Chapter 1022: The Three Armies Converge
"Whew...... Call...... Call...... Hu ......" Su Jia, who had withdrawn the sword, stood in place and gasped, not yet recovering from the victory, with anticipation in the corners of his eyes, revealing a long-lost Shenyi - in this battle, Su Jia completely defeated the past and defeated fate.

After the wind and rain, the morning sun gradually rises, and the morning light passes through the mud and stone cave, illuminating everything at the bottom of the valley, like washing away the darkness of yesterday, and warmth and light reappear in the world......
Zheng Yuhua lowered his long sword and knelt on the muddy ground with his whole body, at this time his internal strength was exhausted, and he calmly accepted the outcome of his fate. Facing the early morning sun, he looked at Su Jiayu's face with satisfaction, and said with a slight smile: "The fate between you and me, after all, is the result of this, in the end, the person who has gone mad with the imperial envoy 'Divine Sword' this time will be me - this time I was blinded by hatred and lost my true ......."
"Senior Brother Zheng......" Looking at Zheng Yuhua's words of emotion, Su Jia couldn't help muttering.
"But junior sister, you cut off my sins with your own hands, and it should be the best result of fate......" Zheng Yuhua closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel a feeling, "I have been saying that I have been thinking about Hongyun's thoughts, and I knocked you down in the 'Valley of Ghosts'......; Looking back now, I finally understand that after Hongyun's death, I am not the only one who pins my faith, and there is also you, junior sister, ......."
"Sister Xiaohong......" Zheng Yuhua said so much, not only Su Jia felt a lot, but Xu Shuang, Wu Xian and others, who had a good relationship with him before his death, also cast worried eyes in the back.
"The grievances between you and me are all caused by the red ......cloud," Zheng Yuhua smiled faintly, and said with a slight parting meaning, "I have always been concerned about the red cloud, but now I have destroyed the obsession with my own hands, and today's defeat should be retributed, and I have no regrets......
After speaking, Zheng Yuhua looked at the ground with his eyes lowered, as if he was saying his final goodbye to the world, and when his body was exhausted, his will would disappear, and his life would come to an end......
"Senior Brother Zheng-" However, Su Jia's instinctive will to survive is not only for herself, but also for others, looking at Zheng Yuhua's self-defeating expression, Su Jia shouted and flew to him.
"It's me who willingly fell into the devil, it's me who gave up and forgot the belief that has always been with me...... I'm ending up like this now, even if I die, it's reasonable......," Zheng Yuhua smiled pessimistically, and even seemed to have plans to kill himself.
"No, you haven't forgotten!" However, Su Jia still did not give up, while transporting the internal force of the "Cold Spirit Divine Skill" from Zheng Yuhua's shoulder to continue his life, he said resolutely, "For you, you have never forgotten Sister Xiaohong - the sword in your hand was given to you by Sister Xiaohong, and you never threw it......; Doesn't all this mean that in your heart, you have never forgotten Sister Xiaohong? Even if your beloved is no longer alive, you still miss it in your heart......
"Little junior sister...... Driven by the internal force of Hongyun ...... "Su Jia's "Cold Spirit Divine Skill", Zheng Yuhua's injury is gradually improving, seeing Su Jia in such a situation, but still thinking about saving himself from danger, Zheng Yuhua's heart can't help but be touched, and the picture of his vision is becoming more and more hazy.
"I swore in front of Sister Xiaohong's 'soul' that I killed her innocently in this life, and I must never let Senior Brother Zheng repeat the mistakes of the past, even if I fight for my life, I will protect Senior Brother Zheng and you......" Su Jia said as she said, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she said with sadness and warmth, "And I think if Sister Xiaohong is still alive, she doesn't want to see you like this - she not only entrusts her affection and thoughts to you, but also hopes that you will live well with this belief......"
"Red Cloud ......" Zheng Yuhua was in a trance, the light in front of him loomed, unconsciously, feeling the rhythm of the "warm current" in his body, Zheng Yuhua saw the figure of his former lover from Su Jia, and gradually fainted in a smile.
All fate turned into love, and for Zheng Yuhua, he has completely let go of his hatred for Su Jia. Instead, remember the promise he made in front of Hongyun - when Hongyun dies one day, he will inherit Hongyun's belief and take on the responsibility of taking care of and protecting Su Jia.
"I will do what you say, inherit Hongyun's wishes, and protect this girl in this life......" Zheng Yuhua smiled secretly in his heart at the last moment before he fell into a coma, "But now she has the power to change her fate, and she doesn't need you or me to continue to care for her...... Hongyun, I saw it for you, this girl's growth and transformation ......"
Immediately, Zheng Yuhua fainted from exhaustion......
"Senior Brother Zheng-" After the fate, Xu Shuang and the others finally changed their words to call him "Senior Brother", and watched Zheng Yuhua faint, and they all stepped forward to take a look at it worriedly.
