Tomin in The Alien World

Shang Jing's Imperial Palace was not suitable for sightseeing. The structure inside was too complicated and the area was too large. Even if one only wanted to explore the first floor, it would still take a whole day.    

Accompanied by Wu Ying, Ah San, Yin Lan, Cheng Jin and the others, Tang Yin walked up the mountain. On the way, she often saw palace maids shuttling through the palace, so Tang Yin asked Wu Ying: "How many people are left in the palace?"    

Wu Ying was startled, she anxiously took out a small booklet and flipped through it, then said: "King, there are over 2300 palace maids in the palace, and there used to be close to ten thousand guards, but those are all People of Chuan Country, and they have been withdrawn along with the Chuan Army."    

Tang Yin nodded his head, if he wanted to take care of such a huge palace, the number of palace maids would definitely be great. He said: "We will send out a regiment from the Directly Subordinate Army to serve as palace guards temporarily. We have just received them from the Shang Jing and no matter what, the palace cannot afford to fall into trouble."    

"Yes, Your Majesty, this lowly general will handle this matter well." Wu Ying cupped her hands and said.    

Tang Yin and his group walked from the palace's first floor all the way to the highest floor. At the top, there was a huge platform called the Heaven Mending Platform.    

When he ascended the balcony and looked down, he could almost see the entire capital. It was also Tang Yin's first time standing on the Mighty Heaven Platform and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions as he mumbled to himself, "This place is really 'going to be at the peak of perfection, looking down on all the small mountains'!"    

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Wu Ying walked over and asked softly: "Great King, are we really going to move our Feng Country to Shang Jing again?"    

Tang Yin nodded and said: "Of course! Since the Son of Heaven wanted to return to Shang Jing, the capital of Feng Country would naturally follow him to Shang Jing. This is the capital of the empire, and in the future, this will also be the capital of my Feng Country. "    

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath. It was not because he wanted to move the capital, but because Tang Yin's words clearly indicated that he wanted to take over.    

Wu Ying said as she furrowed her eyebrows, "But we have just moved out of the city, and it's already a waste of money. Since we haven't fully stabilized yet, if we move to the capital at this time, would we... What kind of trouble was this? Furthermore, south of Shang Jing is the territory of Chuan Country, it is neighbors with Chuan Country, so the capital city should be located here.    

Tang Yin smiled lightly, and said: "It is precisely because Shang Jing is located at the border of Feng Country and Chuan Country that I am considering moving to Shang Jing. The capital city is located in a place which is an important place to our nation, and it is bound to be filled with heavy soldiers. In this way, we can prevent the Chuan Army from heading north, and it is also convenient for our troops to attack the Chuan Country at any time.    

After a short pause, he smiled and said, "Of course, risks and opportunities coexist. The capital will definitely be in Shang Jing, and it will also create a tense atmosphere, so that the ministers in the court will not be too tired."    

Wu Ying was worried, but seeing that Tang Yin was insisting, she did not say anything more.    

Seeing that the conversation between the two had come to an end, Yin Lan immediately stepped forward and laughed: "Great King, why don't we not return to the inn today and stay in the palace?"    

After he finished speaking, he looked at the people around him with strange gazes. Yin Lan hurriedly explained: Such a huge palace, even if it was empty, it would still be empty. Moreover, this place is much better than the environment of the relay stations.    

Hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The palace wasn't a place where you could live just because you wanted to. Even if it was empty, even if they had already accepted Shang Jing, they still had to obey the rules at least.    

No matter how poor the conditions of the relay stations are, they are still better than the barracks. We can live in the barracks, but can't we live in a relay station?" Tang Yin said calmly.    

Yin Lan shrunk her neck back from the reprimand, and did not dare to say more.    

Walking until dusk in the imperial palace, Tang Yin and his group left the imperial palace and returned to the relay station. On the way back to the inn, Tang Yin intentionally lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at his appearance.    

The current Shang Jing was not much different from the first time he came here. It was still bustling with activity, as if there were still many people passing by.    

In the past few years, Shang Jing had changed owners consecutively, and there were countless wars going on, but it was, after all, the capital. Whether it was the former Zhen Jun army or the Chuan Army later on, they would all be restrained a lot when they ruled the capital.    

Without a word, Tang Yin took the carriage back to the inn and temporarily stayed in Shang Jing. Right after taking over Shang Jing, he had a lot of matters to take care of, so Tang Yin could not manage them all by himself.    

On the third day of Tang Yin's stay in Shang Jing, a shocking piece of news suddenly came over.    

This afternoon, Tang Yin was walking in the garden of the relay station after lunch. At this time, Le Tian and Ai Jia ran over quickly.    

Tang Yin's face was still as calm as before. When the two of them got closer, he slowly asked: "What happened?    

"Great King, something big has happened!" Ai Jia spoke first.    

"What is it?" Tang Yin's gaze swept over Le Tian and Ai Jia's faces.    

