When Xu Hao's poem spread throughout the world, countless people were shocked.
Was it finally coming?
Emperor Huaiyang, who was the emperor of Dafeng, was so angry that his face turned ashen. In the Chaowen Hall, he cursed a few times, saying things like 'traitor'.
To Emperor Huaiyang, Xu Hao's poem was no different from a declaration of war.
Especially that line,'When autumn comes, on the 8th of September, I'll kill all the flowers when they bloom!'
After many people's interpretation, they all guessed that the northern army would launch an all-out attack on the entire Da Feng in September, the season when all things were desolate.
For a time, the entire Da Feng City began to panic.
After all, the battle results of the Northern Territory were too terrifying!
……
When countless people in Dafeng were shocked by Xu Hao's poem.
As the person involved, Xu Hao had already returned to the Northern Region's King You Liang's Mansion.
At this moment, he was in Hidden Dragon Court, where he was staying. He wanted to see why he dared to go to the Northern Territory this time!
It was also because of them that Xu Hao entered the Northern Territory without any obstacles. He did not even see the enemy.
The beautiful Daoist nun in a Taiji Daoist robe and a lotus flower crown, as well as two other women who surprised Xu Hao.
The beautiful Taoist nun was naturally the Temple Master of Spirit Treasure Temple. When Xu Hao left Youzhou, he had sent someone to Feather Mountain to make a promise and ask her to help him!
As for that promise, after he learned about the information of the Temple Master of Numinous Treasure, he believed that she would definitely help him after careful consideration.
The Abbey Dean is injured?"
Xu Hao was a little surprised as he looked at the beautiful Daoist nun in front of him and her pale face.
This was a great expert in the Land Immortal Realm. He was really curious about who could hurt her.
"Yi Qingwu was injured because she fought two bald donkeys from the west alone!”
The one who spoke on behalf of the Temple Master of Numinous Treasure Temple was a woman in a red embroidered dress.
She was the Soliciting Moon Palatial Lord of the Shifting Flower Palace!
Was the Temple Master of Numinous Treasure called Yi Qingwu? Xu Hao could not help but frown. Then, he looked apologetically at the Spiritual Treasure Temple Master."I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the bald donkeys from the west would actually make a move this time!”
In his previous imagination, the Land Deity that might make a move on Da Feng's side might be the Grand Tutor of Da Feng!
As everyone knew, Xu Hao did not have a demigod backing him. Did Emperor Huaiyang need to kill him? Why would he need to invite a few demigod?
On his side, the Temple Lord of Numinous Treasure was one of them. In addition, Xu Hao was confident that he could invite the Dean of the scholarly faction, Qin Liyan, to join him.
However, the Western Buddhist Sect's attack was beyond his expectations. Moreover, they were at the level of two land immortals.
"This time, you are really wandering at the edge of the cliff!”
" There's an old fart from the royal family of Dafeng, the Imperial Advisor from Shangqing Temple, an old ancestor from Xiaoyao Sacred Land, and two bald donkeys from the west…"
"If Yi Qingwu hadn't fought the two bald donkeys from the west alone and won, and if Qin Liyan hadn't sneakily attacked and seriously injured the ancestor of the Xiaoyao Sacred Land, you would have died!”
At this moment, Palace Lord Lian Xing of the Shifting Flower Palace saw Xu Hao frowning and couldn't help but mention the dangers of this battle.
Xu Hao immediately fell silent when he heard this.
He had indeed taken a risk this time!
"Don't take it to heart! Although your actions this time were a little hasty, the result was good!”
"No one in the world is omniscient and omnipotent. Even I didn't expect the Buddhist Sect and the Xiaoyao Sacred Land to attack, let alone you.”
Yi Qingwu shook her head and consoled Xu Hao when she saw that he seemed to be blaming himself.
Undoubtedly, they had underestimated Emperor Huaiyang's determination to kill Xu Hao!
"This is the last time!"
Xu Hao took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Ding!"
" Option 1: Attack Qingzhou and attack Dafeng. Reward: Land Immortal Comprehension Card!”
"Option 2: Continue to wait for an opportunity. Reward: ”
The system's voice sounded in his mind. Xu Hao was stunned for a moment before choosing 1!
After consuming the Great Cyclic Pellet, one could advance from Grade Two to Grade One!
Land Immortal Comprehension Card! It could allow Xu Hao to comprehend the various mysteries of the Land Immortal realm.
It was equivalent to saying that after using this Land Deity Comprehension Card and gaining enough insight into this realm, he would be able to break through from the First Stage to the Land Deity realm!
"What's wrong with you?"
Yi Qingwu frowned and asked softly when she saw Xu Hao in a daze.
Xu Hao shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"That's good. I'll go back and heal my injuries first!”
