Chapter 1479: Chapter 1480: It’s Best If the Whole World Knows

Gong Juechen merely fell silent, then shifted his gaze from An Jing, looking towards Xiao Changyi, hoping Xiao Changyi would have a way to help him win over Ye Zhi and persuade her to marry him.

But Xiao Changyi ignored him completely, not even glancing at him.

Gong Juechen: ”...” Is the heavens tormenting me?

...

While An Jing was still eating, over at the military camp, Qi Tengfei had already spread the news that Qi Gaoda and Du Aya would marry upon returning to the Capital, causing almost the entire army to know about Qi Gaoda and Du Aya’s matter.

In Qi Tengfei’s view, this was a great joy; his foster daughter becoming his daughter-in-law, ties becoming even closer, naturally, he was extremely happy and wanted to share with everyone so they could be happy too.

Du Aya was already renowned in the military, and now she was famous once more... Even though Du Aya looked like a man and not at all like a woman, yet everyone was very supportive of the pairing of Du Aya and Qi Gaoda, feeling that Du Aya and Qi Gaoda standing together looked perfectly matched.

The happiest of all was Qi Gaoda.

Originally worried it would take a long time to finalize with Du Aya, he didn’t expect it would happen so quickly.

Now, his father helped him publicize it, the whole army knew about him and Du Aya, naturally, no one would dare to covet his future wife Du Aya, for this, he was especially grateful to his father.

Liu Feifei, upon hearing that Du Aya and Qi Gaoda smoothly came together and even received blessings from the entire army, felt particularly envious.

Hardly anyone knew about her and Liu Buli’s matter; she wished to be openly blessed and supported by many like Du Aya, and hoped to marry her beloved upon returning to the Capital.

...

Chilin attempted to recapture Jingye City but failed disastrously, in a stand-off with one defending and one attacking, Chilin lost nearly a million soldiers. In Xiao Changyi’s view, the Emperor of Chilin probably would not send troops to attack Jingye City again.

From the Emperor of Chilin’s imperial decree forcibly conscripting soldiers, it was evident Chilin had few troops left, and these hastily trained conscripted soldiers sent to the battlefield were completely ineffectual, posing no real threat.

However, many beasts still roamed near the mountains, devouring corpses, so the military camp remained highly alert.

The fire pits around the river had never been extinguished.

Following An Jing’s plan, Xiao Changyi had already sent many people to infiltrate other cities of Chilin to spread the notion that ’Chilin being obliterated by Xiyun is also destiny, soon Chilin will face upheaval to reveal heaven’s will’.

Moreover, Xiao Changyi also disseminated this theory in Jingye City and Xilin City, allowing everyone to spread it mouth by mouth, hoping the entire realm would hear about it.

While Xiao Changyi was spreading theories of destiny, An Jing and Ye Zhi didn’t idle; the two continued to develop explosives.

Finally, on March 24th, they concocted the required amount of explosives.

Also, on this day, the Emperor of Chilin learned not only had Jingye City not been recaptured, but the great general Qian Taiwen had died in battle there, and even more, over fifty thousand troops were lost.

Just two battles cost him a million soldiers.

Feeling Chilin on the brink of collapse, the Emperor of Chilin was furious. Coincidentally, Linghe was nestled in his arms, and he vented his anger on Linghe, grabbing Linghe’s hair and forcing her head back, brutally slapping her, leaving Linghe’s face swollen and red, with blood at the corners of her mouth.

Furthermore, the Emperor of Chilin furiously cursed Linghe, ”It’s you, the wretched woman! If not for you, I wouldn’t have killed Su Haoyu, leading to war between the two nations! You lost me a million soldiers!”
