Chapter 218 Planning for trouble
"Mr. Liao, don't go too far!"

Wang Zhi's injuries had not yet healed. He suddenly drew his sword and said, "I gave you face, but you really think you are a big shot?!"

"How can you carry a black robe with you on such a fast march?"

Chen Sanshi said politely, "How about we go into the city and find the man in black?"

"Yeah, that's okay!"

Liao Fang seemed to be quite satisfied with his attitude. He took a sip of wine and suddenly an idea came to him. He pointed at the white horse beside the white robe and said, "Little Sanshi!
“A white robe with a white horse!

"Since you won't wear a white robe anymore, can you give me this horse?!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi paused, his face expressionless, and he spoke clearly, "You are drunk."

"Drunk? I'm not drunk!"

The more Liao Fang looked at the white horse, the more he liked it. He pointed at the white robe and said, "Sanshi boy! I saved the lives of more than 100,000 of you! How come you can't even give me a horse?!"

"Bah!"

At the same time he was speaking.

A figure looked around, quietly left the team while no one was paying attention, then hunched over and climbed up the city wall. Then, before the soldiers on the city wall could react, he suddenly accelerated, rushed to the front of the "white-clothed strategist" in three or two steps, grabbed the other's collar, and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Hey! How dare you insult my master in public!"

"Lao Zhu!"

Zhao Kang then noticed that Zhu Tong had disappeared, and he quickly stopped him: "He is a meritorious official, are you crazy?!"

"Fuck you, I don't care if he's a hero or not!"

Zhu Tong cursed everyone he saw and pressed Liao Fang's head against the city wall.

"W-who are you?!"

The frightened Liao Fang recovered. He lay on the city wall and looked at the person who attacked him. He couldn't help but get angry: "How dare you! Do you know that I will soon be the Duke of the Great Sheng Dynasty? You dare to disrespect me, it's a capital crime!"

"Bastard!"

Zhu Tong grabbed his hair and said, "Stop talking nonsense. In front of the brothers, kowtow to my master and apologize!"

"Get him quickly!"

Under the city wall, Tong Xiaochu hurriedly gave orders.

No matter what, this person is also a meritorious official. If they are disrespectful to him, who will dare to join them in the future?

Zhao Kang was already running madly.

He knew that this guy was probably not disrespectful.
This guy really has no brains.

Until now, Chen Sanshi is still called Shitou. It was because they tried their best to help change his name that he finally became an adult.

"Ouch!"

Liao Fang's martial arts level was low, so how could he withstand such force? He grimaced in pain, and became even more angry: "You bastard! Even your parents have to give me some leeway, how dare you talk to me like that?!

“I think you might as well not make me kneel down.

"You're brave enough to kill me?
"Do you dare, do you dare?!
"Hahaha……"

"Snapped--"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

In full view of everyone, a black shadow fell, and there was a "pop" sound like a watermelon bursting. Red and white objects flew everywhere, turning into a rain of blood and flesh that fell from the city wall and sprinkled on the armor of the soldiers outside the city gate.

I saw.

High on the city wall, the white-robed strategist Liao Fang... has lost his head!
There was only a black hammer hovering in front of the broken neck from which blood was gushing out.

Zhu Tong used a hammer to smash his head directly!
The whole place was dead silent.

"What a courage!"

Tong Xiaochu widened his eyes.

You know, Liao Fang's contributions have been reported, and the title of Marquis is basically a sure thing.

If he remembered correctly, this rough guy seemed to be just a captain in the Hongze Camp.

A captain of a thousand men killed the marquis and was also the great hero in recovering Mangshan!

It's not just that he doesn't want his own head, he wants to die with his family.

However, since they are from Hongze Camp, it is not his turn to take charge.

"Chen Shuai."

Tong Xiaochu clasped his fists and said, "How should we deal with this person?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi looked at the headless body, gently closed his eyes, and ordered: "Take him away and wait for your punishment."

"Yes!"

On the spot, someone went up and held Zhu Tong down and took him away.

A farce came to an end.

The army was able to enter the city.

"grown ups!"

Zhao Kang and others came to the central army tent and pleaded, "General Tong and the others said that Zhu Tong deserved death. Do you really want to kill him? Old Zhu is just stupid."

"Yeah yeah."

Xiong Qiuan echoed, "Besides, I love to tell the truth. So shouldn't Liao Fang die?"

"Wow!"

