Chapter 1116: Chapter 1115: Resign and Take Responsibility

Ye Yushi watched Qin Hao’s departing figure, her face frozen in surprise. What did he mean by those words? Did he agree or disagree?

After a while, she reacted, wondering if Qin Hao had actually agreed.

She quickly sent a jade stone transmission to Zhai Xinting, telling her about the matter.

Qin Hao’s response wasn’t exactly agreeing, nor was it a refusal. Whether the Zhai Family could get the quota depended on their own performance.

Qin Hao planned to reshuffle the old forces; he would only keep those loyal to him. If the old ministers of the Skyfire Dynasty didn’t make their stance clear, they would gradually be marginalized.

He soon returned to the State Preceptor’s mansion, where Dong Mengqi, Xian Yin, Ling’er, and others were chatting.

After lunch, Qin Hao took Dong Mengqi to the soldiers’ training base outside the royal city.

The base was heavily guarded, with posts every three steps and sentries every five steps. The guards at the gate saw Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi and hurriedly greeted him with respect: "State Preceptor."

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Is Instructor Lan inside?"

"Reporting to the State Preceptor, Instructor Lan is in the barracks," the guard replied respectfully.

Qin Hao led Dong Mengqi inside, guided by the guard, they soon arrived at the palace within the training base.

The palace was not large, and Lan Manshuang was inside instructing some generals.

She saw Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi enter and paused in surprise: "You’re finally here, quickly find me a few more people, I can’t handle this alone."

"Greetings, State Preceptor." The generals hurriedly knelt to the ground when they saw Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded slightly. Then he said to Lan Manshuang: "I knew you were quite busy here, so I brought Mengqi over to help."

Lan Manshuang: "The new recruits sent from various counties are already close to four hundred thousand; I’ve only finished training the thirty thousand troops of the royal city."

Qin Hao laughed: "Don’t worry, I’ll draw some generals over to help you train. With Mengqi’s help, it shouldn’t be too tiring."

Lan Manshuang: "It’s best to find some experienced generals, it’ll save me a lot of trouble."

Qin Hao planned to promote a group of his own people. This was a good opportunity during the new recruits’ training stage to arrange his people and let them lead new armies.

In the afternoon, under Lan Manshuang’s leadership, Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi toured the soldiers’ training base.

The thirty thousand troops of the royal city were still in training, while the new recruits were divided into four corps in the adjacent fields.

The new recruits had not yet been trained, with many vacancies in the general positions. Qin Hao planned to promote some junior generals from the God Demon Army.

As Qin Hao walked, he asked: "Have these four corps been named?"

"No, you’re the highest general, right? You definitely need to agree on this kind of thing," Lan Manshuang replied.

Qin Hao: "Then I’ll call them the Xuanwu Army, Vermilion Bird Army, Azure Dragon Army, and White Tiger Army. I happen to have four corresponding top-level joint attack formations."

Upon hearing this, Lan Manshuang and Dong Mengqi paused in surprise, looking at him: "Top-level joint attack formations? Where did you get them?"

Qin Hao smiled slightly, answering indirectly: "I have plenty of such things."

Lan Manshuang: "Even our Yunv Sect doesn’t have top-level joint attack formations, you have them? Then give me a few sets."

Qin Hao: "I plan to have you all teach them different joint attack formations for these four troops. I’ll give you these top-level joint attack formations, and you’ll pass them on to these four new corps."

Lan Manshuang: "Can I use them for Yunv Sect?"

Qin Hao: "Your Yunv Sect isn’t quite suitable for these joint attack formations, but I do have other formations you can use, called the Jade Phoenix Joint Attack Array. Relax your mind, I’ll transmit these formations to you both."

Lan Manshuang and Dong Mengqi stopped, eager to witness the top-level joint attack formations Qin Hao mentioned.

Qin Hao raised his hands and touched their foreheads, a vast amount of information pouring into their minds.

Xuanwu Joint Attack Formation, Azure Dragon Joint Attack Formation, Vermilion Bird Joint Attack Formation, White Tiger Joint Attack Formation, and others.

After digesting the information, Lan Manshuang and Dong Mengqi looked at him with shocked expressions: "Where did you get all these top-level joint attack formations? These are legendary. Even my Yunv Sect doesn’t have them."

Qin Hao: "That’s a secret!"

Lan Manshuang’s beautiful eyes lingered on him before finally looking away: "If I take this Jade Phoenix Joint Attack Array back, our Yunv Sect’s overall strength will increase by thirty or forty percent. If proficiently used, even against the top sects of Central State, our Yunv Sect won’t need to be afraid. Do you know how terrifying that is?"

Qin Hao smiled faintly: "As long as you know how powerful it is."

Lan Manshuang: "My mother will probably be even more convinced of you."

Qin Hao coughed lightly: "Why does that sound a bit off to me?"

Lan Manshuang’s cheeks suddenly reddened: "You scoundrel, what are you thinking? I mean my mother will be more convinced of you as a potential son-in-law."

...

Around three in the afternoon, Qin Hao left the barracks alone. On his way back, he sent transmission orders to his subordinates, junior generals of the God Demon Army, instructing them to go to the soldiers’ training base to serve as generals of the new corps.

When Qin Hao returned to the State Preceptor’s mansion, he found a group of people standing in the courtyard in front of the main hall. It was Zhai Nanyi and others.

"Greetings, State Preceptor!" Zhai Nanyi and the others bowed and called out.

Qin Hao looked at them, his face calm: "If there’s something, come inside and talk."

In the main hall, Qin Hao sat at the head seat, looking at Zhai Nanyi and the others: "Please have a seat, everyone."

Zhai Nanyi and the others didn’t dare to move, and Zhai Nanyi began: "State Preceptor Qin, certain statements I made at the court today were inappropriate. I believe State Preceptor Qin and the King have a comprehensive vision, and this recruitment should be for people nationwide to truly gather a large number of civilian talents."

Qin Hao: "Is this truly what the Grand Duke thinks?"

Zhai Nanyi hurriedly nodded: "State Preceptor, my words are sincere. What I said at court was a moment’s folly."

Qin Hao sat there, sipping tea: "I see the Duke’s age isn’t young. How old are you this year?"

Zhai Nanyi hesitated for a moment: "I’m three hundred seventy-six years old this year."

Qin Hao: "That is quite old, not a suitable age to discuss national affairs in court, lest something goes wrong. What do you think, Duke?"

Zhai Nanyi’s face froze, his heart sank immediately. Qin Hao’s words were clear, implying he should resign.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally spoke: "What State Preceptor Qin says is true. I am old and prone to confusion. Tomorrow I will report to the King and resign."

Qin Hao nodded lightly: "The court needs fresh and young blood, to keep the dynasty lively and vigorous, and not turn into an old, twilight state."
