"These father and son wall lamps are really interesting!"

Ying Wuji lay on the recliner and rocked slowly, living a very comfortable life.

In fact, since the battle against the demons, he had noticed that Ying Wuque's performance was a bit strange.

Very strange.

In general, all other emotions were fine, and the emotional bar would rise normally when it should.

Except for fear.

With such a surging tide of demons, anyone would feel fear, even he himself was scared for a while, but Ying Wuque had no fear at all. The more he should be afraid, the stronger the hostility on him.

Others fear him for his greed.

This person definitely has some mental issues.

After carefully studying Bai Jie's memories, he found that this thing seemed to be closely related to Emperor Zhuanxu's corpse.

This time, he was just trying to sow discord.

Unexpectedly, it went smoothly.

The main reason for this was naturally that Ying Yue's sacrifice promoted Ying Wuque's cultivation, which was only beneficial to Ying Wuque and had no drawbacks. It would even be better if he died earlier, the old one died early, and the young one ascended to the throne early.

The other two reasons were that the father and son really had no affection, and the hostility brought from the Emperor's corpse was indeed terrifying.

However...

Ying Wuji still couldn't understand another problem. As sons, why did Lao Bi Deng oppress him to the extreme, but wanted to cut off meat for Ying Wuque to eat?

In his impression, Lao Bi Deng had always been unkind and ungrateful. Even the few times he showed kindness to him were full of tricks and insincerity.

The difference in attitude towards the two sons.

Could it be just because of the Bai family's in-laws?

At least Ying Wuji felt that this did not fit Lao Bi Deng's character, and he always felt that Lao Bi Deng had other motives.

But what other motives could there be?

Can't figure it out.

Might as well not think about it.

Ying Wuji stood up, stretched, and went into the practice room. His schedule was very full. In addition to daily practice, online and offline classes, he would spar with masters in the Lingwu Divine Realm every night.

Now that his cultivation had basically reached a bottleneck, his combat skills had fallen behind.

He was full of skills, but when it came to fighting, he could hardly use them, and he was still used to using the same few.

He needed to hone his skills.

It would be best if he could reach the level of Ji Tong, forgetting all martial arts and spells, and only retaining the essence.

If he could reach that level, his strength would definitely take another leap, at least not weaker than Ji Tong.

This old guy had been alive for hundreds of years and still had some tricks up his sleeve.

And the demon clan's great saint seemed to be even stronger than Ji Tong.

In this world.

The fist is the ultimate truth.

He always felt that he was only one step away from becoming a saint, and he couldn't figure out how to break through in a short time.

He couldn't figure out how to make the human race's fist bigger.

Then he might as well make his own fist bigger first!

...

Days passed by.

The various countries were once again shrouded in a strange silence. Apart from the Qi Kingdom using the pretext of exterminating the rebels to attack the Jiang Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Wu being blocked by the Black Armor Army led by Nangong Yan when they tried to pass through, there were no other battles happening.

It seemed that they were all gearing up to attack the Chu Kingdom.

Inside the Chu Kingdom, however, there was no sense of an impending major battle.

Mi Xingli was pushing for reforms with all her might, targeting the vital points of the major aristocrats with every move.

The Qu family and the other two families were doing their best to resist and trying to unite with the small aristocrats to resist. However, the last battle against the demons had left many people with a shadow, and with the continuous brainwashing by the Chu King's secret guards, Mi Xingli's reformist faction had gained the support of many people.

After all, as long as the Chu Kingdom was still there, they could still live a good life.

If the Chu Kingdom was gone, what use would it be to have more resources from the court?

Moreover, when Mi Xingli privately contacted them, she also hinted that she would not harm them.

In addition, there were already some small aristocrats who were dependent on the Chu King. With this series of operations, all of the followers of Qu Jingzhao had been completely separated.

To some extent, the Li and Chu Kingdoms were somewhat similar, the only difference being that the Chu Kingdom was dominated by the Mi family.

After staying in the Li Kingdom for so long, Mi Xingli had a good grasp of this aspect.

This series of major moves.

Directly put the Qu family under pressure, and they quickly chose to band together. Whatever Mi Xingli wanted to do, they resolutely opposed, and whatever Mi Xingli didn't want to do, they insisted on doing.

There were arguments every day in the court.

Fortunately, Mi Xingli was fierce enough and almost always won a small victory.

On the other hand, various advertisements for alcoholic beverages were being promoted, saying that the divine general Ying Wuji became so powerful because he drank this kind of alcohol every day.

