Romance of Gods

Chapter 54 The Dragon Crosses
Chen Yan calmed down and sorted out the newly acquired memory.

His current identity is a low-level officer "Chief of Ten" in the Yue Family Army, affiliated with the Beiwei Army establishment.

In 1140, Yue Fei made his fourth Northern Expedition and achieved repeated victories.

On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Yue Fei once again defeated the Jin army at Wulitian in the north of Lincheng, which was known as the Great Victory of Lincheng in history.

After the defeat, Jin Wushu, the chief general of the Jin army, mobilized 12 troops to station in Linying County.

On the [-]th, Yue Fei's general Yang Zaixing led his troops out for inspection and encountered a large number of Jin troops at Xiaoshangqiao in the south of Linying County.

Yang Zaixing led his troops to fight desperately, defeating the majority with less, and killed more than [-] Jin soldiers in one battle with [-] soldiers.

Historical records record that in this battle, Yang Zaixing's entire army was destroyed.

But now, four people survived, including himself and the three sergeants.

In his memory, Chen Yan led these three men and charged all the way out, hoping to return to the camp to ask for help.

However, the Jin army pursued them closely, and the four of them fought and retreated until they reached the wilderness mountains, and then barely escaped the enemy's pursuit.

At that time, several people were seriously injured and had no energy left, so they found the City God's Temple to rest and recuperate temporarily.

The subsequent memory was interrupted by fainting.

"Sleep, much better."

Chen Yan turned over and sat up straight, smiling in response to the three people's gazes.

"Let me see!"

Liu Sandi held Chen Yan's shoulder with one hand, leaned back and removed the blood-soaked bandage on his back.

When he saw the smooth skin under the rotten herbs, he screamed immediately.

"Okay! It's great! Oh my god, there's not even a scar left on the Captain's back!"

"Let me see!"

Feng Shanshui put his head over in disbelief, "Ah!" He screamed strangely and squatted on the ground.

"It's the City God who has appeared! We want our ten husbands to live longer, so we should not die, so the City God is here to help!"

Su Wuchou was even more excited, "You don't say that strange powers can confuse gods, but today I have to believe in this god for once!"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the tattered clay statue.

Looking at the three people with different personalities, they all showed sincere concern for themselves.

The sense of alienation he felt when he first entered a strange era was gradually erased, and Chen Yan quickly became more at ease.

He smiled and said, "When you said that, I remembered that the City God gave me a dream just now. The feelings are real."

Feng Shanshui clasped his palms together and said, "Great, we are really looking forward to your early recovery day and night!"

Su Wuchou stared at him, frowned and said, "You just don't mean what you say. Didn't you say that we were going to break up day and night?"

"You're such a mean scholar, you're just trying to expose the poor, aren't you?"

Feng Shanshui stood up and grabbed Su Wuchou's head, furious.

"That's because we don't want to stay in this small temple and want to go down the mountain early to kill those barbarians!"

"Okay! You two!"

Liu Sandi sighed, scolded softly, looked at Chen Yan, and asked.

"Captain Ten, you are awake now. Please give me your order on where to go." Hearing this, Su and Feng, who were fighting, stopped and looked at Chen Yan in unison.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and asked, "What day is it today?"

Liu Sandi smiled innocently and said: "We were all seriously injured a few days ago. We have been feeling dizzy all day long. We don't know which day it is."

Su Wuchou nodded in shame, "Me too."

"Well, at the critical moment, the poor Taoist can still handle some things." Feng Shanshui smiled proudly, and then gave Chen Yan a fist, "In reply to the captain, we have been delayed in this temple for a long time. In recent days, we have become more and more aware of this. The yin energy is strong all around, I think it’s almost the Hungry Ghost Festival. Today is either the [-]th or the [-]th.”

It's been almost a month... Although Chen Yan rarely reads, due to his personal hobbies, he is quite familiar with chivalrous stories and supernatural novels from the past and present.

If he remembered correctly, shortly after Yue Fei led his army to Zhuxian Town, Jin Wushu abandoned Kaifeng and prepared to retreat north. In early July, eighteen gold medals were issued from Lin'an. On the [-]th, Yue Fei began to return to the court with his troops.

Those who are involved in personal events must return to the Yuejiajun garrison within a time limit. Subsequent romance events may be related to Yue Fei.

"What is this place?"

"Captain Ten, don't you remember? After the battle at Xiaoshangqiao, we originally wanted to go back to bring reinforcements, but the group of barbarians kept chasing us, but we had no choice but to go in the opposite direction and head south. We are now reaching Leshan."

Feng Shanshui gave a bitter smile and said slowly: "This Leshan was also called Langling Mountain and Langshan in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has been a famous Taoist mountain since ancient times. We used to become a monk in the Yuxu Palace on this mountain... but for more than ten years, the cavalry trampled , this place is also dilapidated.”

Chen Yan nodded and stood up, "Let's go back to camp."

Leshan goes straight to the north and is about 500 miles away from Zhuxian Town. If you travel day and night, you should be able to get there in three days.

Liu and Su were overjoyed when they heard Chen Yan's order, while Feng Shanshui's eyes flashed with worry.

"Captain ten, wear armor!"

Liu Sandi picked up the armor tied with hemp rope and came over. Chen Yan took a look at it and saw that the Song armor was in disarray.

Mainly a piece of black iron breastplate, hemp rope like a spider web, more or less broken armor pieces, like groups of moths stuck in the web, scattered irregularly.

The biggest moth was also caught in the net. Chen Yan put on his armour, looked at the red world outside the temple gate, his eyes were like torches, and said in a deep voice: "Go down the mountain."

Su Wuchou sighed with emotion, "I can finally leave this hellish place."

Liu Sandi sneered, "Here we go, kill the thief!"

Chen Yan stepped over the high threshold of the temple, and the hot summer wind rushed towards him carrying the thick smell of blood.

Looking up, I don't know who knocked over the inkstone for painting. Layers of large clouds are like cotton soaked in blood, sticking to the dark blue night sky.

The mountains and fields were stained with blood red, and what surprised him even more was that above the clouds, there was a huge black shadow that stretched from north to south and could not be seen to the end.

Suddenly, there were several booms and thunders from the sky, and the ground shook. In the blink of an eye, the huge black shadow broke off in the air, and the fragments looked like rocks blown apart by explosives.

"It's over...it's over. This Northern Expedition will probably fall short!"

Feng Shanshui then walked out and saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, with even more worry in his eyes.

Liu Sandi angrily scolded: "You old man, what more depressing words can you say!"

"People can lie, but this celestial phenomenon can't. Didn't you see? The dragon vein of our Song Dynasty has been completely broken and split into two. I am afraid that we will shrink to the south of the Yangtze River from now on..."

Su Wuchou shook his head, "It seems that Zi Buyu's strange power is justified. Marshal Yue's Northern Expedition is going very well. If nothing else happens, he has already captured Jin Wushu's head during this time. You are here to shake the morale of the army." , be careful of military law handling in the future!"

Dragon veins are tangible.

Chen Yan thought that his guess was good, it was another timeline.

He withdrew his gaze and led the three of them down the mountain, opening the God's Treasury on the way.
