The war started suddenly, and it happened in Nanzhou, where the situation was complicated. For a while, when the Seventh Immortal Emperor looked for his general and glanced at the generals and marquises, no one said a word.
"At this critical moment, no one is willing to share my worries?"
The eyes of the Seventh Immortal Emperor became sharp, and it could be seen that he looked a little unhappy. After he won the complete victory in the imperial palace and the Immortal City, everyone flattered him, promoted him to a noble title, and swore to work hard for him.
And then.
But now, once something goes wrong and the situation is not good, no one is willing to stand up, which is really infuriating!
"Marquis Wei, are you willing to sweep through Nanzhou for me and wipe out the rebels?"
The eyes of the Seventh Immortal Emperor finally fell on an old man who stood first in the line of military commanders.
The old man looks to be seventy or eighty years old, but he is full of energy. At first glance, he has plenty of energy and is at least a strong cultivator who is at the level of a minor immortal or above.
"Your Majesty, I have caught a cold today and have been infected by a virus. I am in poor health. I am overwhelmed but unable to do anything. I am afraid that I will fail to live up to your majesty's great trust... cough cough."
While speaking, Wei Hou coughed twice to show that he was really sick.
A sneer appeared on the corner of the Seventh Immortal Emperor's mouth. With a cultivation level of Wei Hou's, it would not be that easy to be infected by wind and cold.
This old guy, please keep this in mind! When I deal with the traitors, I will deal with you bunch of worms! The Seventh Immortal Emperor looked at him with anger and thought viciously in his heart.
However, Wei Hou can be regarded as a veteran of two dynasties, and he is very senior in the Immortal Dynasty. The seventh Immortal Emperor who has just ascended the throne is not stupid enough to touch him.
The Seventh Immortal Emperor sighed and said: "My dear friends, do you just want me to conquer Nanzhou personally?" Seeing that no one spoke, the Seventh Immortal Emperor said again: "I can guarantee that who can win the victory in Nanzhou for me?
, be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, be promoted to a higher rank, and never break your promise!"
I thought that with such a huge reward, someone would step forward. But the Seventh Immortal Emperor was disappointed once again.
He is indeed in a dilemma now. Yang Qi has passed the tribulation, and his cultivation level is not enough; and the few powerful people he is closest to, the Little Immortal and the Great Immortal, have been sent to guard various places and cannot get out for a while.
In Xiandu City, the Seventh Immortal Emperor has no real confidants except the imperial army. These master generals in the court are all weak-minded guys. Even if they are sent out, they will most likely not risk their lives to fight against them.
The Fire Eagle Legion battles.
Isn't it possible to choose a decent general now?
The Seventh Immortal Emperor was angry, annoyed, and disappointed.
But at this moment, Lei Ren, who was standing at the end of the line of generals, stood up and said, "If your Majesty trusts you, I will lead the troops to Nanzhou!"
Lei Ren stood up and everyone immediately looked at him.
Suddenly, there was a burst of disdain and disdain from the people around him.
Which person in the court is not above the level of Immortal? Here, all of these people are princes and nobles, with extremely high status and background.
As for Lei Ren, they are just common people who know the background of Lei Ren. They also know that Lei Ren comes from a low-level place like Liudao. Therefore, no one in the court is willing to say a word to Lei Ren. They are nobles.
Naturally, he didn't take Thunder Blade seriously either.
Almost everyone knew that if Lei Ren hadn't appeared in the Forbidden Army formation in time on that day and led the Forbidden Army to Chongwen Hall to rescue them, his identity and qualifications would have made it absolutely impossible for him to be named a general.
This is a world where class and status are extremely important. Lei Ren is neither a noble nor does he come from a family of powerful cultivators. Even if he is a general, no one thinks highly of him.
Even when the eunuch arranged his position, he was placed at the bottom. He completely ignored the fact that Lei Ren was General Huben and was slightly higher than some people in the court.
Therefore, when the entire court was silent, Lei Ren stood up and took the initiative to ask for help. Naturally, he was filled with contempt and disdain.
"Haha, General Lei is really eager to make meritorious deeds. Have you ever fought in a war?"
"Humph, you've only been a general for half a year, and now you can't hold back anymore?"
"You're just a little immortal in your early stages of cultivation. I'm afraid you don't have the confidence to speak up in this court, right?"
"With so many of us senior people not speaking up, how can it be your turn to speak out? Go back!"
"I entrust him with the lives of 20,000 soldiers. I don't think he will rescue Nanzhou, but harm Nanzhou!"
…
Everyone looked down upon Lei Ren, a civilian general.
It can be said that in the entire court, there are no more than three people who were born as commoners but have cultivated to the level of Little Immortal and are able to become famous here, including Lei Ren.
In this world where superiority and inferiority are extremely obvious, there has always been a dispute between noble generals and civilian generals in the Fairy Dynasty.
Naturally, General Pingming has never been able to gain the upper hand, and he is extremely unpopular in the court.
Lei Ren took the initiative to ask for a fight, which directly attracted firepower, causing the noble generals to ridicule him.
Lei Ren ignored these people. These guys were just useless people. He would not know anything about them.
Lei Ren stood up and looked directly at the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
The decision-making power lies in the hands of the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
Lei Ren's initiative to ask for a fight was beyond the expectations of the Seventh Immortal Emperor. He did not expect that Lei Ren would be so proactive.
But when he thought about it, he remembered that with Ye Qingshuang in his hands, the Thunder Blade would not be able to do anything unless he gave up his life.
"He is a personal choice, but..."
The Seventh Immortal Emperor looked at Lei Ren, feeling a little hesitant in his heart. After all, it was about leading troops to fight, and asked: "Thunder Blade, do you have any experience in leading troops to fight?"
Lei Ren hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "In the world of cultivation, there is not yet..."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the people in the court burst into laughter.
"Hmph, a guy who talks about war on paper dares to ask for a fight?"
"The Fire Eagle Legion has 100,000 people, and you have 20,000 people. Including Raging Fire City, there are only about 70,000 people. We have no actual combat experience. If you can win, I will write my name backwards!"
"Your Majesty is wise and will never send such a rookie out."
In short, no matter what Lei Ren said to those who were hostile, they would be ridiculed.
It is true that Lei Ren has no experience in leading troops in the world of cultivation, but on the Six Islands, he showed off his power and made Qingzhu Island famous among the Six Islands, becoming a big celebrity on the Six Islands.
Going a little further, when he was on earth, he was also the king of mercenaries. Not to mention ancient wars, but also all kinds of modern wars, Thunder Blade could handle them with ease.
"These guys, huh, soon, I will use my military exploits to slap your faces hard!"
Lei Ren looked at the faces of those in the court, gritted his teeth and made a determined decision.
