Chapter 314: Request to Send the Changling Army North


Jiangbei Camp.

This place is over three thousand li from the Capital City, close to Jiangnan, the most prosperous and fertile land. Most importantly, the Changling Army is stationed here.

That's right, the renowned and formidable Changling Army.

Most of the time, King of Changlin is also here rather than in the Capital City.

Now, Su Yuwei has traveled three thousand li and has finally arrived at Jiangbei Camp.

"Commandery Princess?!"

The soldiers stationed outside the camp naturally recognized the beloved daughter of the Prince and hurriedly saluted, inviting Su Yuwei into the camp.

"Commandery Princess, what brings you here?"

Moments later, a Deputy General, having heard the news, stepped forward with some concern and asked, "Has something happened?"

"Where is Father?"

Without any intention of exchanging pleasantries, Su Yuwei asked directly.

"The Prince is in the central tent."

Seeing that Su Yuwei's expression was not quite right, the Deputy General dared not ask further and quickly replied.

As they spoke, they led Luo Qingxuan to the large tent where King of Changlin was.

"Yuwei? Why are you here?"

Upon looking up, the King of Changlin saw his beloved daughter, showing a hint of joy on his face as he stood up with a smile and said.

However, before he could walk over, he saw his daughter kneel directly to the ground.

"Father, may I ask you for something?"

In an instant, the King's expression turned solemn, a sharp glint flashing in his tiger-like eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Did someone bully you? Tell your father, no matter who it is, I will surely stand up for you!"

He knew his daughter too well. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been extremely strong and had rarely asked him for anything since she became sensible.

Even when the Empress and King of Changlin discussed the possibility of marrying her to Prince Yu, she only chose to enter the Judgment Department to seek a way to refuse, never asking her father.

Because Su Yuwei herself was well aware of the significant impact that refusing this marriage could cause, she didn't want to make things difficult for her father.

Yet now, she had traveled three thousand li, and upon meeting, she knelt before him.

This made the King of Changlin feel a terrifying murderous intent rising in his heart.

If someone truly bullied his daughter, no matter who it was, he would spare no effort to seek justice for her.

"I request the Changling Army to march north into the Northern Domain to kill Yuan Shouyi and annihilate the Deserters!"

Raising her head, Su Yuwei answered word by word.

Upon hearing Su Yuwei's words, the King furrowed his brows immediately, a request he never anticipated.

"Why?"

After several moments of silence, the King asked in a deep voice.

He was aware of the Deserter invasion in the Northern Domain, but how was it related to his daughter?

The relationship between the Changling Army and the Court was very delicate. At this time, mobilizing the Changling Army northward without the emperor's order could easily arouse suspicion. Moreover, the Changling Army could not stay in the Northern Domain; they must retreat even after repelling the Deserters, which offers no benefit.

If anyone else had made this request, they would have been beheaded by the King long ago.

"Revenge!"

Faced with the King, Su Yuwei had no intention of hiding, calmly stating these two words.

She offered no further explanation.

This time, the King of Changlin remained silent for a full hundred breaths before suddenly shouting, "Gao Hongliang!"

Moments later, a general in armor strode into the tent, bowing to salute, "Here, Your Grace!"

"Convey my military orders: mobilize one hundred thousand Changling Army to march north, with you personally leading the army, following the Commandery Princess's orders!"

With a hint of ferocity in his eyes, the King of Changlin said coldly.

"At your command!"

Without hesitation, Gao Hongliang immediately clasped his fists in acceptance.

In the Changling Army, the King of Changlin was as revered as the heavens. Not to mention marching north; even if assaulting the Capital City were ordered, they wouldn't blink an eye.

Watching Gao Hongliang turn and leave to rally the troops, Su Yuwei instantly burst into tears like rain.

Before coming, she had anticipated being rejected by her father, questioned about her motives, or even preparing to agree to any conditions or beg for this chance with her life, but none of it happened.

Merely two words were enough for the King to order troop mobilization without hesitation, even instructing the Changling Army to follow all her commands.

This trust and indulgence made Su Yuwei feel both warmth and sadness.

"Silly child, why cry?"

Pulling his daughter into a hold, raising Su Yuwei up, the King patted her head, laughing, "You've never asked for anything since you were little. Since you asked this time, no matter what you want, Father will get it for you!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"What thanks, go change and rest. Have dinner with Father tonight. Tomorrow morning, you can lead the troops north!"

Ruffling her hair with a smile, the King affectionately said.

Having traveled three thousand li with sadness confined in her heart, Su Yuwei was indeed exhausted. Seeing her father agree to send the troops, her heart eased, and that fatigue washed over her, causing her to faint into the King's arms.

With a pained look in his eyes, the King gently picked up his daughter, placing her in the rear tent, instructing someone to fetch a maid to care for her, before he turned and left the tent.

"Someone, investigate everything that has happened in the Northern Domain recently, leaving no stone unturned!"

With a chilling glint in his eyes, the King instructed again, "Also, find out all the information about Yuan Shouyi!"

"Yes!"

Scripture Repository.

Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan came down from the rooftop without anyone mentioning what just happened.

However, Elder Qiu took out a scroll, gently opening a page, immediately forming a space in the void, saying softly, "Within the book lies a world of wonder. This is a book-formed spatial realm created by me. Though not vast, it's enough for your cultivation."

Although Elder Qiu claimed he couldn't fight, he was indeed a Saint Realm Powerhouse. Such spatial-creating techniques were extremely mysterious; even Luo Bingyun could not help but be moved.

Though she was not of the Saint Realm, she was very familiar with Saint Realm Powerhouses' methods. Throughout the world, few could open spaces independently, letting others enter. Such a skill seemed less like a contemporary technique, more like that of ancient powerhouses… Alongside the Life and Death Contract scroll, also of ancient origin, one couldn't help but suspect Elder Qiu's identity, or perhaps his heritage!

This Elder Qiu surely harbored considerable secrets.

Though the other party didn't wish to speak, she naturally found it hard to inquire.

However, it seemed the other party harbored no ill intent, so without much hesitation, Luo Bingyun first stepped into this space.

In the next moment, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan also followed in.
