Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 171 Declaration of Victory!

The whole place was silent for a moment.

Only Song Yuan's voice echoed in the empty space.

If I can't win, I would rather die on the battlefield!

With such courage, how many people in the entire history of the Qin Dynasty can compare with him?

For a moment, everyone looked at Song Yuan with eyes full of awe.

Such behavior instantly made Song Yuan stand out.

Song Yuan clearly went to the border with the intention of dying.

How can such a feat not move people?

The one who reacted the most was Song Youji.

The originally flushed face faded away in an instant, and there was a hint of crystal in the eyes.

Looking at Song Yuan again, his eyes were full of relief.

This kid is so thoughtful, what else can I expect?

"Grand Prince, please accept my humble respect!"

"With the prince acting in this way, the Qin Dynasty will surely win this battle!"

"Who among you has such courage? Would rather die than fail? Who can match that?"

"I am willing to follow the Crown Prince to the frontier, even if it means shedding blood on the battlefield together!"

In just a moment, the whole audience was boiling.

Many generals present spoke in hoarse voices.

However, some of them are just playing around, while others are sincere.

It was hard to tell whether it was a human or a ghost.

Even the third prince looked excited at this moment.

"Brother, you are so determined that I, as your younger brother, feel ashamed of myself!"

As he spoke, the third prince came forward and held Song Yuan in his arms.

"Brother, you must come back, otherwise I will rush to the border and retrieve your remains!"

On the surface, the Third Prince appears to be a brotherly man.

But I was already cursing in my heart.

Well, you little bastard, you are really good at acting.

A simple trick can make people cry on the spot.

It’s really yours!

But now I have seen through you. You must have bad intentions when you behave like this!

I must be on guard against you!

"Third brother, I have one more thing to tell you before you leave!"

Seeing that the third prince was completely immersed in the role, Song Yuan also took the opportunity to show off his performance.

"When I'm gone, there'll be no one to take care of my father. You must pay close attention to him!"

"it is good!"

The third prince immediately patted his chest and promised.

Just at this moment, Song Youji, who had tears in his eyes, suddenly reacted and muttered to himself.

"There seem to be too many coffins!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly understood.

Logically speaking, two coffins would be enough, one for the prince and one for the princess.

Now that Song Yuan has put on such a show, is there some other hidden secret?

Fortunately, Song Yuan was well prepared. Facing everyone's puzzled looks, he immediately began to explain.

"Father, I have a close friend in the secular world. He used to live in a brothel, but on this trip, he has promised to live and die with me. I have prepared a coffin just for him!"

As Song Yuan spoke, he pointed at Jinlian in the crowd, who glared at him unhappily.

Only ghosts want to live and die with you!

Then, Song Yuan pointed in the direction of Wang Chao and Ma Han: "And Father, these two are my personal guards, but we have been together for a long time and are as close as brothers. Together with Huo Jianchuan, the three of us have already made an agreement that if we really lose this time, we will bury our bodies together!"

"Always guarding the border, looking forward to the day of victory!"

When these words were spoken, Song Youji was moved.

With such deep brotherly love, what else is there to doubt?

"Good son, my good son!"

In excitement, Song Youji stepped forward and pressed Song Yuan's shoulders, then turned around and roared loudly.

"Everyone has seen this. This is my son! If everyone in my Great Qin had such a broad mind, why would we worry about the barbarians not being defeated?"

"Listen up, everyone! The battle next spring will be a matter of life and death. Even the prince is so determined. This time, the Qin Empire will surely win!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience cheered.

At first, it was just the ministers, but later even the people around were moved by the solemn mood and joined in.

For a moment, countless voices converged together.

It seemed to turn into the roar of the earth.

The sound of torrents rushed straight to the sky, even making the clouds roll.

Especially the soldiers standing on the city wall, their eyes were burning at this moment, as if they had already seen the scene of victory.

Such a scene made Situ Jing, who was standing by, stunned.

When Situ Jing first heard about this plan, she strongly opposed it.

Going to the border with a few coffins, isn't that asking for trouble?

But now, it seems that all the soldiers in the Qin Dynasty are encouraged.

Situ Jing finally understood Song Yuan’s good intentions!

This guy is really smart. He can boost the morale of the entire Qin Dynasty by his own efforts!

