Chapter 164: Issuing a Secret Order [First Update]
A look of despair appeared in Tang Baiyun's eyes.
Behind them is the joint army of Tan Tai Xuan and Jiang Li, and in front is the aggressive army of Xi County.
He had no way to escape. The Nanjun army had already been defeated and had lost all desire to fight, and now, they didn't even have the courage to fight.
This was the first time Tang Baiyun experienced such a situation, and he felt a chill in his heart.
He didn't know why Xi County, where the Overlord was, also joined in the siege. It was clearly to encircle and kill Jiang Li, so how did it end up like this?
Is it because of the barbarians? Tang Baiyun didn't believe it. How could a mere barbarian cause West County and North County to go out together?
It must be a conspiracy. Overlord and Tan Tai Xuan had already planned this conspiracy and wanted to annex his 100,000 troops in Nanjun!
Tang Baiyun's heart was trembling at this moment. He remembered his father Tang Xiansheng's instructions when he came to Beijing, that Jiang Li must be eliminated, otherwise the world would be in chaos and Nanjun would not find any opportunity.
Now……
Nanjun really has no chance.
Once the 100,000 troops of Nanjun were wiped out, even if Nanjun was very rich, it would not be able to withstand such losses and would lose the qualification to compete for the world.
Of course, at this moment Tang Baiyun was concerned about his own life and death.
His best years were just beginning, and he didn't want to die here.
"kill!"
"Since you can't escape, then kill him!"
Tang Baiyun swung his sword and shouted.
He charged towards the Xiliang army, trying to tear open a hole and escape.
Above the earth.
The Overlord was carrying a Ganqi on his back and walking slowly. Behind him, the Xiang family soldiers in armor followed. These Xiang family soldiers were very interesting. The weapons they were equipped with were all heavy axes.
Following behind the Overlord, everyone started running.
"Colluding with the barbarians... this is a crime!"
"Killing the heroes of the Great Zhou with barbarians is a second crime!"
The Overlord roared.
He suddenly pulled out the long axe behind him and smashed it to the ground. A violent gust of air shattered the ground and knocked dozens of people away.
These dozens of people exploded in the air, splashing blood all over the sky.
Tang Baiyun, who was about to charge, froze and turned pale with fright.
Is this a human?!
The title of Overlord of West County is indeed well-deserved.
"Who gave you the courage to collude with the barbarians?"
"Old Tan Tai said it well. If you are not of my race, you must have bad intentions! You bastard, you actually dared to join forces with the barbarians to kill a hero like Jiang Li!"
"Come on, come at me, Xiang Shaoyun, if you have the guts!"
Boom! The Overlord roared.
He rushed towards the army of tens of thousands alone, fearless, with demonic energy everywhere, like an ancient demon god.
"Join hands, collude..."
"Lu Ping'an said it well. These methods are just a manifestation of too weak strength. If you are strong, why do you need to join forces and collude? One person can defeat ten thousand troops. Who in the world can stop him?"
The way of the overlord.
He rushed through the army like a black shadow, and the soldiers of Nanjun could not stop the Overlord at all.
"Southern Palace Army, Southern Palace Army, take action! Stop the Overlord!"
Tang Baiyun swooped down towards his Overlord from the midst of thousands of troops, his face suddenly turning pale.
The armor of the Southern Army clanged as they blocked Tang Baiyun's way.
They unleashed the abbreviated version of the "Eight Meridians" technique taught by Tang Yimo.
The Overlord held the axe in one hand, and spiritual energy formed a violent storm around him.
Then, he swept out fiercely, and with one blow of the axe, suddenly...
All the Southern Army standing in front of the Overlord were cut in half.
Blood spurted three feet away.
It splashed on Tang Baiyun's face, causing his body to tremble.
Overlord originally wanted to capture Tang Baiyun directly.
However, he turned his head suddenly and looked at the barbarian soldiers on the side.
