Inside the palace, a pair of young people were chatting leisurely in a courtyard.
They were none other than the Eldest Prince and the seventh princess.
"Congratulations, Imperial Brother. He has made another contribution," the seventh princess said to the Eldest Prince with a smile.
"Indeed!
He has performed another meritorious service. In less than a year, he has risen to this level. It seems that in less than five years, he will reach a considerable height! "The First Prince sighed softly.
"Isn't that what you want, Imperial Brother?
Are you afraid that his achievements will overshadow the emperor? "the seventh princess countered with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of that.
After all, our Zi Dynasty won't be replaced so easily. Moreover, I don't think he has that ambition, "the Eldest Prince replied.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm just afraid that some people won't be able to sit still and will try to harm him."
"With his current strength, how many people can be his match?" the seventh princess said disapprovingly.
"That's true," the Eldest Prince replied.
He then looked at the seventh princess and said, "I heard that Imperial Father has already listened to grandfather's suggestion. You might not have to marry into the Windmoon Dynasty. What do you think, Little Sister?"
The seventh princess blushed. "Do I have a choice in this matter?"
"Haha, that's true. You don't have a choice," the Eldest Prince laughed.
In the Long Estate, Long Tianba was already informed of the situation in the imperial court.
"Hehe, that kid has done well.
He's actually a Lieutenant General now. Back then, only Ao Ren was able to become a Major General at his age. Even Ao Yuan was only a commander of 10,000 men. "
Long Tianba smiled as he muttered to himself in the courtyard. He paused for a moment before sighing, "It seems like the old emperor has a good impression of Yue 'er. It seems like Yue' er's marriage is more or less set!"
If Yao Yue heard Long Tianba's words, he would probably jump in fright.
Since when did he have an engagement?
In the Imperial Academy, Situ Qing had also heard of Yao Yue's achievements through various channels.
A brilliant smile appeared on her face as she muttered, "Gold will always shine no matter where it is.
Looks like the disciple I've raised is pretty good. You've brought honor to me! "
When Ji Youran heard the news, he could no longer maintain his usual calm demeanor.
"Looks like it's time for me to make a move. Otherwise, I'll really be left behind. However, so what if you're a lieutenant general? As long as you're not a general, nothing will be a problem!"
Ji Youran muttered to himself as he walked out of the courtyard and asked his master for permission to temporarily leave the Royal School.
He had to rush to the border and he couldn't let Yao Yue take all the credit!
However, before he left, he actually called Situ Lian along.
By the time Situ Qing found out about this, the two of them had already walked far away.
Situ Qing had no choice but to follow behind her. She would never allow anything to happen to her sister. At the same time, she was eager to see her disciple whom she had not seen for many years.
When Yao Yue received the imperial edict, it was already three months after the victory in Bei Feng City!
He had been fighting at the border for more than half a year, and it had been almost a year since he left the academy!
In less than a year, he had gone from a volunteer to a lieutenant general. This was definitely the fastest promotion in history!
It was no wonder many people said that the battlefield was the fastest place to rise in rank!
"Yao Yue, you're a lieutenant general now!
The next step is to become a deputy general or general!
Uncle Jiao is happy for you! "After the eunuch left, Jiao He privately called Yao Yue to his residence for a chat.
Yao Yue revealed a humble expression and said, "Uncle Jiao, you're too kind. I'm just a casual acquaintance."
In truth, if there were no wars at the border, it would be impossible for Yao Yue to be promoted so quickly!
In the army, apart from strength, seniority was also important. Yao Yue's seniority was still very shallow!
The reason he was able to rise so quickly was because there were many wars at the border, and there were many opportunities for him to perform meritorious deeds.
"Don't be so humble. Now that you're a lieutenant general, you have the qualifications to participate in the army's matters in the future. I hope you can continue to work hard and strive to become a general soon!" Jiao He encouraged.
"Yes, Uncle Jiao. I won't let you down!" Yao Yue replied confidently.
"Yes, we've already taken Bei Feng City for more than three months!
However, we still haven't reclaimed Bei Feng City. What do you think? "Jiao He asked Yao Yue.
Over the past three months, Jiao He had cooperated with Lord Taijun to force Bei Feng City, but the Asura Army had already sent reinforcements.
Moreover, judging from the Asura Army's momentum, the Asura Army had also sent many Asura Kings. In the past few battles, many Kings had died in the Yao Yue army.
If this continued, it would be disadvantageous for them!
Jiao He was also very anxious. He wanted nothing more than to reclaim Bei Feng City. That way, he would be able to crush Dong Feng's momentum and become the Northern General!
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Long Tianba had once said this to Jiao He.
Back then, the position of Northern General that was supposed to be his was replaced by Dong Feng. He felt very unbalanced.
