Jingcheng Pass.

The offensive of the Beihu army on Guancheng has been going on for several months, and Guancheng has long been unrecognizable, and there are broken female walls and collapsed gaps everywhere.

The soldiers of both sides who died inside and outside the city together reached tens of thousands. A pass in the territory of Daqi, which is not as well-known to the government and the opposition as Yanmen Pass, has become a veritable meat grinder.

In the past two days, after Zhao Ning left, there were several times when the Guancheng was almost taken away by the Beihu army, and Charahan even personally entered the Guancheng several times, fortunately, thanks to the bloody battles of the Zhao clan and the Yang cultivators, this was able to stabilize the position.

At this time of the battle, the casualties of the Hedong Army guarding the pass were not small, and the wounded were sent to the rear every day, and the old soldiers were losing more and more, while the new soldiers had not yet fully grown up, and the situation faced by the Hedong Army was at the most dangerous time.

If you survive this round, the new pawns will be able to become elite and take on the burden of defending the city, but if you can't survive this round, not only will the city fall into the hands of the enemy, but the new pawns of the Hedong Army will not be able to complete the transformation, and the combat power of the entire Hedong Army will be greatly reduced.

The good news is that the Beihu army has been invincible for a long time, and now the front is dull, and the offensive is no longer as fast and powerful as at the beginning.

"Before the war, I never thought that Jingcheng Pass and Chengtian Pass could block the Beihu army for so long, and half a year has passed, and Chalahan can't even enter the Jindi Gate, he must be extremely uncomfortable, right?"

Dusk will not end, dusk is coming, several layers of fire clouds on the horizon are dark red like fire, the mountains near and far are majestic and silent, there are no birds, and the Beihu soldiers in front of the city have dropped their corpses on the ground, and they have receded like a tide in the sound of golden gongs.

After a fierce battle for a whole day, relying on the concerted efforts of the soldiers, in the bloody Chengtou battlefield, the Hedong Army kept the city as usual, and ushered in a short peace between the fierce battles.

The kings fell back to the city wall, and a large number of panting soldiers put down the heavy shields and axes in their hands, or held on to the city wall and gasped for breath, or simply sat on the ground and screamed.

The generals supported their tired bodies, and the shouts of the wounded were mixed with the scolding of various local accents, which sounded strange.

Yang Xianzhi, a cultivator of the Yang Clan's Extreme Realm who assisted in guarding the pass, looked at the Beihu soldiers who had retreated to the barracks after falling back to the roof of the city tower, breathed a sigh of relief, and said the above words with three points of emotion, three points of pride, and four points of joking.

The object of his conversation was Yang Jiani, who was carrying a Zhangermo knife on her shoulder and sitting on the roof looking at the battlefield.

Looking at the other party's quiet and leisurely appearance, it didn't look like he had experienced a vicious battle at all, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, and his mind was not yet fully awake.

Looking at the past from Yang Zhenzhi's position, on the mountains not far from Yang Jiani's side, the red sunset hanging on the top of the mountain seemed to be close in front of him.

The mountain breeze blew Yang Jiani's slightly messy long hair, splashing on the sun like ink, and the tips of her hair dancing in the wind danced gently, as if she had her own soul.

If this scene is placed on others, it will inevitably give birth to a bit of bewitching and poetry, but because Yang Jiani, who is sitting in front of her as a statue and has no expression at all, this picture just sets off her more dumbfounded.

"Long before the national war, Jin Di was ready for war, Zhao Ning's layout here for several years is related to the foundation and great cause of the Zhao family, if it can't even hold on for a year and a half when things come to an end, then he is not Zhao Ning. ”

It seems that Yang Jiani seems to be looking at the bloody battlefield, but in fact, it is not a state of being blind to things outside the window, but when he received Yang Xianzhi's words, his demeanor and movements did not change half a minute, which made Yang Jianzhi have an illusion in a trance, and this voice did not seem to come from Yang Jiani.

Fortunately, as Yang Jiani's uncle, Yang Zhenzhi watched Yang Jiani grow up, and he has long been accustomed to her state of always forgetting things and me, and he doesn't feel too uncomfortable now.

