Chapter 180: A Great Achievement! [Please give me a monthly ticket and subscribe. My subscriptions have been declining recently, which is very frustrating.]
The moon slowly sets.
The sun gradually appeared halfway.
The time when night and day alternate.
The gray light made the entire dense forest look like Asura Hell.
Body parts were scattered all over the ground.
The earth is stained red with blood.
In the extremely narrow mountain road in the distance, there were densely packed corpses of demon soldiers.
"Hmm~"
A barely human-like figure on the ground groaned.
First, he moved slightly.
Then there was the sound of people sucking in their breath.
“It hurts~”
Zeng Anmin opened his eyes.
Then he sat up with difficulty.
His eyes turned to the pieces of broken jade on the ground.
"Phew~ Fortunately, I have the life-saving jade pendant that the princess gave me. First, I faced the assassins in the nunnery, and then the attack of the Mongoose Demon King. This jade pendant has been of great help to me!"
After breathing a sigh of relief, Zeng Anmin hurriedly felt the martial arts aura in his body.
"It's still the fifth rank combat power."
The [Last Reserve] was not triggered due to the battle with Mongoose.
I feel relieved.
Zeng Anmin moved his body with difficulty.
The pain coming from all over his body made him feel helpless.
For a moment I didn't know where the pain started first.
Fortunately, his golden finger has another entry.
[(Silver) Blood Romance: The more severe the injury, the more bleeding, and the lower the perception of pain]
"I can still feel the pain."
That proves that the injury is not too serious at this time.
It just looked miserable, but did not harm the origin.
Zeng Anmin supported himself on the ground and slowly stood up.
He looked at the desolate ground.
There were corpses everywhere.
"One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers."
He pursed his lips, dragged his injured body, and slowly walked to the corpses in front of him.
"Mongoose..."
Zeng Anmin looked at the demon king's corpse lying on the ground, which had been split in half vertically by an axe.
His eyes flickered with a sharp light.
It was in the tent at that time.
The eldest princess' words rang in my ears.
"The Mongoose tribe is extremely far away from our army, and their combat power is not strong. It is highly unlikely that they would waste resources to travel thousands of miles from the Bixuan tribe to the Baideng Trail, then descend the mountain to the plains to disrupt General Tian's army."
"Also, the Mongoose Demon King has always been at odds with the other Demon Kings of the Demon Clan. Although he is a member of the Demon Clan, he has no hostility towards our human race. He only cares about the safety of his tribe and can be considered a law-abiding and muddle-headed Demon King."
"So our army now only needs to focus all its attention on this Bixuan tribe."
…
"Then what is Mongoose's purpose in coming here?"
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes and stared at the corpse on the ground.
"And it looks like he came prepared, more like..."
"I came all the way from his tribe..."
Zeng Anmin slowly squatted down, and the movements of the mongoose when he first saw it softly appeared in his ears.
“Pah.”
Zeng Anmin reached out and took out a black compass from Mongooseya's body.
The compass was held quietly in his palm.
"Something about this compass attracts the meerkat."
He murmured slowly.
He thought carefully about the battle.
If we say that the appearance of Bixuan is understandable.
Then the sudden appearance of the Mongoose King is somewhat unreasonable.
"It came from a thousand miles away, and as soon as it appeared, it took this compass in its hand."
"I have no troops with me, I am alone."
"It proves that he was in a hurry and his purpose was very clear..."
"In that case, we can infer that there is something on this compass that is attracting it..."
Zeng Anmin slowly turned his head to look at the corpse of Xuanzhensi Li Le.
Li Le's body was still there at this time.
He was killed by Bixuan.
"Junior Brother Li Le...you brought this compass with you."
"No...it's Xuanzhensi."
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.
"Duke Tian Ji of Wei explained it very clearly."
"This demon-hunting disk was made by Master Xu himself."
"If this demon-hunting disk contains a lure strong enough to lure the demon king from afar, the people from the Xuanzhen Division will definitely reveal it!"
"So what secret is hidden in this... or is it a conspiracy..."
Doubts appeared in Zeng Anmin's mind one after another.
His narrowed eyes became sharper and sharper.
But before he could continue thinking.
Then a soft "moan" sound was heard.
The sound is very thin.
But in this silent forest, it seems extremely abrupt.
Zeng Anmin looked up suddenly.
The eldest princess's curvy body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Oh right! Princess! And Old Qin!"
Zeng Anmin ignored the pain and injuries in his body and casually put the monster-hunting disk into his arms.
Soon he came before the eldest princess.
