Chapter 770: Life and death together

The Imperial Study.

The eunuchs brought in the sand table and small flags and set them up as the empress commanded, the red small flag representing the Dabong army and the blue small flag representing the Yunzhou army.

In addition, there are also the South Border, the Western Region, the Witch God Sect, the whole is a miniature nine states continent.

Among them were a dozen or so small flags with a black background and a gold border, on which were written the words “Luo, Zhao, Xu, Kou, Jin, A, Sun”.

Huaiqing waved his big sleeve, and the eunuchs in the hall retreated in turn.

In the quiet of the imperial study, Huaiqing pushed the “Luo” flag to the north, and then their respective allies and enemies pushed through.

Removing all the miscellaneous transcendentals and only fighting the White Emperor and the Garuda Tree to the death was the situation that the Great Bong Fang thought was best.

But perhaps, the enemy will see it differently.

So, Huaiqing pushed the small flags of “Baidi” and “Garosu” to Yongzhou.

If the Yunzhou army took advantage of Luo Yu Heng’s transmigration to focus on taking down Yongzhou in one fell swoop, that would be a tolerable loss in Huaiqing’s opinion.

Not to mention capturing Yongzhou, even if the capital were to be surrendered, Huaiqing would not frown.

Because Xu Pingfeng could not possibly refine Yongzhou and the capital city’s qi within thirteen days, the capture of Yongzhou=, which was only a short time occupation, could be exchanged for Luo Yuheng’s successful transmigration and promotion to the first grade of Land Immortal.

At that point, DaBong was fully capable of counterattacking.

That’s her big picture.

Then, Huaiqing pushed the “Luo” chess to the southern border, what if the location of the battle is arranged in the southern border?

This place can be full of Da Bong’s allies.

“With this choice, the pros and cons are obvious, the Buddha Sect still has two First Grade and one Second Grade, while the Compassion Clan, despite the number of transcendent powerhouses, does not have enough Third Grade to intervene in a battle at this level. The only second-ranked Heavenly Compass Granny is still a bad fighter.

“The key is that Xu Qi’an was unable to mobilize the power of the beings in the Southern Borderlands, leading to the result that the number of our transcendent powerhouses multiplied, but the high-level battle power slipped instead.”

Huaiqing shook his head.

And the Companion Transcendents might not be willing to help, as it was a possibility for them to perish at any time.

In addition, she had another concern, no one knew if the one in Arundhara had any spare strength left to cast out the Great Sun Ruler Dharma.

If Shenshu enters the battle, and that one still has power left, and the Dhamma of the Great Sun appears, well, the full plate is lost.

After all the calculations, having Luo Yu Heng choose the location of the tribulation in the Northern Realm was the most stable method.

Huaiqing then moved the pieces back to the northern border, and placed the Gala Tree, the White Emperor, and the four supernatural beings of Xu, Ah, Jin, and Zhao on the side of the “Luo” chess piece.

“Xu Qi’an ………”

Wyvern closed his eyes and muttered:

“Are you really sure, or have you thrown in the towel?”

………..

Hsu Mansion.

A column of forbidden soldiers burst into the mansion with hurried steps.

At this time in the inner hall, the aunt was still excitedly asking Mu Nanjian for the secret of raising flowers, the outer and inner courtyards of the Xu Mansion were full of gorgeous flowers, which appeared as a fairyland in the cold late winter.

“Sister, teach me, how can I learn such an amazing spell?”

My aunt now worships the God of Flowers and says “Sister” every time she speaks.

The unlucky nephew brought people to the mansion twice in three days, starting with the one who acted politely and courteous, and behind her back said bad things about her in that little mirror, Li Miaozhen.

Then there is the rice bucket Lina who just knows how to eat all day long, even if she eats a lot of fish and meat from the Xu family every day, she also teamed up with her sinful daughter Xu Lingyin to steal her skin nourishing pills.

She didn’t like the first two, but this one, called Mu Nanjian, she liked.

