Chapter 170 - 168: Zhuge Liang Goes to the East Border_1
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am completely confident!" Zhuge Liang replied confidently, his expression serious.
Li Si and many other ministers frowned slightly, wanting to say something. However, seeing the calm expression on Qin Wudao’s face, they closed their mouths.
"Good! I shall trust you this once!"
Qin Wudao pondered for a while, recalling the information about Zhuge Liang in his mind. He knew the latter was not a rash person and agreed to this risky decision. It was indeed a risky move, but there was no other way around it!
There were too many battlefronts opened up, and the enemies they faced were too formidable. The only forces the Qin Empire could rely on were the defensive armies around the Imperial Capital. However, these armies’ combat power could not match that of the forces of the Divine Court of Light. Thus, there wasn’t much difference between going and not going!
"As you decree!"
"I will take my leave to prepare!"
Zhuge Liang respectfully saluted and slowly exited the main hall, his steps steady and relaxed, as if he faced no pressure at all.
After finalizing the plan, Qin Wudao had no interest in further discussions. He chatted briefly, then allowed the ministers to retire. He stayed alone in his study, reviewing memoranda.
Not long after, a ripple appeared in the Void. Li Ru’s figure emerged, standing quietly off to the side as he observed the busy Qin Wudao.
"Is there any news?" Qin Wudao asked, looking up as he finished the memoranda in his hands.
"Your Majesty, this is news from the northwest region. The Scorpion Clan has invaded again!" Li Ru replied with a slight bow.
