Chapter 1019 (Departure)
Ye Hua lowered his head to look at his younger brother, also patting his chest. Then, with a slight pressure of his legs, he headed towards the imperial palace.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Ye Hua felt that it couldn\'t compare to his own palace, lacking in style and prestige. Today was departure day, and all civil and military officials were coming to bid farewell. After all, this was the largest-scale battle in history! It couldn\'t be underestimated or taken lightly.
Entering the palace, Ye Hua had a stern expression, as if everyone owed him money. But no matter how stern Ye Hua looked, everyone had to address him properly.
"Prince Ye." At this moment, Huang Li approached Ye Hua, seemingly greeting him, they had already formed an alliance.
Huang Li was dressed in a silver suit of armour, similar to Ye Hua\'s style, with the only difference being the dragon decoration on his shoulders.
Although it was a small detail, it highlighted the gap between the royal family and outsiders.
Ye Hua casually said, "Crown Prince, you look in good spirits today."
"Thanks to Prince Ye\'s blessings, I slept quite well." Huang Li appeared very low-key, a trait that satisfied Ye Hua. When seeking help, one should have the right attitude. If you seek help and act as if it\'s a matter of course, Ye Hua would respond with a slap.Ye Hua nodded, and those walking nearby noticed that Huang Ye and the Crown Prince seemed to have formed an alliance.
This time, the Ninth Prince had gained the upper hand. If the Crown Prince could turn the tables, it would make an interesting show.
The competition for the position of the Crown Prince was about to turn into a bloody struggle, showcasing the importance of the imperial throne.
Gradually, it became a kind of tradition.
During the departure for military campaigns, the assembly was not held in the main hall but outside the main hall.
From afar, Ye Hua could see something shiny.
Huang Yun dressed like this for the battlefield. Were you afraid others wouldn\'t know you were the leader? It was truly showing off.
"Do you not want to go up there?" Ye Hua asked quietly.
Huang Li looked a bit embarrassed and whispered, "Only the commander goes up there."
"Then you\'ll have to work harder, strive to get up there as soon as possible. That\'s when it will feel comfortable," Ye Hua advised.
"With Prince Ye\'s assistance, it is certainly possible," Huang Li replied respectfully, careful not to offend this powerful figure. The outcome of this campaign largely depended on him.
Ye Hua chuckled and fell silent, and Huang Li followed suit.
Ye Hua became silent because he noticed Qian Yi approaching.
As for Qian Yi, Ye Hua was a bit unsure. He planned to leave this enemy aside for now and deal with it after giving it some thought.
Qian Yi was indeed a bit troublesome, being the father of Qian Yuqing. His luck was extraordinary.
If Ye Hua had known earlier, he would have directly dealt with him.
Then, he would have become a man who killed his wife\'s father. Ye Hua truly had no qualms about committing any misdeeds.
It felt great, thrilling.
Various deceptions to his wife.
Today, Qian Yuqing did not come. To be precise, there was no woman present.
During this military campaign, women represented an unknown danger, so the presence of women was prohibited.
Even in the Spirit City, there was a phenomenon of male dominance over females.
Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky. Ye Hua squinted his eyes to see the golden light, finding the Emperor\'s entrance style outdated and lacking in grandeur.
"All hail the Emperor!" All the courtiers kneeled, but Ye Hua remained standing.
"Rise," Huang Fei waved his hand vigorously, displaying grandeur. However, upon seeing Ye Hua, he felt displeased.
\'So many people kneeled, yet you alone don\'t kneel, as if not giving face! If it weren\'t for the previous promise, you, with your refusal to kneel, would have provided me with ten thousand reasons to get rid of you. No need for other plans.\'
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Huang Fei surveyed the crowd and then sternly shouted, "This time, as Demon Capital invades, we must show them how much it costs to provoke a sleeping lion!"
"All hail Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"
Huang Fei had grown tired of these flattering words.
"Let it begin!" Huang Fei said indifferently.
The eunuch standing on the side took a step forward and croaked, "Offering to the heavens!"
Ye Hua was a bit puzzled. Did this divine emperor also believe in heaven? It was truly surprising. Did they have to find something to worship? This was too extraordinary.
As Ye Hua suspected, it was just the emperor offering to the heavens.
Ye Hua really wanted to say, "Why offer to the heavens? Why not just worship me?"
After waiting for a short moment, Huang Fei finally finished the ritual, and Ye Hua felt like he was about to fall asleep. If this continued, he wouldn\'t have the patience, and a fight might break out at any moment.
"Bless Spirit! Bless the City!" Huang Fei opened his arms, and a fan-shaped golden light radiated behind him, looking intimidating.
With Huang Fei\'s words, everyone shouted loudly, "Bless Spirit! Bless the City!"
Ye Hua sneered inwardly. \'Shouting was of no use; why did you just worship the heavens? It was truly unnecessary.\'
At this moment, a palace maid came forward holding a commander\'s seal. Huang Yun standing beside him was very excited. This was the commander\'s seal!
Huang Fei raised the commander\'s seal, holding it high!
Vaguely, a dragon roar could be heard, and Ye Hua was a little surprised. This commander\'s seal turned out to be an ancient artifact.
Huang Fei held the commander\'s seal in front of Huang Yun and said solemnly, "Return with victory!"
"And I shall obey!" Huang Yun kneeled on one knee, holding his hands up high.
Huang Fei placed the commander\'s seal in his son\'s hands.
Huang Yun slowly stood up, raising the commander\'s seal with both hands.
"For victory!"
"For victory!"
All the civil and military officials shouted together, boosting their morale a bit. Anyway, they weren\'t the ones going to the battlefield; they could shout a few slogans.
Ye Hua felt that if Qian Yi also went to the battlefield, it would be a good opportunity. Unfortunately, he didn\'t.
"The auspicious time has arrived!" The eunuch shouted loudly.
Huang Yun descended the steps, then looked at Ye Hua and Huang Li.
Ye Hua turned right and surprisingly passed Huang Yun.
This shocked everyone. The commander was the most important! Ye Hua knew it too, but he calculated that they wouldn\'t dare to speak up!
\'What if I walk in front? Do you have the guts to say no? Even Huang Yun behind you doesn\'t dare to openly object.\'
Huang Yun really didn\'t dare to object. Nowadays, every move in the imperial palace could spread rumours. Ye Hua, as the "elder," walking in front seemed reasonable. If he protested, it might be rumoured that he didn\'t respect the elder. Huang Fei saw it too, but he didn\'t say anything because this was the last time he would see Ye Hua!
\'Let him be arrogant for a while. It didn\'t matter. It\'s not like he would have the chance to be this unruly with a dead person again!\'
