In the half month after Bitter Lyric left the palace of Xiang'e, Shi Dewa and the soldier lord Da Ran led 100,000 soldiers to occupy the prefecture capital county south of the royal city of Ezhou.

As soon as the news spread that the troops of the Nine Desolate Mountains had broken through the Qiqing Royal City and that Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, had fled in defeat, the officers and soldiers of the dynasty in the nearby prefectures and counties did not dare to engage the formations of the Nine Desolate Mountains head-on.

Wherever the soldiers of the Nine Desolation Mountains went, the officers and soldiers of the dynasty either abandoned the city and fled, or opened the city gates and surrendered to the Nine Desolation Mountains.

There are two reasons why the soldiers of Jiuhuangling were able to occupy the territory south of Ezhou without bloodshed. First, a large number of dynastic soldiers who fled north spread messages of sympathy for the Nine Desolation Mountains, and some soldiers who were dissatisfied with the powerful and high-pressure rule of the dynasty slaughtered thousands of ordinary people in the Nine Desolation Mountains, deliberately saying that they had slaughtered tens of thousands of people. Second, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, secretly sent a few henchmen and generals to inform several prefectures and city guards not to resist desperately.

After the soldiers of Jiuhuangling occupied the capital city south of the Ezhou Wangcheng, the bitter endive and Feng Dewa came to the capital city.

On the way to Jiuhuangling, Feng Dewa was poisoned and fell into a coma, and the servants led people to carry Feng Dewa to the east for healing, and Shi Dewa and Feng Dewa were separated. After that, Shi Dewa grew up to be the commander of the formation in the Nine Desolation Mountains, and practiced the world's armed forces, while Feng Dewa grew up to become the leader in the Suhuomen, and practiced the Nine Piles and Eighteen Exercises founded by Ku Qiang, and met the predecessors of the Medicine Demon, and learned the peerless magic skills created by the predecessors of the Medicine Demon and the head of the palace, Zhang Hehe.

After nearly ten years of separation, his father Cangdewa also passed away, and in the remote city in the battlefield, the three brothers and sisters of Shidewa, Fengdewa, and Diedewa were reunited.

The three siblings hugged their heads and cried, and after talking all night, they vowed to get rid of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, to avenge their father Cangdewa and the Great Rumor Shi Hedang, and to avenge all the people on Yong'an Island who had been imprisoned for eight years.

After dawn, after breakfast, the generals of the Nine Desolation Mountains gathered in the Fucheng Mansion to discuss the major matter of attacking the Ezhou Wangcheng. The soldiers Da Ran and Shi Dewa sat in the middle of the hall, and on both sides sat Bitter Endive, Mu Jianduo, Feng Dewa, Diedewa and others.

Shi Dewa advocated that he would march to Ezhou tomorrow, while Feng Dewa advocated taking a look at the movements in Ezhou first and waiting for an opportunity.

While everyone was discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the two opinions, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, sent a messenger to deliver a letter.

When the soldier master Da Ran opened the letter, a smile appeared on his face.

The general content of the letter: In order to avoid a situation in which the troops of both sides suffered a large number of casualties, the two sides could each send three people to conduct three armed contests; if Xu Zheng, the king of Xianghu, won two battles, the Jiuhuangling side would retreat, and if the Jiuhuangling side won two battles, Xu Zheng, the king of Xianghu, would open the gate of Ezhou to make way for the Jiuhuangling troops; and the contest would be held at a school field on the outskirts of Ezhou.

After the soldier lord Da Ran told the people in the hall the contents of the letter, Shi Dewa was the first to stand up and express his agreement to fight, and then Mu Jianduo, Feng Dewa and others stood up and agreed to fight......

Three days later, the soldiers Da Ran and Shi Dewa led the generals and 5,000 soldiers to the school field on the outskirts of Ezhou City.

The school field is twenty miles away from Ezhou City, and there is a parade platform made of boulders more than ten zhang square in the middle of the school field.

The 5,000 soldiers of Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, arrived first, and they occupied the place to the east of the parade platform, and the people of Jiuhuangling naturally occupied the place to the west of the parade platform.

A row of chairs was placed on the east and west sides of the parade platform, and the commanders of both sides sat on top of the chairs. On a row of chairs on the side of the king of Xiang'e, there were Zhou Chi, the marshal of the palace of the capital, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, Xu Zhan, the military marshal, Sun Xun, and others; on the chairs of the Jiuhuangling side, sat the soldiers Da Ran, Shi Dewa, Feng Dewa, Diedewa, Mu Jianduo and others, and the bitter endive did not come to the school field.

Before the competition, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, ordered two documents to be sent to the soldier lord Daran, which wrote the method of the competition and what the losing side would do for the victorious side after the competition.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, had already signed and drawn the two documents in advance, and he sent two documents for the soldiers Da Ran and Shi Dewa to sign and draw on them.

After reading the paperwork, the soldiers Daran and Shi Dewa immediately signed and drew on it.

After Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, and Da Ran, the lord of the soldiers, each kept a document, the competition began.

The one who walked on the parade platform first on the side of the king of Xiang'e came to help, and the son of the king of Liangjiang followed him. When he practiced martial arts in the Imperial Martial Academy, among the sons of the Seven Kings, in addition to Feng Rui, Sun Xun had the highest military strength; now among the sons of the Seven Kings, only Feng Rui and Sun Xun's strength reached the level of the Great Martial Sect, so Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, used Sun Xun to replace his son Xu Zhan on the stage to compete.

The seat on the side of the Nine Desolate Mountains was very close to the parade platform, and Diedeva on the seat recognized Sun Xun at a glance as soon as he saw him. Diedeva couldn't help but touch the jade pendant on his neck, and his heart jumped up sharply.