"Old Qin!"
Zeng Anmin's body trembled violently.
Under his gaze.
Qin Shoucheng's body had shriveled up like a dead tree.
The skin is also like a rotten apple, extremely dry.
Lying on the ground motionless.
It seemed as if he had lost his breath for a long time.
Zeng Anbian's body did not move.
He stared at Qin Shoucheng's body.
Clenched teeth.
I've bitten my lip.
He squatted down woodenly and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.
Gently covered Qin Shoucheng's eyes.
"How did he... die..."
Zeng Anmin felt extremely sad.
He couldn't believe it.
The little old man in my memory who always had a cold face when he saw me.
Now lie in front of yourself.
Zeng Anmin looked at Qin Shoucheng's body for a long time without moving.
"Bixuan wanted to leave, but you wouldn't let him."
"Bixuan will self-destruct, and you will perish with him."
"Why do you look like you're deliberately seeking death?"
Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely deep.
He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Great Sage Capital.
"Dad... Master Xu... Is Qin Shoucheng the pawn in your plan..."
"A dignified fourth-rank scholar... lost his life just like that..."
Zeng Anmin didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.
He doesn't believe it.
He didn't believe the father in his memory, the serious father.
He would use his old friends as pawns.
"What can we gain by doing this?!"
Zeng Anmin clenched his teeth tightly.
He stared blankly at Qin Shoucheng's already decayed body in front of him.
Motionless.
I can't figure it out.
He really couldn't figure it out.
His heart felt a little cold.
In his impression, his father and Qin Shoucheng would quarrel as soon as they met.
But he could clearly see the friendship between the two hidden beneath their quarrels.
He didn't believe that his father would let Qin Shoucheng sacrifice himself for the so-called "plan".
But the facts... are right in front of us.
His heart was in turmoil.
…
"Hmm~"
The eldest princess finally opened her eyes and struggled to stand up.
The martial arts atmosphere rotates throughout the night.
The injuries in her body have improved.
There is also strength in the body.
She staggered to her feet, her eyes slowly raised and looked forward.
She saw Zeng Anmin standing in front of Qin Shoucheng's body for a long time without saying a word.
She looked at Zeng Anmin with a complicated expression.
"The Five Ranks of Confucianism and Taoism..."
"Fifth level of martial arts..."
"Those inexplicable scales on the body..."
"besides……"
In her mind, she recalled the last time Zeng Anmin chopped down the axe at Mongoose Ya.
The eerie glow of the blood-red axe.
"Divine Artifact!"
In her impression.
Zeng Anmin is an extremely intelligent young man.
He single-handedly solved many major cases in Liangjiang County.
He then entered Beijing and stirred up the situation under the name "Zeng Liangjiang".
Named "National Minister" by the Crown Prince
He also emerged as a genius of Confucianism and Taoism.
People even call him "Three Wonders Master".
She was also impressed by Zeng Anmin's talent and wanted to recruit him.
But after all, Zeng Anmin is the son of the Minister of War. Although he was not recruited, he could still cooperate with him.
But even so.
She didn't expect that Zeng Anmin could hide so deeply.
"How many secrets does he have?"
The eldest princess looked at Zeng Anmin's back.
Last night subconsciously emerged in my memory.
The mongoose wanted to eat him.
That critical moment.
He was holding an axe.
Block with determination.
He himself was clearly seriously injured at the time...
The eldest princess looked at Zeng Anmin's back, her eyes lost in thought for a long time.
"Your Highness."
Zeng Anmin's inexplicable voice came slowly.
Pulled the absent-minded princess back to her senses.
"Um?"
After the eldest princess came back to her senses, her eyes instantly regained their composure and she looked at Zeng Anmin.
"Did Old Man Qin say anything to you before he died?"
Zeng Anmin turned around slowly.
The phoenix eyes, filled with brilliance, fell on the eldest princess.
When the eldest princess heard this, her brows furrowed slightly.
She remembered Qin Shoucheng's words.
"If you can return from this battle, tell that boy... to take good care of my daughter for me."
"Although this brat may be a bit erratic sometimes, he...will not mistreat my daughter."
She opened her mouth.
I want to say this.
But the thought of saying this might lead to Zeng Anmin's marriage to Qin Shoucheng's only daughter.
For some reason, a faint sense of loss arose in my heart.
She pursed her lips.
"No?"
Zeng Anmin looked at the eldest princess who had been silent for a long time, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
In his impression.
Qin Shoucheng sought death on his own initiative.