Yi Qingwu gently nodded and took out a jade talisman to pass to Xu Hao.""If anything happens, just crush it and I'll rush over!”
After Xu Hao took the jade talisman, Yi Qingwu did not stay any longer and left the place.
"Thank you for your help this time, Palace Masters! If he was not in a hurry to return, he would stay in the Imperial Residence for a period of time! I can also play the host."
After watching Yi Qingwu's figure disappear into the distance, Xu Hao turned to look at the two Palace Masters of the Shifting Flower Palace.
Palace Master Lian Xing shook her head and was about to decline,""It's fine if you stay in the Imperial Residence. There are still many things to do in the Palace…"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Soliciting Moon Palace Master interrupted,""Alright! It's a good time to see the scenery of the Northern Territory."
"Sister!" Princess Lian Xing was instantly displeased.
However, Yao Yue ignored her. Instead, she winked at Xu Hao and smiled.""Thank you for the arrangements, Prince!"
"Palace Master is too polite!"
Xu Hao smiled and nodded. He then turned around and personally went to arrange the rooms and other matters for the two Palace Masters of the Shifting Flower Palace.
"Sister, the ancestor said that once Xu Hao returns safely to the Northern Territory, he will let us return immediately.”
The reason why they had taken action this time was entirely because of the old ancestor of the Shifting Flower Palace.
"Well, since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste of this rare opportunity to leave the palace if we don't walk around outside?”
"Besides, if you and I stay in the Northern Territory for a while longer, we might be able to take Xu Hao as our disciple!”
In any case, Soliciting Moon Palace Master had made up her mind to stay in the Northern Territory for a while.
Lian Xing rubbed her forehead with a headache. Why was her sister so troublesome?
The Shifting Flower Palace was indeed very interested in Xu Hao's martial arts talent!
However, he did not have to stay here and wait for Xu Hao to agree to be his disciple, right?
"I heard that this is where Xu Hao grew up. Why don't we take a look?”
Yao Yue suddenly suggested.
What else could Lian Xing do? He could only follow Yao Yue with a dark face.
It had to be said that the King You Liang Residence was very large. They were only focused on admiring this luxurious residence and did not pay attention to the way they came. After walking for a while, they were shocked to discover a fact.
Which direction did they come from? Where should I go back to Xu Hao's Hidden Dragon Court?
There were all kinds of pavilions, pavilions, and rockery. It was very easy for people who had never been here to get lost.
"Why don't I fly up and take a look?"
Yao Yue whispered awkwardly.
In response, Lian Xing could only nod her head speechlessly.
Using one's spiritual sense to scan the area, one could instantly find the way. However, releasing one's spiritual sense randomly in someone else's residence was somewhat inappropriate.
It's all her fault. Why did she run around for no reason! Now, the Palace Master of the Shifting Flower Palace was actually lost in someone else's mansion…
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you chattering along the way, I wouldn't have forgotten the way.”
Soliciting Moon Palatial Lord smiled sheepishly. Just as she was about to fly into the sky, an old voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Ladies, is there anything I can help you with?”
Lian Xing and Yao Yue were stunned for a moment. They turned around and looked warily at the old man standing not far behind them with his slightly hunched back and white hair.
He had suddenly appeared behind the two of them, and they hadn't noticed him at all…
"Hehe, this old man is the chief steward of the wang fu. The two ladies don't have to be nervous!”
How could they not be nervous when he appeared behind them silently like a ghost?
Lian Xing narrowed her eyes and released her divine sense to check the cultivation of this self-proclaimed chief steward of the Imperial Residence.
"Second Stage Dao Integration Stage?"
Yao Yue frowned and exchanged glances with Lian Xing. They could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
No matter how they looked at it, the old man standing in front of them was of the Second Stage.
Although this cultivation base was not bad in Da Feng…However, he had appeared behind them without them noticing. A mere Rank Two did not seem to have the ability to do so!
To be honest, not to mention Rank-2, even the pinnacle of Rank-1 was like an ant in their eyes.
How could he be as elusive as this old man…
In the end, the two Palace Masters who couldn't see anything strange could only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts and tell the old man the fact that they couldn't find the Hidden Dragon Court.
"The Imperial Residence is quite big, comparable to a small city! It was indeed not easy for unfamiliar people to find their way in.”
The old man didn't find it strange. He chuckled and then brought them to the Hidden Dragon Court.
Although the old man claimed to be the chief steward of the Imperial Residence, Lian Xing and Yao Yue were still cautious and kept a distance of four to five feet from the old man.
If anything happened, this distance was enough for them to respond.
However, it was obvious that they were worrying too much.