The big tent was opened, and Wang Zhi strode in and said, "I just went to Liao Fang's residence and found several women. He robbed them after entering the city this morning."

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi put down the military report in his hand and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

Wang Zhi said confidently: "I have brought the people to the military camp and can testify at any time! According to the rules of our Northern Liang Army, robbing a woman is also a capital crime! Zhu Tong is just executing her in advance."

"Yeah!"

The others quickly followed suit.

"After all, he is a marquis and a meritorious official. Even if he is killed, it is not his turn. Let's lock him up first and deal with him after we return to Liangzhou."

As soon as Chen Sanshi said this.

Several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's all get down."

Chen Sanshi waved his hand and drove them out of the tent.

The war is over.

According to the original arrangement.

He needs to wait here for the people from Shengyun Sect to take over Mangshan, and then he can return to Beiliang.

Xiqi and Luoye Valley were badly defeated.

I don’t know what will happen in Lingji Cave in Nanxu and Dongqing.

And my fourth senior brother Fang Qingyun in the capital should also be replying soon.

……

Daqing.

royal palace.

In Qinghe Hall, all officials made court reports.

"His Majesty!"

"Battle report from the front!"

"Chen Sanshi burned Wucheng in April, and then defeated the Xiqi army within 30 days, killing countless immortal masters. Now the cultivators of Xiqi and Luoye Valley have all retreated back to the territory."

"The Ministry of War believes that our border troops should be withdrawn back to the country first."

"Please make your decision, Your Majesty."

The performance is over.

The ministers bowed their heads, quietly waiting for the empress's reply.

However, no one knows.

Sitting on the dragon throne behind the golden-orange curtain was not the empress, but their eldest princess "Shen Xizhi".

"Shi Ge'er won again."

Gu Xinlan controlled her tone and imitated the way her sister spoke. The two sisters' voices were similar, but their auras were different. After deliberate imitation, they sounded almost identical.

"Retreat."

"..."

"Sir, obey the order!"

"Besides that, I have something else to ask you."

A military officer in a scarlet robe stepped forward and reported: "Although we did not engage in a large-scale war with the Sheng Dynasty during this border deployment, small-scale clashes occurred day and night.

“Both the enemy and us suffered losses.

“It is worth noting that Lü Ji from the Sheng Dynasty often slaughtered our troops to perform blood sacrifices and practice evil methods. This person is now almost a demon!
"If possible, I hope Your Majesty can send a few immortal masters to find an opportunity to behead him. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Lu Ji?

Gu Xinlan took note of it in her heart and prepared to turn around to tell her sister and Shi Ge'er. She winked at the female official beside her.

The female official understood what the emperor meant, and walked out of the curtain to convey the emperor's instructions to all officials: "If there is nothing else to report, please leave the court."

The meeting is over.

Gu Xinlan went straight to the imperial study, a look of worry appearing on her face.

Ever since the war between Dasheng and Xiqi broke out and immortal masters were flying all over the sky, she hasn't seen A'mei for a long time and wondered if something was going to happen.

When she arrived outside the imperial study, she heard someone talking.

He was probably talking about something like "sect", "master", "foundation building pill" and Gu Xinlan didn't quite understand.

After a long time.

Then a young monk with an imposing bearing walked out of the hall and flew away into the air.

"Sister, come in."

The cold voice of the Empress of Daqing sounded.

Gu Xinlan stepped into the hall.

There is a faint smell of incense and golden tents hanging all around.

In a quiet and solemn environment, Chen Duhe, who is nearly three years old, is chasing and playing with a baby spirit beast.

This spirit beast has white fur all over its body and golden horns on its head. It looks somewhat like a dog, but it exudes the majesty of a lion as it runs. I wonder where this rare thing was caught from.

"Sister."

Gu Xinlan spoke first: "From what you guys said just now, are you leaving?"

The cold eyes of the Queen of Daqing moved away from the man and the beast cub and fell on the eldest princess. She asked softly, "Sister, do you want to come with me? I promise to take you across the river."

Gu Xinlan did not answer immediately.

The empress already knew the answer.

"That's fine."

The empress slowly stood up and walked slowly, dragging her black and gold long skirt. "Since Sister has someone she loves, I can't force her. Sister, you can go back and pack up. Tomorrow I will send you and Duhe back to Dasheng Liangzhou."

Gu Xinlan's eyes flickered, and she quickly asked, "Ah Mei, are you not planning to come back?"

