While Ye Li was happy, he also felt some regret. It must be said that Prince Ji led his men in burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds.
The Wolf King is similar; in fact, he was the culprit behind this border turmoil.
He was probably going to die anyway, but unfortunately he ran fast and disappeared into the vast grasslands beyond the Great Wall. Ye Li is now unsure where that guy went.
"This is the end for now. As for the Wolf King, I'll go to the Northern Territory to find him properly when I have the chance in the future."
Now, the external calamities have subsided, leaving only internal ones: natural and man-made disasters…
Ye Li knew very well what he would be facing next, and it wasn't just the barbarians like the Three Kings of the North.
The problems of the imperial court are getting bigger and bigger. Recently, another tax was levied on the whole country, supposedly to pay for the repair of the late emperor's tomb.
The rebel armies across the land have changed from the original twelve rebel kings to the current twenty-three.
About half of the true forms of those who enter the Tao are dragons or giant snakes, and the rest are all kinds of demons and monsters.
Several local military leaders remained inactive, plundering money and grain to ensure the supply of their own troops while watching the rebel armies roam around and expand their influence.
"This massive undertaking is doomed to fail sooner or later..."
Ye Li was certain once again that, given the current situation, even if the late emperor were to climb out of his coffin, he wouldn't be able to quell the chaos in the world, let alone build a mausoleum for him.
"Sir, do you share the same thought, believing that our major undertaking should come to an end?"
Ye Li was just talking to himself, but Liu Yong next to him had his eyes shining, feeling like he had found an opportunity.
Ye Li understood the meaning behind his words, and it coincided with his own thoughts.
Ye Li knew very well that he could easily handle the border issues because the barbarians in the north were not very organized. As long as he dealt with leaders like Ji Wang, the others would scatter.
The situation is different inside Da Gan. There are corrupt officials, landlord families, and even the emperor, who is high and mighty in the capital.
He has far too many people to deal with. He can't possibly go back to the way things are now, carrying a sword and killing them one by one.
He had the strength to start an uprising, and Liu Yong had the manpower; they could just raise an army.
However, he still had one problem.
"Yes, I do think it's time for things to change in Da Gan, but aren't you a loyal subject of Da Gan?"
"What loyal minister? I've had enough of this Yulong Pass."
What kind of team am I leading? We are the team guarding the border. Not only do they not give us enough food, but they also mix sand into it.
The same applies to weapons; if we didn't maintain them regularly, relying on the imperial court for supplies would be a pipe dream.
Liu Yong also started talking, saying that their troops in the border region hadn't been doing very well in recent years.
They wouldn't say they were irreconcilable enemies, but they had absolutely no loyalty to Da Gan.
Things are going well now. He's met such a big shot as Ye Li, and it seems like he's seen a glimmer of hope.
He didn't want to stay in this place where there was no possibility of promotion; he was too eager to advance.
"So, you're willing to take the city's troops and come with me to try your luck in this chaotic world?"
"My lord, I would go through fire and water without hesitation!"
I'm feeling pretty good today, so I should be able to post five updates.