Alcoholic beverages first became popular in the military, and then gradually spread to the aristocratic circle, becoming a luxury item in the aristocratic circle, with momentum no less than the storm caused by the jade soap in the past.

Of course, the three families of Qu Jingzhao did not want to see the national treasury being filled step by step like this. But just like when they couldn't resist the money sent to the Li Kingdom by the jade soap in the past, this time they couldn't resist the alcohol either.

In short.

Mi Xingli's rapid reforms had put the Qu family under increasing pressure.

Of course... the resistance was also growing stronger.

In the Divine General's Mansion.

The two sat facing each other.

"By doing this..."

Ying Wuji looked at Mi Xingli opposite him, grinned, and said, "It will backfire sooner or later. If you really make them desperate, the consequences could be very serious."

He could see that the three families of Qu Jingzhao were getting desperate.Mi Xingli casually sipped her wine and huffed, "If they're anxious, let them be. With only the last month left of the six-month deadline, do they dare to start a civil war? The term 'bounce back from rock bottom' is quite fitting. That's exactly what I want them to do."

"Tsks!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but smack his lips, "Using external threats to suppress them, you're really wicked. If they dare to start a civil war at this critical juncture, they'd truly become the public enemy of the Mi clan. But, oh Great Li, even a cornered rabbit will bite. Seeing that your next move is to revoke their fiefdoms, aren't you afraid they'll defect and betray the country?"

"God forbid!"

Mi Xingli waved her hand with a smile, "You don't really think I'm that kind of oppressive person, do you?"

Ying Wuji retorted, "Aren't you?"

Mi Xingli snorted and said nothing.

After a few more sips of wine, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "Let's focus on the external threats first! Brother Ying, what do you think our chances of victory are in a month?"

"Our chances..."

Ying Wuji spread his hands, "Who knows? Last time, although Kingdom Qian also sent reinforcements, they were basically second-tier. After they got rid of the Jiang surname, they almost instantly reformed and how strong they've become now, I have no idea. As for Kingdom Qian, I guess the secret realm our Bai family gave them has been thoroughly exploited, and their military strength must have increased a lot.

As long as the military funds are sufficient, as long as the army listens to me.

Facing one power alone, of course, I have quite a bit of confidence.

But if facing two at the same time, then we can only hope that the Qu Jingzhao trio will pull their weight."

There's naturally a chance of victory, but Kingdom Qian's military strength is too formidable, somewhat difficult to withstand.

Their entire nation is armed, and after years of military reform, they're not something Kingdom Chu can compare with.

"I see!"

Mi Xingli nodded vigorously. In the past half-year, Ying Wuji's presence in the court seemed weak, but in fact, he had a significant influence on Kingdom Chu. Not to mention the civil officials, many of the reformist talents under her command had come over from the Great Li academy to join him.

Most importantly, it was the military aspect.

Ying Wuji, as the general appointed by Mi Diao, held the tiger tally and commanded nearly a hundred thousand royal troops, directly carrying out military reforms. He blended the systems of the Ying and Zhao families, made some adjustments according to the national conditions of Kingdom Chu, and stimulated a lot of internal vitality.

He also nearly emptied the Bai family's coffers to build a massive spirit-gathering array, significantly enhancing the cultivation of the hundred thousand troops.

Furthermore, with Nangong Yu and Vice General Zhang as the foundation, he created a military academy within the academy, generously imparting the Nangong family's battle array techniques. All junior officers commanding over a thousand soldiers were required to take compulsory classes.

The internal military drills, one after another, improved command abilities by leaps and bounds.

Even the young generals from the Qu Jingzhao trio came over to attend classes, and Ying Wuji didn't drive them away, even opening the doors wide for convenience.

After a while, the Qu Jingzhao trio themselves prohibited their clan's generals from attending classes, fearing internal chaos. Anyone discovered attending was immediately dismissed from their position.

But Mi Xingli didn't indulge them.

For every dismissal from the Qu Jingzhao trio, the royal family would recruit the same number.

The royal family needed people; could they really detain them illegally?

Thus, the auditors became official students.

Fortunately, there weren't many.

Most had participated in the Demon Subjugation War, so the impact hadn't spread too much.

Otherwise, the Qu Jingzhao trio would really be in a panic.

Mi Xingli had quite a bit of confidence in the troops led by Ying Wuji. Even if they couldn't match the direct forces of the Bai family's army, they were far superior to the previous elite level of Kingdom Chu.

But it's hard to fight against multiple foes with just two fists.