There was murderous intent in his eyes.
"The Five Barbarians outside the Great Zhou are evil and will bring disaster to the people if they invade the Great Zhou."
"Internal fighting is fine, but colluding with foreign enemies is treason."
"I, the Tiger of Xijun, have been circling the border. How many men have left their wives and children to brave the wind and sand to guard the border and fight against the ghost army!"
"And you, a piece of shit, actually colluded with foreign thieves!"
Overlord rushed past Tang Baiyun and swept his axe.
The head of the white horse under Tang Baiyun was chopped off directly.
Tang Baiyun's heart seemed to be clenched.
The Overlord rushed straight towards the barbarians, rushing into them and killing them. On the battlefield, he was the invincible Overlord, not the Overlord in the secret palace who wore the thickest armor and took the most severe beatings! The young priests of the Chili tribe were also a little terrified. They did not expect that the situation would turn out like this in an instant.
The young priest roared in anger and stared at Tang Baiyun with resentment.
This guy... betrayed them! The Overlord is coming.
The barbarians are no match for him at all. The Overlord will show no mercy when dealing with them.
The Northern County army also came to attack. Looking at the Western County army like a group of hungry wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, Tan Tai Xuan took a deep breath.
"When I found out that Nanjun was colluding with the barbarians, I ordered my men to send a message to the Overlord as fast as possible..."
"Let him come from the west. Once the Nanjun army is defeated, the Overlord can block it from the west."
"If you collude with foreign enemies, you will have to pay the price."
Tan Tai Xuan rode his horse and said coldly.
He looked at the barbarians in the Nanjun army, fire surging in his eyes.
When Beijun fought against the Western Rong, his Tan Tai family was at the forefront, and several of Tan Tai Xuan's sons were buried in the desert.
Therefore, Tan Tai Xuan hated foreign enemies very much.
"kill!"
Tan Tai Xuan didn't say much.
He drew the knife from his waist and led the Beijun army to charge.
Jiang Li didn't say anything. He looked at Tan Tai Xuan's rushing back, drew the short sword at his waist, and rode his horse to charge forward.
The outcome of the Nanjun army has been decided.
Destruction was inevitable, and Tang Xiansheng's careful planning was ultimately in vain like the flowing water of a river.
The young priest of the Chili tribe knelt on the ground, bowed their hands and begged for forgiveness from the overlord, saying that they were willing to surrender.
However, the Overlord paid no attention to these people.
With one sweep of the axe, the young priest of the Chili tribe was beheaded.
The Overlord held the axe in one hand, his eyes cold.
Foreign enemies are the most hateful. Even as powerful as they were in ancient times, they were still destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies.
Therefore, the Overlord will not show the slightest mercy to foreign enemies.
Tang Baiyun also wanted to leave.
but.
A figure quickly jumped out from the crowd, pressed his thigh against the neck of Tang Baiyun, who was so flustered that he almost forgot to resist, and pressed him to the ground.
Chi Lian, wearing a cold armor and holding a dagger, placed it across Tang Baiyun's neck.
Tang Baiyun was captured.
The Nanjun army was also completely defeated and chose to kneel down and surrender.
As for the barbarians hidden in the Nanjun army, they were Tang Xiansheng's trump card. However, now that they were exposed, they were all slaughtered by Overlord and Tan Tai Xuan.
When the last rays of dawn shine down.
The ground was littered with corpses, emitting a pungent smell of blood.
The first meeting between Tan Tai Xuan and Overlord, the first collaboration between West County and North County, ended perfectly.
Overlord shook off the blood on the axe, put on his back the Ganqi, glanced at Tan Tai Xuan in the distance, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
Tan Tai Xuan bowed to Overlord from afar.
The Xiang army followed behind the Overlord and disappeared at the end of the horizon.
"You are truly worthy of being called Overlord."
Tan Tai Xuan praised.