Those who actively seek death will definitely have something to say, whether it be a last word or something else.
The eldest princess sighed imperceptibly.
She looked at Zeng Anmin calmly, her voice indifferent:
"Dean Qin asked you to take good care of his only daughter."
Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Then a hint of self-mockery slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"How can someone like me be worthy of her?"
He shook his head and slowly held Qin Shoucheng's body in his arms.
Move forward step by step.
"Princess, I think you already know Zeng's secret."
He held Qin Shoucheng in his arms and turned to look at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess's eyes met his.
There was a deep meaning in his eyes.
"My Lord, what secret do you think you know?"
Um?
Zeng Anmin raised his brows.
He didn't expect that the eldest princess had such a side to her.
"Haha, indeed, what secrets could I possibly have? Last night, during the battle with Mongoose Yana, it was thanks to the princess's divine power that she protected me."
Zeng Anmin looked at the princess seriously, his voice full of seriousness:
"I would like to thank the princess for saving my life."
…
The eldest princess was silent for a moment.
After a long time.
She looked at Zeng Anmin and nodded, a barely perceptible smile flashing in her eyes.
This is Zeng Anmin.
It's quite interesting.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Oh, right, Princess." Zeng Anmin, who was walking forward, slowly turned around, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes:
"Since Dean Qin sacrificed his life for his country and gave us this great gift, we must seize this military achievement."
The eldest princess followed behind Zeng Anmin.
When she heard this, she stopped abruptly.
Then, those eyes like autumn water suddenly revealed a sharp gleam.
"You mean..."
Her voice was thoughtful.
Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows, and a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"It seems the princess has thought of it too."
"That's right. After we return, gather five thousand Yuanyang soldiers and sweep through the Baideng Mountains! Completely complete the military exploits that Ji Qing and his men failed to achieve seven years ago!"
"Since Bixuan is dead, the remaining Bixuan remnants can't cause any trouble."
"In this battle, we will lead 5,000 Yuanyang troops and completely crush the remaining Bixuan forces with the force of thunder!"
"Capture the entire Baidengshan section of the southern Ten Thousand Demons Mountains."
"After this battle, there will be no more Bixuan tribe in the world."
"And this Baideng Mountain will also be taken by our Great Saint Dynasty!"
"No matter whether it's the past or present dynasties, the kings and generals of all generations have been able to do this, but we two have set a precedent!"
"Use the might of the Mandarin Duck Army to capture Mount Baideng."
"In this way, our Great Saint Dynasty can use Mount Baideng as a pass to clamp down on the demon race's Wan Yao Mountain."
"We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat!"
"After this battle, the battle situation between our human race and the demon race in the mountains..."
Zeng Anmin stared straight at the eldest princess in front of him.
"That's the real...offense and defense transformation!!"
His voice was not loud.
But to the eldest princess, it sounded like a sharp arrow piercing through the fog.
Bring out all the passion in her heart.
Her body even trembled a little.
"Capture the Baideng Mountains..."
Her silver teeth even trembled a little.
This is a feat that no one has been able to accomplish in the past few thousand years or even tens of thousands of years!
"This is a feat that will benefit humanity for thousands of years!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The eldest princess' heart was beating uncontrollably.
She pursed her lips tightly.
Those eyes sparkled with a strange brilliance.
She looked at Zeng Anmin.
She couldn't figure it out either.
Why is this guy so young but has such crazy ideas!
"Our army..."
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, and there was still a hint of hesitation in her voice.
"Two questions."
"First, the location agreed upon with the Duke of Wei for the supply of our army's rations cannot be easily changed."
"This also means that once our army completely enters the Baideng Mountains, we will lose our military rations."
"Second, Bixuan is already dead."
"But Bixuan's remaining lair still has at least 50,000 demon soldiers..."
"We only have five thousand."
It's obvious.
Five thousand against fifty thousand...
There is no military ration supply yet.
“So, we have to fight a blitzkrieg.”
Zeng Anmin walked forward, a hint of calmness in his voice.
There is a subtle calmness hidden within the crazy appearance.
“If you don’t have supplies, then don’t have supplies.”
"Fight to support the war."
Zeng Anmin looked towards the messy corpses of the demons on the mountain path.
"If you attack a small tribe, you will rob a small tribe."
"If you can't snatch it, then kill the monster and boil it!"
"As for five thousand versus fifty thousand..."
Zeng Anmin's mouth widened into a grin.
He winked at the princess:
"You've rested all night... your injuries should be almost healed, right?"
"After all, Bixuan is already dead."
