Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 164: Temur's Fury, the Root of the Problem
Land of wonderland!!

Lian Chengbi's aura was like that of a wild goose flying across the sky, and he did not try to hide it, so Lu Wushuang, Cao Xueyang and others could see through his difference almost at a glance.

When Lian Chengbi fell to the ground, Lu Wushuang smiled slightly and asked, "Is the mission completed?"

"It's done! I've come here to join the battle with the permission of His Highness." Lian Chengbi nodded. The mission in Shuiyue Cave Heaven was quite difficult at the beginning. He even forced out the phantom of the Dragon God because of the spiritual realm, which almost made him fail.

Later, when his own prince came in person and subdued the dragon god Tong Chi of Shuiyue Cave Heaven and the Tong family of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, things became much easier.

Not long after the handover with Tiance Mansion was completed.

Relying on the existing clues and the strength of the Grand Master of Astronomy, Lian Chengbi took away Xue Ruyuan from Yujian Villa with almost no effort, and obtained Xue Ruyi's Heart from Yin Tianchou.

Lian Chengbi also got the Men family's ancestral cold iron.

He also selected four new candidates for the secret guards, two of whom are talented.

"Welcome back." Lu Wushuang nodded to Lian Chengbi.

"Thank you, Commander Lu." Lian Chengbi clasped his fists and smiled. Then, with a warm smile on his face, he walked to Yang Tianyou, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Old Yang, the battle report sent back to me by His Highness told me that it was amazing. Over 160 enemy soldiers were killed in the battle."

"Tell me honestly, did you steal someone's head?"

"Bullshit!" Yang Tianyou was furious when he heard this. His face flushed and he roared, "I was trying to kill them. Those little bastards, they're *****! I killed a few people in front of me. Otherwise, how could I kill so few people?"

Looking at Yang Tianyou, who was spitting everywhere and swearing in front of the commander-in-chief Lu Wushuang, Lian Chengbi was a little convinced that it was not that he had no martial ethics, but that those young bastards of the Great Snow Dragon Riders had no martial ethics and were trying to steal his heads.

After all, with tens of thousands of troops and ten thousand Snow Dragon Riders to divide the resources, there are indeed too many people and too little resources.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Lian Chengbi quickly consoled him, "It's impossible for the Mongols to withdraw so quickly. There will be another chance later. You're better off than me anyway. I didn't even see a drop of blood."

"go with!"

Yang Tianyou waved his hand in disdain: "Your Highness didn't give you any merit for the mission you were assigned to perform? Where did you get all this earthly immortal cultivation? You want both the military merit and the merit, and you want to get some as well?"

Lian Chengbi was surprised when he heard this, then he grinned, "Huh? Old Yang, how did you know about my land of immortals?"

"I'm not blind!" Yang Tianyou rolled his eyes.

"Before the war breaks out, I'll tell you about my fairyland on land."

"I do not want to hear."

"Old Yang, aren't you curious? I've only been away for a few days."

"Not curious, don't want to know."

Lu Wushuang couldn't help but smile as he looked at Lian Chengbi showing off.

She turned and looked at the messy battlefield, and thought of what His Highness had said: "War may cost the lives of millions, but I hope none of our people will ever be among them."

Lu Wushuang looked back towards the direction of Jiayu Pass.
"Your Highness, you really did it."

"Ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, no one was defeated, all intact, the entire army is on standby."

……

On the other side, the Mongol capital Dadu.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"boom!"

Temur slammed the report in front of him into the face of Privy Council Minister Huksad. "The Wandering Dragon Cavalry, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, with less than 20,000 cavalry, completely annihilated my 100,000-man army, 40,000 Hulan Iron Cavalry, in less than two hours. This kind of battle report is ridiculous no matter how I look at it!"

Ministers of the Privy Council, the Secretariat, the Censorate, etc.

Including Prince Ruyang and the Seventh Prince of the Yuan Dynasty, they all trembled and lowered their heads.

"The Hulan Iron Cavalry are the most elite warriors on our grasslands. One against ten, one against a hundred. They followed the late emperor on his campaigns, conquering countless tribes and nations. Even in their battles with the Ming Dynasty's Prince Su Zhu Jinzhen, they were evenly matched."

"Since the Hulan cavalry is ineffective, then send the Mulan cavalry."

"If a hundred thousand troops don't work, then we should raise three hundred thousand. I don't believe that those two mere cavalry units are heavenly soldiers or generals." The Seventh Prince fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Prince Ruyang clasped his hands together and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, please calm your wrath. The Hulan Iron Cavalry is the elite cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty. Even the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty cannot annihilate them in two hours. However, the battle report cannot be false. Since it has already happened, I think it is best to wait until the cause is fully investigated."