"After building the foundation, I was suppressed by the Great Dao and could not come to Dongsheng Shenzhou."

The Empress explained: "But if one day the ancestral vein is revived and the seal is broken, I will be able to travel freely. That day should not be too far away."

"Ok."

Gu Xinlan understood that her sister was seeking immortality, so she asked, "If my sister and I leave, what about Daqing? Should we leave it to other members of the Shen family?"

Like any other dynasty.

They also have royal descendants in every province of Daqing.

"How can those mediocre people govern Daqing well?"

The empress's cold voice was filled with a hint of contempt: "After I leave, I will randomly select a member of the Shen family to stabilize the government, and then the sect will serve as the national master to assist in government affairs.

“But don’t worry.

"I have already explained to them that when the matter of Dongsheng Shenzhou's ancestral vein is settled, Daqing will be my sister and I'll cross the river. It's dangerous now, so it's better for my sister not to stay here for now."

"Leave it to..."

Gu Xinlan was a little confused: "Governance by the monks of the sect?"

"Ah."

The empress looked at the distant west and said calmly: "The world has changed dramatically a long time ago. Now, the four countries of Dongsheng Shenzhou, except for the old emperor of Sheng Dynasty, are just puppets of Tianshuizhou Sect."

Gu Xinlan pondered: "So, the old emperor of the Sheng Dynasty is still a man of means?"

"He has means."

The empress's tone became more serious: "I'm afraid that you will use these means on my sister's family."

……

Beijing!

Zhongjue Hall.

"Good news——"

In just over a month, earth-shaking changes have taken place on the front line.

From the daily reports of distressing losses, to continuous reports of victory.

"Okay!"

Jin Wang Cao Huan finally vented the anger that had been pent up in his heart for more than a year. He concluded: "Although my Dasheng court suffered heavy losses in this Western Expedition, we have managed to defend our territory and inflict a heavy blow to the Western Qi bandits!"

"Chen Sanshi..."

Tian Guang, the Minister of Revenue, said: "Perform another heavenly merit."

mentioned here.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Yin Mingchun, the Minister of Personnel, said seriously, "I don't know how to reward the white robe this time?"

"You have done a great job..."

Tian Guang muttered, "If we go any higher, I'm afraid we'll become Dukes."

"Everyone!"

Minister of Industry Yan Maoxing interrupted everyone and said, "Have you forgotten something? Since the Wolf Mountain more than two years ago, Chen Sanshi has repeatedly disobeyed orders.
"After Sun Xiangzong passed away, he was ordered to be transferred to the capital, but he kept making excuses and resisted.

"During this Western Expedition, he also ignored the military orders and the gold medal. Granted, he had his own ideas, but he should at least give an explanation, right?

"And if this continues to happen over and over again, will Chen Sanshi get used to it? If this continues for a long time, won't he completely ignore the imperial court's orders?

"In this case, where is the majesty of the court, and where is the majesty of your majesty?"

Disobedience.

Since ancient times, this has been a taboo among taboos for officials in the imperial court, and this is even more true for military generals.

No matter how great the contributions this person has made.

It means that he...

disobedient!
A disobedient general who controls troops under his command would not be tolerated by any court throughout thousands of years, let alone the Great Sheng Dynasty.

"besides."

Ming Qingfeng, the Minister of War, added: "It is clearly written in the battle report from the front that during the battle of Wucheng, Chen Sanshi used magic when fighting Zou Hu, who was above the Martial Saint. It can be said that he is now also an immortal master. However, Chen Sanshi never stated this in his memorial to the court."

This is called deceiving the superiors and hiding the truth from the subordinates!
In recent years, the veil of immortals has gradually been lifted, and they are no longer so mysterious to everyone. Even if Chen Sanshi got an opportunity by chance, or the cultivation method left by Sun Xiangzong, he should have taken the initiative to present it to the court.

Hiding like this seems like there is some conspiracy!

To put it more seriously, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Everyone."

Jin Wang Cao Huan said: "After all, Chen Sanshi has made great contributions to the Great Sheng Dynasty. Even if he handled some things improperly, it is not as exaggerated as you all say.

“According to this king,

"Why not transfer him to the capital first, and then discuss how to reward him."

"Will he come?"

Yan Maoxing said: "Last time when Sun Xiangzong passed away, he made all kinds of excuses and resisted. If we force him to be recruited this time, he is at the border and has a large number of troops under his command."

