Chapter 1329

Chen Ning was in his embrace and she couldn't help giving a sigh in her heart, feeling very gratified.

He completely understood her meaning.

"Ning 'er, you did the right thing. Even if I had the Mountain Pushing Crossbow, I shouldn't have started a war. The reason you gave me the Mountain Pushing Crossbow was not to let my West Chu army be invincible on the battlefield and win every battle. Rather, you hoped that once we had a strong weapon, the countries that were eyeing us wouldn't easily invade our West Chu. A wise ruler should be thinking about how to let the citizens live in peace, living a peaceful and happy life, not constantly killing and fighting. Ning 'er, it's a good thing you're by my side to remind me, otherwise I would have become an incapable ruler immersed in war and killing! "

Mo Chuan's lips curled into a self mocking smile, but his heart was secretly on guard as his back was covered in a cold sweat.

So close!

Ever since he obtained the Mountain Pushing Crossbow blueprint, he had been thinking about many things. He thought about many things, thinking about training an elite army, thinking about creating large amounts of Mountain Pushing Crossbow, thinking about using the might of the Mountain Pushing Crossbow to easily defeat the East Qin army …..

He wanted to take back the territory that East Qin had annexed and he wanted to send troops to the East Qin capital. He wanted to force East Qin to hand over the imprisoned previous emperor and then completely defeat the East Qin army that had been acting high and mighty in front of West Chu for many years …..

He had also thought about defeating East Qin and then sending troops to Southern Peak, bringing this country that had always had ill intentions towards West Chu into the West Chu Country's territory …..

Of course this was not something that could be done in one go, he had to slowly plan it out. He believed that there would soon be a day where it could be realized!

His heart was stirred up by this lofty aspiration.

Until now!

Mo Chuan suddenly realized that if he wanted to realize all of this, it would bring the citizens years of war. Countless soldiers would lose their lives in the war, the citizens would lose their loved ones, and they would lose their peaceful homes.

Thinking of this, his back couldn't help being covered in a cold sweat and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Ning 'er, it's my fault. I misunderstood the true meaning of giving me the Mountain Pushing Crossbow. It was my killing intent that was too heavy, I ….."

"No, Mo Chuan, it wasn't your killing intent, but rather your ambition. As an emperor, you must have ambition. But now that you've understood, that's good, I'm very happy."

Chen Ning had been watching his expression the entire time. The complex emotions in his eyes did not escape her eyes at all.

Seeing his eyes become clear and firm, she couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

He finally understood her thoughts!

She wanted West Chu to become strong, strong enough that enemies would not dare invade them. Only with strong weapons would they have the capital to do so.

But being strong did not mean that they had to attack.

As an ambitious and vengeful Emperor, how could he restrain his growing ambition and not start a war when he had a strong military force? This was the hardest thing to do!

Luckily Mo Mo Chuan had finally thought of it and did!

"You silly girl, if you put so much thought into this, you could have told me this from the start. Do you think I would be stubborn and not listen to anyone?" Mo Chuan stroked her hair and revealed a faint smile.
