"Your Highness, don't be too sad for the soldiers who died in battle in Causeway Valley and Zhang Xing, the old minister took the blood spirit of the chieftain and captured the soldiers, which is enough to give birth to hundreds of thousands of wolf soldiers, and the combat power is comparable to a million army, and the capture of the city is like a bamboo! Not to mention a chieftain, even the demon clan has to be afraid of three points! Who in the world didn't surrender at that time?! Your Highness will create the great cause of unification for all generations! The Demon Slayer smirked.

"I hope Your Highness thinks twice!" The two governors of Guo and Zhang, along with several officials, tried to continue to persuade the crown prince.

"Hmph, you guys! This king knows that some people in the court are uncomfortable looking at this king, and when he heard that this king led the troops and the state victory, some people are going to be sad for a while, just let them chew their tongues! The two governors, don't persuade again, I hope you two and this king have the same thoughts, don't accuse this king of being too stubborn behind your back! Well, that's the end of today's discussion! The prince sneered and hurriedly interrupted the two.

Guo Zhang and the others knew that the prince could not listen to any persuasion at all, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, looking quite helpless, sighed, stopped speaking, and retreated silently.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and the prince hurriedly wrote a letter that he would continue to use troops to march westward and slaughter the chieftain in a letter, suggesting that Emperor Pingwu should be played, just waiting for his father's reply.

Emperor Pingwu learned of the great victory in Hezhou and lifted the threat of the western gateway, and Longyan was happy. The old emperor thought that the wolf army formation of the demon slayer walker was really as powerful and invincible as it was displayed on the battlefield, and it seemed that the prince did have the help of the gods, and he wanted to pass on the throne to the prince. It's just that at present, the crown prince and Concubine Wei Xuan have no heirs, and Emperor Pingwu discussed with Empress Dong and decided to select 20 women from wealthy official families in various provinces and counties in China to enrich the prince's East Palace. If there is a successor to the crown prince, everything will fall into place, and then the throne will be passed on to the crown prince.

The prince Feishu arrived again, and Xue Zhongbing, Demon Slayer and others continued to march westward, and the plan to slaughter the chieftain was presented to Emperor Pingwu, and Emperor Pingwu also agreed with the prince's proposition, that is, to eliminate the evil, kill all the chieftains, and eliminate future troubles forever. However, he still had concerns, firstly, that this move would violate the teachings of Emperor Yu Hua and be contrary to the principle of benevolence, which is respected by the whole country. Second, the number of demon slaying walkers and wolf soldiers has increased rapidly, after all, the old mage is not an old minister of the court, if he is rebellious and self-reliant, I am afraid that he will not be able to control it, and he will cause chaos in vain. After careful consideration, Emperor Pingwu sent people to the east to cross the Hanhai Sea and sent an envoy to the Zhulan Divine Kingdom to inform him of the recent war between Huaxia and the chieftains, as well as the news that the alien mage led the blue wolf army array to defeat the chieftains; At the same time, a court meeting was held to discuss whether to continue the westward expedition to the chieftains and carry out the massacre.

As Emperor Pingwu expected, the two factions faced each other in the court and launched a fierce battle of words, and the two sides fought red-faced. The side led by Fang Ping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Chongwu, the prime minister of Zuo, Yang Biao, the secretary of the military department, Sun Yu, the commander of Jinwu, Sima Jin, the king of Jingren, and Sima Luo, the king of Tanglin, opposed the westward advance to attack the enemy, and advocated similar ideas to the two major governors of Guo Zhang at the Hezhou Conference, believing that the westward conquest and destruction of the country was not only a serious drain of national strength but also too brutal, and contrary to the will of Venerable Qiu Meng. Moreover, there has been no movement from the Demon Clan, and something is abnormal, if the labor division attacks far away, the troops are scattered, and the Demon Clan suddenly attacked, and the consequences may be out of control. Xue Heng, the right prime minister, Xue Heng, the secretary of the criminal department, Ding Yi, the secretary of the household department, Shi Xiude, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Sima Zhang, the king of Xuangong, and Sima Tao, the king of Xiling, are similar to Xue Zhongbing and the demon slayers.

