88 High morale (1/2)
”No choice but war? Does that mean you've found the treasure?”
Shaking his head towards Linxin, whose eyes were brightly shining from her son finding out about the valuable Yin treasure which even those from the Yin Plundering Sect were searching for, Bai Long said, ”Yes, and no.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Huh?”
”Yes, I found a vault which most likely holds a treasure. But, no, I don't know if it is the same treasure we are searching for.”
Musing over what Bai Long said for a few seconds, Linxin asked the question she couldn't think of an answer to.
”If you're not sure about what the treasure inside the vault is, is there really a need to go as far as declaring war over the Zhu Kingdom?”
”It is quite possible for you to be disappointed with what is inside that vault, after you win the war.”
Unintentionally smiling while remembering the vault's door, Bai Long said, ”Regardless of what is inside it, I most likely won't be disappointed by it.”
”Why?”
”The vault's door is made with black gold.”
”Black gold? No wonder.”
Nodding her head in realization, Linxin understood both about why Bai Long was so determined to launch a war, and why the Zhu Kingdom despite having so many years of foundation was the same as the Bai Kingdom in strength.
”But... How do you think the citizens would react when they hear about the war?”
”As long as the chaos I created in the palace spreads, we can use that to improve the morale of everyone, and make them more eager to launch a war than me.”
”Huh?”
Linxin didn't understand what the chaos Bai Long was talking about in that instant, but she did after two days passed.
...
After Bai Long made his two Yin Puppets run around the palace and created such a huge commotion, it was impossible for even the King to try and keep it under wraps.
Thus, the news of two masked intruders sneaking into the palace had spread like wildfire across the Zhu Kingdom, and even reached the Bai Kingdom within two days
And by the time it reached the Bai Kingdom's capital city, the news of two intruders sneaking into the palace, and escaping, turned into them entering the palace by breaking down the main doors, and almost killing the King before they escaped and left him near death.
Sure the news was fake, but none of the people cared and even turned the news more saucy by adding even more fake additions like the two intruders r@ped various queens, the King was castrated, and so on.
In fact, the most exaggerated one was that the King had already died, and it was his successor who was keeping those facts a secret.
Hearing all of this, Bai Long who made his Yin Puppets spread the original fake news of the King almost dying, felt very happy about how the common folk loved to twist the stories into their own liking.
At the same time, he told Cao Ning to prioritize on this situation and claim that it was their spies who almost succeeded in killing the enemy king.
And even though they failed, the Zhu Kingdom's King was fatally wounded, and therefore this was the perfect time to launch a war against them and conquer the Zhu Kingdom!
Repeating those exact same words, Cao Ning turned Bai Long's words of the citizens being more interested in the war than them, true.