Jiang Li also rode his horse and nodded slightly. Everyone said that the Overlord was brave and mighty, but seeing him today, there was indeed a feeling of despair.
After becoming a cultivator, the Overlord became even more violent and almost unstoppable on the battlefield. The dominance of the top cultivators in war... is too strong.
Tang Baiyun was captured and escorted to Jiang Li and Tan Tai Xuan.
Tang Baiyun was covered in blood and had thrown away his armor. His face had long lost all color. His body was unstable and his legs were a little weak.
"Tang Xiansheng took a risk, but unfortunately, he had a stupid son like you."
"Since you have colluded with the barbarians and led them north, you shouldn't have exposed the barbarians so quickly. You don't understand how much we, the older generation, hate foreign enemies!"
Tan Tai Xuan looked at Tang Baiyun and said.
Tang Baiyun, who was tied up, turned pale for a while, and then he couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that the reason he failed was because he exposed the barbarians' tracks.
Tang Baiyun did not beg for mercy, nor did he ask Tan Tai Xuan to use his life to redeem Tang Xiansheng's.
Because Tang Baiyun knew very well that once Tang Xiansheng returned to Nanjun and discovered what he had done in Nanjun, he would never redeem his life.
Tang Baiyun laughed bitterly.
"I am unwilling..."
"Almost, just a little bit..."
Tang Baiyun stared at Jiang Li.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Phew!
Tan Tai Xuan drew his sword.
It wiped Tang Baiyun's neck and blood spurted out.
Tan Tai Xuan had a cold face.
Draw the sword back into the sheath.
"Send Tang Baiyun's head to Nanjun as fast as possible. Tang Xiansheng should have returned to Nanjun by now. Let Tang Xiansheng see with his own eyes the consequences of colluding with foreign enemies."
Tan Tai Xuan's red robe fluttered as he spoke.
Then he turned and left.
The army of North County escorted the remnants of the defeated army of South County and disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Jiang Li rode his horse, Chi Lian followed behind him, and the remaining Black Dragon Guards and the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty also stood there quietly.
Jiang Li looked at Tan Tai Xuan's receding back and took a deep breath.
There was the sound of wheels rolling over the ground.
A carriage drove over.
Elite soldiers gradually surrounded Jiang Li and others.
The cloth covering the carriage was lifted, revealing the old face of Mo Beike.
Jiang Li looked at Mo Beike, smiled and shook his head. He raised his hand and waved it, and the Black Dragon Guards and the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou, who had originally held their weapons, lowered their weapons one after another.
…
Beiluo, an island in the middle of the lake.
The final result of Nanjun's Northern Expedition turned out to be like this, which was somewhat beyond Lu Fan's expectations.
However, it is reasonable to think that if Tang Xiansheng personally leads the army to the north, there is a possibility that he may fight against Tan Tai Xuan and Ba Wang.
Tang Baiyun is still a little stupid.
Not only is it stupid...it's also a scam.
Leaning on the wheelchair, Lu Fan frowned slightly. Many cultivators died in this war.
The Southern Palace Army, the Black Dragon Guards and other armies of cultivators suffered heavy casualties.
Although war inevitably results in casualties, the death of cultivators still has some impact on Lu Fan.
These practitioners were carefully selected and trained by Longmen, so Lu Fan would receive a commission every time they raised a bit of spiritual energy.
Now they are all dead in the war.
The amount of spiritual energy that Lu Fan could obtain was much less.
"If cultivators join the war, it will have a huge impact on the war. It will change the rules of future wars. By then, it may become a confrontation between cultivators..."
Lu Fan frowned slightly, this was somewhat deviated from his original intention.
Such unnecessary deaths and injuries of practitioners will also slow down the process of transforming the world, which is not what Lu Fan wants to see.
Lu Fan had finally given birth to many practitioners in the world, but in the end, these people fought to the death.
Lu Fan thought for a while and decided to make them understand the importance of becoming stronger.
