The next day, the army set off.

Before leaving, Emperor Yu summoned Lang Zi in Tianlu Hall.

Her complexion was pale, as if she was about to faint in the next moment, and her voice was even weaker. It was completely different from the domineering emperor in the past, which made Lang Zi very worried.

"Zi'er, keep this thing safe, it will protect you in times of crisis."

Emperor Yu handed over a small axe, no bigger than a palm, and it was full of brilliance, like a magic weapon.

Lang Zi didn't answer, he was about to leave, he couldn't guard Yuhuang, how could he ask for her protective treasure.Things in the world are always uncertain, who knows if she will be in danger in the next moment.

"This is left by your father, if you ask you to keep it." Yuhuang feigned anger, "Your uncle's demon-killing whip is still on your mother's body. No one can hurt it. Don't let me worry about your safety all the time."

Only then did Lang Zi accept it.

But he was still a little worried.

"Empress, are you really just Fenghan? Or, let Master Chu take a look?"

Yu Huang waved his hand impatiently, "It's like this when you get older, it will be fine in a few days, hurry up and clean up Chu Xiaoji for me."

When he walked out of the palace, Lang Zi was still turning his head every step of the way.

In an important military camp, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot bring his maids to the expedition.Qi Lan led Qiongmei and the others to bid farewell to their highness in the see-off team.

"Your Highness, you must come back safely!" Huaiju shouted hoarsely.

"Your Highness, I put all your favorite snacks in the bag, and the homework assigned by the Taifu is also in it, don't forget." Xiangzhu yelled, wiping away tears.

"Your Highness, let them look good!" Qiongmei waved her small fist.

Only Qi Lan was smiling, and she didn't say any unnecessary advice. She stuffed a veil on Lang Zi, and left a simple sentence: "May your highness return triumphantly as soon as possible."

The snowflakes fell, and Qi Lan's temples were covered with crystal and fine snow particles, against the light purple palace attire, it was really like a orchid blooming in the frost.

Lang Zi rode on the horse and followed the army all the way west, looking at the veil over and over again, but still didn't understand what Qi Lan meant.

The brocade handkerchief is woven with fretwork, and a delicate and charming peach blossom is embroidered in it. It is really beautiful, but it is unavoidable for men to use it.

Lang Zi reckoned that Qi Lan was probably afraid that he would suffer from typhoid fever from traveling in winter, so he prepared a veil for him to wipe his nose.

He scratched his head, silently put the Jinpa in the ring, and never took it out again.

Standing alongside Lang Zi is the Vice General Zhengxi this time.

The deputy general was originally a great general named Gu Qianxun, the nephew of the prime minister. He was young and vigorous, and he made outstanding achievements in many conquests against the bandits. It was difficult for him to take the deputy position because the crown prince acted on behalf of the emperor himself. pimple.

Gu Qianxun said: "Just now I saw that His Highness was greeted by many beauties when he left the city, and this subordinate was very impressed. His Highness was willing to part with the warm and fragrant nephrite in the imperial city, and went to Western Chu with us."

Lang Zi went through what he said twice in his head, but he still couldn't hear the sourness.

He has never heard less of such profound words in this world.

Lang Zi raised his eyebrows: "General Gu, what are you talking about? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, not to mention that I am the prince, and I want to find peace for thousands of people."

At the end, he curled his lips into a smile again, "I heard that the general is nearly thirty years old and still has no wives and concubines. If he returns victorious this time, may this hall be able to point out a good match for you?"

The implication is that you are still single at the age of 30, how can you have the courage to mock me.

Gu Qianxun blushed with embarrassment.

Yi'an is still thousands of miles away from Western Chu, and it will still take several days for the army to travel in the starry night.

The further west you go, the colder it gets.When they rushed to the vicinity of Shangling City in Western Chu, there was only a piece of white snow left in the world.

Lang Zi spent New Year's Eve in the camp, and the guards boiled a pot of wine for him and cut up half a catty of meat, which was considered an extra meal.Smelling the smell of meat, Lang Zi forcibly held back, asked his personal guards to divide it, and turned to continue discussing the war with Gu Qianxun.

"Although the king of Chu talked about the army, but the army has not left the fief, it seems to be ready to break the ground and rule." Gu Qianxun pointed to the sand table and said, "The size of the Western Chu fief is not as large as that of the original Western Chu, but there are also ten cities. They are all places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their soldiers are brave, and we will not be able to please us if we fight head-on."

Lang Zi knocked on the table subconsciously, and asked in thought: "Have you delivered the letter of persuasion?"

"Give it off, Chu Xiaoji didn't reply, but he detained the envoy to make a confession in the palace, most likely it was delaying."

