Chapter 149: Unification is reached
Perhaps his biggest regret in his previous life was that he was not able to get together with Jiang Jingwen, although he had returned to the Lizhou Continent once after cultivating immortals for two thousand years. However, all he found was a tombstone engraved with Jiang Jingwen's name, which made him regret it for a long time, blaming himself for coming back too late.
Thinking of this, he suddenly hugged Jiang Jingwen tightly in his arms.
In this life, he was finally able to be with her, and he also unexpectedly gained another feeling, Ji Lingshan. He is also very grateful to Ji Lingshan. Ji Lingshan had no complaints about her efforts, and when the Ling family's shop was in the most critical situation, she stood up desperately and resolutely asked Ji Lao to support her. When her parents were threatened, she was willing to sacrifice herself rather than let Ling Zixuan's parents be harmed.
All this made Ling Zixuan full of gratitude and admiration for Ji Lingshan, how could I Ling Zixuan bear such a woman.
"Zixuan, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Jingwen asked worriedly when she saw Ling Zixuan suddenly like this.
"Jingwen, I won't leave you and Lingshan behind in this life, I will definitely do my best to protect you." Ling Zixuan said with emotion.
"In this life?" After Jiang Jingwen listened to Ling Zixuan's words, she was shocked, could it be that he already knew that I had opened the memories of my previous life? No, he's talking about his own life, isn't it...
"Jingwen, no matter what, I'm going to impact the Yuan Infant Realm and try to break through this space barrier that is comfortable for us." Ling Zixuan felt that since he hadn't thought of a better way at the moment, why not try to break through, even if it didn't lead to a catastrophe, but the improvement of his strength would always give him a little more certainty.
"Well, okay, I'll be there for you!" Jiang Jingwen said softly. She had already thought about it, if Ling Zixuan broke through or failed to break through this barrier, she would not be ready to hide her strength anymore, restore the Yuanying realm, and use her natal Dao fire to help Ling Zixuan break through the spatial barrier together.
"Xiao Ai, I still decided to break through to the Yuanying Realm first, no matter whether it will lead to a catastrophe, at least the improvement of my strength will give me a little more protection."
"You can ... Hey, okay. Then I'll help you refine the "Yuanying Pill" first, anyway, the materials in the Baicao Garden have already been prepared. "Xiao Ai wanted to say and stopped, in fact, it originally wanted to say that your little girlfriend's natal Dao fire could break this spatial enchantment, but after thinking about it, it still didn't say it.
Soon, a bottle of the best "Yuan Ying Dan" containing Dan Yun appeared in Ling Zixuan's hand, and then a bottle of the best "Xuanling Pill" appeared at the same time. Ling Zixuan currently only has the strength of the late stage of Jindan, so he needs to hit the peak of Jindan before he can take the "Yuanying Pill" to break through Yuanying.
So he didn't hesitate to swallow the "Xuanling Pill" to start breaking through himself.
Just when Ling Zixuan and Jiang Jingwen were trapped in the spatial enchantment, the Liyang Dynasty could be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes. Not to mention that the king of Lin'an raised troops in the three states of the East China Sea, and successively recovered Linjiang City and Donghai City, even the vast cliff is also precarious, and it has been besieged for more than 20 days, and the garrison materials and grain and grass in the city are about to run out.
The 20,000 defenders led by Lin Shanhai experienced more than half of the fierce siege battles of the Lin'an rebels after more than a dozen fierce siege battles, and the remaining soldiers were exhausted, so they had to divide their troops to guard the east, west, and south gates.
Among the people, the young and strong also actively participated in the defense of the city, but in the face of the siege of 100,000 troops, it was indeed to the point of running out of ammunition and food.
The situation in the three states of Yanbei was not good, and the 200,000 troops of the Xiongnu army approached thirty miles outside the city of Yanbei. Ready to go, as if he was about to go to war with the Liyang Dynasty at any time. The 200,000 Beiping troops in Yanbei City could only wait for the battle, and they did not dare to divide their troops back to the capital to support the defense.
At the same time, in the southern border of Liyang, the cities of Nanjiang, Jiangbei and Nanning in the three states of Nanyue formed a horn trend, defending against the natural dangers of Nanling from Nanban again and again. This time, there were many people from the Wu clan in the Nanban, controlling a large number of poisonous insects to assist the Nanban in attacking the southern border of Liyang.
It brought unprecedented challenges to the general Wei Di'an and Ouyang Shaobo, the deputy general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the soldiers were injured by poisonous insects, and the 100,000-strong army was reduced by one-fifth without war, reaching about 20,000 people. If it weren't for the natural danger of Nanling, the situation in the south would be even more dangerous than in the north.
