Time passed slowly and changes began to appear.

Li Xingchen, the leader of the faceless men in the Great Earthquake, has secretly talked with all the old subordinates of King Qi.

Although some people have retired, they basically retired and concentrated on practicing. Such old guys have a higher status.

In addition, there was an undercurrent surging in King Qi's fiefdom, and the initial mobilization of grain and grass had begun to occur.

From talismans to various elixirs, weapons to magic weapons, after the mobilization began, even if there was no large-scale purchase of things on the market, the prices began to rise unconsciously.

The King of Qi, who was still in the capital, had already asked Emperor Zhen to resign on the pretext that the death anniversary of the old King Qi was approaching and the day of ancestor worship held once every ten years in the King of Qi's family was also coming.

With this impeccable reason, unless the sky falls, no one can stop him.

As the King of Qi began to secretly mobilize troops and accumulate strength, he was ready to find any excuse to cause friction with Dali at the border, and then start fighting directly.

As long as there is a war on the border, there will be someone to respond immediately, and then Emperor Zhen will be unable to stop fighting even if he wants to.

On the Dali side, the northern army has been guarding the border, and the Xihuang Army, a mobile force, has also begun to reorganize its military equipment and is ready to leave at any time.

A war is about to break out.

At the same time, the troops guarding Daqian and the northern part of Daqian have also received secret orders and begun to make preparations.

In the Daqian Palace, the second prince stood on the side, looking at his superior, Emperor Qian.

"Father, this is a perfect opportunity. There have been quarrels within Daquan all day long, and the main war faction has gradually gained the upper hand.

In the case of the great earthquake, in order to recover the lost territory and fight the war, we were only on the verge of getting there.

If I can make up for it now, no one can stop me.

I am willing to go to the earthquake in person and lobby the emperor to shake it."

The second prince gritted his teeth and took the risk. At this time, he had to spend money and take risks.

He knew in his heart that if Emperor Qian stayed in seclusion for a long time, he would definitely not let the prince supervise the country and be assisted by other princes and ministers like before.

Based on the past struggles of these people, if Emperor Qian had not left seclusion for hundreds of years, he would not have been interested in worldly affairs.

The fight between them will definitely mess up Da Gan.

Qianhuang's retreat was all about external stability and not having anything major happen to interrupt his retreat.

And for the same reason of stability, it is most logical for the prince to supervise the country and be assisted by the courtiers, without other princes having anything to do.

This is almost equivalent to letting the prince succeed to the throne.

The prince may not dare to find trouble and kill him, but if he cuts off his wings, he will certainly not hold back.

By then, alone, he will undoubtedly die.

It is better to take risks now, lobby for a big earthquake, form an alliance, and attack the country from both sides. It will be beneficial to everyone.

Then he went to the army and achieved military exploits.

Having military exploits, but secondly, being able to legitimately start to contact the generals in the army and entering and exiting the border army camps is the key.

In this way, even if the worst-case scenario were to let the prince oversee the country alone, the prince would not dare to do anything to him, and everyone could continue to fight.

The problem now is that if he leaves the Daqian territory, he will definitely be in danger.

But this risk is far less than the risk of total failure in the future.

The second prince knelt down on one knee and asked for orders to go to war.

Emperor Qian looked at the second prince with calm eyes. He stared at him for a long time, waved his hand, and a token fell into the hands of the second prince.

"Then you go on a mission to make a big earthquake."

"My son, take your orders!"

The second prince held the token and slowly retreated.

Back at the mansion, a group of staff were trying to persuade the second prince that this move was too risky.

Based on the fight between the princes of Daqian, him leaving the territory of Daqian is almost equivalent to telling others to come and assassinate them quickly.

"Stop talking, what do you know? Now it's a dangerous time that we have to do something.

I just want someone to assassinate me, but it would be bad if no one comes.

If your father wants stability, then I will give him stability.

So that my father can retreat in peace."

The second prince scolded everyone, he knew best.

All achievements and praises from courtiers are all vain.

He couldn't be like the Prince of Dali, who advanced to the ninth level in more than a hundred years and overpowered all the princes to hold their heads high.

It was absolutely impossible for Emperor Li not to choose her.

Then he could only figure out Qianhuang's thoughts and follow Qianhuang's thoughts.

Doesn't Emperor Qian want to retreat with peace of mind? Then create conditions for him.

By then, Emperor Qian could still let the prince supervise the country, but he began to have enough power in his hands, and the prince could not move him.

When the time comes and there is still a stalemate, that is the best situation.

If not, after the prince takes charge of the country, if he can't help but start suppressing other princes, maybe some of them can't bear it anymore, and they will kill everything and cause a major event that alarms the emperor.

This time Emperor Qian gave him a token, which was the best proof.

He guessed right, Emperor Qian just wanted to retreat in peace of mind so that he could successfully break through to the tenth level in the future.

And these careless princes are the biggest factor of instability.

He took the initiative to take a step back and went out to take risks to do things, which was in line with Emperor Qian's wishes.

The second prince only spent one day making final preparations, and the next day he announced that his practice had reached a critical moment and he would need to stay in seclusion for some time.

Then, the people here quietly left the capital and went all the way east, preparing to go all the way north from the sea to the big earthquake.

Crossing Dali, forget it.

If he died in Dali, it would be easy to pass the blame.

The three large ships headed north from the East China Sea and moved forward separately.

On the first day after leaving the Daqian territory, I saw a whirlpool suddenly appear on the surface of the East China Sea. A big sea monster rolled up the sea water, turned into huge waves, and swallowed a building and ship into the bottom of the sea.

On the fourth day, the remaining two building ships had arrived in the sea area of ​​​​the earthquake. One of the building ships disappeared silently on the sea. It was swallowed up by the large formation arranged in advance and disappeared without a trace.

The last building boat safely arrived at the port in the eastern part of the earthquake, but this building boat was just an ordinary merchant ship, and it was also used to confuse people.

No one tracked down where the real second prince went.

Just when everyone who came to pursue them gave up, a small businessman in the merchant ship quietly left with two followers.

"Master, the other two waves of goods can't arrive."

"Well, let's go."

He lost two large ships in a row, and he actually had no plans to come with the third ship.

It was only halfway through that he made a temporary decision and quietly boarded the ship.

Arriving all the way to the earthquake capital, the second prince quietly surrendered and went to the Faceless Man's station.

That night, someone led him to see Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen just took one look and confirmed that the person who came was indeed the second prince of Daqian. He was a little surprised. This second prince was very courageous and he was really not afraid of accidentally falling outside.

"Your Highness is here in person. What do you mean?"

"I want to see Emperor Zhen to discuss important matters."

"Your Highness, you can tell me first."

"I, Da Gan, are willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Da Li to contain Da Li's troops and give Daquan a chance to regain the lost territory."

Li Xingchen looked at the second prince, his eyes slightly condensed.

"Does His Highness mean what he says?"

"I accepted the order of my father and took the risk to go north. Isn't it sincere enough? I, Dagan, can contain all the troops in the south and east of Dali.

This is a win-win situation. We are attacking from both sides. It will be much easier for Daquake to regain the lost ground.

It is not a bad idea to continue to advance south. By then, the difficulties caused by the earthquake will be resolved on their own.

Time is limited, you'd better report to Emperor Zhen as early as possible.

If there is a big earthquake on the border and a war breaks out, then the conditions will not be so generous."

Li Xingchen cupped his hands and turned to leave.

He naturally knows what the big earthquake is like now.

I also know the changes in the border and the changes in the fiefdom of King Qi.

Even the second prince of Da Gan knew all about these things, so it wasn't just a question of whether intelligence was leaked.
