Chapter 293: Will Zhang Wudi take charge of the defense of Gubei City?
King Ying Chongxiao of Linglan.

Princess Fengming was familiar with King Linglan.

When the father of the previous King Zhao, Princess Fengming and King Zhao Yingji, died, the brother and sister carried the coffin into the imperial city and received education in the clan house.

Prince Linglan is one of the instructors in the clan house who is responsible for guiding the younger generation of princes.

According to seniority, King Linglan is the ninth grandfather of Princess Fengming and Ying Ji.

At that time, Princess Fengming was still young. Her father had passed away, and she was lonely and had no one to take care of her in the clan house.

Prince Lanling Ying Chongxiao usually asked Princess Fengming to play the piano, and would also take her with him when meeting guests.

In particular, Princess Fengming was intelligent and talented, leaving a good impression on many royal elders.

In this way, some people thought that King Linglan wanted to keep Princess Fengming in the imperial city.

Unfortunately, Princess Fengming eventually returned to Zhengyang County with her elder brother Ying Ji, who was to inherit the title of King Zhao.

It was also with the help of Princess Fengming that Ying Ji was able to maintain his position.

Princess Fengming has an absolute status in Prince Zhao's Mansion, which she earned through her own ability.

King Zhao Ying Ji came to Northern Yan to repay her for the sacrifices she had made for the King Zhao's Mansion over the years.

"Grandfather Jiu, my eldest brother is trapped in the Zhenxi Army..."

Ying Fenglan's voice was trembling and panic-stricken.

Princess Fengming, who had been calm before, now looked like a confused child, with panic on her face.

Prince Zhao was captured by the Zhenxi Army, and Ouyang Xu's life or death was uncertain. With these major events weighing on her mind, how could Princess Fengming really be calm and at peace?

She just needs to hold on.

Now that Linglan King Ying Chongxiao has arrived, she no longer needs to hold on.

"I know." Ying Chongxiao nodded and looked out the window, his eyes shining with brilliance.

"I came here just for Murong Zhao."

"When the Northern Yan incident is over, you can go with me to the clan residence."

"With your talent, it's not impossible for you to take charge of the Imperial Clan Office in due time."

The Imperial Clan Court was a place governed by the imperial family of the Qin Dynasty. Even the emperor and the direct descendants of the princes who held imperial power were subject to the supervision of the Imperial Clan Court.

It is precisely because of the clan affairs office that the children of the Qin royal family dare not commit too many bad deeds.

The Qin clan's palace not only has the top royal family members, but also has talents who can make plans and strategize.

When Princess Fengming left, the clan office invited her to stay.

"Okay." Princess Fengming nodded slightly.

Some things need to be considered in the long term.

If the eldest brother can't come back, the Zhao Wang lineage needs someone to support them from behind.

……

In front of the posthouse.

When Zhang Yuan was waiting at the door, Du Chongjiu happened to be there too.

Du Chongjiu's injuries had not yet healed, and he was standing tall with two swords on his back.

According to Du Chongjiu, he came to protect Princess Fengming, and at least he would wait until Princess Fengming returned to Qin before leaving.

King Zhao was trapped by the Zhenxi Army, and Du Chongjiu felt guilty for not being able to rescue him.

In this world, even a master is not omnipotent.

An army of 100,000 strong is commanded by a strong man, and even a master is powerless.

"Senior Du."

When Princess Fengming returned to the inn and saw Zhang Yuan and Du Chongjiu, she bowed slightly to Du Chongjiu and then looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Thank you, Captain Zhang."

He said thank you because Zhang Yuan rescued her and Ouyang Xu from Xichang City.

Without Zhang Yuan, they wouldn't even have the chance to leave Xichang City.

Zhang Yuan nodded and looked at the old man in the jade-white robe standing behind Princess Fengming.

The aura is as calm as water, yet it seems as if all its sharpness is hidden.

Zhang Yuan had only experienced this feeling in one person.

Murong Zhao's soul clone.