It’s about the same age and has something in common.

“What is the relationship between Aunt Mu and my big brother?”

Xu Lingyue on the side had an innocent, warm and harmless look on her face.

Xu Ling Yue actually didn’t think that Big Brother would look at such a plain and unimpressive woman who was still as old as Mother.

But this woman looks like she has a husband’s family, why does she have to live in the Xu Mansion?

“It doesn’t matter much, he just pesters me every day.” Mu Nanjian said.

As soon as the aunt heard this, she became furious and guiltily took Mu Nanjian’s hand:

“You say this unlucky boy, really shameless, it’s me who didn’t teach him well, it’s my fault, sister, tell me how he pestered you. Turn around and I’ll make him go kneel in the ancestral shrine for three days and three nights.”

As he was talking, the butler came in leading the forbidden troops.

The three women in the hall rose at the same time and looked out blankly.

The forbidden soldiers stopped outside the hall and split up on either side, and once the clanging of armor ceased, the leader of the group stepped into the hall, clasping his fists and bowing:

“By His Majesty’s decree, receive the female members of the Xu family into the palace.”

……….

On this day in the capital, from the commander of the forbidden army battalion to the court officials, the families of all the real power figures were all received in the palace.

The treasury and granary are carved with teleportation formations.

The imperial court had already prepared for the worst, once Luo Yu Heng’s tribulation failed and the Great Feng Transcendent Powerhouse perished, the real power players in the capital would immediately shift.

This battle, for the empress, for the princes, and for the court, was a gamble on the fate of the nation.

As for the lower class people, today is no different from yesterday, the day is not rich, but peaceful and joyful.

At most, they talked about the war in the south after tea, complaining about how the imperial court had not yet heard the news that Xu Yinluo, one man and one sword, had killed off the 100,000-strong army in the Yunzhou district.

……….

Lingbao Guan.

Luo Yu Heng stood at the edge of the small pool, looking at the young man across from him and probing his hand:

“Come back!”

The divine sword above Xu Qi’an’s head “unsheathed” and returned to its owner’s hand, bringing out a pile of red and white.

“My Brain ……..”

Xu Qi’an hurriedly caught it, absorbing the life force in the blood and brain matter, then squatted down and washed his hands.

During the process, the sword wound on the top of his head healed and returned as before.

Luo Yu Heng shook his hand, shaking the blood from his sword, and snorted coldly.

At least it is the head of the human sect dao, too careful …….. After Xu Qi’an finished spitting in his heart, he subconsciously looked left and right, and when he didn’t see Protector Yuan, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it and feeling heartbroken, at least it’s a second grade big brother, but it’s even psychologized by a monkey.

Luo Yu Heng narrowed his eyes and coldly said:

“What are you rambling on about again?”

“I’m boasting that the State Master is as beautiful as the heavens, and to be able to become a daoist couple with the State Master is the greatest fortune of my life.” Xu Qi’an smiled cheekily.

Luo Yu Heng faintly said:

“Then cancel the marriage with Linan.”

Xu Qi’an let out a “haha”, the smile on his face then converged, scratched his head and sighed:

“All I can give her is a name.”

Luo Yu Heng looked at him deeply.

Xu Qi’an got up, took a step across the small pool, gazed at the exquisite and flawless imperial face, and whispered:

“What I can give you is life and death.

“In this battle, I live, you live. You die, I die!”

Luo Yu Heng pursed her lips, suddenly lowered her head, as if she did not dare to meet his eyes, looked at the surface of the pool, which was wrinkled by the wind, and let out a soft “hmm”.

The two turned into a long rainbow and disappeared over the capital.

…………

Before the tribulation had even begun, Yongzhou was already in the midst of beacons and wolves.

The Yunzhou army bypassed Xunzhou and assembled outside of Nanguan City, eighty miles southeast of Xunzhou.

With the swiftness of a thunderbolt, the city was attacked in a big way, and within half a day, the city of Nanguan, which was not so strongly defended, was taken.

