"Lord Ye, even if you serve as the commander of the army on the right, you don't have to do anything. It's a great achievement. The big deal is to leave the command to Feng Qingyun. This battle must be won. After you win, you can go back to Tiancheng. Isn't it better?"

Ye Wudao laughed, "Then what position do you think I can take? How will the Holy One reward me then?"

"I don't know, but your power must be equal to that of the Shangshu in the imperial court."

"Impossible." Ye Wudao shook his head, and said bluntly, "In fact, I have already sat high enough, and it is impossible to go higher. It is impossible to continue to rise in a short period of time."

"It's not that there is no chance, but because of this, I will offend many people. They will not be used to me. In the end, it is hard to guard against gossip and open and dark arrows against me."

"Even if His Highness tries his best to protect me, he may not be able to protect me."

"Master Yuexue, you must know how to advance and retreat."

Hearing this, Yue Xueshen nodded thoughtfully, "My lord is indeed powerful. You should make a choice between advancing and retreating. If you are too greedy, the higher you climb, the worse you will fall."

...

Half a day later, Ye Wudao returned to Jiuzhou Tiancheng. The teleportation array along the way was opened for him first, and all the continents he passed sent strong men to escort him.

When he set off a few days ago, he didn't have such a big ostentation, but Ye Wudao was not happy about it. He still understood the reason why the big tree attracts the wind.

If he could keep a low profile, he would still choose to keep a low profile.

Not long after, he arrived at the Six Emperors' Mansion, Ji Youlan's confidantes had already arrived, gathered in the courtyard, waiting for Ye Wudao to arrive, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Master Ye is back."

"We have heard about Master Ye's great achievements on the battlefield."

"As expected of a dragon among men!"

A voice of praise.

Ye Wudao also responded politely and said, "My lords are polite, I didn't make much contribution, and all of them depended on the blessings of your lords to make it so smooth."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone followed and took their seats. Ji Youlan was also smiling, with a happy expression on her face. Ye Wudao's mission this time was obviously very successful.

Ji Youlan said, "I have sent someone to protect Qi Ruhai's family. This matter is thanks to Liu Shangshu's eyeliner."

In the dark, Ji Youlan has already re-protected Qi Ruhai's family, and the one who 'protected' Qi Ruhai's family before was the master from the Second Queen's side.

It's not hard to imagine that when Ye Wudao was in the front, the rear wasn't as peaceful as the front, and Ji Youlan wasn't idle either, both of them were busy.

Then, everyone discussed other important things. Of course, most of these things had nothing to do with Ye Wudao, so Ye Wudao didn't speak.

Suddenly, Liu Zhenyun asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, what's going on with Liu Weiwu...?"

Ye Wudao said, "I'm afraid I still need your help. It is difficult for him to secure the position of the governor. After all, the deputy governor is a local snake, so it is difficult for him to move."

"However, I am very optimistic about him. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He will definitely become a great talent and a mainstay of your Liu family in the future!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhenyun smiled gratifiedly, "Fellow Daoist Jing has such a high opinion of him. Since you said so, I am relieved. I will do my best to help him gain a firm foothold in Beizhou."

"By the way, what do you think about the battle between the front line and Xihuang? How long will the fight be this time? Will it cost too much, and we even have to pay for it out of our own pockets?"

Hearing that they paid out of their own pockets, everyone had different expressions and thoughts in their hearts.

Although under Ji Youlan's leadership, the crowd appeared to be more united, but if their interests were truly mobilized, I am afraid that this unity would disappear in an instant. JrNovels.com