Xiao Tian didn't feel at ease when he saw it, so he ran to him first, and asked worriedly: "Jia'er, Brother Zheng, ...... It's going to be okay, right?-" Knowing that this battle was extremely hard, Zheng Yuhua was on the verge of death several times, and now he was in a coma, Xiao Tian was very worried.
"Don't worry, I'll use the 'Cold Spirit Divine Skill' to heal it, and in less than half an hour, I should ......wake up," Su Jia said calmly while conveying the internal force, "The top priority now is to find a safe place to transfer Senior Brother Zheng out of here - just after the rainstorm, the rocky and soil rock formations are still unstable, and after several fierce battles here, it is very likely to collapse again......"
"Senior Sister Yi Yao is right, let's take Senior Brother Zheng out of here first-" Xu Shuang also said on the side.
"But the fierce battle has just ended, Jia'er, you are healing your injuries with internal strength, and your body is ...... Does it really matter?" Xiao Tian was worried about Su Jia's body and continued to ask.
"I'm fine now, don't worry about ......" Su Jia stood up again and said to Xiao Tian and the others, "Without further ado, let's go out first - time can't be delayed, don't forget, Sister Jing still has the task given to me......"
......Hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but be stunned - he almost forgot about his business after a fateful duel with Zheng Yuhua for one night, thinking of Su Jia's original task, Xiao Tian felt uneasy in his heart.
But now we have to get out of here as soon as possible, so Su Jia took Xu Shuang and the others, Xiao Tian carried the faint Zheng Yuhua on his back, and everyone left the cave together and left this "place where fate ends......
After Su Jia and the others left, under the bottom of the cave, they secretly followed in and watched all the battle situation, and the two wind-chasing disciples had not yet recovered from the fierce battle just now......
"I didn't expect that Senior Sister Yi Yao would be able to defeat Senior Brother Zheng's 'Heavenly God Sword Technique' without using the 'Divine Sword'......" One of them was shocked, "What a terrible little junior sister, you must know that since the 'Heavenly God Sword Technique' created by Shangguan Patriarch, this sword technique has never been defeated by a martial arts ...... other than herself."
"But in this way, the fate of the Wind Chaser will be in suspense......" the other said secretly.
"What suspense?" the Wind Chaser disciple asked again.
"It's Chen Shijin-" The other person continued, "As the head of the sect said before, the winner of Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Sister Yi Yao is qualified to kill Chen Shijin and clean up the portal for the Wind Chasing Faction...... Senior Sister Yi Yao was defeated, and I thought it would be a duel between Senior Brother Zheng and Chen Shijin, how could I have thought that today's Senior Brother and Senior Sister Yi Yao reversed the battle, and the final duel was really Chen Shijin and Senior Sister Yi Yao......
"It's back to the scene from three years ago, isn't it......" Thinking of Chen Shijin's betrayal of his master three years ago, the disciple of Chasing the Wind said secretly, "Three years ago, Senior Sister Yi Yao vowed to kill Chen Shijin with her own hands at all costs...... And now, three years later, it's finally time to cash in, and the battle of life and death between Senior Sister Yi Yao and Chen Shijin ......"
"The battle of life and death called 'revenge' is also a battle that will determine the fate of the Wind Chaser faction...... another said faintly......
After sunrise, the two disciples who chased the wind also left the bottom of the narrow valley cave......
Chenshi, in the middle of the mast gate, the vanguard army of the Ming army......
The crusade conquered the mast city and the Dingcheng, and pulled out the two "tiger teeth" at the wings of Tongguan, and the final general attack on Tongguan was close at hand. However, with the strength of the vanguard army, it was difficult to break through the barrier, and most of the main generals in the army were outside the battalion, so the general offensive strategy had to be temporarily delayed.
Originally, the main commanders of the army were Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, but now the two have not returned, and the previous military order was called by Lu Ling, and the crusade plan of Masticity and Dingcheng was exactly the strategy of Lu Ling......
It seems that there is a plan for this day, Lu Ling did not gather the whole army or patrol and train as usual, but randomly stood by his own units. And Lu Ling himself was wearing battle armor, standing alone outside the school field, staring at the front of the camp with his eyes, as if he was waiting for something......
"Dada...... Da Da Da ...... Da ...... "The fog of the early morning gradually disappeared, the morning sun passed through the clouds, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in front of me.
"Report-" At that moment, the soldiers who were searching outside the camp ran back and immediately reported to Lu Lingdao, "General Lu, General Tang and the military division are back!"
"Finally back, aren't you?" Lu Ling seemed to have finally let go of her tense heartstrings, showed a long-lost smile, and personally stepped forward to greet her......
"Dada...... Da Da Da ...... Da - "The sound of the horse's hooves got closer, and the two cavalry camps drove over, Lu Ling looked at his eyes, stepped forward a few steps and smiled away.
