Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 278: General of the Western Expedition

Half a month passed in boring waiting.

Today at court, the messenger finally brought back news.

Both Southern Liang and Western Chu agreed to the plan to divide the Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, who should be sent to lead the troops to capture the two states of the Zhou Kingdom became an issue again.

Although Yan Bei had made great military achievements in the past, he is now the crown prince.

His Majesty the King was still haunted by the death of the former Crown Prince in battle and was unwilling to send him.

This is not an ordinary battle for land, but a war to annihilate a country.

Who knows if the immortal sects within the country will take action when the country is on the verge of death?

Although the immortals in the world basically do not care about national affairs in normal times, it does not mean that they do not have certain tendencies.

If some immortals do not want to see the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty and rise up in resistance, the leading leader of the Dongyan army is likely to become the primary target of assassination.

The civil and military officials debated for a long time in the court.

In short, Crown Prince Yan Bei could no longer lead troops to war.

The king then asked everyone for their opinion on who to send.

But among so many military generals in the court, not a single one was willing to go there on his own initiative.

Everyone wanted the land of the Zhou Dynasty, but was afraid of being killed.

His Majesty the King asked around, but no one was willing to go.

He looked at Minister Jia and said, "No one wants to go. I can't lead the army myself, can I?"

Minister Jia saluted hastily and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. I am old and my health and energy are failing. Otherwise, I would be the first to sign up."

The king shook his head: "Why are you saying those nice words? Choose someone quickly."

Minister Jia turned and looked at Lu Xunhuan in the crowd.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lu once followed the Crown Prince in his campaigns and made many contributions."

"He is young, talented, and a cultivator. I believe there is no one more suitable than him."

When everyone heard this, they all knew that Minister Jia was throwing this hot potato to the great writer.

His Majesty the King looked at Lu Xunhuan, then turned to Yan Bei who was standing beside him and asked, "Yan Bei, what do you think?"

Yan Bei bowed and said, "Father, Lu Chenglong is indeed a talented general, and he has a good relationship with the Taiqing Sect. I think he can be sent."

His Majesty the King nodded: "Lu Chenglong."

Lu Xunhuan stepped out and saluted: "Your Majesty."

His Majesty the King said, "You can go and destroy the battle of Zhou Zhou. It's not difficult. It's just the two eastern states of Zhou Zhou. You have a good relationship with the Taiqing Sect. Go and ask two masters to protect you. It will be safe."

Lu Xun Huan bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am currently protecting the palace."

It sounded like he didn't want to go either.

In fact, he really wanted to go.

It was he who proposed the plan to destroy Zhou Shang, and it was also he who proposed that Dong Yan divide the two eastern states of Zhou Shang.

Last week, one of the two states in the eastern part of the country was Kyoto State.

If you want to destroy Zhou Shang, Kyoto City must be captured.

Not only is Kyoto the richest city, but it can also plunder a large amount of wealth.

He mainly wanted to go to Kyoto City to find something.

He used to live in the last week and stayed in Zhongzhou for a long time.

But he only stayed in Kyoto for a few hours in total, and he didn't have the chance to go deeper into this huge city.

Does Kyoto City have what he wants? Regardless of whether it does or not, he must take control of Kyoto City and turn it upside down.

In addition, in the case of the murder of the female ghost master, the murderer has not been brought to justice so far.

He wants to capture the Sixth Prince, find out all the real culprits who murdered the female ghost master, and avenge her.

Also, according to the female ghost master, the peach blossom fan was originally in the palace and should be where the female ghost master lived when she was alive.

So how did the soul of the female ghost master enter the Peach Blossom Fan?

How did the Peach Blossom Fan get to Dengtianmen, thousands of miles away?

He wanted to find out too.

In addition, he also wants to avenge Wei Ying who died unjustly.

His Majesty the King was somewhat displeased when he heard that he seemed unwilling to go.

"Lu Chenglong, do you not want to go, or do you want to ask me for conditions?"

Lu Xun Huan bowed his head and said, "I dare not. I am only concerned for your Majesty's safety."

His Majesty the King scoffed: "Why should I be unsafe? Just like that, you go."

He took out a tiger talisman: "Lu Chenglong, obey my orders."

Lu Xun Huan walked out of the queue, came to the throne of His Majesty the King, half-knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty, please announce the decree."

His Majesty the King said, "I hereby appoint Lu Xunhuan as the General of the Western Expedition, a first-rank official, to lead an army of 300,000 to conquer the Zhou Kingdom. He must capture the two states and then receive the Tiger Tally."

He handed the tiger talisman to Yan Bei and said, "Give it to him."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and took the tiger talisman from Yan Bei: "Lu Chenglong will do his best to complete the task assigned by His Majesty."

Yan Bei patted his shoulder and said, "Before you go to the Taiqing Sect, ask a few masters to follow you."

Lu Xun Huan pondered and said, "The last time I went with them to the Nine-Story Demon Tower, Elder Fu died due to my mistake. I have always felt guilty about this, so I will not bother them. I believe I can handle it myself."

He said he could handle it, so he must have been telling the truth.

With his current defensive capabilities, it would not be easy for any immortal master in the world to kill him.

But everyone thought it was too risky for him not to hire an expert to protect him.

All the ministers advised him to invite two masters to protect him.

Everyone is usually hypocritical, but at this time, they are all genuinely doing it for his own good.

Everyone in Dong Yan wanted to seize the land of the Zhou Dynasty, but they were unwilling to take the risk themselves.

Now that Lu Xunhuan is going on their behalf, they naturally hope to successfully seize the two states and plunder wealth for Dongyan.

Naturally, no one wants the head coach to be assassinated or anything goes wrong midway.

His Majesty the King listened for a while and didn't want to listen anymore.

He stood up and said, "Lu Chenglong, I'll assign two masters from the palace to you. That's it."

Upon hearing this, the ministers hurriedly tried to stop him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

His Majesty the King turned around and said: "I have experts by my side, why are you all crying so sadly?"

"Lu Chenglong, I will give you three days to prepare. After three days, march westward."

He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left: "Dismiss the court."

There are three masters in the palace.

One is specifically responsible for the safety of His Majesty the King.

The other two are responsible for the safety of the entire palace.

His Majesty the King said that he would assign two masters in the palace to Lu Xunhuan, the two who were responsible for the security of the palace.

Even if these two people were sent out, he still had a master guarding him.

The safety of the palace seemed unimportant at this moment. What he wanted was that Lu Xunhuan would not encounter any problems and that he could successfully obtain the two states.

Lu Xun Huan bowed to his back and said, "I obey your command."

After His Majesty the King left, Crown Prince Yan Bei patted Lu Xun Huan and said, "Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I just need the food and other battle supplies to be delivered in time."

Yan Bei nodded. "Okay, I will personally supervise the provision of food and other supplies. If you have anything else that's been delayed, please tell me and I can help you."

Lu Xun Huan said, "For some planned things, we should take them one step at a time. For example, I've made little progress in cultivating immortals recently, but as long as I keep working hard, I'll eventually make a breakthrough. I have patience."

Yan Bei nodded again: "Okay, then I wish you a triumphant return."
