As the name suggests, the year-round snow covers almost the entire peak, and those mountain rocks wrapped in ice and snow, looking from a distance, are like scattered pieces of white jade, radiating a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

Isolated from a large and relatively flat rock at the summit, the Duxiao Dome has been silently overlooking somewhere below the mountain.

Although he was obscured by the clouds and mist in the mountains, and could hardly see anything, he clearly knew that there was a team of hundreds of people hiding in the narrow gorge at this moment, waiting for his order to attack.

Most of the people in this team are good soldiers selected from the army, and in addition, there are fifty disciples of the Chiyang Sect.

To be honest, for the sneak attack planned by Yu Wengang, Duxiaoqiong was not optimistic at all.

Or to put it more simply, Duxiaoqiong is resolutely opposed to the entire southern expedition launched by Yu Wengang.

In the mind of the former Chiyang Sect Master, even if everything went smoothly this operation, this team of hundreds of people crossed the gorge, went around the back of the Yu army, successfully attacked it, and even directly opened the gate of Jinmen Pass, let the army of Rong Guo drive straight in, and then captured the entire Yongzhou City. But this does not mean that the entire southern expedition will eventually succeed.

Because next, it is necessary to go deep into the territory of Yuguo. The Darong Iron Cavalry will face the enemy's strong walls and clear fields, as well as the constant harassment and siege from all walks of life.

The commander of the Darong Southern Expeditionary Army, although he is Yu Wenliang, the cousin Yu Wenliang relied on, some other important generals in the team are still the military center of the Queen Mother.

Although Yu Wengang had already controlled the sick Empress Dowager and further seized the military and political power, in the hearts of most of the Darong courtiers and generals, they still had a contempt and suspicion for this young emperor who killed his father and usurped the throne and was stubborn and self-serving.

And this attitude of contempt and suspicion will naturally spread imperceptibly from those generals to the hearts of every soldier.

Although Yu Wenliang is a fierce general, he definitely does not have the ability and time to completely dispel the doubts in the hearts of those soldiers and put this team of more than 200,000 people completely under his control.

In this way, under the unfavorable situation of insufficient food and grass and weak morale, how far can this seemingly invincible Darong iron cavalry advance?

Although this terrible consequence had been clearly foreseen, Du Xiaoqiong could only stand by and watch without saying a word.

Because, the Queen Mother is still in the hands of Yu Wengang!

Although Duxiaoqiong knew very well that in the heart of the queen mother, she had never treated herself as her own son. But he still couldn't do it, ignoring the woman who had given birth to him.

As a result, he, the former Chiyang Sect Master, had to bow his head to Yu Wengang, and he was cheeky and asked His Majesty the Emperor for fifty Chiyang Sect disciples, who were also the secret guards of the Secret Guard Division, for his own guidance.

In any case, this can be regarded as the last filial piety that he, as a son of man, can fulfill for the old ancestor of the Queen Mother.

For this final battle with the cold ice, Duxiaoqiong's heart is actually not sure of victory.

Although he knew that after Han Bing was seriously injured, it would be difficult for his strength to recover completely. But he also knew that that scheming young man would never be slaughtered at will!

Masters compete with each other, and the fight is only in the millimeter.

And peerless masters compete with each other, but what they fight for is in a thought.

Perhaps Han Bing's skill was far inferior to Duxiaoqiong, but in terms of the belief in victory, that young man was far stronger than him, the former Chiyang Sect Master.

Because for Han Bing, if he wins this duel, it will be able to boost morale and make Dayu's country more stable.

And for Duxiaoqiong, even if he defeated Han Bing, he couldn't restore the sloppy military spirit, let alone save the Queen Mother's life. And the most important thing is that it can't change the fate of Da Rong's demise!

The founder of the Red Sun Divine Cult, the King of Chiyang, who has the wisdom of heaven and man, once left two proverbs: the disaster of Zhurong, the disaster of the collapse of the sky.

And he also warned that once these two signs appeared, Da Rong must not start a war with Yuguo within the year, otherwise, there would be a danger of destroying the country.

Now, the disaster of Zhurong and the disaster of the collapse of the sky have been caused by Han Bing, the eldest son of the emperor of Yuguo. And Yu Wengang completely ignored the warning of the Queen Mother, and finally raised troops to attack Yu during the year and began his so-called southern expedition.

All these things have happened, so that Duxiaoqiong's heart is gradually occupied by a desperate emotion, and there is no hope in sight.

This is also an important reason why he resolutely passed on the position of sect leader to Gongyu Sarong.

Because Duxiaoqiong had already expected that after the Queen Mother lost power, the narrow-minded Yu Wengang would inevitably vent all the hatred for the King of Chiyang and even the Queen Mother that he had accumulated in his heart for many years, on his head, the illegitimate son of the King of Chiyang and the Queen Mother.

If he was still the leader of the Chiyang Sect, Yu Wengang would definitely take action to remove his wings, the Chiyang Sect, first, and then deal with him.

Therefore, Duxiaoqiong decided to save the step of eliminating the Chiyang Sect for Yu Wengang, and dissociated himself from the Chiyang Sect in advance, so that Yu Wengang had no way to start, and there was no way to take the Chiyang Sect for the time being.

Moreover, Duxiaoqiong believes that although his beloved disciple Gongyu Sarong has a somewhat straightforward temperament, it is precisely because of his simple heart that he can lead the Chiyang Sect to gradually get rid of all kinds of ties with the imperial court, return to the right path of self-cultivation and the pursuit of the way of heaven, and finally become the Chiyang Divine Sect that is truly worshiped by the world.

In addition, without the shackles of the Chiyang Sect, Duxiaoqiong himself also felt a sense of relief and relief.

Next, he can do his best to do the last thing for the Empress Dowager's ancestor, and hope that he can win a chance for her to die.

Yuwen Gang once made a promise to Duxiao Qiong in the name of the Yuwen royal family-

No matter what the outcome of the decisive battle between him and Han Bing is, as long as he can guarantee the final success of the sneak attack, the Queen Mother can continue to stay in Cining Palace safely, and always enjoy the honor of the lord of her harem.

Duxiaoqiong believes that Yu Wengang will definitely abide by his promise.

Because for His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother no longer poses any threat to him, but is just a tool that can be used to contain Duxiaoqiong.

Moreover, Duxiaoqiong clearly knew that somewhere under the Broken Jade Peak at this moment, there was another group of people lurking, which should be specially prepared by Yu Wengang to deal with him, the master of the former Chiyang Sect Master.

If he is lucky enough to win the decisive battle against Ice, then the next thing he will have to face is the siege and pursuit of these masters.

In fact, when the traces of these masters were first discovered, Duxiao Qiong had a great chance to get rid of them all. But he didn't make a move, but let him follow him.

Because for this former Chiyang Sect Master, except for the final battle with Han Bing, everything else didn't matter.

Even, he faintly gave birth to a strange idea, this towering broken jade peak is not an ideal place to bury bones.

However, whose place is buried?

When Du Xiaoqiong saw the handsome young man in white floating in front of him, he couldn't help but flash this question in his heart.
