Xu Yuehuai stood on high ground, her gaze fixed firmly on the battlefield. Her heart was filled with worry and anticipation…
On a scorching summer day, Qi Guze led Yan Qing and other guards into the battle.
Their arrival brought new hope to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The Eastern Sang Kingdom army before them was like a pack of wolves besieging the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Qi Guze's appearance was undoubtedly a ray of light illuminating the hearts of the soldiers.
"Kill them—!" Qi Guze gave the order, and Yan Qing and the other guards drew their long swords and charged towards the Dongsang Kingdom's army.
Their swordsmanship was sharp and their momentum was overwhelming, forcing many of the Dongsang Kingdom's troops to retreat.
While resisting the people of Dongsang, Qi Guze came to the Ghost Doctor and Bai Yu.
His gaze was piercing as he stared directly at the two men, demanding, "Didn't we agree that I would go find Bai Yu? How did you two collude to attack our Great Zhou Kingdom?"
Neither the Ghost Doctor nor Bai Yu responded; their eyes flickered, clearly indicating that they too were filled with conflicting emotions.
They were supposed to join forces for a certain purpose, but the situation has completely spiraled out of control.
Qi Guze's heart sank. He knew time was of the essence and he couldn't give the people of Dongsang any chance to catch their breath. He brandished his sword and charged into the enemy ranks once more. Wherever his sword struck, Dongsang soldiers fell one after another.
His guards followed closely behind, and a fierce battle ensued.
Bai Yu watched Qi Guze's figure, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Originally, their personal grudges and grievances should have been settled at this moment, but with the country in crisis, personal grudges and grievances had to be put aside for the time being.
He gripped his longsword tightly, took a deep breath, and threw himself back into the battle.
The Ghost Doctor's expression also turned serious. The battle had reached its most critical moment, and he had to make a decision.
The battle reached its climax, with soldiers on both sides fighting with all their might. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the clash of swords created a gruesome scene.
Qi Guze, Bai Yu, and the Ghost Doctor moved through the battlefield, attacking soldiers from the opposing country.
As time went on, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom gradually gained the upper hand. The offensive of the Eastern Sang Kingdom army was halted, and they began to show signs of defeat.
The moment the army of Dongsang Kingdom was in trouble, Ghost Doctor Bai Yu instantly sensed that something was wrong.
His sharp gaze swept across the battlefield, taking in the soldiers' exhaustion, broken weapons, and low morale. He knew that without immediate action, the entire army could face annihilation.
Bai Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anxiety.
He waved his hand, the movement resolute and powerful. This simple gesture, however, acted like a command, quickly conveying its message to the surrounding soldiers.
Despite their exhaustion, they maintained strict discipline and immediately began an orderly retreat upon receiving orders.
Meanwhile, Qi Guze sat high on his warhorse, overlooking the entire battlefield.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through all illusions. Seeing the Dongsang army begin to retreat, he did not give the order to pursue, but observed quietly.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom were puzzled. They looked at Qi Guze with confusion, not understanding why he would let go of such a great opportunity.
But Qi Guze's authority and composure prevented them from asking any questions. They simply carried out the orders silently, helping their wounded comrade back to the border town.
Xu Yuehuai frowned and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What exactly happened? Why did they suddenly start a war with our Great Zhou Kingdom?"
Qi Guze looked at her anxious face and sighed inwardly.
He understood that there were definitely more complex factors at play behind this war.
Qi Guze said in a deep voice, "Perhaps they were threatened, but they didn't intend to kill me." His voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was not at peace.
Xu Yuehuai was stunned; she hadn't expected such an answer.
She looked at Qi Guze and noticed a deep worry in his eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "So what should we do next?"
Qi Guze did not answer immediately. He remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked firmly into the distance.
He knew that this war was only the beginning, and greater challenges lay ahead. He had to be prepared to lead the soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom to face the crisis to come.
During the retreat of the Dongsang Kingdom's army, Bai Yu kept observing Qi Guze's reaction.
He witnessed Qi Guze's calmness and wisdom, as well as his care and concern for the soldiers. This filled him with respect and curiosity for Qi Guze.
Bai Yu thought to himself that this Qi Guze was definitely not a simple character.
His wisdom and courage are admirable, and this is exactly the kind of leader the Eastern Sang Kingdom needs.
Bai Yu decided that if he had the chance, he would definitely have a good talk with Qi Guze.
In the border town's camp, Xu Yuehuai and the other soldiers surrounded Qi Guze, awaiting his orders.
Qi Guze took a deep breath. He knew he had to make the right decision to ensure the safety of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Looking into the soldiers' expectant eyes, a surge of pride welled up within him. He knew his responsibility was immense, but he also knew he had a group of loyal and brave soldiers to protect, and he had to ensure the safety of all of them.
Qi Guze said, "We need to strengthen our defenses and be constantly vigilant about the enemy's movements."
His words were full of power and determination, inspiring everyone present with an invisible force.
As Xu Yuehuai watched Qi Guze's retreating figure, many of her doubts and worries instantly dissipated.
She understood what she needed to do next, and her trust and support for Qi Guze became even stronger.
As night falls, the border town becomes even quieter and more peaceful. But beneath this tranquility, a greater crisis and challenge lurk.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were resting inside the house when suddenly, a muffled thud came from outside the window, and a figure jumped in through the window and fell to the ground.
Qi Guze reacted the fastest, immediately drawing the long sword hanging on the wall and pointing it warily at the person on the ground: "Who is it?"
The man looked up, a smile on his face: "It's me!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were both stunned; it was clearly the voice of the Ghost Doctor.
Qi Guze's sword was still pressed against the Ghost Doctor's neck, his expression unfriendly: "What exactly are you up to with the people of Dongsang Kingdom? Why are we suddenly at war?"
He hadn't received any prior notice.
The Ghost Doctor, with a sword stuck in his neck, didn't seem to care, remaining calm: "I was forced into this by that brat Bei Ye."
Xu Yuehua frowned: "What exactly is going on?"
The Ghost Doctor didn't rush to answer. He stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off his body.
