Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 271 Huang Feihu Regrets
Seeing Emperor Xin's confidence, Jade Ding Zhenren spoke again, "Your Majesty, you are about to lead the army in person. I wonder who you should choose as your generals?"

"Also, since the king is leading the army in person and not at court, who will be responsible for all matters at court, big or small?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin frowned. After a moment's thought, he spoke, "The important affairs of the court will be fully responsible to the old Prime Minister Shang Rong, the old Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, the King of Wucheng Huang Feihu, and the Emperor's uncle Bigan."

"If there is any disagreement, the advice of the old Grand Tutor Wen Zhong will prevail. The old Grand Tutor has the right to execute first and report later, and can make the decision on my behalf."

Emperor Xin's arrangement was approved by all the civil and military officials in the court. Even Jade Ding Zhenren nodded in agreement.

After all, the fact that Emperor Xin dared to delegate power to Wen Zhong showed that he was a decisive person, not the kind of indecisive king.

However, Emperor Xin was in a dilemma as to who to choose as the general.

After all, apart from the generals in the Jiujian Palace, he really didn't know what abilities the generals at other passes had.

However, Emperor Xin knew one thing, that is, these generals in the court were no match for the generals stationed at the passes in terms of real ability.

So naturally, he couldn't take them with him to the battle, and he had to select men from the generals of each pass. But Emperor Xin was a little undecided about who to choose.

In desperation, he could only look at Huang Feihu for help. After all, Huang Feihu was the King of Wucheng, the top military commander in the world.

Huang Feihu naturally couldn't let Emperor Xin lose face, so he spoke immediately.

"Your Majesty, to suppress the rebellion of Yuan Futong in Beihai, you may summon Zhang Kui and his wife from Mianchi County, Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou, and General Zheng Lun."

"In addition, there is Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, and his wife, Princess Yin Shiniang."

"With these generals as commanders, Your Majesty only needs to lead a hundred thousand troops, and you will be able to return victorious in a few months."

After hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded without hesitation and said, "Then let's do as King Wucheng said. Let all the generals lead their troops and follow me to the North Sea."

Afterwards, Emperor Xin did not forget to order a banquet to be held in Longde Hall to entertain Jade Ding Zhenren. He also invited all the civil and military officials in the court to join him, which really gave Jade Ding Zhenren enough face.

After the banquet, Jade Ding Zhenren was invited back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion by Wen Zhong. Accompanying him were Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, and several other important officials in the court.

When they arrived at Wen Zhong's Grand Tutor's Mansion, Wen Zhong first ordered people to prepare tea, and then sent everyone away.

Finally, he set up a barrier in his study to prevent others from hearing what they said today.

After everything was done, Wen Zhong finally spoke to Master Yu Ding, "Uncle Yu Ding, why did the king lead the army in person?"

"Although the king has the strength to support the beams and replace the pillars, and to pull the nine oxen backward, he is only a mortal after all. How can he deal with the great demon of the demon cult?"

Jade Ding Zhenren smiled and said, "After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the leader of the human race was restricted by the laws of heaven and could no longer follow the path of cultivation."

"But have you ever found any leader of the human race since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who possessed the military might of our contemporary leader, Emperor Xin?"

After a moment of contemplation, everyone shook their heads at Jade Ding Zhenren. This was because they truly couldn't find any human king whose martial arts skills were higher than Emperor Xin's.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Jade Ding Zhenren finally spoke: "Because Emperor Xin is about to break the restriction that the leader of the human race cannot practice cultivation."

As soon as Jade Ding Zhenren said this, everyone present couldn't help but be ecstatic. They knew what it meant if Emperor Xin could cultivate. But just as everyone was incredibly happy, Jade Ding Zhenren poured cold water on them. He sighed and said.

"Although Emperor Xin was able to embark on the path of cultivation, he was too conceited. He even reached the point of looking down on everyone."

"If he can't face up to his own abilities, even if he embarks on the path of cultivation, he will definitely not go very far."

"That's why Uncle Fuxi decided to have Emperor Xin personally lead the troops to attack the North Sea. His goal was to make him suffer setbacks in the North Sea so that he would face himself."

Huang Feihu couldn't help but feel a little regretful after learning Fuxi's true intention. He immediately said, "If I had known the Emperor's intention, I would never have recommended those generals to the King."

"Because with the abilities of those generals, I'm afraid Yuan Futong may not be able to defend Beihai."

Even Wen Zhong nodded and said, "Uncle Yuding, you may not know that Zhang Kui and his wife from Mianchi County are disciples of the Human Cult."

"Zhang Kui is proficient in the art of walking on the ground, and can travel 1,500 miles a day. His mount, the one-horned black smoke beast, is an ancient and exotic beast."

"Zhang Kui's wife, Gao Lanying, is skilled in wielding the Sun God Needle and the Sun and Moon Swords. The Sun God Needle's dazzling brilliance makes it difficult for the enemy to open their eyes."

"Jizhou Marquis Su Hu isn't anything special. But his sworn brother, Zheng Lun, once became a disciple of Master Du'e of the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave on Jiuding Tiecha Mountain."

"He was born with the magical power of awakening Qi. He only needs to hum loudly in front of the two armies to make the enemy's mind unstable. The three thousand crow soldiers behind him are also the Taoist puppet soldiers of the Xuanmen Sect."

"As for General Li Jing of Chentang Pass and Princess Yin Shiniang's two uncles, even if Wen Zhong didn't tell them, Uncle Yu Ding should know."

"With this lineup, even if Yuan Futong is a Golden Immortal, he probably won't stand a chance of winning against the North Sea."

Huang Feihu nodded and said, "Fortunately, I did not recommend Zhang Guifang and the four generals of the Mo family to the king. Otherwise, there would be no suspense."

At this moment, everyone present felt that Fuxi's plan might not succeed. After all, the generals that Emperor Xin brought with him were too powerful.

Little did he know that Jade Ding Zhenren smiled calmly and said, "Wen Zhong, as a disciple of the Taoist sect, do you know the five great guardians of our sect?"

Wen Zhong nodded after hearing this, "I've heard of this before. My sect has five great guardians, they are Junior Brother Yang Jian and the four clones of the Chaos Demon Ape."

"However, we have only found the Red-butted Horse Monkey Wuzhiqi and the Long-armed Ape Yuanhong. As for the Six-eared Macaque, we still haven't found it, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey has not yet been born."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded. "Then what do you think the chances of these people recommended by King Wucheng winning against Wuzhiqi, Yuan Hong, or Yang Jian?"

Wen Zhong shook his head without hesitation, "Even if the six of us joined forces, we couldn't possibly be a match for one of the Daoist guardians."

This is not Wen Zhong bragging about Yang Jian and the other two, but the cultivation of Yang Jian and the other two has now reached the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

The mere suppression of strength was already a chasm they could not overcome. Moreover, the Daoist guardians were born for battle.

His physical strength is comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch, so how could he be defeated by Zhang Kui and others?

After hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Then I wonder if you know the true identity of Yuan Futong from the North Sea?"
