The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"My lord, are you really going?"

When Ji Bingyan heard Jia Daoshi say this, she was first stunned, and then a warm feeling rose in her heart.

As Jia Daoshi's wife, she knew what kind of person Jia Daoshi was.

He enjoys a carefree and leisurely life, preferring to stay still as much as possible, and he is rarely seen practicing martial arts.

Moreover, when I'm with them at night, I mostly just lie still.

Simply put, Jia Daoshi was very easygoing and preferred to be a hands-off manager, disliking any mental or physical exertion.

But now, in order to secure her throne and to share the burden of the emperor, Jia Daoshi is actually willing to personally lead an expedition to deal with the allied forces of the Eight Western Kingdoms and the Yuezhi, numbering nearly 500,000!

The western border is not like the cliff city, which has natural defenses to protect it!

So this is definitely a very troublesome thing.

"Of course!" Jia Daoshi nodded. "These barbarians from foreign lands dare to bully my wife at this time. How can I, as her husband, swallow this insult!"

"My love, I love you to death!"

"Oh? Is love just something you say?" Jia Daoshi said something that made Ji Bingyan blush.

This is so annoying, why does it always happen like this? Song Zhaoruo hasn't even left yet!

Having spent a long time in the imperial court, Song Zhaoruo was quite experienced and could understand the couple's conversation. He immediately took his leave, knowing that what happened next was their private matter.

"My lord, do whatever you wish." Ji Bingyan nestled in Jia Daoshi's arms.

"Smack!" Jia Daoshi kissed Ji Bingyan on the cheek, then laughed and said, "No rush, my lord, let me go and make some preparations first."

This manor is very large, much larger than the city lord's mansion in Cliff City, with mountains, water and lakes inside.

Next to a lake was a huge mechanical beast workshop built by Jia Daoshi and Weng Changting.

At this moment, inside the workshop, there were several enormous mechanical beasts.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven mechanical beast, the Giant Tiger mechanical beast, and the Black Snake mechanical beast, which made great contributions in the Battle of Cliff City, are all being modified and upgraded in this workshop.

Of course, thanks to Weng Changting's dedication as a mechanical enthusiast, he has developed many new mechanical beasts!

For example, mechanical wolf, mechanical bear, mechanical rooster...

These mechanical beasts look very tall and mighty. Just standing in front of them, you can feel an extremely strong killing intent!

Moreover, Weng Changting was standing by the lake at that moment, holding the Vacheron Constantin watch that Jia Daoshi had given her, and was keeping time.

Weng Changting was fascinated by Jia Daoshi's watch.

"I have never seen such an amazing mechanism; it is simply a masterpiece!"

These were the words Weng Changting said the first time he met Jiang Shidan. At that moment, Weng Changting's eyes were shining!

Later, because Weng Changting needed to train the pilots of the mechanical beasts, Jia Daoshi gave her the Vacheron Constantin directly.

As a qualified mechanical beast pilot, you must max out the Agility talent point, so many tasks must be completed within the specified time!

At this time, a watch becomes very important!

When Jia Daoshi arrived, Weng Changting was standing by the lake, watching a group of young men practice swimming!

These kids are the pilots of the mechanical beasts that will soon be making their appearance; they're also known here as the mechanical beast piloting masters!

They themselves do not need to engage in direct combat, but they must be able to control mechanical beasts to perform various difficult maneuvers.

Although there are only sixteen mechanical beasts now, if these sixteen mechanical beasts were to attack together, their destructive power would be enough to instantly level a small hill several hundred meters high!

Back then, these operators were still novice drivers!

After specialized training, teamwork will improve, especially on the battlefield, where performance will be exceptional.

Take the Monkey King for example. He is invulnerable to swords and spears. If he were to wield his specially made golden cudgel and unleash his power to sweep away thousands of enemies, wouldn't he kill them all in a few rounds?

And that mechanical snake, which is 66.6 meters long, hardly has to do anything; it just needs to keep rolling around on the battlefield.

After all, artillery fire is unlikely to be as effective in plains warfare as it was in Cliff City.

This is where the mechanical beast squad comes in handy!

When Jia Daoshi first conceived of this mechanical beast squad, he intended to use it for rebellion against the imperial army.

After all, the imperial court had sent guerrilla fighters to attack his manor.

However, Empress Wuxin was very sensible. She not only sent Princess Taiping to appease his anger, but also later directly offered him the entire Great Jing Dynasty.

In this way, he can only direct his attacks outwards.

"Changting, how are the brothers' preparations going?" Jia Daoshi walked up to Weng Changting and asked with a smile.

“They are all excellent. Those who have persevered through my grueling training are the elite of the elite. They are ready to go to the battlefield.”

"very good!"

These team members were all young and strong men selected from the vicinity of Jiajiazhuang. They went through layers of selection and most of them were fellow villagers who had grown up together since childhood. Such soldiers were usually very compatible and had no problem cooperating with each other. Moreover, they were all related by blood or marriage, so they were very reliable.

They followed Jia Daoshi originally with the intention of making a name for themselves, but they didn't live to see the Battle of Juebi City.

So everyone felt a little disappointed!

Upon hearing that they could go to war again, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this time, the western front of Dajing was in imminent danger. Although Shen Li was leading her troops to confront the enemy, the disparity in numbers was too great, and the pressure was immense.

In order to support his wife, Jia Daoshi prepared to lead his army on a march!

At the gates of the capital, Ji Bingyan personally prepared three sacrificial animals to offer as a sacrifice to the army's flag!

In addition to the troops led by Jia Daoshi, the imperial court also assembled a western expeditionary army!

However, the main task of these western expeditionary armies was to deter the local areas along the way and prevent those ambitious individuals from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble with their cavalry.

Jia Daoshi's main force consisted of those sixteen mechanical behemoths!

"Don't worry, my love, I'll be back soon!"

Jia Daoshi left a message for the group of women, then climbed onto the three-zhang-tall white ape.

Unlike the warhorses of ordinary soldiers, Jia Daoshi's mount was very impressive—a large white ape dressed in full armor!

After learning that Jia Daoshi was going to war, the Great White Ape found Jia Daoshi, clung to his leg, and insisted on going with him!

During this period, with Jia Daoshi feeding it rare and precious materials, the great white ape's internal power became exceptionally strong!

With the power of his bloodline coursing through his body and nowhere to release his energy, he insisted on going with Jia Daoshi after hearing that Jia Daoshi was going to the battlefield, so as to expend his pent-up energy!
