This time, however, he absolutely could not allow his uncle to perish in this war.
He secretly resolved to take this opportunity to give the treacherous Joan of Arc a small shock!
"Uncle, please go on your campaign with peace of mind! I will take good care of myself in the capital."
Wei Changxuan suppressed his inner worries and put on a relieved smile.
"Yes, the person I'm most worried about when I leave is you."
Wei Yuan gazed at Wei Changxuan, his eyes filled with concern and worry.
"I wielded immense power in the imperial court, and over the years I have offended countless people."
While I was around, they might have been more cautious and wouldn't have dared to easily harm you.
But if I leave this time, I'm afraid those with ill intentions will be unable to restrain themselves and will jump out to stir up trouble.
However, you don't need to worry. I have arranged for Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou to stay in the capital to protect you closely.
With these two top-tier fourth-rank martial artists around, your safety is much more assured.
Wei Changxuan was about to refuse when Wei Yuan raised his hand to stop him and continued:
"Furthermore, Emperor Yuanjing ordered me to lead the expedition."
In exchange, I have persuaded him to appoint you as the acting head of the night watchman's office.
Having witnessed your abilities that day, I am convinced that you are perfectly capable of handling this position.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
It turned out that his uncle had already paved the way for his future.
The night watchman's office had been meticulously managed by Wei Yuan for many years.
Given that Wei Changxuan had previously established his authority by killing the Zhu family father and son, taking over the reins now seemed like a natural progression.
As long as he can replace Wei Yuan as the head of the night watchmen, even if Emperor Yuanjing harbors ill intentions, he will have to be cautious and will not dare to openly attack him.
Unfortunately, my uncle could never have imagined that...
The Yuanjing Emperor who sits on the throne now is nothing more than an alter ego of the Zhende Emperor.
Its true purpose was not to suppress or exploit Wei Yuan.
Instead, the goal is to completely eliminate him and drag the fate of the Great Feng Dynasty into an endless abyss.
However, Wei Changxuan also decided that Janet would secretly protect Wei Yuan, and when the final battle began, he would go and give Empress Joan of Arc a surprise!
"Alright, I won't say any more."
You must be extremely careful in all matters in the capital.
If one encounters a situation truly difficult to handle, leaving the capital and temporarily avoiding conflict is certainly a viable option.
Wei Yuan stood up and gently patted Wei Changxuan's shoulder.
He then turned around and walked steadily toward the gate.
"Uncle! Take care!"
Wei Changxuan clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Wei Yuan's back, his voice filled with reluctance and respect.
Wei Yuan paused, waved his hand slightly, and continued resolutely toward the door without turning back.
Today, he must travel to the various military camps to muster the troops.
At the same time, it received local troops from various prefectures and cities who came to provide support.
Making final preparations for our departure early tomorrow morning.
Inside the study, Wei Changxuan watched Wei Yuan's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions and countless feelings.
But this time, he was determined to rewrite the entire battle with his own strength!
"System, begin a ten-pull!"
Wei Changxuan knew that in this critical moment fraught with danger, strength was the foundation for survival and turning the tide.
"Congratulations, host, for consuming 10,000 Shock Points and initiating a ten-pull draw!"
The system prompt sounds at the right time.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a delicacy—one hundred catties of gem meat."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 3 cases of pure mineral water!"
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired the ninjutsu—Great Fireball Technique! (Note: Activated by cosmic energy, its power can be greatly enhanced. No restrictions from the original work!)"
"Congratulations, host, on acquiring Might Guy's taijutsu—Eight Gates! (Note: The stronger your physical attributes, the greater the power it unleashes; no restrictions from the original work!)"
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the character card—Jiang Fang! (Note: The opponent's strength is that of an intermediate-level War God, with the strength of an 8th-level Apprentice!)"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 3 one-hour cultivation experience cards for the Secret Realm!"
(Note: When cultivating in a secret spatial realm, one hour outside is equivalent to one month inside!)
Looking at the three newly opened Secret Realm Cultivation Experience Cards on the system interface,
Excitement immediately shone in Wei Changxuan's eyes.
"With these three months of cultivation time in the secret realm,
With Jiang Fang, a mid-level War God, as my personal bodyguard, I feel completely confident!
"Joan of Arc, let's wait and see who has the last laugh!"
At this moment, he was filled with fighting spirit and confidence for the coming storm.
Without further hesitation, Wei Changxuan quickly took out all the prizes he had won in the lottery.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't wait to use the Secret Realm Experience Card, step into that mysterious spatial realm, and immerse himself in intense cultivation.
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, a night has passed.
The next morning, as dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight appeared.
Under the covert manipulation of Emperor Yuanjing and the Minister of War, the Earl of Pingyuan, and others, Wei Yuan is about to embark on a military expedition.
Coincidentally, today is the day that the Crown Prince, the brother of Princess Lin'an, is holding a poetry gathering.
This crown prince wanted to make his presence known to Wei Yuan, and at the same time, he also wanted to win Wei Yuan over.
They ingeniously changed the location of the poetry gathering to the city gate where Wei Yuan set off on his expedition.
At this moment, the crown prince was still completely unaware of the truth, having no idea about his nominal "father."
In reality, they harbored malicious intentions, hoping to cause Wei Yuan to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to their deaths on the battlefield.
If he had known these secrets, he probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths to win over Wei Yuan.
At dawn, the sun slowly rises, casting golden rays upon the earth.
When Wei Changxuan arrived at the city wall with Jiang Fang, Yan Lingji, Jing Ni, Xu Lingyue and other beauties, the scene before him greatly shocked him.
Outside the city walls, tens of thousands of soldiers stretched out like a long dragon, winding and turning, with no end in sight.
The area around the city wall was packed with people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
The streets were packed with people who came to see him off; the crowds were bustling and noisy.
On the city wall, talented men and beautiful women, high-ranking officials, nobles and royalty gathered to see them off and to attend the poetry gathering.
They were all dressed in fine clothes, chatting and laughing.
The distinguished scholars of Yunlu Academy also led a group of students to the event, adding a touch of elegance to the expedition and poetry gathering.
Looking at the grand and lively scene before him, Wei Changxuan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he sighed inwardly:
"Today is truly a perfect day to show off and impress everyone!"
P.S.: It will be available for purchase at midnight tonight. There will be a scheduled chapter, which is the editor's requirement. There will be no more scheduled chapters in the future.
