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

Chapter 78 Inviting the Ancestor to Come Out of Seclusion (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)
Jingzhou, the governor's residence.

In the hall, Prince Qin Changqing of Jin sat in the main seat, calmly looking at Prince Qin Changhe of Shu in front of him.

"Ninth Brother, what brings you here?"

Prince Qin Changqing looked at Qin Changhe with a hint of mockery. You see, no matter how much he tried to win Qin Changhe over before, Qin Changhe was unwilling to pledge allegiance to him.

Now, Qin Changhe has arrived uninvited.

Qin Changhe said respectfully, "My second brother has come all this way, so of course I, as his younger brother, should come and see him."

Qin Changqing smiled and shook his head. "No need to beat around the bush. We're brothers, and I know that perfectly well."

Qin Changhe's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.

Qin Changqing is a man of courage and resourcefulness with a clear goal, making him arguably the most difficult person to deal with.

Seeing Qin Changhe's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, Qin Changqing stood up with a smile and patted Qin Changhe on the shoulder.

“Ninth Brother, you still don’t understand. Who are your enemies and who are your friends?” Qin Changqing said calmly.

Qin Changhe was stunned when he heard this.

Qin Changqing declared with boundless pride, "I guarantee that from now on, your good days will be ten times, a hundred times, greater than before!"

"Being a prince under me is much better than being a dog kept in a pen under the fourth prince, isn't it?"

After saying this, Qin Changqing calmly said, "Go back. Don't worry that I will kill you, and I'm not worried that I will harm you. When I have established my rule over the world, I will hand over the military power of Jingzhou to you!"

Qin Changhe was somewhat moved upon hearing this.

"Then Ninth Brother will take his leave." Qin Changhe bowed deeply to Qin Changqing.

"Yes." Qin Changqing accepted this great gift with composure.

……

……

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an, Prince Wu Qin Changxiao, and Prince An Qin Changliu all had somewhat serious expressions.

"Jingzhou has fallen?"

Qin Changxiao said in disbelief, "The battle hasn't even started yet, and Jingzhou is already gone?"

Qin Changliu's face was grim. "It is said that they colluded with outsiders to lure the Haizhou soldiers into the city."

"The second brother is really scheming!" Qin Chang'an said calmly.

At this moment, both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu were looking at Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an. The current situation was actually quite bad.

The imperial army's 100,000 elite troops were completely surrounded and wiped out by the rebels.

Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Taizhou, and Haizhou all fell into the hands of Prince Qin Changqing of Jin.

Half of the country has fallen.

Emperor Qin Chang'an needs to start to feel a sense of crisis.

"Fourth Brother, do you have any ideas?" Qin Changliu asked Qin Chang'an.

Qin Changxiao also looked at Qin Chang'an with anticipation. After all, Qin Chang'an had a clever mind, so he should have a way, right?
Qin Chang'an smiled and said, "Now we can only ask our ancestor to take action."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu were somewhat taken aback. They wanted to ask their ancestor to take action.
Qin Chang'an nodded. "If we quickly take down Second Brother, Fifth Brother, and Eighth Brother, then everything will become a farce, a child's play."

Both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu hesitated.

Will our ancestor intervene?

Qin Chang'an calmly replied, "Of course!"

……

……

A mountain range adjacent to the palace, this is a royal forbidden area.

Many of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty secluded themselves here, hoping to break through to a higher realm.

At the same time, they are also the true foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, how could other dynasties have remained indifferent when the Holy Martial Emperor Qin Tian ascended to heaven?

The reason is that Qin Tianlai is unconventional; whether he is present or not does not affect the tripartite division of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Chu Dynasty.

Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, arrived here.

"Emperor Yongchang, Qin Chang'an, requests that the Ancestor come out of seclusion to quell the rebels!"

Qin Chang'an held the ancestral laws of the Qin Dynasty in both hands and shouted towards a continuous mountain range.

Just then, an old voice rang out.

“Your father has instructed us not to concern ourselves with the struggles between you brothers.”

Qin Chang'an held the ancestral edict of the Great Qin Dynasty in both hands, saying, "The Great Qin Dynasty is in grave danger. Now is the time for our ancestor to come out of seclusion. Please, ancestor, come out of seclusion!"

The aged voice sounded impatient. "Your father definitely told you, and you definitely promised your father. Now you're going back on your word!"

Qin Chang'an remained expressionless. "Chang'an dares to ask the Ancestor a question: which is more effective, my father's words or the ancestral system of the Great Qin?"

The aged voice was somewhat silent.

Then another powerful voice rang out.

"You even schemed against your own father, the Emperor. With all your cunning, how come you can't beat your second brother?"

Qin Chang'an remained unfazed. "My second brother is ruthless and unscrupulous. There are some methods I would never stoop to. If I hadn't hastily ascended to the throne, my second brother would never have forced me to this point."

It should be understood that although Qin Chang'an is intelligent, it will always take time for him to consolidate the power of the imperial court.

Qin Changqing didn't give Qin Chang'an any time at all.

"Hmph, didn't you send your own imperial envoy to his death and trigger all of this?" the old voice mocked.

Qin Chang'an remained calm.

"If this drags on, I will gain control of the court's power, and my second brother will inevitably have a strong army. In that case, internal strife within the Qin Dynasty will only benefit the Han and Chu dynasties for no reason."

"So, you've been plotting against us from beginning to end, and you want us to clean up the mess?" The old voice was somewhat displeased.

"Yes!" Qin Chang'an said calmly.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't stoop to certain methods?" the aged voice mocked.

Qin Chang'an said calmly, "What's wrong with the rules set by the Great Qin Ancestor?"

A moment of silence fell over the royal forbidden area.

After a long while, a sound rang out—

"Fine, I'll go to Jingzhou then."

……

……

Yunzhou, Prince Liang's Palace.

boom! boom! boom!
Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan fought continuously, honing their martial arts skills.

"Alright, let's take a break." Qin Changge stopped.

Looking at my system panel.

The improvement of "Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique" is quite significant.

Qin Changge immediately started adding points.

【Witness Points - 10! 】

[Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Success 80%) → Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Minor Success 90%)!]

We are not far from achieving our goal.

Qin Chang'an looked at Xiao Dashan, "Have you rested enough? Let's go again!"

Xiao Dashan had no choice but to follow.

Just then, the sweeper outside ran in.

"Your Highness, the Governor requests your presence, saying there is an extremely urgent matter."

Qin Changge immediately stopped what she was doing.

Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge and asked, "Your Highness, could it be that Prince Jin and his men have attacked?"

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan, "With Fourth Brother being so smart and the imperial court having such a great advantage, how could it possibly affect us?"

"What if?" Xiao Dashan said.

"Then I'll have to run away as soon as possible," Qin Changge said.

Xiao Dashan was speechless. He had thought Qin Changge had changed his ways, but it turned out that Qin Changge had already packed his bags and was ready to run away at any time.
