Outside Chu Feng County, a group of cavalries was galloping.
Dozens of men and horses were like dragons with bright flags. They were neat and orderly. From afar, they looked like a black python sweeping over.
When the cavalries got closer, they found that these cavalries were all wearing armor and had long swords at their waists. Their faces were fierce and threatening. At a glance, one could tell that they were first-class elite dental soldiers!
"General! We have arrived at Chu Feng County! "
A rider galloped over from afar and pulled the reins in front of the formation. The rider stopped immediately and bowed.
This person's aura was stronger than these dental soldiers. He was wearing Qilin armor and was obviously a member of the Qilin Guards.
"I am not a general anymore …"
Only the military governor of Pingshan County, Qi Lin, could command the Qilin Guards.
At this moment, he looked at the bustling Chu Feng County from afar and smiled bitterly, "Meng Wu Zhen thinks highly of me and appointed me as the Northern General. You can call me general from now on!"
"Yes! General! "
The Fang soldiers agreed loudly. But in fact, they were already bound together with Qi Lin for good or for ill. Changing their titles was really nothing, but it was a gesture.
Although Qi Lin had been a military governor for a long time, he was now a subject and understood this point.
"… Recently, there are few missions in the main divine hall. It is time for me to be a hero. I am a surrendered general and have the scruples of a Samsara traveler. I can't stay in the general position for long. I should make meritorious deeds and then retire generously to help the descendants. This is the way to save myself …"
This plan was made by his former mastermind. Even Qi Lin had to admit that it was indeed very reasonable.
"Why is Chu Feng County so lively?"
He thought about this in his heart and whipped his horse to a high slope. He could not help but ask when he saw the scene of lanterns and colored banners in the county.
"Reporting to general, I was just about to report!"
The Qilin Guard said loudly, "Today, there is good news from the military governor's office. Wu Zhen is pregnant. The curfew is lifted, the prison is pardoned, taxes are reduced, and wine and meat are given … The whole city is in joy. Every household is decorated with lanterns and colored banners to pray for Lin 'er!"
"Wu Zhen is pregnant?"
Qi Lin was stunned and his expression was very strange.
He naturally didn't have any other thoughts. After all, the terrifying Immortal Dao expert who saved his life was not someone a small military town could deal with.
However, at this moment, when Wu Zhi was about to unify the entire province, he suddenly received good news. He could not help but feel as though it was his destiny.
There were three ways to be unfilial. Not having descendants was the worst, and it was even more important in the process of fighting for hegemony.
Only with an official and legal successor could the people below find someone to pledge their loyalty to. Only then could their future glory, splendor, and wealth be passed on, and be guaranteed for generations to come!
Although Wu Zhi's identity was a little special, if he married Lin 'er and became the regent as the' Empress Dowager ', he would be able to shut up all the mouths in the world.
After all, history books were filled with stories of people listening to politics from behind the curtains. There were even many wise empresses who had managed to save the world from collapse. One more empress dowager was nothing.
"Hurry up and prepare the gifts!"
This was the first thing that came to his mind.
Originally, when he came to pay his respects to the commander-in-chief, he had naturally prepared a gift. However, when he heard this news, he naturally had to add another gift.
"Yes, Sir!"
The people below also went to prepare with some joy. Wu Zhi's career was thriving, which meant that they also had someone to pledge their loyalty to in the future. Or, at least, it was possible to continue their career and not be punished by the enemy. Naturally, they were very happy.
Only Qi Lin himself, besides being happy, smiled bitterly in his heart.
Wu Zhi wanted to have a baby. Presumably, the entire military town would not change for a year. The situation in Dingzhou was stable. He had to serve on the battlefield and make military contributions, so there was not much hope.
…
"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord! "
Inside the Wu Family Fortress.
Hearing that Wu Zhi was happy, not only Wu Tiehu, but also Ceng Yu, Chen Jingzong, Chen Shuncheng, and the others rushed over to congratulate him.
For these subordinates, they had to bear the greatest pressure from the rumors of Wu Zhi, but at this time, they had a gratified look on their faces.
Wu Ming looked on indifferently from the side, but he found it a little funny in his heart.
"Judging from the aura, the loyalty of these subordinates of Wu Zhi is still guaranteed. However, their minds are all wavering. Eighty percent of them have the idea of assisting the young master …"
It had to be said that Wu Zhi directly stood out, which was still a great challenge to the secular world.
The people of the 19 provinces in the world, even if they could accept an empress dowager who controlled the life and death of the emperor to order civil and military officials, they absolutely could not accept an empress who was diligent and loved the people!
Sometimes, even if it was just a pretense, it was enough for many people to continue pretending to be ostriches with a clear conscience. For example, Wu Zhi, who showed his sword and spear in the open, would forcibly pull them out of the sand, and they would never be able to retreat again.
However, Wu Ming was very clear that Wu Zhi had no intention of backing down at all!
Even if he wanted to help his son to the throne, he did not mind sitting on the dragon throne first!
Therefore, the thoughts of some chauvinistic officials could only be extravagant hopes.
"Report! The Great General of the North, Qi Lin, is here to report! "
At this time, a Phoenix Guard hurried in, kowtowed, and reported.
"He finally came!"
