Chapter 185 Jinxiuhe Mountain

The territory of the Chen Kingdom was not vast, and it was probably only the three continents of Great Zhou, not to mention Great Xia, which was located in the north.

But even in a tiny place like the Exquisite Pavilion, there were still people who fought to the death, let alone the Chen Kingdom?

Chen Tingzhu was about to die.

The monarch who had been a hero for the first half of his life and indulged in wine for the second half of his life had finally reached the end of his life.

The death of the lion was naturally something to be regretted.

However, the cubs did not have the slightest bit of time to grieve for it. They had already planned to sharpen their knives and prepare to take over the throne that symbolized supreme power.

As soon as the lion swallowed its breath, the cubs would eat his body with their sharp claws.

Cruelty and desolation were the portraits of almost every emperor's later years.

Chen Xuanji never thought that he would become one of these cubs, but he still came.

As Empress Meng Yu's only son and the seventh prince of the Chen Kingdom, he brought the 100,000 Tiger Wolf Cavalry in the hands of King Ping Xi back to the capital of the Chen Kingdom, Jinling, aggressively!

Throughout Jinling, winds and clouds rose. The princes who were still trying to rope in King Pingxi were all dumbfounded. The Meng Clan had transformed from a hot item that everyone was competing for into their strongest competitor.

This kind of change caused everyone to panic, and undercurrents surged in Jinling City for a moment.

…

"How are you going to snoop around?" In the Pingxi Palace, the middle-aged man with a resolute expression and a sword-browed star was sitting high in the middle of the main hall in a blue brocade robe. Meng Liang, who was dressed in a black robe beside him, was sitting opposite Chen Xuanji, who was dressed in white and white hair.

A man in armor bowed and said.

"Apart from the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, the other nine princes have no intention of participating in this matter. However, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are secretly supported by the various marquises. Especially the Crown Prince, there seems to be some help from the Great Xia Dynasty. As for the Fourth Prince …"

"What? Is there something you can't tell me?" Monk, who was dressed in a blue brocade robe, raised his eyebrows and asked in displeasure.

"No, Your Highness has misunderstood." The man hurriedly said, "There are only a few officials behind the Fourth Prince, but the power he can mobilize is indeed the number one among the princes. And the biggest supporter behind him seems to be a Jianghu force."

"Jianghu power? My Da Chen's biggest sect is my sect, the Mount Li Sword Sect. I still don't dare to say that I can participate in the imperial power struggle. Where did such a capable colossus come from?" Hearing this, Meng Liang frowned. Obviously, he was very suspicious of the man's words.

"It seems that the Jianghu faction is not from the Chen Kingdom, but from the Great Zhou Kingdom." The man said respectfully.

"Great Zhou?" Meng Liang frowned. During his trip to Great Zhou, he had seen all the sects of Great Zhou. To say that they were called the first sects was indeed magnificent and much stronger than Mount Li Sword Sect. However, it was unrealistic to say that Linglong Pavilion could participate in the competition for the Chen Kingdom's inheritance.

"Dark Asura Palace." However, just as Meng Liang was secretly puzzled, Chen Xuanji, who was silent by the side, suddenly spat out these three words.

"How does His Highness know?" The half-kneeling man was stunned when he heard this and looked at Chen Xuanji in surprise.

"Dark Asura Palace? What kind of place is it?" Monk frowned on the high platform. He didn't know much about the Dark Asura Palace that had suddenly appeared.

"A similar intelligence and assassin organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty has suddenly expanded in recent years. Black and white are all eaten together, and they are intertwined in the various prefectures and counties of the Zhou Dynasty. It seems that they still have quite a few connections with the Longevity Division." Chen Xuanji said at that time, but he didn't know much about that mysterious organization.

Hearing this, Meng Liang's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that the purple-eyed girl beside his cheap master seemed to be someone in charge of the Dark Asura Palace. He was about to say something when Monk waved his hand.

