Chapter 290: Turmoil in the Sanctuary

readx;? Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil, and wolf smoke is everywhere. On the front line www.biquge.info of the junction of the ice fields, Han Xiao's army and the beast army were inseparable, and in a blink of an eye, two months had passed, and in these two months of war, Han Xiao's 50,000 army had most of the casualties, and the beast army had also paid an even more painful price.

Two months ago, when Lu Yifan, who came in a hurry with Xi Chen, revealed Lan Shixun's conspiracy to Han Xiaohe, it really shocked Han Xiao and Xi Chen. They had long expected that Lan Shixun had bad intentions and Chu Lingtian was secretly watching something, but they never expected that Lan Shixun's game of chess would be so big, so that it not only involved Lan Shixun and the Northern Frontier Battalion, but also secretly colluded with the Beast Clan and Xuanzong.

After hearing this news, Han Xiao and Xi Chen were shocked and angry, but more of them were heartfelt, Han Xiao immediately wrote a secret fold and ordered someone to send it back to Jinling City to explain everything to the emperor, and the most unexpected thing for Han Xiao and Xi Chen was that Chu Lingtian had already expected that Lu Yifan would tell his secret after he returned, so he laid a net on the front line of Dingbei Town, and before Han Xiao's personal soldiers took the secret fold out of the boundary of northern Xinjiang, it was already killed and intercepted by Ma Rufeng.

Now two months have passed, and there is no news of Han Xiao's secret twists and turns like a stone sinking into the sea. Han Xiao didn't even know if the secret fold had successfully arrived in Jinling City, but a hint of foreboding arose in Han Xiao and Xi Chen's hearts. However, Rao is like this, but for Han Xiao and Xi Chen today, they are really lacking in skills, and the current urgent battle situation and the army of the beast clan are eyeing them, and they can't afford to devote more energy to thinking about secret things.

And what Han Xiao hopes for most now is to force the beast army to retreat as soon as possible, and then personally rush back to Jinling to tell the emperor everything. And what he was most worried about now was whether Chu Lingtian's 100,000 army would suddenly come from behind. If he was attacked on his back, then even if Han Xiao was the number one martial general in the Holy Domain, no matter how brave he was with his troops, he would be powerless.

However, it is also the favor of God, in the past two months, Chu Lingtian's Northern Frontier camp has never had the slightest abnormal movement, which has temporarily slowed down Han Xiao's heart, at least he can now deal with the invasion of the beast clan wholeheartedly.

And why Chu Lingtian didn't move his troops for a long time, Han Xiao didn't say it, but in fact, he also understood it in his heart. Lu Yifan once rescued the dying Xuan Zheng on the way, and Xuan Zheng secretly went to the northern Xinjiang to arrest the beast clan master on the order of the Shengdong King, and Han Xiao now knows about it. Although Lu Yifan repeatedly reminded him to be careful of Lan Shixun's schemes to frame him, Han Xiao, who was upright by nature, was quite unimpressed, and Han Xiao was convinced that the emperor would not be deceived by such a small trick.

Therefore, although Han Xiao knew that Chu Lingtian was waiting for news from Jinling City, he confidently asserted that the emperor would never embarrass him. Not only will he not embarrass himself, but the emperor will also take this opportunity to detect Lan Shixun's fox tail, especially after Xuan Zheng brings back the news of Lu Yifan, he will definitely debunk Lan Shixun's conspiracy in black and white.

It's just that all this is just Han Xiao's imagination now, as for what is the movement of Jinling City, this is not something that Han Xiao, Lu Yifan and others who are far away in the north can detect.

The war in northern Xinjiang was not extinguished, Han Xiao personally ordered Lu Yifan to be the total of thousands of households, with Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Yin Xi, Liu Meng and others under his command, as well as the additional thousands of soldiers, to fight on the battlefield all day long, and almost every few days can make great contributions. Because Lu Yifan was very thoughtful, and after Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Yin Xi, and Liu Meng under his command rushed into the enemy group, they were all bloodthirsty and battled to the death. In just two months, this 'Lu Zi Battalion' with only 1,000 people killed nearly 10,000 beast clan troops, and whenever Lu Yifan's men suffered heavy casualties, Han Xiao would increase his troops to him as soon as possible, ensuring the combat power of the Lu Zi Battalion, and now Lu Yifan's team has become famous in Han Xiao's camp, as if it has become the sharp knife of Han Xiao's camp. And the orc army is also full of fear of this extremely difficult Lu Zi battalion.

These two months are undoubtedly the best time for Lu Yifan and several young people to be tempered by blood and fire. In the past two months, Lu Yifan and his brothers have experienced life and death several times, and several dangers have been born. They spent their days stepping on the blade of their swords, and the blood on their bodies never dried up, and the swords never left their hands, not even into their sheaths. There was once a time when Lu Yifan led a lone army into the depths of the ice field to attack a deputy general camp of the beast army, but the result was a plot, the Lu Zi battalion of thousands of people was besieged by tens of thousands of beast army on the endless ice field, Lu Yifan and others fought bloodily for a whole day and night, and killed a bloody road from the siege of 10,000 people, during which Liu Sandao also single-handedly broke through the heavy protection, and cut off the head of the deputy general of the beast clan who was cultivated by the soul king, and Liu Sandao's feat also burned the fighting spirit of the Lu Zi camp that had lost the will to fight, and finally a thousand people entered the ice field, but less than 30 people came out alive, and by the time the kill was complete, most of the sergeants' blades had already curled their blades, and their arms were completely numb because of the slashing action that they had done too much.