Emperor Pingwu already had an idea, holding a court meeting just to make a show, at the last moment he decided to support the main battle side, and at the same time quickly gave an edict to the prince who was far away in Hezhou, the edict read: "I learned that Hezhou was a great victory, and the generals and officials made great contributions, and the brave and resolute wolf general bore the brunt, with a mere array of more than 10,000 wolf soldiers swept the chieftain hundreds of thousands of 'poor people' army, annihilating the enemy, so that my Chinese reputation was shocked in the eight wildernesses, and the countries worshiped it." Since then, the chieftain's heart of competition has not dared to sprout again, and the covetous intention has been dissipated, all thanks to the prince's benevolence and righteousness, sincerity, inspiration to the gods, and the surrender of the alien mage, so he has achieved success! This sincerity is the blessing of all the people of China! However, the chieftain was defeated, the remnants of the enemy fled back to the country, the first evil was not punished, and he was still breathless, and he must not be tolerated, so that he made a comeback. The soldiers of the benevolent are killed to stop killing. The punishment of violence and the elimination of evil lies in exhaustion, and it is not feasible to sit on the mercy of a woman to raise carbuncles. Ordered the general of the wolf to immediately give birth to the wolf army, wave the army to the west, capture the chieftains, and reach the thieves' nest Xijing, through the provinces, counties and townships, all the chiefs and people, regardless of the noble and low, the young and old, all together. Xue Zhongbing, who joined the army on behalf of the former military division of the imperial army, invoked the meritorious service of the demon slayer, and made the first strange plan in the first battle of Hezhou, with outstanding merits, and gave the title of 'Fu Youhou', and promoted the former military division of the imperial army, and went out of Hezhou with Yongyi Hou to conquer the chieftain. The prince's army served in front of the army, ate and ate, was dedicated to me, and cared about the country, but he still has no heirs, and there are no heirs, it is a matter of the country, and now he has ordered Huaxia to raise 20 virtuous and virtuous women, and wait for Changyang, so that the prince will return to Beijing quickly, select concubines, set up heirs early, and consolidate the foundation of our country! Chin this! ”

The edict was to the effect that he agreed to the idea of the demon slayer and Xue Zhongbing, continued to attack the chieftain, and carried out the extermination of the country and the purge of the (species) clan of the chieftains, and at the same time gave Xue Zhongbing a seal, and the official was promoted to a grade, and he became a military advisor in front of the emperor, which shows that the father and son of Emperor Pingwu attached great importance to it, and finally ordered the prince to return to Beijing quickly.

In addition to the official edict, there was a top-secret letter from Emperor Pingwu to the crown prince, in which Emperor Pingwu expressed his concern that the huge army of wolf soldiers would undoubtedly bring triumph and victory to the empire, and that the Demon Slayer Walker was a super-powered mage sent by the gods, and if he did not listen to moderation, it would bring great risks to the imperial court, after all, he knew very little about the old mage's past. Emperor Pingwu ordered the crown prince to select a confidant minister and a number of generals to go west together to secretly investigate the words and deeds of demon slayers. If the mage leads the wolf soldiers to destroy the chieftain and has the slightest ambition, he can do it cheaply to kill him, and he can only outwit the demon slayer, and he must not come hard, otherwise he will cause trouble.

After reading the letter, the crown prince burned it according to Emperor Pingwu's instructions, he shook his head and smiled, and said secretly: "Father is too worried. The actions of the demon slayer have always shown their loyalty to Huaxia, and they have not been proud of their words and deeds. How could this archmage, who was found by the revelation of the goddess in her dream, have a heart of disobedience? ”

However, the crown prince still acted in accordance with his father's will and did not dare to slack off. After thinking about it, he decided to secretly summon Xue Zhongbing to come to discuss the matter alone, after all, Xue Zhongbing was already his most trusted and indispensable confidant.
