"Your Majesty, Father of Shang's edict to punish the rebels has been completed and is currently being issued. I believe that within a few days, each of the eight hundred lords under heaven will have a copy."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded.

As his personal maid, Wushuang did a fairly good job in these matters.

You can find out the extent of those old guys' preparations immediately.

Besides, those old guys didn't disappoint him after all.

Although somewhat old-fashioned, their efficiency in getting things done is still acceptable.

Before we knew it, it was already the second day.

Even before the morning court session was scheduled, many ministers were already ready in the main hall.

When Ye Xuan appeared in the main hall, the many ministers immediately became excited.

After a day and night of preparation, they were already quite well-prepared.

"Your Majesty, the provisions needed for the army are ready, and all kinds of military equipment and supplies have also been arranged."

"We can set off together when the main army departs."

The first one to step forward and report was none other than Wang Bi Gan.

Ye Xuan assigned him the task of supplying provisions.

He had prepared the provisions needed for the army in just one night, which shows that Uncle Bi Gan was indeed extremely reliable.

"Your Majesty, the edict to quell the rebellion was completed yesterday. It clearly states that all the feudal lords of the realm must supply provisions. It has already been issued and should reach the feudal lords in a few days."

The one who spoke these words was none other than Shang Rong, the Father of Shang Rong.

"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled. This time, only a select few elite soldiers have been chosen, totaling two hundred thousand."

"The rest of the troops will remain stationed in Chaoge to guard against any unforeseen circumstances."

"Follow-up troops are being drawn from the army, and it is estimated that it will take some time."

"-----------"

All the details were relayed to Ye Xuan, and everything was arranged quite well. Ye Xuan was clearly very satisfied with their report.

Subsequently, Ye Xuan personally selected more than a dozen generals to accompany him on the expedition. Some of these generals were stationed in Chaoge, while others were drawn from the border regions near Chaoge.

These dozen or so generals were the main force of this Northern Expedition.

Among them were Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying, a Fang Xiang Fang Bi Xiang, etc.

Zhang Kui himself was extremely skilled in martial arts, and had long since attained enlightenment through martial arts.

Besides his extremely powerful martial arts skills, Zhang Kui also practiced unorthodox techniques, such as the Earth Escape Technique).

He was the archenemy of the legendary Tu Xingsun.

The magical weapon in his hand was a Cold Radiance Saw, which was essentially a decapitation blade. Over the years, it had killed countless people and possessed immense power.

His mount was a One-Horned Black Smoke Beast, which was quite a formidable divine beast.

Zhang Kui had his own set of principles for leading troops and fighting battles, and he once killed many powerful figures such as Chong Heihu and Tu Xingsun.

He was a very famous figure in the Primordial World.

Later, in the great battle against Xiqi, he became a formidable force in Xiqi.

The fact that Zhang Kui was posthumously named the Seven Killings Star Lord on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods is enough to explain why Ye Xuan chose him.

Gao Lanying is Zhang Kui's wife, and she is also a powerful martial artist.

He also possesses the magical Sun Divine Needles and the Sun and Moon Golden Blades.

He once blinded Deng Chanyu the Sun Divine Needles, and finally beheaded her with the Sun and Moon Golden Blades.

After his death, he was posthumously honored as the Peach Blossom Star Lord.

The Fang Bi brothers, Fang Xiang, were also incredibly strong, capable of uprooting mountains.

These two were originally the palace generals of the Yin Shang dynasty. Those who served them were enshrined as the God of Manifesting the Dao and the God of Opening the Way.

Besides these four, there were many other generals.

"Proceed to the command platform immediately, muster the troops, and depart at once!"

The ministers readily agreed.

At the service of Wushuang and Daji, Ye Xuan changed into a military uniform.

He donned that extremely large and imposing black cloak.

It was indeed that Hongmeng Mystic Daoist Robe.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, Wushuang will now reveal her true form!"

Wushuang had a very tough time during this period, not only becoming Ye Xuan 'Ye Xuan personal maid but also his mount.

Ye Xuan himself had a mount, a Jade Qilin unicorn.

But how could that Jade Qilin possibly compare to Wushuang?

Just as Wushuang was about to reveal her true form, Daji stopped her.

"Sister, there's no need for that. The two of us can ride together with His Majesty."

Then a pure white little fox ran out of her arms.

The pure white little fox landed on the ground and took two light steps. A flash of white light appeared, and then an extremely large white fox materialized.

This white fox was pure white, with an extremely large and slender body. Its white fur swayed in the wind, making it incredibly beautiful.

It also had three huge tails behind it, swaying in the wind.

This enormous fox demon could easily seat not only three people, but even thirty.

Was it a three-tailed fox demon?

Ye Xuan chuckled softly.

It landed lightly on the three-tailed fox spirit.

The extremely long fur on the three-tailed fox quickly transformed into a natural recliner.

Ye Xuan leaned back in the recliner and felt truly comfortable.

The warm and gentle sensation instantly made Ye Xuan feel drowsy and comfortable.

"Your Majesty, this is my mount, a three-tailed fox spirit. Its strength isn't particularly outstanding, but it excels in speed, making it quite suitable as a mount. It's even stronger than most auspicious beasts and divine creatures."

The two women boarded the fox demon one after the other.

Surrounded by the crowd, the enormous fox demon left the palace and appeared on the streets of Chaoge.

The people of Chaoge City naturally knew that His Majesty the Emperor was about to personally lead an expedition.

So they all appeared on the street, shouting loudly.

A tremendous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Your Majesty's divine might is boundless; we wish Your Majesty a triumphant return!"

"Your Majesty's divine might is boundless; we wish Your Majesty a triumphant return!"

"Your Majesty's divine might is boundless; we wish Your Majesty a triumphant return!"

The cheers rose in waves, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth.

Ye Xuan at this time was no longer the extremely incompetent Di Xin of the past.

With a series of extremely wise policies being promulgated, his popularity among the people is now terrifyingly high.

Everyone regarded Ye Xuan as a god-like being.

Ye Xuan has clearly become their faith.

Now that His Human Emperor is about to personally lead the expedition, they are naturally cheering wildly, hoping that His Human Emperor will suppress the rebels and return in triumph.

Looking at these cheering people.

Ye Xuan's eyes welled up with tears.

In the end, all the things I did during my time travel didn't go to waste.

Now that he has won the love and respect of the people, it can be said that his time travel has not been in vain.

These people are all lovely.

They are all people I need to protect.

Ye Xuan was naturally quite happy to have gained their support.

Amidst the tremendous cheers, Ye Xuan led numerous generals and court officials to the outskirts of the city.

Outside the city, all that could be seen was a dark, dense mass.

Two hundred thousand soldiers had already assembled and were waiting for a long time.

These soldiers were all elite veterans selected from among thousands of candidates.

Ye Xuan glanced over and saw a murderous aura that filled the sky and a fierce fighting spirit.

Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