"Hmph, whether it's the Long Night Division or the Dark Asura Palace, I, the Tiger Wolf, am able to break through Li Yulin's dreams of expanding the territory, and I am also able to slay the mysteries of the Demon Charm Demon." At that time, the Pingxi King, who had been in the Chen Kingdom for many years, trembled and a vast and domineering aura surged out, causing Meng Liang, who still wanted to speak, to subconsciously shut up.

There was a sudden silence in the Pingxi Palace. Only the white-robed and white-haired Chen Xuanji glanced at the man on the high platform.

Munch's aura had long surpassed that of an ordinary Great Evolution Realm martial artist. Was this mere King Pingxi really enough to satisfy his uncle's ambitions?

He thought to himself, his heart sinking, but his face remained calm.

…

Chengding Town was located behind Big Yellow City, within a hundred miles of Big Yellow City.

This place was not considered prosperous, and Chengding Town was only one of the most inconspicuous places in Liangzhou, which was densely populated by Gaocheng Town.

But tonight, Chengding Town was exceptionally lively.

On the flat ground outside the small town, the campfire was flourishing, driving away the night. It was densely packed like a barracks that could not be seen. The sound of the soldiers' armor colliding was loud, and the saber halberd in their hands was dazzling.

The people of Chengding Town, who had never seen such a scene before, were unable to fall asleep tonight.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who couldn't fall asleep.

Xu Han, who was dressed in grey, held Xuan'er and strolled outside the barracks.

As the fresh energy from the new arrival passed, the sleepy black cat that had been in the wild for half a day surged up and lay quietly in Xu Han's embrace. It narrowed its eyes and fell asleep. It could not help but let out a "gulp" sound from its throat. Xuan'er seemed to like making such noises when she was asleep, but Xu Han didn't know if it was the same for all cats in the world, or if it was just his Xuan'er family.

It had already been 17 days since they came out of Chang'an. On these 17 days, they had walked a total of 17 cities. The army in their hands had transformed from 700 Tian Ce Mansion armies into the vast army of 30,000 in front of them. The grain they had obtained was also extremely abundant.

Of course, compared to the number of enemies that Big Yellow City was about to face, the thirty thousand troops were still a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention…

Thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but turn to look at the tent.

Compared to the Tian Ce Prefecture Army, which was at least at the Three Elements Realm, the thirty thousand people who had crammed together at the last moment were a bit flattering to the thirty thousand soldiers who had been snatched from various towns and cities by the crooked melon and split jujube.

Most of their cultivation was only at the initial Aquarius or Pill Sun Realm. Xu Han did not know whether their horizons were too high or whether ordinary soldiers were at such a cultivation level. However, to tell the truth, these 30,000 people did not satisfy Xu Han.

Although he did not understand the march to war, he understood that the most important thing in marching was to order and prohibit them.

However, these 30,000 people clearly did not have such awareness. In fact, there were even incidents of escaping for a few days.

Thinking of this, Xu Han's eyebrows sank, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This action accidentally alerted the sleeping black cat in his arms. At that time, the little fellow widened its amber eyes and looked straight at Xu Han. It seemed to be wondering what was bothering him so much. However, its little head could not understand these things. It could only lightly jump onto Xu Han's shoulder and use its head to constantly rub Xu Han's neck to comfort him.

"Alright, it's fine." Xu Han was tickled by it, so he quickly smiled and comforted.

"I heard that Mu Ji has brought 300,000 troops to Big Yellow City. It looks like we have to leave for Big Yellow City tomorrow." At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Xu Han was stunned. He turned around and saw Zhou Zhang in white standing behind him.

"Brother Zhou hasn't slept yet?" Xu Han asked.

"I can't sleep!" Zhou Zhang slowly walked to Xu Han's side and glanced at the tent where the thirty thousand soldiers were gathered. "How can I sleep?"

Xu Han noticed the heavy tone in Zhou Zhang's voice and nodded lightly. "I heard that Mu Ji's action was to avenge the annihilation of the Mu Clan back then. It seems that he has already said that as long as Zhu Xian and the Emperor are alive…"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhang glanced sideways at Xu Han. It was as if he had seen something extremely interesting. He blinked his eyes and a smile appeared in his eyes. "Brother Xu, are you testing me?"

