...
He heard He Wuhen say this, He Yaotian quickly used his spiritual sense to investigate.
After seeing this, he saw the strength of He Wuhen’s second-level martial artist.
He Yaotian was immediately surprised and said excitedly: "You have actually advanced to the second-level martial arts master? Oh my God! Why is it so fast? Didn't you just a first-level martial arts master the day before yesterday?"
"Uh, this is not the point. Grandpa, please see what my strength is now."
As he spoke, the energy in He Wuhen's palm surged and instilled into the ring.
He Yaotian used his spiritual sense again and checked for a while. His face changed drastically, and he was filled with shock and disbelief.
"How could this happen? You can't see your strength level?"
He Wuhen took down the ring and handed it to He Yaotian's hand. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, this ring is for you. If you use it well, it will have miraculous effects."
He Yaotian was also a smart person. When he calmed down and thought about it, he immediately understood what He Wuhen meant and a smile appeared on his face.
"Wuhen, what you mean is that although I have now advanced to the Wuzong realm, I have to bring this ring and hide my strength to reduce the emperor's vigilance, right?"
"Well, yes grandpa, so the emperor will not change his plan. If he knew that you had become Wuzong, he might want to deal with us in a more sinister and vicious way."
"Well, okay, then I will do what you said." He Yaotian nodded, put on the ring, and followed the He Wuhen Sect's method to hide the realm of strength.
The two were about to continue talking and discussing something, but a loud notification came from outside the house.
It was a sharp sound, not a man, not a woman, not a woman.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
When he heard this voice, the grandfather and grandson were stunned, then left the study and came to the yard.
In the eyes of the two, the gate of He Mansion slowly opened.
An old eunuch in high costume, led a team of palace maids and little eunuchs, and walked over with a roll of imperial edicts.
At this moment, the eyes of the grandfather and grandson became much colder.
Is the emperor finally going to do it?
Amid the old eunuch's drinking and singing, inside and outside the He Mansion, both the guards and servants, fell to their knees.
He Yaotian also brought He Wuhen to the gate of the hall and bent down to wait seriously.
Ordinary powerful people, even the prime minister, must kneel down to greet the imperial edict.
But He Yaotian doesn't need it, because he is the unique Duke of the State. He has this privilege and does not need to kneel down to the emperor.
A moment later, the old eunuch came to the steps of the hall with the imperial edict, and opened the imperial edict and recited the way to He Yaotian who was bent down and waiting.
"In response to the Tianshun period, the Holy Order said: There was a pearl of the East China Sea in ancient times, which was my Qingyuan land. This island has abundant resources, so it attracted many young people to covet and watch."
"Month ago, the Dragon Nine Army of the Tianfeng Empire invaded our Qingyuan Pearl with the actions of rats. The guard general Mu Tianyu fought bloody battles for 33 days and vowed to fight to the death. However, the enemy was powerful and our army suffered heavy casualties. So far, they can only defend the Pearl City, build a wall to defend and block the enemy's offensive."
"Therefore, I ordered my Qingyuan soldiers and horses, He Yaotian, to rush to Xingye City today, and lead 20,000 black-armored lions to go to the Pearl Island of the East China Sea! I hope the Grand Marshal will wear his battle robe again, drive away the stubborn enemy at night, guard the Qingyuan territory, promote the prestige of our Qingyuan, shock the world, make achievements again, and prosper the martial arts fortune!"
"I'm so proud! The Duke of Zhenguo received the order."
He Yaotian seemed to have known about this, and was not surprised. He took the imperial edict with a calm expression and handed it over to He Wuhen to hold it, and then called the servant to greet the old eunuch.
The old eunuch was regarded as a guest of honor and was invited to entertain him in the hall. He was accompanied by his old man so that He Wuhen would not worry.
He walked towards the study with the imperial edict, and thought through the meaning of the imperial edict in his heart.
The meaning of this imperial edict is actually very simple, and the general meaning is as follows.
There is a Pearl Island with abundant resources, hanging alone in the East China Sea. It has been the territory of the Qingyuan Kingdom from ancient times to the present, but it has attracted the covetness and spying of many villains.
A month ago, Long Jiu, the general of the Tianfeng Empire, led a large army to attack Pearl Island.
General Mu Tianyu, who was guarding Pearl Island, led his troops to fight back and fought bloody battles for thirty-three days.
In the end, Long Jiu's army was too powerful, and Mu Tianyu's soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to the Pearl City on the island, vowing to guard the last city position to the death.
Now, the emperor ordered He Yaotian to lead his troops to the expedition and to Xingye City, leading the army of 20,000 Black Armored Battalions to the East China Sea to rescue the soldiers on Pearl Island.
The emperor hoped that the Grand Marshal, who had been silent for thirty years, could wear his battle robe, defeat Long Jiu's army, defend the country, and make a name for the Qingyuan Kingdom.
To sum up, it’s just a sentence that the emperor is going to send He Yaotian to the East China Sea to fight.
Since he understood this meaning, He Wuhen began to think about what the emperor's imperial edict had.
Now that the He family and the royal family are in the same situation, if this imperial edict is simply to let He Yaotian fight, He Wuhen will definitely not believe it.
He felt that there must be something wrong with this!
So, after entering the study, he placed the imperial edict on the bookshelf and began to check the maps and information of Qingyuan Country.
Half an hour later, after reading a lot of information and maps, He Wuhen also gained a deeper understanding of all this.
