89: Chapter 89 Ten days later, I will return to the Great Qian!
Leng Yuexi let out a cry of surprise, her mouth slightly agape, looking at Xia Jin with a face full of shock.
"What? Looking at you, it seems you don't believe me!?" Xia Jin lowered his head to look at Leng Yuexi, finding her expression rather cute.
Leng Yuexi shook her head, but her eyes were still filled with doubt: "I naturally believe my husband's words! But I remember that before you left the Great Xia Imperial Palace, you hadn't even stepped into the Peak of the Spirit Wandering Realm. How long has it been, and you are already in the Land Immortal Realm?"
"It's nothing! Let me take you to see for yourself, and you will know whether your husband is lying or not!!" Xia Jin did not explain too much; his arm around Leng Yuexi's waist tightened slightly, and in the next instant, their figures disappeared from the pavilion and appeared high up in the sky.
"Ah!" Leng Yuexi couldn't help but cover her mouth. She hadn't reacted at all just now, only feeling that in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared from the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
Such speed, I fear, could only be achieved by someone in the Land Immortal Realm.
"Hold me tight," Xia Jin whispered in Leng Yuexi's ear.
Immediately, with him as the center, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to have received a summons, rushing over with joy. Even though Leng Yuexi did not understand what Spiritual Qi was, seeing the white mist surrounding her like a living thing, she understood that this was definitely not a technique possessed by the Spirit Wandering Realm.
Especially after she subconsciously inhaled a portion of the white mist, she was surprised to feel refreshed and incredibly energetic.
"Did you feel it?" Xia Jin asked with a smile.
Leng Yuexi nodded, leaning tightly into his embrace, her hands holding Xia Jin even tighter.
"Let's go, it's time to see Emperor Xia Yu. I wonder if this kid, during the time I was away, has completely integrated Dayuan and the Fenglin Kingdom into Great Xia." Returning to the Jin Wang Palace, Xia Jin held Leng Yuexi's hand and said gently.
Just as the two arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study, they saw Commander Qin Hu of the Imperial Guard carrying a huge roll wrapped in kraft paper, walking over.
Even with his cultivation at the Great Grandmaster Realm, carrying this object seemed to have some weight.
As soon as Commander Qin Hu turned to the side, he saw Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi. He quickly leaned the object against a pillar and saluted: "Commander Qin Hu pays respects to Your Highness and the Princess Consort!"
"That's enough." Xia Jin's gaze fell on the huge object, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. "Commander Qin Hu, what is this? Why is it so huge?"
"Your Highness, this is the map of the Eastern Region personally drawn by Princess Jiang Rou."
"A map of the Eastern Region?" Xia Jin couldn't help but frown. "I remember that in this palace, if nothing else, there should be no shortage of maps of the Eastern Region, right?"
Commander Qin Hu grinned. "Your Highness may not know, but this map is different from the ordinary Eastern Region maps we see. Once I have set it up, Your Highness will understand at a glance."
Xia Jin nodded: "Hmm! Carry it in."
"Yes!"
Just as they stepped into the Imperial Study, they saw Emperor Xia Yu and Princess Jiang Rou leaning over a huge table, whispering about something while looking at a slightly smaller map.
Hearing footsteps, Emperor Xia Yu looked up. Upon seeing Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi, his face immediately lit up with joy: "Big Brother! Sister-in-law! Big Brother, why are you back?"
Princess Jiang Rou also quickly followed and saluted: "Jiang Rou pays respects to Prince Jin and Revered Master!"
"No need for formalities." Xia Jin waved his hand, but his gaze was already fixed on the new map of the Eastern Region being carefully unfolded by Commander Qin Hu and two attendants.
As it unfolded, even though Xia Jin was knowledgeable and experienced, a trace of surprise couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
The map, nearly ten meters long, almost covered the entire wall on one side of the Imperial Study.
