The situation is critical!
"Ha, I should have known. With your cunning and meticulous mind, how could you not have imagined that I would recognize you and trap you in the cycle of reincarnation!" Yu Xiao gritted his teeth.
Huo Chengche had closed his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Counting it up, it has been tens of thousands of years since you stormed into my Yuanji Mountain in your youthful arrogance. We have also known each other for tens of thousands of years. You should know my nature. If I didn’t truly want to protect your sister, I wouldn’t have entered the cycle of reincarnation in this life to stay by her side.”
Yu Xiao chuckled and crossed his arms, saying, "What's the use of telling me this? You're the only one who can get past my father, my eldest brother, and my second brother. Yes, I know you're not afraid of any of us, but if my father and my two brothers join forces, will you still be laughing?"
"I can't laugh." Huo Chengche didn't deny it, but raised his hand to pinch his brow and sighed softly.
Yu Xiao gloated at his appearance.
"Heh, even Chaos Beasts have their troubles. Well, you just wait and see. My second brother has already arrived in the human realm. He's just waiting for the hidden demons in the human world to make their move, and then he'll wreak havoc everywhere. He'll also take care of that troublesome little prince of the human realm... Tsk, my second brother doesn't have a very good temper."
Huo Chengche pursed his lips coldly, raised his foot, and kicked Yu Xiao away. "I got you a house in the suburbs of the capital. Your identity in the human world is also in there. You're just a nobody. Go travel among the common people and stop getting in my way!"
"Hiss—" Yu Xiao was so angry his head was throbbing, but seeing that Huo Chengche was really going to call someone in to throw him out, he had no choice but to back down, gritting his teeth and saying,
"I can put in a good word for you with my father and brothers. You, arrange for me to stay by Niannian's side! Otherwise, just wait until I finish this cycle of reincarnation and return to the Heavenly Realm, I will definitely expose your hideout to my father and brothers!"
"make a deal."
...
The next day, Cha Nian, the little baby, discovered that her third brother had transformed into an ordinary-looking eunuch who came to her side and said that he could stay with her forever and play in the human world for sixty years.
The baby was overjoyed.
However, some are happy while others are sad.
More than half a month later, the Marquis of Xingbai, who had not been captured, launched a rebellion and joined forces with several clan forces in Zhongtang Kingdom!
Marquis Xingbai seemed exceptionally confident, advancing straight into the Central Plains with unstoppable momentum.
The passes of Xiheng Kingdom also seemed particularly vulnerable. Even if the central government managed to gather tens of thousands of troops, plus the 100,000 soldiers that Marquis Xingbai took with him when he defected, not to mention how stable the morale of the army that suddenly rebelled in this peaceful and prosperous era could be, how could such a small force break through the impregnable city defenses one after another in a short period of time?
The border defenses of Xiheng State have a force of 300,000, which should not be easily breached by the rebel army of Marquis Xingbai.
Given the urgency of the situation, the imperial court in the capital, which was already more furious than panicked, was stunned and could hardly believe the news of the battle from the front.
At this time, the best way to stabilize the morale of the troops at the front is for the emperor to personally lead the expedition.
However, at this time, Crown Prince Huo Chengche volunteered to lead the army in the name of the heir apparent, leaving Emperor Chongjin to guard the rear while he went to join forces with the loyal army led by the two princes of Hengchang to annihilate the rebel army.
In the winter of that year, the young man led an army of 300,000 to the aid of the last line of defense for the capital—Yuxia Pass.
On the eve of the battle, at the pass, in the royal army's main tent.
A burly figure entered the camp in the middle of the night, holding a sword to his throat, coldly looking at the young man sitting in the tent as if he had been waiting for him.
"Ha, you have some nerve. You came here on your own initiative, just waiting for me to come looking for you?"
Huo Chengche nodded in agreement, looking at the ruthless and imposing man before him, and asked calmly, "Is it negotiable?"
"No."
