Ji Youzhi stared at him. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Who am I? Lord God Hunter! National Master, you must believe in my case-handling abilities!"
The National Master ignored him, whispering instead, "That old undying fellow from Nanjiang—weren’t his days said to be numbered? They’re already selecting a successor. How does he still have the energy to come to our Great Han?"
The little Emperor rubbed his hands eagerly. "If the Great Wizard from Nanjiang dares to sneak into my Great Han Country, I’ll immediately order the deployment of three hundred thousand troops and kill him!"
The National Master merely glanced at him faintly upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, is the main point right now simply that the Great Wizard from Nanjiang has infiltrated the land of our Great Han? The main point is that they’ve kidnapped over forty of our children and erected an Altar on our border. They intend to steal our Dragon Vein and subvert the destiny of our Great Han!"
"Right, right, right! Nanjiang is too audacious. Daring to covet the destiny of our Great Han—do they have a death wish?! I shall issue an order now: General Xu is to lead an army of three hundred thousand and immediately strike their royal court’s stronghold in Nanjiang!"
The National Master silently pressed his hand to his forehead. It’s like talking to a brick wall.
Ji Youzhi gazed silently at the sky. The little Emperor was commendable in all aspects, except for his constant desire for war. It wasn’t for any other reason than to expand the territory of Great Han.
"Your Majesty, Nanjiang has already erected the Altar and captured the children. The auspicious day ordained by the Celestial Dao is tomorrow. If you issue the command now, can you still gather an army of three hundred thousand in time?" Ji Youzhi spoke with extraordinary patience, finally managing to pull the little Emperor, who was so eager to wage war and expand territory, back from his excitement.
"What? Tomorrow? So soon?" The little Emperor finally grasped the gravity of the situation.
The National Master looked at Ji Youzhi incredulously. "You just said that tomorrow is the auspicious day ordained by the Celestial Dao. How did you know? As far as I am aware, Lord God Hunter does not possess the Celestial Observation Technique, correct?"
"National Master, the priority now is how to capture the Great Wizard from Nanjiang and his accomplices in one fell swoop when they arrive, thoroughly eradicating any future threat! This is not the time for you to investigate how I know this or that. You should be aware, my title as Divine Hunter Ji Youzhi was not earned for nothing."
The National Master paused. That seems reasonable.
The Little Emperor said, "Youzhi is right. National Master, I’ve also heard of the Great Wizard of Nanjiang’s capabilities. Are you confident you can kill him with a single strike when he begins his ritual?"
The National Master was silent. He desperately wanted to say yes, that His Majesty could rest assured. However, the Great Wizard of Nanjiang had countless more years of experience than him!
"This subject will exert every effort to ensure he makes a one-way trip," the National Master declared. Then, before the Emperor or Ji Youzhi could speak, he added, "Your Majesty, this subject has some urgent matters and must step out for a while!"
The Emperor waved his hand. "Go!"
The National Master entrusted the little Emperor’s safety to Ji Youzhi, only then departing with peace of mind.
Ji Youzhi did not stay to protect the little Emperor; the Emperor naturally had his shadow guards and Death Warriors for protection during outings. He made an excuse and returned to his room. Just as he had washed up and tidied his quarters, there was a knock on the door.
When the door opened, an old man with a scarred face stood outside!
Ji Youzhi observed the old man, sizing him up from head to toe. His brows furrowed slightly. The man exuded a strangely familiar aura. "May I ask, old sir, why are you knocking on this young one’s door?"
Seeing Ji Youzhi’s expression, the old man couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. "HA HA HA! Aren’t you the Divine Hunter? What? You don’t recognize your elder brother, me?"
Upon hearing the man’s voice, Ji Youzhi’s face lit up, and he immediately began to survey his surroundings.
"Stop looking. I’ve already checked. Someone’s keeping an eye on this Inn, so I came in disguise."
