Chapter 69

Qin Yue was taken aback and said, "Three people? Which three?"

The others were also stunned for a moment, then perked up their ears.

Li Yunxiao extended his first finger and said, "The first one is the person leading the troops. I naturally don't have the qualifications to impress the big shots in the military, but apart from the old man, there is one other person who can." He smiled and said, "Although we can't completely cure him right now, as long as he stays by my side and takes the pills regularly, there's no problem in restoring him to his peak condition!"

Li Chunya's spirit was greatly shaken, and he exclaimed with joy, "You, you really found a way?"

Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "I have refined some Mystic Fire Pills that can suppress the cold poison in his body for a short time. Then, using the most yang and powerful true qi to heal him, he can fully recover to his peak condition without any impact."

Li Chunya's eyes shot out a sharp light, his eyes turning red, and he rejoiced, "That's great, that's great!"

Qin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are the Duke of Jing and Young Master Yun talking about?"

Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "The one who followed the old man to open up new territories, burned the three thousand miles of the Hundred Kingdoms, and was posthumously honored as the Duke of Loyalty and Valor after his 'death'—Chen Dasheng!"

"Chen Dasheng, the Duke of Loyalty and Valor?"

Qin Yue was surprised and said, "Isn't he already dead? He died in the last Kingdom Ranking War."

Li Chunya's gaze gradually turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Back then, the emperor sent Chen Dasheng to participate in that damned Kingdom Ranking War to break up the people around me. Chen Dasheng barely survived and returned to the capital, but was betrayed that night! If I hadn't discovered it in time, he would have really died! And after the emperor posthumously honored Chen Dasheng as the Duke of Loyalty and Valor, he reduced the Chen family's rank by one level. Heh heh..."

Qin Yue was startled, suddenly feeling the cold aura and the chilling laugh from Li Chunya, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Father, you are mistaken, you are mistaken! To treat loyal and important ministers like this! Once I ascend the throne, I will definitely restore the Chen family's rank!"

"Humph!"

Li Chunya coldly snorted and said, "Later, I replaced Chen Dasheng with a death row inmate and announced to the outside world that he had died. In fact, he has been recuperating in our Li family's secret chamber, but over the years, he has become increasingly unable to hold on."

Bai Mou's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Is General Chen's injury related to Commander Xiao...?"

"Exactly!" Li Chunya said solemnly, "It's that Yi Xiaoshan's Ice True Qi!"

Qin Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily, "Since the Duke of Loyalty and Valor can re-emerge, there should be no problem with the commander!"

Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said, "Since Commander Bai knows that Commander Xiao Qingwang was also injured by Ice True Qi, you should know who the second person I'm talking about is, right?"

Bai Mou said softly, "Young Master Yun is truly a genius of the ages, even having a way to suppress Ice True Qi. If Commander Xiao follows, there will be no obstacles, and they will be invincible! I am very curious, with Chen Dasheng and Commander Xiao, we can already support Kunjin City. Who is the third person Young Master Yun is talking about?"

Li Yunxiao said calmly, "Naturally, it's Prince Yue's teacher, the Martial King Zhongli Shan!"

Qin Yue was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible! Although my teacher supports me on the surface, he will never get involved in state affairs, unless the armies of the Hundred Kingdoms besiege the city, he might take action."

Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "I'm not asking him to take action. Has Prince Yue forgotten the disaster that happened in Tianshui Kingdom sixty years ago?"

Qin Yue was stunned, "You mean..."

Sixty years ago, the current king, Qin Zheng, was just a prince. At that time, a rebellion broke out in the south, and the rebels directly attacked the capital. All the armies were utterly defeated and could not stop them.

At that moment, the then president of Jialan Academy mobilized the students to form a student army to fight against the rebels. Not only did they save the capital from crisis, but they also fought for three thousand miles, directly driving the rebel forces back to the south, and ultimately dispersing them.

It was from that time that Qin Zheng's father, the then king, bestowed the title of "National Guardian Divine Warriors" on that batch of students.

This was the earliest origin of the National Guardian Divine Warriors.

Li Yunxiao said, "Now it's the holiday, and the academy has already started organizing students to sign up for holiday training missions. Prince Yue should know that the danger level of the academy's training missions is no less than going to Kunjin City. If this mission is directly changed to supporting Kunjin City, with double the rewards..."

"Great idea!"

Qin Yue was overjoyed and said, "Young Master Yun is indeed wise and resourceful! If we mobilize the academy's students, we will have a large number of martial masters, martial warriors, and martial apprentices! Such an army can hold its own against a hundred!"

