Volume 1 Chapter 300 Disobeying the Order
Along the way, Xiang Yun suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud. A huge stone fell from his heart. He finally uncovered the terrifying shadow of the Golden Cicada Sect and transferred it to the Golden Lotus Holy Mother. Even if the Golden Cicada Sect wanted to react and investigate thoroughly, it would take an unknown amount of time.
Now that we are in the period of the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War, this kind of thing has happened again. The Jinchan Sect will definitely not have the experience to care about the Dayun Empire again. Xiang Yun just felt relaxed, and even his breathing became much smoother.
The next step is to sort out the affairs of the Dayun Empire, separate the Dayun Empire from the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War, and break away from the rules set by the eight major sects.
Longxi Pass has been experiencing heavy rains in recent days, and it has been raining intermittently for seven days. The sky has been covered with dark clouds and the sun is not visible.
Under the dark clouds, artillery fire continued. A new batch of shells had been escorted in. Jiang Fei immediately used these shells to allow the Big Sun Cannon to unleash its terrifying power.
In the past few days, he led his men to guard the city or go out of the city to meet the enemy. Even the gate of Longquan Pass was breached by the enemy army of Baiwu Kingdom four times. However, every time he organized the Huoyun Army to charge forward and fought bloody battles, driving the army of Baiwu Kingdom out of the pass again.
Such a tough, bloody and long battle, not to mention the Fire Cloud Army soldiers, even Jiang Fei himself had become blood-thirsty; those soldiers could take turns to fight and rest, but Jiang Fei was different. Since arriving at the border, he would personally attend every war to control the overall situation or lead his troops to the battlefield to fight with the White Mist Country soldiers.
After working hard for a long time, Jiang Fei felt a little weak when walking. After all, his body was no longer that of a 17 or 18-year-old young man, but that of a 59-year-old old man!
In the successive battles, Jiang Fei was unable to do what he wanted several times and nearly lost his life. Fortunately, he was rescued every time by the fearless brothers of the Fire Cloud Army.
"Fire! Don't worry about the shells, fire at full force for this general!" Jiang Fei roared with all his might on the city wall, wishing he could fire all the shells in Longxi Pass at once.
If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't take it anymore and his back and waist were really sore, Jiang Fei would definitely lead his troops to charge out again and fight a life-and-death battle with the Baiwu Kingdom's army.
At this moment, a lieutenant general came running over to report: "General, the court has an order!"
Jiang Fei didn't even look at him when he heard this. He just waved his hand and said, "Don't you see that we are fighting now? Let's talk about it after the attacking troops of Baiwu Country retreat!"
The lieutenant general was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage to say, "General, the messenger said it was an urgent military situation, and the emperor ordered that the general should immediately follow the contents of the imperial edict and must not disobey."
Jiang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and frowned as he looked at the battle situation under the city wall. It would be difficult for the Baiwu Kingdom's army to attack immediately. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Fei waved his hand and turned to walk towards the city wall.
Marshal's Tent
"Bang!" Jiang Fei angrily slammed the table and shouted, "Impossible. This general has been fighting at Longxi Pass with 10 million Huoyun troops for nearly a month. We have defended the city ten times and attacked the city fifteen times. As many as 300,000 soldiers have died. Now you want this general to abandon the pass and withdraw the troops. This is absolutely impossible!"
Upon hearing this, the young general who was delivering the imperial edict shouted, "General Protector of the Nation, are you planning to disobey my order?"
Jiang Fei's expression turned cold when he heard that, and he stared at the man coldly. The murderous aura on his body immediately frightened the young general so much that he took several steps back.
The next moment, Jiang Fei said in a cold voice: "The general is away from home and is not subject to military orders. Just go back and tell His Majesty that Jiang Fei swears to fight the enemy to the death. With me here, the Baiwu Kingdom army will never set foot on the territory of the Dayun Empire!"
The young general was furious when he heard this. He pointed at Jiang Fei and cursed: "How dare you disobey the order? Do you know that this imperial decree was issued by His Majesty himself? Are you trying to rebel?"
"Come here, take him out!" Jiang Fei gave the order in a cold voice, then threw down the imperial edict and ran to the city wall of Longxi Pass again to supervise the battle.
