To the surprise of the old emperor and his officials, Kaori Yoda readily agreed after only a brief mention. She firmly stated that since marrying into the Qin Empire, she was now a Qin citizen, and therefore would prioritize the interests of the Qin Empire above all else. Her only request was that after this matter was resolved, the Qin Empire would not strip her mother, Empress Inazuma, of her title, allowing her to remain empress until her death…
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present knew perfectly well that Kaori Yoda understood the Qin Empire's entire plan, but she was still willing to cooperate.
The old emperor chuckled dryly, "Princess Yitian, you are now my daughter-in-law, and also the wife of my favorite third son. So I won't hide anything from you. Subduing the Inazuma Empire has always been part of our Great Qin's plan, but we didn't expect it to happen so quickly. As long as our Great Qin Empire wants to explore the starry sea further east, the Inazuma Empire will be an insurmountable obstacle. This is similar to how you always want to acquire land on the continent. Our Great Qin is also a roadblock that you Inazuma people must face!"
“I understand…” Kaori Yoda lowered her eyelids. “I am willing to fully cooperate with Your Majesty’s plan!”
"In that case, I'll give you a guarantee first!" The old emperor Qin Ziming chuckled. "If the Inazuma Empire ultimately becomes part of my Great Qin, I will allow it to have the right to autonomy, becoming an independent autonomous territory. Moreover, your empress system will continue to be hereditary, and you may even become the next empress! In addition, I am aware of the current predicament of the Inazuma Empire, so in the formulation of some economic policies, I will give priority to the Inazuma Autonomous Territory. What do you think?"
This... even the Inazuma Autonomous Territory has come up. Doesn't this clearly mean that Inazuma is already in Qin's hands?
Even if it was a sure thing, what could Kaori Yoda say at this moment?
As for the old emperor's promises, Kaori Yoda was somewhat dismissive, because it was useless to say anything now; when the time came, it would all be up to the old emperor to decide what to do.
Fortunately, as long as her husband, Qin Feng, can take over the Qin Empire in the future, she doesn't need to worry about anything that would be detrimental to Inazuma territory!
Of course, this is all predicated on the fact that she can always win Qin Feng's favor!
Chapter 100: The so-called expedition is nothing more than a way to pick up girls.
So, taking advantage of staying overnight at the palace with Qin Feng, and since it was her first time visiting Qin Feng's Maple Forest Garden, Kaori Yoda simply took over Qin Feng completely, clinging to him and doing it non-stop, in all sorts of positions and even novel ways of playing that she had never heard of before, which she did without hesitation...
Even when Qin Feng suggested that he wanted to try out what it felt like to get in through connections, Kaori Yoda followed his suggestion without hesitation and went to get an enema.
It must be admitted that Inazuma women are indeed the ultimate dream for men in bed!
So that night, Qin Feng and Kaori Yoda went absolutely wild...
But in reality, Qin Feng saw Yoda Kaori beneath him more often than not as Himiko, the first queen of Japan.
Okay, saying that seems a bit unfair to Kaori Yoda, but the good thing is, Qin Feng and Kaori Yoda's relationship is progressing rapidly... well, you know what I mean. (The last two lines are a nonsensical string of characters and don't translate directly.)
This is, of course, because Oda Kaori has now formed a connection with Himiko's soul. So, just as Qin Feng could absorb Chang'e's power through Yu Wanlin's body before, he can now absorb Himiko's power through Oda Kaori's Dragon-Drawing Technique. As a result, he fought more and more fiercely, and almost didn't stop all night, constantly... day and night.
Even at the very end, Kaori Yoda couldn't hold on any longer and decisively called in four or five maids, whom she had brought from Inazuma, and then watched helplessly as Qin Feng took turns...
Under these circumstances, how could their relationship not be good?
Then, early the next morning, Qin Feng received another piece of good news: His Majesty the Emperor, Qin Ziming, announced at the morning court session that he would be leading the expedition to Inazuma.
To paraphrase the old emperor, you came up with this plan, so if you don't go, who will?
Moreover, since you are the son-in-law of the Inazuma Empire, it is perfectly reasonable for you to lead troops into battle for Princess Yoda!
So Qin Feng was at a loss for words, wondering whether to go or not.
Although Qin Feng had been chanting "Resist Japan, Resist Japan" every day before he transmigrated, everyone knew that it was just empty talk. Who would have thought that after transmigrating, he would actually have to go and fight against Japan!
But now that he had made up his mind, Qin Feng had to start preparing for the relevant matters.
Because this time he was going to travel to Inazuma to fight, it was definitely not as simple as running to Seishu Port to pick up Yoda Kaori last time, so he definitely needed to have as many people as possible, which was also for his own safety.
