Chapter 453 One hour is enough

In the inn, the morning light filtered through the window lattice, casting a few faint rays of light on the dusty table.

Several people sat around, drinking water and silently gnawing on the hard dried meat.

Even if they are all people with extraordinary cultivation, there are still many talented people in the world, so it is always better to be cautious.

"Junior Sister," Jiang Wuya swallowed the dry meat in his mouth and couldn't help but speak.

"Aren't you worried at all that the Saint of Southern Border might turn against us and plot against us?"

Qin Zhaoyue didn't even raise his eyes, his voice was flat:

"Mobilize thousands of troops and create a momentum to charge into battle.

"Can't you sense the murderous aura of weapons rising into the sky and the thundering sound of galloping horses?"

Jiang Wuya was stunned, "Uh...of course not."

"Now that we've sensed it, with our abilities, can we outrun those galloping horses?"

Jiang Wuya was suddenly speechless and said no more. He understood.

Even a powerful Grandmaster of the Second Stage, if he were to be trapped in a massive army that was on high alert and ready to fight to the death, and his "domain" was constantly assaulted by the ferocious and evil aura of weapons gathered together, he would likely be stuck in a quagmire and face endless troubles.

If the other party is really determined to fight to the death at all costs, theoretically, they can be exhausted.

But it's just a theory.

In reality, they have no reason to fight to the death, and there is no need to fight to the death.

If you really see that the situation is not good, just escape. How can thousands of troops stop a second-grade realm cultivator who is determined to leave?

…

At the same time, inside the rebel main tent.

"General." The personal soldier's voice, with a barely perceptible urgency, awakened the general who was sleeping on the couch.

His name was Gao Huan, and he was the deputy general under the command of the general of the southern border. This time, he was ordered to lead 15,000 White Tiger troops to garrison here.

"What time is it?" Gao Huan's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

"Just after Yinzheng."

Gao Huan woke up and frowned subconsciously. Being woken up at this hour was definitely not ordinary.

"What is it?"

“The four patriarchs of the four great families, as well as the Saintess of Southern Border, are all waiting at the Yunlai Inn in Furong Town.

He said there was something extremely urgent that needed to be discussed with the general immediately."

Gao Huan's brows furrowed even deeper, and his sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

"You didn't say what it was specifically about?"

"He didn't say it explicitly, but judging by his expression, it must be an urgent matter."

Of course it must be an urgent matter, otherwise why would the four family heads and the saint come in person at this hour?

Gao Huan suppressed the uneasiness that was growing in his heart and asked in a deep voice:

"Are there any unusual sergeant movements in the other two camps?"

"We haven't seen any unusual movement of large numbers of troops."

Hearing this, Gao Huan felt a little relieved.

Yes, now that we are all in the same boat, if one suffers, we all suffer. He must be worrying too much.

He quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself:

It was originally planned to announce the establishment of the country today in Baiyue Protectorate. Could it be that the plan has changed and it will be held at the front line?

This is a good way to boost morale and enhance military prestige. After all, there have been rumors in the army recently and people are unstable.

Thinking more deeply, could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the founding of the country to march his army northward?

This is a double-edged sword.

The autumn harvest taxes have not yet been fully deposited into the imperial treasury, so advancing at this time may allow us to seize the initiative and gain a lot of benefits.

But it also means a sudden increase in logistical pressure, and if there is a setback, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He no longer hesitated, washed up quickly, and put on heavy armor.

Out of caution, he gathered two hundred personal guards, mounted their horses, and headed straight for Furong Town out of the camp.

Yunlai Inn is the largest inn in Furong Town and has long been requisitioned.

When Gao Huan arrived, he found some soldiers stationed outside the inn.

The clothes are different, some are from aristocratic families and some are from southern Xinjiang.

There were not many of them, less than a hundred in total, even less than the number of personal guards he brought with him.

He felt a little relieved, dismounted, and asked two captains of his personal guards, whose cultivation had reached the fourth level, to follow him, and strode into the inn.

The inn lobby was empty, with only two tables of people in the middle.

One table was occupied by the four patriarchs of the four great families, and the other table was occupied by the five tribal leaders of southern Xinjiang and the Saint Ayaduo.

The two sides were clearly divided and the atmosphere was delicate.

Gao Huan clasped his fists and was about to speak: "Everyone..."

Before the greeting was finished, something strange happened!

The five southern Xinjiang leaders at the table on the left suddenly attacked as if they had made an appointment.

