The three hundred thousand strong Li Tang army stood solemnly in place, making not a single sound.
Their gazes toward Qin Xiao were filled with fanatical reverence!
"Your humble general kneels before the Qin Emperor!"
"We have executed seventy thousand members of the noble clans! Not a single one escaped!"
Li Jingtian took a step forward, knelt on one knee, raised his spear high, and roared with fervor.
All the other soldiers knelt to the ground in unison!
Awaiting Qin Xiao's orders.
The great mountain that was the noble clans had completely collapsed from this day forward!
And what would follow was the era of the Qin Emperor!
An era where everyone in the world could become like a dragon!
Qin Xiao looked up at the sky.
It was noon, and the sun was blazing.
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
He could already feel the loyalty of the former Li Tang ministers toward him.
Qin Xiao's gaze fell upon the commoners kneeling on the ground, their faces full of panic as they shivered in fear.
Wearing tattered clothes, their eyes were filled with uneasiness and anxiety.
Qin Xiao sighed softly in his heart.
He raised his hand and waved.
"Since I have come, I will absolutely not allow the people of my Great Qin to suffer!"
"Men! Open the granaries and distribute the food!"
As his voice fell.
The entire world suddenly fell silent!
Pairs of eyes landed on Qin Xiao in unison, their pupils rapidly dilating and catching a fiery, passionate light.
They did not cheer; they merely threw themselves to the ground!
The thudding sounds of their kowtows echoed loudly.
Tears and mucus flowed freely as they cried and wailed together!
All fear, despair, worry, scars, and pain... were swept away!
These simple and honest commoners willingly dedicated their lifelong loyalty to Qin Xiao!
Supported by the masses!
"Your Majesty! Long live! Long live! Long live for ten thousand years!"
The people of Wu Zhou—oh no, they should now be called the people of Great Qin.
They shouted in unison, like a landslide or a tsunami, deafening and resounding through the clouds!
Soon.
Pots of steaming millet porridge were brought out.
Coarse flatbreads and steamed buns were distributed to the commoners.
They wolfed down the food, crying as they ate, unable to speak!
They all knew that this was the food that would keep them alive!
Pairs of eyes full of gratitude looked at Qin Xiao, brimming with loyalty and thankfulness!
They swore in the depths of their hearts.
To follow their great Majesty to the death!
As for the former Wu Zhou Dynasty.
They had long thrown it to the back of their minds.
Why should they pledge allegiance to a country that treated people like livestock!
Even the former ministers of Li Tang felt the same way.
Without the slightest surprise.
They even acted as if it were a matter of course.
They had long anticipated exactly what Qin Xiao was going to do.
They could not stop it.
And this scene today was the best possible outcome!
They gained their benefits, and the commoners would be able to live and work in peace under Qin Xiao's leadership.
After Qin Xiao settled the commoners.
He immediately began the cleanup operation.
"Li Jingtian!"
Inside the Golden Throne Hall.
Qin Xiao sat upon the dragon throne, scanning the assembly of civil and military officials.
Present were the officials of Great Qin, as well as the former ministers of Wu Zhou and Li Tang.
Without exception, all of these people had surrendered.
Among them, Qin Xiao selected a portion of capable officials for his own use.
As for the remaining corrupt officials, Qin Xiao chose to grant them death.
Li Chen stood to the side, his face full of respect.
"Li Jingtian! I command you to lead the three hundred thousand strong Li Tang army to quell the rebellions for me. You must execute all those who plot treason while the nation is in peril!"
During a time of national turmoil, many grassroots figures rise up.
Perhaps they might establish merits and careers in a chaotic world, but under Qin Xiao, the only outcome for rebellion was death!
Li Jingtian stepped forward, his armor clanking, and knelt on one knee.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! Your humble general will definitely not fail this mission!"
His eyes were resolute, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.
He was deeply moved in his heart.
He was a former minister of Li Tang and originally thought he would be stripped of his armor after this incident.
He never expected that Qin Xiao would still entrust him with such a heavy responsibility!
An emperor with such a broad mind.
Who could not submit to him?
"Go! No matter what methods you use, I want you to pacify the realm at the fastest possible speed!"
Qin Xiao waved his hand.
Li Jingtian stood up, resoundingly accepted the order, and strode away!
The entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Qin Xiao looked toward the assembled civil and military officials, as well as the newly promoted talented individuals.
He waved his hand, dismissing all of them.
When the Golden Throne Hall was completely empty.
Qin Xiao sat on the dragon throne, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"Soon! In half a month at most, this realm of Wu Zhou will submit to me!"
Li Jingtian still needed a little time to quell the rebellions.
The rebels were only a small minority, and they were nothing but a rabble.
As for why it would take as long as half a month, it was because marching and waging war required time.
Qin Xiao did not just send Li Jingtian and his men out.
He also ordered all five hundred thousand Qin soldiers, leaving not a single one behind, to go and crush the rebellions.
He wanted to quell the post-war chaos as quickly as possible.
He needed the entire realm to settle down as soon as possible.
This way, his mission would be complete.
"I feel that the group from the Abyss Forbidden Ground is coming..."
"Before that happens, I must be fully prepared!"
Qin Xiao slowly closed his eyes. The cultivation technique within his body circulated rapidly as he entered a state of secluded cultivation.
...
Meanwhile.
News regarding the Wu Zhou Dynasty spread across the entire Divine State at an incredible speed!
The news was like a gust of wind, sweeping across the world!
Countless people were left with faces full of shock upon hearing that Qin Xiao had conquered Wu Zhou and was now sitting upon the dragon throne in the Golden Throne Hall!
