Chapter 143: A world of cannibalism, Li Chengdao’s ambition!
“Whether it will be a real marriage or not is up to you two. At least do it for your Yan country’s people to see, so that they know that the rumor that the princess of the Tang Dynasty is coming to marry is true!”

“And I believe that this matter will soon spread to the Tang Dynasty, so that those people can feel at ease…”

Li Chengdao looked at her seriously, then said calmly: “Okay.”

The word “ordinary” describes her life.

Yes!

It’s her whole life.

In ancient times, after a woman got married, even if it was a fake marriage, how could she dare to continue looking for a man outside?
Some people would, but with Qin Ruyao’s personality it would be absolutely impossible.

Although this life was easily ended, this was also what Qin Ruyao hoped for.

Still the same sentence.

She carries a heavy burden of peace on her shoulders, which makes her feel suffocated every moment. Only by marrying the ruler of Yan State can she alleviate the pressure.

“Thank you for agreeing to this unreasonable move.”

Qin Ruyao bowed to Li Chengdao, gracefully and dignifiedly.

Li Chengdao smiled and said, “We are a family after all. As long as the request is not too excessive, I will agree to it.”

“Ruyao, I had already ordered people to build your palace before I knew you were coming to Yan Country, but it will take some time to complete.”

Qin Ruyao nodded and said, “Your Highness, I understand.”

“But there is one more thing I want to know. I wonder…”

Li Chengdao interrupted directly: “It’s okay to ask.”

Qin Ruyao thought about it, as if she was brewing something, and after a while she said, “I saw many Yan country people on the road, crying and enslaved. Why is it so?”

Li Chengdao smiled and said, “There is no place for them in the future of the empire.”

His words were light and indifferent, as if he did not regard those people from outside the city as human beings.

Qin Ruyao was stunned.

Li Chengdao thought for a moment and continued, “If you want some people to be rich, someone has to bear the pain and serve as fuel.”

“They are fuel, the most suitable fuel, the best fuel that can speed up the development of the empire.”

Qin Ruyao sighed: “Isn’t it… a bit too cruel…”

Li Chengdao looked at her deeply and said, “Ruyao, don’t advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering.”

“You don’t know what the Yan Kingdom is like, nor do you know what kind of suffering the people in my inner city have gone through to get to this day, so if you stay a little longer, you will know why the people in the outer city are arranged like this.”

“Of course, I know you, who are kind-hearted, will still find it hard to bear, but you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the history of the rise and fall of civilizations, so you should know that in the thousands of years of history of this land, many things have happened and there are many contents.”

“But in the end it can be summed up in two words: cannibalism.”

“This is a cannibalistic world. Either you enslave me, or I enslave you. Even if you don’t feel like a slave, it’s just that your horizons are limited.”

“We are all bound by something called desire. Human desire is like a rolling stone on a mountain. Once it falls, it can never be stopped.”

“So, if desires don’t stop, then this cannibalistic world order won’t stop either.”

“Obviously, I and the thousands of people in the inner city are all ordinary people. We all have desires, so they must be enslaved and enslaved until the last drop of value is drained away!”

“They can be unwilling and angry, but my people and I never care, because the fist is not on their side.”

“My people and I are the ones who make the rules!”

After hearing these words, Qin Ruyao knew that she could not shake the will of the man in front of her.

He had a firm belief, but besides that, she really didn’t know much about this land, so she didn’t dare to make any further comments on this.

“I see.”

Qin Ruyao nodded, and then walked out, but halfway through, she seemed to think of something and turned back and said, “By the way, on the way, General Kaiyang and the others…”

General Kaiyang was involved in another battle and was trapped.

This is what Qin Ruyao learned from other Dayan soldiers.

“I know.” Li Chengdao interrupted, paused, and continued: “Before you came, someone told me.”

“You should have a good rest. I will take care of this matter.”

The voice was calm, but it was full of promises. Qin Ruyao said no more, bowed, and left the palace.

After he left, Li Chengdao paced back and forth on the spot.

It was obvious that the Kaiyang incident was a deliberate counterattack launched by Li Jing.

They didn’t know what the purpose was, but they were sure that they were targeting Kaiyang.

“Want to fight?”

Li Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly.

For the time being, Yan State is more suitable for recuperation.

Moreover, the news of the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty also reached here, and he also discussed the plan against the Tang Dynasty with Su Dingfang and others.

Of course, it’s not just war, there are many other things besides war in the struggle between countries.

Refer to the relations between countries in later generations, impose economic sanctions, create a good image for oneself and thus attract talents from other countries, etc.

war….
When it is no longer a crushing situation, it is never the best choice.

He hesitated.

He, who was always arrogant, also hesitated.
“Tianji, what do you think the king should do?”

Li Chengdao looked at the helmet next to him. It was the helmet that General Tianji had always worn, and he kept it.

Say it.

Li Chengdao couldn’t help but laugh at himself: “I actually asked for advice from the dead. How… foolish.”

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.

I plan to discuss this with other people later.

however.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, causing the King of Chu to take a step forward.

Li Chengdao was surprised.

He turned around, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

In a dim light, he saw the Taoist priest who was the first to choose to follow him, dressed in Taoist robes, looking at him with a smile.

“I see. You also think that dignity is more important.”

“And dignity is earned with fists.”

Li Chengdao laughed and said, “It seems that we have to fight this battle with Goguryeo.”

His goal became firm.

Then he looked towards the void.

“I’m really sorry to bother you. You, who should be resting in peace after death, are still worrying about the living. I really… thank you for your hard work.”

Li Chengdao sighed.

The moment he finished speaking, the shadow in his eyes disappeared.

“Somebody come!”

Li Chengdao said loudly.

Soon someone came over and bowed, saying, “Your Majesty.”

“Go! Call General Su and General Pei to come to me, and tell them that we are going to start a new war, targeting Li Jing. This war is called dignity!”

Li Chengdao opened his mouth slowly and said something shocking.

The man was startled and stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and bowed and left.

After experiencing two wars, Da Yan is about to fight a new war in Jiangdong and deal with a new country.

All this is thanks to the deceased General Tianji.

However, is this really the case?
There is no resurrection of the dead in this world, it is just a fantasy of the living.