The first thing Xiang Yun did when he returned to the Dayun Empire was to go to the Golden Palace to find Shen Tu Jian. He was smiling and preparing to thank Shen Tu Jian. After all, he was angry with Shen Tu Jian for the livelihood of the Dayun Empire. He was afraid that the plan would be disrupted, so he was in a hurry.
Now that I have calmed down, I can't help but feel extremely grateful to Shentu Jian, and the guilt I feel is even deeper.
But at this moment, Shen Tu Jian, who was sleeping in the hall, didn't even open his eyes, and yelled, "Get lost!"
Xiang Yun's face froze, but the next moment he seemed fine. He then walked over with a smile, grabbed Shen Tu Jian's hand, held it tightly, and said earnestly, "Senior, I know I was wrong. It was my fault that day. I didn't know your good intentions. Today I am here to apologize to you. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Don't worry, I am an old man who meddles in other people's business and cannot accept such a great gift from you. Who are you? You are the emperor of Dayun Empire, and I am just a beggar." Shen Tu Jian immediately said sarcastically, "Also, if you don't let go of my hand, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiang Yun was not willing to let go, and immediately held on tighter, still smiling playfully, "Senior, how can you say that about yourself? Besides, no matter how high my status is, I am still your junior, and I should respect you!"
At this moment, Shen Tu Jian suddenly burst out a burst of energy in his body, which actually forcibly shook Xiang Yun's hands apart. Then he raised his hand and grabbed Xiang Yun's arm and twisted it, causing Xiang Yun to turn his back out of habit.
Shen Tu Jian seized the opportunity and kicked Xiang Yun on the butt, sending him flying.
After landing, Xiang Yun was so ashamed and angry, but he couldn't get angry with Shen Tu Jian anymore, so he didn't get up from the ground, and then covered his butt and shouted, "Good kick, as long as you calm down, I won't have any problem even if you kick my butt to pieces."
Shen Tu Jian had had enough of Xiang Yun's shamelessness, so he snorted coldly, turned his back, and scolded: "Get out of the way, I'm annoyed when I see you now, don't let me see you again!"
Xiang Yun immediately asked with a smile: "So, Senior, you have forgiven me?"
Shen Tu Jian frowned upon hearing this, and just as he was about to open his mouth to curse again, he heard Xiang Yun immediately say, "Okay, okay, I'll leave now and won't disturb you from resting!"
Afterwards, Xiang Yun really ran away. Now that he had apologized and been beaten, if Shen Tu Jian got angry again, it would not be like the broad-mindedness of a senior.
Xiang Yun had just run out for a short distance when Little Guazi, who had received the news of the emperor's return, hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War has an urgent matter to report. He has come to the capital to ask six times in the past few days."
Xiang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately gave up the idea of playing, knowing that he should do his business.
"Send the Minister of War to the Imperial Study for an audience!"
In the imperial study, Zhao Yuanxi, the Minister of War, knelt respectfully on the ground, waiting for Xiang Yun to speak. Xiang Yun angrily slammed the jade table and shouted, "What does Jiang Fei want to do? He actually dared to disobey the emperor. With 10 million soldiers in his hands, he doesn't take me, the emperor, seriously, right?"
Zhao Yuanxi heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty's mood is very likely because the battle at Longxi Pass is urgent and they are fighting a desperate battle with the enemy. If we withdraw our troops rashly at this time, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable. The general who protects the country is afraid of causing a mutiny and will be unable to control it, so..."
"Don't speak for him. It's not like I haven't fought a war before!" Xiang Yun said angrily, "It's just a withdrawal. Once my imperial edict arrives, even if you abandon the pass and flee immediately, and these millions of Huoyun soldiers are scattered like sand and become bandits, I don't care!
What I want now is a complete withdrawal of troops!"
Seeing Xiang Yun lose his temper, Zhao Yuanxi was too scared to say anything and waited silently. Soon Xiang Yun issued an order: "Go, deliver the imperial edict to me as fast as you can, and tell me that you must abandon the pass and withdraw your troops immediately, and return to the capital!
Tell Jiang Fei one more thing. I can tolerate it once, but not without limit! "
"I obey your order!" Zhao Yuanxi agreed immediately and left quickly.
Xiang Yun was really furious. As an envoy, Zhu Qiyu was almost at Longxi Pass. If the army at Longxi Pass did not retreat, how should he negotiate?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but curse again: "This bastard, neither of the two brothers can rest assured!"
