Chapter 1504: Chapter 4: The Plan to Devour the World, Kinghood Ceremony

No matter how much Li Guanyi and others wanted to advance new strategies, they couldn’t act in front of these two envoys. Among them, the Chen State Envoy had brought a large amount of gold, silver, beauties, and antique artifacts.

The Ying Country Envoy also brought a large amount of gold, silver, and beauties.

Upon seeing the palace where Prince Qin resided, both envoys expressed their regret. The Qilin Army soldiers held great respect for Prince Qin, and seeing the behavior of these two envoys, they were naturally displeased but could not openly confront them.

They merely said, "Do you find anything amiss?"

The Chen State Envoy showed a look of surprise, then repeatedly said, "How could we dare, how could we dare? It’s just that we heard that Prince Qin is a world-renowned hero, unmatched in youth, and a top figure of our era. However, the place he resides in is a bit too shabby."

"With such splendor, how can it match Prince Qin’s illustrious reputation?!"

"I feel a sense of regret for Prince Qin."

The Qilin Army soldiers felt that there was some truth to these words.

Yet they still said, "Our king is different from Emperor Chen and Emperor Ying, not fond of luxury and comfort."

Both envoys added, "We know the Qilin Army is frugal, and that Prince Qin cares for the people. If willing, we are willing to bring craftsmen, gold, and silver, and spend our own money to build a palace for Prince Qin as a gift!"

Faced with such words, the Qilin Army soldiers didn’t know how to refute them.

The envoys from Chen and Ying spread rumors in secret, claiming that such a residence does not match Prince Qin’s achievements, lacks treasures to highlight his majesty, and lacks beauties, dance, and ceremonial music to showcase his poise.

It was truly a great regret.

For a time, even the victorious Qilin Army’s morale and the Heavenly Strategy Mansion’s situation swayed slightly, becoming a bit restless, which was human nature. Only Li Guanyi, upon receiving such news, simply said:

"They are not our match on the battlefield."

"So now they choose this method? Planning to corrupt us with gold and beauties?"

Wen Lingjun said, "Many soldiers already think they have a point. Students in the Academy, officials, also feel you should display your glory during the Crowning Ceremony, conforming to ancient rituals."

Li Guanyi said, "I see."

He stood up, holding the sword at his waist, and said, "The new families have finally started to emerge."

Wen Lingjun sensed a bit of fierce aura.

Li Guanyi said, "With victory comes restlessness; with restlessness, one becomes susceptible to provocation. Throughout history, many heroes have fallen at this juncture. We cannot repeat their mistakes."

"Please tell Fan Qing that the matter he mentioned earlier should be put on the agenda."

"However, this cannot be rushed. The Crowning Ceremony is soon."

Li Guanyi’s eyes shone with divine light.

Inside him, the Nine Provinces Tripod faintly glimmered.

Li Guanyi had understood that the Nine Provinces Tripod is a Sacrificial Vessel; the more solemn the ceremony, the more it can invoke Qi Fortune and the Nine Provinces Tripod. By conducting the Crowning Ceremony according to those ancient rituals, it will surely allow the Nine Provinces Tripod to accumulate Qi Fortune.

However, this time, Li Guanyi did not plan to follow this trend.

In the torrential flow of the world, one must stand firm and maintain one’s inner resolve.

He gripped his sword and said softly:

"I shall clear away this bit of restlessness for you all."

"Reforge the heart."

Li Guanyi did not notice that as he decided not to follow the trend potentially reviving the Nine Provinces Tripod, the glimmer within the Tripod became deeper, seemingly nurturing something.

The entire Eighteenth State of Jiangnan was faintly like the grand ceremony of Chen Country that day, gathering different forces and systems from all over the world—Chen Country, Ying Country, Western Regions, Southwest, Martial World, court, Central State, and even the Turkic.

The last time such an event occurred, Li Guanyi was one at the edge of the vortex.

Now, he is the source stirring this global vortex.

The visitors come either to congratulate, seek fame, wealth, or to drain the young king’s ambition and heroism with many forces watching.

The Crowning Ceremony.

Begins.