"How about this."

After careful consideration, Prince Cao Huan of Jin said, "I will report this to my father first and let him make the decision."

……

Longevity Palace.

The peaceful palace is filled with ancient music.

The sound of the chimes is clear and deep, as if coming from ancient times. The sound of the bells and the moonlight are intertwined, as if only this peaceful melody is left in the entire world. The faint sound of the bells, accompanied by the moonlight, flows through every inch of the air like running water.

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng, the army has won!"

Behind the palace is the lake.

Inside the pavilion.

After receiving the news, the two monks couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

For these two people, the magic practitioner is above the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, while the martial artist is at the initial stage of True Strength Realm.

One can build a foundation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but some people try to increase the success rate of foundation building a little bit, and continue to practice higher after reaching the twelfth level.

Both of them were cultivators who came here in response to the bounty offered by Shengyun Sect.

They were originally preparing to join the war and help the Dasheng Dynasty seize the ancestral vein of Mangshan, but they were late. Fortunately, Mangshan has been taken, and they only need to rush to help. Next, they just need to wait, wait for the ancestral vein to revive, set up a teleportation formation, and let the upper sect come to take over this world.

"I am happy with you all."

The Emperor of Dasheng did not show too much courtesy to the two men just because they were so-called "immortal masters". His attitude towards them was no different from that towards ordinary ministers.

"Don't worry, Emperor Dasheng."

The monk began, "When the teleportation array is opened next time, someone will bring the foundation-building pill and present it to His Majesty the Emperor. Our sect will never break our promise."

“Although the Mangshan ancestral vein is already in our hands, I’m afraid the villains in Luoye Valley will not give up.”

Emperor Longqing glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "I will be in seclusion soon, so I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to be there in person."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this."

The monk said: "My sect has hired an entire martial arts family, and they will be able to go to Mangshan soon and take charge. Naturally, they will be able to deal with the thieves in Luoye Valley and Lingji Cave."

"So good."

Emperor Longqing waved his whisk and said, "Come on, take the two immortal masters down to rest."

"Yes!"

Immediately, a eunuch from the Western Factory came out and led the two monks away.

After leaving the Wanshou Palace, Wu Xiu muttered, "Is this person so anxious to get the foundation-building pill? After the breakthrough, won't he abandon the kingdom he has worked so hard to maintain for more than half a century?"

"No."

Fa Xiu shook his head: "It is said that this person has a treasure that can resist the suppression of the heavenly way. Even after building the foundation, he can stay in this world safely."

"There are treasures like this?!"

Wu Xiu was surprised and said: "If he builds his foundation, then he is on the 'Path to Immortality' and has reached the top of this place."

"He already is."

Fa Xiu said, "This person had already completed Qi Refining many years ago. Since he couldn't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, he kept adding more and more. His magic power has long been unfathomable. This time, he didn't go to the Mangshan Ancestral Vein because his meridians were corroded by evil spirits. Otherwise, it would have been much easier. If this person wasn't so capable, why do you think the sect would cooperate with him instead of subduing him?"

"It's really unexpected."

Wu Xiu looked up to the sky and said, "In a place like this where spiritual energy is scarce, there is still such a genius."

Just as the two were chatting, a eunuch supporting an elderly official passed by them and went straight to the Wanshou Palace.

With the help of Huang Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, the cabinet chief Yan Liang trembled and came to the outside of the pavilion. He sat down on the stool and panted for a long time before uttering an old voice:

“Unexpectedly.

"At the last moment when food and grass were exhausted, Chen Sanshi was able to fight back and break through to the legendary Martial Saint."

"But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and I don't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains."

Emperor Longqing chanted quietly: "Not only the barbarians, but even the bandits of Western Qi are afraid of the white robes. It is a great blessing for the country to have such a good general.

“It was only two years ago that the Wolf’s Lair was sealed.

“Now we have killed the military immortal again and captured the ancestral vein of Mangshan.

"Yan Liang, how do you think we should reward them?"

"I think so."

Yan Liang, the chief minister of the cabinet, said: "We should give him a heavy reward and directly confer him the title of 'Duke of Wei', and let the whole world know that the emperor is very gracious and has great favor towards the white robe. Then, we can summon him to the capital and formally confer the title in front of all the civil and military officials in the capital."

"You can arrange this matter."