The wheelchair moved slowly and silently across the island.
Lu Dongxuan is leisurely brewing tea, surrounded by beautiful lake and island scenery and rich spiritual energy.
It is simply a natural sanctuary for retirement.
The lake water here is clear and the tea brewed from it is full of fragrance.
In addition, you can secretly pick a peach petal or a chrysanthemum petal and add it to the tea you need to make. The taste of the tea is something that is rare in the world.
"It's nice to have a leisurely and elegant life."
suddenly.
Lu Fan's indifferent voice came from behind Lu Dongxuan.
Lu Dongxuan was so scared that he almost spit out his tea.
"Sir."
Lu Dongxuan wiped his mouth and came closer with a smile on his face. The big gold chain around his neck was swaying in the morning sun, shining brightly.
"The Tianji Pavilion is very idle."
Lu Fan leaned against the wheelchair and said with a half-smile.
Lu Dongxuan waved his hand hurriedly, "I'm not idle, I'm very busy. Every day I'm busy collecting intelligence on major forces in the world... I'm so busy that I don't even have time to drink a cup of tea."
Lu Fan was too lazy to expose his lies.
Lu Mudui was fishing and Lu Dongxuan was making tea. What were they busy with?
"It's time for Tianji Pavilion to do something."
Lu Fan thought about it, looked at Lu Dongxuan, and said.
"Young master, please tell me what's the matter. Tianji Pavilion will ensure it's completed perfectly!" Lu Dongxuan said, patting his chest.
Lu Fan waved his hand: "It's not a big deal."
"Issue a decree of heaven. From today on, the world will stop fighting for three months."
"ah?"
Lu Dongxuan was stunned.
"Can't do it?" Lu Fan looked at Lu Dongxuan and said lightly.
"Yes, yes..." Lu Dongxuan came back to his senses and patted his chest to assure himself.
He looked at Lu Fan, who had a calm expression, and asked cautiously, "Sir... we have issued a decree, but... will people in the world really follow it?"
Lu Fan glanced at Lu Dongxuan, and the wheelchair automatically moved to the second floor of the Baiyujing Pavilion.
"Just send it out."
"Whoever has objections, or dares not to obey...
"Then let them come to Bai Yujing."
…
South County.
After a bumpy day.
Tang Xiansheng finally returned to Nanjiang City, Nanjun. In the carriage, Tang Yimo's fever had subsided a lot and he was much more awake, although his face was still a little pale.
Tang Xiansheng was extremely tired and his clothes were disheveled.
After getting off the carriage and entering the Tang Mansion, I found it surprisingly quiet.
Tang Yimo's face turned pale and he followed behind Tang Xiansheng.
The silence in the Tang Mansion made Tang Yimo frown.
Thinking of something, Tang Yimo ran quickly to the room where his mother and sister were.
Tang Xiansheng sat on the armchair and took a breath.
suddenly.
From the side room, Tang Yimo's cold roar was heard.
"Tang Xiansheng!"
As Tang Xiansheng picked up the teacup, his hand suddenly shook and he almost dropped it to the ground.
He stood up and went to the wing room.
However, Tang Yimo was seen standing in front of the messy room, holding someone's neck in his hand.
"Where are my sister and my mother?!"
Tang Yimo turned his head to look at Tang Xiansheng and asked coldly. His pale face flushed and cold words filled with murderous intent came out from between his teeth.
Tang Xiansheng was stunned.
And at this moment.
However, a soldier covered in blood, holding a wooden box with a terrified look on his face, appeared in Tang Xiansheng's sight, crawling and rolling.
The shrill voice echoed throughout the Tang Mansion.
"Governor, Nanjun...is defeated!"
In the distance, Tang Yimo, whose breath was icy cold, was stunned.
Tang Xiansheng's face turned pale, his body shook, and he tremblingly took the wooden box, which was still oozing blood, handed to him by the blood-stained soldier.
