"Daikon State's Holy Court, Qianhu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wu Xu, greets the Thirteenth Army Commander!" Wu Xu said solemnly.
"Huh?" Yi Lanque and the other two were stunned.
Yi Lanque's father and old ancestor were stunned by Wu Xu's title. Yi Lanque was the first to react.
"Daikon State's Holy Court? Qianhu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? "Yi Lanque asked.
Zhuangzi had a few disciples, and each disciple had their own lineage. Yi Clan was one of them, but Wu Xu was from another lineage. In the past, the disciples of Zhuangzi did not get along well, so they were hostile towards each other.
Although Wu Xu had only been in Zhuangzi for a short period of time, he had already made a name for himself, and was even at odds with Yi Clan. He was actually a subject of Daikon State? Embroidered Uniform Guard? Qianhu?
Although Yi Lanque knew that Zhong Shan was planning something big, she was still shocked by the scene before her. Zhong Shan had already set his sights on Zhuangzi's Holy Court?
"I am indeed a Daikon State's Embroidered Uniform Guard. The Holy King has already received the letter from the Thirteenth Army Commander. Three hundred years ago, I was sent here to target Yi Clan because of the situation. I hope the Thirteenth Army Commander will not blame me, "Wu Xu immediately said.
"Commander Wu, you did nothing wrong. Since you are a Daikon State's Embroidered Uniform Guard, I will not blame you. However, what is the Thirteenth Army Commander you mentioned?" Yi Lanque immediately asked.
"Thank you for your understanding. The Thirteenth Army Commander was just conferred by the Holy King yesterday. It is also the Holy King's great favor to you. I am in charge of delivering the letter. Once I receive a clear reply from you, I will report to the Holy King that the Daikon State's fate will descend upon you!" Wu Xu said.
"Yi Lanque thanks the heavens!" Yi Lanque solemnly bowed to the south.
Seeing that Yi Lanque immediately entered the zone, Wu Xu sighed and was also envious. Army Commander? What was that? In Daikon State, Army Commanders did not have a specific rank or title. However, look at the twelve Army Commanders before them. If the officials of the Daikon State knew that Yi Lanque had received such a reward, there would be countless people who would be jealous.
"I hope that Lord Yi will take care of me in the future!" Wu Xu immediately said.
"Lord Wu, you're too polite. We're both working for the Daikon State, so we'll be colleagues from now on!" Yi Lanque said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll report this to the Holy King first. I'll be back in the future!" Wu Xu said.
"Alright!"
After Wu Xu left, the hall fell into a period of silence, and the other two people recovered from their shock.
"Que 'er, what did Wu Xu say? Are we already subjects of the Daikon State? "The Old Ancestor frowned.
Yi Lanque took a deep breath and rejoiced, "Father, Ancestor, as you can see, the people of Daikon State have already infiltrated Zhuangzi Dojo. If we hadn't chosen to join the Daikon State, others would have been able to handle Zhong Shan's matter properly!"
"That's different. How can Wu Xu be compared to Que 'er?" Yi Lanque's father immediately shook his head.
Yi Lanque shook her head and said, "Father, don't underestimate Wu Xu!"
"Oh?"
"He's been going against our Yi Clan all these years. Why?" Yi Lanque said in a low voice.
"Zhong Shan wants to go against the Yi Clan?" The Old Ancestor frowned.
"No, it's not that Zhong Shan wants to deal with my Yi family. It's just that Wu Xu wants to gain a more stable footing in Zhuangzi Training Hall. He's using my Yi family as a stepping stone to gain the respect of his superiors. He's just trying to stabilize his footing. It looks like he's already succeeded." Yi Lanque took a deep breath and said.
"Wu Xu?" The two people frowned.
"More importantly, even if Wu Xu isn't smart enough, he still has the support of the Daikon State's advisors to ensure that he doesn't make a mistake. Didn't you hear? He said that Zhong Shan rewarded him with the 13th Legion yesterday. Yesterday, yesterday! "Yi Lanque took a deep breath and said.
"How is that possible? Zhong Shan can't be in Zhuangzi Dojo, and Wu Xu definitely didn't go out either. How did he send the message? "Yi Lanque's father said.
"We'll find out in the future. Father, Old Ancestor, remember, from now on, we're members of the Daikon State's Holy Court. Our family's fate is tied to the Daikon State's Holy Court!" Yi Lanque's brows relaxed and said.
"Yes, but Zhong Shan didn't give you any official or noble titles when we went undercover, right?" Yi Lanque's father frowned and said.
"Official? Noble? Father, have you forgotten the rules of the Daikon State's Holy Court? Everything depends on merit. Official and noble titles, as long as you've made enough contributions to the Daikon State, you'll get them. I just didn't expect Zhong Shan to be so generous. The 13th Legion's Holy Court! " Commander! "Yi Lanque exclaimed.
"What's wrong with being a Legion's Holy Court? It's just a title! "Yi Lanque's father shook his head and said.
"A title? Oh, Father, you might not know, but in the Daikon State's Holy Court, countless people are willing to give up all their noble titles in exchange for the title of Legion's Holy Court. Since the establishment of the Daikon State, there have only been 13 Legion's Holy Court, including me. Which of the previous 12 isn't second only to one person? "Yi Lanque said gratefully.
"Only a few, right?" The Old Ancestor frowned.
"No, the few we see now are only the few in the world of the living. The rest are in the netherworld. With the title of Legion's Holy Court, the rise of our Yi family is inevitable! "Yi Lanque said firmly.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Yi Lanque's body trembled. A yellow light shone.
"Que 'er, what's wrong?" Yi Lanque's father immediately called out.
