One month later, Kyoto.
"Have you heard? The barbarians of the Northern Yi gathered an army of 150,000 and tried to invade our border, but they returned home in disgrace not long after!"
"I know about this. I heard that not long after the war began, the Northern Army used a magical weapon called a 'cannon'. Just one bullet could kill a large number of people and blow a huge hole in the ground!"
"Is this true? With such a powerful weapon, Daliang will have no worries about not being able to wipe out the northern barbarians and unify the world!"
The casual conversation of several guests in the restaurant made Wang Changbo, who was sitting at the next table, excited, and he poured a glass of wine for Sun Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, I never thought that in my lifetime, I would actually see the hope of Daliang unifying the world!"
"Come, let's toast to this hope!"
Sun Qingyuan looked at the silly Wang Changbo with disdain, but finally couldn't stand his eager gaze, so he raised his glass and drank it.
The two of them were drinking pine lao wine, which is made by mixing the finest pine resin with pine flowers and pine leaves, soaked together in rice wine. It has a light and elegant fragrance and is very popular among scholars.
Sun Qingyuan is not a heavy drinker, and after a glass of wine, his eyes became a little blurry.
After Xijiang pretended to surrender, Li Ping, the deputy general of the Western Expedition Army, led his troops into the royal city of Xijiang, and all the royal family of Xijiang were captured.
From then on, there was no more Western Frontier Kingdom in the world, only Huai'en County in Daliang.
When Donghai learned that Xijiang was destroyed, he immediately submitted a petition to become a vassal state of Daliang and sent his princess to Daliang to marry.
The East Sea Kingdom is actually just an island. Its land area is half the size of the West Frontier Kingdom. It has a narrow land area, a sparse population, and a shortage of supplies.
Whether it is Daliang or Beiyi, they can conquer them at any time as long as they want.
To put it bluntly, the reason why they have been slow to pay attention to the East China Sea is that they look down on it.
Now, the Northern Border Army has once again discovered a magical weapon, which has directly scared the Northern Barbarian Army that was coming in full force, and made them flee in terror...
In a short time, Daliang had broken free from the situation of competing with the Northern Barbarians and became the greatest overlord in this world.
Sun Qingyuan poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Soon two red clouds appeared on his face.
He moved his chair towards Wang Changbo, got closer to him, and asked in a very low but bewitching tone:
"Then do you think this hope was brought by this person today?"
Wang Changbo was also slightly drunk, but he was familiar with Sun Qingyuan's voice, and even though the other party's voice was as soft as a mosquito, he could hear every word clearly.
His eyes suddenly widened and he wanted to reach out to cover Sun Qingyuan's mouth, but in panic he pushed the wine glass to the ground.
The crisp sound immediately attracted the prying eyes of people at the next table.
He could only pretend to be calm and call the waiter to pay for the wine, compensate for the wine glasses, and then dragged Sun Qingyuan back home.
He was trembling with fear all the way, with all his attention on Sun Qingyuan, fearing that he would say something outrageous again.
Only after he closed the door and sent Mo Zhu and Sansi out did he feel slightly relieved.
Sun Qingyuan had been helped by Wang Changbo to sit on a chair at home. He squinted his eyes slightly, with a half-smile on his face.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm just talking nonsense, but I'm not crazy."
Now that there is no one around, Wang Changbo wants to punch Sun Qingyuan and knock him out!
"If you are not crazy, how dare you say such a thing?"
"It's ok that you don't take things lightly when you talk to me and my classmates!"
"No matter how careless you are, you can't talk about His Majesty. This is a matter that could cost you your life!"
"Pfft!"
Sun Qingyuan grinned, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and continued bluntly:
"I only said 'the current one'. When did I say 'Your Majesty'? Wang Changbo, you really know how to identify people with names!"
"you!"
Wang Changbo took two steps back and pointed at Sun Qingyuan with trembling hands, as if he had just gotten to know him again today.
I only knew that Sun Qingyuan was a sharp-tongued person before, but I didn't expect that he also had such a good virtue as shamelessness. It's really amazing.
Wang Changbo pointed for a long time, but Sun Qingyuan didn't care at all and just looked at him with a sarcastic smile.
Wang Changbo finally gave up, put down his arms, and shook them behind his back.
——I lifted it for too long and my arms are sore.
He opened the door, poked his head out and looked around. After making sure that no one was there, he closed the door again, then quickly walked up to Sun Qingyuan and said in a very low voice:
"We are the Shujishi of Daliang, which means we have already stepped half a foot into the officialdom. Once we are granted official positions, we will be... the ministers of the 'current ruler.'"
"The ruler is the ruler, the subject is the subject; the father is the father, the son is the son. Do I need to explain to you the principles in the books of the sages?"
Sun Qingyuan looked at the worried and earnest expression on Wang Changbo's face, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Wang Changbo is suitable to be an official, but he... is suitable to be a staff member, and when necessary, he will do shady and treacherous things to achieve his goals.
