My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 441 The Eldest Princess and the Empress are fighting?
who? ?

Prince?

Zeng Anmin?
Dean Shi?

Not to mention Duke Tian Ji of Wei and the eldest princess.

Even Zeng Shilin, who was sitting in the head coach's seat, looked completely bewildered.

It felt like they were speaking gibberish.

He believed you when you said Zeng Anmin had come.

But could you possibly bring the Crown Prince here as well?

Isn't that just nonsense?

His Majesty only has this one legitimate son, how dare he send him to the battlefield?

impossible!
Zeng Shilin's first reaction was that the soldier who came from outside the tent had encountered a swindler.

His face immediately darkened, and a sharp, sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Before he could speak, the princess's expression turned cold. She looked at the armored soldiers outside the tent, and her red lips parted slightly:

"Could they be from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?"

"It's probably a trick by the demon race." Tian Ji frowned slightly. "Only those demons could come up with such a clumsy scheme."

Clearly, none of the people present thought the Crown Prince would come to Qinghai Bay at this time.

"I'd like to see who dares to be so bold."

Zeng Shilin's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the armored soldiers outside the tent:
"Let them in."

"Yes!"

……

"It seems that the situation in Qinghai Bay is more complicated than I imagined."

Dean Shi frowned.

Along the way, the snow almost buried people.

Let alone a large army, even a small guerrilla force would find it as difficult as climbing to heaven to advance.

Qin Shoucheng stood there expressionless, his gaze fixed intently on the commander's tent not far ahead.

"The most important thing right now is to find out exactly what the situation is in the capital."

Is His Majesty alive or dead?

"Xu, what's your next move?"

"besides……"

Qin Shoucheng's gaze slowly shifted to Sai Chuxue and Liu Shishi's faces, and he said coldly:

"They are Xu's disciples, what should we do with them?"

Sai Chuxue's face darkened. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Liu Shishi frowned, crossed her arms, and looked at Qin Shoucheng:
"What do you mean by 'punishment'? My junior sister Sai and I didn't do anything..."

"And that old scoundrel Xu, I'm sworn enemies with him, and one day I'll kill him with my own hands!"

When Xu Tianshi was mentioned, anger flashed in Liu Shishi's eyes.

Now she understands everything.

Her most respected senior brother was used by Master Xu as nourishment before leaving the Xuanzhen Division.

And she... if it weren't for Zeng Anmin, she probably would have been used as material for the grand formation by Master Xu.

But when she thought of the helplessness she felt when facing Master Xu, she couldn't say a word.

"Alright, stop arguing. At this critical moment, we should meet with Lord Wenqing, tell him about the situation in the capital, and see how he makes arrangements."

The chubby prince, supporting Zeng Anmin, looked up at the crowd with a calm expression:

"The most urgent task should be to enter the command tent first."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shiver.

This damn weather.

"How is Quan Fu feeling now?"

The chubby prince looked at Zeng Anmin gently.

"Okay."

Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile; the development of events was now basically under his control.

With these people around, it's safe to say they've emptied out the capital, if not completely drained it.

The eldest son of Emperor Jianhong, the current Crown Prince, this chubby boy alone is worth more than the entire capital city.

All that's left is to wait for news of everything that's happening in the capital to spread throughout the country.

Of course, this idea still needs to be discussed with...

"The General summons you!"

The armored soldier rushed in from outside the tent and saluted the crowd:

"Please come in, Your Highness."

"Ah."

The chubby prince nodded, helping Zeng Anmin lead the group toward the commander's tent on Jade Head Mountain.

Along the way, they could clearly see that the morale of the armored soldiers was somewhat low...

"Da da da."

Only footsteps could be heard outside the tent.

Zeng Shilin, Tian Ji, and the eldest princess looked out of the tent with ambiguous smiles.

The capital city is thousands of miles away; they want to see who this person is.

"Clap."

The tent flap was pushed open.

The first to enter the main tent were the chubby prince and Zeng Anmin, whom he was supporting.

When the two figures appeared in the tent.

Zeng Shilin, Tian Ji, and the eldest princess all froze for a moment.

Especially Zeng Shilin.

His righteous spirit stirred unconsciously.

"Om!!"

A rich golden aura drifted towards the chubby prince and Zeng Anmin.

"Lord Wenqing, please do not alarm the emperor!"

Dean Shi followed closely behind the two of them. As soon as he entered, he saw a mighty and righteous aura coming towards them.

He let out a low shout, and a surge of righteous aura, equally powerful, rushed towards that aura.

"Chirp!"

The two righteous energies collided and disappeared as if they had been thrown into the sea.