Not long after, the old man brought them to the Hidden Dragon Court. After bringing them here, Uncle Chen left.
However, when Uncle Chen left, he suddenly turned around and said something with a meaningful look on his face, which stunned Lian Xing and Yao Yue.
"The two ladies 'clothes and temperament look extraordinary. If you have the heart, help the prince! Good people will be rewarded!"
These words sounded very baffling. Lian Xing and Yao Yue could not understand what the old man was trying to say.
Good people always get good rewards? Did he mean that if he helped Xu Hao more, he would be rewarded in the future?
While the two of them were pondering over the meaning behind it, Xu Hao returned. Lian Xinghe and Yao Yue thought about the matter regarding the old man but did not say anything.
Xu Hao didn't waste any time and directly brought the two extremely beautiful Palace Masters to the pavilion that had already been arranged!
Do I need to stay in a room in the Imperial Residence? No, all the guests who came would stay in the same building.
After arranging the two of them, Xu Hao left the Hidden Dragon Court and sent someone to pass on the order to gather all the higher-ups in the Northern Territory to discuss the attack on Qingzhou and even the matter of fully marching into Dafeng.
……
The Northern Region and Da Feng were like fire and water!
No matter what, only one of the two could exist!
Almost everyone in the Northern Territory supported Xu Hao wholeheartedly.
They all knew that the Northern Territory would attack Da Feng sooner or later!
When the prince returned to the Northern Territory from Da Feng, they knew that a great battle was about to break out.
Old generals like Wang Yuanlang were extremely excited!
They had been waiting for this day for a long time!
"Your Highness, when do you think we should attack? I'm willing to be the vanguard!"
Wang Yuanlang directly volunteered to be the vanguard of the Vanguard Battalion, even lowering his status!
"Haha, why are you in such a hurry? It's not your turn to be the vanguard!"
Zhou Kaiming laughed.
Previously, His Royal Highness had gone to Dafeng without telling them. They had been in a state of fear and could not eat or sleep well every day.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness had returned safely. Moreover, it seemed that the Northern Territory would counterattack against Dafeng.
If he could successfully replace Da Feng, he, Zhou Kaiming, might become a meritorious official of a dynasty and his name would definitely be recorded in history.
Therefore, Zhou Kaiming was extremely happy!
Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Xu Hao also laughed.
He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
When everyone stopped talking and looked at him, he stood up from his chair.
"How many new soldiers have been recruited during this period of time?”
"Prince, when the recruitment ended a month ago, there were a total of 200,000 new soldiers! If the 100,000 people from before were included, it would be 300,000 people.”
"With the training of General Yue, General Wu, and the others, these 300,000 people can already be used in battle.”
"How is the combat strength of the new army?"
"Although they can't be considered elite, they're at least a little stronger than the troops stationed in Dafeng!”
Hearing Zhou Kaiming's report, Xu Hao nodded in satisfaction.
The Northern Territory was a cold and bitter place. The people here were tough. After joining the army and receiving short training, they would have good combat strength.
300,000 new soldiers and 200,000 elites from the Northern Territory.
Now, not counting Yue Fei and the others, he already had 500,000 troops.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Hao immediately began to order,
"Wuqi, listen up. I order you to stay in the northern border and lead 120,000 elites, 200,000 new troops, and 50,000 Wei soldiers to guard the border in case the Qi Kingdom attacks. Any objections?"
"I accept your orders!" Wuqi cupped his fists and accepted the order without the slightest objection.
As a famous general summoned by the system, his loyalty to Xu Hao could be said to be at the maximum level.
There would be no complaints or objections.
If Xu Hao asked Wang Yuanlang to stay in the Northern Territory, he would probably refuse!
Staying in his hometown was not as exciting as going to Dafeng to conquer the country!
"Other than Wuqi, everyone go back and allocate troops. In ten days, we will attack Qingzhou first! Then, we'll drive straight in!"
Hearing Xu Hao's words, everyone's blood boiled.
Ten days later, the battle would start. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Wuqi led 370,000 troops to guard the northern border. Xu Hao could say that as long as the Qi Kingdom did not send out all their troops, the northern border would be impregnable.
In fact, in the beginning, Xu Hao wanted Yue Fei to stay in the Northern Territory.
However, he changed his mind because of the opportunity to summon a famous general in the Academy.
He had already used the opportunity to summon a famous general. In the history of China, that army was even stronger than the soldiers of Wei!
Therefore, Xu Hao decided to let the soldiers of Wei stay behind and use the newly summoned generals and their own troops as the main force to attack Da Feng!
The remaining 100,000 new soldiers, half of the elites of the Northern Territory, 8,000 Bei Wei Army, and 700 Breaking Ranks!
A total of 228,700 men! They were all supplementary.