For a moment, Situ Jing silently made up his mind that after arriving at the border, he could let Song Yuan take care of the matter of boosting morale.

Based on this kid's ability, he will definitely shine when the time comes.

As for leading the troops and commanding the generals, why should Song Yuan worry about that when he can do it himself?

After a long time, Song Youji, who was in the middle of the crowd, finally raised his hand.

With a light click, the scene became silent.

"Someone, bring up the gift I prepared!"

Then Song Youji roared loudly, and several soldiers carrying golden armor stepped forward from outside the crowd.

Back then in the hall, Song Youji had promised Song Yuan that he would give him a precious gift when he left.

Now these two sets of golden armor are his last gift as a father.

These two sets of armor are covered in golden light, and there are long swords on the waist. In the dynasty, only a high-ranking official of the second rank who has made extraordinary achievements can own them!

Now, Song Youji waved his hand and said to Song Yuan, "These two sets of golden armor are my final blessings to you. I only hope that you can be like these two sets of armor, forever standing tall and shining!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing this, Song Yuan and Situ Jing hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.

Song Youji's deep gaze fell on Situ Jing: "Jing'er, you are a good girl. When we get to the border, please take good care of my son!"

"Yes!" Sensing the seriousness in the other party's tone, Situ Jing hurriedly nodded.

Then Song Youji walked forward and drew a long sword from the waist of the man in golden armor.

"Song Yuan, do you recognize this knife?"

Song Yuan glanced at it, and with some hesitation in his eyes, he said, "This knife... could it be the one I gave to my father before?"

In order to demonstrate the power of the broadsword, Song Yuan entered the hall with the sword and presented the finished product in his hand as a gift to Song Youji.

However, he didn't expect that the other party would mount the knife and return it to him again.

The profound meaning behind this is truly moving.

"That's right!" Song Youji nodded, and then handed the knife to Song Yuan.

"Take this knife and pretend that you are going into battle for me. Remember, when the battle begins, you must stain this knife with the blood of the enemy. Only in this way can you wash away the shame I suffered that day!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Song Yuan took the sword with a touch of respect, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Put aside the father-son relationship.

However, the act of bestowing the sword gave it a different meaning.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this knife, Song Yuan is equivalent to possessing an imperial sword, which is equivalent to having an extra amulet.

With this knife in hand, Song Yuan's subsequent plans will surely go much more smoothly when he reaches the border area.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Song Youji waved his hand, turned around, and pointed at the coffin.

"Also, let me correct you. What you just said is wrong. You can take this coffin with you, but it's not for you!"

"This coffin is for the enemy, for the barbarian Khan, for their high priest!"

"This thing is used to hold the corpses of enemies. You must fill it up and bring it back to me as a gift!"

"I understand. When I arrive at the frontier, I will not let my father down!" Song Yuan was slightly moved when he heard this.

Song Youji corrected her in this way, with a father's love filling his heart.

If she didn't care about her son, why would she be so conflicted about what to say?

However, while feeling moved, Song Yuan turned around and glanced at the third prince beside him. Then he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and finally walked forward.

"Father, before I leave, I have something to give you!"

Before speaking, Song Yuan had already taken out a letter and calmly put it into Song Youji's hand.

"Father, please take this letter back to the palace and read it. I will remind you to remember it carefully!"

Faced with Song Yuan's behavior, Song Youji felt it was a little weird, and his eyes were full of confusion.

But Song Yuan's action caught the eyes of the third prince standing by, and made him tremble with fear.

What on earth did this little bastard write in his letter?

Are you going to trick me before you leave?

I went to his place yesterday and showed off, he must be unhappy.

Now that he's making such a fuss, it's obvious that he's trying to trick me!

In just a moment, the Third Prince became alert. In order to avoid trouble, he hurried forward and asked softly.

"Brother, what's the secret in this letter?"

"If you ask me, it's better to open it in public so that everyone can have a look!"

You little bastard, are you trying to trick me?

I tell you no way!

The third prince had clearly made up his mind at this moment to fight to the death.

If there was anything in it that was detrimental to him, he would drag Song Yuan down with him even if it meant risking his life.

The Third Prince's words aroused Song Youji's curiosity. Looking at the envelope in front of him, the supreme ruler couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, what's in here?"