Bai Zhiwei can be brought along. She studies advanced command but has never been on a real battlefield. This time, she can learn from her experience. In addition, she can help me with many things!
Kaori Yoda definitely has to be brought along; she's Princess Inazuma and the star of this expedition!
Then there are the maids of Maple Forest Garden, who are not only Qin Feng's treasures but also his confidantes...
But in fact, Qin Feng did not intend to bring them all with him at first. After all, with his current strength, he did not need the maids to protect him. However, as soon as they heard that His Highness the Third Prince was going on a long expedition to Inazuma, all the maids of Maple Forest Garden immediately packed their luggage and stood neatly in front of him!
Then they added that they would live and die for the Third Prince, so wherever Qin Feng went, they would go!
As for the second princess Qin Lan and the fifth princess Qin Ling, although they also wanted to go out and have some fun together, it was definitely impossible. As princesses, how could they go to the battlefield? Even if Qin Feng was willing, the old emperor wouldn't allow it. It wouldn't sound good if word got out, would it?
Most importantly, the old emperor specially arranged for Qin Feng to personally lead the army on this expedition in order to accumulate military merits and prestige for him. Do you two princesses want to go along and benefit from this?
Therefore, the old emperor specially dispatched a 5,000-strong imperial guard to escort Qin Feng on his journey, and coincidentally, this time the leader was Commander Situ Yang again...
The only problem now is that if Qin Feng is to lead troops to Inazuma, he will probably be unable to participate in the internal selection of the Chinese Military Academy and the upcoming martial arts tournament. After all, going to and from the Inazuma Empire will not only require rescuing the Empress, but also helping to suppress rebellions in various places. It may take several months before he can return!
Of course, Qin Feng doesn't need to use the martial arts tournament to prove himself now, but he said he would participate before, and then he ran away halfway through, which felt like a half-hearted effort, didn't it?
Most importantly, as the future Demon King, how could he break his word? Moreover, he had planned from the beginning to use this martial arts tournament to thoroughly establish his 'faith' in the Great Qin Empire and tell everyone that he, Qin Feng, is a mountain that everyone can only look up to!
So after leaving the palace, Qin Feng immediately returned to the Royal Military Academy and then asked General Bai to arrange for Yu Wanlin to take his place in the remaining matches...
General Bai still remembered Yu Wanlin, after all, there weren't many girls like her who were so pitiful yet so favored by the Third Prince. But Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?
Her strength... wait?
Seeing the stunned expression on General Bai's face, Qin Feng smiled broadly. "I told you long ago that this girl is a genius. Does the old general believe me now?"
However, it was at this moment that Qin Feng learned from General Bai that the true commander of the Qin army that was on this expedition to Inazuma was actually... Bai Hao.
Okay, this General Bai Hao is none other than the only son of the old General Bai, who is also Bai Zhiwei's biological father, and a super commander who inherited the Bai family's excellent genes...
However, Bai Hao has always been in charge of the defense of the northern part of the Qin Empire.
After all, relatively speaking, the only thing on this eastern continent that can currently pose a threat to the Qin Empire is the Rangxi Empire, so the old emperor has always had General Bai Hao stationed in the north.
However, because this expedition to Inazuma was of great importance and absolutely could not be lost, the old emperor temporarily summoned him and entrusted him with an extremely important task!
If it weren't for the fact that General Bai was too old to withstand such a long journey across the ocean, the old emperor would have even considered having General Bai lead the army himself!
To put it bluntly, although Qin Feng was nominally the commander-in-chief of the expedition, it was actually General Bai Hao who exercised the authority to command the army and make various war strategies. All that Prince Qin Feng, the Third Prince, had to do was go to Inazuma with the army, enjoy the exotic scenery, and have some fun.
According to the old emperor, he was just going through the motions, so all he had to do was pay attention to his own safety along the way. When he returned in triumph, he would take away all the war merits and become a superstar in the eyes of the people of Qin!
Therefore, other generals would probably not be willing to do this for someone else!
But Bai Hao is different. He is Bai Zhiwei's biological father, and he is absolutely willing to do anything to promote his daughter and son-in-law. After all, the old emperor's purpose in letting the third prince gain military merit is to support him to ascend the throne.
Most importantly, once Qin Feng becomes the next emperor of the empire, wouldn't Bai Zhiwei become the empress?
So why would Bai Hao feel dissatisfied?
Not only will he not think that way, but he will also do his best to fight this battle well and beautifully!
The truth was so cruel that Qin Feng was at a loss for words. He almost thought he was going to lead an army into battle that morning. He wondered how the old emperor could be so bold as to let a prince who was born in the deep palace and had everything done for him lead an army on a distant expedition. Where did he get the confidence?
So just now Qin Feng was thinking about how to win this battle, but in the end he found that the old emperor was still the old emperor, and his actions were always flawless. So Qin Feng was still just a playboy prince. This trip was just to freeload and pick up a girl on the side.
