Chapter 2355: News Spread (3)

General Ning nodded noncommittally towards Song Yun Xiang’s shameless and confident words.

It contained the truth and she was too lazy to argue.

“Now that the war is over, where do you think our appointment would be if we’re still allowed to fight?” General Ning asked as she cleaned up the board.

“It might be a battle against the northern tribe,” Song Yun Xiang replied. “And in this way, we can also work together with General Yang and General Gao.”

General Yang and General Gao.

General Ning thought about those two people and nodded.

It has been a long time since she last saw them.

“Have you considered retiring?” Song Yun Xiang suddenly asked.

General Ning paused her actions and looked at Song Yun Xiang. Seeing his solemn expression, she arched her eyebrows and then shook her head. “No, I don’t have any plan to retire yet. Why did you suddenly ask?”

“Because you’re no longer that young,” Song Yun Xiang replied.

General Ning chuckled. “I’m still in my twenties, which is good enough. Besides, I don’t really expect to get married after entering the army.”

While it might not be a normal thing in the current time for women not to get married, General Ning didn’t care too much.

She didn’t have any parents or elders who would urge her to get married either.

Her only family member is her brother who would not ask her to get married instead. “Oh.”

“Why do you sound disappointed?”

“I just feel it’s a pity.” Song Yun Xiang smiled. “But if that’s what you want, I’ll respect your decision.”

General Ning looked at Song Yun Xiang in front of her deeply for a moment before retracting her gaze and finished cleaning up the board.

Song Yun Xiang looked at General Ning, deep in thought.

…

Qi Xi Kingdom’s Emperor, Qi Kan Tian, was not surprised when he heard the news of Fei Yang Kingdom’s victory over Fan Yi Kingdom. The war this time didn’t really last that long and Fan Yi Kingdom has been suppressed again and again.

If not because some of them were more capable and familiar with the terrain, they might not last this long either.

Now that Qi Kan Tian was looking over the few reports in front of him, he noticed that the ministers were looking in his direction nervously. It was clear that they were very nervous because Qi Xi Kingdom was basically the only big kingdom left aside from Fei Yang Kingdom. After Fei Yang Kingdom had defeated Fan Yi Kingdom, would it be their turn next? The ministers were worried.

“Do you have anything to say?” Qi Kan Tian put down the reports and looked at the ministers in front of him. The corner of his lips curled up. “If we were to go on a war, how big is our chance of winning?”

The ministers were silent.

They looked at each other and silently lowered their heads.

After the war a few decades ago, Qi Xi Kingdom had never recovered fully. Even now, there were many people who felt that surrendering is a better choice rather than fighting against Fei Yang Kingdom.

Because they didn’t want to increase more of the casualties.

Even though Qi Xi Kingdom had implemented various policies to increase the number of populations and soldiers, it was far from comparable to Fei Yang Kingdom.

They might be called a big kingdom, but Qi Kan Tian knew very well that they were not that much better from many other smaller kingdoms. At most, their territories were slightly larger and they were richer.

But if they had to compare with other big kingdoms back then, they were far from capable. The war had devastated Qi Xi Kingdom.

Of course, when Zhang Xu Kingdom came to them to waged a group war against Fei Yang Kingdom back then, he agreed. Because even if they might not be able to do much, if they could win, they could get a lot of resources.

For Qi Xi Kingdom that was already poor, it was very significant.

Of course, Qi Kan Tian had no interest to truly fight, which was why his own generals were also half paddling in that battle. Their fight were nothing more than performance to show others that they were still on their side.

Only they knew that the power was not that good.

Fei Yang Kingdom could also see Qi Xi Kingdom’s intention at that time, so the picked a weaker opponent for him when his general stepped forward.

Unfortunately, their group of kingdoms lost against Fei Yang Kingdom.

The same tactic that used to destroy Qi Xi Kingdom until it was so miserable were fended off by Fei Yang Kingdom.

If Qi Kan Tian said that he didn’t feel complicated, he would be lying.

Because at that time, he clearly realized that Qi Xi Kingdom’s power when he was young that looked so invisible were actually full of holes. It was Fei Yang Kingdom that grew steadily that finally truly become a real giant.

What was the differences?

The years of accumulation.

The people who fought on the frontline.

The people who stood at the back.

In any directions, Fei Yang Kingdom’s development completely crushed Qi Xi Kingdom and Qi Kan Tian had to accept this.

He sighed deeply and then glanced at the prime minister. “What do you think, Prime Minister

Hao?”

Prime Minister Hao was one of the two prime ministers in Qi Xi Kingdom. He looked at the emperor helplessly and then replied, “Your Majesty, we might not be able to win at all.”

He knew very well that Qi Kan Tian had no intention to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom. Because the power that Fei Yang Kingdom was too much and their own kingdom was very

poor.

Moreover, the situation in the kingdom itself was not very good.

Prime Minister Hao was very clear that if they were to go on a war, the people in Qi Xi

Kingdom would suffer greatly.

If they still have a chance to win, they might take this bet.
