Chapter 784 – Transitional Battle

The hall was full of dukes, nobles, and royal clansmen, and all eyes were chasing after that green coat.

Wei Yuan ………. He’s back.

Familiar green clothes, familiar looks, familiar temperament, familiar ……. graying temples.

Inside and outside the temple, it was surprisingly quiet in this instant.

The big sound, the shock overload was followed by silence.

“Wei Yuan, greetings to Your Majesty!”

Wei Yuan walked to the imperial seat and bowed with his hands.

Huaiqing’s gaze swept over the group of ministers and the corner of his mouth was raised:

“Why don’t the ministers speak?”

Until this time, the hall remained silent, no one answered the words of the empress, they stared at Wei Yuan dead in the face, some stared wide-eyed, trying to find out the evidence that this was a fake; some eyes were slightly red, hot tears were already brewing; some were ecstatic, trembling with excitement.

“Wei, Duke Wei?”

Liu Hong, the leader of the current Wei Party, his eyes red, trembling, stepped forward, scrutinized carefully, and choked:

“You, didn’t you die in battle at Jing Shan City.”

He asked the doubts of the ministers in the hall, and for the appearance of the great green coat in front of him, the princes were skeptical in their hearts.

Wei Yuan died in Jingshan City has been a small half a year, outsiders only know Wei Yuan for the country, and they know more details, when the death of the time, the physical body can not bring back.

The body is gone, how can this be resurrected?

Wei Yuan smiled gently:

“It’s just coming back from the dead, nothing strange.”

Back from the dead, that’s all?

The empress added:

“After Duke Wei donated his body, Xu Qi’an has been trying to find ways to resurrect Duke Wei, remodeling his physical body and refining magic weapons to summon his soul. During the spring festival day, I personally recalled Wei Yuan’s soul.”

It was only then that the public realized that the Empress had not been present at the Spring Festival that day.

I thought she was in a bad mood and didn’t care about the spring festival, but I didn’t realize that she had secretly resurrected Wei Yuan?

It was Xu Qi An who remodeled his physical body and recalled his soul for him ……….. The civil and military officials came to a sudden realization, and the doubts in their hearts dissipated quite a bit.

It’s not that they can’t trust the Empress, well, they just can’t.

Even though the Empress was talented, she was ultimately a mortal, and when she said that she had resurrected Wei Yuan, the princes didn’t believe it from the bottom of their hearts.

But if it was Xu Qi’an’s words, the princes would be willing to believe them. It was because Xu Qi’an was the second rank, the top man of the world.

“So, Xu Yinluo had a countermeasure long ago.”

“He’s been secretly trying to resurrect Wei Yuan, planning for a long time ah.”

“If we had known, we wouldn’t have had to worry day after day.”

The gentlemen murmured with mixed feelings, and their hearts were greatly set.

It turned out that without realizing it, Xu Qi’an had already done so much, that kid was sometimes hated to the core, but still, when on the same side as him, it was inexplicably reassuring.

Seeing the group of ministers begin to discuss again, the backbone of the Wei Party was full of excitement and incoherent, the empress glanced at the eunuch in charge of the seal.

Snap!

The middle-aged eunuch flicked his wrist, the whip cracking against the shiny, recognizable ground.

The courtiers quieted down.

The female emperor’s voice was cold and majestic:

“Save the catching up for the breakup of the court.

“It is Duke Wei’s intention to retreat to the capital, what do the Secretaries of the House think?”

The same question was asked a second time, but the princes were silent.

They looked at each other, then glanced at the Empress, then at Wei Yuan, and after a while, Liu Hong, Zhang Xingying, and other members of the Wei Party shouted:

“All at your Majesty’s discretion.”

Then came Qian Qingshu and other members of the Wang Party, who expressed their obedience to the Empress’s decision to retreat to the capital and fight against the Yunzhou Army.

They were not yielding to the general trend, but genuinely felt that there was hope, even though the Wang Party, which used to be political enemies with Wei Yuan, was like a beam of dawn light splitting into the dim sky the moment they saw Wei Yuan appear.

From the Battle of the Northern Territory when he first appeared, to the Battle of Shanhaiguan that shook the ancient world, to the autumn harvest when 100,000 troops bulldozed the Witch God Cult’s main altar, Jingshan City, the Great Bong Military God has never lost.

……… Huaiqing pursed his lips and said with a somewhat complicated mood:

“I have the honor of having all the beloved ministers collaborate with Duke Wei to defend the capital.

“Retreat!”

…………

“Hyah!”

Luxury carriage galloped in the streets of the Imperial City wide city, the wheels rolled, driving the driver still kept pumping the whip, not that he was anxious, but the carriages in the First Minister of the Lord kept urging.

An ominous feeling welled up in the chevron’s heart, suspecting that old Chief Minister Wang Zhenwen’s days were numbered and that Chief Minister Qian was in a hurry to see the last of them.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside the king’s mansion, Qian Qingshu didn’t give the escort a chance to assist him, steadily leaped off the carriage and walked quickly into the king’s mansion.

All the way through the outer courtyard and winding corridors, to the outside of Wang Zhenwen’s bedroom, the Wang Housekeeper accompanied all the way, saying:

“Qian Shoufu, Qian Shoufu …….. Allow my humble servant to report to His Lordship.”

Qian Qingshu ignored it and went straight to the outside of the bedroom, which was when he looked at the butler and signaled him to knock on the door.

The butler did as he was told with a worried frown and a small voice:

“Master, First Counselor Qian is here.”

He didn’t dare to shout too loudly for fear of disturbing Wang Zhenwen’s rest.

It wasn’t long before a small servant girl opened the door to the bedroom and whispered:

“His Lordship invites you in.”

