Chapter 1243 The Plan



Long Qian Xing sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and looked to the back, wondering whether it was Shangguan Xiao or Nan Luo who were talking bad about him. Thinking about Nan Luo and how he always wanted to make him stay away from his twin sister, he felt somewhat helpless.

In the end, he pushed the thought to the back.

The palace in Yi City was really big. It took Long Qian Xing a quarter of an incense stick of time to be able to reach the inner palace and managed to find Emperor Yang Zhou. Unlike before where Emperor Yang Zhou would be staying on that tall area and overlooked the city, he was now standing in the middle of a bridge, watching the small river flowing in the middle of it.

At this time, he looked somewhat serene and solemn.

"Young Master Long, Long Qian Xing, greets His Majesty." Long Qian Xing stopped at an appropriate distance and knelt on the ground while cupping his fist.

Emperor Yang Zhou didn't immediately answer. He took a deep breath. "Qian Xing, I've decided.... I'll lead the soldiers personally in the battle against Zhang Xu Kingdom."

Long Qian Xing's eyes widened. He really wanted to raise his head to be able to see Emperor Yang Zhou's expression, but he held himself back. In the end, he replied, "Your Majesty, that will be dangerous."

"Is it?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked, his tone was somewhat placid. "I would like to see with my own eyes as Zhang Xu Kingdom fall in the future."

As he said that, Emperor Yang Zhou turned to look at Long Qian Xing. Ordinary people would not know, but his mother actually came from Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was also one of the reasons why she hated him so much.

Because she gave birth to him, she never had a chance to step into her hometown again. Because of his existence, she would always be reminded that the person who used to love her would not hesitate to throw her away for power and glory. Because he's the descendant of the Emperor, she would always be scorned by the people from her place.

His son was only a young baby by now.

And the harem has always been full of infighting.

Who knew whether that young child would be able to grow safely or not.

Emperor Yang Zhou never paid that much attention to this matter. One of his Imperial Concubines had just borne a son for him a few days before his departure. But because of the celebration in Yi City, he could only take a brief look and then left again.

If he were to fall at the battlefield, how could such a young baby replaced him?

Thus his ministers would definitely object heavily with the notion of him going to the battlefield on his own.

"Thank you, Qian Xing."

"It's my honor, Your Majesty."

"I'll return to the Capital City soon enough. There will be celebration to celebrate the eldest prince's 100 days' old." Emperor Yang Zhou paused for a bit. Truthfully, this was not his first son, but previously, his children couldn't survive because of their weak bodies. It was to the point that the ministers were helpless and could only say that both the father and mother were still young, so it was harder for their children to be healthy before they were born.

In this era, it was hard for babies to grow up, so only when they were three months old would they be named.

"I hope that you can participate at that time."

"Your Majesty, I have been selected to clean up the areas at the north of Yi City towards the border." Long Qian Xing's tone sounded helpless. He knew very well that during this period of time, it was more likely that he wouldn't be able to return to the Capital City.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. "May the Heaven bless you."

"May the Heaven bless you too on you return journey, Your Majesty," Long Qian Xing replied.