No one is confident in fighting a divided battle.

It really depends on the performance of the Qu Jingzhao trio.

Although these three families felt the crisis and had been training hard recently, how well they trained was still uncertain to everyone.

After all, Kingdom Qian was genuinely strong. Even if Ying Wuji led the elite troops to fight, they might suffer heavy losses.

The most ideal situation would be to let the Qu Jingzhao trio be cannon fodder for Ying Wuji.

But that seemed a bit unrealistic.

After all, those three families weren't fools.

Ying Wuji looked at Mi Xingli teasingly, "Have you thought of a strategy? My life isn't that expendable. I've been in Kingdom Chu for so long, and I've emptied our Bai family's coffers. If you make me burn my blood essence again, I won't comply!"

"Of course not!"

Mi Xingli's eyes twinkled, and the worry on her face vanished instantly, smilingly she said, "When the time comes, just watch my brilliant plan resolve both internal and external threats."

Ying Wuji raised an eyebrow, surprised by her confidence, "Then I'll wait and see!"

"If it really gets resolved..."

Mi Xingli bit her lip and looked at him, "Would this wisdom qualify me to be a daughter-in-law of your family?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Looking into Mi Xingli's eyes, which were like pools of spring water, he didn't quite know what to say.

During this time, he had been real neighbors with Mi Xingli for five months.

They met more frequently than when they were in Kingdom Li. Whenever Mi Xingli had time, she would come to the Divine General's Mansion, and she would mooch meals here, to the point where the cooks in his mansion were worried about losing their jobs.

In her spare time, she would even dress up as a young girl and go shopping with Bai Yi, shocking passersby along the way.

After all, the Lady in the court was too fierce, quite different from the demure wife she appeared to be in front of Bai Yi.

So the outside world had already confirmed this marriage.

It was just a matter of time.

But when chatting or discussing matters with him, she was much more proper than before.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Mi Xingli couldn't help but laugh lightly, "I've really rendered you speechless, haven't I? You're not taking this seriously, are you? Look how scared you are. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would throw herself at someone? To think you see me that way, you're really twisted!"

With that, she sprang to her feet.The hands and feet were extremely unclean, and all the wine on the table, whether opened or not, was collected.

The rogue smiled and said, "I'll take it back and enjoy it myself!"

Then he picked up the big and small bottles and left the God General's Mansion happily.

Ying Wuji finished the wine in his cup, then quickly left the mansion, mounted on his Red Hare horse, and headed directly to the Bai family's mountain.

The big battle was about to begin.

Some alcohol was needed for this.

I wonder if those guys will feel heartbroken when they see me using high-proof alcohol as medicine.

But there's no other way. There are countless medicines for treating injuries and preventing infection, but none are as low-cost as alcohol.

The fine wine of the Chu Kingdom is in high demand.

Not because of a shortage in supply.

On the contrary, the supply far exceeds the demand.

The surplus has all been turned into high-proof alcohol by Ying Wuji.

After all.

The productivity of a ten-thousand-person assembly line is not just talk.

As for the problem of too many people and the risk of leaks, it simply doesn't exist.

Because...

"Clang, clang..."

The iron chains rattled.

The door to the distillery beneath the mountain villa opened.

A group of people looked in Ying Wuji's direction, their eyes showing no emotion, but Ying Wuji could always sense a hint of resentment in their eyes.

The beans have been spilled.

More than ten thousand puppets have been working in the distillery day and night for five months!

Ying Wuji: "..."

He felt like he was truly chosen to be a laborer.

Single-handedly supporting the entire financial system of the Chu Kingdom.

...

The next day.

A piece of news from the west shocked the entire court of the Chu Kingdom.

Ying Wuque...

Has broken through!

Five months after the battle against the demons, he broke through to the realm of a martial artist, and even mastered two super martial arts skills, the Slaughter Domain and the Soul-Slaughtering Technique, far surpassing the former Ying Yue in terms of actual strength.

The announcement was made yesterday, which happened to be the ancestral worship day of the Ying royal family.

The Kingdom of Qian not only announced this news, but also held a special oath-taking ceremony for this purpose, and the purpose of this oath-taking ceremony was the long-cherished wish of the Kingdom of Qian for hundreds of years.

To the east!

A stone has stirred up a thousand waves.

The Kingdom of Qian's ancestral worship has excited all the countries in the world.

It's about to start.

And it seems pretty clear who the target is.

The deadline for the Chu Kingdom is approaching, and there are no other options besides the Chu Kingdom.