The mountains, rivers, cities, and strategic passes on it were all marked in minute detail. But what was even more breathtaking was that next to almost every prefecture and important town on the map, a large amount of information was densely marked in extremely small fonts: the number of garrison troops, the number of households, main grain production, specialty goods, trade routes, mine locations...
Such an incredibly detailed map was truly rare to see!
"This... did you draw this map, Jiang Rou?" Xia Jin looked at Princess Jiang Rou, his eyes filled with a trace of admiration.
Princess Jiang Rou nodded, but there was no sense of complacency on her face.
Emperor Xia Yu laughed from the side: "Big Brother, with the map drawn by Princess Jiang Rou, it will be a great help for our unification of the Eastern Region."
"Hmm! That is true! By the way," Xia Jin shifted his gaze from the map to Emperor Xia Yu, "Are Dayuan and the Fenglin Kingdom now completely integrated into my Great Xia?"
Upon hearing Xia Jin's words, Emperor Xia Yu's expression instantly became serious: "Big Brother, rest assured! With the assistance of Princess Jiang Rou, the Fusion of the two countries with Great Xia is proceeding very smoothly."
"And for the remaining four countries in the Eastern Region, according to our plan, within five months, we will definitely be able to make them surrender and complete the unification of the Eastern Region!" Emperor Xia Yu pointed to the other four areas on the map that were still marked with different national colors.
"Five months?"
Emperor Xia Yu glanced at Xia Jin, who seemed a bit dissatisfied, and smiled bitterly: "Yes, and this is still a tight calculation. After all, we still need to consider whether the Lieyang Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty in the Central Region will intervene. Otherwise, according to the letters of surrender obtained after Sister-in-law visited these four countries, I fear it would only take one month to announce their surrender to Great Xia."
"Hahahaha!" Xia Jin suddenly laughed.
"Big Brother... what is this..." Emperor Xia Yu looked at Xia Jin, his face full of confusion.
Leng Yuexi spoke up at the right moment: "I fear my husband wants to say that in the future, Great Xia will no longer need to fear those two major dynasties in the Central Region."
"Sister-in-law, why is that?" Emperor Xia Yu was still puzzled, and Princess Jiang Rou on the side was also waiting for Leng Yuexi's explanation.
"Because," Leng Yuexi looked at Xia Jin, her eyes shining with brilliance, "My husband has now ascended to the Land Immortal Realm."
"What?!"
"Land Immortal?!"
Emperor Xia Yu and Princess Jiang Rou exclaimed almost simultaneously. Commander Qin Hu, who was waiting on the side, was even more shocked; his body trembled, and he stared at Xia Jin with wide eyes, his face full of shock.
The Imperial Study fell into silence, with only the slightly hurried breathing of the few people left.
Land Immortal! That is a legendary Realm; even in the entire Dongxuan Continent, it is an existence standing at the very top!
"That's enough, it's just a Land Immortal, there is no need for you all to be so surprised!" Xia Jin waved his hand and walked to the huge map of the Eastern Region, pointing his finger at the location of the Great Qian Dynasty: "Hurry up! After the unification of the Eastern Region, our next goal is to annex the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"What?! Annex the Great Qian Dynasty?!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia Yu exchanged a glance with Princess Jiang Rou, and a trace of doubt couldn't help but appear on his face: "Big Brother, the Great Qian Dynasty has a profound foundation and has stood tall in the Central Region for many years. According to what Sister-in-law said before, their imperial family must have an existence in the Land Immortal Realm... If we make a move against them, I fear...?"
"What is there to fear? Those three, no, I should say those two old ghosts in the Land Immortal Realm in Great Qian are simply not to be feared!" Xia Jin sneered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "In Great Qian, I just happened to slay one of their Earthly Immortal old ghosts."
"Ten days later, once I have completely stabilized my Realm, I will head to the Great Qian Dynasty again."
"At that time, I will send the remaining two old ghosts in their Imperial Palace on their way together."
