The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 98: The hero deceives the world, spends money recklessly, and has no sincerity at all

A month later.

In Beiliang, on a mountain peak not far from Qingliang Mountain, Xi Mingzhang stood with his hands behind his back. Looking down, he saw a series of camps stationed at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. From the bottom of the mountain to the top, there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the security was very strict.

Not long after, he came to the outside of Qingliang Mountain and just watched quietly as the Beiliang troops were gathering rapidly.

Before long, tens of thousands of Beiliang warriors stood there in armor and holding weapons, each led by a general with a different temperament.

"Beiliang King Xu Xiao, in addition to his two sons and two daughters, also has six adopted sons, known to the world as one tiger, two bears and three dogs."

"The six adopted sons are headed by Chen Zhibao, who has made numerous military achievements and is known as the White-robed Soldier Saint. The next is White Bear Yuan Zuozong, the best horseman in the world and the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."

"The next one is Chu Lushan, who is cruel, sweet-mouthed, and lustful. The remaining three adopted sons are Ye Xizhen, a Confucian strategist who studied under Zhao Changling, Yao Jian, a Feng Shui master who is good at finding dragons and observing sand, and Qi Dangguo, the one who carries the banner of Northern Liang."

Xi Mingzhang put one hand behind his back and the other in front of him and said calmly:
"Ye Xizhen and Yao Jian are not good at fighting in the army, so their absence is understandable. But why is the White-robed Military Saint Chen Zhibao not here? Are you really afraid that he will rebel, so that I can easily climb Qingliang Mountain?"

"You thief, my Beiliang army is here today and we will definitely not let you climb the mountain." Qi Dangguo said in a serious voice.

"Haha, you come from a poor military background, and you are honest and loyal, but how can you be so stubborn? Do you know what this means?"

"A family that keeps horses does not care about chickens and pigs. A family that cuts ice does not keep cattle or sheep. A family with a hundred chariots does not keep a minister who collects money."

"Now the Beiliang Palace has countless gold and silver treasures, and everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation is extremely luxurious. This is nothing. He also keeps a beast like Chu Lushan who is loyal to him, and Xu Xiao also has the reputation of being a butcher."

"As the saying goes, what goes up comes down. This shows how bad the Beiliang military discipline is. No wonder you are called Beiliang barbarians and are not considered one of Li Yang's own. This is because he thinks you are no different from the foreign Beimang."

"You thief, do you think your words can shake the morale of my Beiliang army? It's a joke." Qi Dangguo mocked loudly.

"It seems that you have been brainwashed by Xu Xiao for so many years. You don't know that he is just a hero deceiving the world, squandering money recklessly, and has no sincerity at all."

"Well, I am too lazy to talk nonsense, just wait and see and kill yourself."

After he finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers cut their necks with knives and committed suicide.

In the blink of an eye, corpses were scattered all over the ground at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, leaving only a fat man in armor who was as bloated as a pig. He looked at the scene in horror. When he was about to speak, he heard an extremely peaceful voice.

"Like brutality? Like beauty?"

"Come, draw your Beiliang sword, cut yourself off with one cut, and then cut your chest, and accept the punishment of three cuts and six holes, and bleed to death."

In an instant, Xi Mingzhang gradually climbed up the mountain and walked away amid Chu Lushan's shrill screams.

After a while, a young Taoist in a yellow robe appeared a hundred feet away from a luxurious and imposing royal palace.

The many masters guarding the palace immediately stood solemnly with alert looks on their faces.

Xi Mingzhang sighed:
"Is the Tingchaoting Arsenal, which contains countless martial arts secrets, really so attractive that it can make you risk your lives like this?"

"The path of martial arts is to pursue the way of a warrior who can make kings bow their heads and become invincible in the world. Secret manuals are naturally the top priority." A swordsman who has reached the first level said in a cold voice.

Before Xi Mingzhang could speak, a pretty but cold-faced woman holding a gun said, "There are clearly tens of thousands of troops at the foot of the mountain. When you showed up without hiding, spies sent out a signal to warn them. But now, in less than a cup of tea, there is no movement at the foot of the mountain, and there is not even a trace of blood on you. You are far more terrifying than we imagined."

Xi Mingzhang spoke casually:
"It's just the Left Cavalry, one of the main forces in the Northern Liang field battles. How can a mere 40,000 elite cavalrymen block my path?"

"I recall that Wang Xianzhi faced an army of 60,000 soldiers at the gates of the city and was in a desperate situation. He fought his way in and out of the army three times by himself. During this period, there were elite soldiers from major martial arts sects such as Dongyue Jianchi, but they were still defeated by him."

He paused, shook his head and laughed:

"I don't know if you look down on me, but the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry of the Northern Liang King's personal army is not here, nor is the Iron Pagoda with 6,000 heavy cavalry in the full armor camp. Even the number of troops is only over 40,000. With these, we are still far from enough!"

Xi Mingzhang suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"Judging from your figure and the weapon you hold, you should be Xu Fengnian's personal maid, and the daughter of Wang Xiu, one of the four great masters in the past. You have an eccentric personality and a naturally cold face and heart."

"Your biological father was clearly killed by Chen Zhibao, and Chen Zhibao was Xu Xiao's adopted son, but you willingly became one of Xu Fengnian's assassins."

"You are like this, and Xu Weixiong is like this too. She is clearly the daughter of Ye Baikui, a soldier in the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Ye Baikui, the military saint of the Great Chu, is the leader of the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period. He is praised by the Shangyin Academy as the only one in five hundred years. He has fought seventy-two battles without a single defeat, and is said to have never lost a single battle in his life."

"In the Battle of Xileibi, his wife and daughter were dragged to death by Chen Zhibao's warhorse in front of the battlefield, and he later died in the Battle of Xileibi."

"However, Xu Weixiong did not die. Instead, she became the second daughter of Xu Xiao. In private, she even became one of Xu Fengnian's assassins."

Xi Mingzhang said this with a puzzled look on his face, and then said:
"Are you all born without brains, or have you gradually lost the ability to think due to your upbringing?"

"He became a loyal warrior for his enemy and acted proud and honorable."

"Moreover, such a person can be recognized as a talented woman by the world?"

He sighed:
"Alas, what kind of mess is this? I am really speechless."

After hearing what was said, the group of people on the opposite side all pretended to ignore it with one ear and out the other. Their eyes were full of vigilance and caution, thinking that all the words just now were meant to shake their state of mind.

"I have nothing to say. I just hope that you can grow some brains in your next life and not be as stupid and annoying as you are now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword light pierced through everyone's head in a flash.

"Bang bang bang!"

Hundreds of masters fell to the ground and fell asleep one after another. Among the martial arts masters guarding the palace, there were Ye Xizhen and Yao Jian, two of Xu Xiao’s six adopted sons.

In the original plot line, the two of them hired someone to assassinate Xu Fengnian when he went to Beimang alone, and were later assassinated by Xu Xiao who gave him poisoned wine.

That's why they looked strange just now, as if they wanted to escape or surrender at the critical moment.

But he really didn't expect that the young Taoist opposite him was so ruthless and decisive. Before he could even open his mouth, he turned to dust and died.
