Chapter 167: Unifying the Continent
Helan Min was pregnant, and Qingmu Junsu was very happy. He annoyed Gu Liang and the others eight hundred times a day, fearing that something had not been done well. Finally, he simply invited Gu Liang and the others to the palace. Seeing that Helan Min was pregnant, no one bothered him.
Anyway, there is only Helan Min in the harem, so there is no inconvenience.
With Gu Can and the others around, Qingmu Junsu finally felt relieved and less panicked. Instead, he began to giggle more frequently every day. He was going to be a father!
He was so stupid that Lichun felt he couldn't bear to look at him. How could his senior brother be so stupid, and he was the emperor? He was not as smart as Lichun.
Pregnant in October and giving birth once.
"How dare you!" Ji Xiaoju was helping with the delivery, and Gu Can and Shang Rong were both there. Yet, someone was trying to steal the royal bloodline and confuse the royal family. How could Gu Can let her succeed?
After Ji Xiaoju helped He Lanmin clean up, Gu Can handed the child to her personally, and then took the maid she had just restrained and the midwife carrying the basket containing the baby out.
"Jun Su, I don't know how these two got in. They want to steal the royal bloodline and confuse the royal family. I will teach you how to deal with them." Gu Can said directly.
"How is Min'er?" Qingmu Junsu was both angry and furious, but he was still more worried about Helan Min.
"Mother and child are safe and sound." Gu Can replied.
"That's good. Take these two bastards away." Qingmu Junsu felt relieved and turned to look at the two people who wanted to exchange his son, his eyes cold and his expression serious.
After handing the person over to Qingmu Junsu, Gu Can left him alone and went to check on his own nephew.
There were all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues behind this matter, and the implications were very large. After the full moon of Qingmu Lian, Qingmu Junsu mobilized his troops and declared war on Wu Tu Kingdom.
"Did Zhong Chengqian really do it? I don't think so." Gu Can looked at Qingmu Junsu and asked.
"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Since they gave me a reason, how can I refuse it? When Lian'er grows up, I can unload my burden." Qingmu Junsu answered Gu Can while teasing Qingmu Lian.
"I thought you would wait a few more years." Gu Can said that this battle would have to be fought sooner or later.
"The world has been divided long enough."
"Minmin and Lian'er, do you want to go to Lianxia Mountain?" Gu Can asked.
"This is the best." Although Qingmu Junsu was reluctant, he also knew that this was the best.
"It's okay to go slowly, so as to avoid committing murderous sins." Gu Can still reminded.
"I know." Qingmu Junsu knew that Gu Can was doing this for his own good. Of course, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
Gu Can brought Helan Min and Qingmu Lian to Lianxia Mountain. After thinking for a while, he turned around and went to Lihuo Country to meet Chi Jiuluan.
"Are you going to leave the Fire Kingdom and submit to the Aoki Kingdom?" Gu Can didn't say anything, and Chi Jiuluan stated his purpose.
"It would be best if you are willing. I just hope there will be less killing." Gu Can nodded.
"I'll let Ange talk to him." Chi Jiuluan said.
"Okay, if you're not satisfied with the conditions, don't worry about me." Gu Can hadn't intended to use the jade pendant to demand anything. Chi Jiuluan and Chi Ange weren't power-hungry people. As long as the people of Lihuo Nation could live and work in peace and contentment, it didn't matter who was the emperor.
With Gu Can's words, Chi Jiuluan and Chi Ange felt at ease.
It is not easy for Gu Can to get involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
With the surrender of the Lihuo Kingdom, the Wutu Kingdom suffered a series of defeats and was finally forced to surrender. The Platinum Kingdom was vast and sparsely populated, and was the farthest away. However, after the Lihuo Kingdom surrendered, the Platinum Kingdom's royal family directly submitted a letter of surrender.
Qing Mu Jun Su easily unified the four kingdoms, leaving only the Xuan Shui Kingdom in the north, which refused to surrender. Qing Mu Jun Su personally led the army to the battle.
"Qingmu Junsu, the entire Qinglian Continent is under your control." Mo Yonghuai, the crown prince of Xuanshui Kingdom, shouted loudly while looking at Qingmu Junsu opposite him.
"That's not your decision, Mo Yonghuai. You tried to exchange my child and put the blame on Zhong Chengqian. Isn't the current situation what you wanted?" Qingmu Junsu had naturally found out the real mastermind behind the scenes a long time ago, but it didn't matter who it was. All he wanted was a reason to start a war.
