Chapter 290: Twelve Heavenly Guardians, Guarding the Nine Continents’ Mountains and Rivers Forever

Gubeicheng.

In a side room of a secluded courtyard, Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura slowly vibrating.

A golden and red light screen appeared in his mind.

From coming out of seclusion and entering Beiyan, to fighting in Xichang City, killing dozens of Tianyao Palace warriors, and then all the way to Gubei City, fighting with the soul clone of Beiyan Emperor Murong Zhao on the way, Zhang Yuan gained a lot.

Especially outside the Zhenxi Army camp, observe and comprehend Ouyang Shucai's divine elephant power and collide with it once.

Even though he and Grandmaster Du Chongjiu were not a match for the dragon elephant that brought together 150,000 soldiers, Zhang Yuan borrowed the power of the divine elephant not only to cultivate his own divine elephant prison-suppressing skills, but also to temper himself.

He had originally only condensed a dozen pieces of jade bones, but after they were broken, they were reunited and the number directly climbed to more than ninety pieces.

This is the jade bone that is permeated with the power of the dragon and elephant.

Once all his jade bones are condensed, he will be able to carry the power of the dragon and elephant.

An ordinary Vajra Grandmaster can only condense three jade bones, and when it comes to the Dragon Elephant level, there are only nine.

Zhang Yuan's jade bone condensation is already ten times that of an ordinary Dragon Elephant Master.

He felt that one day he would really be able to step into the Dragon Elephant with the strength of his physical body.

A dragon elephant in the flesh, is there such a realm in the world?
Walking out of the wing room, Huang Laoliu grinned and said, "You are really able to concentrate on retreat."

"The city magistrate, the sergeant, and all those people have come to look for you several times."

After Zhang Yuan charged into the enemy line outside the city and severely defeated the Jubei Army, he went straight into the city and went into seclusion, not coming out for a whole day.

In fact, he didn't really need to go into seclusion directly, but in his opinion, it was better to go into seclusion than to get entangled in the messy affairs in Gubei City.

He didn't want to get involved in what was happening in Jubei City.

After a pause, he looked at Huang Laoliu and asked, "Have you told Princess Fengming about Prince Zhao's capture by the Zhenxi Army?"

Huang Laoliu nodded, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Ouyang Xu might be dead."

"Fenglan, this girl, has suffered so much..."

Ouyang Xu may be dead.

When Zhang Yuan didn't see Ouyang Xu when he entered the city, he knew that something might have happened to Ouyang Xu.

This son of the Marquis of Zhenxi actually has great talent and ability.

Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time.

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the government office, the prefect Li Duanfang and others hurried to see him.

"Brother Zhang, you're finally out of seclusion." Master Gu stepped forward and took Zhang Yuan's arm. "What do you think we should do with those surrendered Jubei troops?"

"Also, that Master Shangguan wants to see you."

Zhang Yuan knew what Master Gu and the others meant.

There is a shortage of soldiers in Gubei City now. It would be best if these Jubei troops could be used.

If they can't be used, they'll just be a burden if kept in vain. Kindness is not the best way to command an army, so during a clash between two armies like this, building a few Jingguan towers wouldn't be a bad idea.

"I want to meet with Master Shangguan." Zhang Yuan shook his head. "As for how to deal with the Jubei Army, that's your business in Gubei City. I won't get involved."

These words made Li Duanfang smile bitterly.

Master Gu also sighed.

But they knew that Zhang Yuan would definitely not make any decision for them.

After meeting Master Gu and the others, Zhang Yuan had a general understanding of the current situation in Gubei City.

Xiao Lou was indeed quite decisive. Under the protection of Duan Ta and others, he headed directly to the Red Scale Army and Northwest Army camps on the Linghe front.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be two thousand Red Scale War Riders arriving.

Originally, the Red Scale Army sent a thousand Blue Wolf Cavalry to support Gubei City, which was already the greatest support.

"Ten thousand more Red Scale and Northwest Army troops will arrive later," Young Master Gu said in a low voice, looking at Zhang Yuan. "This should be the limit of what the front lines can withdraw."

The Zhenxi Army came from the north, and the Northern Yan Emperor Murong Zhao was still in charge. The front lines were also watching and did not dare to split up their troops.

What Gubei City needs to do now is to defend this place and wait for the Chilin Army from Feiying Pass to come out and rescue.

According to Li Duanfang, the Chilin Army, the Border Army, and the Zhengyang County garrison will form reinforcements as soon as possible.

But, it takes time.

"We have no control over whether the Zhenxi Army will head straight for Gubei City or head towards Linghe to attack the Chilin Army and the Northwest Army camp."

"Murong Zhao was once awarded a title of nobility for his military exploits. His military prowess would rank him among the top ten military marquises of the Qin Dynasty."

Li Duanfang whispered.

If it were not for his outstanding military achievements, Murong Zhao would not have been able to inherit the title of Marquis of War and would not have been able to guard a county.

Even if Zhang Yuan knew about this trend, he would basically be unable to change anything.

Even for masters like him and Du Chongjiu, it would be difficult to change the situation on a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting.

Although the Grandmaster is powerful, he cannot influence the general trend of the world.

"You want to see me?" In the side hall of the government office, Zhang Yuan saw Master Shangguan in a black robe, and Guo Tangyuan standing beside him in a martial robe with bloodstains on half of his face.

So far, the remnants of the Jubei Army are all under the command of Guo Tangyuan.

After Lieutenant General Li Yuncheng died in battle, the highest-ranking officer in the Northern Defense Army was Lieutenant General Guo Tangyuan.

Young Master Shangguan turned to look at Guo Tangyuan and whispered a few words. Guo Tangyuan turned and walked out, leaving only Zhang Yuan and Young Master Shangguan in the hall.

"General Zhang, I have something I want to show you." Young Master Shangguan looked at Zhang Yuan and said in a deep voice, "In Gubei City, I only trust General Zhang."

As he spoke, he took out a black token and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

The token is not big and is dark in color.

Zhang Yuan's gaze shifted from the token to Master Shangguan's face.

"this is yours?"

A murderous aura instantly spread from Zhang Yuan. If Master Shangguan said even a single wrong word, he might kill someone.

"No, it's not mine." Master Shangguan's face flushed and he lowered his voice, "This belongs to my father."

"He said, if I were to be defeated by the Qin army, I should show this item to the strongest man in the army."

"He said this thing was his and could save my life in Daqin."

Zhang Yuan's gaze slowly shifted from Master Shangguan's face to the token.

On the black token, there are mysterious cloud patterns and the ancient dark patterns of the two words "Zhentian".

Zhang Yuan had never seen this token, but he knew about the existence of such a token from the classics of the Black Ice Platform.

Black Ice Platform, the Heavenly Guardian.

The Twelve Heavenly Guardians guard the mountains and rivers of the Nine Continents forever.