After Emperor Longqing finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Yan Liang immediately stood up and left.

"Old Yan Ge."

Huang Hong said as he walked: "After the transfer order is issued, what if Chen Sanshi still finds all kinds of excuses to shirk his duties like he did last time when he was in mourning? If we use force, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, and he is still the commander for the time being."

"Eunuch Huang, you still don't understand human nature. You don't need to worry about the Du Biao Army."

Yan Liang's voice sounded a little labored: "First of all, the civil and military officials of the Du Biao Army were all appointed by the court. Even when the food and grass were exhausted, only a small number of them surrendered to the enemy. The vast majority of them were still loyal to the court.

"Secondly, the soldiers of the Du Biao Army had just experienced a life-and-death battle and had finally managed to save their lives from the hands of the King of Hell. How could they possibly be labeled as 'rebels' at this time and be plunged into a life-and-death game again?
"at last.

"I'm going to put it bluntly. "It's still hard to say whether Chen Sanshi can completely control the Hongze Camp. Don't forget that Chu Shixiong and others were carefully selected by you and me."

"Mr. Yan is indeed very thoughtful."

Huang Hong asked: "So what are the specific arrangements next?"

"..."

After a moment of hesitation, Elder Yan, who had never commanded a war before, made moves that were no less powerful than even the military genius Han Xiang. He said calmly:

“If I remember correctly.

"Now there are two groups of immortal masters on their way to Mangshan. Let them be responsible for delivering the transfer order. Let's use the excuse of letting Chen Sanshi recover from his injuries to remove his command seal and let Tong Xiaochu take charge.

“Then, send the immortal master to Liangzhou. His family is still in Liangzhou, so it’s impossible for him not to obey.

“After Dongqing withdrew its troops, my army also withdrew to Liangzhou, just in case.

“After doing all this.

“Then the imperial edict was issued to transfer him to the capital.

“If he still refuses.

“We can only use the hard method.

“Don’t be afraid of him taking action. Once he kills too many Northern Liang soldiers, he will lose the support of the people and it will be difficult for him to achieve success.

“It’s arranged like this.

“He should be able to be transferred to the capital within a few months.

“Once he arrives in the capital, with His Majesty personally in charge, he will be like a tiger without claws and fangs. This ‘loyal minister’ will have to do what he wants to do, whether he wants to or not.

"He had no choice."

"Lord Yan has made careful arrangements."

Huang Hong exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "Even if he gave up literature and took up military service, he would be a good commander in battle."

"Haha, I'm getting old. Soon I won't be able to write even the Qingci anymore."

Elder Yan added: "Also, the affairs of the three prefectures must be handled cleanly."

"Don't worry, Lord Yan, we will handle it smoothly."

……

Mangshan.

Another two months have passed.

While Chen Sanshi was waiting for the transfer order, he did not forget to practice.

After several sleepless days and nights, he put down the Longdan Silver Spear heavily.

After dozens of days, he was unable to open up the next Jingshen.

After martial arts enter the realm of true power, the difficulty of cultivation will increase exponentially again. After all, one step further is equivalent to the foundation-building realm of magic cultivation.

The cultivation of magic and the laying of foundation are enough to form a family of immortal cultivators, which is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight.

According to records, even for a martial arts practitioner with superior talent, it would take five to ten years to advance from the initial stage of true strength to the middle stage. It would be faster with the help of elixirs.

And few people sell elixirs and materials for practicing martial arts.

At least, Chen Sanshi was rarely seen in Dazefang Market.

Since martial arts consumes resources and does not increase lifespan, it is natural for it to decline, not to mention that it will cut off the way forward after reaching a certain height.

"The realm of true strength."

Chen Sanshi couldn't help but think of the Bai family he met in Yulongji.

The Bai family is a martial arts family.

Each of their generations is able to reach the realm of true strength, so they must have a unique method, such as elixirs or something like that.

It's just right. I can take some time to refine the Zhenwu Pill that the other party needs, and visit him while completing the transaction.

[Kung Fu: Fire Swallowing Technique. Qi Refining Level 3]

【Progress: 355/800】

After Chen Sanshi arrived at the third floor, the efficacy of the first-grade inferior elixir "Huanglong Pill" became increasingly weak, and it was time to refine the mid-grade "Qingling Pill" next.

In addition, he also did not neglect the practice of various magic spells.

