Chapter 172 : The Promise is Always Valid
"These are all internal matters. As for external..."
"Big Brother, this is the purpose of Ming Chen's trip."
The things he had been chattering about at the beginning were to let Wang Huai know that Ming Chen had not forgotten the Blood-Clothed Army.
In this way, the two could still communicate calmly.
The Blood-Clothed Army was Xiao Xinyue's enemy, but not Ming Chen's enemy. At most, it could be considered a future opponent.

Taking a step back, even if Wang Huai was really capable and really led the Blood-Clothed Army to rule the world, it would not matter.
The advice Ming Chen gave was not complicated. The establishment of a new dynasty required these steps.

After a period of time, after a few setbacks, Wang Huai would understand on his own.
If he didn't understand, the Blood-Clothed Army would soon wither.
These were all foreshadowing. What he said next was the purpose of his trip.
Wang Huai raised an eyebrow and asked Ming Chen in return, "Brother, is the imperial daughter going to unite with me?"
Еn̈ü m̃ а. і d̄_
Ming Chen was his friend, but at the same time, he was also a minister on the imperial daughter's side.
His purpose was naturally not difficult to guess.
Ming Chen nodded gently. "Yes!"
"We have a common enemy."

Wang Huai snorted coldly. "The imperial family are all my enemies."
Since he had already claimed territory and kingship and had been placed on the high throne, it meant that the other leaders were all his enemies.

The fatuous king in the capital was his enemy, and now this defecting but ambitious imperial daughter was also his enemy.
Ming Chen smiled. "That also depends on the main enemy and the secondary enemy, doesn't it?"
"Big Brother, let Chen analyze the situation of the world for you!"
"First, in terms of strength, Lingguang in the northwest is a strong city, guarded by the rising General Ling. The Blood-Clothed Army has also had friction with it before, but has been unable to conquer it for a long time. Due to the former king's edict, the main army has been transferred to Baizhou. The military strength of the two provinces east of the Shen River is not that strong. Whether to attack the strong or the weak, Big Brother can decide for himself."
"Second, in terms of reputation, the new king in the capital is fatuous, and treacherous officials have usurped power. The dynasty's reputation is in jeopardy. Big Brother can raise the banner of sweeping away the fatuous ruler and saving the people of the world, which the Blood-Clothed Army has established from the beginning, and go north to attack the city. However, everything in Baizhou is thriving. The imperial daughter is not a fatuous ruler, and her reputation as a wise ruler will soon spread. If a war starts, what name will Big Brother fight under? The people under the imperial daughter's rule do not support you. Will it damage your reputation?"
"Third, both the imperial daughter and Big Brother belong to the new forces, while the capital represents the corrupt old country. The old dynasty in the capital is the highest priority enemy for both of us. Why don't we deal with the main enemy for the time being, how about it?"

"Fourth, Great Qi is short of grain, and the Blood-Clothed Army's attacks cannot be stopped. Big Brother can't get past the granary in Lingguang, so there is only one way to go, which is the two provinces east of the Shen River, the Liuyong granary."
"We unite, and Big Brother can go north. We will use the Shen River as the boundary to divide the east and west. Her Imperial Highness has not yet established a firm foothold and cannot launch an attack on you. The struggle for the orthodoxy of Great Qian is irreconcilable. If necessary, we can even send troops to support. After the old dynasty is annihilated, we will plan for the future, how about it?"
Ming Chen did not seem to be persuading him, but just listed some facts.
With a little guidance, without lobbying, Wang Huai himself could see which path was most suitable for them.
Negotiating with the Blood-Clothed Army was much simpler than fighting with Qin Lou in the northern border.
Because this was not a path where one side was damaged and the other was glorious, but a win-win path.
Е n̂ ü m̀ а̀
If the Blood-Clothed Army wanted to maximize its interests, it was best to follow Ming Chen's way.
If they had to fight with Xiao Xinyue's side until both sides were destroyed, it would not be good for either side.

Because what he said was the truth, Wang Huai had nothing to refute.
He paused for a moment and said to Ming Chen, "The benefits are all taken by your imperial daughter."
'The imperial daughter is developing peacefully in the southwest, while the Blood-Clothed Army is doing all the hard work, fighting with the capital in the north.'
'Ming Chen had this ability. The benefits were clearly on his side, but he could still make the other party agree to his proposal.'
Ẁ_е̃b̆ n̈ o v̄é l Е̊ n̂ u m̊ ӓ
'Because Ming Chen was on the imperial daughter's side. If he supported him, Wang Huai felt that he could give a better plan.'
Ming Chen, however, shook his head with a calm expression. "War has its benefits. Didn't Big Brother occupy all those lands?"
"The Blood-Clothed Army itself also has the need to fight."
"If Big Brother has a better plan, then you can act according to the better plan."

Wang Huai was silent for a moment and finally sighed. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
In itself, the Blood-Clothed Army had also given up attacking Lingguang and had turned to the east instead.

Having reached this joint agreement, he could at least feel a little more at ease. At least the other party would not stab him in the back.
"Heh."
"Big Brother, Chen toasts you."
Ming Chen chuckled and raised his wine cup to Wang Huai.
Ming Chen didn't even prepare a contract.
Anyway, in this era, this thing was just a piece of waste paper.