However, it is these countless life and death trials that are also beneficial to Lu Yifan and the others. Really broke through in the bloody battle of life and death, and was reborn from the fire when he was almost nirvana. In just two months, Lu Yifan was promoted from the former fourth-turn soul to three levels in a row, and broke through to the seventh-turn soul in one fell swoop, and Xie Yun also broke through from the previous second-turn soul to the fourth-turn soul. And what everyone didn't expect was Ji Yuan, because Ji Yi'er hit him too much, in the past two months, Ji Yuan almost didn't say a word, and never showed the slightest smile, he turned his anger and grievances into killing intent, and completely poured it on the enemy's body with his wolf head stick, every time he fought with the enemy, Ji Yuan would rush to be the first, even more active than the bloodthirsty Liu Sandao, and Ji Yuan was the last to stop in every bloody battle. There were even several times when he was surrounded by heavy surrounding, Ji Yuan refused to take a step back, and in the end, he was dragged away by Lu Yifan and others.

This almost sleepless state of frenzied battle also made Ji Yuan's cultivation continue to break through at an astonishing speed, breaking through the second turn soul on the seventh day, the third turn soul on the seventeenth day, the fourth turn soul in the twenty-seventh day, and the fifth turn soul in the thirty-fifth day, and now Ji Yuan has been firmly in the realm of the fifth turn soul. In two months, he broke through the four realms one after another, and even Lu Yifan, who was extremely talented, couldn't help but sigh, and in addition to sighing, Lu Yifan's heart was more worried.

Of course, Ji Yuan's almost crazy breakthrough is also related to the battlefield of Zhuo Wolf Grassland, after all, it carries too much of his beauty and hatred, Zhuo Wolf Grassland is Ji Yuan's home, is his homeland, and his father and mother are buried under the grassland, as well as his countless brothers and sisters, relatives and friends of the same clan, and on the grassland are the souls of countless grassland tribesmen, all of which are worthy of Ji Yuan's cultivation of divine exercises. Zhuo Wolf Gong', coupled with Ji Yi'er's huge blow to Ji Yuan, made him turn his grief and anger into the power of cultivation, under the tempering of life and death in the right time, place and people, presumably it would be difficult for Ji Yuan not to break through?

Harvest and pay are often proportional, although Ji Yuan was fearless in wartime and despised life and death, but whenever it was the dead of night, Lu Yifan would still hear Ji Yuan hiding in the corner while humming the ballad he used to sing to his sister when he was a child, while clenching his robe tightly with his teeth and crying in a low voice. And whenever he hears this, Lu Yifan's heart is often sour, but it is also an indescribable sadness.

Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil, but Jinling City in the past two months has not been peaceful at all.

Linghuang Yanchong has been exhausted for the past two months, and some bad news will come from all parts of the holy area almost every day, either there is a clash of casualties between the sect and the city army in the east, or there are bandits rampant in the west, or there are natural disasters somewhere, and the people have been killed and injured countless times, or the plague has broken out in some place, in short, there are many disasters, and there has not been a good thing in a huge holy area for so many days. And under all kinds of disasters, even the war in the northern Xinjiang has become one of the many troubles when it comes to the emperor, and it is no longer so important.

Linghuang Yanchong is not a fool, he also more or less expected the causes of some of the recent disasters, and suspected that Xuanzong was secretly doing the obstruction, because looking at the entire Holy Domain, except for the Holy Domain Sect Leader Dongfang Su who has this ability to make Linghuang Yanchong anxious, who else has this ability? But even if he had some doubts in his heart, Linghuang Yanchong didn't dare to say anything more on his face, after all, he didn't have any real evidence in his hands now, and secondly, even if he really had evidence, he couldn't fall out with Dongfang Su face to face, after all, there were too many disasters in the Holy Domain now, and there were beast clans in the north to make chaos and the war was not settled.

Therefore, all that Emperor Yan Chong can do today is to endure it, endure it again and again, and then silently solve these troubles one by one in the back. And the Emperor Yan Chong, who foreshadowed this ominous state, also personally ordered all the four major holy kings in the southeast, northwest, and northwest to stay in Jinling City to help him deal with the affairs of the Holy Domain, after all, at this time, the strength of Emperor Yan Chong alone is far from enough, and for **** Although a minister with a foreign surname like Qian is extremely capable of doing things, he is not the Yan clan's own family after all, and at this moment, it is faintly related to the life and death of the Yan clan's royal family, and the emperor Yan Chong has also begun to become suspicious, he used to be extremely smart, but now he is no one can believe it except for the four holy kings, that is, his four brothers of the same clan.

