Chapter 42: The Second Elder Appears



Lin Zewu was able to vent his anger, but the rebels were completely powerless to resist.

Although the rebel leader had been trying hard to command the troops and take effective countermeasures, psychic bullets were absolutely restrained to the soldiers.

Forced to retreat, the rebels had no choice but to retreat, and as for the innocent civilians, they were simply abandoned in the ambush circle.

Those poor people had just experienced displacement, and now they were frightened to their knees by the gunshots coming from all directions.

They didn't know who was ambushing them, but they knew they had been abandoned. Even the powerful soldiers had to flee when they encountered these ambushes. You can imagine what would happen to them.

Everyone's face was pale, and they were desperate. They thought they were definitely dead this time. Unexpectedly, the deafening sound around them suddenly stopped.

Then, they heard the voice of a young man. The man's voice must have been accompanied by spiritual power, so everyone could hear it clearly.

"Fellow villagers, we have driven away the rebels! You should all run for your lives. Don't worry about the rebels. They won't be able to stay for long. His Highness the Lord will definitely bring them to justice!"

The man's words were clear and brightened the dark hearts of the people. Wouldn't those people kill them? They were saved! ?

"That's great! Woohoo, Grandpa, we don't have to die."

"Ancestors bless us! We are saved!"

A group of people hugged each other, crying breathlessly, but their eyes were full of joy.

At this moment, the garrison troops of Saxi State, far away from here, were still on their way. The only carriage in the team was Xia Changan's. She had just witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Alas, the intrigues among the top leaders will ultimately make the people at the bottom suffer. We must act quickly. We can't let Zhao He continue to harm Da Xia." Xia Changan thought secretly in his heart.

In the evening, they finally arrived at Chuhe City.

In order to save time, the garrison troops in Saxi State even skipped the time for rest and recuperation. Under the command of Lin Zewu, the soldiers directly launched an offensive.

Lin Zewu calmly commanded: "Battle formation team, psychic martial arts team, get ready! Use all your strength to smash Chu Hecheng's turtle shell!"

"yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their momentum was overwhelming. They marched out in formation, and the morale they exuded was enough to scare off many small soldiers and generals.

The soldiers who were responsible for guarding Chuhe City were all regular soldiers of Daxia, and their combat power was naturally not to be underestimated. However, the soldiers stationed in the city were just some incompetent rebels.

Although the rebels had killed the governor of Yunli Prefecture, they still could not command the garrison. Therefore, they had to garrison Chuhe City with this motley crowd.

With almost no effort, Lin Zewu led his army to break through the gate of Chuhe City. Just as the two armies were fighting fiercely and the garrison of Saxi State was about to win a great victory, an unknown force suddenly rushed in from outside the city.

The enemy was not yet defeated, so Lin Zewu and others did not dare to be negligent. They could only work hard to eliminate all the rebels as soon as possible and control Chuhe City before that army arrived.

The troops stationed in Saxi Prefecture were all brave and good at fighting, and they quickly took control of the situation. The control of Chuhe City was officially changed.

At this time, the troops also rushed to the city gate.

Qi He immediately shouted, "Stop! I am Qi He, the governor of Saxi Province. Who are you? Tell me your name quickly!"

Hearing Qi He's question, the army immediately split in the middle, and an old man who looked a little haggard rushed out from the middle.

He said excitedly, "I am the second elder of the Imperial Elders Council, Yan Xi. May I ask if the one who is in charge of the city is Elder Jianing Xixi?"

After hearing what the man said, Lin Zewu, who was standing at the city gate, rushed out immediately and said in surprise: "Second Elder? It's really you! Why did you come to Chuhe City? How is Kyoto going?"

"Xiao Linzi! I guessed it was you! Is His Highness in the city? Take me to see His Highness quickly. Something big has happened to old man Yan Qing!" Yan Qi said anxiously.

"Follow me now!"

Under the guidance of Lin Zewu, Yan Xi finally met Xia Changan as he wished. The old man's eyes were red.

"Greetings, Your Highness! May Emperor Taizu bless you! I am relieved that Your Highness is safe. But the current situation is not optimistic." After Yan Xi's excitement, he became sad again.

"Zhao He has already controlled most of Da Xia's territory. The ministers who opposed him are either dead or missing. Those who are still alive are all his people. In addition, Zhao He has united with many wealthy families, so even if the garrisons in various places are still struggling, it is difficult to cause actual damage to him."

Xia Changan didn't feel much when listening to Yan Qi's words.

Zhao He is the richest man in Daxia. It is not surprising that he has some strong men under his command. Although the Zhao family is not as powerful as the entire Daxia, if they get help from other chaebols, they are not powerless.

Moreover, now that the emperor had died suddenly, Daxia was in chaos from top to bottom. Zhao He could easily gain the upper hand by stirring up trouble.

All we can say is that the little emperor was too incompetent and was easily manipulated by Zhao He.

However, Yan Xi had not finished speaking.

"Your Highness, Great Elder Yan Qing fought hard to save the Imperial Seal after His Majesty's death. But he was unfortunately captured by Zhao He. The Great Elder is in danger now, and we must find a way to rescue him. If Your Highness can get the Imperial Seal, then he can mobilize the garrisons in various places. In this way, the good days of those rebels will be over! When I left Kyoto, I brought all the garrisons in Kyoto with me. As long as Your Highness gives the order, 300,000 elite troops can be dispatched by Your Highness."

Yan Qi looked at Xia Changan with hope. His Highness was now the hope of all of them. Whether Daxia could survive this disaster depended on His Highness.

Xia Changan endured the goose bumps that kept appearing on his body, and said indifferently: "I know. Please leave."

Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise. Knowing? And then? That's it! It's hard to guess what Her Highness is thinking. He said that he couldn't keep up with her pace.

Lin Zewu pulled Yan Xi out of Xia Changan's room.

After walking away, he patted Yan's shoulder and said, "Second Elder, His Highness has such a cold temper. You just have to get used to it. But don't worry. Whatever His Highness handles, he will definitely complete it beautifully. The matter of the First Elder is settled!"

In this regard, Yan Xi expressed shock.

Sure enough, not long after they left, they received messages from Xia Changan one after another.

【All soldiers, listen to my orders. The garrison of Sassi Province and the garrison of Kyoto will be temporarily merged and commanded by Marshal Lin Zewu. Use roundabout tactics, bypass those big cities that are difficult to attack, take the small roads directly, and rush to Kyoto as quickly as possible. As for the rescue of the Great Elder, I will be responsible for it myself.】
