The next day, the army set off, and the emperor, along with civil and military officials and the people of the capital, saw the soldiers off at the city gate.

The three men, including the Duke of Chen, were all dressed in military attire and rode tall horses, looking majestic and imposing.

At this time, the Ji family father and son had not yet arrived.

The emperor couldn't leave all the soldiers waiting idly at the city gate, so he had to improvise and extend his passionate farewell speech. It wasn't until his blood was almost cold from talking that Ji Feng and his son finally arrived, accompanied by another person.

"That's the Ninth Prince's war steed!" Someone who had seen the Ghost Faced horse recognized it at a glance.

Upon seeing the ghost face, the previously quiet crowd suddenly became lively:

"Who is that person sitting on the Ninth Prince's warhorse? It doesn't seem to be the Ninth Prince."

"It's Physician Xiao, the Physician Xiao who treated the Ninth Prince's injuries! I didn't expect Physician Xiao and the Ninth Prince to be so close. He even brought the Ninth Prince's war cavalry to the battle on his behalf."

"Yes, the people personally appointed by the Ninth Prince certainly can't be bad. This time, victory in the Northwest war is in sight!"

The Duke of Chen and his two sons: "..."

He was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot.

A bunch of ignorant fools! In this western expedition, the Duke of Chen's mansion is the real commander-in-chief!

You guys think the war is won just because you see the Nine Kings' mounts?

Are the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Duke of Chen's mansion not even as good as the beast raised by the Ninth Prince?

The ghost-faced creature was extremely intelligent; it sensed the hostility and contempt of the Duke of Chen and his two sons from afar.

You're the animals!

Your whole family are animals!

Lao Tzu is the invincible and unique Yazi beast, capable of taking on a hundred enemies single-handedly and slaughtering countless foes across the battlefield!

Ji Chenhai and his son did put on military uniforms, but perhaps because of the rush, their armor didn't fit them well. One was so tight he looked like a puppet, while the other was loose and looked like he was wearing a bunch of scrap metal.

But the father and son had a pretty good opinion of themselves.

Ji Fengming rode his thin, chestnut-colored horse with sparse mane, smiling broadly as he waved and greeted people along the way.

Hello everyone!

Has everyone eaten yet?

"Thank you everyone for coming to see us off, father and son. We'll definitely try to steal as much as possible... um, and kill as many enemies as possible!"

The onlookers collectively thought: "..."

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. They were just here to watch the show; they had absolutely no intention of bidding farewell to you two bandits.

Black Owl, dressed in a black cloth outfit, rode on Ghost Mask, whose fur was jet black and glossy, looking exceptionally handsome and otherworldly.

His expression, a mix of languor, unruliness, aloofness, and detachment, made him seem both mysterious and unpredictable, yet also incredibly alluring, instantly capturing the hearts of countless young female fans.

Although ancient female admirers wouldn't be so outrageous as to shout, "Dr. Xiao, I want to have your babies";

But excited exclamations like "Dr. Xiao is so handsome!" and "I can't take it anymore!" were constantly heard from the crowd.

Many girls were also excitedly discussing in hushed tones:

"I suddenly realized that the bandit brother is also quite handsome. Bandits are all so good-looking these days!"

"Is being a bandit a good way to improve your appearance? I'd love to find out!"

What young person doesn't like to show off and be in the spotlight?

Although the Chen brothers were extremely reluctant to go to the Northwest, they had carefully prepared for such a grand occasion as today's departure, just to enjoy this moment of glory that belonged to them.

Unexpectedly, they were completely defeated by a beast, a quack doctor, and a bandit. What a load of crap!
