Chapter 1186 – Chengying Sword of the Top Ten Famous Swords

Great Qing Dynasty, Jingdu City, Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Kangxi Emperor, who was over 50, sat with a scary dark face, “I did not expect Great Xia to actually give up on what is near to them and attack the one further, not going for Song and Ming and instead coming for us.”

The current Kangxi was like an old lion whose authority was challenged. Facing the challenge by a young lion, although he was furious, there was nothing he could do about it.

When Kangxi willingly joined the six country alliance, he was hoping to make some easy gains while the others fought, thinking that the bigger the flames of war in the south, the safer he would be in the north.

Who would have expected that he would end up dropping a stone on his own feet?

During these few days, legion after legion of Great Xia gathered toward Beijiang Province, moving toward the border. Even a fool could see what Great Xia intended to do.

This was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day to Great Qing.

The brows of the present Sonin, Suksaha, and Oboi were locked tight. Seeing that his majesty was about to rage, Sonin, who held the most authority, said, “Your majesty, why don’t we hand over the cauldron? Will that solve the current crisis? I’ve heard that even Qin and Tang have handed over their cauldrons to Great Xia.”

Kangxi waved his hand off, “It’s useless. If it were a month ago, and we took the initiative to hand it over, maybe there would be some hope. Now that they have already sent their troops, no matter how we seek for peace, it would not happen.”

As he said that, Kangxi had some regret. He regretted that he was greedy and wanted to use the cauldron to threaten Great Xia to get some benefits. Who knew that this would sow hatred and even lead to them being at risk of getting wiped out?

In the eyes of Kangxi and the other officials, Great Xia chose to attack them because of the cauldron. After all, Song and Ming had both handed over their cauldrons.

What they did not know was that the Mongol Empire was preparing to attack the Turkish Khanate.

When Oboi saw that, he stepped out and said, “Your majesty, since we cannot have peace, let’s prepare for war.”

In history, Oboi was killed by a young Kangxi. In the wilderness, Kangxi was even older than Oboi. The current Oboi was in his best years and had not lost his ambition and fighting spirit. He was also the main general of the Qing army.

The Great Qing that moved into Jingdu was mostly made up of Manchu officials. The Han race ones either chose to seclude themselves or moved to other countries. Very few were willing to stay and work for Great Qing.

People like Yao Qisheng, Zhou Peigong, Lin Zexu, and the like moved to Great Xia. Only officials like Cao Yin and Nian Gengyao who were tangled up with Great Qing chose to remain.

Kangxi nodded. His brows never relaxed during the process.

Since moving into Jingdu, the Jingdu imperial city guards had changed into the eight banner iron cavalry. They were trapped in the small and narrow Jingdu Prefecture and did not have any place to show their skills. How much of their usual standard they could show when they faced the Great Xia Army was a worrying prospect.