The figure was as fast as lightning, rushing straight towards Gao Huan and his personal guards!

Gao Huan had no time to retreat in panic, filled with shock and anger:

"What are you doing!?"

The two fourth-rank guards behind him didn't even have time to draw their swords before they were subdued in an instant by the leaders led by Yan Meng at lightning speed.

At the same time, dark green mist spread from Ayaduo's body.

It quickly enveloped the area in front of the inn, completely isolating all sounds and movements inside.

Gao Huan himself was only at the fourth level of cultivation, and with Ayaduo, a third level saint, suppressing him, he couldn't make any waves at all.

In just two or three breaths, he was restrained and unable to move.

"Ayaduo! Are you from Southern Xinjiang planning to break the alliance and betray the coalition forces?!"

He shouted, but no one answered.

And when he saw out of the corner of his eye that the people from the four great families at the table next to him were still sitting still, ignoring the changes in front of them, countless chaotic thoughts instantly flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the noble families were secretly colluding with the southern border tribes to kick the White Tiger Army out? How could this be possible!

Although he only brought 15,000 troops here, the southern border camp is where the main force of the White Tiger Army is located. How dare they do this?

At this moment, the door of the upper room in the center of the second floor of the inn creaked open.

Qin Zhaoyue and the other two walked out slowly and stood on the corridor.

Ayaduo raised his head, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Sixth Prince."

She had already sensed something strange.

Even if the Sixth Princess rescued an important Xuanji Guard spy, why would she have to carry him on her back all the time?

Who was the identity of that tightly wrapped person? A strange look flashed across his eyes.

Gao Huan, who was pinned to the ground, was startled.

What Sixth Prince?!

The five tribal leaders also raised their heads at the same time, looking towards the corridor with complicated expressions.

The slender woman in the middle is the Sixth Prince?

He is indeed too young, yet he possesses terrifying power that is enough to overturn the situation.

The two solemn men and women on the left and right must be the second-grade sorcerers from the Tianyan Sect.

Ayaduo continued to ask, "Your Highness, will I continue to control this person?"

Qin Zhaoyue looked down condescendingly, his eyes cold as ice, and uttered three words:

"No need, just kill him."

"yes!"

"etc--!"

Gao Huan's pupils suddenly shrank, and just as he shouted out two words, the Yan Meng arm that was holding him back suddenly exerted force.

With a sharp, tooth-grinding sound, Gao Huan's neck was broken cleanly and neatly, and the unfinished words and astonishment were forever frozen on his face.

The other two restrained bodyguards suffered the same fate in an instant.

With Ayaduo, a third-grade master, in charge, everything happened in a flash without causing any waves.

The reason why Ayaduo did not take action immediately this time but asked first was due to her own considerations.

She already controls the people of the four great families. If she were to easily control the generals of this army, she would inevitably appear to have too much power and become feared.

Facts have also proved that the Sixth Princess had no intention of sparing the lives of these rebel generals.

Compared with the tribes in southern Xinjiang and the private soldiers recruited with money, what the Dagan court can never tolerate the most is the betrayal of its own army.

Qin Zhaoyue indeed thought so, and glanced down:

“Those personal soldiers outside the inn have also been handed over to the leaders for disposal.

Ayaduo, is one hour enough to clear the obstacles and restore military discipline?"

"Don't worry, Sixth Prince. One hour is more than enough."

"In that case..."

Before Qin Zhaoyue finished her words, the next moment, she, Jiang Wuya, and Chu Xinglan suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone.

The five leaders didn't even see when and how they moved, and they each hurriedly released their perception.

But they were shocked to find that the place where the three people had stood was empty, as if no one had ever been there.

However, just as they were filled with wonder and confusion, three figures appeared at the entrance of the inn without any warning, like ghosts.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye, but in their perception, there was still nothing there.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared again.

This time, the five leaders were all shocked. There was no longer any doubt, only deep awe and horror.

The opponent's strength is unfathomable and far beyond their imagination!

Qin Zhaoyue and the other two disappeared without stopping and rushed straight towards Meiling County.

The scene of disappearing out of thin air and then suddenly reappearing was naturally done deliberately by Jiang Wuya at the instruction of Qin Zhaoyue.

The purpose is to completely intimidate these southern border leaders, so that when they have any other thoughts, they have to consider whether they are capable of withstanding the wrath of such a powerful and elusive person.