Wu Zhi stood up and said with great joy, "I will personally go to welcome him!"
"General Qi Lin greets Lord Provincial Governor!"
When Qi Lin saw Wu Zhi, he lowered his posture and directly bowed. "Lord Provincial Governor, congratulations in advance on the birth of Lin 'er!"
With a wave of his hand, the bodyguard beside him presented a list of gifts, all of which were rather valuable. There were also a few hurriedly added at the end, which were obviously to congratulate the pregnancy. This was very thoughtful.
"In terms of seniority, you are still my senior. Please rise!"
When Wu Zhi saw that Qi Lin was sincere in surrendering, he was also very happy. He hurriedly ordered, "Pass down my order. The Great General of the North has worked hard and made great contributions. In the future, when you see me, you just have to pay half a bow!"
This was returning a plum for a peach. When Qi Lin heard this, he was relieved. He knew that at least the provincial governor would not make a move on him and reduce his military power.
After standing up, he saw Wu Ming beside Wu Zhi. He was stunned at first, but then he ignored him and acted as usual.
Wu Zhi first ordered the servants to set up a banquet before inviting Qi Lin to the meeting hall. "This time, I invited the Great General of the North here because I have something important to entrust to you!"
"If you have an order, I will die ten thousand times!"
Qi Lin immediately expressed.
"Good!"
Wu Zhi spread out the map and suddenly covered the entire Dingzhou with his jade-like hand. "I intend to send troops in a month's time to break into the provincial city, capture the provincial magistrate, and unify the Dingzhou. Is the Great General of the North willing to help me?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was stunned, except for Wu Ming, who was prepared.
Using troops against Dingzhou was a natural thing, and no one was afraid of it.
However, they never imagined that Wu Zhi would be so fierce. Even though he was pregnant, he still wanted to stir up the flames of war.
"Are you going to appoint me as the commander-in-chief of the three armies?"
Although he knew that it was impossible, Qi Lin's heart still jumped disappointingly. No matter what, now there was a battle to fight, and it was very much to his liking. He immediately said loudly, "I am willing to serve the commander-in-chief!"
"Very good! This time, I will personally lead the troops! We must complete the mission in one fell swoop and destroy this imperial food! "
Wu Zhi said sternly, which made his subordinates even more frightened.
Qi Lin's pupils constricted. "You want to personally lead the troops? As expected, women are not inferior to men!"
Wu Ming looked on coldly from the side, but he knew Wu Zhi's difficulties. Within the entire Wu Town, there were generals who could lead troops, but Chen Jingzong, Wu Tiehu, and the others had not joined for long. They could manage things on their own, but they did not have the magnanimity to hand over the military power of the three armies.
Qi Lin's reputation as a town's Jiedu had spread far and wide, so he could manage to suppress them. However, Wu Zhi would not be at ease. This had nothing to do with trust, it was about power!
If the three armies were in his hands and Emperor Taia was in power, even if Qi Lin did not want to walk the path of rebellion, the family of generals below him would force him to rebel!
As for Wu Ming himself?
Although he could use his identity as Wu Zhi's husband to control the situation, who among the soldiers and officers knew him?
In particular, now that he had established a new foundation and unified Dingzhou, could Wu Zhi hand over such an achievement to others?
Thus, other than personally leading the troops, there was no other way.
"Marshal … the war is dangerous. Even if you don't go to the front lines, you have to work hard day and night. Take care of yourself … Next year, you can still unify Dingzhou!"
Ceng Yu, Chen Jingzong, and the other outsiders did not dare to mention such a thing. Only an old general of the Wu Family came out to say it.
"This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
Wu Zhi smiled without minding it. "You all think that our town will not mobilize troops within this year because of the pregnancy. The governor and the others must think so too. This is a great opportunity to take them by surprise!"
"As for the safety of the town, the Phoenix Guards are enough!"
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Wu Ming again, causing Wu Ming to roll his eyes speechlessly in his heart.
Faced with Wu Zhi's move of 'holding the unborn child to command the biological father', he could only follow the army and protect her life.
"It's a good thing that I don't have any other Dharma treasures. It's just that there's enough origin force in the main divine hall. I can just create an avatar … My main body can sit in the main divine hall and select Reincarnators to explore the western regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He listened for a while. What followed was the arrangement of troops and the allocation of rations. Immediately, his thoughts scattered. With the help of the main shrine, he began to wander in the Dazhou Western Regions.
At this time, Wu Zhi reached the end of his speech. "Out of the seven counties in Dingzhou, four are in my hands. The families of the other three counties also have many people who will help us when the army comes! The Xie family, the Lin family, the Hua family, the Miao family … We have to test their reaction first … "
At this time, no one noticed that something was wrong with Wu Ming, nor did they know that it was a clone who was here. "The Lin family is fine, but the Xie family's attitude is somewhat wavering … After all, they were one of the Dragon Concubine families …"
"Concubine?"
Wu Zhi smiled faintly. "In the time of a new dynasty, what are the Dragon Concubine families of the previous generation? Tell them directly, don't say that I didn't warn them! "
"This woman really has the intention to change the world!"
This was the first time Qi Lin heard Wu Zhi reveal his ambition, and he immediately became spirited.
