Chapter 205: The Troops Arrive at the Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty [Second Update, Please Subscribe]

The morning glow of dawn breaks the silence of the night.

Formerly outside Akagi.

Tan Tai Xuan was dressed in armor and had a solemn expression. He stepped on the chariot, and the wheels of the chariot rolled over the white snow, leaving heavy marks.

Snow was falling from the sky, and the cold snow covered the earth with a thick white coat.

Jiang Li was wearing silver armor and pulling a red horse. The horse was panting with hot air, and it looked like a ball of blazing flame in the white snow.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to attack with us."

Jiang Li looked at Tan Tai Xuan who was standing on the chariot and said.

Tan Tai Xuan shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "My soldiers are charging into battle, how can I hide behind them?"

"We must fight...we must fight together."

Tan Tai Xuan said it with absolute certainty.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and said, "It would be better if the king could personally go into battle. The soldiers would be more motivated."

Tan Tai Xuan smiled and looked towards the direction of Wangtian City.

Overlord attacked Wangtian City. With the Xiliang army and the cultivators like Overlord, it was not difficult to break through Wangtian City. In fact, the battle had already ended and the Xiliang army was already preparing to attack Dijing.

Jiang Li said that they wanted to race against time, and Mo Ju also said that they wanted to race against time.

But, in reality, Tan Tai Xuan really had no confidence. The Xiliang army led by Overlord... was too strong.

Of course, Tan Tai Xuan did not underestimate himself. He believed that his Great Xuan Army was equally strong!

The war drums are beating and the flags are flying.

The dull sound of the horn shattered the white snow in the sky.

Jiang Li jumped onto the horse.

"Protect the king."

Jiang Li put on the silver helmet, looked at the two Xuanwu guards, and said seriously.

Then, holding a silver spear, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, the sound of horse hooves exploded, and mud splashed.

The hissing sound exploded between heaven and earth.

The red horse trampled out.

Jiang Li ran among the Daxuan army, shouting slogans loudly, ordering the Daxuan army to deploy their troops and battle formations. Accompanied by the sound of war drums, they slowly advanced towards Yuanchicheng.

The battle was brutal.

Because there is no cultivator in the Ti Zang realm as powerful as Overlord.

Therefore, it is not easy to break through Yuanchicheng, but there is the ingenious siege strategy left by Mo Beike, the leader of the Mohist school, and Jiang Li's deployment of troops.

Although the battle was brutal, it was much easier than expected.

The original Akagi City had also been taken over by the Black Dragon Guards, and the strong men of the Thirteen Black Dragon Guards led the Black Dragon Guards to launch an attack.

The Daxuan Army suffered heavy casualties immediately. After all, they had the Black Dragon Guards join them.

The army of practitioners is simply a meat grinder on the battlefield.

Jiang Li held a silver spear in his hand, his eyes wide open as he led the Black Tortoise Guards in a fierce battle with the Black Dragon Guards.

There is no order of difficulty in war.

These are all victories built by piling up corpses.

In this battle, both the Black Dragon Guards and the Black Tortoise Guards suffered heavy casualties. However, the Black Tortoise Guards were more numerous and charged forward fearlessly.

The Black Dragon Guards were scared.

The Thirteen Black Dragon Guards rode away, they didn't understand why these Black Tortoise Guards were so brutal and reckless.

Tan Tai Xuan was also blood-thirsty. Although he was a king, he still rushed to the front line.

When the Black Dragon Guards and the Thirteen Black Dragons withdrew.

The city lord of Yuanchicheng did not retreat. Like the city lord of Wangtiancheng, these old city lords who protected the city, waved their weapons in their hands and rushed towards Tan Tai Xuan with their final nostalgia for Yuanchicheng. They were pierced by the sharp blades in the hands of the Xuanwu Guards who were guarding Tan Tai Xuan.

The Battle of Hara Akagi ended.

For the Daxuan Kingdom, this battle was not easy.

The armor on Tan Tai Xuan's body was dripping with blood. He walked to the side of Yuan Chicheng Lord and sighed.

The former Lord of Chicheng City could have retreated with the Black Dragon Guards.

However...to Tan Tai Xuan's surprise, the old city lord chose to die in battle in Yuan Chicheng.

"He's a man."

Tan Tai Xuan took a deep breath and ordered people to carry the body of the former Lord of Chicheng City away for a proper burial.

The army of Daxuan Kingdom slowly entered the city.

Took charge of Yuan Chi.

Tan Tai Xuan was not unfamiliar with this city.

Mo Ju quickly and easily took control of the management of Yuanchicheng. After adjusting the order of Yuanchicheng, scouts rode into the city.

Inside the former Akagi's operations room.

