Chapter 191 Submission or Destruction: Expanding the Embroidered Uniform Guard
"Hmm! It's good that you understand. Then I'll take my leave!"
Huangfu Sixuan smiled and nodded.
Seeing that her best friend hadn't been bullied, she felt relieved.
"Sister Huangfu, let me take you!"
Upon seeing this, Murong Yishuang tried to escort Huangfu Sixuan away, but Huangfu Sixuan blocked her way.
"No need, your Emperor has been waiting for a long time, go and keep him company!"
"Otherwise, your Emperor will get angry!"
Huangfu Sixuan teased.
"Oh dear! Sister Huangfu, what are you saying?"
Murong Yishuang blushed deeply after Huangfu Sixuan's words, stamped her foot in frustration, and said coquettishly.
"Hahaha!"
Huangfu Sixuan burst into laughter upon seeing Murong Yishuang's expression.
It seems that Yishuang has truly found true love; her happiness doesn't seem feigned.
Huangfu Sixuan thought to herself.
"Okay, let's go!"
After Huangfu Sixuan spoke, her figure disappeared from the spot.
Murong Yishuang still felt a fever on her face, and it took her a while to recover.
He took a deep breath before pushing open the palace door and going inside.
...................
After things are settled here.
Ying Chen then led his army back to Xianyang.
At this point, he was already the emperor of the dynasty and could not leave the capital for an extended period of time.
I need to be stationed in the capital frequently to handle emergencies.
I just got back to Xianyang.
Xiao He then came looking for him.
"Prime Minister, what has happened?"
Ying Chen saw Xiao He and asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, during your absence, the Qingfeng Dynasty and the Dayin Dynasty sent envoys, wishing to become vassal dynasties of our Great Qin. I dare not make a decision on my own; I beg Your Majesty to decide!"
Xiao He bowed to Ying Chen and said.
"To become a vassal dynasty of my Great Qin?"
Ying Chen was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
However, he understood after a little thought.
The Qingfeng Dynasty, the Dayin Dynasty, and the Iron Wolf Dynasty that was destroyed earlier.
These three dynasties were all located around the Qin Dynasty.
They shared some territory with the Qin Dynasty to varying degrees.
They were afraid that if the Great Qin became an imperial dynasty, it would turn against them, which is why they rushed to become a vassal dynasty of the Great Qin.
With the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, destroying two dynasties would be an easy task.
After a moment's thought, Ying Chen said to Xiao He, "Prime Minister, tell those two imperial envoys that I have given them two options..."
"The first option is to submit to the Qin Dynasty. Their entire territory will belong to the Qin Dynasty, and their royal family can retain half of their wealth and live as wealthy men in Xianyang..."
"The second path is for me to lead my massive army to crush the two great dynasties. Everything they possess, including their lives, will belong to my Great Qin..."
Ying Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke.
"Here!"
Xiao He did not think there was anything wrong with Ying Chen's arrangement.
The Qin Dynasty currently has the smallest territory among the three great dynasties.
It barely reached the level of an imperial dynasty, and was far inferior to the other two great imperial dynasties.
Therefore, the dynasties and kingdoms surrounding the Qin Dynasty could just make up for the shortcomings in the Qin Dynasty's territory.
Those dynasties were easy to deal with; all it took was a word to their royal families, and they would eagerly come to Qin to live the life of wealthy men.
After all, becoming a subject of an imperial dynasty was something they could never even dream of.
However, it's not necessarily the same for imperial dynasties. They might become vassals of an imperial dynasty, but they might not be willing to give up their power and become ordinary people.
Even though this ordinary person was from the imperial dynasty.
"Alright, go make the arrangements!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and said.
Xiao He quickly relayed this news to the people of the two great dynasties.
As for how they choose, that's their business.
Meanwhile, Lu Bing arrived at the main hall and found Ying Chen.
"Your Majesty, recently many spies from the Heavenly Fox Dynasty have attempted to infiltrate our Great Qin, but they have all been captured by our Imperial Guards..."
"After interrogation, we learned that they were ordered to come to our Great Qin to investigate the alliance between our Great Qin and the Huangfu Dynasty!"
Lu Bing said respectfully to Ying Chen.
Ying Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
He was not surprised by this.
Including the Great Qin Dynasty, the Xuanxing Domain only has three imperial dynasties.
If two of the dynasties were to form an alliance, it would be a disaster for the other dynasty.
It's not surprising that the Heavenly Fox Dynasty reacted this way. If there had been no reaction, Ying Chen would have suspected that the Heavenly Fox Dynasty was plotting something.
"Hmm, the Embroidered Uniform Guard did a good job!"
Ying Chen said approvingly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Lu Bing said excitedly.
How many Jinyiwei (Imperial Bodyguards) are there now?
Ying Chen looked at Lu Bing and asked.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Lu Bing pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard currently has the initial 100,000 members as its backbone. Subsequently, more talents have been trained and recruited to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, bringing the total number of members in the inner and outer layers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to 700,000!"
Ying Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
In such a short period of time, it has expanded sevenfold.
To be honest, this speed is not slow.
Moreover, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is not open to just anyone. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard were to expand unchecked, its numbers would likely double!
However, the number of Embroidered Uniform Guards is still too small for the Qin Dynasty.
"Lu Bing, I will give you another 500,000 Imperial Guards. Send these guards outside the Xuanxing Domain, especially to the major domains adjacent to the Xuanxing Domain, to conduct thorough investigations..."
Ying Chen said seriously.
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Lu Bing's eyes lit up with excitement.
It's important to know that the Imperial Guards Ying Chen gave him weren't recruited by them later; their cultivation levels varied, and it would take a lot of resources to improve their cultivation.
The Imperial Guards that Ying Chen gave him were directly redeemed from the system, and each of them had a cultivation level of at least the peak of the Golden Core stage.
One can imagine that there were at least 500,000 Jinyiwei with at least the peak of the Golden Core stage, plus the original 100,000 elite Jinyiwei.
That's a full 600,000!
Currently, no general in the Great Qin Dynasty can command an elite army of 600,000 peak Golden Core cultivators.
It can be said that the strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard increased five or six times.
"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations. The Embroidered Uniform Guard will be the brightest eyes of the Great Qin..."
Lu Bing knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said.
"Ok!"
"Go down, you can go directly to the Lishan camp to take over..."
Ying Chen nodded and said.
"Here!"
Lu Bing said excitedly.
Then he left the hall.
After leaving the main hall, he went directly to the Lishan camp to wait, eager to take the Imperial Guards under his control immediately.