When the news reached the Chu Kingdom, countless people spent sleepless nights.

Enlightenment Realm!

Ying Wuque actually broke through so quickly, and mastered two of the most troublesome divine skills.

Back then, Ying Yue only relied on the Slaughter Domain and the newly acquired Soul-Slaughtering Technique to intimidate the surrounding countries, but...

It should be noted that Ying Wuque is even more formidable than Ying Yue was at that time, with a spiritual embryo that is two grades higher, and he's even the body of Emperor Zhuanxu.

How terrifying is that?

Isn't this just a youthful version of Ying Wuji?

But even a youthful version of Ying Wuji is terrifying!

After all, in the battlefield, these two are the most powerful divine skills. In comparison, the deployment of more than ten thousand elite troops is equivalent to the entire population of the Kingdom of Qian, and the Kingdom of Qian is not lacking in these ten thousand troops at all!

What can be done about this?

Five months is too short, and the new recruits of the Chu Kingdom have not even finished training yet.

There's still an hour until the court meeting.

The civil and military officials of the Chu Kingdom have all gathered in front of the main hall.

A large group of civil and military officials, their eyes occasionally glancing at Ying Wuji, looking hesitant to speak.

But no one spoke up.

Ying Wuji also couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.

During his time in the Chu Kingdom, he has always been aloof, giving off a sense of being isolated.

Only when facing his students in the academy does he appear more amiable.

It's precisely because of this that the King of Chu has been able to allocate a lot of resources to the Bai family, and in just five months, he has established a foothold in the Chu Kingdom.

Of course.

The most important thing is the credit from the battle against the demons.

Ying Wuji is clear about this.

The officials present are also clear about it.

They feel like it's time for Ying Wuji to go to war again.

The three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao are extremely conflicted.

They are afraid that if Ying Wuji doesn't go to deal with Ying Wuque, the task of confronting the Kingdom of Qian head-on will fall on their heads. They are not worried about losing the battle, as the city walls at the border of Chu and Qian have been reinforced with concrete since five months ago.

They don't think they won't be able to defend themselves with the advantage of the city walls, but they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But they are also afraid that if Ying Wuji goes to deal with Ying Wuque and ends up winning, his reputation will rise again, making life even more difficult for the three families in the Chu Kingdom.

Several times, someone wanted to test Ying Wuji's opinion.

But in the end, they all restrained themselves from acting on this impulse.

"Squeak!"

The doors of the main hall suddenly opened.

The shrill voice of the chief eunuch announced the beginning of the morning court.

The officials split into two rows and entered the main hall at a steady pace.

The civil and military officials of the Chu Kingdom were not divided into very detailed categories, but standing at the forefront of the two rows were naturally the two highest-ranking ministers.

One was the Prime Minister, the current head of the Qu family, Qu Liang.

The other was the Grand Marshal, the younger brother of the previous King of Chu, and also the uncle of Mi Duo, the former number one warrior of Chu, Xiong Wei, who is now over a hundred years old. Although he hasn't fought in a few years, he still carries a lot of weight in the Chu Kingdom.

Ying Wuji's position was behind Xiong Wei.

According to Mi Duo, as long as he earns enough military merit, Xiong Wei will voluntarily resign and give up the position of Grand Marshal.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

With the chief eunuch's announcement, Mi Duo, dressed in royal robes, walked up to the throne, his imposing figure sitting on the throne, putting pressure on everyone's hearts.As for the Crown Prince Mi Rong and the Lady Mi Xingli, they obediently stood behind him. This position was no longer that of a subject, but rather that of an heir being groomed.

Mi Duo scanned the courtiers with a faint opening in his mouth, giving off a grand feeling.

"Do any of you have anything to report?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yi, who had just been reinstated, stepped forward with large strides. "Your Majesty, yesterday, the Qian Kingdom held a ceremony to worship their ancestors and declared their intention to march east. It is said that the one leading the eastern army is Ying Wuque, who has publicly announced his breakthrough to the Wushen realm, mastering both the domain of slaughter and the ability to slaughter spirits.

The Qian Kingdom has been planning to march east for hundreds of years, but they have always returned empty-handed due to the formidable strength of the Li and Chu Kingdoms. Now, just as the six-month period for subduing the demons is approaching, they have announced their intentions, clearly targeting our Chu Kingdom.

Such ambition is chilling!"

Mi Duo furrowed his brows. "Oh? Is that so? Minister Qu, what is your opinion?"

