Chapter 1250 – Qing Shihuang’s Choice

7th month, 7th day, Great Qin dynasty, Xianyang City.

Within the palace, the middle-aged Qin Shihuang stood with his back facing someone. He was looking at the map of the China region. More specifically, he was gazing at the area belonging to Great Qin; it was just a small piece. He asked, “Li Si, Great Xia sent someone, and it’s also Zhang Yi leading them?”

Just one look at his back could give a person immense pressure; this was the authority of Qin Shihuang.

“Yes, your majesty!”

“What did they say?” Qin Shihuang did not turn around.

Li Si quietly wiped the sweat on his head and stuttered, “T-they said that they hope for your majesty to become a hermit.”

Qin Shihuang kept silent.

After a long while, he turned around and looked toward Wang Jian at the side. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he asked, “If we fight against Great Xia, what are our chances?”

Wang Jian thought about it and replied, “We can try to fight.”

The meaning behind those words were worth considering.

In history, Wang Jian and his son had destroyed six countries. At the time, Qin was really prosperous, and its army was really strong. The six countries were corrupt and weak and were merely empty shells.

As a result, Qin could unify the six countries within a short 10 years.

The path began with Wei Yang changing the law, which was a result of the hard work of many generations of rulers. Qin Shihuang only completed the last blow and definitely did not dare to take all of the credit.

In the current wilderness, Qin was trapped in a small piece of land, and its army had no fighting experience. Their opponent Great Xia had a vast territory and a strong army; it was an entity that even the Qin country at its peak could not compare with.

The two sides were not even on the same level.

Hence, when Wang Jian said, “We can try.” it was the same as saying that they had no chance of winning.

Qin Shihuang looked deeply at Wang Jian and Li Si before he waved his hands exhaustedly and said, “You all can leave!”

“Yes, your majesty!”

That night, Qin Shihuang wrote a decree, passing the throne to his eldest son Fu Su before killing himself.

A ruler of a generation chose to use such a method to end his journey in the wilderness. During the last moments of his life, he looked into the sky and said, “Mother god, I should not have come!”

Gaia kept silent.

The moment Qin Shihuang killed himself, a shooting star streaked across the night sky.

…

Imperial capital, emperor city.

Ouyang Shuo, who was burning the midnight oil going through memorials, felt something in his heart, so he stood up and headed to the window. Coincidentally, he saw that star flashing past his eyes.

“The northwest direction?”

Ouyang Shuo fell deep into thought. Ah emperor star falling, was it Qin Shihuang or Tang Taizong?

“This is not what I wished for, but I have no choice.”

At this moment, Ouyang Shuo was really emotional and down. Ouyang Shuo only had the utmost respect toward both Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong. However, the situation had forced his hand, and the wilderness could not allow all of these parties to exist.

The road to greatness was filled with such helpless decisions.

…

Great Tang, Chang An City.

Tang Taizong Li Shiming looked at that eye-catching star quietly and said, “You finally made your choice. What about me? What should I do…”

Next to him was the virtuous queen of a generation – empress Chang Sun.

“Your majesty, I have always been looking forward to accompanying you to tour the world.” the empress smiled.

When Li Shiming heard that, he suddenly burst out into laughter.

“That’s right. Fighting or not is useless at this point. Why not put it down…” between family and power, Li Shiming chose the former.

Holding the small hands of the empress, Li Shiming broke out into a smile.

…

7th month, 8th day, Prince Fu Su ascended to the throne.

That day, the new Qin King Fu Su agreed to submit to Great Xia.

Su Fu’s ascension changed Qin Country history, but it was like nothing could be changed. The only thing that could be changed would be Fu Su’s position in Great Xia. He would be given the position of Qin King and would lead the Ying family to survive.

One could not help but sigh at such an ending.

7th month, 10th day, Tang Taizong Li Shiming passed his throne to Jin Prince Li Zhi, who was the Tang Gaozong in history. Following which, he went to accompany his children and disappeared from the eyes of the people.

Before disappearing, he ordered the death of Wu Zetian. Although the Li family could not be as glorious as they were in history, he did not want his family to be ruined in the hands of a woman.

The two emperors used different methods to protect their pride.

…

7th month, 11th day, Imperial Capital.

Zhang Liang’s plan had succeeded. Great Xia used a peaceful method to conquer Qin and Tang.

At this point, apart from the Mongol Empire and the Tibet that Ashoka had swallowed, the entire China region belonged to Great Xia. They were merely a foot away from unifying the region.

The nine imperial cities all belonged to Great Xia.

It was hard for outsiders to imagine what this meant, but in the eyes of the China region players, this was a huge achievement.

After all, the Chinese had a huge determination for unification.

From the 1st year of Gaia where there were thousands of Lords, to the 3rd year where the giants rose, to the Great Xia and Great Zhou face off, and finally to when Great Xia completed their rule.

The entire process took Ouyang Shuo less than seven years.

If this was not in the game, such a matter would be totally impossible. One must know that the game map was expanded by 10 times, and they went from a small village into a huge Emperor dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo was destined to be a legend.

After Qin and Tang submitted to Great Xia, the news spread throughout the entire world and attracted the attention of everyone.

…

Dawson Dynasty, Free City.

After learning that Great Xia had taken down Qin, Tang, and Song, Jack was speechless.

“Hei, this eastern dragon is finally going out to sea!”

As he said that, his eyes showed excitement and even a hint of worry.

The Great Xia Emperor dynasty that completed the unification of China would definitely focus on overseas conquering. They would have a head on confrontation with the Dawson Dynasty and even the entire Silver Hand.

The time that Jack had been looking forward to finally arrived. Who knows who would emerge as the final victor?

“It’s time to plan well for it.”

…

Mediterranean, Atlantis City.

Kalia stood on the city wall. Looking out at the vast ocean, she said, “Will he return?” Kalia did not believe that Great Xia would not come back to the Mediterranean after unifying China. After all, Great Xia had only suffered a small setback in Morocco.

“There are going to be huge waves in the Mediterranean again. I am really looking forward to it!”

Along with the territories in the Mediterranean merging, Atlantis had started to face the attacks of the Spain, Gaule, Caesar, Arab, and Egypt dynasties. It was already too much for them to handle.

At such a time, Kalia especially hoped to receive the help of Great Xia.

It was time to stir this stale pond that was the Mediterranean Ocean.

…

Indian Empire, Cusco.

After receiving the news that Great Xia had taken down the three countries, the Indian Empire king did not know whether he should feel happy or worried.

He had to admit that in these few months where the Indian Empire had faced the combined attacks of the Spain and Brasilia dynasties, the empire was having a tough time and was losing control of the situation.

“Should we get Great Xia to interfere?” Juarez could not make up his mind.

The Indians had their own pride.
