Transmigration begins with archery training

"Retreat."

"..."

"Sir, obey the order!"

"Besides that, this old minister has another matter to report."

A military officer in scarlet robes stepped forward and reported, "Although we and the Sheng Dynasty have not engaged in large-scale warfare this time, small-scale skirmishes have been taking place day and night as we deploy troops to the border."

Both sides suffered losses.

"It is worth noting that Lu Ji of the Sheng Dynasty often slaughters our army to perform blood sacrifices to cultivate evil magic. This person is now almost a demon!"

"If possible, I hope Your Majesty can send a few immortal masters to find an opportunity to behead him, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future."

Lü Ji?

Gu Xinlan made a mental note of it, intending to tell her sister and Shi Ge'er later. She gave the female official beside her a wink.

The female official understood immediately, stepped out from behind the curtain, and conveyed the imperial edict to the officials on behalf of the emperor: "If there is nothing else to report, my esteemed ministers may now adjourn the court."

The meeting is over.

Gu Xinlan went straight to the Imperial Study, a worried look on her face.

Since the war between Dasheng and Xiqi began and the sky was filled with flying immortals, she hadn't seen her sister for a long time and wondered if something was about to happen.

She arrived outside the Imperial Study and heard people talking.

They were probably talking about something like "sect," "master," and "foundation-building pill," but Gu Xinlan didn't quite understand.

After a long time.

Then a handsome young cultivator walked out of the hall and flew away.

"Sister, come in."

Empress Daqing's cold voice rang out.

Gu Xinlan stepped into the hall.

A faint fragrance wafts through the air, and golden curtains hang in the air.

In the quiet and solemn environment, nearly three-year-old Chen Duhe was chasing and playing with a cub of a spirit beast.

This mythical beast has white fur all over its body and golden horns on its head. It looks somewhat like a dog, but when it runs, it exudes the majestic power of a lion. I wonder where it caught this rare creature.

"Sister."

Gu Xinlan spoke first: "Judging from what you were saying just now, are you leaving?"

Empress Daqing shifted her icy gaze from the cubs, one human and one beast, to the eldest princess, and softly asked, "Sister, would you like to come with me? I promise to take you across the river."

Gu Xinlan did not answer immediately.

The Empress already knew the answer.

"That's fine."

The Empress slowly rose and walked gracefully, her long black and gold dress trailing behind her: "Since you have someone you love, I will not force you. You can go back and pack your things. Tomorrow I will send you and Duhe back to Liangzhou in Dasheng."

Gu Xinlan's eyes flickered, and she quickly asked, "Sister, are you not planning to come back?"

"After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one is suppressed by the Great Dao and is unable to visit the Eastern Divine Continent."

The Empress explained, "However, if one day the ancestral veins are revived and the seal is broken, I will be able to travel freely. That day should not be too far away."

"Ok."

Gu Xinlan understood that her younger sister was determined to seek immortality and ask, "If my sister and I both leave, what will happen to Daqing? Will we leave it to the other members of the Shen clan?"

Like other dynasties.

They also have descendants of the royal family in various prefectures and cities of Daqing.

"How can those mediocre people govern Daqing well?"

The Empress's cold voice carried a hint of disdain: "After I leave, I will randomly select a member of the Shen clan to stabilize the court, and then the sect will serve as the national advisor to assist in governing the country."

"But don't worry."

“I have already explained to them that once the matter of the ancestral vein of Dongsheng Shenzhou is settled, Daqing will be the place for you and my sister to cross the river. Now that it is dangerous, it would be better for you not to stay here for the time being.”

"Leave it to..."

Gu Xinlan was somewhat puzzled: "Management by sect cultivators?"

"Ah."

The Empress looked towards the distant west and said calmly, "The world has already changed dramatically. Now, the four kingdoms of Dongsheng Divine Continent, apart from the old emperor of Shengchao, are nothing more than puppets of the sects of Tianshui Continent."

Gu Xinlan pondered, "So, the old emperor of the Sheng Dynasty was actually quite capable?"

"He has methods."

The Empress's tone hardened: "I'm afraid they'll use those methods on my elder sister's family."

……

Beijing!

Zhongjue Hall.

"Good news——"

In just over a month, tremendous changes have taken place in the area.

From daily reports of devastating losses to a continuous stream of victories.

"Okay!"

After more than a year of pent-up frustration, Prince Cao Huan of Jin finally released his pent-up anger and concluded: "Although our Great Sheng Dynasty suffered heavy losses in this western expedition, we managed to defend our territory and dealt a heavy blow to the Western Qi rebels!"

"Chen Sanshi..."

Minister of Revenue Tian Guang said, "Let us perform another great service."

mentioned here.

The atmosphere immediately became serious.

Minister of Personnel Yin Mingchun said earnestly, "I wonder how to best reward the White Robe this time?"

"The credit is too great..."

Tian Guang muttered, "The next step up is probably the Duke."

"Everyone!"

Minister of Works Yan Maoxing interrupted the crowd, saying, "Has everyone forgotten something? Starting from Langjuxu Mountain more than two years ago, Chen Sanshi has repeatedly disobeyed orders."

"Later, when Sun Xiangzong passed away, an imperial edict was issued to summon him to the capital, but he made excuses and made various excuses to delay.

"During this western expedition, he ignored the Ministry of War's orders and the gold medal. Admittedly, he had his own ideas, but at least he should have given some explanation, right?"

"Moreover, if this happens repeatedly, won't Chen Sanshi get used to it and, if this continues, completely ignore the imperial court's orders?"

"In this case, where is the dignity of the court? Where is His Majesty's divine authority?"

Disobeying orders.

This has been a taboo among officials in the imperial court since ancient times, and it is even more so for military generals.

No matter how great a person's achievements are.

All of this means that he...

Disobedient!

An unruly military general who commands troops is unacceptable, not just in the Great Sheng Dynasty, but in any dynasty throughout thousands of years of history.

"besides."

Minister of War Ming Qingfeng added: "The battle reports from the front clearly state that during the Battle of Wucheng, Chen Sanshi used magic when fighting against Zou Hu, who was above the Martial Saint level. It can be said that he is now also a Celestial Master, but Chen Sanshi has never mentioned this in his memorials to the court."

This is called deceiving superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates!

In recent years, the veil of immortals has been gradually lifted, and they are no longer so mysterious to everyone. Even if Chen Sanshi had a chance encounter or the cultivation method left by Sun Xiangzong, he should have taken the initiative to present it to the imperial court.

Such concealment strongly suggests that something is amiss!

Moreover, to put it more seriously, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Everyone."

Prince Cao Huan of Jin said, "After all, Chen Sanshi has made great contributions to the Great Sheng Dynasty. Even if he has handled some things poorly, it is not as exaggerated as you all say."

"In my opinion..."

"Why don't we transfer him to the capital first, and then discuss how to reward him?"

"Is he willing to come?"

Yan Maoxing said, "When Sun Xiangzong passed away last time, he made excuses and refused. If we forcibly conscript him this time, he is on the border and has a large army under his command."
