"I never expected the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to actively protect the Ming Xiaoling!" Su Yanqiao couldn't help but exclaim after listening to the tomb guardian's explanation.
"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom openly venerates the Grand Ancestor and regards the Xiaoling Mausoleum as the rightful lineage of China. It's still just a strategy to win over Han support and jointly resist the Qing court.
But unfortunately, the structures above the Xiaoling Mausoleum were affected by the war, leaving us only a ruinous scene, with even the surrounding trees cut bare.
The nearby fortifications and trenches speak loudly of the intensity of war. Jiangning remains an unstable city."
"Old man! Has the Imperial Court sent anyone to oversee the restoration of Xiaoling? If not, I will oversee it myself!" Zhu Wencong said to the tomb guardian.
