"Your majesty, this humble subject pays his respects to the emperor." Although he didn't need to be polite anymore, he still had to put on airs on the surface.

"Yes, the Regent has ascended to the throne. There's no need to act this way when you see me in the future." Xi Wen, the little emperor, also said with a smile.

"I wonder why Your Majesty has called this humble subject here." Mu Rong Xiu said calmly.

"My beloved one probably already knows that the Northern Desert Army is about to depart for the West." Otherwise, with Eunuch Huang's current intelligence, he wouldn't be able to directly speak to Murong Xiu about these things, because it was usually Murong Xiu who was in charge. Yet, this time, the emperor suddenly called him over, making Murong Xiu feel curious at first, but when he saw the somewhat unnatural manner in which Eunuch Huang spoke, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Yes, I wonder what the emperor plans for us." Mu Rong Xiu looked playfully at Xi Wen as he spoke. He knew that the latter definitely didn't have any thoughts about the matter. This was probably why Eunuch Huang was instructing the emperor.

"About this, I've called the Regent this time to hear what he has in mind." Xi Wen saw Murong Xiu's neither cold nor hot tone and panicked. After all, he had always listened to Murong Xiu's thoughts in the past. If it was him, Xi Wen wouldn't be used to it, but when he thought of what Eunuch Huang had told him, he braced himself and said this out loud.

"I don't have any thoughts. I'll just listen to the emperor's arrangements." When Eunuch Huang saw the look in Murong Xiu's eyes, he avoided it. He was also surprised; this thought of his had probably already been known by Murong Xiu long ago.

"Ah, Lord Murong is the Regent. How can he not have thoughts right now?" Xi Wen was also panicking. He had called Murong Xiu over to see what Murong Xiu had in mind, but Murong Xiu had said he had no intentions. Xi Wen was at a loss as well, while Murong Xiu didn't say another word.

From Murong Xiu's point of view, he had always been the one supporting the little emperor. However, since this little emperor had listened to his words, it was clear that he didn't trust him. Thinking of this, Murong Xiu also looked coldly at Eunuch Huang; Eunuch Huang knew that he had touched Murong Xiu's bottom line this time, but he still braced himself and spoke.

"Lord Murong, the emperor also wants to know what plans you have, but he has no other intentions. He hopes Lord Murong can lead troops to battle again this time." Eunuch Huang sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that after what happened last time, Murong Xiu probably wouldn't want to go on another expedition. But right now, there was no other choice other than Murong Xiu, so Eunuch Huang asked the little emperor to call him over after talking to Xi Wen. But Murong Xiu clearly knew that he was the one who ordered it.

"Eunuch Huang, do you think I, Murong Xiu, have such thoughts?" Ever since he had returned from the northern border, he had become extremely angry. The last time the Prime Minister had plotted against him, it was because he was at odds with him. Since Eunuch Huang was the eunuch next to an emperor and was so ignorant, why did he have to give him face?

"Lord Murong, this old servant knows that sire still remembers grudges from last time. This old servant has apologized to sire, I hope sire will forgive this old servant for the sake of the emperor." Eunuch Huang also knew that Murong Xiu more or less had a grudge against him. After all, he also had an attitude of distrust towards him last time, so he felt a bit of guilt when facing Murong Xiu this time. When Murong Xiu heard that the Northern State was going to wage war against his army, he had to prepare everything. Therefore, this time Murong Xiu felt the need to give Eunuch Huang a warning.

Eunuch Huang naturally knew what Murong Xiu was thinking about him, but he was wholeheartedly supporting the little emperor, so he endured it. When Murong Xiu saw Eunuch Huang's attitude, he no longer played around with it. He looked at Eunuch Huang and said coldly.

"Eunuch Huang, I am leading an army to invade the Northern Yue. I hope the same thing doesn't happen again. If there's nothing else, then Murong is going to leave first." After Murong Xiu finished speaking, he paid no more attention to their expressions and left. Xi Wen, the young emperor, clenched his fists tightly. He was a useless person to begin with, and when Eunuch Huang saw that Xi Wen did not say anything either, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Xi Li had to have Murong Xiu. If he hadn't, Xi Li would have been facing a war with the Northern Yue. No one would be able to provoke him, so no matter how unhappy Xi Wen and Eunuch Huang were, they could only bear with it.

On the other side, after Murong Xiu returned to his mansion, he called for Murong Bowen.

"How are things going over there?" Mu Rong Xiu asked, still looking out the window.

"Lord, Dongping Kingdom has yet to speak. They are obviously still waiting for the right moment." Murong Bowen said respectfully.

"Humph, the request that those people have made is likely a little too excessive. Whatever, this time around, Helian will likely not dare to bring his entire strength to the battleground." Mu Rong Xiu said coldly after thinking for a while. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.

