Eternal Sword

Chapter 676 Northern Expedition
The person who came was Ye Xuan from Jiange.

Wang Xiaobo remained calm, but felt a little nervous.

He is now seriously injured and has not recovered yet. What is Ye Xuan going to do by going to his residence without saying hello?
I heard that Ye Xuan's daughter has a close relationship with Chen Tang.

Could it be that Ye Xuan wants to avenge Chen Tang?

However, Ye Xuan was also seriously injured in the battle in the capital half a year ago, so he should not recover so quickly.

Wang Xiaobo said slowly: "Brother Ye, why did you come here uninvited?"

"Don't worry, General."

Even in the darkness, Ye Xuan seemed to still see Wang Xiaobo's nervousness, and said lightly: "I came here just to deliver a letter to you on behalf of someone else."

After saying that, Ye Xuan threw it away casually.

A piece of letter fluttered in the air and landed right in front of Wang Xiaobo.

Wang Xiaobo took it but did not read it. He remained alert and asked, "Whose letter is it that is worth your personal trip?"

"Chen Tang."

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he turned and left, quickly disappearing into the night without attracting anyone's attention.

Leaving now?

Wang Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was a little complicated.

Ye Xuan is an upright person, so he naturally would not do such a thing to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

He underestimated Ye Xuan.

Even though he had seized the Northern Expedition Army from Ye Xuan, when they met again, Ye Xuan was still quite polite to him and called him "Brother Wang".

But just now, Ye Xuan had changed it to "General Wang".

In the battle in the capital, Jiange suffered heavy losses, and Jianzong and Ye Xuan were both seriously injured.

But all the fame and benefits were taken by him.

It was understandable that Ye Xuan was distant from him.

However, whenever he thought of this, he would still feel an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

In the battle of the capital, Queen Yin was deposed, Xuantian Sect was defeated, Jiange was severely damaged and could not threaten the Southern Xia court, Zuixianlou was destroyed, the forces of Jianghu were divided, the Northern Expedition Army and his reputation were even more prosperous than before, at the peak of his career, he should have been the biggest winner.

But unexpectedly, he suffered a huge setback at Linjiang Inn!
Dealing with Chen Tang should have been foolproof, but who would have thought that the Demon Lord would appear there and interfere!
Whenever he thought of Chen Tang, he found it difficult to control his anger and irritability.

The damage done to him by the Demon Lord was too great.

Until now, he is still often troubled by inner demons and has difficulty controlling his emotions.

Why did Chen Tang write to him?
Wang Xiaobo originally wanted to burn the letter directly without even reading it, so as to avoid being upset.

But when he thought about Ye Xuan coming to deliver the letter in person, he felt curious again.

In the darkness, after thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath and opened the letter.

It’s just a letter, so what?

Wang Xiaobo read the contents of the letter and seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Tang actually wants to join forces with him!
He had a great resentment towards Chen Tang.

But if what the letter says is true, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If it can be used well, it is very likely that Bei Qian will be defeated in one fell swoop and an unprecedented achievement will be established!

Wang Xiaobo pondered all night and finally made a decision at dawn.

"Tell Liu Daojian to meet me in the lobby."

Wang Xiaobo instructed his attendants outside the door.

Not long after, Liu Daojian rushed to the general's mansion from outside and entered the lobby. He saw Wang Xiaobo sitting at the main seat, drinking hot tea, staring blankly, as if thinking about something.

"grown ups."

Liu Daojian stepped forward quickly and bowed.

Wang Xiaobo said in a deep voice: "Daojian, pass on my military order. Five days later, the entire army will prepare their troops, fodder and baggage, leave Jingkou and arrive at the riverside ferry."

"General, is this just a drill, or..."

Liu Daojian was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively.

Wang Xiaobo said: "There will be a civil strife in the capital of Beiqian. By then, Beiqian will be severely damaged and may even collapse."

Liu Daojian was puzzled and asked, "Where did you get this news, sir? Is it reliable?"

"You don't have to ask any more questions."

Wang Xiaobo said calmly: "When the time comes, the Northern Expedition Army will act according to circumstances. If there is no movement in Beiqian, the entire army can just conduct a drill by the river and there is no need to cross the river."

"If there is any major change in Beiqian Capital, we can take advantage of it and capture Yaozhou and Qingzhou on the river bank!"

Liu Daojian frowned secretly, still feeling that this matter was somewhat suspicious.

"Sir, there are at least two Transformation Realm Grandmasters in Beiqian."

Liu Daojian persuaded, "The leader of Xuantian Sect is one, and the Beiqian God of War Murong Daoye is the other. What's more, Yaozhou is the territory of Beiqian Taiwei Yuwenmao, and Qingzhou is the important place of Xuantian Sect. It is said that there are dragons stationed there."

"It would be extremely difficult to get a hold of these two states."

Wang Xiaobo smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. By then, these two Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm will be unable to take care of themselves, and there may even be a Grandmaster who will die in Beiqian!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Nanxia."

Liu Daojian hesitated in his heart, and said, "Sir, the Northern Expedition is of great importance. I am afraid that we are not well prepared if we launch the war hastily. Please think twice."