Yang Xianzhi twisted his beard and laughed twice, "Since the seventh year of Qianfu, except for one time back to Yangzhou halfway, you have been by Zhao Ning's side, and your understanding of him is naturally profound, which is not comparable to others such as me." ”

What he said was meaningful, but Yang Jiani didn't react, still looking at it and not caring much:

"Over the years, we have traveled all over the world in order to observe the world's landscapes, look at the red dust, and cultivate the Dao heart and cultivate it. ”

Yang Jiani's words were so serious, Yang Xianzhi deliberately hinted at and urged the life events of the juniors, and it was not good to say much at the moment, so he had to restrain his expression and said:

"Zhao Ning, this kid, is indeed not a mortal, and you are the same. I really want to see how far you can go in your cultivation in this life, whether you can both reach the realm of heaven and man. ”

Charahan personally went into battle several times before and attacked the city, the first few times Zhao Xuanji released his qi to force the other party back, but this time today, it was Yang Jiani who carried the Zhang Ermo knife and faced the other party alone, although he did not take advantage, but he also successfully limited the other party for a lot of time.

What this means is self-explanatory.

In less than two days, Yang Jiani, who was famous in Jiangzuo in the early years and was known as the first genius in Jiangzuo, will also achieve the middle stage of Wang Jijing!

Wait until that day, Yang Jiani herself will be the top combat force of the Jindi battlefield, and the mainstay of the overall situation, in the case that Zhao Xuanji needs to balance the Tianyuan Khan from afar, and cannot really show up to fight with Chalahan, she can only release the qi to deter the other party, her contribution and significance to the Hedong Army are self-evident.

This will also make the weight of the Yang family in the eyes of the Zhao family become different from the past.

Even if the rich are brothers and sisters with the poor, even if the strong are close to the weak, even if the officials do not put on a fight with the common people, they cannot be true brothers.

The Yang family can have a close relationship with the Zhao family, and the ancestors of the Yang family are naturally extraordinary figures.

When the Great Qi Dynasty was founded, the ancestors of the Yang family not only made great achievements, but also cultivated themselves to a high level, overlooking most of the heroes in the world with the cultivation of the late stage of the Wang Ji Realm.

It's just that the descendants are not good, the Yang family is not as good as the generation, when the Zhao family is still the first general of the Great Qi, the Yang family has not even been able to keep the position of the marquis, in the previous generation, Zhao Xuanji is the late stage of the Wang Ji Realm, but the Yang family does not even have a cultivator in the Wang Ji Realm.

In the sixth year of Qianfu, because of the demotion of the knight, the Yang family almost fell out with the Zhao family, which was not only because the Yang family was angry that Zhao Xuanji did not act on that matter, but also because for a long time, the status of the Yang family and the Zhao family has been unequal, and he has a mind to be ashamed.

Once people have low self-esteem, their minds will become extremely sensitive, and in the daily relationship with ordinary things, Yang always feels that Zhao is high everywhere and looks down on them, so when Zhao didn't notice it, Yang himself accumulated a lot of resentment against Zhao Xuanji.

When Zhao Ning, the future of the Zhao family, behaved extremely sloppy and unbearable words and deeds, the Yang family finally found a legitimate reason to convince himself to distance himself from the Zhao family, which led to frequent contact with the Sun family.

Later, Yang Jiani showed excellent talent as a cultivator and had a bright future, which made Yang's dignity return a lot, and there was a lot less prejudice against Zhao's words and deeds. Then, Zhao Ning's extraordinary talent in autumn hunting further made the Yang family realize that it was not a wise move to abandon the Zhao family and form an alliance with the Sun family.

Then Zhao Xuanji took the initiative to communicate with the ancestors of the Yang family, and Wang Rouhua invited Yang Jiani to Yanmen Pass.

Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani got along quite well, and their performance in Fengming Mountain really amazed the Zhao family, Yang's attitude has changed a lot, and the relationship with the Zhao family has completely eased up and returned to the right track.

During the national war, although it was impossible for the Yang clan to help the Zhao clan, it also sent the top combat forces in the clan over, and as the national war progressed, the Zhao clan took the lead north of the Yellow River, and the Yang clan not only supported the Zhao clan, but also fought for the survival of the country.