"Don't move, this is the Daikon State's fate. Que 'er is bearing the fate of the Daikon State!" The Old Ancestor immediately stopped Yi Lanque's father.
Daikon State's Holy Court, High Heaven. In a large hall.
"Long Guang pays his respects to the Chung Holy King!"
"He Fei pays his respects to the Chung Holy King!"
"Li Bian pays his respects to the Chung Holy King!"
Three well-dressed men bowed respectfully to Zhong Shan.
"Please rise." Zhong Shan immediately went forward to help them up.
"We are willing to join the Daikon State. What does the Chung Holy King think?" Long Guang was the first to speak.
"Zhong Shan is honored to welcome the three of you to join the Daikon State. Zhong Shan had long heard of the three of you, but he had never had the chance to meet you. I have always regretted it. Now that I have met the three of you, Zhong Shan knows that the Daikon State will definitely have a new minister. "Zhong Shan immediately said.
"We pay our respects to the Holy King!" The three of them immediately said.
In the hall, Zhong Shan was subduing the three Territory Lords who had taken the initiative to surrender. As an emperor, he had to be courteous to his subordinates. Moreover, the three of them had come at the right time.
The Daikon State was going to invade the North Continent, and there was bound to be endless slaughter. Under such atrocities, the sudden surrender of the Territory Lords was undoubtedly a signal to the world that the Daikon State was a benevolent and righteous army.
Violence, benevolence, and righteousness. Although they were just two empty words, they were extremely important in war. It was far from enough to rely solely on military merits and rewards to fight a war. Benevolence and righteousness were also needed. Because of benevolence and righteousness, one's own army's fighting power would multiply, and the enemy's will to fight would weaken.
The three Zu Xian had received the attention they wanted, and Zhong Shan had also received everything he wanted.
The emperor and his ministers chatted happily.
After subduing the three Zu Xian, Zhong Shan began his morning court session as promised.
After the morning court session ended. The commander of the Daikon State's First Army stepped forward.
"Reporting to the Holy King!" Lin Xiao said.
"Your subject has heard that the Holy King was ambushed by four Zu Xian during your trip to the extreme north. They are the Holy King of the Red Top Weave, the Holy King of the Pingsha Weave, the Wuhe Holy King of the Wuhe Weave, and the Holy King of the Purple Ping Weave. The Four Sacred Halls have sent troops to harass our borders many times, and they have even bewitched the other dynasties to target us. These rascals have no choice but to be exterminated. They have even shamelessly colluded with each other to plot against the Holy King. They want to destroy the foundation of our dynasty and destroy our destiny. The Daikon State has never been afraid of the Battle Sacred Halls. We specially request the Holy King's permission to conquer the four dynasties!" Lin Xiao said.
Conquer the four dynasties?
The Daikon State had only sent troops out in private. This was the first time they had sent troops out in public. Now that Lin Xiao had brought it up, it meant that the Holy King had made a decision. The Daikon State's expedition had truly begun. The officials suddenly fell silent.
"Permission granted!" Zhong Shan replied with incomparable dignity.
The word 'permission' officially started the war.
"Your subject, Lin Xiao, requests to battle!"
"Your subject, Zhao Suxiang, requests to battle!"
"Your subject, Shui Wuhen, requests to battle!"
"Your subject, Yi Yan, requests to battle!"
"Your subject, Su Li, requests to battle!"
… … …
… … …
… … … …
As if rehearsed, the officials of the Daikon State all jumped out to request to battle. The pro-war faction had already received the news, so naturally, they did not hesitate at all. As for the pro-peace faction, they did not receive the news. Seeing so many officials suddenly jump out, they did not dare to risk universal condemnation and could only shrink their necks and stand there motionlessly.
In the Long Life Palace, sonorous and powerful voices rang out.
"Shui Jing!" Zhong Shan called out.
"Your subject is here!"
"Write a crusade against the four dynasties!" Zhong Shan called out.
"Your subject obeys!"
"Lin Xiao!" Zhong Shan called out.
"Your subject obeys!"
"You will be the commander of the eastern army. Lead the eastern army of three hundred million and pass through the two eastern weaves to conquer the Red Summit Holy Dynasty!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Your subject obeys!"
"Shui Wuhen, you will be the commander of the southern army. Lead the southern army of three hundred million and pass through the two southern weaves to conquer the Flat Sand Holy Dynasty!"
"Zhao Suxiang, you will be the commander of the western army. Lead the western army of three hundred million and pass through the two western weaves to conquer the Wuhe Holy Dynasty!"
"Su Li, you will be the commander of the northern army. Lead the northern army of three hundred million and pass through the two northern weaves to conquer the Purple Duckweed Holy Dynasty!"
Su Li was the former Taichu Holy Dynasty's Mr. Fox, and the younger brother of Princess Nine-tailed. In recent years, he had relied on his outstanding abilities to rise rapidly in the Daikon State.
"Your subject obeys!" all the legion commanders said.
At this moment, the officials who had just learned about the crusade quivered. The sensitive officials immediately understood the Holy King's intentions. The crusade against the four dynasties was a ruse. His true goal was to conquer the eight weaves.
The Holy King was attacking the weaves under the guise of attacking the weaves. The Holy King was going to attack the eight weaves at the same time? No, there were still the four nominal enemies. Attacking the twelve weaves at the same time?
One against twelve? This was crazy! Some of the lower-ranking officials felt their minds go haywire. Was the Holy King going to be ruthless this time?
"Yi Yan!"
"Your subject obeys!"
"You will be the commander of the four armies. Deploy the internal troops to support the four armies at any time," Zhong Shan ordered again.
"Your subject obeys!"
While some of the officials were still confused, Zhong Shan's orders were spat out one by one like a tide.
The Daikon State's army is going to attack the North Continent!
