It's simple.

The news Yuan Lai got was not wrong, and in the few days after crossing the mountains and mountains, there was no new breakthrough between the warring parties.

After all, the battle between the two armies was not very easy to achieve a quick victory, and for some reason, the two armies that were stalemate here did not take the initiative to attack for the time being.

The absence of a battle made the two young generals very impatient.

So today, Han Xu and Wei Batu discussed, and simply ran out privately to reconnoiter the enemy.

Of course, on the surface, it was reconnaissance, but in fact, it was to find trouble with those cultivators on the opposite side who were scattered in the mountains to monitor the movements of the Northwest Army.

It's just that the two of them are young and vigorous after all, and after taking advantage of it, they accidentally went too deep, until they were lured into the encirclement by the other party.

Han Xu and Wei Batu were not too stupid, and they decisively gave up the target and began to return as soon as they noticed the problem, so they retreated in time when they were not completely surrounded, but unfortunately it was too late after all, and they fought and fled, panicking all the way, so they ran to this mountainous area.

Yuan Lai couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, as for his experience with Daye, Yuan Lai simply said that he heard that this was the front line, and the distance was not far, so he rushed over, Han Xu looked at them several times, but didn't ask more.

Because they almost lost their lives here, Han Xu and Wei Batu were very afraid, and they didn't have the slightest intention to take it back to ask for credit when they saw the enemy leaders all over the ground.

Especially the little fat man remembered that once the news of this matter leaked and his father knew about it, the consequences would probably be extremely serious, so he couldn't help but feel worried, pestering Yuan Lai and repeatedly begging him not to leak the news, as if he hadn't seen the previous scene, so the two of them simply didn't even want the exploits of the few heads they killed before.

Yuan Lai naturally readily agreed to this, and had no objection, but he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the two of them with gray faces.

Fortunately, the injuries suffered by the two were not serious, and it was difficult to find out if they covered it up.

The group was also afraid that continuing to be here would attract the court's followers, so after a few simple conversations, Han Xu led the way, and the group chose another direction and walked towards the Northwest Army camp.

While on the road, Yuan Lai began to inquire about the current situation.

"Situation? You should have heard a lot on the way here, on the whole, it is similar to what those people said, this period of time is generally smooth, the city has captured a lot, and the place has also occupied a lot, and fortunately there is a big brand of Prince Zhangling, almost as long as the prince's brand is lit up, it will not be subject to too much resistance, of course, part of the resistance is also there, it can only be temporarily suppressed, and then handed over to our officials in the northwest to take over. Han Xu said lightly.

His tone was not serious, but what he said was specific and comprehensive.

"The three-way army, the middle road is the most stressful, and the progress is the slowest, and the progress of General Chen's road in the south is stable, and it has not been fast or slow, steady and steady, as for the road on our side, it was more difficult to fight in the early stage, but then I met several big cities governed by Wang Xie and the two families in a row, and it was relatively smooth to take it from inside and outside, so the speed was relatively high. ”

Yuan Lai frowned and said, "Wang Xie and the two families, they are not controlled?"

Han Xu said with a smile: "After all, they have governed the local area for more than ten years, and they are deeply rooted, and almost all the officials from top to bottom are the relationship between the Wang and Xie families, which is so easy, if they are all arrested, who will take care of the whole city, I guess the imperial court is counting on threatening them with the people in Wuyi Lane in the capital, but there are always people who will not be controlled." ”

Yuan Lai nodded, admitting that what Han Xu said was not unreasonable, and then asked, "Then you said that the confrontation between the two armies has been going on for several days, what is the reason for this?"

Han Xu pursed his lips when he heard this, became a little serious, and said, "Didn't you hear the wind when you came?"

"What kind of rumors?" Yuan Lai's heart moved.

Han Xu sighed and said, "There are Four Realm Great Cultivators who are going to participate in the war. ”

Really!

Yuan Lai took a deep breath, secretly clenched his fists, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"I don't know much either, but listening to the speculation of several generals and senators in the army, it may be because the Northern Sect has finally stabilized completely, and the major sects have finally reached some agreements, and because we fought too smoothly in the early stage, so that the imperial court had to take action to regain momentum. ”

After a pause, Han Xu suddenly said with some confusion: "But it's strange to say, I don't really understand why the early stage of the fight went so smoothly, although the army has the upper hand in terms of combat strength, but we are in a weak position in terms of cultivators, but all the way over, but we don't feel very difficult, the cultivators of the imperial court seem to have disappeared collectively, there are very few people, and there are not many people in the high realm, I don't know what the reason is." ”

"I see, it's those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so the elders of the major sects can't explain to the capital, so they can only agree to send the four realms to participate in the war. Wei Batu suddenly interjected.

Yuan Lai and Ohno looked at each other and smiled, but did not say much.

Han Xu continued: "If we want to go to the Great Cultivators of the Four Realms on the other side, we don't dare to act rashly, and we are also waiting for the support of the Four Realms to come, and people at this level can only send people of the same level to fight, which is also the default habit of Qiguo." ”

Yuan Lai nodded, and then asked seriously, "Then do you know which cultivator the imperial court is going to come here, and which one is we going to deal with here?"

When this question was asked, Ohno also pricked up his ears.

Han Xu listened, hesitated, and then spoke: "There is no confirmation, but yesterday there was a message from eyeliner that said a possibility, but it is just a possibility, it is said to ...... The one who is going to come here is Chen Taihua. ”

Yuan Lai's heart was shocked.

He had heard of Chen Taihua's name for a long time, known as a first-class sword immortal, at that time, on the way of the sword and Wu Angelica side by side, many people wanted to compare the two of them, but unfortunately Chen Taihua's whereabouts were secretive, and Wu Danggui was not interested in these floating names, because the two had never fought each other.

It is precisely because there is no fight that it is more relatable.

As a veteran Four Realms Grand Master, the first-class sword immortal Chen Taihua's reputation was extremely loud, and Yuan Lai naturally didn't dare to ignore it.

He immediately asked, "What about our side?"

Wei Batu replied first: "I know, it's the land of Zhenze that is rushing here, Sect Master Lu Shan!"

Yuan Lai immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it the master of Lu Zhangcha?"

"Hmm. ”

This news made Yuan Lai have a huge interest, whether it is Chen Taihua or Lu Shan, they are both very famous Four Realm Grand Masters, and they don't seem to have officially fought before.

This time, not only Yuan Lai, but almost all the cultivators are extremely curious, which of these two is more powerful?

Speaking of this, suddenly Wei Batu shouted: "It's here!"

When Yuan Lai looked up, he saw that out of the forest, there was a huge camp in front of him, and the first thing that caught his attention was a familiar young man walking in the camp.

"Lu Zhangcha, he's already here?" said Yuan Lai in surprise.

The other three also looked at each other, and Han Xu blurted out: "Since he is here, doesn't Sect Master Lushan say that he has also arrived?!"