Li Yunxiao murmured, "Almost all the strong people in Tianshui Kingdom come from Jialan Academy. Prince Yue can personally mobilize the students and gather all the martial artists from recent years. This will be the foundation of the country in the future. Not only that, but the academy's teachers will lead the way, and the lowest rank among them is a great martial master. To suppress the Ice True Qi in Commander Xiao Qingwang and Chen Dasheng's bodies, Luo Yunshang must also go with the army. Luo Yunshang is a genuine martial king."

Everyone was greatly shocked. Li Yunxiao's move was truly brilliant, not only bringing in a powerful team but also directly making all the future martial artists of the country join Prince Yue's ranks. These are the pillars of the country!

Bai Mou's eyes also flickered, and he praised, "With Luo Yunshang as the commander of the student army, this team is even stronger than a squad of National Guardian Divine Warriors!"

Li Yunxiao's gaze focused, and he smiled lightly, "Commander Xiao's injuries are getting worse, and his control over the National Guardian Divine Warriors is now tenuous. Gao Feng's squad supports the Crown Prince, Bai's three squads support Prince Yue. The other three squads are also divided. But as long as Martial King Xiao returns, who would dare not follow? Prince Yue, with the only three martial kings in Tianshui Kingdom on your side, how can you not win?"

"Three martial kings?" Qin Yue's eyes widened, and he was taken aback, "Who is the other one?"

Bai Mou's pupils constricted, and he looked at Li Chunya in shock, exclaiming, "Could it be the Duke of Jing..."

"Ha ha," Li Chunya laughed heartily, "It's this old man, who has already entered the Five Elements Realm." He looked at Li Yunxiao with full admiration, feeling greatly comforted. All the strategies his grandson had analyzed were brilliant, and it seemed that Qin Yue would surely win.

Everyone was stunned and speechless. Qin Yue quickly bent down and bowed, overjoyed, "Congratulations, Duke of Jing!"

The others also did not dare to be presumptuous and, except for Li Yunxiao, all stood up to pay their respects.

A martial king in the Five Elements Realm is the strongest combat force of a country, ranking above ten thousand people. Even when meeting the king, they do not need to bow. On the contrary, the king treats each martial king with great respect.

"Ha ha, no need for such formalities!"

Li Chunya was very pleased to see his grandson's bravery and wisdom. He no longer concealed his aura, which instantly spread out, exerting a master's pressure on everyone's hearts. Except for Li Yunxiao, everyone was shaken and drenched in cold sweat.

Bai Mou and Ji Meng had the highest cultivation, and their feelings were the most profound. This Li Chunya is truly a martial king!

Qin Yue felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky, almost knocking him out, and he burst into laughter. He walked forward, grabbed Li Yunxiao's hand, and said affectionately, "Young Master Yun is truly my Qin Yue's savior. If I can ascend the throne one day, it will be thanks to Young Master Yun. Today, I wish to form a brotherhood with Young Master Yun. In the future, we will share prosperity and adversity. What do you think, Young Master Yun?"

Li Chunya's eyes lit up, knowing that Qin Yue's actions were also due to his advancement to martial king. But if Yunxiao could form a brotherhood with him, the Li family's future glory would be beyond words.

Bai Mou also nodded slightly, agreeing with Qin Yue's actions. Li Yunxiao was indeed a talent worth pulling in.

Li Yunxiao was taken aback, then pulled his hand back, and said awkwardly, "This, this, let's talk about it later..."

What?!

Everyone was stunned, thinking they had heard wrong, and all stared with wide eyes and perked ears.

Qin Yue was also stunned on the spot. As the prince and future king, wanting to form a brotherhood with a teenager was a great honor, something that millions of subjects could only dream of. The other party actually declined? He was completely unprepared and stood there dumbfounded.

Jia Rong's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and he admired Li Yunxiao even more, shouting in his heart: No wonder Young Master Yun is my idol!

Ji Meng was also stunned, then his eyes were full of admiration.

Li Chunya, after a moment of shock, was even more delighted. He finally realized that a small Tianshui Kingdom could not possibly hold his grandson.

He thought to himself: This kid has always been so deeply hidden, probably with the intention of leaving Tianshui Kingdom long ago, so he didn't care about worldly affairs. Now, due to the situation, he has finally revealed himself. Humph, if it weren't for such a major event like a change of dynasty, this kid would probably continue to pretend to be foolish!

Bai Mou also swallowed his saliva and quickly helped Qin Yue out of the awkward situation, saying, "Young Master Yun truly prioritizes the country's affairs. At this time of internal and external troubles, personal glory and disgrace should not be considered. No wonder Prince Yue is so respectful and eager to form a brotherhood. Let's wait until the great matter is accomplished and the prince ascends the throne to form the brotherhood."

Qin Yue's face was dark and uncertain, and he said, "Commander Bai is right. Young Master Yun is truly a rare genius. I am too eager to form a brotherhood