"Huh-" "Huh-" It was Tang Zhan and Lu Jing who came back, last night they crossed the mountains to Qingming Mountain, and met with Lao Jiu's troops in Dingcheng, and the two of them hurried to the Mast City garrison to meet Lu Ling early this morning, and it seemed that everything was in plan. Today, Lu Jing is in good spirits, obviously it has already arrived on this day, the final crusade strategy against Tongguan.
"General Tang, teacher, you have come back safely-" Lu Ling personally got on the horse to greet him, and asked with concern.
"We're fine, General Lu, everything is fine with Jing'er and I......" Tang Zhan said calmly.
"Wu Xiao, the plan here is going well, right?" Lu Jing came up and asked about the relevant military information.
"The teacher is really clever, the enemy army thinks that our army is annihilated, and the garrison of the mast city is ......lax," Lu Ling said excitedly, "The night before yesterday, we joined forces with Lao Jiu's troops inside and outside, attacked the two cities on the left and right, and almost easily took these two city passes!"
"Don't lift me up, this trick is a 'wonderful and dangerous plan', but Wu Xiao came up with ......" Lu Jing smiled slightly, and then said, "What I did was just another way to crusade against Tongguan......"
"Then teacher, you and General Tang, have you met Lao Jiu last night?" Lu Ling continued to ask, "Yesterday, I heard from the spies that the battle of Dingcheng was not all smooth sailing, and it was Miss Su who arrived later to meet the horse, and Lao Jiu's side stabilized the morale of the army and conquered the city in one fell swoop......
"We saw Lao Jiu over there yesterday, and the situation of the troops is fine...... Lu Jing smiled and said, "There is no way to meet a little obstruction, after all, the generals in the army are not manpowered, and in the end, Sister Su was allowed to ride reinforcements alone, and only then did she solve the ...... of 'the difficulty of fixing the city'."
However, when it comes to this, the atmosphere is inexplicably a little sad, and the scene is immediately quiet. Only then did Lu Jing realize that she had said something wrong, and her expression gradually became sad—because everyone knew very well that when it came to the matter of 'insufficient manpower', everyone would think of Qin Yu, Murong Ying, and Hu Yidi, who died in battle......
"By the way, teacher, what should I do next?" In order to break the cold atmosphere, Lu Ling returned to the topic and asked, "Now that Mast City and Dingcheng are defeated, the next step is the general attack on Tongguan...... However, with our current strength, it is still too difficult to take such a dangerous place as Tongguan, and my strategy has not thought of a general attack, teacher, you ...... Are there any plans for extension?"
"Don't worry, I naturally have a ...... in my heart" Lu Jing seemed to be confident, and said secretly, "Moreover, there is still one step left in my plan to be completed, the most dangerous step...... Sister Su......"
"Jing'er, what did you say...... Could it be—" Tang Zhan seemed to have guessed as well, and said in response.
"Chen Shijin ......" Lu Jing faintly responded, "I can't let go of the most important level in my heart......"
"Brother Xiao and I have succeeded, and now there is really Miss Su left, right...... In the whole plan, the most dangerous level ......" Tang Zhan replied in a condensed voice, and then asked, "However, even if Miss Su succeeds successfully, the troops in our hands to crusade against Tongguan are insufficient, what should be the general attack strategy?"
"It's okay, we don't have to worry about this......" Lu Jing suddenly said a word, revealing an unpredictable smile.
"We don't have to worry about it...... What does that mean?" At this point, Tang Zhan was completely unaware, and couldn't help but wonder.
"I believe that someone will be more concerned about the battle situation in Tongguan than us......" Lu Jing said with a faint seriousness in his smile, "Ah, if I guessed correctly, he should have come by now......"
"Report!-" As soon as the words fell, outside the tent, another report from the spies came back.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the soldier's expression more anxious, thinking that something terrible had happened, Lu Ling asked solemnly.
"Report to the general, report to the military division - ten miles away, the emperor and Marshal Xu personally led an army of 100,000 and are coming towards the garrison of our army's Mast City!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was different, but Lu Jing looked calm, as if she had already guessed the result......
"The emperor actually ...... The Imperial Commander is coming?!—" Tang Zhan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Did you expect that we had already taken the two dangerous passes of Masticity and Dingcheng, and the three armies would meet together to discuss the matter of the general attack?" Lu Ling couldn't help but guess.
"It's not just expected, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang has already counted it in his heart, all the actions under our army ......" is the same as he expected, Lu Jing couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, "But it's just right, I happen to have a problem, I want to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for advice in person......"
"The emperor came without an edict or advance notice, what should we ......do now" Faced with the sudden arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang and 100,000 troops, Tang Zhan was a little at a loss.
"Of course, we will go to greet the emperor in person...... Silly, let's go-" Lu Jing showed a mysterious expression and said Zhenzhen......
