Dongfang Xinghe murmured to himself, feeling more and more restless.
He was clearly the rightful Emperor, but when it ca to getting things done, he was not as effective as King Qin, instead, he was hindered at every turn...
The royal family was like this, the reform was like this, and so was the army...
"Is it because I'm not bad enough, or am I not grand and bright enough?"
Speaking to himself up to this point, Dongfang Xinghe suddenly threw the teacup in his hand: "I am the Crown Prince, how dare I accumulate fa among the people and the Jianghu like her, or dare to leave the capital without permission?!"
After kicking over the table beside him, Dongfang Xinghe asked aloud: "Where is the State Preceptor, why hasn't he co yet?"
"This servant will go check imdiately..."
The eunuch spoke up, hurriedly bent over and ran out. As soon as he opened the door, he was bumped aside by Li Xuanzhen who walked in quickly.
Dongfang Xinghe looked up, his expression stunned. After so many years, it was the first ti he saw the State Preceptor so anxious, flustered, yet with a bit of tension and joy.
"Teacher?" Dongfang Xinghe couldn't help but ask: "Is there news about the Dragon Soul Treasure?"
"No."
Dongfang Xinghe frowned: "Then you..."
"It's another good news." Li Xuanzhen took a deep breath, recalling the intelligence Wen Yuan relayed back with the fastest speed using their secret code, his lips involuntarily forming a smile: "King Qin's True Dragon descent and Martial God cultivation are all false; she was rely guided by a high figure from behind."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xinghe stood up abruptly: "Really?"
"Absolutely." Li Xuanzhen looked at Dongfang Xinghe: "This person's na is Lu Jin'an, the leader of the Jinyi Guard who rebelled from the Southern region. He's been acting along with King Qin, so once we capture him, King Qin is of no concern!"
"How strong is he?" Dongfang Xinghe asked urgently.
'Having opened only six Dao Palaces, in a place like the Eastern Dynasty, he's just slightly stronger than a Martial God but enough to be exhausted to death!'
This thought flashed in Li Xuanzhen's mind as he slowly said: "Stronger than a Martial God, so I'll have the Immortals of the Jiuli Dynasty assist in eliminating this person!"
Dongfang Xinghe was overjoyed: "Then hurry up and go!"
"I need an army of a million."
"What?" Dongfang Xinghe's smile froze: "A million... army?
Teacher, are you joking? Now that the frontline is suffering a major defeat, that's when we need soldiers. If you take away a million army at once, how am I supposed to defend?"
"Moreover, adding the Jiuli Dynasty's several Immortals, and still you can't handle one Lu Jin'an? Is that guy a demon or monster, that you still need a million army?"
"Not only that, but the local stationed troops cannot be mobilized either!" Li Xuanzhen stared intensely at Dongfang Xinghe.
Dongfang Xinghe's mouth twitched, but he still held his temper and asked: "Then where is this person now?"
"The East."
"..."
Dongfang Xinghe was about to throw another cup. The troops stationed in the East number a million too, mobilizing two million troops at once, how could he possibly contend with Dongfang Xinglan?
Recruit new soldiers?
How much would that cost!
Did they think money fell from the sky?!
"Teacher!" Dongfang Xinghe forced down the anger in his heart: "To deal with soone slightly stronger than a Martial God, do you really need such a huge army? If Dongfang Xinglan leads her army northwards, even if she can't reach Shengjing, Qiming City would surely be hers, and how could we compete then if the Dragon Soul Treasure erges?"
"As long as Lu Jin'an is killed, nothing else will be an issue." Li Xuanzhen said directly; in his mind and those behind him, killing Lu Jin'an is more important than any thousand-year-long plan.
Especially without having located the Land of Prosperity, Lu Jin'an must be eliminated!
In a place where Spiritual Power cannot be used, it is the best opportunity to kill Lu Jin'an, who only opened six Dao Palaces!
Once he is dead, and that old fox Zheng Dongliu dies, who in the Lower Realm can stop them?
By then, the wretches of the Lower Realm would only be fit to kneel and bow in obeisance!
"Teacher, regardless, two million troops are still too much!"
"I'm not negotiating with you!" Li Xuanzhen emphasized, "To eliminate him, so many are necessary!"
Wen Yuan said Lu Jin'an exposed himself on purpose, and with him coming alone, even if he can't use Spiritual Power, he surely carries many treasures, so it must be a battle of attrition, to exhaust his Vigorous Force, exhaust his life... so many are necessary!
Otherwise, even if so cultivators from Hidden Life Mountain escape Wandao Sect's pursuit into the Dynasty, Li Xuanzhen still feels unsure.
"What... what did you just say?" Dongfang Xinghe was stunned; he's the Emperor now, not controlled by the Everlasting Song, and this person... dared to speak to him like that?
Li Xuanzhen's eyelids drooped slightly: "If you want to win, if you want to unite Jiuli and Shenmiao, you must make this decision, otherwise, with Lu Jin'an helping Dongfang Xinglan, you simply cannot win."
Dongfang Xinghe frowned at Li Xuanzhen: "Is that man so strong?"
"Yes." Li Xuanzhen nodded slightly: "Even if a God descended, in this place, they might not be his match, and if we can't kill him, you and I are only headed for death."
"..."
Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Li Xuanzhen and the few eunuchs who quietly stood up around him, Dongfang Xinghe's mouth twitched.
In silence, he turned to the desk, took the Commander's Seal, and threw it to Li Xuanzhen: "I'll trust you this ti."
Li Xuanzhen received the Commander's Seal and smiled slightly: "Also, Your Majesty needs to draft an imperial decree to mobilize the army."
Dongfang Xinghe wrote as instructed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xuanzhen gave a bow: "After this is accomplished, the world will be yours!"
With that, Li Xuanzhen turned and walked out of Qingxin Hall.
Dongfang Xinghe watched as the few eunuchs followed out, and soon received news that the Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors of Shengjing were all dispatched...
He couldn't help but slap the desk hard: "A bunch of cowards!"
It's just a Martial God, does it really require such a grand arrangent?
Isn't this utter nonsense?!
Dongfang Xinghe took a few deep breaths, indeed, the Gate Valve Clan must be confiscated, otherwise, where would the money co from to recruit troops?
Without soldiers in hand, there's no peace of mind in the end.
Fortunately, everything his sister obtained was false.
That was the best news of the day.
"Empe-Emperor..."
At this mont, a eunuch rushed in flustered, stamring as he pointed outside—
"A Divine Envoy has descended upon the Divine Temple!"
