Zhongli ignored his father's dissuasion and continued, "Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to forgive Ling Xi and leave it to you."

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhongli and said, "Zhongli, do you know what you are talking about? You dare to propose conditions to me?"

Zhong Yun looked at the emperor's anger and repeatedly turned his face to Zhongli, signaling Zhongli not to say anything more.

He didn't understand in his heart how could his son, who had always been sensible, be so ignorant today.

"Your Majesty, Ling Xi has not made any mistakes, nor has she endangered the people. Is it too hasty to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice like this?" Zhongli straightened his body straightened and said loudly.

"Random!" The emperor stared at him, extremely angry, shouting sternly, "Who gave you the courage to contradict me like this! The human race and the demon race have always been enemies! They must be eliminated when they meet, so how can they forgive me?"

"I think that your father has worked hard and made great contributions, and I will not pursue your fault. I will hand her over to the Ministry of Justice, and you and your father will retreat."

"Your Majesty...My..." Zhong Yun saw the emperor angry and wanted to defend his son, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"My dear, you are the right prime minister of the court and my right arm. How could your son be so ignorant?"

The emperor shook his head and said, looking regretful.

"Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty is the wise ruler of the world. Although the hatred between me and the demon clan has been long, it is not unsolvable. I also heard that in the northern Lu Kingdom, there are also people who are looking at the demon clans living together, so that the locals can live in peace with them. Since they have not hurt our subjects, why should your Majesty be killed?" Zhongli did not give in. Although he was not familiar with the emperor, all the information he heard from his father over the years made him confident that he could convince the other party.

"Hmph, it has not harmed the subjects? Then I ask you, do you know what happened today?" The emperor said sneeringly.

"I know, but this is not what Ling Xi does. Why should Your Majesty take his anger on her?" Zhong Li argued with reason.

"Since you know, you're even saying this!? There's no good thing in the demon clan? Who knows what you want to do behind your back!" The emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, and his fingers could not be clicked on Zhongli's forehead.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Zhongli became more calm. When the emperor was willing to continue to argue with him, he would be very likely to convince him.

"Ling Xi has been in Weichen's house for several days. In the past few days, Weichen has allowed her to move freely in the mansion and has been safe and sound. She is now in the realm of flowing and has unpredictable abilities. If she really wants to harm the world, she may have caused trouble."

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

Although I was a little surprised when I saw Zhong Yun and his son bring Ling Xi. As a demon clan, Ling Xi was not bound by the two, but instead dressed in luxurious clothes and came to meet with them. This was unusual.

"Hehe, Grandpa, you are so interesting." Ling Xi couldn't stay stunned at this time, so he approached the emperor and tried to grab the emperor's clothes.

The emperor flashed and dodged Ling Xi's hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Ling Xi's figure was hard to catch even him, and he was almost caught by the other party.

As the emperor of the country, he not only has a noble status, but his cultivation is also unfathomable. Facing a little demon, he feels that he is not capable of.

"Lingxi, come back and stand!" Zhongli scolded, afraid that Lingxi would really invade the emperor. If the emperor gets angry, no matter how he explains, it will be useless.

Ling Xi pouted, her little face full of grievances. She stood beside Zhongli, tearing her clothes with both hands. She felt quite uncomfortable when wearing the gorgeous palace outfit. She wanted to get rid of this burden.

Zhongli hurriedly grabbed Ling Xi's hand and stopped her from making trouble again.

The emperor looked at the two of them with his eyes flashing, and then he smiled.

"It's okay to want me to forgive her, but you can't expect me to let her go like this, right? In this way, I'm not easy to explain to my ministers and the people."

Zhongli's eyes rolled, and then he spoke, "I'm willing to lead an army to the border to quell the chaos!"

"Li'er!" Zhong Yun couldn't help but scold him, why did his son make such a mess today?

On the battlefield of the military formation, it is no better than a joke at home. In this capital, as long as Zhong Li does not commit a serious crime, he can take care of himself no matter what he does. If he really goes to the front line, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to take good care of himself.

Moreover, Zhongli has no cultivation!

"Well? You have to think about it. You have no cultivation, and I have never heard that you are good at this. If I promise you, I will not send you too many troops. And if you are defeated, you will have to be punished according to military rules!" The emperor ignored Zhong Yun and said lightly.

"I am willing to go!" Zhongli said firmly, "Defending the country is an unshirkable obligation as a subject in the country! There is no need to cultivate, nor do you need to study this method carefully. If Your Majesty is not at ease, I am willing to be a small patrol on the front line and do your best for the country!"

"Okay!" the emperor praised, "Since you are so loyal, I am happy to help you. Now I specially appointed you as the lieutenant, commanding a thousand soldiers, and heading to the eastern border to quell the chaos. Let's set off immediately tomorrow morning!"

"I accept the order!" Zhongli responded loudly.

"Your Majesty..." Zhong Yun's face shook. The two of them settled the matter without allowing themselves to interrupt, but it made Zhong Yun extremely uneasy and wanted to plead with the emperor again.

"Your dear, don't say much. This is my agreement with you! If Zhongli defeats, I can forgive him for his crimes with this little demon. If he is defeated in the battle... he and that little demon will be punished!" The emperor waved his hand and did not let Zhong Yun speak, and directly made a conclusion.

"As for the invasion of the demon clan, I will send someone else to investigate and find out the reason!"

Then, the emperor sat back to the table, reviewed the memorials on the table, and signaled that the two of them could leave.

Zhong Yun glared at Zhongli and quickly walked out of the imperial study room. Zhongli and Ling Xi bid farewell to the emperor and walked out together.

"Li'er! How can you make such a fool of yourself!" As soon as you left the imperial study room, Zhong Yun scolded anxiously: "How can you play like this when fighting on the battlefield? Even if you want to go, you should discuss with your father before making a decision. How can you make a promise so rashly?"

"Once you fail to achieve anything, or even make mistakes on the front line, what should you do for your father and your mother!?"

Zhong Yun was full of anger at this time, and he only hated why his son was so ignorant.

"Father, the child did this, because Ling Xi did not do harm to mankind, and she was too unfair to suffer this unintentional disaster; secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to compete for the resources of the court." Zhongli explained to his father seriously.

"Hmph, you don't know if you are your father!" Zhong Yun gave Zhongli a blank look and said angrily: "It's too dangerous to do this. Once you make a mistake, you will never be able to recover! Moreover, you have been weak since childhood, have never been in the army, and are not proficient in military tactics. How can you guarantee victory?"

When Zhongli saw his father's appearance, he knew that his father was not really angry with him. He was just worried about him and relaxed. He smiled and said, "Although the son is not good at it, there are people under him who are good at it. At this time, I will go to find him for help, and he must be willing to do so."

"You mean..." Zhong Yun looked around, fearing that someone would hear it, so he lowered his voice and asked.

Zhongli nodded.
