Of course, he wasn't concerned about the taxation being too high, but if it increased again, Yan's taxation would be ten out of eight, and countless civilians would face starvation, children exchanged for food more numerous.

However.

King Xi of Yan was utterly indifferent, his face resolute: "If my Yan doesn't survive, then everything is meaningless."

"This is the recruitment edict."

"Qing Qin General, take the edict." King Xi waved his hand.

Picking up a royal edict from the table.

Qing Qin dared not refuse, stepped forward, and accepted the royal edict with both hands.

"I accept the edict."

King Xi nodded: "Step down, I will have everyone cooperate with you, quickly train these two hundred thousand troops to ensure combat readiness."

"I understand." Qing Qin sighed inwardly.

Training soldiers, how could it ever be so simple.

Apart from time.

There's also true battlefield experience.

After Qing Qin retreated.

A masked person dressed in black came before King Xi and knelt.

"Infiltrate Qin, tell the Princess."

"Remember what I instructed her back then, she must keep it in mind."

"Don't let me down," King Xi said sternly.

"Yes."

The person in black bowed and swiftly departed.

"Qin."

"Ying Zheng."

King Xi murmured to himself, his eyes filled with obvious dread and concern.

Ji City, Crown Prince's Mansion!

"Nearly two years."

"Just trained these men?"

Yan Dan frowned tightly, angrily looking at the batch of Dead Soldiers before him, disappointment written all over his face.

"Crown Prince."

"This is already the result of full effort training," the attendant beside him replied respectfully.

"With them, it's absolutely impossible to accomplish the great mission." Yan Dan's face remained cold, filled with gloominess.

"Crown Prince, calm down."

The attendant immediately bowed, dared not speak further.

"All withdraw."

Yan Dan waved his hand in disappointment.

The dozens of black-clad figures quickly withdrew.

"Crown Prince."

"A message just arrived."

"Wei has fallen."

The attendant said nervously.

Yan Dan's brow furrowed, his expression changed drastically.

"The day has finally come."

"From Qin's military action against Wei, only half a year has passed."

"Wei didn't even last a year."

"Qin is indeed stronger." Yan Dan's face was filled with solemnity, creating a sense of urgency.

"In truth."

"Lord Xinling of Wei originally intended long-term defense, avoiding confrontation with the Qin Army."

"But Qin General Zhao Feng was ruthless."

"Opened the Great River and Honggou River Dyke, flooding Daliang City in the capital of Wei, causing tens of thousands of Wei Army to collapse without battle," the attendant said.

Yan Dan's eyes tightened: "Zhao Feng, Qin."

"Wei has fallen."

"Qin's next target will surely be our Yan."

"There's no time, if we don't act, there really won't be any time left."

Seeing Yan Dan so serious.

The attendant dared not speak.

"These Dead Soldiers, though skilled, are too heavily shrouded in deathly aura, recognized at a glance as Dead Soldiers. If they were to execute a mission, they'd be shot down with arrows before even approaching Ying Zheng."

"To get close to Ying Zheng, one mustn't carry killing intent, mustn't appear as a Dead Soldier."

"And those you trained do not possess these traits." Yan Dan said coldly.

As the Crown Prince of Yan.

He had seen all kinds of people.

Assassins.

Dead Soldiers.

Many amateurs could be recognized at a glance.

And those under his training were precisely recognized at a glance as Dead Soldiers.

If he could see through them.

Wouldn't Qin, with so many talented individuals, see through them too?

"Crown Prince."

"I wonder if you've heard of the name Ranger Jiang Qing?" the attendant suddenly lowered his voice.

"Tell me?" Yan Dan immediately asked.

"Number One Ranger, aiding the distressed on the road, especially skilled in swordsmanship, surpassing art."

"Countless died at his hands, all vile individuals."

"Subordinates recently received his news, he's already in our Yan territory," the attendant said respectfully.

Yan Dan's expression turned solemn: "Where is he? Take me to meet him, if he truly has the capability, I'll surely remember your merit."

-----------------

Qin, Xianyang!

A thousand trusted aides rode on horseback.

The leading general emanated an aura of killing intent and authority.

Behind the trusted aides.

Dozens of prison carts also slowly moved towards the inside of Xianyang City.

At this moment.

The city gate had already been cleared.

The Imperial Guard Army took over, no one blocked the path, but on both sides of the official road, a multitude of commoners stopped to watch.

"General Zhao Feng has returned."

"Indeed, Zhao Feng is impressive."

"Truly heroic."

"It took only half a year to destroy Wei, only General Zhao Feng could achieve this, seeing the general's imposing presence today is truly a lifetime blessing."

"Precisely."

"Look, behind the general on the prisoner cart are many prisoners, their clothing is extravagant, evidently they are Wei's nobility."

"Once high above the royal family, ministers, now all are prisoners of Qin."

"Look, that's the King of Wei, still wearing a king's robe."

"For a dignified king of a nation to surrender, it's truly humiliating. If it were me, I'd have perished with my country."

"If foes ever breach the Capital of Great Qin, I'm willing to die with the enemy."

"Indeed, old Qin people, never living in humiliation..."

As Zhao Feng entered the city.

The commoners on both sides of the official road couldn't help but discuss.

To the People of Qin.

The stronger the nation, the greater the honor.

The bloodline and spirit legacy of the old Qin people, only old Qin people understand.

In history!

If only Hu Hai exerted a bit of effort, didn't treat millions of old Qin people harshly, his Qin wouldn't have perished after the second reign.