Hearing the news sent back by the scouts, the expressions of the generals in armor turned serious.

"The Xiliang army conquered Wangtian City in less than an hour..."

"The Overlord broke the city gate by himself and forced back the Thirteen Black Dragons and nearly a hundred Black Dragon Guards!"

The scout knelt and told the news.

The blood beads on Jiang Li's silver armor were still rolling. After hearing this, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"As expected of the Overlord... This man is so brave that he can defeat an army alone!"

"The reputation of a practitioner in the Ti Zang realm is well-deserved."

Jiang Li sighed.

Mo Ju, wearing a crane cloak, paced in the cold war room.

Compared to the generals' amazement and sighs, Mo Ju needed to think more.

"Compared to Xiliang, my Great Xuan Nation... has a weakness that is difficult to conceal."

Mo Ju looked at Tan Tai Xuan and said.

"We in the Great Xuan Nation lack a Ti Zang realm warrior with unparalleled combat power like Overlord."

Mo Ju said seriously.

"If Daxuan and Xiliang meet at that time, they will suffer a great loss..."

"None of us can fight against the Overlord. If the Overlord uses the decapitation tactic, like he did before, and comes alone to capture and kill the king, what should we do? Who can stop him?"

Mo Ju said.

There was a seriousness and sonority in his gentle voice.

This is indeed a very serious issue, and even Jiang Li has a headache.

"How many people in the world are there who practice the Ti Zang realm? Apart from the Bai Yu Jing disciples, Overlord is the only one leading the way. What can we do?"

Tan Tai Xuan smiled.

"Our goal is to attack Zhou. Now... don't think about the matter of the Overlord, attack the Great Zhou first!"

Tan Tai Xuan Dao.

Inside the war room, everyone fell silent.

"Don't be so dejected. I failed several times when I wanted to be immortal, but I was not as depressed as you. What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

"The Overlord is strong, but the soldiers of my Great Xuan Nation are not made of dough!"

Tan Tai Xuan slammed the table and said loudly.

The generals in the war room were also excited and echoed.

Compared to the excited generals, Mo Ju, as a strategist, was quite calm. He looked at Tan Tai Xuan deeply.

Although Tan Tai Xuan didn't care, Mo Ju would not allow anything that would disrupt the balance to happen.

thus……

He exited the war room.

He left a letter for Tan Tai Xuan, put on a crane cloak, and rode away from Yuan Chicheng on horseback.

He traveled north alone.

Disappeared in the endless snowstorm.

In the world of Ti Zang Realm, besides the disciples of Bai Yujing, there is another person who can restrain the Overlord.

…

Imperial capital.

The old eunuch lowered his head and walked hurriedly.

He stepped over the threshold of the Purple Gold Palace and quickly entered the main hall.

Yuwen Xiu sat upright on the dragon throne with his eyes slightly closed, as if taking a nap.

The old eunuch bowed and said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty... the battle report from the front has been sent back."

The hall was quiet for a long time.

Then, Yuwen Xiucai opened his eyes and said, "Speak."

If it were in the past, Yuwen Xiu would have been impatient, like an ant on hot pot, but now, Yuwen Xiu was surprisingly calm.

"The Xiliang army, led by Xiliang King Xiang Shaoyun, was defeated in less than an hour, and the Lord of Wangtian City was killed in the battle..."

"The original Chicheng and the Great Xuan Army were in a stalemate for four hours. The Black Dragon Guards were no match for the Great Xuan Army and retreated. The lord of the original Chicheng died in the battle, and the original Chicheng was breached."

"Tong'an City was attacked by the army led by Xiliang's first-class general Xu Chu. After three hours of hard fighting, the lord of Tong'an City opened the city gates to welcome the Xiliang army and chose to surrender..."

The hall was very quiet.

Only the old eunuch's somewhat sharp voice was left, telling of one defeat after another, making the atmosphere in the hall a little weird.

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Yuwen Xiu who was sitting on the dragon throne.

If it were the past.

Hearing these words, Yuwen Xiu might have been furious.

However……

Yuwen Xiu was very calm now, so calm that it was beyond the old eunuch's expectations.

"Your Majesty, three of the six defensive cities have been lost..."

The old eunuch said.

Yuwen Xiu waved his hand, "I understand."

Yuwen Xiu rubbed his temple, looked at the old eunuch, and said: "Three of the six defensive cities have fallen, Beiluo City is almost useless, and the armies of Beijun and Xijun can basically march straight in..."

Narrowing his eyes, Yuwen Xiu stood up from the dragon throne.

He paced above with his hands behind his back.