[Magic: Ten Thousand Swords from the Sky. Level 2]

【Progress: 587/2000】

……

[Spell: Thick Earth Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 218/1000】

……

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breaking Limit Level 3)]

[Progress: (516/2000)]

Cultivation is completed.

Chen Sanshi found a vacant space in the mountains and fields, took out his storage bag, and poured out the spoils all over the ground.

After the war, he obtained as many as twelve storage bags. To outsiders, he was even more powerful than the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. He was like a mountain king in the world of immortal cultivation.

The majority of them are mid-grade magical instruments, most of which are flying swords. There are various types, some are 99% new, some are tattered, and there are also many with strange shapes.

There are also many flying magical instruments.

Chen Sanshi picked and chose, and finally put a leaf-shaped flying magic weapon into the storage bag, intending to keep it for his own use in the future.
I can also pick some things for Ningxiang and the others when I go back.

As for elixirs, there are a few Qingling Pills, but no higher grade ones.

After all, the higher the grade, the more precious it is. The cultivators usually eat it after buying it. After arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, they have no way to practice, so there is no need to carry it with them.

And then.

It's the practice.

The sect's monks' skills are forbidden to be passed on to outsiders, and they are not allowed to carry them on their bodies.

But there are exceptions for independent cultivators.

Chen Sanshi found two sets of skills from the elderly monk who was killed by the Xiqi vanguard army.

A book called "Jin Yuan Shu", but unfortunately it only contains Qi Refining Stage exercises. After his fire spiritual root was upgraded, he had already reached the foundation-building stage and could not use it.

Another book called "The Art of Controlling the Sword" can be practiced by anyone regardless of their spiritual root attributes. It is mainly suitable for sword practitioners and is not very useful, but it seems it can be given to the little fool.

What Chen Sanshi was most interested in was the set of talisman techniques left by Han Xiang, called "The Book of True Talismans". It contained many kinds of talisman drawing methods of the entire first level, and even some materials and talisman pens. He could start learning when he had time.

Too many skills don't overwhelm the body.

As long as it does not affect the progress of cultivation, the more you learn about the hundreds of arts of cultivation, the better.

The rest are a mess, such as Han Xiang’s chessboard, Zou Hu’s Mighty Vajra Ring and so on.

Chen Sanshi also collected them all. If he really had no use for them, he would find an opportunity to sell them all on the black market, which would bring him another considerable income of spirit stones.

After I finished packing, it was already dawn.

He prepared to go down the mountain and return to the military camp.

It was at this time.

The blue bird landed on my arm with an envelope, which was a secret letter from the capital.

Chen Sanshi opened it slowly, and after reading the contents on the letter, he discovered that although he was practicing the Fire Breathing Technique, he felt a chill all over his body.

This is the reply from fourth senior brother Fang Qingyun.

Just six short words.

"Go home first, then find a job."

But there is no denial, which explains everything.

He was fighting for his life in the front, and not only was there no way for the rear to come to his aid, but they actually stabbed him in the back and killed him along with hundreds of thousands of troops at Guandu!
And purpose.

Chen Sanshi knew what it was without even thinking about it.

Foundation Building Pill!
Aren’t these cultivators fighting to the death just for the Foundation Establishment Pill?
The situation at that time was that Guandu was about to collapse, and the man in the capital was most likely worried that he would not be able to get any benefits from Shengyun Sect, so he sold them out in exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills from Luoye Valley.

Just like ten days in Yunzhou!
Chen Sanshi had to flee all the way from Poyang with his brothers and tens of thousands of civilians.

He was sold again.

In Cao Kai's eyes, everything in the world is his personal "treasury". When needed, he will take it out in exchange for his own cultivation resources.

If it happens once or twice, it will happen three or four times!
This time, I need a foundation-building pill to break through the foundation. Next time I encounter a bottleneck, I may not need any powerful medicine!

absurd!

Even if it's a dog at home, a normal person would be very sad if it dies.

not to mention.

They are fighting hard at the front!
"boom!"

True power surges.

The flames are burning.

The letter turned to ashes.

Chen Sanshi's pupils also glowed red, which lasted for a long time before fading away. He walked down the mountain and returned to the city.

He estimated.

Soon after.

He will be stripped of his military power and replaced by more monks to take over the Mangshan army.

Moreover, there is a shortage of food and grass in the western border.

Chen Sanshi can't make any waves here.