The entire Liyang Dynasty's Beiping Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army were trapped by the border war, unable to rescue the East China Sea Cliff, and unable to withdraw to the capital to help the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army guard the capital. This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unable to deal with this sudden Liyang crisis at all.
At this time, the national teacher also suddenly evaporated from the world, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no national teacher to give advice, and he simply became a headless fly, and he didn't know what to do.
The ministers invited the prince to ask His Majesty for help, but the prince didn't know where his father was. He visited the Qianqing Palace many times before, but there was no figure of his father. The entire early dynasty retreated in a sigh from everyone. Several important ministers of the court have begun to discuss how to climb the big ship of King Lin'an.
The third prince and the ninth princess are also very busy these days, constantly contacting the old ministers in the army privately, but the effect is very little, after all, the generals in the military power are either at the border, or in the East China Sea by the king of Lin'an. Just when the two of them were anxious, two unfamiliar figures appeared at the gate of Huaqing Palace.
"Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, Jiang Tiefeng and Ji Changgeng have come to visit!" These two people also retreated, and when they saw that they were negative on the left and right, after discussing a few words, they rushed directly to Huaqing Palace. Because they knew that the Ninth Princess and Ling Zixuan had a close relationship, finding the Ninth Princess was equivalent to finding Ling Zixuan. At a time when this country was in danger, in their minds, Ling Zixuan was a man who could definitely save the status quo of the Liyang Dynasty.
When the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince were worried that there was no one to find, the two newly promoted military department scholars and auxiliary generals took the initiative to come to them, and the two hurriedly got up to greet them.
After some conversation, I learned that these two people had a deep relationship with their master Ling Zixuan. The ninth princess suddenly remembered that at the birthday banquet of the old man of the Ling family, she seemed to have seen Ji Changgeng also at the scene.
"General Ji and Jiang Shangshu, I'm very sorry, I really don't know where the master went, but I know that the purpose of her and Miss Jiang returning to Donghai City is to delay the King of Lin'an to raise troops. However, two days ago, Tianlan Sect Tiansha sent someone to tell me that the master and Miss Jiang seemed to have been robbed on the way again, and they are currently missing, and it is very likely that they were arrested by the national teacher. And the national teacher has also disappeared without a trace, and the Tianlan Sect is also looking for the master and Miss Jiang in a very anxious way. The ninth princess said to the two.
Hearing that Ling Zixuan and Jiang Jingwen were taken away by the national teacher, the two of them were immediately disheartened and their faces were solemn. Jiang Tiefeng, in particular, felt even more dizzy, and his body involuntarily fell towards the chair on the side.
"Jiang Shangshu, since Miss Jiang is with the master, don't worry too much, with the master's love for Miss Jiang, even if you sacrifice yourself, you will definitely keep Miss Jiang safe!" The ninth princess helped Jiang Tiefeng and comforted.
After listening to the comfort of the ninth princess, Jiang Tiefeng calmed down a little, and wanted the ninth princess to bow and apologize for his gaffe.
The third prince informed the two of them that Ling Zixuan would take care of him and the ninth princess before leaving, but it was not going well so far. Except for some relatively familiar ministers who are willing to support them themselves, those ministers with heavy troops are all respectful, unwilling to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the national teacher, let alone fight against the King of Lin'an.
This made them very distressed, seeing that the 100,000 army of King Lin'an was about to break through the vast cliff and go straight to the capital, but they had no way at all.
After Jiang Tiefeng and Ji Changgeng understood the concerns of the ninth princess and the third prince, they expressed their willingness to stand on the side of the two royal highnesses, and promised to lobby Cai Yuankui, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, if Cai Yuankui was also willing to believe the two highnesses, then the 50,000 Royal Forest Army could resist the army of King Lin'an.
Just as the two were about to leave, another familiar figure of the ninth princess and the third prince came to the Huaqing Palace. Ling Buregret's appearance made the two highnesses see a glimmer of hope again. Sure enough, Ling Buregret took the initiative to find the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince because he suspected that His Majesty was being held hostage by the national teacher, so he came to inquire about the situation.
Several people came by chance and reached a united front. After the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince sent the three of them away, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, recalling that several people were so sincerely willing to be on their side, and they couldn't do without their full trust and admiration for one, and that person was Master Ling Zixuan.
The Ninth Princess looked at the far east, "Master, you must not be fine!" We need you, and the Liyang Dynasty needs you! ”
