the generals, saying: "I believe Feng Country already knows the news of King Father's illness. Tang Yin wants to seize this opportunity and ask us for a hundred thousand silver."

Ah? All the generals hurriedly gathered forward, carefully reading the contents of the letter. After they finished reading, everyone gasped. Zhang Situ subconsciously clenched his fists and cursed: "Shameless! Damn it! What a shameless Feng Country! "

Bu Ying spoke up from the side: "No wonder a scout reported that the Feng Country had already hoarded an army in Shang Jing. I think that asking for the silver is a fake, and gathering troops to invade our country is the real deal!"

Xiao Xiang's eyes flashed, and she said: "General Bu, if it's really like that, how will we handle it?"

"It's very simple. Either satisfy the Feng Country's requirements and give them a hundred thousand silver, or else, during the bloody battle with the Feng Army, you will not retreat half a step!" Bu Ying said word by word.

Xiao Xiang said faintly: "After hearing the news of King Father's illness, many of the ministers present were already at a loss, and were even more afraid of the Feng Country's military might, as they wished to accept the Feng Country's request. General Bu, in your opinion, should our country accept the Feng Country's request or reject it? "

Bu Ying's face turned serious, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, this lowly general is just a martial husband, I only know how to fight, not the affairs of the nation. However, if Feng Country dares to bring troops to attack, this lowly general will definitely fight to the bloody end with them!"

Xiao Xiang secretly nodded, this was what she wanted to hear. She said: "It's understandable for the ministers to covet peace and quiet, and are not willing to fight, but now that Feng Country is riding on top of my Chuan Country, I cannot tolerate it, only that the throne has not been decided, and I do not have any Soldier Symbol s in my hands. Even if I wanted to fight with Feng Army, I would not be able to command my warriors in the Great River."

After hearing that, all the generals looked at each other, and paused for a few seconds. Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lv You, Bu Ying and the other generals kneeled on one knee, and said with their hands cupped together: "This general is willing to listen to the Princess's orders.

They were both Xiao Xuan's Nearest Minister s, so they could naturally best understand his thoughts. Xiao Xuan had discussed this matter with them more than once. It was a foregone conclusion, but he did not have the time to finish writing the testamentary edict.

In the eyes of the generals, Xiao Xiang was the new king of Chuan Country, and her orders were equivalent to a king. In the eyes of the generals, Feng Country was simply so detestable that it did not even mention late at night when it demanded for silver. Since it had just happened to mention it at the critical juncture of the King's illness, it was obvious that it was taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the others' situation. Feng Country was so shameless, if they did not teach it a lesson this time, who knows how they could change their stance and continue to bully Chuan Country.

Looking at the kneeling generals, Xiao Xiang was emotionally stirred. She could not help but shed tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Generals, quickly rise!"

After everyone had stood up, she continuously took in deep breaths to calm her agitated emotions. Her brows tightly knitted as she said: "General Bu's previous speculation is just as what I thought. The extortion from Feng Army is fake, and the invasion from the army is the real deal. It's just that right now, I am still unable to confirm where the Feng Army will invade and where our country should be garrisoned in."