If the food in Wucheng had been kept, there would have been a frenzied counterattack from the Xiqi army. Food is more likely to cause a desperate fight than fear, so half of it was burned to minimize the losses.

Every one less death is a thousandth.

The most critical point.

Sun Li, Chen Yunxi, and nearly a hundred people from the Governor's Mansion are still in Liangzhou...

Senior brother is right.

Go home first, then find a job.

Unsurprisingly.

Chen Sanshi had just returned to the military camp when he saw Zhao Kang coming forward and said, "Sir, two more 'immortal masters' have arrived, holding transfer orders from the Ministry of War."

"I see."

He entered the city calmly.

In front of the gate of the central army tent, the military supervisor eunuch Guo Fengjie had been waiting for a long time. Behind him stood six monks, all of whom were in the state of perfection.

among them.

There are Wang Jun, Qu Yuanxiang...

The remaining four people arrived one after another after the war ended.

There are two of them, one is above the twelfth level of Qi Refining and is estimated to be at the fourteenth level, and the other is a martial artist at the initial stage of True Strength.

"Champion Chen Sanshi, listen to my orders!"

The eunuch Guo Fengjie, the military supervisor, spoke in a sharp, piercing, yet remarkably loud voice:

"Champion Marquis Chen Sanshi has made great contributions in the Western Expedition. The battle has been successfully concluded. He will immediately hand in his seal of command and lead his troops back to Liangzhou to recuperate and wait for the reward from the capital. Leave immediately without delay."

"My minister obeys."

Chen Sanshi said indifferently, took out the seal from his storage bag and handed it over.

Guo Fengjie sent a young eunuch to take the seal of the commander with a tray, and then said with a smile: "General Chen, what are you waiting for? Pack up quickly and prepare to return to Liangzhou. The court knows that you were injured in the battle of Wucheng, so they want you to rest well.

“And let me reveal one thing.

"With this great achievement, Lord Chen will soon become a Duke."

"Is it?"

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "Then I will take my leave."

After watching the white robe go away.

The military supervisor, eunuch Guo Fengjie, bowed to the monks and said respectfully, "In addition, we need two immortal masters to accompany them back to Liangzhou. Who is willing to go?"

"That shitty place?"

Qu Yuanxiang drank the spiritual wine that his fellow Taoist brought from the world of immortal cultivation and said drunkenly, "What are you going there for?"

"Military Supervisor." Guo Fengjie replied.

"What is a military supervisor?" Qu Yuanxiang asked, "Is it someone who is in charge of them?"

"Exactly."

Guo Fengjie said truthfully: "The military supervisor is the person who watches them, and can do so when necessary... In short, only the immortal masters have this ability. His Majesty said that the immortal masters who are willing to supervise the army will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones."

"Hey, that's quite a lot."

Qu Yuanxiang burped and said, "Okay, let's go over and play some more."

"Senior Brother Qu."

Wang Jun pulled him back and signaled his refusal with his eyes.

"Five hundred spirit stones can buy a lot of medicinal pills, don't miss it!"

Qu Yuanxiang disagreed.

"I'll go with him."

Wang Jun said: "I don't want spirit stones."

"As for the Immortal Master, anyone who is willing to go will be given spirit stones."

Guo Fengjie finished making the arrangements and said, "The Hongze Camp will leave tonight, so please follow Lord Chen to make the preparations."

"Brother Qu, it's not too late to regret now."

Wang Jun followed behind: "Can't you see that there's something wrong with the atmosphere?"

"What could be the problem?!"

Qu Yuanxiang drank his wine and said vaguely: "After all the killing, in the end all the good stuff was pocketed by that kid named Chen. Can't I earn some spirit stones?"

Mention this matter.

He got angry.

When Chen Sanshi first took command, he said he would punish him by military law and use him to establish his authority. This was simply too much.

After the war.

Most of the storage bags also fell into Chen Sanshi's hands.

Qu Yuanxiang only collected the junk of a few poor people, which was a huge loss.

He wished he could find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, stab the man in white robe to death with a sword, and then take away all the storage bags.

It’s just a pity that there are too many rules when carrying out sect missions!

……

At dusk that day.

Chen Sanshi led the soldiers of Hongze Camp and left Chongming Prefecture one after another.

"Lao Zhu, let's go!"

Inside the cell.

Zhao Kang opened the door and pulled Zhu Tong, who was tangled in shackles, out.

"Walk?"

Zhu Tong looked around and asked, "Where are we going?"