After capturing the city of Nanguan, the Yunzhou army did not occupy but slaughtered the city.

They then looted the remaining population and supplies and retreated in force, leaving the city in ruins.

This is a very classic looting style of fighting, focusing on the force, hitting a shot and then leaving, looting supplies to fight to feed the war at the same time, but also to make the defenders tired, for the repair of the walls of the city to spend manpower and resources.

This tactic is often used by foreigners, and the core idea is that “barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes”.

After the massacre, scouts from the Da Bong Army infiltrated into Nanguan City to check the situation and found that the city, which had originally had tens of thousands of people living there, had been reduced to nothing but ruins.

There were no chickens or dogs left in the city, houses collapsed and burned, and the bodies of the defenders and the people were piled up in twelve whole capitals.

In front of each of the Capital Guards a wooden plaque was treed, written in letters of blood:

Slayer – Zhuo Haoran!

Build a Kyunggwan to show the war effort.

Yang Gong, the highest commander of the Yongzhou battlefield, summoned his staff to discuss the matter, and while retaining the countermeasures of holding the wall and clearing the field, he set aside 30% of his troops to be in charge of the tasks of galloping, harassing, and cutting off the supply lines of the enemy army.

The war went from holding out to being half field and half garrison.

Xu Xinxin led four thousand cavalrymen and five hundred artillerymen as they wandered across the desolate battlefield.

During the defensive battle in Qingzhou, Erlang Xu had demonstrated great commanding ability, so he and several members of the Tiandi Association, each leading a cavalry unit, were responsible for fighting guerrilla warfare.

In addition to his own abilities, Erlang Xu was entrusted with two other reasons.

Master Everest was in the team he led, and with Everest being able to liaise with the rest of the Tiandi Association, news traveled extremely fast, making it easier to play along.

It’s a no-nonsense advantage on the battlefield.

And what is even more unreasonable is that Xu New Year has a mirror in his hand that can view a thousand miles of dharma.

Muddy Sky Divine Mirror!

This was the hangover that Xu Qi’an had handed over to his cousin when he left.

Muddy Sky Divine Mirror, view thousands of miles, into the surprise attack on the enemy army, kill each other by surprise. Retreating can avoid its front line, self-protection and escape.

This was the reason why Xu Qi’an had strongly retained the Hun Heavenly Divine Mirror in the first place; on the battlefield, it was simply too important.

“Amitabha!”

Master Hengyuan collected the fragments of the Earth Book, and with a face full of compassion, he folded his arms and recited the Buddha’s name.

Heojiro asked with a sideways glance:

“Master?”

Master Everest sighed:

“Fellow Daoist Li Miaozhen went to Nan Guan City just now and described the tragic situation in the city through the earth book, and the poor monk couldn’t bear to see it again.”

Xu Erlang’s heart fluttered as he tested the waters:

“Show me?”

Master Hengyuan nodded and pulled out a fragment of the Earth Book and handed it over.

Xu Erlang reached out and took it, fixing his eyes on the jade mirror, where a line of small characters protruded from the surface.

[2: The Yunzhou army has finally exposed its nature, they don’t even spare the women and children, they killed Nan Guan Cheng cleanly, such a messy son of a bitch, and that Zhuo Haoran, I want to kill him with my own hands.]

Li Miaozhen was shaking with anger.

[4: The Yunzhou army is raging, slaughtering the city to strengthen the army’s heart. I have a premonition that this battle in Yongzhou will be fought even more gruesomely than in Qingzhou].

[Seven: Shall we assassinate Zhuo Haoran?]

Li Lingsu had just listened to his senior sister’s description, and his heart was a bit nauseated, he was still not too on the oblivion after all, and would still be swayed by his emotions.

[4: First you have to confirm his location, Yunzhou is patrolled by Zhuo Hao Ran scouts, when we find him, he can also find us. Trying to pinpoint Zhuo Haoran is very difficult.]