"I just received news that when King Chuan is on her way back ? "She's sick." Le Tian took a step forward and whispered into Tang Yin's ears.    

"What?" Tang Yin's body trembled upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan was sick? Is this true? Was Xiao Xuan really dead? He frowned and asked, "Is the news reliable?"    

"Your Majesty, definitely reliable." Ai Jia answered, "Right now, all of our Chuan Army are in rags and in mourning. There are also white flags raised in the army camps.    

Le Tian nodded his head, showing that Ai Jia was right. Xiao Xuan was actually dead ? Tang Yin was still a little unable to react to this sudden news. With furrowed brows, he took two steps back and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.    

He did not speak. The scene was so silent that everyone was staring at him. After an unknown period of time, Tang Yin suddenly stopped, and said solemnly: "Investigate! Immediately send more people to investigate, we need to find out if Xiao Xuan is really dead or faked his death! "    

Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other, and immediately after, the two of them clasped their hands and bowed, and said: "Yes! "Great King!" After they finished talking, the two of them ran out of the inn like a wisp of smoke.    

Tang Yin's eyeballs moved incessantly, when he suddenly thought of something, he raised his hand and said: "Ah San!"    

"Your subordinate is here!" Immediately send someone to inform Muqing not to return to the Zhenjiang, and lead the troops immediately to Shang Jing! " Tang Yin said in a serious tone, "Also, your Sanshui Army will also have to come along with your Pingyuan Army."    

"Yes!" "Great King!" Ah San answered and quickly ran out.    

At this time, Tang Yin's heart couldn't help but throb. If Xiao Xuan really died, then his Chuan Country would become chaotic in the near future, and this would be a rare opportunity for his side to send out their troops.    

In the next few days, the scouts from the Feng Country arrived in Shang Jing like passing lanterns. Every message was saying that Xiao Xuan had died of an illness, and it was absolutely true. Even the spies from the Feng Country who were hiding in the capital replied that the Zhaoyang had received an urgent letter regarding the illness of the King Chuan, and everything was in a state of chaos.    

Through the series of information he received, Tang Yin was basically certain that Xiao Xuan was indeed sick. If he was to act, it would be impossible for the entire country to act, the cost would be too high. Tang Yin made up his mind. No matter what, he couldn't miss this chance.    

Several days later, with Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Qing Yu as the leaders, they travelled through the night all the way to Shang Jing. The total strength of the three armies now was close to three hundred thousand people, adding the Directly Subordinate Army under Tang Yin's command, the total was four hundred thousand people.    

After seeing Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Qing Yu in the great hall of the relay station, Tang Yin was the first to ask: "Have you heard news of Xiao Xuan's illness?"    

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Reporting to the king, I have heard about it."    

"What do you think?"    

"Last General... It is still impossible to ascertain whether this matter is true or false. " Xiao Muqing revealed a face full of suspicion, and said: "King Chuan's health has always been good, why would he suddenly die? Your Majesty, this lowly general believes that there might be a trick to it. "    

Others might not be able to see it, but Tang Yin could tell that Xiao Xuan's body wasn't well, and was already in a state of exhaustion. This time he travelled to the Divine Pool and was even tricked into going to Shang Jing.    

He did not say it out loud, but asked instead, "Muqing, if Xiao Xuan is using deception, tell me, what is his motive?"    

"This ?" Xiao Muqing laughed bitterly and shook his head, then said: "This is precisely the strangest part, I really can't find the benefit of King Chuan faking his death for my Chuan Country. Logically speaking, if the King Chuan faked his death, her goal should be to lure our country in, so the Chuan Country should have prepared an ambush beforehand so that we could face the enemy head-on. But right now, the Divine Pool is on our side, Xiao Xuan should be from the bottom of his heart, unwilling to start a war with our country, so why would he faked his death to lure our army to attack? This lowly general really doesn't understand. "    

Tang Yin snapped his fingers, and laughed: "You're right. Given the current situation, it is not too late for Chuan Country to avoid battle, so how could they take the initiative to lead our troops to attack? So, I judge that Xiao Xuan is truly sick, and right now, for our country, this is the perfect opportunity to send troops! "    

Xiao Muqing took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at Liang Qi and Qing Yu, asking them about their intentions.    

This was a serious matter, so Liang Qi and Qing Yu frowned. After a while, Qing Yu asked: "When does the King plan to send out her troops? How many troops were deployed? Are they going straight for the Yellow Dragon City, or are they going to take advantage of the land? "    

Tang Yin laughed, he stood up and then waved at Ah San who was on his left and right. The two of them immediately took out a long canvas and spread it out on the ground. Everyone lowered their heads and looked, only to see that it was a map of the north of Chuan Country.    

After looking around at the crowd, Tang Yin walked over to the map, and unsheathed his sword from under his ribs. He pointed at the map and said: "Here! What I want is Chuan Country! "    

Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Qing Yu subconsciously followed suit and stood up, lowering their heads to look at the place Tang Yin pointed.