Now that there was a chance to reclaim it, he naturally wouldn't want to miss it.
"It won't be easy to reclaim Bei Feng City. Even the other generals can't do anything about it, so what can I do?"
Yao Yue shrugged. He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I know that the Asura Devils won't be satisfied with just guarding a single city. I believe that they will try to take back our city with a thunderous momentum. If we can find out their whereabouts and set up an ambush, we will definitely be able to make them pay the price. At that time, taking back Northern Shepherd City will be a piece of cake!"
"You're right, but how do we find out their whereabouts? That won't be easy!"
Jiao He then looked at Yao Yue and said, "I know you are capable, so I'll leave this matter to you. Take back Northshepherd City as soon as possible. Not only will you be able to answer to the imperial court, but you will also be able to answer to General Longwu!"
When Yao Yue heard Jiao He mention his grandfather, he felt embarrassed to refuse. He smiled and said, "Alright, leave it to me. However, whether we can successfully carry out our plan after we find out their whereabouts will depend on Uncle Jiao's ability!"
When Jiao He saw Yao Yue's confident expression, he knew that Yao Yue had a plan. He nodded and said, "Don't worry. Uncle Jiao still has some prestige in the army!"
"That's good. I'll go down first to scout the situation!" Yao Yue said and left Jiao He's residence.
As soon as Yao Yue returned to his residence, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were already waiting for him.
The two of them were beaming with joy. Clearly, they had encountered something good.
Indeed, they had been promoted from chiliarchs to commanders of ten thousand men. How could they not be happy?
"Boss, does General Jiao have any orders for us?" Guan Changyun immediately asked when he saw Yao Yue.
"What's wrong? Are you bored out of your mind?
Why don't I give you five thousand men to kill the Asura Devils? "Yao Yue joked.
"That's great!
I'm really bored out of my mind now. I thought that I would be able to see the Asura Women of the Asura Dynasty at the border, but I haven't even seen a single one.
Why don't the three of us kill our way to Bei Feng City and make a great contribution? Then, we'll kill our way to the Asura Dynasty and see what the Asura Witches look like! "Guan Changyun said.
Zhang Mengfei said, "Second Brother, actually, you can guess what the Asura Witches look like just by looking at the Asura Devils. I didn't expect Second Brother's taste to be so heavy."
"Go to hell. I heard that the Asura Women all look like seductive spirits. Moreover, they can dance that ecstasy dance. They are very charming!" Guan Changyun scolded jokingly.
"Alright, you're all commanders of ten thousand men now. Lead your troops well.
It won't be long before we can do something big! "Yao Yue said. He then added," You two didn't come here just for this, right? "
"Not at that time, boss. Actually, we have a piece of good news for you!" Guan Zhangyun said with a meaningful look.
"What is it? Why are you keeping me in suspense?" Yao Yue was puzzled.
"Big Brother, Instructor Situ is here to see you!" Zhang Mengfei blurted out.
"Third Brother, why did you say it so quickly? I wanted Boss to guess!" Guan Changyun said with some dissatisfaction.
"What? You … You said that my beautiful master is here?" Yao Yue exclaimed.
Truth be told, after being at the border for so long, he really missed his family in the imperial city.
This included his mother, Hu Mei, grandfather, third uncle, and of course, that beautiful master of his.
"Of course it's true. If I hadn't discovered Instructor Situ when I was guarding the city gate, who knows where she would be looking for you. I'll go bring her here now!" Guan Changyun said before he prepared to go out and bring Situ Qing over.
However, Yao Yue said, "No need. I'll go out and meet her."
Having said that, he flew out of the gate and soared into the sky.
His Fire God's Eyes flickered as a delicate figure appeared before him outside the city.
Whoosh!
He flew over like the wind and arrived outside the city in the blink of an eye.
Guan Changyun wanted to follow, but Zhang Mengfei pulled his arm and said, "Second Brother, Boss is catching up with Instructor Situ. We won't interfere."
"What are you talking about? Boss might be Instructor Situ's disciple, but we are also half her disciples!
I want to catch up with Instructor Situ as well! "Guan Changyun said angrily.
However, even though he said that, he did not continue to chase after them.
Although he said that he loved beauties, he still knew his limits.
Yao Yue arrived at the top of a small hill outside the city and saw a beautiful figure standing in the air. As the breeze blew past, the light muslin satin fluttered like a cloud. It was too beautiful to be taken in all at once!
For some reason, Yao Yue's heartbeat quickened when he saw the beautiful figure. An indescribable feeling of intimacy surged from his feet to his head.
It was a very strange feeling, one that he had never felt before.
"Beautiful master, did you come to see me?" Yao Yue softly asked as he looked at the beautiful figure.
As soon as he said that, the beautiful figure turned around gracefully.