In the early morning of more than ten years ago, in the Imperial Martial Academy, she and Sun Xun traveled the world with the son of the Seven Kings after half a year of meeting; the two admired each other, Sun Xun gave the ancestral jade pendant to Diedewa, and Diedeva gave Sun Xun the woodcarved tiger given to her by her mother, the pharmacist and mother-in-law.

After that, Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, died, Yong'an Island was sealed, and Diedeva fled to Jiuhuangling. From the moment Sun Xun desperately sucked the poison of the painted spider on her arm, the image of the handsome and elegant Sun Xun took root in her heart. Otherwise, when Shi Dewa gave Diedeva his own soldier lord Daran, she would not have refused, because the soldier master Daran was a great man worthy of the trust of any good woman for life.

Now, Butterfly saw Sun Xun on the parade platform in the school field, her heart trembled, she forgot everything around her for a while, did not inform anyone, and suddenly left her seat and went to the parade platform.

The Jiuhuangling side agreed in advance that the three of the soldiers, Daran, Shi Dewa, and Feng Dewa, would participate in the competition, and the appearance of these three would ensure the victory of the competition. However, the force of Diedeva is only the Great Martial Zun, and although the Great Martial Zun is also a first-class force, those who can compete in the martial arts must at least have the strength of the Little Martial Sect;

The people on the side of the Nine Desolation Mountains looked worriedly at Diedeva under the parade platform, hoping for a miracle......

As soon as Diedeva came to power, Sun Xun immediately recognized it. At that time, when he was in the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, Sun Xun was already eighteen years old, and Diedeva was sixteen years old, and the appearance of both of them was fixed, especially Diedewa's petite and beautiful face, which those who saw it would not forget.

Sun Xun opened his mouth and shouted out Diedewa's name, and Diedewa's face immediately turned red, and then her eyes turned red.

Sun Xun and Diedeva complained to each other, and the voice was not loud, and the people on both sides of the audience could not hear it, but the two only cared about talking and did not use their hands to compete, which made the people in the audience puzzled.

Shi Dewa guessed some eyebrows at a glance, in the Nine Desolate Mountains, Shi Dewa saw that his sister Diedewa admired the soldier master Daran very much, but when he proposed the soldier master Daran to his sister, the sister just didn't agree, it turned out that his sister Diedeva had already had a crush.

Thinking of this, Shi Dewa stood up, walked a few steps forward, came to the parade platform and called his sister Diedewa, and whispered to his sister: You can't beat Sun Xun, hurry up and fake a few moves to defeat the battle, and the next two formations will definitely defeat the king of Xiang'e and me.

Only then did Diedeva remember that he came to the stage on impulse and disrupted the plan of Jiuhuangling, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart: because of his personal affairs, I affected the major matter of avenging Jiuhuangling, Yong'an Island, and my father, and I became a big sinner......

Thinking of this, Diedeva raised his eyebrows, his beautiful eyes stood up, and he slapped Sun Xun with a ruthless heart.

When Diedeva slapped a palm, he casually shouted "Take it!", Sun Xun saw that Diedeva suddenly changed his face, and waved his palm at himself, his heart was shocked, remembering that he was here to help Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, come to compete, sighed helplessly, and raised his hand to fight with Diedewa.

In order to make up for the mistakes that his impulsiveness may cause, Diedeva used ten percent of his strength to beat Sun Xun, and Sun Xun only used fifty percent of his strength to deal with Diedewa, but that's it, Diedeva still can't beat Sun Xun.

Diedeva fought more than a dozen moves with Sun Xun, feeling that Sun Xun's force might only be slightly weaker than that of the soldier master Da Ran, who often fought with her, and she knew that she could not defeat Sun Xun at all—Sun Xun's great martial arts force made her secretly happy.

Butterfly looked for an opportunity to pretend to be unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground......

Seeing that Diedeva had fallen on the stage, Shi Dewa hurriedly walked to the parade platform to help his sister. Shi Dewa felt very sorry for Diedewa in his heart, and his sister had never been defeated.

Shi Dewa knew that if his sister regarded Sun Xun as a real enemy, and used high-level charm techniques at the beginning, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, or using poisonous needles and poison techniques, Sun Xun would definitely be the first to fall;

Shi Dewa lovingly helped Diedeva off the parade platform, and a line of tears flowed from Diedewa's Ume-like eyes, looking at Didwa: "Brother Ran——! I was wrong!"

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, saw that his side won the first game, and his mood was very complicated:

With Shi Dewa, the soldier master Daran, Mo Shi, and Feng Dewa, the Nine Desolation Mountains shouldn't send a useless person to take the lead!

After Bitter Lyric left the palace, I offered advice to Zhou Chi, the marshal of the capital, that the crossbowmen of the array were very lethal, and we could use the method of martial arts to tempt the Nine Desolate Mountains to make them retreat. Listening to the bitter lettuce talk about the strength of Shi Dewa and Feng Dewa, plus the soldier master Da Ran and Mo Shi, I thought that Jiuhuangling would win in the competition, but now Jiuhuangling lost one game first, and then, Zhou Chi, the marshal of the palace of the capital, won another game, and the competition was over. There is no one on the side of the Nine Desolate Mountains who will definitely be able to defeat Zhou Chi, so the matter of the bitter lettuce begging me was self-defeating by me.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, stood up and called out Sun Xun, who was stunned on the parade platform, and prepared to compete on stage. He has made up his mind, he has tried his best to help "love" and "righteousness", and in the battle that is about to start, he will do his best to defeat the people of Jiuhuangling, in order to be loyal to the dynasty.
