Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1485 - 1127: Commanding the Realm, Changsheng!
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan touched her nose, looking slightly perplexed, then walked out. After a few steps, she turned back with a face full of doubt and asked, "That lord, if you can’t win, do you really plan to snatch it?"
"What else? Just watch a cooked duck fly away?" Gu Changsheng glared.
What are you asking for?
These days, whether it’s a black cat or a white cat, if it can catch a mouse, it’s a good cat!
She had already bragged so much; if she really lost the Nirvana Martial Contest, how would people perceive her? How would her soft and cute little dumpling look at her as a mother?
She cannot lose face like this!
So, the Nirvana Martial Contest can only be won, not lost!
Even if the Hidden World Families reveal all their trump cards and send out disciples so fierce that she can’t match them, she still can’t lose!
There are many ways to win, fair and square, or perhaps not so fair and square...
If winning fair and square is impossible, then she really doesn’t mind using some not-so-honorable methods!
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng looked at her little bundle and revealed a mischievous smile.
Hehe...
After all this uproar, she initially thought of going to crush some weaklings, but it didn’t happen, so all the prepared tools were left unused, weren’t they?
But surely they can’t be wasted, right?
They must be put to good use somehow, right?
Therefore, Gu Changsheng was still quite eager to try her luck in the Nirvana Martial Contest, where there was little certainty of victory!
Because she had already decided that if she couldn’t win honorably, she’d at least win somewhat honorably!
After all, she’s Gu Changsheng!
After all, she’s thick-skinned!
Of course, when it comes to the last few rounds of the Nirvana Martial Contest, facing those core disciples of the Hidden World Families, if she’s really slightly weaker in strength, she won’t mind making up for it elsewhere!
She just wants to probe into the core disciples of the Hidden World Families, so she can grow through the battle, isn’t it?
The City Lord’s Mansion was as quiet as usual, as if isolated from the clamor of the mundane world.
Liu Fengyun, worthy of being the Manor Master of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, handled the news from the Itinerant World with ease. With Liu Fengyun’s assistance, the messages returning from Northern Mongolia were quickly gathered, organized, and listed one by one in the City Lord’s Mansion, under the hands of Liu Fengyun and Borjigin Nian.
Northern Mongolia had been in internal turmoil for a long time, and the royal family seizing power had besieged the Royal City for more than a day or two. Fearing the Dark Night Army brought by Borjigin Nian under Gu Changsheng, Borjigin Nian had been isolated outside of Northern Mongolia, holding Linyuan City firmly!
It’s not that Borjigin Nian really couldn’t break into Northern Mongolia to rescue her Father King, but with the entire North Mongolia Royal City surrounded tightly by the Rebel Army, and the entire Northern Mongolia in a state of collapse, any rash action by Borjigin Nian would only roast the King of Northern Mongolia in hot oil!
As a daughter, Borjigin Nian dared not take such a risk!
She couldn’t disregard her Father King’s safety, let alone ignore the people of Northern Mongolia!
Betrayal, the seizure of power, was merely an internal royal family feud. If it truly evolved into a war, it would be the common people who suffered the most under the scorched earth of the flames!
That would be a catastrophe that shakes the foundation of Northern Mongolia!
One piece of news after another constantly appeared in Borjigin Nian’s hands. She frowned at the Geomancy Map spread out on the table before her.
Unsurprisingly, the news of Gu Changsheng’s appearance in Linyuan City had already reached North Mongolia, and the deterrence of the Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng’s name, could be contemplated even with the sole of the foot. It was bound to stir up waves among the Rebel Army in Northern Mongolia!
However, at this moment, how exactly those rebellious royal families of Northern Mongolia would respond hadn’t yet arrived, but the large-scale mobilization of troops from within Northern Mongolia demonstrated their great alarm and cautious preparation towards Gu Changsheng appearing on the periphery of Northern Mongolia!
"It seems they are really determined to seize power in Northern Mongolia! Even though Gu Changsheng has arrived at Linyuan City, they haven’t been deterred from their ambitions!" Borjigin Nian said, gazing at the Geomancy Map before her, focusing on the location of the Royal City, with a face full of regret.
No retreat!
Indeed, they haven’t retreated!
Even though Gu Changsheng has already appeared in Linyuan City, the rebellious royal families of Northern Mongolia still haven’t given up hope. Moreover, the army surrounding the Royal City continues to grow!
"Nian, you’ve underestimated people’s hearts! The depth of human desire surpasses your imagination! Since they’ve chosen rebellion to seize power regardless of everything, they won’t back down at this point, because whether they advance or retreat, they’ll face crushing defeat. From start to finish, their hope isn’t here, but rather in the person inciting them from behind!"
Just then, Gu Changsheng slowly walks in, glancing at the sand table before Borjigin Nian, her bright, small face covered in frost, she speaks in a grave tone.