Both of them held back.

Upon seeing Shi Ze, Zeng Shilin's previously somewhat doubtful expression turned completely blank.

"Dean Shi?!"

"Is it really you?!"

The eldest princess suddenly stood up from her seat. She had been watched grow up by Dean Shi, so she was naturally closer to him. Moreover, she still had a communication talisman with Dean Shi.

There's no way it could be fake.

Dean Shi could not possibly be a fake, given his ability to withstand Wenqing Gong's righteous spirit.

Tian Ji was also stunned.

"Boom bang bang..."

He stood up and walked up to the chubby prince, staring at him intently.

"Shhh!!"

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zeng Anmin.

"Old Duke..." Zeng Anmin forced a smile, "I am injured and cannot perform the full ceremony."

"Kid!" Tian Ji's eyes widened, and he reached out and subconsciously pinched Zeng Anmin's cheek.

"Is it really you guys??"

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Crown Prince:
"Greetings, Your Highness!!"

"Duke Wei, there's no need for such formalities." The chubby little prince dared not accept such a gesture and quickly took his arm.

An eerie silence fell over the entire tent.

After a long while, Zeng Shilin slowly stood up from the head coach's seat.

He took a deep breath.

Although I still can't quite accept it.

But the event was happening right before his eyes, leaving him no time to think.

"what happened?"

Zeng Shilin approached Zeng Anmin, his gaze grave.
"Why did you bring His Highness the Crown Prince, Dean Shi...?"

He looked up and saw the team's terminal.

Then his expression turned quite interesting.

Qin Shoucheng, Qin Wanyue, the entire Duke's mansion, Sai Chuxue, Liu Shishi, and a bunch of other people I don't recognize...

"What happened?"

Zeng Shilin's face was somewhat gloomy.

"It's a long story," Dean Shi said with a wry smile. "You probably won't believe what happened in the capital after I tell you."

Zeng Shilin frowned and looked at Dean Shi with a puzzled expression.

The eldest princess glanced at the chubby little prince but didn't speak. Tian Ji looked blankly at Dean Shi.

"Of course, to make a long story short..."

Shi Ze took a deep breath, then looked at everyone, his face extremely gloomy:

"Xu, the traitor who murdered the emperor, has activated the array to reverse the way of heaven."

boom! ! !
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue.

It exploded directly inside the large tent.

Xu, the traitor, murdered the emperor?!

How many Xu traitors could the Xuanzhen Division possibly have?

There could be no other than Master Xu!
The entire tent fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was Zeng Shilin, the eldest princess, or Duke Tian Ji of Wei.

None of the three people could stand still.

They all plopped down on the chairs.

……

Look at how these three people performed.

For no apparent reason, these people from the capital felt somewhat more at ease.

After a long silence.

Zeng Shilin stared intently at Dean Shi:
"What exactly is going on?!"

His voice was extremely deep: "His Majesty... has passed away?!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess stared intently at Dean Shi, her fair hand clenching her sleeve tightly beneath it.

Dean Shi paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

"Snapped!"

The eldest princess sat listlessly in the chair, her eyes vacant.

Tian Ji's expression was incredibly complicated, but he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, they were the only ones in the tent; there were no outsiders. If this news got out…

Will the Holy Dynasty descend into chaos?

Will the supply of provisions be affected?

If the supply of provisions is affected, will the morale of the army be thrown into disarray?

Is this southern expedition really going to end so hastily?

Everything is an unknown mystery.

"Dean Shi, I dare not make such a statement. Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Zeng Shilin slowly stood up from his chair, walked to Dean Shi's side, his gaze fixed on Dean Shi's aged face, and his tone was extremely solemn.

"Although I did not see it with my own eyes, Xu the traitor has activated the heaven-defying formation, and a pillar of light has already risen. That rising pillar of light is undoubtedly His Majesty."

At this moment, Zeng Anmin broke free from the Crown Prince's support and came to Zeng Shilin, looking at his elderly father with extremely firm eyes:
“Father, the traitor Xu wanted to kill us all, but fortunately I had a fortuitous encounter and glimpsed a trace of spatial magic, which allowed me to lead everyone to escape from the capital to this place.”

"If we had been even a fraction later, I fear... my son and I would never have seen each other again."

As he spoke, Zeng Anmin glanced at the chubby prince without leaving a trace, and gave Zeng Shilin a wink.

The moment that look appeared.

Zeng Shilin subconsciously looked towards the chubby prince.

Then he saw Lou Tong standing behind the chubby prince... and the Lou family members behind Lou Tong.

……

In an instant, he understood the meaning behind Zeng Anmin's look!

