Taking on a New Name
"Are you alright?" Zheng asked me.
We were back in our wagon, returning to Ping He Fu. Nian Qu and Qin were returning to Han Manor with me the next morning, so we had to pack up for the return.
Though the Emperor was much better, he began to have a coughing fit while explaining Yin Shang's situation.
It was evident that there was no good in having our nations fight each other. But if King Lang - Emperor Lang, now, had taken over Tong Zhen's towns, he wanted to expand his empire.
The thought made me sick to the stomach.
What was Lang trying to do? With his father gone, was he going to try and take over the world?
The original peace treaty was signed about 4 Kings ago. Now that Lang claimed himself as Emperor, the peace treaty would no longer be in place.
The worry was that whatever I had done in Jin Tang could have caused Lang to think appearing superior was the right move.
Biting my lips, I nodded to Zheng's question.