First of all, we must talk about the situation and terrain of the Eastern Wilderness Continent.
The Eastern Wilderness Continent is as vast as the sea and has an endless area. On this continent, which is mostly jungle mountain range, there are 39 countries in total.
Of course, the three empires are the most powerful, and the Tianfeng Empire is one of them, and there are 36 slightly weaker second-rate countries, and the Qingyuan Kingdom is also one of them.
The East Wilderness Continent is located in the easternmost part of the Xuanhuang World. Going further east is the mysterious and vast endless East China Sea.
The Qingyuan Kingdom is located in the easternmost part of the Eastern Wilderness Continent, bordering the Tianyue Kingdom to the west, and the endless East China Sea to the east.
However, in the north of Qingyuan Kingdom, in addition to the vast barbarian heavenly kingdom in the northern part of the extremely cold land, there is also a large empire, the Tianfeng Empire.
On the southwest side of Qingyuan Kingdom is the Izumo Empire, which has abundant land and strong people.
Qingyuan Kingdom, a second-rate small country, has always been sandwiched between the two empires of Fengyun, but it occupied the Pearl Island, which has abundant resources, which has attracted many wars between the two countries.
Pearl Island is located in the endless East Sea and is an island with an area of about the size of one province.
The island is full of spring seasons, with abundant resources, rich pearls and night pearls, and rich metal veins, which are extremely suitable for crop growth.
This island can provide at least tens of millions of wealth to Qingyuan Country every year, which is almost 80% of the inland national income.
Because it has abundant resources, it is like a pearl in the East China Sea, and because it is a major economic source of Qingyuan Kingdom, it is regarded as a treasure by Qingyuan Kingdom.
The name Pearl Island was also obtained because of this.
It is precisely because Pearl Island is too important that many countries and forces want to take it away, and the war triggered by this has never subsided for thousands of years.
Not only are there continuous battles between the two empires of Fengyun, but even the powerful pirates and sects with great masters in the East China Sea will come to fight Qiufeng from time to time.
General Long Jiu is one of the three most valued generals in the Tianfeng Empire. This time, the Tianfeng Empire must be determined to take down Pearl Island.
Each of the three great generals of the Tianfeng Empire is a pride of heaven. In terms of martial arts and strategies, they are comparable to He Yaotian.
Mu Tianyu is the emperor's cousin, and his martial arts and martial arts are both weak. He is also one of the top three generals in Qingyuan Kingdom.
But compared with General Long Jiu, Mu Tianyu is not enough, so it is natural to lose the battle.
As the battle situation changed, the emperor probably had no other choice but to send He Yaotian to the battle with armor.
After all, in the entire Qingyuan country, there is no one else except He Yaotian who can be qualified to fight with General Long Jiu.
"But, is it just because of this? Didn't the emperor hide other thoughts?"
He Wuhen didn't believe it very much, and always felt that no matter whether it was the crown prince or the emperor, they were all sinister and vicious people.
This matter will definitely not be that simple.
At this moment, the door of the study opened and He Yaotian pushed the door open and entered.
"Wuheng, go and prepare quickly. We will set off for Xingye City tomorrow morning."
He Yaotian was indeed decisive and issued an order as soon as he entered the door, and then began to organize files and materials in the study.
He is a tiger general who is like thunder and flames when fighting, but he is a marshal who is very careful and careful when doing things.
Being brave and resourceful is the true portrayal of He Yaotian, and this is also the reason why he was able to become the Grand Marshal and Duke of Zhenguo.
He Wuhen was stunned for a moment and asked unwillingly: "Grandpa, are we leaving Yujing City like this and working hard for the emperor?"
He Yaotian was busy packing the files and maps. After hearing this, he raised his head and looked at He Wuhen with a burning look. Suddenly, his expression became serious and solemn.
"Wuhen, this is not to work hard for the emperor, this is to save the six million people of Qingyuan!"
"No matter what rift between the royal family and our He family, it is their own selfishness in the face of the lives of the six million people and should be left behind."
"I am the Grand Marshal of Qingyuan Kingdom. My duty is to defend the country and protect the people. I have no choice but to do this!"
"What's more, the emperor has put aside his prejudices and trusted and supported me with all his strength. How can I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Even if the royal family has any disputes with our He family, I will wait until I expel Long Jiu's army and save Pearl Island before I talk about it!"
The old man said these words with a solemn expression, which made He Wuhen feel ashamed of his righteousness. For a moment, he was speechless.
"Okay, then I'll pack my luggage. This time I'll take Wuhui away."
After saying that, He Wuhen pushed open the door and walked out, returned to his room calmly, and did not even say hello when he met He Feng on the way.
The old man had his own ideas. He was a soldier and a marshal of soldiers and horses, so he would rather sacrifice himself than make a living for the people of the world.
In other words, the old man is a noble person and can sacrifice his good marshal for the sake of the people.
But He Wuhen is not, neither a soldier nor a general, he is just an ordinary person with the dream of a playboy.
If possible, he just wants to live as long as possible, live freely and comfortably.
In other words, He Wuhen is a little person with no noble sentiment, very real and ordinary life. He lives a hard life and is even a little selfish.
He could not sacrifice himself and his relatives for the sake of the people, nor could he do so even though he knew that the emperor was going to kill him, he was still loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and was willing to work hard for the emperor.
Therefore, the old man has his choices and decisions, and he also has his own decisions and plans.;
