2062 The Aftermath
The battle with Shi Long Kingdom was finally over.
It was the longest battle Fei Yang Kingdom ever experienced because of their first failure in the beginning. Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, who had cleaned up the Imperial Palace and wondered whether he had a map for this place or something. "There are some people missing," Long Qian Xing said after his subordinate had finished sweeping the area. They would not kill all the Imperial Family members.
As for those who had died because of their own civil war?
Long Qian Xing didn't care about them and it was up to the others to deal with it. Nan Hua nodded. "They might have guessed that Shi Long Kingdom will lose and choose to leave."
To be honest, Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City should have not fallen so easily. But hearing about the chaos that happened about General Ruan's betrayal after the death of the Emperor… it could be said that the Imperial Palace was already in chaos and got even more chaotic. It was a miracle that Heavenly General Sang was able to gather people who were sane enough to go forward and deal with Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers. They lasted only for a short period of time, though. Apparently, General Ruan was inciting the soldiers who knew him not to follow Heavenly General Sang's command, so the war was easier for Fei Yang Kingdom's side. And that was not all.
"The nobles didn't seem to be so devastated," Long Qian Xing said lightly as he looked at the officials and others who gathered around. Some officials had died in the civil war, but many others were standing at the side and watched everything coldly. It could be said that these officials only cared about their own profit and didn't care too much about Shi Long Kingdom. But thinking about Emperor Shi Wang and his antics, Long Qian Xing was not very surprised. Emperor Shi Wang was not exactly a good emperor and there were many people who disliked this emperor.
They didn't dare to openly rebel and could only quietly serve this emperor while gathering their own power. The division in Shi Long Kingdom was extremely strong.
These nobles had their own power to a certain degree and they were naturally not very loyal to Emperor Shi Wang. Some of them also set their eyes on the other princes and wished they could gain power through these princes. Unfortunately, things were not so easy.
With the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom, these nobles were forced forward by Heavenly General Sang. Now that Shi Long Kingdom had lost, many of them didn't have much nostalgia left.
It could be said that they would be able to integrate quickly with Fei Yang Kingdom with this mentality. "Yes." Nan Hua nodded. "Do you want to talk with them?"