Zhao Kang and Liu Jinkui looked at each other and sighed in tacit understanding.

"you……"

Zhu Tong was stunned and said, "What do you two mean by this?"

"I have a jug of good wine here."

Liu Jinkui took out a wine gourd from his waist and said, "Drink it quickly, and then we'll be on our way."

"On the way?"

Zhu Tong's expression suddenly became a little depressed, but he didn't react much. He just said in a deep voice: "I know."

"Oh, Lao Zhu, you are really too impulsive!"

Zhao Kang patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "No matter what, Liao Fang was also a marquis. He even wrote the imperial edict and sent it to the local area immediately. In the end, he was killed by a captain like you. He really couldn't be saved!"

"Isn't it?"

Liu Jinkui echoed him: "The Lord also protected you, but in the end, even the seal of command was removed from you."

"Blame me!"

Zhu Tong grabbed the wine gourd and drank it all in one breath: "I will take responsibility for my own actions and will not bring trouble to you, my lord!"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Kang couldn't help but tease him, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Hearing this, Zhu Tong smashed the wine gourd to the ground and said, "What the hell am I afraid of? If you give me another life, I will still smash that guy to pieces! Just do it here, don't waste time, it's better than dying in the hands of others."

"What a fool."

Liu Jinkui shook his head: "Okay, I'm just kidding."

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhu Tong asked: "You're not going to kill me? Then where are you going?"

"The battle is over, let's go home."

……

Half an hour later.

The soldiers of Hongze Camp left Mangshan and headed towards Liangzhou City.

This battle

Five thousand soldiers of the Hongze Camp were killed in the battle.

But later, the elite Du Biao troops who attacked Wucheng were willing to stay, so the full strength of 15,000 people was still there.

These 15,000 people...

I'm afraid that from the initial opening of the camp to now, half of the faces have been replaced by new ones.

"Damn it, they drove us away right after the battle, without even giving us a chance to breathe, and they were in such a hurry to take away the seal of command, this is just like killing the donkey after it has done its work!"

Wang Zhi sat on his black horse and cursed, "If you have the guts, don't use our Hongze Camp in future battles."

"I will not do it again."

Chen Sanshi said lightly.

"No more?" Wang Zhi didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

"after."

Chen Sanshi said word by word: "No one can command us anymore."

"..."

Wang Zhi understood the implication and his expression suddenly became angry: "Did the imperial court really do this?"

After getting the default.

He suppressed the urge to turn around and head towards the capital several times!

"Let's go back to Liangzhou first." Chen Sanshi said, "Then we can make plans."

"to make."

Wang Zhi nodded.

The two of them were discussing.

Two faster horses appeared on the ancient road as the sun set.

Not someone else.

It was Wei Xuan and his wife who met each other in Ozefang Market.

"Old Wei?"

Chen Sanshi reined in his horse and stopped: "Why are you staying here instead of going back to the market?"

"I won't go back."

Wei Xuan said with relief: "The blood contract mission has been completed, and the reward has been received. I am old, and if I return to the world of immortal cultivation, I am afraid that I will not be able to break through to the realm of true strength in this lifetime, so I plan to stay here and rest for a while. I want to visit Brother Chen in Liangzhou, do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind, but..."

Chen Sanshi said sternly: "To be frank, it has been a turbulent time recently."

"Hey! You, I'm your friend, and I've fought for our lives on the battlefield. Why are you unwilling to stay at your place for two days? Are all the people in Dongsheng Shenzhou so stingy?"

Wei Xuan didn't even wait for the other party to refuse, and rode with his wife, walking side by side with him: "Don't worry, the two of us won't hold you back."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Chen Sanshi immediately understood what he meant.

Wei Xuan mentioned that he once guarded a city. Although he was a man of the world, he was also a military commander of the imperial court.

Resign today.

Two more monks were sent to supervise the army.

Wei Xuan was probably aware of something unusual and wanted to follow along to help if anything happened.

What a hero!
There are indeed righteous people in the world.

Wei Xuan continued, "Last time you killed Lu Boqin, after all, it was the Law Enforcement Hall that stole my things, and they were afraid of losing face and affecting the business of the market, so they compensated me with another Jingshen Fruit.

“After we got Mangshan, my wife also got one.

"The two of us have been martial saints for decades and have accumulated a lot of experience. Give us some time and we will be able to break through to the realm of true strength."
