”Yes, your servant will go right away.”

At this moment, Cheng Hui was waiting for his daughter at home. However, before she could ask the emperor what he wanted her to do, she heard the order from a eunuch and announced that she had entered the palace to see the emperor.

Cheng Huaiye looked doubtfully at Cheng Zi Yuan beside him. Before he could say anything, he heard her say to him, ”Father, go quickly. If you need anything, wait until you return.”

Her words made him suppress the doubts in his heart. After kneeling down to receive the decree, he said to Zi Yuan, ”Un! Rest well at home, Violet Garden. I'll have a nice chat with you when I get back. ” Cheng Huaiye greeted his daughter and immediately followed the eunuch to the emperor's side.

”Your majesty, I wonder what orders you have for this old subject now?” Cheng Huaiye looked at Helian respectfully and said.

”Teacher, there's no need to be so polite. It's better to just call me Helian.” Helian saw that Cheng Huaiye had arrived and said respectfully. Helian knew that being the father of a master for a day was something Helian knew. Moreover, he was taught by Cheng Huaiye, and as the emperor, he could put on airs in front of others.

”Hehe, it's good that the emperor is considerate. Right now, the emperor is in the middle of spring and autumn. This old subject is still an official.” Although Cheng Huai was a bit pedantic, he was very sincere to the royal family. And when Helian saw this, he was very confident that Cheng Huai could handle the matters of the court for him.

”Teacher is too polite. Helian said it directly. After all, you and I don't need to beat around the bush either.” Helian looked at his teacher and said these words of courtesy. Then, he went straight to the point.

”Yes, this old official listens.”

”Teacher, I assume that you've also received the news that the Western Legion will be heading straight for our Northern Yue territory.” ”Teacher, what do you think we should do?” Helian did not directly say that he wanted Chengye to help him manage the court affairs. Instead, he suddenly asked about this matter.

”According to this old official's foolish opinion, there are still some bandits in the country of Northern Yue. However, since the three men from the Xi Men family are dead now, I believe that the reactionaries in the country of Northern Yue can quiet down for a while. It is precisely because the traitor that was planted in the country of Northern Yue has been eliminated that the West Li Empire is in such a hurry to march north.”

”Teacher is indeed a teacher, but my thoughts are the same as mine.” When Helian saw that Cheng Huaiye was thinking the same thing as him, he was impressed. His teacher was indeed extraordinary. In fact, wasn't Helian the one who was taught by Cheng Huaiye?

”Hehe, your majesty praises me.” ”Presumably, the Emperor has already made his decision.” When Cheng Huaiye saw Helian's praise of him, he was overjoyed.

Just as teacher has said, now that the West Li Country has been forced to such an extent, we naturally do not lack outstanding men. Why do we need to be stuck here feeling wronged like this? When his words reached this point, the Emperor's Qi exuded from Helian's body once again. Surprisingly, a wave of killing intent was felt even by Cheng Huaiye who was standing opposite of him. Before Cheng Huaiye could reply, Helian continued speaking.

Teacher said earlier that the West Li Country has already been exposed because of the spy planted in our Northern Yue City. Therefore, the people that they have been preparing here for so many years should not be completely clear about the situation in an instant.

”Then what does the emperor plan to do? According to what this old official has seen, someone still needs to control the political affairs of the imperial court.” When Cheng Huaiye heard Helian say this, he naturally understood that Helian himself was about to set off for the battle. At this moment, Helian Lie was worried that some of the reactionaries in the imperial court would continue to cause chaos after he left.

”Haha, teacher is a smart person, there's no need for me to say too much. I am prepared to appoint teacher to represent me in the imperial court. I wonder if you would be willing to do so.” Helian looked at his teacher and finally expressed the intention to call him over. If it was anyone else, the emperor's order would have been given to anyone who dared to act. Even the emperor being so considerate would have moved Helian Lie's heart greatly, and he blurted out the words.

”This old official accepts the decree!”
