Chapter Forty-Nine: The War Comes to the Dead
Late at night, Zhang Fanzheng and Qingyan were having supper.
Qingyan ate roast mutton, and said quietly: "Husband, from now on, the concubine body will develop the power of the True Dragon Sect in Darong, and after the father and emperor are a hundred years old, the concubine body will also sit on the throne of the Darong Emperor, and she is not afraid of the concubine's brothers and sisters who are empty of the court." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Yan'er, don't worry, Wang Lao Wu is a reliable person, as long as it is what you order, he will try his best to complete it." Qingyan smiled and said: "The concubine knows that the fifth child looks simple and strong, and he should be a reliable person." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Although the two countries of Qirong will fight in the future, the scale should not be much larger, but the people of the two countries and the surrounding countries will definitely be panicked, the True Dragon Sect can sell armor soldiers on a large scale, buy food and medicinal materials, and when the heroes compete for the deer, gold, silver and weapons are actually not the most important, food is the major event related to the victory or defeat of the war." Light Smoke nodded.
Then the two continued to eat barbecue.
"Report!" suddenly a hurried shout entered the temple. Qingyan was a little annoyed when he heard this, and his face was covered with dark clouds. Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Yan'er, he came late at night, there must be something important, you better let him in." Qingyan nodded and shouted, "Come in." ”
After a while, a gray-clothed armor soldier came in, and immediately knelt down and said, "Knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!" Light smoke said lightly: "Say!" The armor said: "Your Highness, quickly." The emperor is angry and tells you to go quickly. ”
Qingyan and Zhang Fan were both shocked when they heard this, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "How could he know that we were together?" The armor hurriedly said: "No, Your Highness, the emperor just received the battle report......" Before he could finish speaking. Qingyan said, "Don't say it, let's go." After speaking, he didn't have time to say hello to Zhang Fan. And he ran away.
Zhang Fan was stunned when he saw this, he really couldn't imagine that Qingyan would be so anxious when he heard this. I was in doubt.
In the main hall of the palace, the Immortal Emperor sat quietly in a dragon robe, and several gold-armored soldiers in front of him stood solemnly.
Prince Qingyan walked into the main hall quickly, bowed down and said, "The son knocks to see the emperor." The Immortal Emperor glanced at her, pointed to the lower left brocade seat, and said, "Come up and sit." Then the prince of light smoke stepped forward and took a seat.
The Immortal Emperor said lightly: "Soldiers, tell me why I only rested for one day, and then let the high thieves eat nearly 30,000 elite horsemen of our army?" Originally, the ministers were in accordance with His Majesty's will. Temporarily send 20,000 elite cavalry to station on the shores of Youyue Lake, and at the same time secretly transfer supplies to Youyue Lake. In the early hours of this morning, dozens of scouts we sent did not return, and they were horrified, so they hurriedly increased their troops to the Youyue Lake by 10,000, and at the same time made enough momentum to send small soldiers to disrupt the enemy troops stationed outside the mountains on the south bank. Originally, we could be sure that the enemy army would not rush into a surprise attack, but in the evening, nearly 100,000 elite soldiers of the Qi State suddenly attacked us, and almost all of our army's 30,000 elite cavalry were wiped out. ”
The Immortal Emperor shouted angrily, "What? Why did you deceive me just now that our army was only defeated?Could it be that our army's positions on the edge of the Moon Lake are all finished?" The Immortal Emperor shouted, "Say!" The old general, who had white hair, climbed forward and said, "Your Majesty is angry." Although our army lost 30,000 elite soldiers, its position on the edge of the Youyue Lake was not lost. The Immortal Emperor said angrily: "My 30,000 elite soldiers are all over, and you dare to say that the position has not been lost? What the minister said was true. ”
When the Immortal Emperor heard this, he said coldly: "Say!" Hu Buwei said: "Your Majesty, although our army has suffered heavy losses. But the losses of the Qi army are no less than ours......" Before he could finish speaking, the Immortal Emperor smashed the jade cup in his hand at the old man.
The old man said in fear: "Your Majesty is angry...... "The Immortal Emperor said quietly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again." I will destroy your whole family!" the old man cried: "We have planted an intercrop in the upper echelons of the enemy's army, and the enemy's disposition is known to our army. At the same time, every move of the enemy army is under our watch. The Immortal Emperor was overjoyed and said, "Good! good!" said him, his face flushed, and he seemed to be extremely happy. All the generals said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Our army should be able to kill Gao Yu and attack the Qi country in the future!"
"Wow......" The Immortal Emperor spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Qingyan shouted, "Father!" said and immediately came to the Immortal Emperor's side, and quickly took out a Fragrance Pill for him to take. Seeing this, all the generals were shocked, and then said loudly: "The ministers disturb Your Majesty, and they will die!"
After a moment, the Immortal Emperor slowly sat down and said quietly: "I am not guilty!" The generals thanked: "Some Majesty." Hu Buwei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, you have to take care of your body." The Immortal Emperor nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You retreat, discuss the next battle plan, and I will destroy Gao Yu's thief in one fell swoop." The ministers said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then the ministers withdrew.