Dragon and elephant? Du Chongjiu also looked up at the old man in white robes, surprise in his eyes. He wanted to bow, but the old man stopped him with a smile.

Zhang Yuan glanced at him and left.

He raised his hands, held the bronze mace in both hands, and handed it to Princess Fengming.

"Kanglong Mace..."

Princess Fengming trembled all over, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhao asked us to bring back the Kanglong Mace."

Zhang Yuan spoke in a low voice.

The Kanglong Mace is a treasure passed down from King Zhao's lineage.

Bringing this item back and handing it over to the descendants of King Zhao would represent the inheritance of King Zhao's title, and also represent that King Zhao was willing to die.

The old man in white robe standing behind Princess Fengming raised his hand and patted Princess Fengming on the shoulder. The faint true energy made Princess Fengming feel calmer.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Fengming did not take the bronze mace.

"Captain Zhang, the Kanglong mace is useless in my hands. Now that war is approaching, if you use it to kill the enemy, it will be considered a meritorious service for our Zhaowang Mansion."

"As for after this battle," Princess Fengming pondered for a moment before speaking softly, "Should I return it to my eldest brother or..."

"talk later."

Everyone was happy that King Zhao could come back, and the Kanglong Mace was of course handed over to King Zhao Ying Ji.

If King Zhao does not return, the Kanglong Mace will have to be handed over to Crown Prince Ying Liang.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan put away the Kanglong Mace, nodded to Du Chongjiu, then turned and left.

After Zhang Yuan left, Du Chongjiu bowed and said, "Du Chongjiu greets King Linglan."

King Linglan waved his hand and looked in the direction Zhang Yuan left.

"He can sense my cultivation level. There are still such people in Gubei City."

Turning to look at Princess Fengming, King Linglan's eyes were filled with depth.

"He is Zhang Qingyang?"

Black Tiger Zhang Qingyang, with only 800 men, defeated 20,000 and killed the master in one battle.

"Yes, it's him." Princess Fengming said softly.

After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "He is very close to Yuruo girl. Big brother, I don't object."

King Linglan nodded.

No wonder Princess Fengming asked Zhang Qingyang to keep the Kanglong Mace.

The royal family often uses various means to gather talents from all over the world.

————————————————————

Zhang Yuan looked a little calmer after leaving the inn.

Since the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster is in charge of Gubei City, it means that the Qin Dynasty is not unprepared.

The Qin Dynasty’s approach will definitely not be limited to the arrival of just one Dragon Elephant Grandmaster.

Sure enough, one day later, the two masters of Feiying Pass brought dozens of innate realm masters to Gubei City.

The two masters also brought imperial decrees.

The three counties of Zhengyang, Beining and Liaozhu were ordered to follow the wartime order, and Xun Huo, Marquis of Pingyun, was in charge of the three counties and temporarily served as the military governor of the three counties.

Qin Muyang, the lieutenant general of the Luyang Prefecture garrison, and the 40,000 Longxiang Guards of Kuaiji have all arrived at Feiying Pass.

The dispatch of the troops in Gubei City was controlled by the prefect Li Duanfang, while all military officers and generals in all battles, big or small, were under the command of Zhang Qingyang, the magistrate of Qingyang County and the commander of the Black Armor of Zhengyang County at the Black Ice Terrace.

Zhang Yuan looked at the black iron order letter that was placed in front of him.

After receiving this order, you will be in charge of all military affairs in Gubei City.

From the Wuwei yamen runners, to the one thousand Blue Wolf Riders, the two thousand Red Scale War Riders, and even all the masters and innate realm warriors who came to support.

As long as there is a battle, we will be under command.

Accepting this order means that the responsibility of defending Gubei City is placed on your shoulders.

In front, the prefect Li Duanfang and the co-prefect Gao Xingzhou were both staring at Zhang Yuan.

Master Gu and other military officers who had undergone martial arts training all clenched their fists slightly, their faces tense.

Will Zhang Wudi take charge of the defense of Gubei City?
