Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 229 - The High Priestess Is Very Rich

When Yin Xu woke up, he was immediately told about the terrifying news. He almost packed his luggage and hid in the Danxia Mountain.

“What's the benefit of letting me fight the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince?” he asked the steward of the inner court, who had just finished his decree.

It was a chubby middle-aged eunuch. His eyes looked like Maitreya Buddha's when he smiled, and he was very popular. The emperor had chosen him because he liked him.

However, at this moment, the fat eunuch was on the verge of breaking into laughter. “Commander Huo asked …” It is my duty to serve the nation according to the emperor's decree. How can I obtain any benefits? “

“Who would do something that has no benefits?”

“Then… “You want to defy the decree?” The fat eunuch looked at Teng Yu, and thought to himself: “Your Highness, look, you're already like this, why don't you do anything about it?”

Yin Xu spread out his hands, indicating that he was on the beam, and could not help himself, “Go then, but you have to do as I say on the way, help me pass these words onto them.”

This was the fat eunuch's first time seeing someone who dared to bargain with the emperor. No, this wasn't right, the Third Prince seemed to even dare to disobey the imperial edict.

“This servant will definitely carry out your words.” With that, the fat eunuch took his leave. The two lords in the mansion were not people he could afford to offend.

His Majesty even praised him when he heard that the Third Prince had made him suffer a fate worse than death. Sigh, this day's food was not tasty.

Yin Xu read the imperial edict twice, then casually threw it to the side, “I just realized that the emperor hates me too.”

Teng Yu ordered the people to put away the imperial edict, sat by his side and hugged the people into his embrace, “Hate is useless, this is a very simple principle.”

“You know your own limits. What do you think about this matter?” As the one who was implicated, Yin Xu expressed that Teng Yu would bear all responsibility for this matter.

“Don't worry, I will make Han Qing bring his men to go with you. He has been familiar with the art of military affairs since a young age, although he does not have any experience in leading soldiers to war, he is definitely not weaker than you.”

“What do you mean?” Yin Xu raged, he pinched his cheek and pulled him out, “Third His Highness The Prince, is this young master really a scum in your eyes?”

“I don't dare, I don't dare. You are a treasure in my heart!” Teng Yu immediately kissed her and said sincerely: “This ruler has a director and an inch is a bit short. He is also like that, we just have to take advantage of him.” Don't deny it.

Anyway, Teng Yu had already decided that Yin Xu was definitely not qualified to be a general.

A proper general should at least be like the Huo Family's young master, with a body of lofty bones, a loyal heart, and the awareness of sacrificing his life for justice.

Do these Yin Xu s exist? Certainly not.

Yin Xu stared at him without speaking, he prodded his chest and said: “This young master just came back and is leaving, there are too many generals in the imperial court, how did the emperor fall for me?”

“Isn't it because you can?” Teng Yu flattered his, but he immediately looked at Yin Xu and explained seriously, “Firstly, you are from the Huo Family, and no one is unconvinced when you bring your troops out. Secondly, if something were to happen to you in the southwest, the Huo Family will definitely not let off the Duke of Qin and the second brother. “Cough.”

Teng Yu rubbed his nose, but did not tell him the third point.

But the third point was also the best guess. If Yin Xu died in battle, Teng Yu would definitely be extremely hurt, and a man who had lost his loved one would probably not be able to recover from his defeat. Furthermore, if Yin Xu died, Teng Yu would also lose all possibility of cooperating with Huo Family.

When Yin Xu thought about it again, he realized that the people in the palace all wished for him to die.

But thinking back to when he died, Yin Xu was not affected by this at all.

All his bad moods stemmed from the fact that he had just returned home and was going on a long journey, especially in this cold weather.

He could believe that such an expedition team would absolutely not provide him with a comfortable carriage. It seemed that he would have to prepare something at his own expense before setting off.

The preparation time that the emperor had given was only one day. The next day, when the sun rose, Teng Yu dragged Yin Xu out of bed and personally helped him put on his clothes and wash up. Then, he prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

Yin Xu wore a set of silver flexible armor, and his hair was combed into a ponytail.

Last night, the two of them had fought until dawn before falling asleep. It was not because he was reluctant to part with them, but because Yin Xu had said that he wanted to take advantage of the time before they parted that the two of them had cultivated together to increase their abilities.

“I'm afraid that we'll have to eat and sleep badly along the way. I got Han Qing to bring a lot of pastries, so we can barely sustain ourselves for a few days.”

Yin Xu's eyelids twitched, “Don't think that I'm a young master who cannot handle hardships.” He was also someone who had lived in a cave before, so how could he get angry over such a small matter?

After eating his fill, Yin Xu entered the palace to listen to the Emperor's preaching.

This time, the only ones following him were the ten thousand soldiers of Capital Camp, so the emperor was straightforward. Since Yin Xu said that he didn't want anyone to interfere with his decision, then the emperor would change a few of the generals into soldiers.

After hearing the emperor's lengthy speech, Yin Xu only asked one question. If he couldn't capture the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince alive, could he kill them on the spot?

The emperor was silent for a long time before nodding his head. This was the answer Yin Xu wanted.

At the city gate, many commoners ran over to see what was going on. A fourteen year old young general with a handsome appearance was riding on a tall horse. His heroic appearance really charmed many women to death.

