Chapter 158: The Flames of War

Chu Empire, in the imperial capital.

Emperor Chu Ba did not wear a yellow robe, but a military uniform, sitting on the court, pressing his sword and looking at the ministers in the audience. In the court, the high-ranking officials of the Chuba Empire had already arrived, standing in two rows, all with low faces and gloomy faces, as if something big was about to happen.

"Father, the military is dangerous, and the body of the father and the emperor must not be involved in the battlefield. Erchen was willing to lead his troops to intercept the steppe barbarians. The King of Qianfeng County walked out of the crowd and bowed to Emperor Chu Ba.

The prime minister also walked out of the crowd and said: "What the king of the county said is very true, the war on the front line is erosive, and His Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person, if there is a good one, who in the whole country can afford this big burden." Please also think twice. ”

Master Chu Yuan and his two apprentices were also above the court, sitting under the emperor's throne, but he kept his eyes closed. No matter how Qianfeng gave him a look and let him persuade him, Chu Yuan just didn't see it.

"No more need. Emperor Chuba waved his hand and said, "It is precisely because of the erosion of the war that I want to conquer in person." I am not only the emperor of the Chu Empire, but also a master of the king, if I don't make a move, who can stop the great barbarian king of the grassland! Is it possible for me to watch the traitors of the grassland barbarian country and the Xiang army, kill all my courtiers and generals, and come to force the palace!"

On the Xuanyuan Continent, the two countries are at war, competing not only for manpower and material resources, but more importantly, for the duel of peak masters. Ordinary soldiers can only be used to charge into battle and occupy maintenance. What determines victory or defeat is often a duel of high-end strength.

Thus there were some first-class empires, although the land area was small and the population was sparse. But other countries did not dare to offend, precisely because there were masters in the great empire. Let you come to the army of millions and millions, I only need a top master, fight into the battle, take the head of the main general or even the emperor of the other party, and the war will be over.

Although the steppe barbarian iron horse is strong. But the real high-end power volume. It is a middle-level barbarian king of a human king, and a small barbarian king with more than a dozen overlords at the peak and the beginning of the human king.

"The most hateful thing is Xiang Jun! That guy has received the grace of the country and is a very popular minister. It turned on and off, and put it into the prairie to ride. He even led the army himself. If you take him. I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives!" King Qianfeng said indignantly.

Xiang Jun is mentioned. All the ministers had angry expressions on their faces. If the Xiang army did not switch to the enemy, it would be impossible for the army of the grassland barbarians to enter the pass. After entering the customs, Xiang Jun took the initiative to act as a lackey of the grassland barbarians. Lead the way for the steppe army, and even take the lead in breaking through the barriers.

With the help of Xiang's army, within a month, the grassland barbarian country was like a bamboo, breaking through seven prefectures in a row, killing more than one million people, and plundering countless wealth and population. The entire southwest of the Chuba Empire became a scorched earth, and the war quickly spread to the hinterland of the empire.

The six generals of the overlord realm of the Chu Empire, a marshal of the first rank of the human king, were killed in battle, and the army of 200,000 hastily gathered was also annihilated. Not to mention, along the way, the seven mansions that were ravaged by the iron hooves of the grassland, in those mansions, there were cultivation families, but they couldn't resist the iron hooves of the grassland barbarians at all. After all, with the strength of a cultivator from a family to deal with a country, it is simply like a mantis arm as a car. The cultivators in the southwest of the Chuba Empire were almost uprooted, and it was difficult to recover their vitality for decades.

Due to the lack of high-end volume, the Chu Ba Empire often did not suffer on the battlefield in terms of soldiers, but the two armies did not start fighting, and the masters of the other side flew in, broke into the army, and killed the general. As soon as the commander died, the remaining soldiers became a plate of scattered sand, scattered in a rush, and could only be slaughtered.

Therefore, Emperor Chuba discussed with Chu Yuan, and prepared to take the masters of the Chuba Empire to conquer in person.

"Since His Majesty has decided, the old man doesn't say anything. There are nearly twenty people in our people's king masters and overlord masters, and if they are used properly, they can barely deal with the group of barbarians in the grassland. There is just one person who needs special attention. Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

Chu Yuan broke through and entered the first rank of the king of people a few days ago, although the Xuan Qi cultivation is not top, but he still has the identity of a senior formation master, after the disappearance of the Ba Fierce, he is the first national teacher of the Chu Empire, and his status is still above the prime minister, as soon as he speaks, the eyes of the courtiers converge on him.

"I don't know who the national teacher is talking about? Could it be the national teacher of the steppe barbarian country? But according to the spies' report, this person has never appeared since the beginning of the war. Emperor Chuba's eyes flashed, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Although the national teacher of the steppe barbarian country is powerful, he may not be an opponent under His Majesty. I'm talking about a man in black next to Xiang Jun. Chu Yuan said.

"Well, this person knows the truth, but he seems to have never made a move, according to the spies, he is the military division of the Xiang army, and he is just giving advice to the Xiang army. I don't know why the national teacher is wary of this person?" said Emperor Chu Ba.