Qu Yi spoke loudly, "The Qian Kingdom has been planning to march east for hundreds of years, but with the formidable Li and Chu Kingdoms in their way, they have always returned empty-handed. Now, after so many years, this upstart does not even consider our great Chu Kingdom. I believe, Your Majesty, that we should send troops westward to strike a heavy blow against these invaders and put an end to their ambitions!"

His words were powerful and resounding.

Those who were unaware might have thought that the Qian Kingdom was just a self-deluded clown.

If one were to look at history alone, it did seem to have that flavor.

The struggle for dominance between Li and Chu had lasted for hundreds of years, and the Qian Kingdom had always sought to march east, either by forming an alliance with Li to attack Chu, or with Chu to attack Li. They had even formed marriages with both countries, both of which had promised to help them march east. However, regardless of the outcome, both countries had reneged on their promises regarding the eastern march.

It was like deceiving a fool.

But now...

This fool has grown bolder!

Speaking like this, isn't it a bit self-deceptive?

But many people did not seem to think so.

One after another, they voiced their agreement.

"I concur!"

"I concur!"

"I concur!"

"The upstart must be met with a heavy blow!"

Others: "..."

Mi Duo seemed quite excited, slapping his thigh heavily. "Good! Everyone has always said that our Chu Kingdom's spine was broken in the battle against the demons, but look now, everyone is a strong and resolute man!

Our great Chu Kingdom will not tolerate such wolves encroaching on our borders!

What do you think... who is suitable for this battle?"

Qu Yi immediately stepped forward. "Your Majesty! Ying Wuji is a divine general of our great Chu, and he has performed an extraordinary service for our country in the battle against the demons. For nearly half a year, he has never asked the court for anything, which is truly moving.

I have heard that General Ying was originally the chosen Crown Prince of the Qian Kingdom, but his maternal family was framed by traitors and he was imprisoned by the Qian Kingdom. After many trials and tribulations, he finally settled in our great Chu. The position of Crown Prince was then taken by the traitor!

This enmity is irreconcilable!

Today is the perfect opportunity for General Ying to seek revenge. I believe Your Majesty should fulfill this noble cause and give General Ying a chance to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Although the powerful Qi Kingdom may attack at any time, General Ying can act freely!

Even if Qi attacks, we will resist with all our might, giving General Ying time to fulfill his wish!"

Mi Duo: "..."

Mi Xingli: "..."

Ying Wuji: "..."

The people present: "..."

Everyone was somewhat silenced by Qu Yi's words.

Everyone could guess that if the Qian Kingdom marched, the Qi Kingdom would surely take advantage, but compared to the Qian Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom was not as strong.

No one wanted to confront Ying Wuque, and it was clear that the Qu family did not want to oppose Ying Wuque.

But they had not expected Qu Yi to put it so eloquently and shamelessly. In just a few words, he not only pushed the difficult task to Ying Wuji, but also described it as a piece of cake.

This piece of cake.

He did not want to eat it.

He deliberately left it for Ying Wuji.

The difficulty was greatly reduced by him, and even if he won, it would not be considered a great achievement.

Instead, it would be another battlefield.

The Qi Kingdom...

It's a wonder you can say that!

The Qi Kingdom was indeed strong, but from the performance in the previous battle against the demons, it was at least a step below the Qian Kingdom.

Ying Wuji was also quite amazed by his words, not expecting Qu Yi to be such a little genius.

After Qu Yi spoke, the ministers of the three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao all echoed his sentiments.

"I concur!"

"I concur!"

"I concur!"

They agreed, so naturally, there were those who disagreed, and the court was immediately in an uproar.

Both sides argued their points.

But in the end, Qu Yi's faction ultimately gained the upper hand.

One reason was that the justification was indeed eloquent.

The other reason was that the most powerful fighter, Mi Xingli, had not participated in the debate.

Ying Wuji curiously glanced at Mi Xingli, wondering what she was planning.

Mi Xingli did not speak, but when everyone's attention was focused on the debate, she winked at Ying Wuji, her smile carrying a hint of cunning.

"Silence!"

Mi Duo waved his hand to stop the commotion and looked at Ying Wuji with a smile. "General Ying, are you willing to lead the troops to face the enemy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned to Ying Wuji.

Especially Qu Yi, whose gaze was extremely intense.

The last time he was demoted three times in a row was all thanks to Ying Wuji.

He thought Ying Wuji was strong.

But only in comparison to himself and the Bai family army.

