All the courtiers in the hall knelt on the ground. "We, the humble officials, beg Your Majesty to send troops to the border, pacify the four countries, and enhance the prestige of our Qianyuan country!"
Qi Yuanjing nodded as if to comfort him, and said gently: "I am very relieved, everyone please calm down."
All the kneeling courtiers stood up, except Prince Gong, who remained in his previous posture without moving.
"Brother, please get up quickly."
But Prince Gong still did not move. Qi Yuanjing glanced at Gao Yi beside him.
Eunuch Gao went down the steps and was about to bend down to help, but as soon as he touched Prince Gong's arm, he fell sideways to the ground.
"This, this." Eunuch Gao was startled and turned to look at Emperor Jing.
Qi Yuanjing pursed his lips and tried to hold back his smile. "My brother has been overworked these past few days. Please call the imperial physician to treat him."
"Yes." Gao Yi quickly took people to carry Prince Gong to the side hall.
Gu Lingze bowed and looked at Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Qi Yuanjing nodded at him.
When he turned around, he glanced at the court officials. They trembled all over, remained silent, and dared not even move.
Gu Lingze sneered, waved his sleeves, and the tightly closed palace doors all popped open, then he strode out.
When the court was dismissed that day, many court officials supported each other as they left the palace.
Now, let alone the fact that Gu Lingze had no intention of governing the Qianyuan world, even if he did, with such incredible abilities, people like them could not and dared not stop him.
Finally, Emperor Jing waved his hand and ordered Qianyuan to send an army of 400,000 to attack the four countries.
On the morning of their departure, all the family members gathered together and cried as they sent them to the city gate.
The streets of the capital were quiet. Unlike in the past when people lined the streets to see off the enemy before a battle, the common people and merchants all stayed indoors to express their anger.
Emperor Jing, the Queen and two other princes were standing on a high city wall, and behind them stood several ministers who had previously advocated war.
Seeing them, Qi Yuanjing's face was solemn, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He waved his sleeves and said majestically: "Go, let the four countries know what Qianyuan's wrath is and what destiny is!"
Gu Tianhua and the others were touched by the emperor's trust and knelt down to pay their respects. Gu Lingze and Emperor Jing looked at each other from a distance and bowed deeply to him.
"Hahahahahaha, four hundred thousand people against a million troops?" Prince Gong laughed so hard that he fell back and forth, and ended up touching the wound on his body. His laughter stopped abruptly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Deng Binyu said at the side: "No matter how powerful Gu Lingze is, he is just an alchemist. Those tricks of pretending to be gods are useless on the battlefield."
Prince Gong sneered, showing no trace of his usual sickly look.
"Once Gu Lingze and the general who guards the country die, Qin Chuhan will fulfill his promise and force Qi Yuanjing to abdicate. I wish Your Highness an early ascension to the throne."
At this moment, Qi Kangde's eyes were full of naked desire, as if the throne was right in front of him and within his reach.
Northern Camp.
The four-nation coalition has been besieging nine border cities for nearly a month, and every day they send people to shout in unison to persuade them to surrender. The content of their words is nothing more than the rhetoric of an evil star descending to the world to confuse the monarch.
Some people didn't care, such as the 150,000 Northern Border Army under Gu Tianhua, but some people became suspicious and even resentful.
The emperor sent 400,000 troops to fight against an army of one million, but they had less than half of the enemy's strength. What's more, the reason for the war was actually because of a so-called evil star?
All these statements combined would surely make the soldiers feel discouraged.
This time, in addition to the 150,000 Northern Border Army, there are also 100,000 troops brought from the three major camps in the capital. The remaining 150,000, including 80,000 Chongning Iron Cavalry and 70,000 troops from the Five Capitals Guard Camp, are on the way.
"Asshole!" Gu Tianhua threw the letter in his hand fiercely on the table. "Horse plague?" He snorted coldly. "It's clearly an excuse made by that old bastard Shi Yangzhuo!"
The Chongning Iron Cavalry usually pays the most attention to horses. The last time a horse plague broke out was decades ago. How could it just happen this time? It's clearly a random excuse to shirk responsibility.
"General, there is no need to do this. In such a situation, Commander Shi must not want to die. This is human nature." The speaker was Wang Wencheng, the commander-in-chief of the three camps.
"Bullshit!" Gu Feirui was furious when he saw him talking like that. "This is the emperor's order. If you are afraid of death, you can disobey it. Who would come to fight?"
The atmosphere in the tent was tense, but Gu Lingze was extremely busy in the secret realm.
After Gu Lingze finished drawing all the talismans, he stretched his waist, turned around and left the secret realm.
I was so busy and made so many preparations, but I didn't expect to forget one of the most basic medicinal herbs. But it doesn't matter, there should be plenty of them in the mountains and forests here.
Seeing him leave the camp alone, several soldiers outside the tent exchanged glances quickly and followed him soon.
After Gu Lingze came out, he wanted to use the Shrinking the Earth into an Inch technique directly, but he didn't expect a group of followers to come from behind.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, put down his hands and stopped making hand gestures. He wanted to see what the other party's purpose was.
Even though Gu Lingze slowed down his pace, the other party was surprised by his speed. Thinking that they were far enough away from the camp, one of them drew out a dagger and quickly approached behind Gu Lingze.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce the opponent's vest, Gu Lingze unexpectedly turned around suddenly as if he had eyes behind his head. Before he could put away his panic, Gu Lingze pointed two fingers directly at his forehead.
"Come out, everyone." Gu Lingze said slowly. The people following him were shocked. They didn't expect that the other party already knew that they were following them.
He didn't care about anything else at this moment, he shouted loudly and rushed over.
There was a clang as the weapons collided, but Gu Lingze just stood there without making any move.
The man he had targeted before immediately stood in front of him with a sword in his hand and became his thug.
The other guys looked at each other and asked, "What are you doing!" But they didn't get any response from their accomplices.
The situation before them was extremely strange, but since they had come here, there was no way to retreat, so they gritted their teeth and shouted angrily: "Demon, die!" and all of them rushed forward with swords in hand.
More than a dozen figures attacked at the same time, but Gu Lingze turned around and started picking herbs without caring.
Only when the sound of swords and sabers behind him slowly stopped did Gu Lingze clapped his hands and turned to look over.
All the people who fell to the ground had their hands broken at the knuckles and many knife wounds on their bodies, with blood gushing out.
They couldn't understand why the situation turned out like this. Why did Wang He suddenly rebel?
But the most puzzling point is that they are usually equally powerful, but today they are no match for Wang He alone. It is really unbelievable.
Gu Lingze looked at them lying on the ground in a mess and asked indifferently, "Who sent you here?"
No one spoke. Gu Lingze smiled and said, "Very good." Then he said to the people beside him casually, "Go, kill them all."