The Immortal Emperor glanced at the crown prince and said lightly: "Help me go back to the palace." Immediately, Qingyan and the maid helped the Immortal Emperor and left.
After a long while, Zhang Fan was still waiting in the hall. The roast lamb in front of him had been folded on a large plate, but there was still no light smoke coming back.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock at the temple door. Zhang Fan was overjoyed and said, "Yan'er, come in, the mutton has been roasted." A moment of light smoke came in. As soon as Zhang Fan looked up, he saw that her eyes were red, as if she had cried, her face was blank, there was no joy or frustration, and she hurriedly asked: "Qingyan, what's wrong......?" Zhang Fan was stunned.
The whole room fell silent for a moment, and only the "creaking" sound of charcoal burning in the fire could be heard. Qingyan said lightly: "Zhang Fan, thank you for saving my father, and thank you for passing on the information to Gao Yu and burying my tens of thousands of elite horsemen." Go away, I didn't know you before, and I won't know you again. Her voice entered Zhang Fan's ears like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Shadows, piercing and cold. Zhang Fan looked at her in a daze, there was no trace of blood on her originally delicate face, and her eyes seemed to be full of indifference and determination. He couldn't help but say, "This ......" Prince Qingyan said coldly: "Go! The Lone King has never seen you!"
Zhang Fan showed a look of regret on his face, and asked: "Light Smoke ......" Prince Light Smoke didn't talk nonsense with him this time, and immediately pulled out the sharp scimitar at once, and said coldly: "If you don't leave, this king will kill you!" Zhang Fan said anxiously: "Light Smoke, are you ......" However, Light Smoke had already turned into a red ray and shot towards him, with a soft sound of "poof", the scimitar cut through Zhang Fan's brocade clothes, cut the skin on his arm, and a stream of blood came out of the wound, drops fell to the ground.
For a while, the whole hall was as cold as ice, Zhang Fan heard the thunder, looked at the expressionless light smoke lightly, regardless of the pain on his body, and said slightly: "Why ......" Light Yan said coldly: "If you don't leave, this king will not only bleed for you, but kill you!" Her voice seemed to have no emotion, cold as frost. Zhang Fan said lightly: "Good ......" said and left with his injured arm.
"Are you satisfied!" Zhang Fan left for a long time, and a voice sounded in the hall. Then a man said: "Qingyan, he took advantage of you, betrayed you, and is already an enemy to you." Prince Qingyan said coldly: "I know, you just want me to be ruthless and unrighteous, just like you." The man said: "Yes, those who become big things are not informal, and your brothers and sisters will only be in a corner of peace, and they will not be able to achieve big things." Only now do I know that your cultivation is no less than that kid, and in a few years, you will definitely be able to dominate the Tianyuan Continent. Prince Qingyan said: "What's the use of dominating the Tian Yuan Continent even if you dominate it? The Lone King has reached the peak of this world, who can kill me?" The man said lightly: "The Tian Yuan Continent is just a sealed world, there is no aura here, and it is impossible to live forever. I don't have your talent and can't leave the Tian Yuan Continent, but you are different, as long as you dominate Tian Yuan, you will become a legendary immortal. Prince Qingyan said: "I just don't want to see you hurt again, you have to know that you only have one year to live." The man laughed and said, "Thanks to that kid, otherwise I would never have seen the sun tomorrow, haha......"
Prince Qingyan said: "I really regret telling you that you can live for another year." The man smiled: "Yes, I originally thought that I would live for seven days at most, and I wanted to keep that kid by your side to assist you, but now I have enough time to easily break through the Crescent Pass, annex the Qi Kingdom, and help you dominate the Tianyuan Continent, and die without regrets." Prince Qingyan said: "You know that I don't want to be the emperor, but you want me to be that position, you know that I like him, but you want to separate us alive, you know that I am Ma Changtian, but you lie that Ma Changtian was killed by the people of Qi, you ......" As soon as she said this, she stopped somehow, and then said: "I want to be quiet." With that, he left.
The room fell silent again. After a long while, the man said, "I'm doing this for your own good." I am now old, what can I do in a year, can I escape the impact of the ancient family?" Another man said, "Your Majesty, the Xuanyuan clan has reappeared in the rivers and lakes?" The man said slowly: "Not bad." Originally, I was only worried about the Li family's annexation of the Four Kingdoms, but this morning I met with a side disciple of the Xuanyuan family, who already had a congenital late stage cultivation at a young age, and his combat power was comparable to the peak of the congenital stage, no less than Zhang Fan's kid. Another man said: "Your Majesty, is there such a thing?" The man said: "Yes, since they have come to the mainland to carry out activities, they must have obtained the relics of the ancient emperors, there are countless divine soldiers and elixirs, and no force can escape the siege of the hordes of innate peak masters." Then there was silence in the hall. (To be continued......)
