Huangfu Wuji's brows widened, "Okay then, it's up to you to contact the Wild God Sect."
Shen Xudong immediately became anxious after hearing this, "Your Majesty, please think twice! Cooperating with the Wild God Cult is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house, and it will leave a legacy of trouble for China for thousands of years!"
"Humph! I have made up my mind!"
Huangfu Wuji's eyes turned cold, and his domineering aura spread from his body.
Shen Xudong's body only swayed slightly under the impact of the domineering force and then stabilized, but there was a look of pain on his face.
The late emperor was fashionable and able to listen to advice quickly when he was alive, but Huangfu Wuji was arbitrary and arbitrary. He only cared about his own immediate interests, but never thought about the people's livelihood issues in Kyushu a hundred years later!
"Sir, the leader of the Wild God Sect, Dongfang Zhen, is not an easy guy to deal with. I'm afraid if you want to form an alliance with him, you will have to do it yourself."
The man in the bamboo hat said again at this time, drawing Huangfu Wuji's attention back.
"I never have anything to say to those cultists."
Huangfu Wuji frowned. In fact, he felt that the doctrines preached by the Huangshen Religion were simply ridiculous. If there had not been a rebellion, when he unified the continent, he would not have allowed such cults to exist, thereby threatening his rule.
"It is precisely because your Excellency has always scorned the Abandoned God Sect that we need to get in touch with him in person. When I was still the God of War in Middle-earth, my Tianjing Mansion had repeatedly suppressed and suppressed the members of the Abandoned God Sect. If only my subordinates came forward, they would inevitably I feel that you are not sincere enough, sir."
The man in the hat analyzed.
"Well, I'll go there myself." Huangfu Wuji weighed the pros and cons and agreed.
"Also, now that the war ahead is urgent, does your Majesty have a suitable commander-in-chief?"
Huangfu Wuji's expression turned gloomy when he heard this question. After Huangfu Yi's death, his family became even more depleted.
The army currently stationed in Qingzhou is his main force, and he should send someone with authority and trustworthiness to be the commander-in-chief, but at the moment there is no suitable candidate in the Huangfu family.
He did not trust the court officials and the leaders of the Holy Sects of the major Holy Lands at all, fearing that traitors like the Qianlian Holy Sect would appear again.
He was originally planning to take on the role of commander-in-chief himself, but now he had to contact the leader of the Aragami Sect and was temporarily distracted.
"If you don't have a suitable candidate, my subordinates are willing to lead the expedition!"
At this moment, the man in the bamboo hat said something shocking.
"Oh? Are you willing to be the commander-in-chief?"
Huangfu Wuji's face showed surprise. Although the man in the hat was his right-hand man, he always liked to act in secret. Not to mention holding any position in the court, most of the time he did not show his face in front of the court officials.
At this time, he took the initiative to take on important responsibilities, which is a rare thing.
Although he had never held any position in the military, Huangfu Wuji had no doubts about his ability.
The Hades Palace was built with his help, and it was also because of his suggestions that he has built such a huge empire over the years.
He is definitely a suitable candidate, he can trust him, and he has absolute prestige among the Tian Ming Army.
"Well, then you will be the commander-in-chief of the Tianming Army and sit in Qingzhou."
Huangfu Wuji said, and after speaking he glanced at Shen Xudong who was still standing there, a chill surging deep in his eyes.
"Master Shen, those who are capable work hard. You should also follow the man in the hat to Qingzhou and serve as a military advisor!"
Shen Xudong's eyes sharpened upon hearing this, and he did not dare to refute. "Wei Chen obeys the order."
"Okay, you all go down, I have something else to discuss with the man in the hat."
Huangfu Wuji waved his hand and asked everyone else to leave.
When only he and Dou Li Ren were left in the hall, Dou Li Ren said, "Jie Jie, sir, why do you want Shen Xudong to follow? After all, the Overlord is also his grandson. Aren't you afraid that he will take this opportunity to defect to the other party?"
"Aren't you still here?" Huangfu Wuji sneered, "This Shen Xudong is against me all day long, and the world is full of people. I don't want to tolerate him anymore!"
"Killing him directly will attract protests from the court officials and shake the people's hearts. It is better to send him to the front line. Once there, you find an opportunity to kill him and then frame him to heaven. In this way, the Confucian side will not be able to If you blame me, the overlord will be charged with parricide!"
Huangfu Wuji smiled evilly.
"So that's it. Kill two birds with one stone. Your Excellency is really smart."
The man in the hat admired.
"Okay, Shen Xudong is not important. I ask you, what are your chances of winning if you take the initiative to challenge this time?"
Huangfu Wuji's face became solemn. The Tianming Army was his most powerful combat force. If the man in the hat led the expedition and lost, then his country would really be unsafe.
"It's hard to say what the odds are, but my subordinate's new experiment has yielded results, so I just want to take this opportunity to give it a try." The man in the bamboo hat had a dim light in his eyes.
…
At night, deep in the underground palace where the Huangfu family hides.
Huangfu Wuji left the palace without anyone knowing, and after many months, he once again stepped into this dark and damp underground cell.
"I didn't expect that you would come to see me again in such a short period of time. It seems that your situation is worse than I imagined."
In the cell, the disheveled old man joked hoarsely, and then coughed violently after speaking.
"Huh, I'm too lazy to talk to you today."
Huangfu Wuji's face was expressionless. He knew that talking to the other party was just giving him information, so he simply opened the cell without saying anything and untied the two purple-gold chains that bound him.
"what are you up to?"
The old man's tone became serious. He had been in this cell for decades and had never left. Huangfu Wuji had never done such a thing.
"I want to leave Badu. I don't feel safe leaving you here. I'll give you another place."
Huangfu Wuji said indifferently.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect your situation to be so bad!"
When the old man heard this, he laughed and mocked loudly, regardless of the wound on his chest.
Huangfu Wuji has left Luoyang countless times over the years, but he has never thought of transferring him.
Unexpectedly, now that I have become the emperor, I am still worried about something unexpected happening when I leave.
This can only show that he feels that even Luoyang is not safe now, and shows the weakness in his heart!
"Is it my child? He is already very close to you?"
The old man asked excitedly, knowing that he would offend Huangfu Wuji.
Huangfu Wuji's face was as cold as frost. Gu Yuan had been locked up here for decades, but his head was not broken yet.
He can guess so much just by saying a few words!
But how should he answer these words? For the sake of caution, he had to move Gu Yuan when he went out. It was not his son, but his grandson!
If Gu Yuan knew this, he would probably laugh at him even more crazily!
"Shut up. After I move you to a safe place this time, when we meet again next time, you must give me the answer I want no matter what!"
Huangfu Wuji knocked Gu Yuan unconscious with one palm, and the world finally became peaceful.
