You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 395 Miaoyun's Worries

"Here!"

All the ministers responded respectfully.

"Those who ventured into the sea to develop the area are all citizens of our Great Qin. Although our Great Qin army has basically cleared that area, there are still some lurking dangers. Therefore, our Great Qin army must do everything possible to protect the safety of these people..."

"But all of that is predicated on ensuring one's own safety. If the situation is hopeless, there's no need to risk one's own safety to carry out a rescue..."

Ying Chen spoke again.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, all the officials shouted in unison.

"Ok!"

"Get to work, everyone!"

Ying Chen nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

After bowing to Ying Chen once more, the officials withdrew from the hall and went about their own business.

News of the Qin Dynasty's conquest of a portion of the sea area spread rapidly throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, whether in the Xuanxing Domain, the Molan Domain, or the Diling Domain.

Countless people of the Qin Dynasty were overjoyed by this. Thanks to the Qin Dynasty's propaganda, the people of the Qin Dynasty were no longer as ignorant about the sea as before.

They knew the dangers and power of the sea, but despite this, their Great Qin easily conquered a portion of the sea, even if it was only a small area close to the land, it was enough to excite them.

"The imperial court's actions are incredibly swift! They just summoned people a while ago to explore the seas, and only today has passed! They've already conquered a portion of the seas. That's truly rapid!"

"It seems this sea area isn't as powerful as the imperial court claimed! It was conquered so easily..."

"Is it possible that it's not that the sea is weak, but that my Great Qin is too powerful?"

"..."

The people of all parts of the Qin Dynasty were talking about this, and many who considered themselves to have some strength went to the registration points in various places, hoping to join the team exploring the sea.

However, it was too late. The manpower to explore the sea area had been recruited enough, and there were no plans to recruit more at this stage. If the Qin Dynasty continued to expand its territory in the sea area, it might recruit again. Therefore, those registration points were still kept open.

This made those who didn't register immediately feel ashamed and regretful, wondering why they hadn't registered right away.

It's like eating shit before it's even hot.

Seeing those around them who had already registered showing off, they felt even more regretful. They secretly vowed that next time registration opened, they would be the first to register and would never fall behind again.

Leaving aside the reactions across the Qin Dynasty, at this moment, inside the imperial palace in Xianyang...

After instructing Huangfu Sixuan on cultivation, Miaoyun also began to review the report from the Great Qin Dynasty regarding the expansion of its maritime territory.

As the head of the Pavilion of Offerings, she would receive intelligence reports on major events that occurred within the Great Qin Dynasty.

A look of surprise appeared on her face. She really hadn't expected that the Great Qin would start taking action in the sea area. This was truly beyond her expectations.

She had some understanding of the sea. Although there wasn't much interaction between the creatures of the sea and those of the land, it was still something that people of her level could understand.

The sea and the land are basically no different now. She has seen powerful figures in the sea and tried to win them over to form an alliance with the human race, but all attempts have failed.

Because the powerful beings in the sea don't even look down on the land. The resources in the sea are several times that of the land, and the human race has nothing that can defeat them.

However, she also deeply felt the power of the sea.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Just then, Huangfu Sixuan, having finished her cultivation, came to Miaoyun's side and asked in confusion.

Miao Yun handed the intelligence report to Huangfu Sixuan, who took it and read it with a puzzled look.

"Master, the Qin Dynasty had already decided to explore the seas beforehand. Generals Cheng Yaojin and Chang Yuchun led their troops away to conquer the seas. Didn't you know that?"

Huangfu Sixuan looked at Miaoyun with a puzzled expression after seeing the contents of the intelligence report and asked.

"Um... I had some things to take care of recently, so I haven't been paying attention to what's happening in the Qin Dynasty. I really don't know anything about this..."

Upon hearing Huangfu Sixuan's words, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Miaoyun's face, and she spoke up.

"I see, then it's understandable that you didn't know, Master..."

Huangfu Sixuan nodded without any doubt. Miaoyun had indeed been absent for a while, and that period coincided with the time when the Great Qin announced its exploration of the sea.

Afterwards, Huangfu Sixuan told Miaoyun everything about the Qin Dynasty's exploration of the seas.

Miao Yun's expression turned somewhat solemn upon hearing this.

"Master, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Looking at Miaoyu's expression, Huangfu Sixuan spoke anxiously.

"The seas are not as simple as you think. The seas that Qin has conquered are close to land, and the sea creatures here are generally not very strong, so Qin can easily occupy them..."

"However, the deeper we go, the stronger the sea creatures become. Great Qin has now officially set foot in the sea, and sooner or later we will clash with the true powerhouses of the sea. With Great Qin's current strength, we are no match for them..."

Miaoyun voiced her concerns.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Sixuan's face showed a look of worry, and she said anxiously, "Doesn't that mean that Great Qin is in danger? No, I have to tell the Emperor about this..."

After saying this, Huangfu Sixuan planned to go find Ying Chen and tell him about it.

"Don't be hasty! I said sooner or later, not right now, that we'll encounter those powerful sea creatures..."

Miao Yun grabbed Huangfu Sixuan and said with a speechless expression.

Huangfu Sixuan realized that she had been too hasty. After Miaoyun's words, she calmed down.

"Even so, we should still tell the Emperor about this, so that he can take precautions in advance!"

Huangfu Sixuan continued.

"You! Did I say I wouldn't tell the Emperor?"

Miao Yun tapped Huangfu Sixuan's forehead and said helplessly.

"You silly girl, you're really single-mindedly devoted to the Emperor. You think about the Emperor in everything. I, as your master, probably have to take a backseat to the Emperor!"

Since Miaoyun gave Huangfu Sixuan some guidance last time, Huangfu Sixuan has begun to face her own heart and no longer hide herself. Her relationship with Ying Chen has been further improved. Although they are still one step away from completing the task, they both know each other's thoughts, but neither of them has said it out loud!

"No way! Your disciple still cares about Master very much..."

Huangfu Sixuan lowered her head and said shyly.

"Oh? Is that so? Then if you had to choose between your teacher and the Emperor, who would you choose?"

A smile appeared on Miaoyun's face as she looked Huangfu Sixuan up and down and teased her.

Huangfu Sixuan caught Miaoyun's teasing, and her pretty face immediately turned bright red. She said, somewhat embarrassed and indignant, "Oh dear! Master, you're making fun of me again..."

"Hahaha!"

When Miaoyun saw Huangfu Sixuan like this, she burst into laughter.

"Alright! I will personally go to see the Emperor and explain the pros and cons of this matter to him. Do you want to come along?"

Miao Yun looked at Huangfu Sixuan and asked.

Huangfu Sixuan nodded shyly, indicating that she wanted to go along.

The two then headed towards the Imperial Study.
