Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Tomorrow at court, you should propose that we send troops to attack Zheng Le's beacon fire army."

As soon as Zheng Qian finished speaking, Zhang Xinghai jumped up and shouted.

"Are you crazy? Our army is already at a disadvantage, and you still suggest annihilating the Beacon Fire Army? Wouldn't that mean destroying our only remaining force?"

Lu Jin looked at Zheng Qian as if he were an idiot. You want to kill me, the fourth prince?

Zheng Qian looked at the two of them as if they were idiots and said loudly, "Are you two really stupid or what? Right now, there are only two armies that can be dispatched: Marshal Zhang's 100,000 Po Yue Dragon Cavalry and the 50,000 Xuan Hu Army. The Xuan Hu Army's commander, Li Po, is His Highness's confidant. He will definitely send Li Po to fight my father. As for you, Fourth Prince, you recommended me to be the deputy commander. Then I can seize military power and turn the tables on Yan City. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

Lu Jin and Zhang Xinghai were speechless. They felt that Zheng Qian was dreaming and that military power was something he could just dodge.

"What, you two don't believe me?" Zheng Qian saw through Lü Jin and Zhang Xinghai's meaning and thought he was bragging.

Lu Jin coughed and slowly said, "Zheng Qian, Li Po is the head of the Li family of Xicheng, one of the five major families in Yancheng, and a staunch supporter of my elder brother. However, his Xuanhu Army cannot be mobilized without the Emperor's military seal, let alone be given military power to you. Don't even think about it."

“Yes, don’t even think about messing with the Li family. It would be best if they didn’t send troops to help the Crown Prince when a fight breaks out.” Zhang Xinghai echoed Lü Jin’s words, thinking that Zheng Qian was dreaming.

"Give me the position of deputy commander, and you don't need to worry about anything else. Are you in?"

The two remained silent. Zheng Qian's idea was too crazy. The Xuanhu Army was a heavy cavalry force, while the north was all flat land. Zheng Le's Fenghuo Army consisted of infantry and light cavalry. Facing the Xuanhu Army would be suicide.

Zheng Qian didn't waste any words and said directly, "If you don't dare to play, then forget it. I'll just wander the world with my sword and live a carefree life. Your life-and-death struggles are none of my business."

Zhang Xinghai, unusually serious, tentatively asked, "Father, are you telling the truth?"

"Failure to evade military power could cost me my life. Do you think I'm joking with you?" Zheng Qian wasn't helping the Fourth Prince Lü Jin, but Zheng Le.

Lu Jin was somewhat tempted. If the situation continued to develop, he was bound to lose. The most powerful civil and military officials all supported his elder brother Lu Jun. If he didn't take a gamble, he would never have another chance to sit on the throne.

Lu Jin asked, "Tell me your plan?"

Zheng Qian grinned and recounted his interpersonal relationships and methods of seizing power. Both men fell silent. After a long while, Lü Jin slowly spoke.

"Your plan has only a one percent chance of success; it's too risky."

Zheng Qian retorted without hesitation, "I'm risking my life and you're still whining? My life isn't life, but yours is? Once the First Prince transfers the Red Turban Army to Yan City, you won't have a single chance."

"Alright, rather than wait to die, let's take a gamble. Let's do it." Lu Jin's eyes were filled with madness. Although the chances of success were slim, he still decided to take the plunge.

Zhang Xinghai slapped his thigh until it was bruised, "This can't be done, we'll all die."

The next day at court, the emperor disappeared as usual, and the eldest prince, Lü Jun, took charge of the government.

"The Northern Beacon Army is getting closer and closer to Yan City, threatening its safety. I propose that we send out the Xuanhu Army to wipe out the Beacon Army and uphold our national prestige."

As soon as Lü Jin spoke, the civil and military officials were in an uproar, and his disciples immediately came out to stop him.

"Your Highness, you mustn't! The Xuanhu Army is only eighty li away from Yan City. They are the guarantee of Yan City's safety. We cannot send them out!"

The Crown Prince's disciple immediately retorted, "The Beacon Fire Army is in the north, where the terrain is flat, while the Black Tiger Army is the only heavy cavalry force in our country, which is perfect for countering the Beacon Fire Army. Deploying the Black Tiger Army is the most appropriate option."

"Yes, we must mobilize the Xuanhu Army to demonstrate the might of our Wuyan Kingdom."

The eldest prince, Lü Jun, grinned from ear to ear; if the occasion weren't inappropriate, he would have loved to burst into laughter.

Fourth brother, fourth brother, you must be out of your mind. How can Zheng Le's Beacon Fire Army fight the Xuanhu Army on the plains? Once the Beacon Fire Army is wiped out, what will you use to fight me?

However, if you are courting death, how could I, as your brother, not see you off?

"Fourth brother, you are truly admirable for your dedication to the country and its people. We will follow your advice and send out the Xuanhu Army to destroy the Fenghuo Army. We will immediately report to Father Emperor and ask him to make a decision."