Then, his eyes flashed with sharpness: "Pass on my order, order the city lords of Pingnan City and Zuilong City to lead the garrison troops back to the Imperial Capital, gather troops, and fight against the rebels!"

Yuwen Xiu said.

Instead of waiting for the cities to be breached one by one, it is better to gather the strength of the five major city defenses.

Besides, Yuwen Xiu is not without means.

He narrowed his eyes, took out two letters from the dragon chair and patted them gently.

…

On the shore of Beiluo Lake.

Despite the heavy snow, there was no sign of freezing in Beiluo Lake.

Mo Beike walked to Beiluo Lake. Looking at the Beiluo Lake surrounded by rich spiritual energy, his heavy bags under his eyes trembled.

He saw many practitioners riding the waves of Beiluo Lake.

As if strolling in a garden, he knew that these practitioners were all disciples of Bai Yujing.

He saw Lu Changkong.

Lu Changkong, who was in the Ti Zang realm, came across the lake holding a peach blossom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lu Changkong didn't say anything, but just pointed to the other end of Beiluo Lake and left.

If Lu Fan allows Mo Beike to enter the island, then Mo Beike can naturally enter. If Lu Fan does not allow, then Mo Beike cannot enter the island.

Mo Beike found a bamboo raft.

He boarded the bamboo raft and rowed the boat himself, causing the raft to sway and paddle across the lake, creating ripples and heading towards the island in the middle of the lake.

The bamboo raft drifted slowly, unable to retain the scenery of the lake on both sides, and crashed into the thick clouds that enveloped the lake.

The rich spiritual energy made Mo Beike couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He saw the Dragon Gate and the little Yinglong lying on the Dragon Gate. The little Yinglong glanced at him, with white steam coming out of its nostrils.

The bamboo raft touched the shore, and Mo Beike rolled up his clothes and stepped onto the island.

The huge chrysanthemums are blooming brilliantly.

The peach blossoms are like the red face of a shy girl.

Mo Beike sighed that the base of Baiyujing was like a fairyland.

Under the Baiyujing Pavilion.

There was a figure in white, with flying hair, sitting on a silver wheelchair.

He turned around slowly and looked at Mo Beike.

Mo Beike looked at Lu Fan and inexplicably felt a huge pressure in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Mo Beike's heavy eye bags trembled, but he did not retreat and continued to move forward courageously.

Finally, he came to ten steps in front of Lu Fan and could not go any further.

"Master Mo, you finally dare to enter Beiluo City."

Lu Fan smiled and looked at Mo Beike.

"I am here to apologize to Young Master Lu. What happened back then was my fault..."

Mo Beike looked at Lu Fan, cupped his hands, and bowed to Lu Fan three times.

Lu Fan understood what Mo Beike was referring to.

At that time, Wei Luan, one of the disciples of Yin Yang School, pretended to be Mo Beike and entered Beiluo City. Although all the disciples of Yin Yang School and Mohist School were killed by Lu Fan in the end, Mo Beike knew that he still had to bear the blame.

He had studied Lu Fan and knew the temperament of this Young Master Lu very well.

Lu Fan looked at Mo Beike deeply and said nothing.

He smiled.

Looking at Mo Beike, I vaguely felt as if I had met the Master.

In fact, Mo Beike and Kong Xiu are really somewhat similar. They are both geniuses of the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Lu Fan did not make things difficult for Mo Beike.

Sweep away with a flick of the sleeve.

Suddenly the spiritual pressure chessboard floated in front of him.

"A game of chess?"

Lu Fan said.

With a gentle push of his hand, the white chess box immediately flew towards Mo Beike.

Mo Beike caught it and his face trembled slightly.

"It is said that Young Master Lu is an unrivaled chess player... Then I, an old man, will show off my ugliness."

Mo Beike held the white chess box, picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Lu Fan rolled up his sleeves, picked up a chess piece, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

In the snow and wind, the two played chess quietly.

The wind and snow seemed to become the background and could not affect the two people at all.

The pieces were moved back and forth, and the crisp sound of them dropping could be heard one after another.

The more Mo Beike made his move, the more he frowned. After a long time, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He thought he was a good chess player, but in this game, he couldn't keep up with Lu Fan's rhythm. The opponent's moves were erratic, as if a pair of eyes were locked on every corner of the chessboard.

A drop of sweat fell from the tip of Mo Beike's nose and dripped onto the snow.

He put down the white chess piece between his fingers and shook his head.

"I lost."

Lu Fan leaned against the wheelchair and waved his hand, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were immediately put into the chess box.

"I know what you want to ask. In fact, after playing this game of chess, you should have the answer in your mind."

"Your trip was in vain."

"In order to save you from regrets, I will answer you with the same words I gave to the Master."

