Chapter 1330 It's all under God's control
Because he had two tokens.
The token located at the back of his head and neck was implanted relatively recently, likely when he was chosen as the tribe's illegitimate prince.
As Jiang Dalang listened, he thought of Qin Xiaomi... If Su Su were here, she would definitely say, "Isn't it possible to implant gold artifacts into muscles without fear of infection, suppuration, tetanus, and death?"
Qin Xiaomi, who wasn't present: You bastard, don't even think about me in this kind of situation! It's disgusting, it ruins my appetite!
Jiang Dalang quickly put aside his longing thoughts, picked up his pen, and enlarged the patterns and textures of the two small keepsakes.
After much effort, the drawing was completed, and then it was compared with large images, patterns from ancient books and albums, and the actual keepsake.
After fussing over it for half an hour, they came to a conclusion: "The physical token, the ancient books and albums from the imperial palace, and the new design copied by Commander Jiang are all identical and have no differences. Therefore, they can be confirmed as genuine."
These words stunned many commanders, who realized a shocking truth: "The ancient book dates back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Zhou has been gone for hundreds of years, yet the tokens of the Eastern Desert royal family have remained unchanged..."
These words shocked even Blue Tiger and his personal guards.
"The land of Wei has changed hands several times, but the Eastern Desert has remained unchanged to this day..."
How terrifying!
"The fact that the royal family of the Eastern Desert has continued uninterrupted for over a thousand years shows that the barbarity displayed by the people in the heart of the Eastern Desert is very different from what they appear to be. They must have a very complete system for maintaining their rule... We have encountered a formidable enemy, and this formidable enemy has been developing next to us for over a thousand years without our noticing. We even regarded them as barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, so we underestimated them and didn't bother with them."
As Deputy General Lang finished speaking, his tone became melancholic.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Commander Zhen slammed his fist on the table, shouting, "What are you doing? We can't let these beasts grow arrogant and diminish our own prestige. Let's put it this way: no matter how powerful the Eastern Desert is, they treat people as military rations, which is going against the will of Heaven. Heaven will not allow such beasts to prosper, so our Great Wei will definitely win!"
Fan Qianhu, itching to speak, retorted, "But the Eastern Desert has its own gods; they don't believe in God."
Bang! Crash!
Commander Zhen slammed his fist on the table, causing the water bowl to fall to the ground: "Is there a sky over Dongmo? If there is, then our Heavenly Lord is in charge! Alright, shut up! If you keep babbling, I'll go to Master Qin and complain about you, and he'll make sure you get less of the weapons!"
Damn it, that guy surnamed Zhen is bullying Qin Dongjia just because he knows him a little longer.
However, Commander Fan wisely kept quiet.
Vice General Lang was stunned: "..."
The Eastern Desert is powerful and domineering, while our comrades are of this character.
Jiang Dalang said at the right moment: "The Eastern Desert is cruel and heartless. It is impossible for such an Eastern Desert not to change masters... The pattern on this token should just be a rule that has been passed down, just like our Imperial Seal. Since the beginning of the dynasty, the Imperial Seal of the State of Wei has never changed, but Wei has changed countless dynasties."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Lang perked up completely: "Big Brother's analysis is correct; I was thinking too much."
"Alright, the token has been verified correctly, and the head serves as evidence. The victory report of killing the Eastern Desert royal family is now secure." Deputy General Lang instructed, "Send the victory report and send it back to the capital city by fast horse to boost morale."
"Yes." The centurion of the personal guards responded. After all the victory reports were written and stamped with the army's official seals, he immediately dispatched a scout team of ten men to ride back and deliver the reports.
"Great news! A resounding victory! General Liang's forces have routed over 30,000 cavalry from the Eastern Desert, killing royal nobles and nobles from the east, north, and west, and capturing countless warhorses, armor, and weapons. Xue Feng of General Liang's Jiang Qianhu unit, along with the Blue Tiger Mountain militia, even used weapons crafted by Qin Dongjia to kill a member of the Eastern Desert royal family! The Wei army is mighty! Great Wei will surely prevail!!"
