I started out transmigrating and becoming a god, but the system insisted it was Journey to the West!

Looking at the people around him who had already agreed, Dukao felt that his worries were unnecessary.

I didn't actually have any room to refuse.

"I share the same thought as the Grand Preceptor: we should launch a western expedition!" Dukao agreed.

"Very well, since that's the case, I hereby appoint Grand Preceptor Su as Marshal of the Western Expedition, Lord Li Jing as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Fang Xuanling as his assistant in charge of logistics," Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand.

Then everyone discussed some details of the expedition, and finally decided that they would set off immediately three days later, once the army had assembled.

In the end, Su Yichen only brought 50,000 troops, even though Li Shimin had originally intended to give him 200,000.

After all, even he, the emperor, had heard from his subordinates that the Great Qin in the far west was in utter chaos.

Moreover, there are evil spirits causing trouble, so taking 50,000 is far too little.

However, Su Yichen believed that Li Shimin's worries were completely unnecessary.

These 50,000 elite soldiers included even the Xuanjia Army, not to mention the military genius Li Jing in command.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this army does not attack the Tang Dynasty, no country on Earth can withstand it.

"Your Majesty, fifty thousand is enough. Any more and logistics will be a problem!" Su Yichen said helplessly.

He had already made plans to use the strategy of "using war to sustain war" over there.

The survival of 50,000 troops is not a problem.

"Alright, in that case, let's have 50,000 troops!" Li Shimin agreed. "However, Grand Preceptor, please grant me one condition."

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Su Yichen said, feeling that Li Shimin did not seem like the type to make exorbitant demands.

"Grand Preceptor, as I told you before, if you can resolve the scourge of monsters in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, I will marry one of my daughters to you," Li Shimin said with a smile. "Moreover, I heard from Fang Xuanling that the Grand Preceptor is only nineteen years old."

Upon hearing this, Su Yichen immediately glared at Fang Xuanling.

It's not that he doesn't want to get married, although he often says he's quite traditional.

It's not the traditional kind of polygamy or arranged marriages from birth!

Therefore, he strongly opposed Li Shimin's traditional patriarchal behavior.

Before Su Yichen could object, Li Shimin pulled him towards the inner palace.

As he walked, he casually told the many ministers to go home!

Fang Xuanling gave a wry smile, realizing he had unintentionally offended the young imperial advisor.

Walking along the road, Li Shimin said to Su Yichen with some excitement, "Haha, my daughters have been talking about you these past few days, wanting to meet you, this heroic young man who can slay demons at the age of nineteen!"

Although Li Shimin had never witnessed Su Yichen's strength firsthand, he had heard about it from the soldiers who had gone on the expedition that day.

That monster was nearly ten feet tall, taller than ten people combined.

It breathed flames that blotted out the entire sky, and its whole body was crimson, with skin harder than armor.

Yet this very monster was killed by the three swords of the young man before them.

The people are already wearing it like crazy, with all sorts of things like "Three swords to eliminate demons" and "Spears to suppress fox demons!"

As he spoke, the title "National Preceptor Su" changed to "Nephew Su"!

At the height of his enthusiasm, Li Shimin exclaimed loudly, "Nephew Su, you are truly a young hero! Your courage and decisiveness are just like mine in my youth!"

Su Yichen rolled his eyes at this, thinking, "He's just bragging without thinking!"

You've reached the Core Formation stage at nineteen!

Before Li Shimin could continue speaking, a graceful and elegant woman appeared in the palace to greet him.

"Guanyinbi, let me introduce you. This is the Imperial Preceptor Su!" Li Shimin introduced to Empress Zhangsun.

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun greeted Su Yichen gently, saying, "Young Imperial Tutor Su is truly a man of exceptional talent and ability; a hero indeed!"

Su Yichen chuckled and replied, "This junior has met Empress Zhangsun. I have long heard that Empress Zhangsun is the mother of the nation, the most virtuous and gentle woman in the world, and seeing her today confirms it."

In fact, Su Yichen was quite surprised when he saw Empress Zhangsun.

After all, Su Yichen had just seen Changsun Wuji, who looked like a cunning old man, yet the Empress was so beautiful.

Now he suddenly recognizes the importance of genetic diversity.

Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and chuckled softly after hearing Su Yichen's words.

Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, no woman dislikes being praised.

"Alright, let's go to the inner hall to talk. Those children are still waiting," Li Shimin said. "By the way, Nephew Su, you must stay tonight and have a few drinks with me!"

Su Yichen smiled and agreed.

Upon arriving at the inner hall, Su Yichen saw two small heads peeking at him from behind a screen.

"Zhi Nu, Xiao Si Zi, come here quickly!" Upon seeing the person who came, Li Shimin immediately showed a fatherly smile.

In the blink of an eye, two little children came out from behind the screen.

Little Sizi, in particular, looks chubby and has two little tiger teeth; he's incredibly cute.

Before Su Yichen could react, the little ox charged at him like a little rhinoceros.

Just as Su Yichen was worried that the little dumpling might trip and fall because she couldn't stop in time.

The little girl, however, abruptly stopped.

Then, looking up at Su Yichen without any fear, she asked, "Young master, are you really an immortal?"

Su Yichen smiled and nodded after hearing this.

Upon seeing Su Yichen's affirmative answer, Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up immediately, like a little glutton discovering food.

"Can you conjure up something delicious for me, young master?" Little Si asked expectantly.

Su Yichen couldn't bear to shatter the little girl's hopes, so he took out a candied hawthorn from his system space and handed it to her.

Upon seeing the food, Xiao Sizi's face immediately lit up with a smile. After saying thank you, young man, she accepted it.

This was bought by Su Xiaoxiao, but since they didn't finish it last time, he put it in the system space.

Fortunately, time does not change in the system space, so there is no need to worry about the food spoiling.

Everyone present witnessed this amazing scene and couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Although they already knew that Su Yichen was a cultivator, their reaction was quite different when they actually met him.

"National Preceptor Su is truly a divine being!" At this moment, a young man who looked seven or eight parts like Li Shimin said to Su Yichen.