Chu Yuan showed a cautious look on his face and said, "This person has been following Xiang Jun and giving advice, and he really rarely takes action in person. But according to the dead soldier I sent, his skills are probably the strongest among the combined forces of the grassland and Xiang army. ”

After that, Xiang Jun said to the outside of the hall: "Come in." ”

Outside the hall, a young woman, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a white cloth tied around her head, turned out to be a mourner.

It was one of the husband and wife masters under Chu Yuan.

"This is one of my dead men. Qin Yi, you tell you and Your Majesty what you see. Chu Yuan said.

The woman nodded, her voice was emotionless, like ice, and said, "My husband and wife were ordered by Xiang Junjun to visit the camp, and found that the black-clothed military division was spying with a few people. I was helpless, and my husband was killed by him in one move to help me escape. My cultivation is also in vain. ”

"Wow!" there was an exclamation in the court. Most people know this couple, they are the number one master under Chu Yuan, the man is already the first rank of the king of people, and the woman is also the peak of the hegemon, even in the Chu Empire.

Unexpectedly, the two joined forces, but they couldn't resist the black-clothed military division's move! Moreover, the man was killed, and although the female escaped, she abolished her cultivation, which shows how terrifying the strength of the black-clothed military division is!

Emperor Chuba's face sank, and he said, "Could anyone else make a move at that time?"

Qin Yi shook his head: "Only the black-clothed military master made a move, and he only made one move." I don't think he's using all his strength yet. ”

Emperor Chuba's eyebrows furrowed tightly. With his own strength, if he wanted to kill the couple, it would not be impossible. But it will definitely take a lot of effort, and it is in the case that the other party does not escape, especially the man who is the first rank of the king, if he is bent on escaping, he is not 100% sure.

But the black-clothed military division only used one move!

"Could it be that he is already a master of the Tongxuan realm!" Emperor Chu Ba glanced at Chu Yuan, and both sides saw such doubts in each other's eyes. This is the only way to explain it.

The steppe barbarian kingdom and the Chuba Empire both belong to third-class empires, and at most they are powerful third-class empires. And among the third-class empires, the highest-end strength will not exceed the realm of life cultivation, and many third-class empires even only have the first-level masters of the human king, and they don't even have the peak of the human king.

Tongxuan master, that is an existence that only second-class empires and first-class empires have. Could it be that there is already a certain second-class empire, or even a first-class empire, that has intervened in the war between the grassland and the Chuba Empire, or even simply manipulated it behind the scenes?

"Here, do whatever it takes, collect the information of the black-clothed military division. Emperor Chuba said suddenly.

Behind the throne, a dark shadow suddenly twisted and flashed twice, and answered: No. And then it vanished.

"In that case, please think twice. Qianfeng persuaded again.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at the Emperor of Chu Ba, waiting for his decision.

Emperor Chuba thought for a moment, and suddenly Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

"Qianfeng, you are wrong about this truth. If the other party is really a master of the Xuan, what is the use of me hiding in the palace? It is better to fight with him, even if he dies in battle, he is worthy of the ancestral inheritance. On the contrary, if the other party is not a master of Tongxuan, but I am frightened by him, I dare not fight, and watch the imperial master die in vain, wouldn't it be in harmony with the other party's intentions, and I will be laughed at by the people of the world?"

"That's right...... But ......"

Qian Feng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Emperor Chu Ba and said, "Half of the empire has fallen, and I will never sit alone in the palace." Three days later, after this battle, if you win, all evils will retreat, and if you lose, the thousand-year national fortune of the Chuba Empire will end. Looking at the history books for thousands of years, can there be an empire that lasts forever? But cultivators like us are taking the path of fighting for our lives with the sky, and even if we are in a desperate situation, we can't give up easily, and we have to fight hard with all our might. ”

Seeing that Emperor Chuba had made up his mind, Qian Feng couldn't persuade him anymore, but said, "Father, since it is a national master, Qin Qing has not come back yet." It's better to wait for him, when he left, he was already a master of the hegemon, and he also subdued many powerful demon beasts, which was a powerful help. He has been gone for a long time, and maybe something will happen to him. ”

After Qin Qing appeared, there were too many surprises and shocks to the entire Chu Empire, and with the strength of the Nine Heavens, he easily defeated Xiang Cheng and became the personal disciple of Master Chu Yuan. Then he was chased and killed by the middle-level master of the king of people, Ba Fierce, and even the most rearly of Ba Fierce was nowhere to be found. In just a few months, he was promoted to the overlord realm, and the speed of cultivation was staggering.

Not only is the Xuan Qi cultivation amazing, but the formation is also a genius, even Master Chu Yuan himself has said more than once that Qin Qing, an apprentice, will be able to surpass him in a few years. Before the age of thirty, at least become a large array master.

"Speaking of Qin Qing's kid, I thought of Tianhe Mansion. Emperor Chu Ba asked, "How is the battle situation in Tianhe Mansion?" (to be continued......
