The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 76 My father's judgment of people is still quite accurate! (Seeking monthly votes and requests to continue reading)
Yunzhou, Prince Liang's Palace.

Inside the underground palace, Qin Changge sat cross-legged, surrounded by spirit stones.

Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, gave Qin Changge 100,000 spirit stones, which was just enough for his cultivation.

As Qin Changge circulated the "Martial Emperor's Divine Scripture," he himself became like a black hole, continuously devouring the energy emanating from the surrounding spirit stones.

boom!
Suddenly, Qin Changge's body trembled slightly, and a small shackle was broken. Qin Changge broke through from the early stage of the third rank to the middle stage of the third rank!

At this moment, Qin Changge's cultivation level had increased by a small realm, but his combat power had increased significantly.

After reaching the third rank, each advancement will result in an exponential increase in combat power.

After breaking through to the mid-stage of the third rank, Qin Changge's combat power was much stronger than before, and he could run away for several more days.

Qin Changge opened his system panel.

[Name: Qin Changge]

【Age: 18】

[Realm: Third Rank (Sea Removal)]

【Talent: Lightning Martial Soul】

[Cultivation Techniques: Martial Emperor's Divine Scripture (Mastery 60%), Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Mastery 20%)]

[Martial Arts: Treading on the Void Without Trace (Perfect), Horizontal Training Overlord Skill (Perfect)]

[Magic Power: Thunder Hammer (Minor Success 5%)]

[Skills: Divination (Level 2 23%), Talisman (Level 5 100%)]

Witness Points: 20

After breaking through his realm, if Qin Changge wanted to improve further, he could only do so through the "Thunder Hammer of Ten Thousand Jun" divine power or the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique".

After thinking for a moment, Qin Changge decided to upgrade the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique," since the "Thunder Hammer of Ten Thousand Jun" divine power was only one move, and its improvement was limited.

The upgrade to "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique" is more comprehensive.

Qin Changge directly chose to add points.

【Witness Points - 20! 】

[Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Success 20%) → Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Success 40%)!]

After upgrading the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique", Qin Changge walked out of the underground palace.

Improving combat effectiveness requires sparring.

……

The main hall of the Liang Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness." Xiao Dashan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Qin Changge to take the initiative to come out of the underground palace.

Qin Changge beckoned to Xiao Dashan, "Let's practice."

Xiao Dashan nodded. "Your Highness, you must show mercy."

It should be noted that although Xiao Dashan is a fourth-grade external martial artist, Qin Changge is a third-grade external martial artist and also possesses a lightning martial soul.

Even ten Xiao Dashans wouldn't be enough to defeat Qin Changge.

"Understood." Qin Changge nodded.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, both Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan assumed fighting stances.

boom! boom! boom!
Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan were very fast, and they exchanged dozens of blows in a short period of time.

Although Qin Changge was crackling with lightning, Xiao Dashan, being a martial artist who practiced external martial arts, was not afraid of the small amount of lightning.

"How's the situation lately?" Qin Changge asked while fighting.

"I heard that His Majesty has already dispatched troops to punish them," Xiao Dashan replied.

[Witness Emperor Yongchang (Qin Chang'an) dispatching troops to attack Prince Jin (Qin Changqing), Witness Points +10!]

Qin Changge raised an eyebrow. "Take the initiative?"

“Yes.” Xiao Dashan nodded.

Qin Changge was somewhat surprised. Theoretically speaking, it would have been best to wait for Qin Changqing, Qin Changfeng, and Qin Changjian to attack.

After all, Qin Changqing's reputation was built on purging corrupt officials from the court, so he was bound to go to the capital. The real master would keep Qin Changqing and his men busy until Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, could finally deal with them at his own pace.

However, Qin Changge thought again that if someone rebelled and the emperor was forced to defend himself, the whole world would see it and he would probably be completely disgraced.

Authority is still very important!

"It's none of our business," Qin Changge said dismissively, throwing a punch at Xiao Dashan.

Xiao Dashan quickly dodged, and then felt somewhat fortunate, "Our Yunzhou is in such a good location, right on the edge of the Great Qin, so even if it's the imperial court or the rebels, they don't have to pass through our area."

Qin Changge nodded, "Father's judgment of people is quite accurate!"

The fiefdoms of Qin Changqing, Qin Changfeng, and Qin Changjian—Haizhou, Qingzhou, and Taizhou—are all remote places, requiring them to travel thousands of miles to attack the capital.

Therefore, it was quite difficult for them to rebel.

Although Yunzhou, where Qin Changge is located, is also remote, it is fortunate that it is in a triangle with Haizhou and the capital, which means it is not connected to either of them.

Qin Changge can now live her life peacefully.

From this perspective, Emperor Qin Tianlai has been quite good to Qin Changge.

boom! boom! boom!
Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan continued their fight, and Qin Changge became even more adept at using the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique".

My proficiency with the "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique" is also gradually increasing.

……

……

Jingzhou, the main square.

brush!brush!brush!
A flash of white light appeared, and a large contingent of soldiers emerged from the teleportation array.

Minister of War Nie Tiaodeng led an army of 100,000 men to Jingzhou using a teleportation array, and then set out for Haizhou to suppress the rebels.

"Greetings, Minister Nie." Fang Jieyun, the governor of Jingzhou, bowed respectfully to Nie Tiaodeng.

"You're too kind, Governor Fang." Nie Tiaodeng cupped his hands in greeting. "I'll need your cooperation in the future. I'm entrusting the grain and supplies to you."

“Of course,” Fang Jieyun nodded without hesitation.

Now, Jingzhou has become the front line of the battlefield. If Fang Jieyun relaxes his vigilance even slightly, it will soon fall.

At that time, as a governor of a prefecture, Fang Jieyun will definitely be the most miserable, and his head may even be hanging on the city wall.

"Didn't the King of Shu come?" Nie Tiaodeng asked.

Fang Jieyun clasped his hands and said, "The King of Shu never cares about worldly affairs, and only focuses on planting flowers and tending to plants in the palace."

"Very good." Nie Tiaodeng nodded.

“Yes,” Fang Jieyun nodded in agreement.

It's not the prince's indulgence in food, drink, and entertainment that's worrisome; it's his boundless ambition that's truly frightening. Prince Jin, Qin Changqing, is a prime example.

Now we need to deal with King Qin Changqing of Jin. If King Qin Changhe of Shu launches a sudden attack, the situation will become a complete mess.

Therefore, in the secret order that Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an gave to Governor Fang Jieyun, there was also a hint that he was wary of King Shu Qin Changhe.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

"Alright, then I'll be off," Nie Tiaodeng said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"I wish Minister Nie a resounding victory!" Fang Jieyun returned the greeting with clasped hands.

As a veteran, Nie Tiaodeng still had a significant advantage when fighting against Prince Qin Changqing of Jin.

Although Qin Changqing is indeed outstanding as the son of Emperor Qin Tianlai, he is ultimately too young and inexperienced.

We should have results soon.

A swift and decisive victory was the consensus of everyone in the Qin court; otherwise, Qin's enemies, the Han and Chu, might become restless.

In the open space of Jingzhou City, 100,000 troops were neatly lined up.

Nie Tiaodeng raised his clenched right fist and shouted loudly, "We will march on Haizhou, strike straight at the heart of the enemy, and annihilate the bandit leader Qin Changqing!"

"Kill—" The 100,000-strong army roared with overwhelming momentum.
