He then hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.
With a grave expression, he arrived outside the palace and gave direct orders to the guards:
"Go immediately and relay the order: have all warriors and soldiers in the city assemble at the city gate and await orders!"
"The Daqing army will arrive soon!" Upon hearing this, the guard turned and left without hesitation to carry out the order.
Time flies by, and an hour passes in the blink of an eye.
The Confucian king led an army of 200,000 men, surging like a tidal wave to the area below the imperial city.
In the imperial city, Emperor Baoding stood atop the city wall, gazing at the Daqing army below, whose morale was high and whose resolve was as solid as a rock. An indescribable sense of despair welled up in his heart.
He knew all too well that the end of Dali was near, and the fate of national ruin and family destruction seemed inescapable...
Emperor Baoding remained silent for a moment, then leaped onto the city wall and shouted to the Confucian Prince and others below:
"Is that His Highness Prince Ru of Daqing below?"
When the Confucian king heard a person dressed in a dragon robe calling his name, he knew in his heart that this must be the emperor of Dali.
A slight, disdainful smile played on his lips as he rode his horse directly to the city gate and calmly stated in a condescending tone:
"I am indeed the king."
Emperor Baoding took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He knew the power of the Confucian King before him; as a Grandmaster-level expert,
He could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from the Confucian King below, as imposing as Mount Tai.
He knew that the outcome of the war was already decided, and that continuing to resist would only cause more people in Dali to suffer.
Therefore, he decided to set aside his dignity and seek peace with the Confucian king.
Emperor Baoding gritted his teeth and said firmly:
"Your Highness, I wonder if it is still too late for Dali to surrender now?"
If you are willing to spare the people and royal family of Dali, I am willing to abdicate the throne to you.
And led Dali to become a vassal state of Daqing.
When the Prince of Ru heard Emperor Baoding's words, he couldn't help but sneer, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
His eyes were full of mockery and disdain as he sneered:
"I have already given Dali a chance, but your old monk Ku Rong is very stubborn! He said that Dali will fight to the end!"
Therefore, I, the King of Dali, am determined to destroy you all.
After saying that, the Confucian King swung his spear sharply, sending a fierce burst of energy hurtling towards the city wall.
boom!
Although this was just a casual strike by the Confucian King, it still created a hole in the city wall.
When Emperor Baoding, standing on the city wall, saw the Confucian Prince's attitude, his last hope was shattered, and his eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
He knew he couldn't change the situation, but deep down he still held onto a sliver of hope.
He secretly rejoiced that Duan Yu had already gone to the Song Dynasty, which meant that...
They still have a glimmer of hope in Dali, and are not completely wiped out.
When the Prince of Ru saw Emperor Baoding remain silent, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and returned to the front of the army, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
His voice, like thunder, resounded through the sky, carrying boundless majesty and domineering power, as he shouted: Kill!
Upon hearing the words of the Confucian King, the Grandmaster behind him immediately channeled his inner strength and slammed his palm against the city gate without saying a word.
This palm strike was incredibly powerful, seemingly containing boundless energy.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard, and the city gate was instantly breached, as if destroyed by an invisible force.
Before Emperor Baoding on the city wall could react, he saw that the city gate had been broken, and his heart was shocked.
Just then, a temple messenger suddenly rushed forward, holding an iron pillar in his hand, and stabbed at Emperor Baoding with great speed.
Emperor Baoding had no time to dodge; he felt a sharp pain in his throat and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief, then closed his eyes and passed away.
One hour later, the 200,000-strong army of the Confucian King swiftly ended the fierce battle, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.
They defeated the Dali army with overwhelming superiority, demonstrating their formidable strength and unparalleled fighting power.
The Confucian king nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered Kumārajīva and Li Qiushui to each lead an army of 50,000 to conquer the other cities of Dali.
They will continue to expand their gains and bring the entire Dali region under their rule.
three days later.
Dali, Western Xia, and Tibet were all conquered by the Confucian King. It was only after the Liao, Jin, and Song dynasties received the news that...
The Great Qing under the Confucian King had become the fourth largest country in the world, no weaker than the three great powers.
White Horse World.
Night falls.
In the residence of the Marquis of Zhenxi in Qiandong City.
Today, Baili Chengfeng specially prepared a banquet and invited Li Chengtian and Mingyue Xin to attend.
At this moment, in this brightly lit and lively banquet hall, everyone is sitting together.
As the host, Baili Chengfeng sat in the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile.
As a highly anticipated distinguished guest, Li Chengtian was seated in the first seat on the left, highlighting his esteemed status.
Mingyue Xin sat gracefully in second place, while Wenhu Jiu was in third.
On the right-hand side, Lady Wen and Baili Dongjun sat in turn.
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.
At this moment, Baili Chengfeng raised his wine cup, toasted Li Chengtian, and said gratefully:
"I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for bestowing such exquisite swordsmanship upon my son, Dongjun, enabling him to soar to great heights."
To become a figure comparable to the Eight Young Masters of Beili.
Upon hearing Baili Chengfeng's words, Li Chengtian smiled slightly and calmly replied:
"No need to thank me. Baili Dongjun already possesses profound internal energy at the Vajra Mortal Realm level."
I merely helped him break through to the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Qiandong City, Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and everyone sat around in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Li Chengtian's casual remark about Baili Dongjun's breakthrough made Baili Chengfeng think even more highly of him.
As the heir of the Marquis of Zhenxi in Beili Kingdom, Baili Chengfeng had experienced countless battles and was very knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had ever seen a young man like Li Chengtian.
He looks to be only in his early twenties, not much older than his son Baili Dongjun, but his strength is unfathomable.
Even he couldn't tell; his every move exuded the aura of a powerful figure.
Then there's Mingyue Xin, who's always by Li Chengtian's side. She doesn't seem like an ordinary woman, either in appearance or temperament.
What shocked Baili Chengfeng even more was Mingyue Xin's strength.
Baili Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He never expected that after a lifetime of hard work and conquest, he would end up being no match for a girl in her early twenties.
Baili Chengfeng glanced at Baili Dongjun and said, "Dongjun, why don't you hurry up and thank His Excellency!"
Baili Dongjun ignored him. Normally, Baili Dongjun always respected Li Chengtian, but today, with his father present, he felt inexplicably displeased!
Seeing that Baili Dongjun was ignoring him, Baili Chengfeng was a little annoyed: "Have you forgotten what I taught you at home?!"
Baili Chengfeng's tone was low, clearly on the verge of exploding, but he held back out of respect for Li Chengtian.
Normally, Baili Chengfeng would definitely make sure his rebellious son experiences fatherly love properly.
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun was displeased: "Young Master, Grandfather can scold me, and Mother can discipline me, but you are the only one who can't! If you're not convinced, let's have a fight!"
"Let me show you the new swordsmanship that His Majesty taught me."
As Baili Dongjun spoke, he slowly stood up and even tried to draw the long sword from his waist.
This was the first time anyone at the table had ever seen the Baili family father and son arguing, and their expressions were all rather serious.
Li Chengtian, however, remained completely relaxed, raising his wine glass and looking at the father and son with a playful expression.
He had always heard that the Baili family father and son were at odds, but seeing it today, it was even more intense than he had imagined.
In the original drama, Baili Dongjun was initially a spoiled young master who was pampered by Zhenxi Marquis Baili Luochen. He was very rebellious, especially towards his father, Baili Chengfeng.
They're the type who'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles if left unattended for three days.
