Xuanxia

Chapter 1050 A New War

The next morning, Wangxian Pass.

Wu Yan, who left the Yuan family overnight, stood at the foot of the city gate, exhausted. He held a sword in his hand, a package on his back, and a small bag hanging on the sword. The small bag and his body were covered in blood.

"who!"

When the soldiers guarding the city saw such a man coming from the direction of Fuhe Province, they became very alert and surrounded him, pointing their spears at him.

Then, they saw Wu Yan calmly throwing the small bag on the ground.

The bundle opened by itself, and a head rolled out.

The pupils of all the rebel soldiers shrank - this head was even wearing the helmet of a Xishuo army general!

"Your nearest general in the Xishuo Army."

Wu Yan said calmly: "I am from Xuanmeng. I was on a mission in Fuhe Province. On the way back, he spotted me and I killed him."

“So he’s a brother from Xuanmeng!”

The rebels stood in awe and said, "Come in!"

Apart from anything else, the head of this Xishuo army general alone is enough to prove his identity. The two sides have been fighting for so long, and many rebels recognize this face.

Wu Yan nodded and followed the rebel soldiers towards Wangxian Pass.

"Brother, can you tell me what mission you did in Fusheng River this time?"

The leading righteous soldier looked at Wu Yan with a smile: "Now that you are back, has the mission been accomplished?"

"I guess so." Wu Yan said calmly, "The Yuan family probably won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Great!"

Another rebel said excitedly: "I heard that the Lan family is finished! It seems that this battle is finally coming to an end!"

"The Lan family is finished?" Wu Yan was slightly surprised.

When Fu Qingzhou was locked in the meeting hall and listening to Yuan Ye and others talking about this matter, Wu Yan was not among them, so naturally he did not know the news.

"Yes, it's over!"

The rebel soldiers laughed and said, "It was you, the Xuanmeng, and our Southern Rebel Army Marshal Ning. We fought together to take this down!"

"……good."

Wu Yan responded, and a hint of relaxation inevitably appeared on his face, which had always been as stiff as a piece of wood.

Soon, he was led to the general's mansion in Wangxian Pass. The account books and lists that Wu Yan brought back are still unique copies. But if they want to take over the Yuan family with them, they must copy the contents. The most convenient way at the moment is, of course, to let Hong Zhi arrange people to start doing this as soon as possible.

When Wu Yan saw Hong Zhi, he was not wearing armor, had bandages wrapped around his body, and was polishing the tip of his spear in the yard.

When he saw Wu Yan, Hong Zhi showed a helpless expression.

"Is this the completion of Fu Qingzhou's mission?"

He glanced at the large package on Wu Yan's body and murmured, "Damn it, he kicked me and my chest still hurts..."

Wu Yan tilted his head.

When Fu Qingzhou and his men set fire and left Wangxian Pass, he had already slipped away to another place and had no idea what had happened.

"Alright, alright, I'll let Sister Wushu know through a message."

Hong Zhi waved his hand: "Put your things down, you can go."

His attitude was not very good, but Wu Yan didn't care. He obediently threw the package on the ground and prepared to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

"Marshal Xiao Hong, don't bother the Yijun with such a small matter as printing the account books...Yijun, there are more important things to do."

Upon hearing this voice, Wu Yan and Hong Zhi were both startled.

"Alliance leader?"

"Master Shirakawa?"

The two spoke at the same time. In the blink of an eye, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard. The person who came was Master Baihe.

However, she now looked quite tired, and there was not even much blood on her face.

"Ah."

There was not much expression on Master Baihe's face. She walked straight to Wu Yan and took the package on the ground with her hand: "Let the officials in the capital handle this matter. We should wipe out the Yuan family."

"So fast?"

Hong Zhi glared and said, "You just beat up the Lan family! Didn't Sister Wushu send a message saying that there were heavy casualties..."

"Yes." Master Baihe said calmly, "So, use your soldiers."

"mine……"

Hong Zhi frowned: "Are you so anxious? With the Yuan family's account books and rosters, can't we slowly eat away at them?"

Master Baihe did not answer, but turned to look at Wu Yan.

Wu Yan understood and said calmly: "Fu Qingzhou didn't have time to tell me too much information. I only know that they seem to be heading west to besiege the Northern Frontier Army."

As soon as these words came out, Hong Zhi's pupils shrank sharply!

Baihe Zhenren remained calm: "It's as expected... The news about the Lan family must have reached their ears, so they will naturally not sit idly by and wait for death."

She looked at Hong Zhi and said, "I am not worried about your father at all, but the Yuan family must have moved all the important people, things and objects in the family with them. It is hard to say whether they will stay in Yan State. If we don't take action, we will not be able to keep them."

"so……"

Hong Zhi's expression became solemn: "Master Baihe, Xuanmeng, are you willing to fight again?"

"Xuanmeng, I am the only one."

Baihe Zhenren said calmly: "Too many people from the Lan family died in the battle. Marshal Ning has no soldiers available for the time being. They all need to rest. Marshal Xiaohong, we can only rely on you."

Hong Zhi's face was twisted into a ball.

"I know that your northern volunteers are fewer in number, and before you can break into the Yuan family, you must first wipe out the Xishuo troops in Fuhe Province."

Baihe Zhenren said calmly: "But right now, we have no other choice."

"actually……"

Wu Yan whispered at the side: "It may not be that difficult."

"Oh?" They both looked at him at the same time.

"these things……"

Wu Yan took a look at the big package and said, "When Fu Qingzhou gave it to me, I smelled a strong scent of blood on it. He killed someone to get this thing."

Baihe Zhenren's pupils narrowed slightly: "Who is guarding this thing?"

"Yuan Keng."

Wu Yan responded: "Fu Qingzhou may have killed Yuan Keng... or it may be another guard."

"No! No no no... not the other watchers..."

Master Baihe's eyes condensed into light, flashing brightly: "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Keng might have broken through to Xuanxing many years ago. If Fu Qingzhou hadn't killed him, there would be no way he could have brought the things out!"

"Yuan Keng? Xuan Xing?" Hong Zhi's eyes widened.

"You don't know? Didn't your father tell you?"

Master Baihe glanced at him and said, "Yuan Keng is older than your father. In his early years, his cultivation was higher than your father's. When they were young, they had many fights in the capital."

Hong Zhi opened his mouth wide.

"In other words, Fu Qingzhou killed a Xuanxing." Wu Yan concluded.

"good."

Baihe Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief: "I came all the way here because I was worried about Yuan Keng... If that's the case, we are relieved. Marshal Xiaohong, now that Yuan Keng is dead, the Yuan family must be in chaos. We can't wait any longer, send troops immediately!"