"Alright, I'll listen to you, brother. But I suggest that Zheng Qian, who's been making a lot of noise lately, be appointed as the deputy commander. Do you have any objections, brother?"

After laughing loudly, Lü Jun realized it was inappropriate and quickly stopped laughing, saying, "Haha, uh, no objection, I completely agree with your suggestion, Fourth Brother."

Lu Jun really couldn't understand Lu Jin's intentions. Did he suddenly realize his mistake after drinking fake alcohol last night and decide not to compete with me for the throne?

Everyone knows that the Beacon Fire Army was organized by Zheng Le. If you want to appoint Zheng Qian as the deputy commander, it's like letting the son beat the father.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Zheng Qian is only a deputy commander, and the Xuanhu Army belongs to the eldest prince Lü Jun, it is still unknown whether Zheng Qian will even make it to the battlefield. He can't cause any trouble.

Lu Jin smiled, but her heart was trembling.

Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian, this time it all depends on you.

All the civil and military officials signed the memorial, and Lü Jun and Lü Jin went together to the inner palace to present it to the emperor. The emperor, drunk and reclining on the lap of a beauty, approved it without even looking at it.

If the two sons want to fight, then let them fight. How can we choose a crown prince if they don't fight?

Upon hearing this news, Consort Yun's face turned pale instantly. She sat on the stool and muttered to herself, "It's over, Brother Zheng Qian is doomed."

After a long while, Consort Yun seemed to have made a decision and said to the palace maid, "Go out of the palace and find Zheng Qian. Bring him to me tonight."

At the West Fourth Street Inn, Zheng Qian looked at Jiang Siting with a worried expression.

"Tingting, are you really leaving?"

Early this morning, Zheng Qian brought breakfast to find Jiang Siting, only to learn that Jiang Siting and the other two had left. His heart shattered instantly.

He not only couldn't bear to part with Jiang Siting, but he also couldn't bear to part with Aunt Lan. With her around, Zheng Qian could cause trouble without feeling unsafe.

"Yes, Mom said she'd take me to the North. If you miss me anytime, come find me in the Corpse Domain of Qingqiu." Jiang Siting smiled, though she was also very reluctant to part.

"The Corpse Domain of Qingqiu? Is it far?"

"I don't know, and I've never been there." Jiang Siting's eyes dimmed. She had reasons for having to leave, but she couldn't tell Zheng Qian; it was a secret she couldn't reveal.

Ya Lan grinned mischievously, "It's not far. If you fly, it'll take ten years to get there, and if you walk, it should take a hundred or eighty years."

Zheng Qian looked bewildered. "Aunt Lan, is it true? Will I still be able to see Tingting?"

"When you break through the five million jin strength barrier, you can come and find Tingting."

Five million catties?

Zheng Qian's old shell buzzed. What level of power was that? It was too far away. He immediately said shamelessly.

"Aunt Lan, you're so amazing, you must know a lot of people. Could you recommend a master to me? That way I can train to five million jin faster and then come find you."

Looking at Zheng Qian with a strange expression, Ya Lan thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "After you break through to the Fusion Spirit Realm, head north to a country called Guangxiang Kingdom. They will be holding a Gathering of Heroes in three months. If you can get first place, you can participate in the trial. If you perform exceptionally well in the trial, you can participate in the selection of a sect called Tianmai Sect. If you are good enough, you can meet their sect leader, Long Batian, and tell him that you want to become his disciple. He will then agree to it."

Zheng Qian stared at Ya Lan with his mouth agape in disbelief.

Are you trying to find me a mentor, or are you just making empty promises?

However, just by hearing the name Long Batian, you know he's a big shot. As the sect leader of the Tianmai Sect, he must be a big shot among big shots.

Shaking his head, Zheng Qian asked excitedly, "What if he doesn't agree?"

Ya Lan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said in a chilling tone, "If he doesn't accept you as his disciple, tell him never to come to Qingqiu again in his life, because Qingqiu doesn't welcome him."

With Aunt Lan's words of reassurance, Zheng Qian was relieved. He had to go to the Heavenly Vein Sect to find Long Batian.

Jiang Siting handed a bag of white flour to Zheng Qian and said with a worried expression, "Zheng Qian, there are still a few experts in the Fusion Realm in Wuyan Kingdom. You will suffer if you encounter them now. Take this bag of Spirit Dispersing Powder. If an expert in the Fusion Realm attacks you, just sprinkle it out. As long as the enemy comes into contact with it, the spiritual energy will immediately dissipate. Keep it for self-defense."

Zheng Qian carefully placed the spirit powder in his arms, saying, "Tingting, you still love me the most."

"Alright, it's getting late. Here, this is for you. Hope we meet again someday!"

Ya Lan tossed a ring to Zheng Qian, then flew away with Jiang Siting in a flash.

Zheng Qian touched the ring, wondering if it was the legendary spatial ring. At the same time, he looked up at the sky and secretly made a vow.

Heavenly Vein Sect, Dragon Overlord, I will definitely find you.
