All the Way North

He wanted more than just to defeat his opponent.

He wanted to defeat the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords in the shortest time and in the most shocking way.

Otherwise, the future is truly worrying.

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhang Kui felt slightly ashamed.

"This humble general knows his mistake!"

Looking at Zhang Kui's pretentious expression, Ye Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy was actually a hypocrite too.

That guilty look is really well-acted.

Seeing Ye Xuan roll his eyes, Zhang Kui chuckled and looked around, finding no one else nearby. He then whispered something to Bai Hu.

"Your Majesty, if we return victorious this time, I humbly request Your Majesty to grant me permission to take another concubine."

She chuckled as she spoke, a slight blush creeping onto her face, as if she were a little shy.

Seeing the other person's expression, Ye Xuan immediately showed a look of astonishment.

Who would have thought that Zhang Kui, who would later become equally renowned, was actually a shameless and lecherous man?

With such a beautiful wife as Gao Lanying, why would he still want a concubine?

Ye Xuan knew that Zhang Kui was henpecked; in front of his wife Gao Lanying, this guy could almost say he dared not speak out against her.

He was often bullied by Gao Lanying.

Even so, this guy still wants to take another wife?

Isn't this guy afraid Gao Lanying will skin him alive?

"General Gao is extremely handsome, both in figure and appearance. General Zhang, are you not satisfied with General Gao?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's puzzled question, Zhang Kui couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you saying, Your Majesty?"

Compared to His Majesty, they are utterly Great Witch.

"His Majesty even takes two empresses with him when he personally leads his troops on campaign. Compared to His Majesty, this humble general is truly ashamed of his own inadequacy."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's face darkened, and he immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

This time, the emperor personally led an expedition against the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords in the north. Two women were clinging to him desperately, but what did that have to do with him?

Unexpectedly, he was seen by so many soldiers, who actually mistook him for a lecherous man?

Ye Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Only a ghost would know that he didn't actually lay a hand on either of those women.

Enraged, Ye Xuan kicked Zhang Kui.

"Get lost!"

An invisible, powerful force emanated from his foot and struck the One-Horned Black Smoke Beast's rear end.

One-Horned Smokeless Beast was kicked hard in the rear.

He immediately fell to the ground, even rolling twice.

Zhang Kui also let out a miserable scream and fell off the One-Horned Black Smoke Beast.

Seeing this scene, Wushuang and Daji behind them couldn't help but chuckle.

This guy actually mentioned those two women in front of His Human Emperor.

Shouldn't they be beaten?

However, after the two women finished laughing, their eyes turned somewhat resentful.

So far, His Human Emperor the Emperor has not touched either of them.

This made the two of them wonder if His Majesty the Human Emperor didn't even think much of them.

Daji and Wushuang exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

It is said that the distance between the North Sea Chaoge is extremely far.

Even the straight-line distance is 80 million li.

Such a long distance, with an army of 200,000, even traveling at full speed, would take at least several months.

If they continue on this journey, by the time they reach North Sea, it will be too late.

Given the tight schedule, we had no choice but to rush on our way.

Fortunately, there were many Qi cultivators in the team.

These Qi cultivators, though not particularly strong themselves, were still capable of crafting talismans that could accelerate movement.

In addition, the team also included Zhang Kui Gao Lanying, a married couple.

Fang Bi and Fang Xiang were two brothers.

There were also more than a dozen other generals who possessed magical powers.

And masters like Su Daji and Wushuang.

With the blessing of various cultivation techniques, talismans, and treasures, the army's marching speed was extremely fast.

The massive army of 200,000 men marched towards the North Sea at an extremely fast pace.

The entire Northern Expeditionary Force is advancing northward in an orderly manner.

At the very front is Huang Feihu, the Martial King Cheng Who Protects the Nation.

He led 70,000 ordinary elite cavalry, plus 10,000 extremely terrifying War Elephant Cavalry.

A total of 80,000 cavalrymen, rushing day and night, came to the aid of the North Sea Wen Zhong of Grand Tutor Wen.

Behind them was an army of 200,000 men led by Ye Xuan and Zhang Kui, also advancing at an extremely fast pace.

Although far inferior to cavalry, their marching speed was clearly quite fast.

Behind the main army were the supply convoys.

Although the march was somewhat slow, each army carried some food.

It can sustain us for a while, waiting for a large amount of food and supplies to arrive.

In Chaoge, the overall situation was managed by Father of Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Yang Ren, and others.

Preparations for the battle continue intensively.

At this moment, these veteran officials gathered together and couldn't help but start complaining.

Among them Father of Shang Rong, the father, complained slightly.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for several years now, how can you still be so reckless?"

"He's always threatening to personally lead troops into battle. When Su Hu of Jizhou rebelled, he personally led the campaign. When the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords rebelled, he again insisted on personally leading the campaign. It's really quite reckless."

What should we do if something unexpected happens?

After all, His Majesty was Shang Rong watched grow up.

He was also personally taught by Shang Rong. When His Majesty ascended the throne, he showed signs of being somewhat incompetent and reckless.

He risked his life to remonstrate dozens of times, helping Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen to jointly support the Human Emperor.

Now that His Human Emperor the Emperor has finally become wise and powerful, this naturally makes him extremely gratified.

However, His Human Emperor has also become increasingly domineering.

They can't stand hearing others' opinions.

His temper had also become somewhat reckless, and he would often insist on personally leading troops into battle, which was giving him a real headache.

Your Majesty, after all, holds a high position and is the head of the Human Clan.

How could one possibly lead an army in person so casually, or put oneself in danger by being the first to charge into battle?

How could he not be worried?

His Human Emperor the Emperor is full of passion but lacks composure.

Although he is incredibly wise, his temper still needs some work to be tamed.

On the other side, Bi Gan curled his lip in disapproval.

What's the point of saying all this now?

"His Human Emperor of today is not the same as His Human Emperor of the past; naturally, he has his own ideas."

"We, as subjects, only need to obey orders and carry them out."

Why worry about so much?

"Although His Majesty is somewhat reckless now, he is far from being as impulsive as before. We must trust His Majesty."

"--------"

These old men, feeling frustrated, issued this seemingly legitimate policy.

After all, His Human Emperor is no longer in Chaoge.

They must take Human Emperor the overall situation on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.

So that His Human Emperor proceed with the Northern Expedition with peace of mind.