Fortunately, Qin Feng's childhood experiences were different from others, so he didn't take these things too seriously or care too much about them. Since there was a concerned old emperor who arranged everything so well, why should he work so hard? He could just enjoy his own life!
Besides, Qin Feng had never had the connections to compete with others on Earth, but now, the feeling of being taken care of... is really great!!
Chapter 101: The Hu Sisters' Utter Depravity
Later, Qin Feng returned to his dormitory and told Bai Zhiwei and the others about the expedition to Daozu. He then told them that they might be leaving in the next couple of days.
After all, speed is of the essence in war, and the Qin Empire intends to destroy the Inazuma Empire's will to resist before the new recruits have undergone systematic training.
So as long as the elite troops dispatched by the old emperor from all sides of the empire arrive at Qingzhou Port, and most importantly, the naval forces arrive, then Qin Feng and his group will embark on a journey across the ocean!
Unsurprisingly, when Bai Zhiwei learned that Kaori Yoda would be going with Qin Feng, she strongly requested to accompany him on the expedition. Even the Second Princess Qin Lan wanted to go. However, the Fifth Princess Qin Ling was still young and hadn't quite grasped the situation yet. She even turned to her second sister and advised her that as princesses, they were generally not allowed to go on expeditions with the army. Moreover, what were the women doing following the men when they were fighting?
It's not convenient in the military, right?
But Qin Ling soon learned from her second sister, Qin Lan, that Qin Feng was going to Inazuma for this expedition, and that he would be fighting and suppressing a rebellion there. The fighting might last for several months, and if the battle was intense, he might not be able to return for a year or two...
The Fifth Princess immediately panicked and begged Qin Feng to take them along. After all, Qin Ling was completely captivated by Qin Feng. On one hand, because she had signed a beauty contract with him, her affection for him had grown unconsciously. On the other hand, Qin Ling was at the age when young girls were experiencing first love, and Qin Feng was not only handsome but also incredibly powerful and mysterious!
In this situation, what's wrong with Qin Ling liking her brother?
Does the law prohibit it?
The problem is, Qin Feng's departure will last for several months or even a year and a half, and then we won't see each other again. That would be terrible.
To be honest, Qin Feng hadn't considered this situation before, so he initially sternly rejected his second sister and fifth sister's request, saying that going out to fight was not a vacation, and that the two of them should stay in the capital and be princesses, instead of following him to Inazuma.
Want to experience hardship?
However, Princess Qin Lan said that she was a woman who aspired to be the emperor. So how could she miss such a good opportunity to see the real battlefield with her own eyes and not have to worry about her own safety?
As for whether she would steal Qin Feng's credit, she said that she would just keep her identity hidden and pretend that she was a palace maid by Qin Feng's side. Who would know who she was?
Anyway, Qin Feng has several hundred palace maids with him!! Mei is singing, you're empty, Lin is here, not here...
Then Qin Feng thought about it and realized that made sense. Wasn't his trip just for sightseeing?
Moreover, as a spoiled rich kid, can he endure hardship?
Upon seeing that Qin Feng had finally agreed, the Second Princess Qin Lan and the Fifth Princess Qin Ling jumped up with joy and then rushed back to the palace to pack their things.
Qin Feng had just seen them off when Bai Zhiwei brought over the twin sisters Hu Bingjing and Hu Bingxin.
Seeing their hesitant expressions and coy looks, Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and invited them to take a bath together. He then brazenly held them in his arms and took advantage of them in various ways. After the bath, he picked them up one in each arm and carried them back to their room without saying a word!
Then, with two soft cries, the Hu twin sisters completely transformed from girls into women...
Fortunately, the Hu sisters were mentally prepared for this.
Especially during the bath, Qin Feng directly told them that he had specially selected a pair of twin goddess souls for the sisters, so they were quite excited. In the following time, Qin Feng didn't even have to do anything; instead, the sisters took the initiative in various ways!
It was through their tireless efforts that Qin Feng's True Dragon Technique finally imprinted itself on them, allowing them to successfully activate the stars of the Qiao sisters.
Now that they had gotten what they wanted, Bai Zhiwei and Yoda Kaori, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stripped off their clothes and joined the fray, leaving the Hu twin sisters completely dumbfounded...
You...you...
What shocked them even more was that after Bai Zhiwei and Yoda Kaori surrendered, more than twenty palace maids immediately poured in from outside!
This is what a truly grand spectacle looks like, isn't it?
It has to be said that the Hu twin sisters were quickly corrupted, after all, one is influenced by one's surroundings...
So when they woke up the next morning, the sisters couldn't resist having another threesome with Qin Feng!