The scout captain personally shouted the message, explaining it in great detail, and led the team delivering the victory report, galloping out of the temporary camp.
Upon hearing the news of the victory, the Wei soldiers and mountain people were astonished: "They really killed a member of the Eastern Desert royal family?!" "Yes, they really killed a member of the Eastern Desert royal family?"
"The good news has already been sent out, how could it be fake?"
"It's absolutely true! They really killed a member of the Eastern Desert royal family. It was Brother Jiang, Brother Xue Feng, and our Brother Lan Hu who killed him together. With just one strike, the Eastern Desert royal family was shattered!" The mountain lads (half-grown children) were afraid that others wouldn't know about Lan Hu's achievements, so they immediately jumped out to confirm it as soon as they heard someone say it.
"Aren't we mountain people amazing?" he said smugly, waiting to be praised.
The Wei soldiers were very respectful, laughing and saying, "Impressive, impressive... We've all heard of the fame of your Blue Tiger Banner Commander, General Alan, and the Four Chieftains. You're truly remarkable and admirable."
"You're too kind. You guys are amazing too. We've learned a lot fighting alongside you. The way we used to fight was just a chaotic brawl, with no strategy whatsoever... Strategy is a new, elegant term I just learned. Pretty cool, right? I'm thinking of changing my name to something like that..."
He went on and on, revealing his talkative nature.
"Bai Guozi, be more reserved!" The young men from the mountains nearby quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away. They added, "Brother Jiang is also very capable, but Boss Qin is even more capable. She can cure diseases, lead us mountain people to wealth, and make powerful weapons! I want to go and become her apprentice!"
Shirogako, whose mouth was covered: "..."
Reservation?
How are you any more reserved than me?!
Upon seeing this, Young Master Zhao was overjoyed. He hurriedly ran back to the horse guard post and found Deputy General Zhao: "Father, Father, the weapon is incredibly powerful! It killed a member of the royal family of that beast from the Eastern Desert. A member of the royal family must be heavily protected, yet the weapon killed him from a distance!"
"We might actually win, and we might actually avenge Brother Su and the others!"
In the Battle of Dingmangtai, all of my father's uncles and brothers died in battle. Even their bodies were taken by the Eastern Desert soldiers as military rations. They wanted to build a grave, but there were no bodies to bury.
He and his father risked their lives to escape to the capital city, and through their connections with the Northwest Army, they successfully informed General Liang of the military situation.
They were given the opportunity to guide General Liang and fight against the Eastern Desert people.
but……
The people of Dongmo were simply too formidable. They couldn't defeat them, and neither could General Liang. They could only watch as the Dongmo soldiers dissected the Wei soldiers alive on the battlefield.
Young Master Zhao, recalling the horrific scenes he had witnessed along the way, was overcome with rage and nearly fainted. He was caught by Deputy General Zhao: "Boss, are you alright? Are you hungry? Have some oily and sweet dumplings and you'll feel better."
"Father, I'm fine. Your son will definitely hold on until after the war. I will definitely see the fate of the beasts from the Eastern Desert with my own eyes. I will definitely go back to the Tai Zhou Mansion and take care of the children like Jin Douzi until they get married and have children, and serve you and your parents until they die." Young Master Zhao wiped away his tears, straightened his body, ate half of the oil and sugar dough balls, and returned the other half to Deputy General Zhao: "Father, you eat too. We all have to hold on."
Deputy General Zhao: "Yes, we must all survive to the end."
The father and son also had another task: to report the truth about the murder of Marquis Wenchang to His Majesty... A marquis was killed, but it was ultimately determined that he died in battle, and the Yong family even benefited from this, becoming the Duke of Yong.
Regardless of who benefits, the fact that a marquis was murdered in this way means the mastermind behind it must be using this case to cause trouble.
Once the mastermind starts causing trouble, if it is detrimental to the dynasty, His Majesty, or the Northwest Army, they must stand up and expose the truth to prevent the mastermind from succeeding.
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Deputy General Lang orders that the battle is over. In 25 minutes, the entire army will break camp and return to the capital!" Hundreds of messengers ran and shouted, informing the entire army that they were about to return to the city.
