Chapter 1325: Chapter 306: Troops Move Out from Xiangyang, King Qi’s Ambush

Hearing this, Zhao Pusheng said, ”Yes, Master.”

”According to our scout reports, King Qi Li Siqi from the Northwest will also be going to Wushan this time, and he will lead an army there. I think we should also send our forces to maintain our momentum.”

”Also, regarding the Jianghu, Shu Tang Sect is likely to come. Ming Yuzhen has contacted us, claiming their Tang Sect will send people over.”

”Moreover, the Emei Sect, it is heard that Master Jue Mie is personally going.”

”Lastly, the Zoroastrian Sect might also send people; recently, they’ve suffered severe losses in combat and will likely not miss a chance to supplement their ranks with a Dharma King Level Molten Furnace Upper Realm inheritance.”

Upon hearing this, Monk Peng remarked, ”Hmm, winning the Witch God Inheritance won’t be easy this time.”

”Who should we send from our side?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Pusheng said, ”This time, His Majesty will personally lead the expedition, along with me, General Ni, Chen Jiusi, and Sixth Brother partaking.”

”In terms of military, General Ni intends to lead ten thousand men, and I will lead another ten thousand, thereby matching King Qi with twenty thousand troops.”

Peng Yingyu declared, ”I will personally head over this time. Prepare yourselves over the next few days; we are about two days from Wushan. We depart in three days, arriving before the Witch God Inheritance activates.”

”Understood.”

Upon hearing this, everyone clasped their fists, and Peng Yingyu nodded, saying, ”Go ahead and prepare yourselves.”

”Yes!”

Everyone acknowledged, dispersing as Peng Yingyu returned unto his thoughts, everyone gradually departing upon seeing this scene.

Xu Shouhui was the first to rise, heading to the door to observe the battered, barely breathing little eunuch sprawled on the ground. Coldly, he instructed the other little eunuchs attending outside, ”Lift him up, send him back. For disrespecting the State Preceptor, feed him to the horses at the Imperial Stables.”

”Yes.”

Upon hearing this, the others promptly responded, and immediately, a cohort of little eunuchs hoisted the little eunuch and departed.

At this moment, Xu Shouhui turned back to Peng Yingyu, saying, ”Master, no need for excess guilt; the errors you once made I ought to amend with General Ni diligently, rest assured, Master.”

”Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Peng Yingyu acknowledged, as Xu Shouhui subsequently strode away, quickly vanishing from Peng Yingyu’s place of austere practice, returning to his imperial palace to indulge in pleasure.

At this point, Zhao Pusheng stood up, addressing Ding Pulong, ”Sixth Brother, you’re at the prime age for achieving great feats; you should step outside more with no need to attend Master during his retreat.”

Ding Pulong regarded Zhao Pusheng, saying, ”Senior Brother, my reasons for staying here are half for myself, half because of you, so spare the exhortation.”

Hesitating momentarily, Zhao Pusheng patted Ding Pulong’s shoulder, then glanced at Ni Wenjun and Chen Jiusi.

His gaze gradually shifted from Ni Wenjun to Chen Jiusi, saying, ”You’re Chen Jiusi, correct?”

Chen Jie clasped his hands, saying, ”Greetings, Right General.”

Zhao Pusheng said, ”Yes, I’ve heard of you. You’re talented, and Tianyuan Empire needs people like you, especially your adept governance skills. You’re wasted as a mere General of Eastern Expedition; why not come to the center and I will recommend you to His Majesty for the position of Right Minister to work for me?”

Ni Wenjun frowned, saying, ”Zhao Pusheng, are you outright poaching here?”

Zhao Pusheng said, ”A wise bird chooses the tree to perch on. Following you, he can’t display his talents; why not follow me where he can shine brightly?”

Ni Wenjun asked, ”How do you know he can’t thrive with me?”

Laughing, Zhao Pusheng said, ”You’re just a martial artist, hand skills may suffice, but in terms of intellect, hehe...”

”Zhao Pusheng, are you looking to get beaten?”

Ni Wenjun burst into fury, Zhao Pusheng said, ”Hehe, this is Master’s retreat, I won’t fight you here, but we’ll have a battle sooner or later.”

Then Zhao Pusheng glanced at Chen Jie, saying, ”Chen Jiusi, consider it, I greatly admire your abilities.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his hands, saying, ”Thank you, Right General, for the appreciation, but alas, I am limited in capacity, thus difficult to shoulder great responsibilities, hence I fear unable to comply.”

Hearing this, Zhao Pusheng said, ”Oh, it seems you aren’t a wise man; since that’s the case, I won’t insist, take care of yourself, hope you don’t regret today’s choice later.”

Warily said”, and Zhao Pusheng departed.

Leaving only Chen Jie and Ni Wenjun, with Ni Wenjun frowning, saying, ”Jiusi, if you want to follow him, feel free; Zhao Pusheng is certainly competent, and moreover, he...”

Chen Jie listened to Ni Wenjun’s words and said, ”Brother, what are you saying?”

Startled, Ni Wenjun glanced at Chen Jie, who said, ”You and I are siblings; how could I forsake my brother? In my heart, Brother is forever the most important.”

Ni Wenjun felt deeply moved, saying, ”Good brother.”

The two exchanged brief conversation, followed by Ni Wenjun saying, ” Let’s go, I’ll take you to see our military camp; your Azure Dragon Guard would be thrilled to know you’re here.”

Chen Jie smiled, saying, ”Sounds good.”

The two arrived at the door and saw Ding Pulong.

Ding Pulong has a candid heart, speaks straightforwardly, and Ni Wenjun is also straightforward, so their relationship is rather good.

Ni Wenjun arrived at the door, saying, ”Pulang, Old Peng won’t eat, but you can’t follow suit, abstaining from food for five or six days, the body can’t withstand it.”

Ni Wenjun commented with concern to Ding Pulong.

Ding Pulong laughed, ”Who said I haven’t eaten? I’m pretending I didn’t eat just to deceive my Master; actually, I’ve been sneaking food at night.”