Wang Xiaobo's expression gradually turned cold.

Liu Daojian's repeated obstructions made him unhappy and impatient.

"Daojian, I heard that you have entered the first level and become a master."

Wang Xiaobo suddenly said something in a deep voice.

"Yes, thanks to your guidance." Liu Daojian heard that Wang Xiaobo's tone was a little strange, so he quickly replied with a smile.

Wang Xiaobo said expressionlessly, "No wonder you are so bold now and dare to disobey my orders."

Liu Daojian's face changed, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and said, "Please calm down, sir. I dare not! Your status is precious, and I don't want you to put yourself in danger. After all, the Northern Expedition Army still needs your command."

Wang Xiaobo snorted coldly, staring at Liu Daojian who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You'd better not dare!"

"I am still the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army. It is not your turn to make decisions. Just follow my orders!"

It was under his command that the battle in the capital was won, with the Xuantian Sect defeated, while the Jianghe was severely damaged and the martial arts world was in turmoil.

Not only that, he also got rid of Shen Guobao, who had always been against him in the court.

So what if Xia Dao himself is the prime minister?

Don't we have to be respectful to him now?

If anyone dared to be disrespectful, he would destroy Xia Dao in a moment!
After the battle in the capital, although Wang Xiaobo never said anything, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Although he had just made the decision, Liu Daojian was still nagging him, which immediately made him unhappy, so he gave Liu Daojian a scolding.

"Please calm down, my lord. I will do it right away!"

Liu Daojian said no more and bowed respectfully before leaving.

When he was at the general's mansion, he looked normal.

It was not until he returned to his residence that Liu Daojian's face turned gloomy. He gradually clenched his fists and his eyes flickered.
-
Xia Jiang.

At noon, a huge merchant ship was floating on the wide river.

Although the river was flowing eastward, the merchant ship remained on the surface of the river as if it was motionless.

This is a merchant ship of the Nanxia Shipping Gang.

There were two people sitting in the boat, one of whom was Jiang Feng, the leader of the "River Overlord" boat gang.

The other one was Chen Tang, who came here from Bingzhou on his Little Golden Roc and stayed at the Qingzhou beach for a few days before arriving here.

Jiang Feng asked curiously, "You want a few large ships that can sail long distances and carry thousands of people. Where are you going?"

Chen Tang said: "Tianhuzhou."

"Not coming back?"

Jiang Feng asked again.

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "We are just sending some friends over there to leave them a way out."

Jiang Feng asked again: "According to what you said, Beiqian will fall apart, and heroes will seize power and rise up in chaos. With your means and reputation, why don't you plan to compete for the throne of Shenzhou?"

Chen Tang smiled and said, "I am used to being alone. I don't want to be controlled by others, and I am too lazy to control others. I have no interest in the throne of the emperor."

Jiang Feng was amazed.

All the people in the world are vying for and yearning for the supreme throne.

Most people in the martial arts world also aspire to become the leader of the martial arts world and the best in the world.

The young man in front of me is not very old, but he has an extraordinary bearing and mind, which is very rare.

In fact, what Chen Tang said was only one of the reasons.

As for conquering the world, firstly, he had no idea, and secondly, he didn't have the ability to do so.

Once he chooses this path, countless people will follow him, through life and death.

It may take several years or even more than ten years, and who knows how many people will die.

Chen Tang may be able to protect himself, but what about the friends around him?
What's more, the situation in Beiqian is too complicated.

Even though his combat power is now comparable to that of a peak grandmaster, there are still several great grandmasters in the state of transformation above him.

There is also a legend that the extremely mysterious Dao Zong is nowhere to be found.

If you get caught up in it, it will be difficult to extricate yourself.

The Shenzhou at this moment is like a huge dark whirlpool. It is bottomless and dark, and no one knows what kind of horror is hidden inside.

Chen Tang could only do his best to take his friends away from this dark vortex.

Although there are conflicts and wars in Tianhuzhou, it is much more peaceful than Beiqian.

The threat is also much smaller.

They are nothing more than some masters of Donglaizhou and those hermits in Hermitzhou who are afraid of being seen in the light.

Thinking of the hermit, Ali's face appeared in Chen Tang's mind.

In the Linjiang Inn, Ali was seriously injured, but no one knew how he was now or where he was.

There has been no news for more than half a year.

Chen Tang said, "Brother Jiang, please help me calculate how much these large ships cost. I will pay the silver after I get on board."

He really didn't have much money on him now, but in the capital of Daqian, he had countless treasures.

"It's easy to talk about."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I trust you."

At the martial arts conference, he told Chen Tang that if he had any problems in the future, he could come to him.

"correct."

Jiang Feng suddenly asked: "Why are you sure that Wang Xiaobo will send troops to help you?"

Chen Tang smiled and shook his head, saying, "He is not helping me, but helping himself. He will not miss such an opportunity to build a career and expand his territory."

After discussing with Jiang Feng again and finalizing many matters, Chen Tang left the boat and leaped into the air.

In mid-air, a golden light flashed across the sky, carrying Chen Tang away to the end of the sky.

Jiang Feng stood at the bow, looking at the golden light fading away, marveling at it and secretly admiring it.
