The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

This is the base of the intelligence department of the Blood Cloud Tower. When the Situ family raised the banner of rebellion, Jiang Fan asked Zhong Ling to send someone to find a chance to rescue Li Changle's mother.

This was also what he promised Li Changle. If Concubine De was not rescued and something happened to her, Jiang Fan would not be able to explain to Li Changle.

As for the other members of the Situ family, they had been hidden long before Situ Yun raised the banner of rebellion.

Now, the entire Shangjing City wants to capture the Situ family, and even the families of many generals. But these families were rescued by the people of Xueyun Tower long before they raised the banner of rebellion.

If not for this, Situ Yun and others would not have followed Jiang Fan's advice and rebelled.

Just as Jiang Fan followed Situ Yun and others to Shangjing, the Xihe Corridor area on the border between Daxi and Liaoxia was captured by the 200,000 troops sent by Jiang Zheng.

With the arrival of the army, there was almost no resistance. The Daxi troops defending the city had only a pitiful 2,000 to 3,000 men, so how could they compete with an army of 200,000?

Liao and Xia took the opportunity to expand towards the Daxi Dynasty. They moved eastward along the Xihe area of ​​the Daxi Dynasty. In just half a month, they occupied almost all the territory of the Xihe Corridor of the Daxi Dynasty.

Nearly one-fifth of the territory of the Dashi Dynasty fell into the hands of the Liaoxia Kingdom.

Situ Yun and his two sons had already seized two-fifths of Daxi's territory in half a month. Their military strength reached 200,000, and they were less than ten miles away from the capital.

With an army of 200,000 facing the 100,000 imperial guards of Shangjing City, there was almost no suspense in this battle.

At this time, winter had already arrived and heavy snow began to fall. This was also the first snow in the Great Western Dynasty. Compared with Dayan, which was located in the Central Plains and close to the south, the Great Western Dynasty was located in the northwest, and winter came earlier than in the Central Plains.

Because of the snow, the army did not march directly to Shangjing, but rested on the spot. Jiang Fan's 140,000 troops followed closely behind the 200,000 troops.

Jiang Fan was standing in front of a cliff at this time. A few miles in front of him was the place where 200,000 troops were stationed. Further ahead was Shangjing City. Looking at the towering city walls from afar, Jiang Fan felt at peace.

Under the pure silver, there is a strong murderous intent hidden. A war is unavoidable.

The current Daxi Dynasty only has the capital left, and other places either submit to Situ Yun's Jingnan Army or choose to wait and see. However, no one stands on the side of the court.

Otherwise, the entire Shangjing City would not be isolated and helpless, not to mention the invasion from Liao and Xia, and even the threat of an attack from the northern barbarians.

Standing next to Jiang Fan was Li Changle, followed by Zhong Ling. The three of them stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, Li Changle had a complicated expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Your Highness has great ambitions, but I just want to stay alive... I hope that after Your Highness accomplishes his great cause, you will show mercy to my grandfather's family!" Li Changle looked at Jiang Fan and bowed slightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at Li Changle calmly, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

After spending time with him all the way, Jiang Fan didn't see through Li Changle, but he could see that this woman asked him for help out of helplessness. In other words, she had no choice.

But Jiang Fan never relaxed his vigilance against her. People sometimes change, or maybe Li Changle now really just wants to survive.

But if Li Changle really became the empress, would she really be willing to be just a puppet? !

Perhaps she felt Jiang Fan's ambition. Annexing Daxi had long been in Jiang Fan's plan. And if he annexed the Daxi Dynasty, Jiang Fan would definitely take action against the Situ family.

She was begging Jiang Fan for mercy!

Of course, Jiang Fan had actually thought about it in his heart: Situ Yun and his two sons seemed to be very cooperative, but would they really continue to cooperate?

Now, with 140,000 troops hanging like a sword in the rear, he had no choice but to endure it until the great event was accomplished.

But what happens once the big thing is accomplished? Are the three of the Situ family really willing to let Li Changle be just a puppet? Or, they may stab Jiang Fan in the back at any time.

But if that were the case, would Jiang Fan still keep the three of them, the father and son of the Situ family? But if he killed the three of them, then Li Changle and Li Zhi would not be able to stay either.

After all, Jiang Fan couldn't keep his enemy around and put himself in danger. He not only had to consider his own safety, but also the safety of others!

"Whether to show mercy or not is not up to me, but up to you...your grandparents!" Jiang Fan looked at Li Changle and said lightly.

"In fact, I was just like you. At the beginning, I just wanted to live, but as I walked further and further, I found that my responsibilities were getting heavier and heavier. There were more and more things I wanted to do."

"I promised someone that I would bring peace to the people of the world, make sure the people have enough food and clothing, and create an unparalleled prosperous era for her! Therefore, unification of the world will be the inevitable path."

"People have the urge of interests, and the same is true between countries. If you, Daxi, can invade Dayan once, there will be a second time. War brings not only death, but also pain. If we don't want war, the only way is to unify!"

"You should also know that I let you be the empress only temporarily. Sooner or later, Daxi will be integrated into Dayan. So, I hope you don't have any inappropriate thoughts!"

"Not only for yourself, but also for the people you care about!"

At this point, Jiang Fan looked at Shangjing City in front of him. The snow had covered Shangjing City with a layer of silver.

Zhong Ling beside him looked at Jiang Fan, her eyes full of tenderness and a touch of emotion. She stepped forward and gently held Jiang Fan's hand, as if she wanted to pass on her tenderness to him.

Let the seemingly lonely figure in front of her feel her presence. Jiang Fan was destined to be the lonely one.

Because, in order to achieve the prosperity that Jiang Fan wanted to give her, he was destined to become enemies with countless people. And she only hoped that she could always stand by Jiang Fan and accompany him.

Jiang Fan felt the warmth of Zhong Ling's handshake, turned to look at her, and a smile appeared on his face.

Li Changle, who was standing aside, looked at the two people's clasped hands, with a complex expression and a hint of envy in his eyes.

They were together all the way, and although Jiang Fan clearly stated that she would become his woman, he never did anything inappropriate towards her, nor did he ever force her.

The soldiers accompanying him were respectful and polite to Jiang Fan, their eyes full of admiration. She had also seen Jiang Fan's heroic and unparalleled appearance.

In his heart, his grandfather and two uncles have always been heroes, but in front of Jiang Fan, they are weak. Especially Jiang Fan's plan of Fengtian Jingnan, which made her admire him even more.

It's not that she hasn't heard of Jiang Fan's deeds. The once unpopular prince had experienced life and death several times, but in just two years, he had become the emperor of Dayan in name only.

How could she not be tempted by such a person? At the beginning, she might just want to use Jiang Fan's power to protect herself, but as she got to know him better.