Qian Qingshu stepped over the threshold and entered the bedroom, seeing Wang Zhenwen sitting and leaning against the bed with a gray face, looking sideways.

“By the look on your face, it seems like something big has happened.”

Wang Zhenwen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said in a deep voice, “Is it that Yongzhou has lost its defense.”

After the loss of Xunzhou, Wang Zhenwen has often suffered from insomnia, waking up in a panic, and becoming more and more mentally exhausted, and with his experience and vision, he knows that the loss of Yongzhou is a matter of time.

I just didn’t think it would be so soon.

After the loss of Yongzhou, the Yunzhou army could be at the capital.

Qian Qingshu was silent wording for a moment and said:

“It’s true that Yongzhou is gone, but it was ordered by His Majesty, saying that he would retreat to the capital and fight to the death against the Yunzhou army.”

Wang Zhenwen was sad:

“This is a risky move, I understand what your majesty means, fighting in the capital is definitely better than fighting in Yongzhou. Regardless of the army, walls, instruments and supplies, the capital is very well stocked. It is able to fight a protracted battle.

“It’s just that she ignored human nature, ah, the army’s presence in the capital will inevitably cause panic among the people and officials, and once the people’s hearts are dispersed, they won’t be able to fight.”

“Brother Wang sees through!” Qian Qingshu sighed tersely:

“When I heard today that His Majesty took the initiative to give up Yongzhou and retreat to the capital, I also had a kind of panic as if it were the end of the world. But ……… Wei Yuan is back.”

After these words were said, he saw Chief Wang’s expression stutter violently, like a frozen picture.

After a long while, this old man wrung his neck, his withered face turned around, staring dead at Qian Qingshu, and said word for word:

“What are you talking about …….”

Qian Qingshu said with a straight face:

“Wei Yuan was resurrected, Xu Qi’an remodeled his physical body for him, and during the spring festival day, His Majesty personally recalled his soul, and today in the courtroom, I repeatedly observed him, and it was indeed Wei Yuan, with a variable appearance, but with a demeanor, eyes, and mannerisms that can’t be imitated.

“And among the nobles, there is no lack of experts, if they were disguised, they would have seen it long ago. His Majesty said that it was Wei Yuan’s decision to retreat to the capital.”

Wang Zhenwen froze for a long time after hearing this and said:

“What was the reaction of the civil and military authorities?”

Qian Qingshu replied:

“Now is actively involved in the defense, each in their own way, when the court, I carefully looked at, although the face is still not very good, but also no one pessimistic. Alas, this leading troops to fight things, as long as there is Wei Yuan in, is to make people feel at ease.

“He came back just in time for the hearts of the capital to be settled ………”

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Wang Zhenwen had his head tilted, eyes closed, and hadn’t moved for a long time.

Qian Qingshu’s heart was steeped in awe, and his mouth trembled as he shouted:

“Brother Wang?”

He reached out a trembling hand, his eyes mournful, and carefully tested his nose.

In the next moment, Qian Qingshu looked relieved.

Just fell asleep.

The servant girl on the side whispered:

“His Lordship has not been sleeping soundly lately, and even when he does, he often wakes up with a start, and is left alone with his eyes open and staring.”

Qian Qingshu nodded slowly and said softly:

“Take good care of him and don’t disturb him.”

Before leaving, he stopped at the door of the room and looked back at Wang Zhenwen’s peaceful sleeping face.

You can finally get some sleep.

…………

Northland!

A white-clothed figure, between the rising of the clear light, kept flickering, the distance of each flicker was three miles.

This white-clothed figure, whose appearance was exactly the same as Xu Pingfeng’s, was his refined doppelganger, whose essence was a golem, crafted from fine iron, inscribed with twenty-eight formations, and whose battle power was roughly equal to that of an expert who had begun to enter the fourth rank.

Xu Pingfeng detached a strand of divine thought and boarded the puppet, using it as a diversion.

For this kind of bilocation, he could only maneuver a maximum of two at the same time, one to stay in Subterranean Dragon City and one to carry with him.

Any more and it would be easy to distract his mind, which normally wouldn’t matter, but he still had to deal with Kou Yangzhou, a second grade martial artist, so it was impossible for him to spare too much of his mind.

The battle in the northern realm involved the entire battlefield, and the White Emperor and the Gala Tree’s delay in winning the battle caused Xu Pingfeng to smell a hint of bad news.

He had to see for himself what was going on.

Across the vast no-man’s-land, as far as the eye can see, dark clouds appear at the end of the desolate plains, as well as dust storms that cover the sky.

Xu Pingfeng detected the aura of a heavenly tribulation from the distant clouds.

Luo Yu Heng s thunder tribulation really didn t end, looking at the aura, it should be an earth thunder tribulation ………. Xu Pingfeng lowered his teleportation speed and cautiously approached.

After all, this puppet was only a beginner’s fourth grade, and a wisp of the heavenly tribulation and a splash of the aftermath of the transcendent battle would be able to leave him in the dust.

“Boom!”

As it approached three miles from the robbing cloud, a terrifying shockwave rose up in a frenzy.

Xu Pingfeng immediately put up a defense formation, forming a hexagonal barrier in front of him.

Bang!

The defense formation only lasted for three seconds before it was torn apart by the violent shockwave, and the puppet’s body was shaken on the spot, its chest deeply sunken.

In the place of a fourth-grade warlock, such an injury would be enough to lose combat power.

But the puppet wouldn’t die, unaware of the pain, Xu Pingfeng stuck to the ground and teleported twice, finally arriving at the edge of the robbery cloud.

At the same time, he saw the two battlefields, the White Emperor Xu Qi’an, and the Gala Tree, Asura, and the Golden Lotus Zhao Shou.

The others directly skipped over it, and Xu Qi’an’s appearance caused Xu Pingfeng to be bewildered for a while.

……….