The Qian Kingdom was known throughout the world as a fierce and aggressive nation, and now, they had obtained resources for cultivation from an unknown source, almost completely making up for the lack of middle-level strength. The entire population was armed, making them a formidable force.

Even if the combined forces of the three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao resisted, they would likely face a tough battle.

He wanted to see if Ying Wuji dared to take on this challenge.

If he didn't, he would add fuel to the fire.

Ying Wuji just smiled. "I am willing to lead the troops into battle!"

Upon hearing this...Qu Yi was initially stunned, then his smile grew even wider. He hadn't expected Ying Wuji to be so brash and reckless at such a young age. He had heard that Wuji had been quite cunning in Kingdom Li; could it be that after pretending to be noble in Kingdom Chu for so long, his brain had rusted from disuse?

"Good!"

Mi Diao burst into hearty laughter: "General Ying has been in Kingdom Chu for over five months, establishing academies and breweries, continuously cultivating talents for our great Chu and providing substantial financial revenue. Yet, I have seldom rewarded you.

Today, General Ying has taken the initiative to shoulder the burden of war, with such a sharp and unstoppable war intent.

However..."

Upon hearing this turn of phrase, Qu Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mi Diao's voice was loud and clear as he continued: "However, Kingdom Qian is truly a nation of tigers and wolves, not an easy adversary. This battle may not be won in a short time. In this era of great strife, one must plan carefully. Currently, there are five cities in the western part of Kingdom Chu bordering Kingdom Qian, and I fear there will be no peace for years to come. It is precisely a time when we urgently need to focus on military affairs.

General Ying, you are a rare and fierce general in this world, and this pass cannot be defended without you.

As long as you do not fall behind in this battle, I will confer upon you the title of Marquis of the Western Marches, with a fief of five cities!

How about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was shocked.

Especially the three families of Qu Jingzhao, who showed a look of horror.

The reform in Kingdom Chu had been ongoing for five months. Although it had not yet extended to the fiefs, there had already been significant actions.

Take, for example, these five western cities, which originally belonged to several minor Mi clans. Fearing a hard confrontation with Kingdom Qian, they had returned their lands to the king under Mi Diao's inducement.

Everyone knew that the focus of the reform would eventually fall on the fiefs.

But now...

There was a regressive move.

And it was happening to Ying Wuji.

These five cities were far from fertile lands, yet they held important trade routes between Chu-Qian and Chu-Yan, which were quite lucrative.

If these important cities were given to Ying Wuji, and he voluntarily handed them back after the war, wouldn't it make the rest of them seem ungrateful?

On the contrary.

If they fell into their own hands.

They could greatly delay the progress of the reform.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

Qu Yi didn't give Ying Wuji a chance to respond and stepped forward with a worried expression: "Your Majesty! Our great Kingdom Chu has a thousand-year legacy, and we have never before conferred a marquisate on someone of a different surname. Although General Ying is a divine general of this era, the ancestral laws must not be abolished. Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

A chorus of agreement followed.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Seeing this scene, Ying Wuji almost laughed.

Although he didn't participate much in court affairs, he always attended the grand court meetings.

This was indeed one of the specialties of the three families of Qu Jingzhao.

Indistinctly, he had also basically confirmed Mi Xingli's thoughts, which were very close to his own speculation.

"It seems there is such a matter!"

Mi Diao appeared to have an epiphany, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if still worried: "But Kingdom Qian is not so easy to deal with, and whoever fights this battle, the position of Marquis of the Western Marches must exist, otherwise the borders of our great Chu will be unstable! Surely we can't have General Ying repel Kingdom Qian and then confer someone else as Marquis of the Western Marches, right?"

Qu Yi: "......"

The others: "!!!"

Ying Wuji: ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

How interesting.

After such a big roundabout, King Chu is luring the dog in to kill it!

For a moment.

The people of the three families of Qu Jingzhao looked at each other, their expressions quite conflicted.

Qu Yi's cheeks were almost twitching from biting.

Finally.

With a hard heart and a stomp of his foot, he stepped forward: "If Your Majesty does not disdain, I am willing to lead troops to resist the powerful Qian!"

There it is!

It's become resisting the powerful Qian again.

However...

Ying Wuji grinned, are you sure you can withstand Ying Wuque? My demonic lineage has already been gnawed away by them quite a bit...

He glanced at Mi Xingli.

Tsk!

This girl has really gone to great lengths to find cannon fodder for me!

To throw out such a juicy bait as the Marquis of the Western Marches?

Mi Xingli, feeling Ying Wuji's gaze, winked at him, her eyes forming crescent moons.