At the same time, a huge wave surged in his heart.

Could it be that all of this was orchestrated by my own son?
How can this be? ?
After his thoughts drifted away, he forcibly pulled them back.

"The stakes are high."

Zeng Shilin looked up, staring intently at the crowd, his voice tinged with a somber tone:
"Let's settle everyone in first, then we can talk about other things."

…………

"Did you see clearly?"

Empress Gu Xiangnan, dressed in military attire, sat in her tent and heard a report from her subordinate.

"It's crystal clear."

"Although I don't know how they got here from the capital of the Northern Holy Dynasty, I am absolutely certain that I did not see it wrong!"

"Who is there?"

"There's a fat guy I don't recognize, but I've seen Dean Shi once before. There are also two disciples from the Xuanzhen Division, and... I think there's also Zeng Shilin's son, Zeng Anmin."

"Who?"

Gu Xiangnan's nonchalant expression suddenly froze, and she abruptly looked up at the subordinate who had come to report.

"Zeng... Anmin... Your Majesty may not know, but Zeng Shilin's son, Zeng Anmin, courtesy name Quanfu, is a rare talent in the Great Holy Dynasty... Alas? Your Majesty, where... are you going?"

Watching Gu Xiangnan's departing figure.

The subordinate who came to report looked completely bewildered.

…………

Forty li north of Yutou Mountain lies Qinghai Bay.

A great city rose from the ground.

After three years of development.

Qinghai Bay is now full of vitality.

There were many caravans coming and going.

The various medicinal herbs and minerals in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are treasures that merchants flock to.

The group of people who came from the capital were settled by Zeng Shilin in Qinghai Bay.

"Father." Zeng Anmin's body was still weak, and he couldn't muster any martial arts aura.

Fortunately, his physical body was not seriously injured, and it did not affect his mobility.

"What exactly happened? What are you thinking?"

It was a rare opportunity for the father and son to be alone together.

Zeng Shilin's gaze fell on Zeng Anmin's face, his voice tinged with a sinister tone as he said:

"Why did you bring the Crown Prince here too?!"

Zeng Anmin looked at Zeng Shilin innocently and blinked: "You really don't know what I'm thinking?"

"You!" Zeng Shilin felt a surge of anger when he saw Zeng Anmin's innocent eyes.

His gaze sharpened: "Do you know that before you do this, you must be absolutely certain about something?"

Zeng Anmin's smile vanished, replaced by a serious and earnest expression: "I know."

"I am absolutely certain that Emperor Jianhong is dead."

"Because of the dragon vein, even if Master Xu establishes a new emperor in the capital, he will definitely be a false emperor and will not be recognized by the dragon vein at all."

At this point, Zeng Anmin's eyes sharpened even more:
"The chubby boy is our trump card."

"We must enthrone him as the new emperor! For he carries the purest royal blood!"

"Furthermore, I made other arrangements."

Zeng Anmin looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Father, what do you think of Fengqi Road?"

What about Fengqi Road?
I served as the governor of Fengqi Road for five years, and no one knows Fengqi Road better than me!

"The three prefectures and two states of Fengqi Road are located to the south of the Holy Dynasty. It is a rare and excellent place in the whole world, with abundant aquatic products, grain, merchant ships, and population!"

"Lou Yingqi is now the governor of Fengqi Road."

“He was one of your former subordinates; I saved his son’s life.”

"And now, I've brought all his family members to Qinghai Bay."

Zeng Anmin squinted his eyes: "So, Fengqi Road will be ours sooner or later."

……

"You're thinking too simply."

Zeng Shilin glanced at him: "If you want to bring Lou Yingqi in, and you've made such preparations, it's not impossible."

"Furthermore, I worked on Fengqi Road for a few years, so if I want to, it's only a matter of time before I regain control of that area."

"But you forgot someone important."

"Who?" Zeng Anmin was taken aback.

"Empress Gu Xiangnan." Zeng Shilin's voice was extremely gloomy: "My Great Holy Dynasty and the Jiang Kingdom simultaneously dispatched troops here. In recent days, I have met the Empress a few times."

"They are definitely not easy to deal with."

"If you want to establish the capital here, can you guarantee she won't cause chaos?"

Uh.

Zeng Anmin's expression turned strange.

Speaking of Empress Gu Xiangnan... his originally weak body suddenly showed some unusual movement for some reason.

"Bang!!"

A tremendous shockwave resounded in the ears of the father and son.

"Oh no! The Eldest Princess and the Empress of Jiang Kingdom have gotten up!!"

I don't know who rushed to report this.

Hear this sound.

Zeng Anmin's face froze.