There is nothing to delay, his soldiers are strong and his horses are strong, and his side is full of tired troops, Lang Zi can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head.

He asked himself that he was not made for war, rubbed his chin and asked Gu Qianxun: "Does General Gu have a clever plan?"

Gu Qianxun chuckled.

During these few days together, he also realized that Lang Zi was not someone with high-spirited eyes. Although it was not as exaggerated as the folk legend said, he respected himself and other generals very much, so his opinion of him changed greatly.

"The subordinates thought that maybe he wanted us to go to war first."

Gu Qianxun gave Lang Zi an analysis: "Western Chu originally voluntarily surrendered back then. His Majesty has treated the people generously these years, and even the nobles left behind by Western Chu have lived a richer life than before. Chu Xiaoji's rebellion is not justified. Shun, I'm afraid that there will be dissatisfaction in the army. It is easier to win battles by defending instead of attacking. If he wins, there will be less criticism. It is also a bit of a reason that he did not take the initiative to attack. If the subordinate guessed correctly, He is keeping his face on the surface now, but secretly, all the elites have been dispatched to Shangling City."

"His move is already out of cowardice, the art of war is the most important thing. The subordinates feel that we can use the plan and wait for work. If we can buy a few city guards at the end of the year, we may not be able to fight without blood. By the way, we have to build momentum, Your Majesty and His Highness are world-renowned for their benevolence, it would be even better if they could subdue some quasi-friars who are loyal to Chu Xiaoji."

He sighed: "It's a pity that the immortal master can't participate in the battle, otherwise he would go straight to the Western Chu Palace to capture Chu Xiaoji, why bother."

Lang Zi's eyes lit up.

Who said that the immortal master can't participate in the battle, isn't he standing here?

And I don't know why, that day in the Star Observation Hall, Qin Yuan, who was much higher than him, didn't see that he had a cultivation base, and thinking about it, even the other monks wouldn't be able to see it.

Lang Zi thought about it, but it was inconvenient to tell Gu Qianxun clearly, so he just nodded, "Do as you say."

"Your Highness, do you have any other comments?"

Lang Zi shrugged, "You clearly know that I'm just a decoration, why bother breaking it?"

"Hahaha, I appreciate His Highness's straightforwardness the most."

Lang Zi came towards his calf, but Gu Qianxun dodged it with a smile.

When he was gone, Lang Zi immediately called the guards away and secretly rummaged through the storage bag.

System: "Host, what are you doing?"

Lang Zi: "Didn't you see, I'm going to sneak into the palace to arrest people. By the way, it's not cheating if I catch Chu Xiaoji, right? You don't have a rule that you can't use spells."

System: "The main task of the seventh ring only requires the host to terminate the Western Chu rebellion, and does not limit the means."

Lang Zi nodded.

He remembered something, and said again: "You haven't given me the reward for completing the task of governing the government last time. Do you want to take it for yourself? 100 cultivation bases can be directly sent to the Yufu. I have absorbed it for a few days, and I will take it as compensation."

He thought, with this 100 points of cultivation, he should reach the middle stage of Taoism.

System: "Isn't this because I forgot to go through the formalities for becoming a full-time employee? Please, please, anyway, the system is in a good mood recently."

System: "Ah, yes, this system can now check character attributes! Didn't you want to check the national teacher last time, do you still want to check?"

Lang Zi paused.

"No need," he said.

The national teacher swore an oath for him, quietly followed and protected him at the ceremony, and even worshiped him as a teacher to teach him how to cultivate.If that person's actions are all hypocritical cover-ups, he can accept and doubt him at the same time with peace of mind.

However, the national teacher came from the heart.

Lang Zi was a little annoyed, this person was clearly set up as a villain, how did he make himself look like a scumbag.

He doesn't want to mention the national teacher at all now.

Anyway, after he packed up Chu Xiaoji, he would be able to return to the capital. In just a few days, he wrote a letter to Master Chu asking him to take care of him before leaving, and Yuhuang would definitely not be in danger.

He was thinking about something, and he put on his night clothes backwards, but he didn't notice.

The system hesitated: "...Host, you don't seem to know how to control a sword, right? This place is hundreds of miles away from Anshun City."

Lang Zi sneered.

Stupid system, you don't know anything about sword cultivators!

This allows you to open your eyes and see what the unity of human and sword is.

With a thought in his mind, Luohui sword rushed out from the dantian, let out a happy chirp, and landed at his feet by itself.

Lang Zi was extremely proud, and stood up with the sword.

Then he knocked his forehead directly on the beam of the tent, and fell back to the ground with a snap.

System: emmm...

The host is also acting stupid today.

The author has something to say:

The daily head-butting of a swordsman.

PS: Spoiler ahead, Qi Lan is an assist.

Little angels.