Lu Fan leaned against the wheelchair, his white shirt floating gently, looking at Mo Beike and said.

Mo Beike was startled. Did he answer Kong Xiu's question at that time? Mo Beike sat upright and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Lu Fan smiled and looked towards Beiluo Lake. "Whether it's Daxuan or Xiliang, as long as you don't provoke Beiluo City, Beiluo City won't care about you..."

"If you don't provoke me."

"Whatever happens in this temple or in this world...it has nothing to do with me."

"After all, I, Lu Ping'an, always treat people with sincerity."

Mo Beike was stunned when he heard this.

He thought about what happened in Baiyujing's life, and realized that he had indeed not personally intervened in the government.

Yes, and that was also because I provoked Lu Fan.

Just like the noble families of Beiluo City, and the ministers in the imperial capital who drafted an edict to attack Lufan...

The purpose of Baiyujing's existence seems to be more... to cultivate practitioners.

A pure cultivator force? In addition to the Tianji cease-war order at the beginning, but later, Mo Beike also knew that Bai Yujing's cease-war order was probably issued because Bai Yujing predicted that the world would change and the Five Barbarians would disrupt the Zhou Dynasty.

Mo Beike had mixed emotions. He looked at Lu Fan, stood up, and said with a folded hand, "I understand."

At this moment, Mo Beike also realized that he was a little crazy, because he had been studying Lu Fan all the time, but he couldn't get out of this vicious circle. In fact, when he stepped out and looked at Lu Fan, he realized... his trip to Beiluo was completely meaningless.

Even Jiang Li knew clearly that as long as Bei Luo was not provoked, Bei Luo would not take any action at all.

After getting the answer from Lu Fan, Mo Beike stopped asking questions, and Lu Fan ignored him.

He was busy setting up the chess game.

Mo Beike saw Kong Nanfei in the distance.

As he approached, he saw the Master's tomb.

Mo Tianyu and Kong Nanfei had mixed emotions when they saw Mo Beike. They had always been rivals of the Master during his lifetime, and they had never expected that they would meet in this way.

Mo Beike sat cross-legged in front of the Master's tomb and said a lot to the tombstone.

It's more like chatting about family matters.

Mo Beike and Kong Xiu have been arguing all their lives, and they have never sat down and talked so calmly. Although this conversation was just Mo Beike talking to himself, Mo Beike was very happy.

After saying that.

Mo Beike left and paddled the bamboo raft out of Beiluo Lake again.

Standing on the bamboo raft, Mo Beike, with a hunched back, looked in the direction of Confucius' tomb.

A hint of envy appeared under the heavy eye bags.

After his death, the Master was buried in a fairyland like the island in the middle of the lake.

It is still unknown where Mo Beike will turn into in the future.

Mo Beike left Beiluo City.

He boarded the carriage and rode at full speed towards Harachi City.

…

Under the clouds as thick as lead dust.

Wangtian City.

The Overlord stood on the chariot, which was pulled by three horses.

The target is directly towards the capital.

Behind him, the Xiliang generals waved their weapons, war drums beat, and horns sounded.

The Xiliang army marched in a mighty force...heading towards the imperial capital.

In Tong'an City, Xu Chu looked at the sky and saw that it was the time agreed with the Overlord, so he ordered the army in Tong'an City to unload their baggage and quickly attack the Imperial Capital.

Jiang Li could tell that Daxuan and Xiliang were competing for speed, so how could Xu Chu and Overlord not tell? For Overlord, there was no need for any rest, he could just attack and crush all the way until he hit Huanglong, the imperial capital.

…

Former Akagi.

Tan Tai Xuan rode on a war horse, Jiang Li and many generals gathered around him.

Although the two strategists, Mo Ju and Mo Beike, are not here, Tan Tai Xuan still has to make a decision after all.

He looked up at the dark sky, towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.

Behind them, the army of the Great Xuan Kingdom had just gone through the battle of Yuan Chicheng, and they were still exhausted, but excitement and anticipation were revealed on everyone's face.

They did not retreat nor were they afraid. While attacking Zhou, they also wanted to compete with the Xiliang army.

Tan Tai Xuan laughed.

There was a clanging sound.

The light of the white blade seemed to tear apart the heavy leaden clouds.

The tip of the sword pointed directly towards the capital.

The horn sounded, and the bare-chested drummer in the heavy snow kept swinging his drumstick. The sound of the war drum seemed like sparks jumping into the hay, igniting the boiling blood of every soldier of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Tan Tai Xuan pointed his white blade in the distance.

Jiang Li waved his silver spear, and the army of the Great Xuan Kingdom marched forward from Yuanchicheng, crushing the snow on the ground and heading straight for the Imperial Capital.
