He feinted, used his internal energy to leap up, spinning around his body’s center and disappearing. His high-pitched voice echoed far away: “Man Han Ting, I will definitely return to take your head.”
Hu Yan Nan had betrayed the country. His wife was not a princess of Man Yi Kingdom, but a trap set by Hu Yan Nan and the Man Yi Kingdom’s ruler to deceive the Jin Ri Kingdom’s emperor and launch a massive attack to replace them. Now, Hu Yan Nan had become a laughingstock and object of public contempt.
The 88-year-old Jin Ri Kingdom vanished overnight, with the Jin flag replaced by the Man flag. The entire country reduced taxes for a year, opened trade routes, and promoted commerce. Man Han Ting pacified the Jin Ri Kingdom’s citizens in just half a month. The entire country celebrated, with people caring little about who was emperor or which dynasty ruled. As long as their small interests were served and benefits were plentiful, the emperor’s identity was irrelevant. Patriotic passion was not so intense. Some harbored resentment, but the tide had turned, making resistance futile. They could only think about it internally without action. A small group of patriots wanted to restore the Jin flag, but they quickly dispersed.
Zhao Yeqing helplessly returned to the Famous Sword Manor.
After the change of dynasty, all internal and external affairs of the manor needed to be redeployed and reorganized. Today, all matters were finally settled, but he couldn’t feel happy. His mind was filled with question marks about Dan Xiaoya.
The steward glanced at the distracted Zhao Yeqing and cleared his throat: “Hmm!” effectively bringing Zhao Yeqing back to his senses.
The steward continued: “Young Master, these are the matters of the manor. There is one more thing about the new emperor.”
Zhao Yeqing raised an eyebrow. “New emperor?”
“Yes! The emperor of Manyi Nation, now the ruler of Jin Ri Nation, invites you to the imperial palace as a guest.”
“When?”
“Tomorrow! Are you going?”
“Can I not go? I’ll go! I want to meet him. Prepare ten fist-sized night-luminous pearls as a gift for him.”
“Yes!” The steward said and withdrew.