Although Prince Ruyang also thought it was absurd, his military acumen allowed him to smell something different.

"Yes, Your Majesty. That's 40,000 Hulan cavalry, plus the vanguard, nearly 100,000 people. Even if they were 100,000 pigs, it's impossible to completely annihilate them in such a short time. There must be a big problem."

"Furthermore, with Tuotuomu, the commander-in-chief of the Hulan Iron Cavalry, and the presence of Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena and Masters of the Profound Finger Realm in the army, and the support of the military formation, even if we were attacked by several Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena, or even if Prince Su himself attacked, it's impossible that not a single one of them would escape."

This matter is weird in every way.

The Minister of War, who was in charge of the military power of the Yuan Dynasty in the Privy Council, as well as Prince Ruyang and others, all clearly felt that something was wrong. If they rashly mobilized the army again, they would likely fall into the enemy's trap.

"call!"

Temur let out a long breath and calmed down. "Go investigate for me. Use the Canglang and Golden Eagle Guards. Give me an answer within three days."

"Yes!"

Everyone in the imperial study also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

At the same time, in Prince Su’s Mansion.

Zhu Jinzhen was also looking at the people in front of him.

The eldest daughter of Yu Jian Villa, Yin Tianxue.

The young master of Yujian Villa, Yin Tianchou.

Yin Tianxue looked at the slightly immature boy next to her with surprise in her beautiful eyes, "He is my brother?"

Yin Tianchou thought about it, didn't hide it, nodded and said: "My father Yin Jun!"

"wrong."

Yin Tianxue looked at Yin Tianchou suspiciously. "Although you and Second Uncle have some similarities in your features, Second Uncle has no children and is not a womanizer. You can't be his son. And Second Uncle's real name is Yin Zhong, not Yin Jun."

"What if the second uncle in your eyes is fake?" Yin Tianchou asked back.

Yin Tianxue's expression changed drastically, "What do you mean?"

Then Yin Tianchou told the story of how his father Yin Jun was killed by Yin Zhong and impersonated, and how he himself was abducted from Yujian Villa when he was three years old.

But Yin Tianxue was still skeptical.

Zhu Jinzhen, who had been watching the drama for a while, actually helped Yin Tianchou explain: "Your father Yin Hao knew that his second brother was a fake, but Yin Zhong's cultivation was too high, so high that he could not catch up. For the sake of Yin Tianchou's safety, he deliberately sent him out of Yujian Villa, hoping to leave a little bloodline for your Yin family."

"What?" Yin Tianxue and Yin Tianchou exclaimed at the same time.

Yin Tianxue was surprised that this matter was actually orchestrated by her father and kept secret for so many years, while Yin Tianchou did not expect that there was such a reason why he was abducted from Yujian Villa.

"Your Highness Prince Su, that brother Lian Chengbi said that he can find all the answers from you and can help me avenge my father's murder. I wonder if it's true?" Yin Tianchou asked excitedly.

"Ah."

Zhu Jinzhen nodded calmly, glanced at the still shocked Yin Tianxue, and said, "This matter has to be told from five hundred years ago... Later, in order to hide from the eyes and ears, Yin Zhong would change his identity every few decades."

"Your father Yin Jun is the target he chose."

"Yin Hao also discovered something, but he couldn't guess that Yin Zhong was the ancestor of your Yin family. He just thought he was someone with ulterior motives. But Yin Zhong's martial arts were truly terrifying. When he entered the Celestial Realm, even a frog in a well looking at the moon was no match for him. That's why he had no choice but to send you out of Yujian Villa to preserve the bloodline."

"So, uncle doesn't want me to take revenge, but wants me to live well?" Yin Tianchou finally understood why Yin Hao stopped him every time he proposed the idea of ​​revenge.

Zhu Jinzhen nodded and continued, "You have great talent. At such a young age, you've already stepped halfway into the celestial realm. In time, you could even hope to become a terrestrial immortal. Perhaps it was because he saw your potential that Yin Hao didn't object so much later."

Celestial Realm?
Yin Tianxue, who was standing aside, was shocked and widened her eyes.

She thought she was incredibly talented, secretly practicing her second uncle's martial arts. To have reached the Zhixuan realm at such a young age was enough to make her look down upon her peers. But she had no idea that her younger brother, Yin Tianchou, who was only seven or eight years younger than her, was even more gifted!