Not only **** Qian, but even Lan Shixun has few words in front of Emperor Yanchong now. Unless the emperor is called, **** Qian and Lan Shixun, the ministers of the Holy Domain, almost never have a chance to see the Emperor, the Imperial City is heavily guarded, I don't know how many times stricter than before, although all the ministers have more or less foreshadowed the strange changes in the Holy Land in the past two months, but Jinling City, which is still calm on the surface, is silent for everyone, and one by one has become much more low-key. I am afraid that I will take a wrong step in this sensitive period and become cannon fodder for the emperor to clean up the government and the opposition.

Yes, Emperor Yanchong is indeed taking this opportunity to vigorously rectify the dynasty. And Lan Shixun is different from **** Qian and other ministers, **** Qian These people are anxious but helpless because they can't see the emperor. But Lan Shixun knew the root of all this, and it was in his rebellion plan, so Lan Shixun had lived quite comfortably in the past two months, hiding in the Lan Mansion all day long to discuss the next major matters with Lan Jin and a group of cronies.

The natural disasters* outside Jinling City have never stopped, but the turmoil in Jinling City is also endless. I don't know when it began, there was such a controversial nursery rhyme in Jinling City: "The imperial city is full of wine, and the alleys of Jinling are empty." Those who love wine can't ask for it, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun and cold dew. ”

The meaning of this nursery rhyme can be heard even by a fool, although I don't know where this nursery rhyme came from and why it spread, but the irony in it is particularly refreshing. Especially the last sentence "People who love wine can't ask for it, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun and cold dew", the scorching sun naturally refers to the surname of the royal family "Yan", and Han Lu is alluding to "Han Lu", to put it bluntly, it refers to Han Xiao and **** Qian, the two holy domain ministers. The general meaning of this nursery rhyme is that in the current imperial city of Jinling, the wine of power has been firmly controlled by the two 'Han Lu', which makes the other subjects fear them, and even the fear of them is stronger than the fear of the emperor.

As soon as this ballad spread, **** Qian had already expected that something was wrong, and tried to see the emperor several times, but he was turned away from the imperial city. Although **** Qian knew that the spread of this nursery rhyme was intentional by people with ulterior motives, he was helpless because he couldn't see the emperor and couldn't justify his innocence. And the emperor's attitude towards him has never been distempered, which has also made **** Qian not sleep well for a day in the past two months.

Of course, this kind of rumor will not only spread among the market, but over time, it will naturally spread to the imperial city and enter the ears of Emperor Yan Chong. And Yan Chong has never expressed his attitude towards this, and when he first heard this nursery rhyme, he just smiled lightly, even if the four holy kings jointly requested a thorough investigation of the matter, the emperor Yan Chong did not delve into it. After all, the priority is the countless disasters in the Sanctuary, not to chase after the wind and shadows to pursue a nursery rhyme.

Although the emperor didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't mind. This point, **** Qian, like everyone, knows it.

Linghuang Yanchong and the four holy kings, who were immersed in these bustling troubles all day long, had hardly slept in the past two months, summoning officials from all over the holy realm all day long, listening to their cries and requests, the golden hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere, which made Linghuang Yanchong very annoying.

At this moment, the sky was only dark, and there was even a hint of darkness on the eve of dawn. After another sleepless night, the Emperor and the Four Great Holy Kings were sitting in the Golden Palace discussing something. At this moment, several of them looked extremely tired, and Emperor Yan Chong's eyes were even darker, his face was dry, and the whole person looked at least ten years older than before, which was enough to show how tired Yan Chong had been in the past two months.

"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn, why don't you go back and rest now!" Elder Yan of the Holy East King was solemn, and there was a hint of worry in his tone.

Hearing Yan Yi's words, Saint North King Yan Lie, Saint West King Yan Zheng, and Saint South King Yan Hao couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

"Your Majesty, don't work too hard, everything still has to focus on your body!" Yan Zheng couldn't stop persuading.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Emperor Yan Chong couldn't help but throw a piece of music in his hand on the dragon book case, at this moment, his dragon book case was densely packed with hundreds of books from all over the holy area, "Internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles, ......"

"Report!"

Listening to the words of Emperor Yan Chong, the four holy kings all looked distressed, and before they could open their mouths again to convince them, a crisp sound suddenly came from outside the Golden Palace, and then under the consciousness of the Emperor, I saw an internal official trotting all the way into the Golden Palace, kneeling down in front of the Emperor from a distance.

"Say!" Linghuang Yanchong glanced at the internal officials slightly, and then said lightly absentmindedly, "Where is the person coming this time?"

Hearing the Emperor's words, the Four Great Saint Kings couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. In the past two months, they have received dozens of such reports almost every day.

"Yes!" replied with a shudder, "this time it's from the north......"

"Oh?" As soon as the word Northern Xinjiang was mentioned, Ling Huang Yan Chong's originally drooping eyelids instantly rose, and then a faint light radiated from his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

"He claims to be Feng Yang, the protégé of the Holy East King, and at this moment he is kneeling outside the imperial city with nine beast captives and begging to see His Majesty!"

"Hiss!" As soon as the internal official said this, the leading emperor and the four holy kings in the golden palace were all in good spirits, and as for the holy east king Yan Yi, he was even more violent
