Chapter 568 Rumor has it that the talks between the Seven Kingdoms and Bai Yu broke down
Nansang Army Camp.
After nightfall, lights were turned on in each tent, and soldiers wearing silver armor and cloth armor sat in front of the tents, drinking and laughing loudly.
"The front lines are reporting continuous success. The Dongpu border defenses were broken through in a month. Chicheng was captured on the 20th, and Yangcheng was taken on the 17th..."
"Hahaha! It's truly extraordinary to have the help of divine weapons! The more our Nansang army fights, the more motivated they become!"
"After several battles, Nansang lost less than 20,000 soldiers, but Dongpu and Beixiang lost at least 140,000! Even if Nansang fought one against two, they were unstoppable. They terrified Dongpu and Beixiang!"
"At this rate, in three to five years, Nan Sang will become the overlord of the Central Plains! God bless Nan Sang! Your Majesty is mighty!"
Inside the commander's tent, Emperor Nansang and Yan Changkong sat opposite each other at a low vermilion lacquered table, with a faint smell of alcohol in their air, having already drunk half of a jar of liquor.
Listening to the laughter coming from outside, Yan Chongming's face did not show much joy.
"I was careless and underestimated the Ghost Emperor Bai Yu, and sent five hundred divine weapons into his hands for nothing." Yan Chongming's voice was very heavy, and this matter seemed to have become a thorn in his heart.
The reason why he showed up in person that day was, firstly, that he was worried about handing the magic weapon to someone else, and secondly, he wanted to slap Bai Yu in the face with his own hands, letting him see that the Emperor Nansang, whom he thought had died in his hands, was still alive, and it was he, Bai Yu, who had been fooled.
As a result, when Bai Yu saw him appear, he did not show any shock or surprise, and it was obvious that he had known this would happen.
Yan Chongming has lived for more than seventy years. He is very cunning and thinks he has never lost to others. However, he has been repeatedly defeated by a young junior, losing not only his wife but also his army!
"Bai Yu is a man of many tricks and schemes, making it difficult to guard against him. Grandfather was careless and was deceived by him. There is no need to dwell on this matter." Yan Changkong took the wine jar and poured the wine, saying calmly, "Even if we lost 500 divine weapons, we still have nearly 4,500 available. There is no need to worry too much."
"No, although we still have 4,500 divine weapons, the number of times they can be used is extremely limited. Even if you divide the remaining scalp of Quartz into pieces again and again, there will not be enough to fill the palm of your hand." Yan Zhongming's eyes were gloomy, and a dark light flashed. "Bai Yu is a serious threat. I will never be at ease unless I find a way to get rid of him. After Su Jiuni died, there was no trace of Quartz. I am most worried that Quartz is in Bai Yu's hands. If that is the case, our 4,500 divine weapons will become useless."
After a pause, he looked up and stared at Yan Changkong, "Emperor Dongpu and Wenren Jing brought several emperors of small vassal states to the place of exile for help. Did they get any results?"
"The spies watching over there haven't reported any new information yet. The latest news is that Wenren Jing and seven others have just entered the Land of Exile."
"They entered the exile zone at the end of June. It's already mid-July, so there should be a result. Send someone over to ask about it. I'll know the result soon so I can devise a countermeasure."
Yan Changkong said yes, and was about to say something else when the messenger outside the tent loudly asked for a meeting.
The two looked at each other, realized something, and both stood up from their seats.
Yan Changkong summoned the messenger into the account and took the secret letter from him.
Yan Zhongming couldn't wait for him to read the letter, so he snatched it away and read it himself. The dark light in his eyes gradually grew stronger. "The seven people stayed in exile for three days and escaped in a panic. Everyone was injured. Wen Renjing had an arm broken! The traces of the divine soldiers appeared at the gate of the border city. They were violent and uncontrollable. They smashed the gate and disappeared underground! Bai Yu led his men to search the border city for several days, but to no avail! Hahahaha! What good news!"
Yan Changkong frowned and said carefully, "Grandfather, Bai Yu is a meticulous and cunning person. It's best to investigate whether this matter is true or not."
"I dare not believe this matter completely, but it is not completely unbelievable. Wenren Jing's ambition to compete for the world is no less than mine, and his goal is naturally to reach the top and become emperor, but now he has been cut off an arm in the place of exile! It is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of ascending the throne! Do you think an old fox like him would use his own imperial career to scheme? I dare not say about other things, but there are two things that are certain. One is that the seven countries did not reach an agreement with Bai Yu, and the other is that Bai Yu could not control himself after taking the five hundred magic weapons, which means that the quartz is not in his hands! It really is God's help to me, Nan Sang!" Yan Chongming laughed, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
An uncontrolled magical weapon is just scrap metal no matter how powerful it is.
The five hundred that Bai Yu took from him would be in vain if he couldn't use them.
"According to the original plan, continue deploying divine soldiers on various battlefields. Once we have taken the seven kingdoms under our control, Dai Viet will be our target!"
…
The seven nations fled in panic from their place of exile, and many people were seen in the border town, so the news spread quickly.
Rumors that the seven countries' requests for help were rejected also spread widely, and the people talked about it a lot.
Everyone who paid attention to the battle of Dongpu thought that Dongpu would definitely be defeated next, and there was almost no suspense.
No one saw that on the ship returning from the seven countries, in addition to the emperors, princes and their trusted followers, there was also a young man with a cold face.
He liked to sit alone in the cabin with his sword in his arms, never speaking a word. He especially cherished the gray clothes he wore and the white skin underneath.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the six emperors and one king sent even their trusted followers away and ordered them to stay in the lower cabin and not to come to the deck without permission.
It takes at least twenty days to travel from the place of exile to reach Chishui in Longxi, Darong.
During these twenty days, the seven people stayed in the cabin with the young man, wishing to study him thoroughly inside and out.
As the destination neared, Emperor Feng Lan began to feel a little impatient and said, "We'll be arriving in Longxi soon, Su Jiuni——"
As soon as he said these three words, the young man in gray sitting on the porthole immediately turned his head and looked at him with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.
Emperor Feng Lan was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone, "Princess Mingyue?"
The young man withdrew his gaze.
Seven people, “…”
"Princess Mingyue said that Wang Bai alone is enough. Do you have confidence?" Knowing that the divine soldier in front of him cannot be fooled, Emperor Feng Lan chose his words and sentences carefully.
"We have signed a contract with Princess Mingyue. She will keep her word. We just have to trust her." Wen Renjing felt very complicated.
Su Jiuni's magic weapon is so protective of its master.
If you don't know the details, who would dare to believe that the person sitting in front of you is not a human?
"Actually, none of us are sure. Whether it will succeed or not depends on seeing it for ourselves. Emperor Dongpu, let's go to Dongpu in person and see for ourselves!" Emperor Long Yuan suggested. "I'm sure you all want to see the power of the magic weapon, too."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed.
The transport ship changed its route and headed directly to Dongpu.
Early August, Dongpu Liangcheng.
Outside the city, flags fluttered and drums beat, and the Nansang army was shouting at the gates of the city.
However, in just a few months, the Nansang cavalry had already set foot in the heart of Dongpu. Liangcheng was the central and important place of Dongpu. If this city was captured again, Nansang would be able to drive directly to the imperial city of Yishao!
The Dongpu Army in the city held their swords tightly and stood ready for battle. The murderous atmosphere was so thick that it almost condensed into substance.
Behind him are the people of the entire city!
The city gate in front of us is the last line of defense to protect the people.
As long as the city is there, people will live; if the city is destroyed, people will die!
