Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

"Dai Quan, pass on the message—this time, spare no expense to exterminate them all!"

"The Great Qian Dynasty cannot tolerate such a monster!"

Inside the Qin Prince's mansion, Yuanyang rushed into the study.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived! His Majesty urgently summons you to the palace immediately!"

She was breathing heavily, her voice strained.

"Um."

Jia Yi had anticipated this.

Forget about going back to your room tonight to spend time with Xue Baochai; you'll just have to sit in your study waiting for the imperial edict.

The next second, Xia Shouzhong rushed in and grabbed his arm:

"Your Highness, hurry! Something terrible has happened!"

"The Prince of Nan'an is dead! The entire Guangdong and Guangxi provinces have fallen to the White Lotus Rebellion!"

"His Majesty is determined to have you lead the southern expedition!"

In just a few words, Xia Shouzhong explained the situation clearly.

"I see."

Jia Yi's gaze darkened, his tone calm yet sharp as a drawn sword.

A moment later, in the Imperial Study.

"You've arrived." Emperor Yuankang stared at him. "Did Xia Shouzhong tell you everything?"

"Your Majesty, I am aware of this."

Jia Yi cupped his hands and volunteered, "Your humble servant is willing to lead the army south to quell the chaos."

"Excellent!" Emperor Yuankang slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "But the Loyal and Brave Camp cannot be moved! The Capital Garrison has not yet been recaptured, and the capital cannot do without this iron army!"

"You can recruit your own troops, train as you go, and fight your way all the way to Lingnan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jia Yi accepted the order.

"Prepare immediately!" Emperor Yuankang's eyes blazed. "Speed ​​is of the essence in war; I don't want to wait another day!"

"If I could kick you flying right now, I wouldn't hesitate!"

"Your humble servant takes his leave."

Jia Yi turned and left, and that very night he activated the system to secretly recruit soldiers.

Three days!

In just three days, an army of 110,000 was ready to go!

One hundred thousand White-Spear Soldiers stood in formation like a forest, while ten thousand musketeers stood solemnly like iron.

Jia Yi inspected the area and nodded in satisfaction.

He then secretly ordered Zhao Shizhen: "Send all the flintlock muskets and gunpowder to the front lines!"

With the army properly deployed, he took some time to return home.

The Jia family had already gotten wind of the situation, and the whole family gathered at the Prince of Qin's residence.

"Qing, Baochai, I have to go again."

Jia Yi grasped their hands and said softly, "The journey is long, and it may take a year to go back and forth. You'll have a heavy burden to bear at home, so thank you for your hard work."

"Yi-ge, go ahead."

Grandmother Jia stepped forward, her face full of loving kindness.

Jia Yi didn't even lift his eyelids, completely ignoring him.

The old lady stood frozen in place, her face a mixture of pale and ashen.

"Third Master... please be extremely careful on the battlefield!"

Qin Keqing and Xue Baochai both choked with sobs, their eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh, right," Qin Keqing said, her tears turning into a smile, "Baochai is pregnant."

"Baochai, you should take good care of yourself these next few days."

"As for matters within the household, I'll leave it to you, sister-in-law, for now."

Jia Yi's gaze shifted and landed on Wang Xifeng.

Of the entire Jia family, she is the only one he truly approves of.

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

"Third brother, you can just leave. Leave the palace to me, and I'll make sure it's spotless!" Wang Xifeng said, beaming with joy.

This is a chance for Jia Yi to do something! When he returns in triumph, won't I get all the benefits?

Jia She and his mother gritted their teeth, their eyes red with rage.

They were itching to rush up and shout – We can do this too!

"Yes, Third Brother, you can rest assured."

"Your sister-in-law is an expert at managing household chores."

Jia Lian also quickly stepped forward to express his loyalty.

"Um."

Jia Yi nodded slightly.

The mandarin ducks standing to the side pouted, looking extremely aggrieved.

Why can't I manage the Prince's residence? Why should Wang Xifeng, an outsider, have to interfere?!