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. "It can't be considered probing. I'm just curious. Don't tell me Brother Zhou doesn't hate Zhu Xian and that other one?"

These words seemed to reveal a lot of things.

Zhou Zhang knew that he couldn't hide anything from Xu Han, so he didn't explain much. He only smiled valiantly and said, "How can the pain of extermination not be hated?"

"Then Brother Zhou still wants to defend Big Yellow City with us?" Xu Han was puzzled.

The smile on Zhou Zhang's face became even more intense. "Brother Xu thought that the Xia army outside Big Yellow City and the rebels of the Northern Region King numbered 700,000. Why did they only have 300,000 soldiers under them?"

Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head.

"Everyone in the world knows that once Big Yellow City is broken, Great Zhou will be in danger, but all the vassal kings and prefectures will not send their troops? Zhu Xian is still sitting high in Chang'an, and he is not in a hurry?"

Zhou Zhang asked again.

Naturally, Xu Han could only shake his head again.

"Zhu Xianneng has been in charge of the government and the public for so many years. Apart from scheming and scheming, there is also his subordinate, the Longevity Division."

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned. Of course, he knew that Zhu Xian's Longevity Division was a colossus with only one hand covering the sky, but he didn't understand what this matter had to do with the danger of Big Yellow City.

"The Long Night Division is divided into four divisions: Greed, Azure Dragon, White Phoenix, and Green Fox."

"The four divisions perform their respective duties. Azurefox is the gathering place of the advisors of the Long Night Division. Amongst them, the Azurefox Division's Imperial Envoy, Xuan Luo, has a brilliant plan. According to legend, he once worshipped the Supreme True Man of the Lunar Temple."

"The White Phoenix Division is the intelligence agency of the Long Night Division. Although the White Phoenix Division's Imperial Envoy Ran Qingyi is a female, her background is extremely mysterious. There are few things in this world that can be concealed from her."

"As for the Greedy Wolf Division, presumably on the Dao Gathering GongSunMing brother xu must be deeply impressed. The Greedy Wolf Tribe that he was in charge of was no more than a thousand people, and it could be considered the one with the smallest number of people in the four Tribes, but it was also the one that the people of the world feared the most. On the surface, it was the investigating constable of the Long Night Division, but those who could not see anything were secretly acting from this division. Everyone in the division was one of the best assassins. "

"The last Azure Dragon Tribe" Zhou Zhang paused for a moment before saying again, "His Imperial Envoy, Xue Qinguan, has 250 thousand Azure Dragon Army in his hands. It can be said that the most elite troops of Great Zhou are no less than the Tiance Prefecture Army."

Hearing this, Xu Han frowned, as if he had figured something out.

"Zhu Xian mind is known to the world, the big yellow city Lin Shou is the last in the hands of the royal family can be considered obedient sword. Once Lin Shou died, all the vassal kings would surely depart from their hearts. At that time, Great Zhou's fate would collapse, so Zhu Xian's goal would naturally be achieved. At that time, he would transfer the Azure Dragon Army to take care of the Mu Clan Army that had fought Lin Shou to the death. One stone, three birds. How could he be in a panic if you put such a good plan there? "

"As for that Cui Dazhu, he has a lot of ambitions in his heart, but he is a good strategist. He doesn't dare to touch Lin Shou's stinky and hard rock. He thinks that driving Mu Ji to attack Big Yellow City is a good plan to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves, but he doesn't know that he has already fallen for Zhu Xian."

When Zhou Zhang said this, he let out another long sigh. "In the end, everyone in the world is waiting for that old general Lin to die …"

Hearing this, Xu Han looked at the faintly visible city. He had never met Lin Shousu, but an eighty-year-old general was standing on a lonely island surrounded by tigers and wolves with a hundred thousand troops. Just thinking about this scene made Xu Han feel depressed.

"So, I'm not helping him, Zhu Dashou, nor his Yuwen Clan's emperor."

"What I want to help is Big Yellow City. The Lin Shou in Upper Big Yellow City is a million living beings behind Lin Shou."

"It's the embroidered rivers and mountains that my Mu Clan has guarded for generations …"
