Huangfu Zhengxiao's face was extremely pale, but facing the pressure from Qin Zheng at this time, he had no choice but to kneel on his knees, lower his head and said: "I am guilty, please punish me!"

"We'll talk about you later!"

Qin Zheng snorted coldly, and then shouted: "General Feihu!"

"I'm here!"

A middle-aged man came out, half-kneeling and said.

"This time the duty of guarding the city will be left to you."

Qin Zheng said calmly.

General Feihu was so ecstatic that he lowered his head repeatedly and said, "I obey your order!"

"Your Majesty, why don't we take the initiative to attack!"

Nangong Batian suddenly spoke.

Qin Zheng glanced at him indifferently and did not answer. Instead, he looked at a middle-aged man and said, "Brother Emperor, you haven't fought in many years. Now it's time to move your body."

Qin Mo, the father of Qin Long in Admiral Tiance's Mansion, smiled and nodded, saying: "Brother, that's exactly what I meant."

With Qin Zheng's deployment of troops and generals, almost all of the 500,000 troops stationed in the capital all year round were dispatched.

Finally, Qin Zheng looked at Ning Qi: "Slaying the Dragon Marquis, you will oversee the army in this battle."

"What!?"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"How can such a big thing be such a child's play? The Dragon Slayer has no experience in this area at all!"

After hearing this, all the ministers spoke against it.

"Shut up, I have already decided."

Qin Zheng glanced at the ministers coldly and said.

Ning Qi wanted to politely refuse, but seeing that Qin Zheng's attitude was so firm, any further refusal would be a loss of face for him, so he held up his hands and said: "I obey the decree!"

…………

"Have you heard! Our Qin and Tang Empire are going to war with the Red Sun Empire!"

"Tsk, tsk, I just saw a group of soldiers leaving the city. Good guys, there are tens of thousands of them, and every one of them is the best of the best!"

"Is the Red Sun Empire stupid? How dare you start a war with our Qin and Tang Empire?"

In a restaurant, several tables of guests gathered together to chat. The lowest among these people were one-star Dou Masters, while the highest ones were Great Dou Masters.

In the Qin and Tang Empires, he was considered a small master.

"I think this is the opportunity I've been waiting for. There has been no war in the Qin and Tang empires for a long time. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could make great contributions and become a minor official?"

"Brother Xu is right, let's go and join the army together!"

Almost everyone in the capital knew the news, but instead of panicking, most people were very excited. In their eyes, the Red Sun Empire was seeking death!

If they had known that there was a Douzong in the Red Sun Empire, they would have packed their bags and fled the capital with their whole family.

Qingshui House.

Basically all the distinguished disciples from the capital are here.

Except for a few people with official positions who had already gone out with the army, idle personnel like Huangfu Tao and Kong Tianqi all gathered here.

"Hey, where is Ning Yan?"

Kong Tianqi frowned and glanced at everyone, but he didn't find Ning Yan, which was a little strange.

"Now that his cultivation is ruined, it is impossible for him to go out with the army. Is it because Ning Qi is back that he is hiding at home and not going out?"

Someone said with a smile.

Huangfu Tao said calmly: "Don't worry about him. This time the Red Sun Empire army is attacking. What do you think?"

"What do you think? Brother Huangfu, I heard that Duke Shenwu has already led 70,000 soldiers and horses on an expedition. Why don't you go with us? When the time comes and you come back with some military exploits, the emperor will definitely give you a heavy reward."

Cao Zheng looked at Huangfu Tao and smiled.

"snort!"

Huangfu Tao glanced at Cao Zheng, snorted coldly, and said: "This time, Governor Ning Qi, with his villainous heart, if I go, will I still be able to come back alive!?"

"Exactly so!"

Someone echoed.

"Why did the emperor let Ning Qi supervise the army? He has no experience in battlefield combat!"

Someone said dissatisfiedly, their words full of jealousy.

"Haha, the emperor's decision is not something we can arbitrarily discuss, but brother Huangfu. I heard from my grandfather that your lackey Long Jiutian defected to the enemy and was captured by Ning Qi. Is this happening?"

Cao Zheng smiled.

Huangfu Tao's expression suddenly changed: "This matter has nothing to do with my Huangfu family! Cao Zheng, please don't slander my Huangfu family!"

"Haha, why are you nervous? I'm just asking."

Cao Zheng smiled.

"Hey, who are you? You can't enter here at will!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise at the door.

boom!

A servant flew in and landed heavily at Huangfu Tao's feet.

This servant is Huangfu Tao's follower.

When Huangfu Tao saw this, he stood up abruptly and looked toward the door.

"It's so lively, everyone is here."

The visitor glanced at everyone and smiled slightly.

This man was very tall and strong, and everyone felt a dull pressure in front of him, as if they were not facing a human race, but a monster beast.

"Who are you!"

Huangfu Tao said coldly.

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, this person seemed a bit familiar.

"You don't recognize me anymore?"

There was a hint of mockery in the corner of the visitor's mouth.

"Hey, why do you look a bit like Ning Yan?"

Kong Tianqi suddenly put away his fan and said in shock.

Ning Yan smiled slightly: "Because, I am Ning Yan!"

How is that possible!

Everyone stood up in shock, with doubts on their faces.

How did Ning Yan become like this?

And it seems that his cultivation has recovered?

"I am here today to tell you that the Red Sun Empire's army is approaching, and Ning Qi has become the governor. When the battle is over, the great contribution will naturally be on him. When the time comes, I am afraid that the emperor will give him a role as a duke.

It is understandable that those who have offended Ning Qi will have a good ending when the time comes?"

Ning Yan smiled slightly and said.

"Are you really Ning Yan? What do you mean by these words!?"

Huangfu Tao looked at Ning Yan warily.

As a nine-star great fighting master, he found that he could not see through Ning Yan's cultivation level, which seemed to be much higher than his own!

How is that possible!

Ning Yan was a useless person a few days ago, but after a few days he became a fighting spirit!

This is faster than Ning Qi’s improvement in cultivation!

"I have received news that there will not be many experts on the Red Sun Empire's food and grass transportation route. Everyone, would you like to go with me and cut off their food and grass. By then, the frontline troops will have no food and grass to use, and the army will naturally

If we are defeated without a fight, you and I will also become the heroes of this war! Our merits will far exceed Ning Qi's!"

Ning Yan said calmly.

"Do you really know the food delivery route of the Red Sun Empire!?"

Huangfu Tao said in shock.

Everyone took a breath. If what Ning Yan said was true, then what awaited them would be great achievements! Especially those second-rate noble disciples, their faces showed expressions of ecstasy. This kind of opportunity may never come to them in their lifetime.