If it was really done, a verbal agreement would also count.
If it was not done, then signing more contracts would be useless. It was better to believe in Wang Huai's reputation.
"Cheers!"
With a clink of the wine cups.
The future situation of the world was also quietly set in these few words.
The leader of the Blood-Clothed Army, the supreme emperor of Great Qi, was also a human.
Ẇ ёb̀n̊ o̊ v̇е l̃ Е̌nŭm а̌
He always had feelings.
After finishing the official business, Wang Huai asked Ming Chen, "Ming Chen, how long are you planning to stay in my Great Qi this time?"

After seven years of separation, he missed him very much.
If Ming Chen stayed for a few more days, not to mention providing him with many plans and strategies for governing the country.
But to speak without reservation was also excellent.
"If you have time, I'll have someone take you around. There are many good places in the south..."
Ẇ е̃ b́ n о̄ v̂е̄l .Еn ū m ӓ
Ming Chen smiled and said, "Big Brother, I have many things to do, so I won't stay long."
"Is that so..."
Wang Huai was a little regretful. He seemed to have thought of something and asked Ming Chen again, "Brother should be seventeen this year, right?"
"Are you married?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
In any era, marriage was a topic that would definitely be discussed and could not be avoided.
Ming Chen shook his head. "Not yet married."
Ẃ.е̌ ḃ n о́ v е l̀ Е̇ n̊ u m̊а̃
"Hmm? Isn't that a little late!"
"Has my brother not found a suitable person?"
Ming Chen was not yet married, which was beyond Wang Huai's expectations.
Wang Huai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but move closer to Ming Chen. "How about the girls of my Great Qi? Shall I help you choose?"
Ming Chen: ...
Ming Chen was not against others introducing beautiful girls to him.

But with the prefix of Wang Huai, there would definitely be many troubles later.
Thinking of that dazed sister who was full of contrast, Ming Chen couldn't help but smile, his eyes gentle. "Big Brother, I already have someone I like! Chen thinks that it's better to seek for matters of the heart on my own."
"Is that so..."
Wang Huai sighed and then said, "The person my brother likes should be a peerless beauty from a noble family. I won't play matchmaker for you."
'This person, Ming Chen, is very smart, and his standards are probably also high. The woman he values should also be talented and beautiful.'
'If I introduced some ordinary women, the other party would not like them, which would only make the two of us awkward.'
Ѐ ň um̈ǎ. і d̆
He didn't expect that the 'noble lady' this brother liked would be that death star butcher who had killed thousands with a butcher's knife.
"When are you getting married?"

"Remember to send me an invitation."
At this moment, it seemed that there was no Blood-Clothed new king who had claimed territory and kingship.
There was only a brother who was concerned about his younger brother's marriage.
Ming Chen was stunned for a moment. Facing Wang Huai's sincere eyes, he smiled. "Alright!"
Ёñū m̄ a . і̃ḋ
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
"If the wedding date is set, Chen will definitely send a message to Big Brother."
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Even if I can't be there, I will send you a generous gift."

Time was getting late, and the sun was setting in the west.
Ming Chen and Wang Huai got along very harmoniously.
Ѐ n̆um̀ ӑ .îď
Even though Ming Chen had repeatedly rejected Wang Huai's invitation and belonged to another camp, Wang Huai still treated him with sincerity.
The two did not discuss those military secrets, but just chatted casually, talking about family matters, life, and the changes over the years.
At this moment, there was no monarch and foreign minister, only simple relatives and friends.
The main hall gradually darkened, and the wine was almost finished.
Wang Huai's face was flushed from drinking, and he was also a little drunk.
For so many years, he had rarely been so relaxed as today.

Ming Chen looked at the sky, stood up, and said to him, "Big Brother, Chen should go."
"Hmm?"
Wang Huai lowered his eyes and then waved his hand. "Alright, go, go!"
"I'll have Kaifeng see you off!"
The way men got along was more free and easy, without those motherly things.
If Ming Chen wanted to go, then he could go.

Ming Chen smiled and cupped his hands to him. "Big Brother, take care."
"Ming Chen!"

Just as he had taken a few steps.
"Swoosh!"
A wooden token flew through the air and landed accurately in Ming Chen's hand.
It should be a piece of strange wood. It was smooth to the touch, and there seemed to be blood vessel-like patterns on it, with a 'Qi' character imprinted on it.

Wang Huai's voice came from behind. "My promise to you will always be valid."
"Wang Huai will not forget his roots."
"Whenever you come, I will welcome you..."
Ming Chen paused for a moment, put away the wooden token, and did not say much. He just waved his hand and left the main hall.

Seeing the young man's figure gradually disappear, Wang Huai shook his head, leaned against the chair, raised his head to look at the roof beam, and sighed softly.
After this chat with Ming Chen, he seemed to have regained the feeling of discussing the world with Ming Chen when he was down and out seven years ago.

Time passed quickly. He had already occupied such a large piece of land and ruled so many people.
'Has my original intention... changed?'
'Ming Chen said that he was an opportunist. An opportunist is to use the smallest price to obtain the most generous reward.'
'Ming Chen was unwilling to join the Blood-Clothed Army, not because Ming Chen did not recognize me as a person, but because he did not recognize this path.'
'Did I go the wrong way?'
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Ming Chen, ah... this world, you just watch!"
No one would be willing to admit that they had gone the wrong way.
In the quiet room, the slightly drunk emperor hummed the song of the Blood-Clothed Army softly. "Blood-Clothed, Blood-Clothed, kill all the fat worms."
"From my Blood-Clothed Ghost, overthrow the Holy Emperor."
"The world is clear, the sun and moon shine~ No more powerful families, no more nobles, no more imperial family..."
'Why was the belief so deeply rooted in the hearts of the Blood-Clothed Army?'

'Because their leader firmly believed in it.'