Yin Xu and Teng Yu looked at each other, then shouted, “Let's go.” His ten thousand soldiers and several hundred guards set off.

Just when the soldiers were confused, a carriage broke into the road and the soldiers watched as the young general directly jumped off his horse and quickly entered the carriage.

A cold wind blew past, and they seemed to have heard something else: “I'm freezing to death …”

Before everyone could comment, the young general's order came from inside the carriage, “Move faster, try to reach the southwest within a month.”

The soldiers thought: They would like to, but what do you mean by taking a carriage?

However, their worries were unnecessary. That carriage had three horses. Each of them were treasured horses that travelled thousands of miles in a day. The carriage did not fall behind even when it ran along the main road.

In just a single day, the spirits of the Capital Camp soldiers dropped. Previously, when they heard that this Seventh Young Master Huo who understood formations was leading them, they were actually quite looking forward to it.

Luckily, although Yin Xu had some bad habits, he kept his airs high, but he was definitely not stingy when he was generous. Along the way, he ate well and stayed well, but if he were to find lodging in the city, this master would reserve a whole flower street for the soldiers to vent his anger.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have enough funds. He will pay for it himself.

There were naturally civil officials in the military recording the itinerary. The reports were sent to the capital one by one. After reading them, the emperor only said two words, “Preposterous!”

Of course, it was absurd. There was no reason for him to pull them back, so this team continued to head southwest with a bad reputation. miraculously, on the twenty-eighth day, they arrived at a small city that was close to the Kun City.

Would Yin Xu know how to fight? He would definitely have answered. Back then, he led the three great devil sects to wage wars in the north, destroying who knows how many sects.

But in Han Qing's opinion, this lord had probably not even read the most basic military manual before.

Yin Xu scoffed: Books are dead people, what's the use of a book? Generals who only know how to talk on paper are always harming themselves.

Han Qing was speechless, he only gave his a few strategies he had formulated beforehand. These were the results obtained from two days and two nights of being an adviser on Third Prince Mansion.

Yin Xu gave a rough look before throwing it to the side, “Don't take the Duke of Qin for a fool. Since he can silently turn his Kun City into his territory, then he must be well-prepared in the city.

“Then, what do you mean …?”

Yin Xu yawned and waved his hand, “It's a long journey and everyone is tired. First, don't give everyone so much pressure, rest well for the day, eat, drink and recuperate properly.”

“But this subordinate did not think that the Duke of Qin would give us time to rest. You said it yourself, we're only this number. The other side can definitely take the initiative to attack.”

“Isn't there still no news that they're coming to besiege us?” Seeing that he didn't agree, Yin Xu added, “From the Kun City to here, it would take at least an entire day.”

“Then what is your plan?” It was Han Qing's first time encountering a general like Yin Xu, and he was already on the enemy's territory, neither fast nor slow.

Yin Xu sat up from the bed, wrapped in a blanket and asked: “Do you think ten thousand of us will be their match?”

“Of course not, that's why Your Highness said to contact the troops of the Second Prince as soon as possible. Among those fifty thousand people, there must be some loyal people.”

“Then do you think we have time to slowly identify those who have truly pledged their allegiance and those who have falsely submitted?”

“This… This subordinate has investigated beforehand, and there are at least three deputy Generals who would not sincerely join the Second Prince as partners, and through them, they would be able to rebel against a portion of their soldiers. “

“Which three?” Give me the list. ” Yin Xu reached out his hand from under the bed, “You don't need to worry about the other matters for now.”

“Please forgive this subordinate for not being able to comply.” Han Qing had followed orders to protect Yin Xu and also followed orders to assist him in the war. Since he was here, how could he not do anything?

Yin Xu was angered to death by his stubborn brain, “You sure are loyal to Teng Yu!”

“I'll be direct with it, the best way is to capture the thief and the king first. Our goal is only the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince, what does it matter if the others live or die?”

Han Qing secretly sighed, “Before we came, Your Highness specifically warned me not to let you personally get into danger!” He thought, Master must have guessed that the Seventh Young Master would do this.

“I knew it.” Yin Xu muttered, he snapped his fingers and two black figures suddenly appeared in his tent.

Han Qing's eyes changed, he was just about to attack when he fell to the ground.

“Take him down there and watch him eat. Don't let him communicate with the outside world, especially the group of Dark Guard s.”

The two black figures walked forward, revealing two young faces. They were precisely the left Right Protectorate from the Evil Sect.

Han Qing's eyes turned, he did not know when these two had snuck in, they were too derelict in their duties!

However, the Seventh Young Master had clearly prepared this beforehand, otherwise he would not have drugged this tent beforehand.

Zuo Shaotang took the opportunity to rub Han Qing's face, and teased: “If it weren't for this protector's concern, guard Han would definitely be the best partner.”

Xiao Feng pulled Zuo Shaotang away, carried Han Qing who was on the ground, and walked out of the tent.

Zuo Shaotang laughed happily: “So this is what it means to be jealous, you really care about me.”

Yin Xu looked at him with disdain, “I really don't know which eye of Xiao Feng would fall for you!”

Zuo Shaotang turned his head and winked at him, gritting his teeth while spitting out four words, “Same here!”
