"Your Majesty, have you thought about it?"
"Prime Minister Zuo, do you believe me?"
"Old minister, I believe it."
"Well, no matter what decision I make next, I would like to ask the left minister for your full help."
"That's...okay!"
The next day, the Queen issued an imperial edict, which shocked the government and the public.
The Queen ordered that the army be withdrawn to the Dragon City in Qingzhou. She will lead the expedition in person in half a month and compete with the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms on the Dragon City.
The Queen did not abdicate or hand over Ye Tian, but chose the most violent method - to fight in person.
People throughout the Yuanling Empire began to be turbulent, and riots broke out in many places.
Nine days passed in a blink of an eye.
In Ye Mansion, Ji Tianqing was making clothes for the child who was about to be born. Suddenly, he felt something and looked towards the sky.
Uh-huh!
A ray of light fell from the sky and landed not far from Ji Tianqing, transforming into a white-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk.
"Master!"
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Ji Tianqing was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
The visitor was none other than Ge Hong, the leader of the Dan Alliance.
Ge Hong gently lifted the whisk, and a breeze rose up, lifting Ji Tianqing up from his knees. He said with a loving face: "Disciple, there is no need to be polite. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have become much more mature and stable."
Ji Tianqing said with some embarrassment: "Master, are you laughing at your disciple?"
Ge Hong Fusu laughed, and Ji Tianqing hurriedly helped Ge Hong sit down.
If the Supreme Emperor saw this scene here, he would definitely be jealous.
Ji Tianqing's relationship with Ge Hong was much closer than her relationship with him.
This is normal.
Ji Tianqing went to the Dan League to practice with Ge Hong when he was very young, and he grew up watching Ge Hong.
To her, Ge Hong was truly both a teacher and a father.
"My disciple is unfilial and made Master come all the way here. Master, thank you for your hard work." Ji Tianqing felt a little guilty.
"Whatever you say, I can't care about the internal strife in the empire, and I don't want to care about it. But now that foreign countries are invading, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it?"
"We, the members of the Dan Alliance, have rushed to the Dragon City, you can rest assured." Ge Hong smiled gently.
"Thank you, Master." Ji Tianqing's eyes suddenly turned red.
Ge Hong smiled slightly and asked, "Where is that boy Ye Tian?"
Ji Tianqing said: "He is in seclusion in the palace."
Ge Hong hummed and said, "That kid is better off."
Ji Tianqing said with a smile: "Master, is he still going to beat him?"
Ge Hong said: "Hitting him will give him an advantage. If he dares to bully my precious disciple like this, he must be taught a lesson."
Ji Tianqing smiled very happily.
"Gesheng, calm down, that boy Ye Tian won't dare to bully your beloved disciple even if he takes advantage of his heart and courage!"
Yang Jianfeng and Dugu Yijian appeared and saluted as juniors.
"Yang Jianfeng, what step are you taking soon?" Ge Hong looked at Yang Jianfeng with admiration.
"Ge Sheng's wise eyes." Yang Jianfeng said with a smile.
Ge Hong looked at Dugu Yijian and commented: "You're not bad either. You should have reached the ninth level of the Imperial Realm, right?"
Dugu Yijian replied: "Yes Ge Sheng."
Ge Hong nodded, pointed to Yang Jianfeng and Dugu Yijian, and said: "Now that the world is in turmoil, even Yuancheng is not at peace. Qing'er is pregnant and cannot be frightened. You two must protect her. , if a hair falls out, you are the only one I can ask."
Yang Jianfeng and Dugu Yijian said yes one after another.
Now that the war is tense, they did not follow the army to fight. They were afraid that someone would attract Ji Tianqing's attention, so they stayed in Ye Mansion for personal protection.
"Disciple, my master is going to the palace to see the emperor. You should rest and recuperate, and don't worry about the war." Ge Sheng explained to Ji Tianqing carefully.
"Master, my disciple understands. If you go to the front line, you must be extra careful." Ji Tianqing said reluctantly and worriedly.
Ge Sheng patted the back of Ji Tianqing's hand, nodded to Yang Jianfeng and Dugu Yijian as a greeting, and then went directly into the palace.
"Qing'er, I didn't expect your relationship with Ge Sheng to be so good." Yang Jianfeng sighed.
"Master treats me as his own son," Ji Tianqing said.
"Thank you for sparing Ye Tian Yima, otherwise Ye Tian would have suffered a lot due to Ge Sheng's bad temper." Yang Jianfeng sighed.
Although Ge Hong looked like a fairy, he loved Ji Tianqing very much, was gentle and kind, but he was famous for his bad temper.
"That is, if I had asked Master for help from the beginning, Master Ye Tianqing would have lost his skin due to Master's violent temper." Ji Tianqing said with a smile.
Ge Sheng entered the palace to meet the Queen, who was very happy.
Today, the Queen not only attracted a powerful enemy in Ge Sheng.
Just as she was communicating with Ge Sheng, Meng Sheng came and brought Zhong Hui, the leader of the Kaitian Sect, who was also a saint.
At this point, all the saints from the Yuanling Empire gathered in Yuancheng.
The Queen is as powerful as a tiger.
In the end, the Queen personally led the expedition, accompanied by four saints including Meng Sheng, Ge Sheng, Zhao Sheng, and Zhong Sheng. There were five saints in total. Although there was one less than the enemy in number, the whole army was determined to win.
Ten days later, the Queen led an army to meet the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms in Dragon City.
The two armies faced off.
The Queen met with Jin Zhennan, the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and the patron of the Northern Desert, in front of the army.
"I didn't expect that Her Majesty the Queen would personally go on an expedition. What a great honor!" Jin Zhennan said with a smile. The patron king's courage is unparalleled in the world. Even when facing the most powerful Queen in the Yuanling Empire, he still does not lose even half a point.
"King of patrons, I know why the Three Kingdoms joined forces to invade our country. It is absolutely impossible for me to hand over Ye Tian. But the promise I made before is still valid. As long as the Three Kingdoms withdraw their troops, I will never break my promise." The Queen said loudly.
Jin Zhennan glanced at the Four Saints standing on the city wall behind the Queen, then looked back at the Queen and said: "Your Majesty, how can you allow us to make a decision after discussion."
The Queen said: "Okay, I can afford to wait."
Jin Zhennan bowed his hands and returned to the camp.
Holy war is not so easy to start.
Unless you have the strength to crush the opponent, you will not easily start a holy war. Otherwise, accidentally losing a saint will be an unbearable burden for either party.
It is impossible for the six saints of the Three Kingdoms Alliance to crush the five saints of the Yuanling Empire.
Moreover, from the beginning, the Three Kingdoms Alliance never thought of starting a holy war. The reason why they dispatched six saints at once was simply to test the adaptability of the Yuanling Empire, the first empress in history.
It can be said that the Queen's ability exceeded their expectations. Not only did she gather so many saints so quickly, she also led the conquest in person.
This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can compare with.
After Jin Zhennan returned to camp, the six saints immediately gathered together to discuss the next step.
The same is true for the Yuanling Empire.
Although the Yuanling Empire is not afraid of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it will not easily start a holy war.