He knew it, Zhong Chengqian knew it, Chi Jiuluan, Yan Zhiyuan, and everyone knew it, not to mention Mo Yonghuai, the instigator of all this.
What Mo Yonghuai didn't know was why Chi Jiuluan and Yan Zhiyuan chose to surrender directly, making all his plans to take advantage of the situation and form alliances come to nothing.
He could understand why Chi Jiuluan would choose to surrender directly, after all, it was a group of women ruling the country. But Yan Zhiyuan, the most militant and active person who felt uncomfortable without a fight, would actually surrender directly.
The generals of Wu Tu were so weak. They were completely defeated after just a few months. Now only his Xuan Shui Kingdom was left, facing Qing Mu Jun Su, who had unified the four kingdoms.
"If you are willing to surrender, I will treat you all equally. From now on, all the people of Qinglian Continent will be as close as one family." I still have to persuade them before the war.
"Put away your sweet talk, if you want to fight then let's fight. There are no cowards in my Xuanshui Kingdom who surrender without a fight!" Mo Yonghuai was speaking indirectly about Yan Zhiyuan.
However, Yan Zhiyuan was not there, so he wouldn't care even if he knew.
He enjoyed fighting, but he was no fool. After surrendering, he remained the Platinum King, doing nothing all day and still receiving a salary. He no longer had to worry about the livelihoods of the people, whether the harvest was good, or whether it would rain this year. He remained in that palace for ten years, day after day.
Now he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. It is no easier than being the emperor of Platinum Kingdom!
Qingmu Junsu was no tyrant. Even before unification, he generously distributed grain and seeds, and he saw how the people of Qingmu lived and worked in peace and contentment. Their Baijin Kingdom was vast and sparsely populated, with a harsh living environment. He was eager for someone to come forward and govern it!
As for that fool Mo Yonghuai, the Xuanshui Kingdom is nothing but the sea. When a strong wind blows, they in the Baijin Kingdom can smell the fishy stench. What is there to fight for? He wouldn't even want it if it was given to him!
Yan Zhiyuan happily prepared for his trip long after handing in the letter of surrender, and his first stop was to go to Lihuo Country to eat delicious food!
While Yan Zhiyuan happily embraced the delicious food, the Xuanshui Kingdom put up a tough fight. In the end, Mo Yonghuai was killed on the battlefield, and all the pro-war generals died. Finally, the old emperor finally submitted a letter of surrender.
At this point, Qingmu Junsu only took more than a year to unify the five countries of the entire Qinglian Continent.
His territory was easy to conquer, and the next thing to do was how to govern it. And whether to relocate the capital. Qingmu Junsu was the Emperor Star of Heaven, and it seemed as if he was born knowing how to govern a country.
Time flies and another three years have passed.
Throughout the Qinglian Continent, the government was clean and honest, and the weather was good. Bridges and roads were built, and floods were controlled. Under the rule of Qingmu Junsu, everything became well-organized.
The people just feel that life is so good now.
It's the Qinglian Literary Festival again, and students from all over the Qinglian Continent can sign up to participate. Gu Can held Qing Mulian in his arms as he sat aside. Qing Mulian, who didn't know who he took after, didn't care about anything except food.
At this moment, he was still holding a candied haws in his hand, and his eyes had been staring at the snacks on the table for a long time.
After Qingmu Junsu unified the continent, Helan Min and Qingmu Lian were brought back to the palace. However, now that Helan Min was pregnant again and Qingmu Lian also liked to be with Gu Liang and the others, Qingmu Junsu immediately packed up and sent them over.
After all, this was a little baby that she delivered herself, and Ji Xiaoju loved him very much, so she had to take him with her.
Shang Rong and Lichun also went out to gain experience after the Lantern Festival.
Shang Rong truly lives by her roots, bringing business wherever she goes. She's already on the verge of opening branches across the entire continent. Li Chun, on the other hand, is fascinated by medicine, becoming a traveling doctor. Whenever he encounters a difficult case, he always sends a message back for advice. Fortunately, Gu Can has plenty of sound transmission notes, and they're fast enough!
How could he afford to delay treatment? After six months of traveling, Lichun realized many of his shortcomings and returned to Gu Liang and his companions to study diligently. Every two years, he would travel down the mountain. As a result, his medical skills improved rapidly.
