You Wujiang!
The second person of the younger generation of the Great Tang!
At such a young age, he had already reached Lotus Seed Perfection.
At this critical juncture, with demons surrounding us and people in a panic.
What does a strong reinforcement at Lotus Seed Perfection mean?
Although for that Randeng Demon Sage about to break the seal, the Zhonglian Realm might still not be enough.
But for the situation in the various counties of the Jiangnan West Circuit, which is currently engulfed in flames and troubled by various demon kings,
Every power at the Seed Lotus level is precious!
A look of excitement flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes.
Finally!
Finally, reinforcements have arrived!
If not for his status, he would likely have stepped forward to grasp You Wujiang's hand and shed tears of old age.
However...
After everyone's gaze lingered on the golden robe-clad You Wujiang for a moment.
It shifted simultaneously to the side.
Just now...
If they hadn't seen wrong, was Lord You being carried in the hand by this girl?
And that golden escape light that tore through the firmament and traveled ten thousand miles in an instant, it seemed to have come from this girl too?
Who is she?
In the deep pit.
You Wujiang held his knees and dry-heaved twice before recovering.
When he returned to the capital earlier, he heard that Jiang Yuechu had arrived two days earlier than him, and he was puzzled.
How could this woman be so fast?
Today, he had finally seen it for himself.
Having finally calmed the surging Qi in his body.
You Wujiang straightened up, tidied his disheveled clothes, and then bowed to Lü Qinghou not far away.
"Senior Brother Lü."
Upon hearing this.
Lü Qinghou frowned tightly and said coldly: "Why aren't you staying properly in the capital preparing to break through to the Mountain Gazing Realm, and instead running here to throw your life away?"
You Wujiang smiled bitterly, then said solemnly.
"Deputy Commander Zhao has already spoken with me."
"The Jiangnan West Circuit is in imminent danger, the Demon Sage is about to emerge, and the people are suffering."
"As a golden robe Inspector of the Demon Suppression Division, since I eat the monarch's salary, I should share the monarch's worries."
"Since I know there is trouble here, how can I, Wujiang, sit peacefully in the capital and watch without interfering?!"
Lü Qinghou's expression softened slightly.
Although this Junior Brother came rashly, this innocent heart did not lose face for the Demon Suppression Division.
"Forget it."
Lü Qinghou sighed and waved his hand.
"Since you are here, join the ranks."
"It just so happens that we are in need of manpower, and your cultivation at Lotus Seed Perfection can resolve the urgent needs of those few counties."
After speaking.
Lü Qinghou's gaze shifted and finally landed on the silent Girl in Black Robes.
"Who is this..."
Upon hearing this, You Wujiang quickly turned sideways, making way for the girl behind him.
"This is the Commander of the Longyou Military Commission, a Silver Robe Inspector of the Demon Suppression Division..."
Speaking to this point, he paused.
"And she is also the current Grand Princess Zhaoyue, Your Highness!"
Grand Princess, Your Highness?!
Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Is this the Grand Princess, Your Highness, who was rumored to have been missing for sixteen years in Chang'an and finally returned to her roots?!
Such a precious branch and jade leaf, not enjoying comfort in the deep palace.
Why did she run to the Jiangnan West Circuit?!
Lü Qinghou's expression, however, became extremely ugly in an instant.
"Nonsense!"
"It's one thing for you to come, but how could you let Your Highness come to this place?!"
"Do you know what kind of place this is?"
"Once the Demon Sage emerges, let alone you, even if it were me and Junior Sister Gu, we would die without a burial place if we were not careful!"
"You brought Your Highness to such a place..."
"If anything happens to Your Highness..."
"You, You Wujiang, will not be able to atone even with ten thousand deaths!!!"
Facing Lü Qinghou's thunderous rage.
You Wujiang shrank his neck, looking full of grievance.
How was it him who brought Your Highness here?
It was clearly Your Highness who wanted to come herself!
What does it have to do with me!
But looking at Lü Qinghou's man-eating gaze, You Wujiang opened his mouth but finally swallowed his words back.
He could only wear a bitter face, lowering his head to be scolded.
Just at this moment.
A cold and clear voice slowly sounded.
"Lord Lü."
Jiang Yuechu stepped forward, her expression calm, without any fear.
"It was I who insisted on coming, it has nothing to do with him."
"Hoo..."
Lü Qinghou exhaled a breath of turbid air, forcibly suppressing the irritability in his heart.
Even though he was the Left Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, holding a high position, and even though a general in the field is not bound by the monarch's orders.
But facing this Highness, who was deeply favored by Your Majesty and was herself exceptionally talented.
He could not truly point at her nose and curse like he did when scolding You Wujiang.
"Your Highness."
Lü Qinghou bowed, his tone as gentle as possible, adding a bit of earnest persuasion.
"Your heart to serve the country is the fortune of the Great Tang."
"If it were ordinary demon trouble, and Your Highness wanted to come for training, I would naturally send people to guard you, without a second word."
"But this Jiangnan West Circuit..."
"A great demon of the Lamp Lighting Realm possesses heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities; when the time comes, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack, and we, bearing the imperial decree, will naturally fight to the death and not retreat."
"But Your Highness..."
Lü Qinghou raised his head and looked directly into Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
"You are a body of ten thousand gold, the face of the Great Tang, and even more, Your Majesty's own sister!"
"If anything happens to you here... how will Your Majesty handle it? How will the imperial court handle it?"
Speaking to this point.
Lü Qinghou bowed again, his body deeply prostrating.
"I ask Your Highness to prioritize the big picture."
"Depart immediately and return to Chang'an!"
These words.
Were spoken with both emotion and reason.
It both uplifted Jiang Yuechu's status and pointed out the stakes involved.
The surrounding Yuan Tiangang and the various generals also nodded one after another, their eyes filled with agreement.
Indeed.
The Grand Princess's status is too heavy.
Moreover, manpower is already stretched thin now; how can we spare anyone to protect Your Highness?
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Yuechu did not answer.
In a trance.
Lü Qinghou's earnest persuasion gradually overlapped with a furious voice in her memory.
...
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
The Emperor walked with his hands behind his back, his steps hurried, showing his inner anxiety.
"Wherever you want to go, I can agree to it."
"Even if you want to go to the Region again, I won't stop you."
"But that is the Jiangnan West Circuit!"
"Once that Old Demon Saint breaks the seal..."
"The suffering of the people will happen in an instant!"
Jiang Yuechu sat in the lower seat, her expression calm, just taking a light sip of tea.
"I know."
"You know nothing!"
The Emperor was also anxious and directly swore.
"Earlier, I let you go to the Region because, although the Region is bitter and cold, there is at least an old Daoist priest at the half-step Lamp Lighting Realm sitting there!"
"With him there, as long as you don't go deep into the Demon Court, it's enough to keep you safe."
"But what about the Jiangnan West Circuit?!!"
Speaking to this point, the Emperor dejectedly put down his hand, his tone revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"The Imperial Ancestor needs to sit in Chang'an to deter the world and cannot be moved easily."
"The other few at the Mountain Gazing and Lamp Lighting Realms are all unable to spare themselves."
"Now..."
The Emperor looked at Jiang Yuechu, his eyes full of helplessness.
"I cannot send anyone."
"Even for one at the Mountain Gazing Realm, I cannot spare anyone to secretly protect you."
"If you go..."
"Who will protect you?"
"Who can protect you?!"