Jia Yi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and could easily see through her little scheme.

Yuanyang is indeed capable, but her social status makes her unsuitable for important responsibilities.

"Qing, Baochai, rest well, I'm leaving."

"Sister-in-law, please take care of everything in the manor."

"I will personally visit you to express my gratitude when I return."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, his back view clean and decisive.

Outside the Qin Prince's residence, Zhao Shizhen was distributing newly made flintlock muskets to the musketeers.

Upon seeing Jia Yi return, he immediately jogged over to him.

"Your Highness, all musketeers have been equipped with flintlock muskets."

"Ammunition is fully prepared, ready for battle at any time!" Zhao Shizhen grinned.

"good!"

"Well done!"

Jia Yi patted his shoulder heavily.

Looking up, one sees an army of 110,000, fully equipped and ready to go, with banners fluttering and an aura of killing intent.

He suddenly raised his hand and gave an order—

"Set off!!!"

The army surged like a torrent, marching south in a mighty campaign.

Inside the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin has led 110,000 new troops south."

Xia Shouzhong reported in a low voice.

"Um."

Emperor Yuankang nodded slightly.

When Jia Yi set off on his campaign, he remained completely calm—this man was as steady as Mount Tai when it came to handling affairs.

At this moment, Dai Quan rode a fast horse and galloped all the way to catch up with the army.

"Eunuch Dai, what brings you here?"

Jia Yi squinted at him.

Why is this old eunuch here, instead of serving the Emperor Emeritus?

"Your Highness, the Emperor Emeritus has sent me to deliver a message."

Dai Quan had a forced smile on his face, but his body was trembling uncontrollably.

He was genuinely scared!

If the Emperor Emeritus hadn't personally named him, he wouldn't have dared to come and see this god of death even if you beat him to death!

"Oh? What are the Emperor Emeritus's orders?"

Jia Yi raised an eyebrow.

He always held that old man in high regard.

Not only is he incredibly resilient, but his methods are also ruthless.

"Your Highness, the Emperor Emeritus only left one instruction—"

Dai Quan cleared his throat and, mimicking the tone of the retired emperor, spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Jia Yi, you must eradicate the White Lotus Sect completely this time you head south. Not even a single dog should escape alive!"

Jia Yi's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Tell the Emperor Emeritus that I have taken note."

Even without him saying it, he had already planned to leave no one alive!

After saying this, he mounted his horse, which neighed, and they set off again.

They had only taken a few steps when suddenly a fast horse came galloping towards them, kicking up dust.

"Tsk, only the retired emperor sent someone."

"Could it be that the emperor also sent someone?"

Jia Yi's face darkened, and his brows furrowed.

His expression softened slightly as the man approached.

The visitor was not a palace eunuch, but Niu Jizong's eldest son, Niu Dahao.

"Niu Dahao? What are you doing here?"

Jia Yi reined in his horse and asked.

"Your Highness, I've come to accompany you on your southern expedition!"

Niu Dahao clasped his hands in a fist salute, his eyes burning with intensity.

He knew very well that if he wanted to revitalize the Niu family, he had to achieve merit on the battlefield.

Now, Jia Yi's move south is a golden opportunity.

"Have you thought it through?"

Jia Yi asked in a deep voice, "This trip to the South is not for sightseeing."

"Even the Prince of Nan'an perished in Guangdong and Guangxi, his remains never returned."

"Your Highness."

Niu Dahao stared straight ahead, his tone as firm as iron:

"I am not afraid of death."

"I am only afraid of disgracing the name of my ancestors."

Jia Yi stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"it is good."

"You're much better than those good-for-nothings in our Jia family."

Jia Yi threw his head back and laughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell.

Niu Dahao's face flushed red, and he was startled.

Even the prince looks down on the Jia family?

Jia family: Achoo! Who's gossiping behind my back?

"In that case, you shall come with me."

"Don't disgrace the family name."

Jia Yi said in a deep voice.
