Chapter 680: Chapter 662: Leaving the City_1"Return to Jingzhao Prefecture?"
Master Uncle Cheng was quite surprised, raising his eyebrows, "You plan to go back now, why?"
"The current Emperor is in trouble, shouldn’t his subjects help alleviate his worries?" Qin Yi counter-questioned.
Master Uncle Cheng shook his head, surprisingly counter-questioned him again, "Qin Yi, are you saying this sincerely?"
"Where does Master Uncle Cheng’s question come from?" Qin Yi raised an eyebrow.
"It’s because..."
Uncle Master Cheng halted midway through his sentence, seemingly stuck. After a moment of thought, he sighed, "Qin Yi, do you have a tiger-shaped jade pendant filled with a drop of fresh blood and an emerald green phoenix-shaped jade pendant?"
Qin Yi’s heart suddenly raced!
But on the surface, he maintained his calm: "What jade pendant is Master Uncle Cheng talking about? I don’t understand."
Master Uncle Cheng also furrowed his brows, looking at him for a while before speaking in a deep voice, somewhat frustrated.
"Whether you understand or not, you know in your heart."
He hinted: "After all these years, the followers of our Ghost Valley Sect either ended up dead or fled. The survivors are less than one in ten. We have been failing to keep in touch over these years, but we still have around a million loyal supporters. All these years, all these people, isn’t it this faith that keeps us going? If you call out, there will undoubtedly be many supporters."
"Enough, Master Uncle Cheng!"
Qin Yi was even more frustrated, got up, paced around the house a couple of times, then walked to the window: "Master Uncle Cheng, life is currently hard, but I firmly believe that the days ahead will be better. As for power and such matters, I, Qin Yi, am just a country bumpkin who crawled out from the depths of the mountains. I don’t understand anything."
"Why do you have to belittle yourself? Just by being the Young Headmaster of our Ghost Valley Sect, everything is sufficient."
Upon mentioning this, Master Uncle Cheng’s eyes sparkled: "Moreover, you are the late emperor’s own son! At present, Qin Zitong usurped the throne by killing his father, and the Eighth Prince is not the late emperor’s own son. Once your identity is exposed, when the time comes for you to take command of the Great Army, how will we fail?"
"That’s enough!"
Qin Yi countered with a headache, rubbing his brow heart, "I don’t have the jade pendant you mentioned here. Master Uncle Cheng must have gotten the wrong person! I’ve been too busy to consider power and such matters!"
Master Uncle Cheng glanced at him for quite some time before admitting defeat: "Since the Young Headmaster does not want to talk, let’s wait till you’ve thought things through before discussing this matter."
Upon seeing Master Uncle Cheng back down, Qin Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and started discussing the current difficulties.
"Our side, although it had several battles with the other side and it seems evenly matched, the reality is that the enemy’s forces are vastly superior. Moreover, our rear lacks food and fodder, causing the soldiers to go hungry. Master Uncle Cheng, what do you think?"
"A shortage of food and fodder is no small matter."
Master Uncle Cheng pondered: "Originally, we did not have enough food and fodder when we set out for war. We were thinking to resupply in the vicinity of Hezhong Prefecture. Unexpectedly, we are now trapped in the city. We stationed our army here to cut off the enemy’s throat, preventing them from advancing to attack Jingzhao Prefecture. Therefore, we cannot retreat!"
Qin Yi nodded repeatedly at these words.
"Does Uncle Master have any advice?"
"I don’t have any great advice."
Master Uncle Cheng pondered again: "Actually, we can now send a team of troops out of the city to
As she was daydreaming, she got up to put on her clothes. Unexpectedly, a soldier walked in. As soon as he saw Su Pan’er, he was overjoyed.
"Mistress! Mistress, we found it. You were right, we found exactly what you asked us to search for!"
"That’s good!"
Su Pan’er was delighted! She strode towards the door, "You’re not fibbing, are you? Where are the items now, take me to them!"