"Lord, this time, Helian did not bring any troops with him. Instead, he is Commander Lan Cang of the Northern Yue. This time, he is in charge of serving as Commander." Murong Bowen told him the news that he had received.

"Hmm? "Blue Sky, it's actually him." When Murong Xiu heard the news, he was also surprised. He knew of Lan Cang's strength. He was abnormally brave and not inferior to Helian. If it was him, it would be troublesome.

"That's right. This time, Lan Cang is the marshal. Moreover, there seems to be a female general." When Murong Bowen said this, he also felt that it was a bit inconceivable.

"Mm, I know that. You just need to get as much information as possible from Dongping. As for the rest of the matter, you don't need to worry about it …"

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Murong Bo Wen knew that Murong Xiu didn't like him asking too many questions, so he nodded.

When Murong Xiu heard that this time around, there was a bit of trouble in his heart. Helian Lie might be more outstanding than him in other areas, but in comparison to the war, Lan Cang was an expert in this area, so Helian had a headache, especially this elusive Zi Yuan. He had seen this woman's assassination technique and it was impossible to guard against it.

"Alright, you can go now. If you have any news, report it in time." Murong Xiu said as he clasped his hands.

"Yes, then your subordinate will take his leave."

"Helian, Helian, what are you playing at? Don't tell me you really have the strength to not worry about other forces killing you in one fell swoop?" Murong Xiu muttered to himself. He really couldn't understand how Helian could be like this. He was well aware of the fact that Lan Cang was guarding the border, but now that Lan Cang had returned, could it be that the battle had been resolved?

However, Helian has always lacked the opportunity to send out troops. Now that everything was in order, it was naturally time for the war to begin again. Actually, it was Murong Xiu's fault, but who told Murong Xiu to go against the promise of the two of them? Since Murong Xiu was pretending to be ignorant, Helian could naturally do the same thing.

Mu Rong Xiu just stared outside the window, dazed. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Bei Yue was already in his formal attire, and a chilling aura emanated from within the Northern Yue.

The great army was about to depart. Helian Lie had long known that this expedition was of great importance to the Northern Yue. Thus, he had planned to take advantage of the time when Lan Cang was at the Alchemists' Assembly to lead his subjects and see them off.

The meeting of the oaths masters was still in progress, and after Lan Cang finished his words, he noticed the arrival of Helian Lie with his subjects and shouted, "The emperor has brought his subjects to send us off!

"Hua!" When the people below heard General Lan Cang shout out that the Emperor had personally come, they hastily turned to look at Helian. At this moment, Helian wore a yellow robe and a golden crown on his head, exuding an indescribable majesty. Helian walked to the stage and roared.

"Brothers, I'm going to send you off this time!" Helian didn't say much. Just a simple sentence was enough to cause the atmosphere to become thunderous. When the soldiers saw that the emperor had personally come over, they hurriedly knelt on the ground. Who would have known that Helian abruptly shouted.

"Get up! No need to kneel to anyone today, you are heroes today! Heaven and earth cannot bear your kneeling! " Helian actually said that. When the soldiers, including Blueheaven Violet Garden's group, heard the Emperor say that, they were actually moved from the bottom of their hearts. Immediately, morale was high and Helian was the one who attacked the heart.

"Today, you may be hot-blooded for a moment, but in the future, no one will forgive your hot-blooded impulses on the battlefield.

"You must maintain my hot-bloodedness today, bravely kill your enemies on the battlefield. For the sake of my Northern Desert, as well as the wife and children of your family, I, Helian, salute you heroes here!" Helian Lie first loudly shouted out everything he was thinking of before suddenly bowing. He was actually bowing like those people!

No one in the audience spoke a word, not even a single one. At this moment, the entire northern army arena was as silent as water, and not a single one of them made a move, including those ministers who were respectfully standing behind Helian. At this moment, no one said a word, because at this moment, no one dared to speak, even though they were afraid of disturbing the atmosphere.

At this moment, the soldiers all watched the emperor's actions as he went straight to the point. There were even tears in their eyes. To be able to act like the emperor in this life was truly something to brag about. And at this moment, when Helian saw that no one on the field said anything, the heroic spirit in his heart surged up as he shouted loudly.

"Men's tears, men's blood, ten thousand people can't fight against one man, once men kill, no matter how many soldiers there are, whoever is the hero, no man is the hero, on the battlefield, let's compete in terms of killing. This time, I am here for you men, I am here to fight for you in the Northern Yue State, I hope that you can be my men on the battlefield, remember this!" In the battlefield, you would rather die standing than live kneeling! " Helian Lie, who was standing behind them, raised his inner Qi and roared. All the soldiers were infected by his last sentence and shouted in unison. At this moment, the entire arena was in an uproar.