She, Gu Changsheng, and Borjigin Nian appeared in Linyuan City, bringing along the Undefeated War God Zhou Mu from Great Zhou, yet it still doesn’t deter the rebellious turmoil in Northern Mongolia. This speaks volumes!
Retreating won’t lead to open skies; only a dead end. Under such circumstances, why would the rebellious royal families of Northern Mongolia retreat?
They’ll only quicken their pace!
"Nian, the Hidden World Families have already sent invitations; the true Nirvana Martial Contest will happen tomorrow, proceeding from preliminary elimination matches to the final contest for the First, lasting ten days. And these ten days are the last time I’m giving Northern Mongolia!" Placing a finger on the small flag inserted on the Geomancy Map, Gu Changsheng’s gaze is sharp, and she speaks solemnly, "The news of my and Zhou Mu’s appearance in Linyuan City has clearly reached Northern Mongolia. The rebellious royal family’s army besieging the Royal City received the news and will adapt their strategy, reaching Linyuan City in about ten days. The timing is perfect! Once the Nirvana Martial Contest ends, it’s time for Northern Mongolia to make their move. Nian, keep your composure, no matter what, over these ten days, you must endure! Even if the royal family’s rebel army begins to attack the Royal City, you must hold on! I bet they wouldn’t dare harm your Father King completely, eliminating all wiggle room, while I’m here with Zhou Mu. As long as your Father King remains safe, it’s never too late! Moreover, you must endure!"
Under Gu Changsheng’s intense gaze, Borjigin Nian nodded with deep and solemn eyes, "Yes! I’ll listen to you! I certainly won’t act recklessly!"
"That’s good!" Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng sighed in relief.
She’s unaffected, remaining outside of events, thus able to maintain a clear, observer’s mindset!
She’s worried that Borjigin Nian, being amidst the events, won’t keep his rationality!
The stalemate in Northern Mongolia requires patience. Whoever makes the first move loses the advantage. Borjigin Nian’s Father King is already trapped in the Royal City; they’ve already lost the initiative and even need to rely on the Itinerant World’s People for intel. Much less acting rashly?
With the loss of initiative, they can only wait for the rebellious royal families of Northern Mongolia to make the first move; only then can they turn passive into active, no longer being so cornered!
Standing at the table holding the Geomancy Map, Gu Changsheng extends her hand, covering the Northern Mongolian territory, gently stroking, her phoenix eyes stormy, slowly speaking, "Northern Mongolia! Endless grasslands, cattle and sheep everywhere, and galloping steeds! Over the vast prairie ruled by the horse culture lies the boundless Far North Desert Sea..."
Her finger stops at the edge of Northern Mongolia’s northern territory, her eyes slowly narrowing to a line...
There, no clear territorial boundary exists, no visible dividing line... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
However, everyone knows that it’s the edge of the Far North Land, belonging neither to Northern Mongolia nor a place for ordinary people to tread!
The Far North Land, vast desert sea, where the Divine Demise Land is hidden within!
She, Gu Changsheng, returned from the Southern Country to Great Zhou, leaving the Capital City heading north, leaving Great Zhou’s territory, traveling through Liaodong, reaching Linyuan City, and now, only Northern Mongolia stands between her and her ultimate goal!
This territory, no larger than two palm spans on the Geomancy Map, she must cross!
Not only cross it, but she must quell the chaos in Northern Mongolia, ensuring stability before continuing north, or else she’ll be cutting off her own retreat, with nowhere to turn back!
Though she’s already in a situation of no retreat!
However, undoubtedly, without restoring order in Northern Mongolia, her northward journey is destined to halt, preventing further advancement!
Northern Mongolia, the land of life and death, Borjigin Nian’s homeland, now has become a formidable obstacle in her path!
But, so what?
She, Gu Changsheng, has never encountered easy paths, and the tougher the challenge, the more it fuels her unwavering belief in victory!
"Northern Mongolia, I’ve granted you months to strategize and plot, now the time has come for my arrival, even if you’re the Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair, I, Gu Changsheng, will see you under clear skies!" Her fingers slowly clench, staring at the Geomancy Map on the table, her bright face solemn, speaking in a deep voice, "Dark Night Army, hear my command: the day Nirvana Martial Contest concludes is the day we march into Northern Mongolia! I’m curious to see how they dare obstruct the advance of my fierce Dark Night Army!"
"At your command!"
"At your command!"
"..."
Various voices respond in unison as Gu Changsheng’s voice falls.
Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, feels greatly encouraged, but in the next moment, worry flashes across his eyes. He tugs at Gu Changsheng’s clothes, nervously speaking, "About that, won’t the Dark Night Army’s movements force them to act recklessly against my Father King?"
"Yes!" Gu Changsheng responds without hesitation.