So Qin Feng finally made a grand gesture and decided to bring the Hu family's twin sisters along as well. After all, he had already brought Bai Zhiwei, Oda Kaori, the second sister Qin Lan, and the fifth sister Qin Ling, so what difference would it make if he brought a few more girls?
That was about it. Since they were to set off the next day, Qin Feng took Bai Zhiwei and the others back to the palace to meet up with his second sister Qin Lan and the palace maids of Fenglin Garden. Then they went to the gate of the imperial city to meet with Situ Yang, the commander of the Imperial Guards.
However, after leaving, Qin Feng led his team on a detour to Nataya's house...
The reason for doing this was, of course, to pick up Nataya and her daughter Shirley before setting off.
This was because Shirley, the little foreign horse, had learned from Xia Ming and the others that Qin Feng was going to the Inazuma Empire to fight, so she immediately begged the Third Prince to give her and her mother a day off... because she wanted to go home and spend time with her father.
After all, Qin Feng was going to Inazuma to fight, and Shirley was not clear about the strength of this prince, so it was natural for her to be worried. She was even a little scared that if something happened to Qin Feng, she and her mother might never have the chance to come back!
It has to be said that Shirley was indeed overthinking things.
When Qin Feng arrived, Nataya and Sherry, mother and daughter, had already packed their things and were waiting for him. This was because, as Qin Feng's summoned creatures, as long as they were within a certain range, Qin Feng could directly tell them his thoughts in his mind.
Sherry's father, Edmund, was not there. Qin Feng asked around and learned that Edmund had already set off on his journey back to the Noah Empire. He was taking this opportunity to go back to the Noah Empire to handle some matters there, such as visiting and informing the couple's relatives.
After all, their family would be permanently stationed in the Qin Empire from now on, and it was hard to say when they would be able to return to the Western Continent.
In addition, their family's properties in the Noah Empire, as well as other matters, also need to be settled, and they even need to find a way to bring some things that they cannot give up to the Qin Empire...
This had little to do with Qin Feng; he picked up Nataya and her daughter Shirley and left.
Since this was a trip to the battlefield, all the palace maids of Fenglin Garden changed out of their usual palace maid outfits and put on silver armor. They looked very heroic and the procession of several hundred people looked quite impressive. At least when they marched in formation on the streets of the capital, they attracted a lot of attention!
Even Situ Yang and his fellow imperial guards couldn't help but become a little reserved. Although they knew these were the Third Prince's personal concubines, they still subconsciously wanted to maintain their masculine image in the face of so many beautiful female soldiers. More importantly, they now knew that the Third Prince's palace maids were all experts, and many of them were even stronger than them!
To Qin Feng's surprise, the old emperor himself came out of the palace to see him off. This made him a little worried, because the second princess Qin Lan and the fifth princess Qin Ling were also wearing armor and mixed in with the female soldiers. It would be embarrassing if the old emperor recognized them!
But there was no other way. He could agree to his second and fifth sisters in private, but he absolutely could not tell the emperor, because there was no need to discuss this matter. The old emperor would never allow the two princesses to go to the battlefield, so this was the only way he could do it.
Even if they were discovered, Qin Feng could simply claim he didn't know anything, and that his second and fifth sisters had sneaked in on their own. By then, everyone had already boarded the ship; he couldn't just throw them overboard...
Chapter 102: Hoping for a Daughter to Become a Phoenix, Shirley Also Gains a Divine Soul
In fact, as soon as the main force left the capital and embarked on the post road, Qin Lan and Qin Ling quickly slipped into Qin Feng's carriage, then said coquettishly, "Oh, you guys are already playing so quickly!"
Well, it's nothing really, because Qin Feng is currently having a great time playing with Hu Bingqing and Hu Bingxin, the twin sisters!
But isn't this normal? Mei is in Yong, you're in the air, Lin is in the middle, not here...
Since there were no outsiders in the carriage, the Hu sisters were able to relax and enjoy themselves...
At least, Bai Zhiwei, who was sitting next to her, was not surprised at all, and did not even glance over, because she was talking to Princess Yoda Kaori.
In fact, Bai Zhiwei was currently trying to find out about the Inazuma Empire from Yoda Kaori. As an elite student of the advanced command department, and since this was a formal expedition, she naturally needed to understand and grasp enough intelligence beforehand. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Although she didn't actually need to worry about any battle situation or tactical setup this time, and it wasn't her place to interfere at all, because her future was to be the Empress of the Great Qin Empire, not a general charging into battle, Bai Zhiwei didn't want to just be a decorative vase!
Kaori Yoda shared the same thought. Although she knew very well that the Qin Empire's military expedition was aimed at obtaining Inazuma, and even had a hint of taking advantage of the situation, she ultimately decided to be a 'sinner' because of her worries for her mother and sister, her consideration for Inazuma's future, and her current position.