Standing with the Zhao clan and standing in a key position, the Yang clan itself must take out the top strong and establish extraordinary military feats, so that he can always maintain an equal status with the Zhao clan who have made outstanding achievements and whose status is becoming more and more important.

Yang Jiani, as the hope of Yang's Zhongxing, can imagine the hope of Yang's pinning.

Listening to Yang Xianzhi's words, Yang Jiani didn't squint, even if she was talking about her bright cultivation avenue and the future of Yang's net worth, her voice did not have the slightest wave, but what she said made Yang Xianzhi feel it more clearly, an extremely powerful self-confidence:

"The question is not whether we can achieve the realm of heaven and man, but when we will cross that threshold.

"The national war has reached the current situation, and it is no longer possible to turn the tide when you are idle and cultivated.

"The third uncle may not know that in Zhao Ning's judgment, Tianyuan Khan is already a heavenly realm!"

Yang Zhenzhi was stunned: "Tianyuan Khan is the realm of heaven and man?"

Yang Jiani said: "Zhao Ning's judgment will not be wrong. ”

Yang Xianzhi wanted to speak and stopped.

He felt that Yang Jiani was good at everything, but his trust in Zhao Ning was too blind, even if Zhao Ning was already in the middle of the Wang Ji Realm, it was impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent.

"Third Uncle seems to think that Zhao Ning's judgment is wrong?" Yang Jiani didn't turn her head, but she seemed to have taken in the slight changes in Yang Shenzhi's expression.

Yang Xianzhi smiled helplessly: "The grassland has never appeared in the realm of heaven and man. ”

Yang Jiani has always looked like she doesn't care about things outside her body, but this time she seems to have moved her real character, and said in a serious tone: "Third Uncle thinks that Zhao Ning can achieve a big victory with the battle of 40,000 horse troops in Yunzhou against the 40,000 pioneers of Borshu?"

Yang Xianzhi opened his mouth, and he didn't want to answer directly, but after thinking about it carefully, he still said with a straight face: "In this battle, Zhao Ning made a common mistake of young people: too reckless. As long as you don't suffer a big loss, it's a blessing. ”

The corners of Yang Jiani's mouth were slightly hooked, and a smug arc seemed to be nothing, showing in the last rays of the sunset, indescribably playful and smart: "He will definitely win, and it will definitely be a big victory." ”

Yang Xianzhi only felt ridiculous: "Why are you so sure?"

Yang Jiani's gaze at the battlefield in front of her became distant and profound in an instant, and she said something that made Yang Xianzhi puzzled: "It was only when I learned that he decisively led the troops to battle that I believed that what he had done in the past was indeed not for rebellion. ”

Yang Xianzhi looked confused.

Yang Jiani didn't speak again.

When the setting sun was completely hidden behind the mountain, a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator rushed to Guancheng and shouted to Jingcheng Pass:

General Zhao Ning led the crowd to defeat the Beihu vanguard, beheaded nearly 40,000, and recaptured Xihe City!"

After a short silence, the Jingcheng Pass, which had just stopped, erupted into a tsunami-like cheer.

They are fighting in Jindi, and what they are most worried about is that the overall situation of the Central Plains cannot be stabilized, and Bianliang will be lost first, in that case, Jindi will be completely reduced to an isolated island.

Yang Xianzhi opened his mouth wide, and looked at Yang Jiani, who was still sitting still in front of him, without the slightest hint of surprise, and was speechless.

Facts have proved that Yang Jiani's trust in Zhao Ning is not blind, but a thorough understanding.

Without waiting for Yang Zhenzhi to calm down, Yang Jiani, who was still calm, suddenly burst into anger!

An unfathomable majestic true qi rushed out of her body without warning, like a volcanic eruption! With a dragon's roar, a milky white pillar of light suddenly rose from her body, straight into the sky, and at the beginning of the twilight, a dazzling light opened up in the sky!

The entire well pass is suddenly as bright as day!

"Wang ...... Mid-Wang Extreme Realm?!"

Yang Zhenzhi stood on the spot, surprised and delighted.

On this day, Yang Jiani achieved the middle stage of the king extreme realm.
