The Situation in Great Yan

A bitterly cold winter night in the Great Chu. Please search (Pinshu. com) to read the most complete collection of novels!

The town of Watanabe was desolate and bleak, with dimly lit streets and only a few lights shining from every house.

"Phew~"

A cold wind blew by, scattering a few snowflakes.

It's snowing!

Unlike the desolate scene outside, inside the Wantong Tavern, nine red candles hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire tavern.

Inside the tavern, the ascetics laughed, made noise, drank and chatted, and told one interesting story after another.

"So, did you have a great time today?" In a corner, at a table, two burly men, one tall and one short, clinked glasses, finished their drinks, and began to talk.

The speaker was a tall, burly man.

Upon hearing this, the short, burly man, still showing a hint of shock, exclaimed, "Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders!"

The tall, burly man laughed and said, "What you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg of the Divine Bookstore. In a few days, the Pokémon-catching event will start again. When a thousand people can get into one book, that will be truly spectacular!"

The short, burly man said "Oh," and then asked, "Are those so-called little sprites the cute spirit beasts you see on the streets during the day?"

The tall, burly man nodded and said, "Yes, those are the ones; but let me tell you, don't think they're weak just because they look cute. Right now, many fourth-tier sprites can defeat fifth-tier spirit beasts!"

"I know, Miss Liu Ying only managed to get through the second challenge today thanks to that cute little sprite!" the short, burly man replied, his eyes filled with disbelief. "It's unbelievable that a book can actually produce living things."

"Yan Gexing, do you think the world in the book might be a real world?" the tall, burly man suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Yan Gexing frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Your guess is not without merit, but I am more inclined to believe that there is a spatial array hidden in this book."

"A spatial array?" the tall, burly man asked, puzzled.

Yan Gexing nodded and continued, "Books are inanimate objects, so it defies common sense for living things to emerge from them. Only spatial arrays can explain this phenomenon. When we read books, we trigger spatial arrays and are taken into another space, or perhaps some corner of the Azure Dragon Continent."

"Are there any places that have been excavated in Canglong Continent?" the tall man asked doubtfully.

The Azure Dragon Continent is a single landmass, surrounded by a vast Azure Dragon Continent.

This continent has long been traversed by cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Yan Gexing laughed and said, "How vast is this world? The Azure Dragon Continent is merely the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps there is another world beyond the sea."

The tall, burly man laughed heartily, downed his bowl of wine, and said, "Who cares if there's another world or not? It's none of our business anyway. By the way, are you planning to participate in the Pokémon-catching event in a few days? If you are, you'd better hurry up and buy an account at the trading market, otherwise you won't be able to find an account even if you have Spirit Crystal."

Yan Gexing a wry smile and said, "Where can I afford it? I heard that the price of a special number has been approaching 200,000 Spirit Crystal recently. You know that my annual salary is only two million, and I still have to support a whole family."

The tall, burly man joked, "You're a first-rank general, and your annual salary is only two million? Tathagata the Great Chu? I'll recommend you to King Chu Heng. You might not be a first-rank general, but I can easily guarantee you a second-rank position. However, in our Great Chu, Second Rank General's annual salary is five million. You'd be much better off as a first-rank general in Yan State."

Yan Gexing glared at him and said with a laugh, "Sima Gaoyi, you're a military general. Your job is to lead troops into battle. Don't try to be a lobbyist."

Sima Gaoyi shrugged and said helplessly, "Actually, my childhood dream was to become a human, but things didn't go as planned, and I'm quite desperate."

Yan Gexing was amused by Sima Gaoyi's words and said, "I can see that. Being a military general has indeed buried your talent."

Sima Gaoyi pursed his lips, his face returning to seriousness. He took out a unique number from his spatial bag and said, "I just happen to have an extra unique number here. I'll give it to you. How about we go check out that Book World together in a few days?"

Yan Gexing took the personalized number, looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled slightly and handed it back, saying, "It's not that I'm being polite, it's just that I'm going back to Yan State tomorrow."

"Why go back? For the New Year? That doesn't make sense either. You're all alone. It doesn't matter where you spend the New Year," Sima Gaoyi asked, puzzled.

"No, that's not it." After a moment of silence, Yan Gexing said, "It's General Luanfeng who wants to return to the Yan State."

"General Luanfeng?" Sima Gaoyi was taken aback and asked, "Wasn't General Luanfeng demoted by the King Yan?"

"A while ago, the King Yan issued a decree restoring General Luanfeng to his post."

"The position of General Luanfeng has been reinstated?" Sima Gaoyi asked in surprise, "Isn't General Luanfeng a supporter of Crown Prince Yan? How dare the King Yan appoint her?"

Yan Gexing sighed and said, "I don't know what the King Yan is thinking, but according to news from Great Yan, Qin State has recently dispatched a large number of troops to garrison the border. Qin Shi Huang seems to be very Rage about the King Yan's previous betrayal and plans to directly wage war against Great Yan. Moreover, the Northern Liang nomads north of Great Yan have been constantly harassing the northern border of Great Yan since winter began. Some time ago, they even captured Yan Yun Twelve Cities, massacred tens of thousands of Great Yan, and seized countless resources."

"The Northern Liang nomads?" Sima Gaoyi asked with some doubt, "I remember that the Northern Liang nomads haven't invaded the territory of Great Yan for almost ten years, right?"

Yan Gexing nodded and said, "This year marks the tenth anniversary. This year, the Northern Liang nomads suddenly launched an attack. The Great Yan have always believed that the Qin State was behind it and have given the Northern Liang nomads a lot of support. Of course, most importantly, the Northern Liang nomads knew that General Luanfeng had been dismissed by the King Yan, which made them determined to invade Great Yan."

Sima Gaoyi chuckled and said, "So this time, the King Yan's decision to appoint General Luanfeng was out of necessity, wasn't it?"

Yan Gexing nodded silently.

"The King Yan is clearly using General Luanfeng. Doesn't General Luanfeng know that?" Sima Gaoyi asked righteously.

"So what if they're being used? Great Yan is General Luanfeng's home, everyone in Yan State knows that. General Luanfeng would never stand by and watch her home be invaded by outsiders." At this point, Yan Gexing seemed unwilling to continue the discussion. He drank a bowl of wine, looked at Sima Gaoyi, and asked, "Let's not talk about General Luanfeng. I remember this year is your 'Twelve Kings' once-a-decade resource war, right? Why aren't you planning to participate this year?"