Zhuo Haoran …….. Xu Erlang touched his chest, remembering the day Songshan County fell.

Surname Zhuo had suffered a great loss in Songshan County, and after breaking the city that day, Zhuo Haoran massacred the defenders and the people, chased him for dozens of miles, and nearly killed him with a knife.

Li Miaozhen cursed and grumbled for a while, and agreed with the members of the Tiandi Association that as soon as there was any sign of Zhuo Haoran’s whereabouts, he would immediately lead his troops to run and kill this madman who had slaughtered the city.

The earth book group then calmed down, and no one passed on any more books.

Erlang Xu returned the ground book to Master Hengyuan and asked:

“Why didn’t the Masters form an army, like they did?”

Everest shook his head:

“A poor monk, a martial monk, doesn’t understand this.”

Xu New Year nodded, and then he felt a burn in his arms and hurriedly took out a bronze mirror with half a piece missing.

“Brat, you don’t even have dragon qi, how do you deserve to own this seat?”

A mouth protruded from the surface of the Mirror of the Hunting Heavenly God, “pooh” and cursed:

“This seat is a treasure you can’t have, if you want to use me, you have to add money, you have to warm me with chakra.”

The qi was certainly not comparable to dragon qi, but it was also the most pure and yang energy.

Everest sniffed:

“Leave it to the poor monk.”

Xu Erlang was a Confucian disciple and didn’t have such a thing as qi.

Jiro Xu frowned and said:

“Big brother has spoken with me, you made a deal with him to stay by my side for the time being, and now you mention this to me, are you trying to screw me over?”

“So what if it is!” The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror had a posture of being barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

Erlang Xu gave it a look, “I think you’re begging for a scolding.”

…………

“Stop cursing, stop cursing, you human with your sharp teeth.”

After half a quarter of an hour, the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror felt like it had turned into the scum of the magic treasures and said angrily:

“I don’t care to argue with you, don’t call me if you have nothing to do.”

“Wait!”

Xu Erlang took off his water bladder and took a sip:

“You show me what you’ve got first.”

When the Huntsman Divine Mirror thought about it, it didn’t think it was a big deal, so it said:

“Watch this!”

The bronze mirror surface instantly glassed over, rippling with water-like ripples, which slowly smoothed out, revealing a picture.

It was a military tent, decorated with a sand table, maps and armor and weapons, and on the bed a burly man, full of grimace, abused the slender teenager.

The teenager’s face turned white, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, as if he was in extreme pain.

“What are you showing me this for.”

Feeling offended, Xu Er Lang was furious.

Among the dignitaries, as well as in the military, there are a handful of people who have a dragon yang, nothing strange, but Xu Erlang just felt that this broken mirror was connoting him.

A question mark flashed in the heart of the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror, somewhat puzzled and aggravated:

“Don’t you like it? Your big brother just loves to watch men shower.”

A series of question marks flashed through Xu Erlang’s mind as well, followed by a twitch at the corner of his mouth:

“Big brother is big brother, I’m me, I’m not like him.”

Erlang Xu didn’t quite believe what the mirror said, but that didn’t stop him from going back to the capital and telling his parents about his big brother’s proclivities, so that they could judge him and make him raise his head in front of his family just as he did in the beginning.

At that moment, Erlang Xu saw that in the mirror, the burly man stopped all movements and raised his head with a look of enjoyment.

The burly man had rugged features, a white pupil in his left eye that prevented him from seeing, and a long scar on his cheek.

Zhuo Haoran!

………..

The border of Yongzhou.

Kou Yangzhou stepped into the territory of Qingzhou with one foot while recklessly releasing his qi.

In the next second, a white dress appeared in midair, as well as a handsome young man with a sword hanging from his waist.

Xu Pingfeng and Ji Xuan.

The old piker with a head full of silver hair like frost, sneered:

“I’m coming over, hit me.”

He then took a step back:

“I’m back again, come and hit me.”
