Yan Chong's voice echoed in the court, and all the officials fell silent.
Because Yan Chong's words did not make sense.
The Northern Mang Empire was a huge empire, and its national strength was a notch higher than that of the Great Qian Empire.
Gu Qingge was able to lead his army north because the Northern Mang Southern Territory had lost 300,000 soldiers, including the elite 50,000 Heavenly Wolf Army.
That was why they were able to go all the way north.
However, once they entered the Northern Mang Empire, the battle line would be stretched too long, and Great Gan's supplies and reinforcements would not be able to keep up. The 300,000 strong army of Great Gan would be surrounded by the entire Northern Mang Empire, and it would be difficult for them to survive.
However, Gu Qingge had just won a battle. Instead of rewarding him, he was to be punished. Wasn't that too much?
For a moment, all the officials looked at each other and whispered to each other.
On the dragon throne, Gu Tianqi also had a thoughtful look. After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily and said,"Minister Yan is right. Gu Qingge has finally managed to tear a hole in the southern border of the Northern Mang. He should indeed be handled with caution.”
"How about this, how many soldiers are there in the Northern Territory that can be mobilized? All of them should be transferred over to help Gu Qingge. Since the gap has been torn open, then we should completely tear it open!”
Having said that, Gu Tianqi's mood was also extremely comfortable as he smiled again.
What Yan Chong said was a problem, but it was also not a problem.
The Northern Mang was a dynasty, but the Great Gan was not?
Afraid of being surrounded?
Then send more troops!
As long as they could defend the entrance to the Northern Mang's southern border, the 300,000 strong army led by Gu Qingge would be able to attack or defend!
The Great Gan army would be waiting for them at any time.
Negotiate with Northern Mang?
Doesn't exist!
If they wanted to negotiate, it should be the Northern Mang who wanted to negotiate with them!
As for punishing Gu Qingge, that was even less likely.
Gu Qingge was his precious daughter. She had made such a great contribution this time, and Gu Tianqi could not wait to reward her. How could he bear to punish her?
"This subject obeys the decree!"
The Minister of War immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
However, Yan Chong was dumbfounded.
What the hell!
I'm asking you to recall Gu Qingge!
I'm not asking you to send troops to support me!
He was a true supporter of the Third Prince, and Gu Qingge and the Crown Prince were siblings from the same mother.
This time, Gu Qingge had made such a contribution.
If Gu Qingge's influence in the court was allowed to expand, it would definitely be detrimental to the Third Prince.
That was why he had taken the opportunity to suppress Gu Qingge.
In the end, he did not expect Gu Tianqi to not even listen!
He even strongly supported Gu Qingge!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Since the Emperor had already made his decision, the civil and military officials could not say anything more and immediately bowed respectfully.
Gu Tianqi was already overjoyed.
A crown prince and a princess were both dragons and phoenixes among men.
He had a successor!
....
On the other side, Gu Changsheng was not in a hurry to return to Taiqian City after leaving the Northern Territory. Instead, he went to another place.
Wudi City.
Wudi City was a special city that did not belong to any dynasty. However, no dynasty dared to touch Wudi City.
This was because there was the strongest person in the world in Wudi City, Chen Xianzhi.
As a land deity, Chen Xianzhi had been guarding Wudi City for thousands of years. All the empires and top sacred lands had to be respectful when they came to Wudi City.
Chen Xianzhi was an indifferent person who was not bound by the mortal world, but he was known as the inner demon of all cultivators. No matter what kind of favored son of heaven or the top land immortals, they could only blush in front of Chen Xianzhi.
For thousands of years, countless geniuses and mighty figures had been defeated by Chen Xianzhi.
However, Chen Xianzhi had always claimed to be second in the world.
This was not because Chen Xianzhi looked down on the world, but because Lu Tiangang, the land sword immortal, had appeared hundreds of years ago.
Both of them were the strongest experts in the world and had once fought.
However, no one in the world knew the outcome of that battle.
The world only knew that after that battle, Chen Xianzhi had always claimed to be the second strongest in the world.
Even when Lu Tiangang went missing 300 years ago, Chen Xianzhi had never claimed first place.
Gu Changsheng leaped down and landed on the top of the city wall.
There were two praying mats and a low-legged wooden table on the top of Wudi City.
An old man sat cross-legged on one of the futons.
The old man was dressed in a white robe. His hair was white and his long white beard fluttered like long hair. However, his eyes were full of vigor. With a glance, it was as if he could see through the entire heart of others.
This person was the strongest expert in the world, Chen Xianzhi!
"Who are you?"
The moment Gu Changsheng landed on the top of Wudi City, two guards stopped him.
However, before the two guards could even touch Gu Changsheng, Gu Changsheng disappeared and reappeared right in front of Chen Xianzhi, causing the two guards 'expressions to change drastically.
"Old Man Chen, you've only had these two futons and a low-legged table every day for hundreds of years, but I haven't seen many people come to visit you.”
Gu Changsheng sat on another futon casually as if he was meeting an old friend.
"Everyone who comes and goes is a guest. It's not wrong to prepare early.”
However, Chen Xianzhi smiled. Her voice was soft but clear and powerful. She waved at the guards and the two guards retreated.
However, the two guards seemed to be dissatisfied with Gu Changsheng.
Wudi City was far beyond the imperial court and the other major forces. The people in front of him were the strongest experts in the world. Many top experts in the world, including the Land Immortals, had to be respectful when they came to Wudi City.
Unlike this young man in front of him, he was so natural and unrestrained!
Then, Chen Xianzhi looked at Gu Changsheng and continued,""What, have you thought it through? Are you planning to take me as your master?"
Ten years ago, when Gu Changsheng was only six years old, Chen Xianzhi came out of the mountains and went to the Great Qian Dynasty to take Gu Changsheng as his disciple.
In this world, there weren't many people who could catch Chen Xianzhi's eye, let alone make him want to take them in as disciples.
In the end, Gu Changsheng, who was only six years old, choked Chen Xianzhi with one sentence.
"Have you ever defeated a land sword immortal?"
There were more than a dozen land immortals in the world, but there was only one land sword immortal.
Chen Xianzhi shook his head.
"I will only acknowledge someone stronger than a land sword immortal.”
That was what Gu Changsheng had said back then. Chen Xianzhi rarely left the mountain to take in disciples, but he was also defeated by a six-year-old kid and had to return to Wudi City.
However, from that moment on, Chen Xianzhi began to pay attention to Gu Changsheng.
Even though he was young, Chen Xianzhi knew that he was not a simple person!
"Hiss, this young man actually rejected Chen Zun's offer to take him as a disciple!”
However, Chen Xianzhi's words caused the two guards to gasp in shock.
The man with eyes in front of him had actually made Chen Xianzhi want to take him in as a disciple!
For many years, countless geniuses had yearned to become Chen Xianzhi's disciple!
However, Chen Xianzhi had never taken any disciples!
The young man in front of him had actually rejected Chen Xianzhi's offer!
How ungrateful!
Gu Changsheng shook his head and said casually,""I still have the same words from back then. Only those who are stronger than the land sword immortals will be my disciples.”
Hearing this, Chen Xianzhi had already expected it and didn't mind. However, she still asked,"Then why are you here?"
Gu Changsheng took out the wine gourd and slammed it on the table.
"Let's drink!"
