After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 489 Ministers of the First Emperor
Kong Hui said, "The Third Prince was sent to the Qing Dynasty as a hostage by the Duanye family a few years ago."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Before, it wasn't certain whether the Third Prince could be used, but now that she's said so, it's definitely usable.

"The Qing Dynasty is no longer a super dynasty, so why would it still have the Third Prince?" Lin Zhao asked.

Even though she had only been in the Ancestral Dragon Plane for a short time, she knew that the concept of a hostage was only used by a lower dynasty to show respect to a higher dynasty. Now that the Qing Dynasty had been downgraded and was on the same level as the Qin Dynasty, it was not qualified to keep the other dynasty's prince.

Kong Hui sighed, "So what if he's not qualified? The Duanye family won't allow the dynasty to send someone to bring the Third Prince back. His Majesty has many children and has almost forgotten about this one."

Lin Zhao then asked, "How much does Your Excellency know about Young Master Duan Ye?"

Kong Hui said, "The Duan Ye family heir whose origins are unknown is said to be the illegitimate son of the Duan Ye family head. The Duan Ye family head only has one daughter. This young master Duan Ye suddenly came to the Duan Ye family to claim kinship three years ago, and within three years he squeezed out his own sister to take the position of the young master of the Duan Ye family."

Three years ago, a few years later, the Qing Dynasty's schemes against the Tianhuang Plane would have been completely thwarted.

Lin Zhao had previously thought that the Duan Ye family was the culprit who plotted against the Lin family, but now it seems that the Duan Ye family was just another disguise for this dark hand.

It's impossible that the strongest forces capable of establishing connections with the Qing Dynasty consisted of only three Transcending Tribulation cultivators.

However, this does not affect Lin Zhao's attitude towards the Duan Ye family.

In any case, after his scheme in the Qing Dynasty failed, this guy appeared before the world as Young Master Duanye, so the Duanye family must know something.

……

In the basement of the Duan Ye family, a tall, slender body was immersed in a deep red medicinal liquid. As the color of the liquid gradually lightened, the aura of this figure became increasingly dangerous.

"My lord, what is your strength?" The middle-aged man with a small mustache stroked his mustache and asked excitedly as the other party stood up.

"I've probably recovered to the Integration Stage, but the dragon blood is still insufficient." Young Master Duanye looked at his body and frowned in dissatisfaction: "This body isn't strong enough either. If that Purple-Eyed Glazed Body had arrived, why would I have to be so hesitant to absorb even a single dragon's blood? And that Dao Group Dragon Soul, the Ji family's trash is truly useless. Back then, when we handed over the Qing Dynasty to them, this is how they ruined it."

The middle-aged man with the mustache is the head of the Duanye family and the public father of Young Master Duanye.

Hearing Young Master Duanye mock the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, he grinned from ear to ear. "The Qing Dynasty dared to kill the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. Even if they still have the strength to struggle, the three elders of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane will not allow them to return to the ranks of super dynasties. I wonder which dynasty Your Majesty intends to support to become a super dynasty?"

Young Master Duanye glanced at him with a half-smile: "I've given you so many years, and this is all you've achieved? You still want the position of a super dynasty?"

The head of the Duanye family laughed heartily, "Didn't our lord say that those who are content to remain subservient to others are all useless?"

Young Master Duanye clapped his hands: "If you can resolve the issues with these general clans of the Great Qin Dynasty before the war begins, I will consider sending people from there to help you. Until you resolve these general clans, I will not offer you any assistance."

Whether these clans can actually mobilize the powerful members of the Qin Dynasty's royal family is one thing, but it's another that Young Master Duan Ye isn't afraid to use his true power against these families. He's quite wary of that Great Perfection Transcending Tribulation member from the royal family.

A being who has transcended the tribulation to the Great Perfection stage must have a channel of communication with the Five Lords of the Ancestral Dragon. If they discover my true power, then things will get really interesting.

Before obtaining that shard of the Ancestral Dragon's soul, Young Master Duan Ye absolutely did not want to confront the Five Lords of the Ancestral Dragon. He had long disliked these generals who would serve the royal family.

The head of the Duanye family smiled slightly. "Rest assured, Master, we are already handling this matter. Most of the younger generation of experts from these families are currently training outside, and the rest..."

Young Master Duanye glanced at him and said, "Then I will keep an eye on it."

Although the Duan Ye family has only developed to this extent over the many years of the Qin Dynasty, after the failure of the Qing Dynasty, the Duan Ye family is now the most suitable force for him. This is why Young Master Duan Ye chose to appear before the world as the young master of this force.

To the outside world, he needs an identity that can be seen in the sunlight. This identity cannot be too high or too low, and it must bring about significant progress because of his appearance, so that his reputation and plans can proceed step by step.

He couldn't reveal his true identity as the former top general under the First Emperor. He had to climb the ranks step by step with a moderate status to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I'll leave the Great Qin Dynasty to you for now. My strength has recovered somewhat during this period, and I've sensed the location of the Ancestral Dragon's soul. I'll go and deal with things there first. I hope that when I return, you will have already dealt with the Jiang Clan."

"Yes, your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations."

……

When Feng Chenlan returned and learned that Lin Zhao was going to take another three months of leave, her expression became somewhat distorted.

“This is fake…” Feng Chenlan looked at Lin Zhao, who was usually an incorruptible officer but was now in a very difficult position: “Do you really want to join the Western District Legion?”

Even the kindness of saving his wife cannot undermine his military discipline!
Lin Zhao said, "There are some things that need to be resolved. Joining the legion is also to contribute to the future war between the dynasties."

Even after resolving the internal problems of the Qin Dynasty, Lin Zhao was still uncertain about the Qin Dynasty's future external campaigns. She only felt more at ease when she was in the army.

Lin Zhao didn't know much about the other legions, and he was too lazy to spend time fabricating identities to infiltrate them. With a ready-made legion and its high-ranking members to his liking, Lin Zhao certainly didn't plan to leave.

Feng Chenlan's expression twisted for a while: "It can be approved, but the position of Second-Level Doctor cannot be kept for you indefinitely. The rank of the Legion is maintained by military merit. You have not made any military merits in four months, so even I cannot maintain your position as Second-Level Doctor."

One of the reasons the Western District Legion is renowned is its strict military discipline and absolute impartiality. Feng Chenlan has already lowered his bottom line to the extreme by saying this, all for Kong Nan's sake. If it goes any further, Feng Chenlan would rather not be in charge than agree to it.

Lin Zhao didn't care about any title: "Then thank you very much, sir."

Kong Nan asked, "When will the medicinal herbs arrive?"

"I've already asked someone to prepare it, and it should be delivered around noon the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao said, "Then I will ask for leave the day after tomorrow."

Feng Chenlan: "..."

Feng Chenlan, who already disliked Lin Zhao for repeatedly provoking her military discipline, would have really wanted to retort to her if it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhao had saved Kong Nan.

—What does the delivery of medicinal herbs have to do with you, a cultivator in the Enlightenment stage? It's as if you can refine seventh-grade pills, and you even asked for leave the day after tomorrow.
