The capital of Shu Country, Kangrao, in the room reserved for the Speaker, Liu Jing folded the newspaper and tossed it aside. According to the plan, he had already nearly finished selling Shu Country to Qin Country.
The Shu Mountain defense line had completely collapsed, with tens of thousands of troops surrendering without much resistance. Qin Country had already crossed Shu Mountain, and now Shu Country was in imminent danger. The capital was virtually at the frontline, and the once grand territory had lost all defenses.
Kangrao was filled with panic and unrest. Everyone was proposing an immediate surrender to preserve their strength. Many were fleeing—some escaped to Chu Country, while others simply fled to the Great Tang.
Liu Jing, of course, planned to leave too, though he was not heading to the Great Tang. He intended to remain here to secretly conduct a series of handovers with Qin Country, transferring Shu Country's complete industrial assets to them.
