It all started with one person becoming a shaman, but the Stand user...

But the guys were just happy.

Those people received the gifts, thanked them profusely, and went home, telling everyone they met:

"Following General Qing, we can live a good life."

Standing at the banquet, listening to all sorts of compliments, Qinghe Miao suddenly felt a little pretentious.

……

In March, spring returns to the earth, and the grass grows and orioles fly.

In ancient times, military campaigns were usually launched after March.

That makes sense.

Warhorses can eat fresh hay, and the feed is readily available.

Qinghe Miao has only been in school for a few days.

I'm currently hesitating whether to focus on leveling up and reach level 20 as soon as possible to unlock the new dungeon.

Or perhaps we should go to the Celestial Master's Mansion on Xuanwu Mountain in the world of Bad Guys, and take advantage of the opportunities that are now almost publicly available.

The order has been given.

Li Cunxu summoned his generals and held a meeting in Luzhou.

Qinghe Miao changed into the armor that Li Cunxu had bestowed upon him as a symbol of his status.

The titanium alloy armor that had already been delivered was only the one that was usually kept in the system equipment slot.

That's right, the armor he ordered more than half a year ago has all arrived.

I remember when he opened the door and took a look.

Hey!

"Express delivery is available everywhere, it's incredibly fast!"

However, the person who came was just an ordinary employee.

After the two sets of armor were put into the system in turn, no other information was added to them.

It's unclear whether it was a coincidence that the shipper made that choice.

The reason is still to deliver packages to strangers.

In short, the armor was given an aged look, and a general's robe was placed over it, making it look both imposing and unobtrusive.

However, in order to avoid being targeted, it's really not appropriate to wear these clothes.

If someone dresses more smartly than the leader at a big meeting, they might have to consider which foot to use to walk in the next day.

He selected fifty black-armored cavalrymen, all dressed in standard ancient armor, their hooves thundering as they charged straight towards Luzhou, braving the chilly spring air.

Outside Luzhou City, large camps stretched as far as the eye could see, with banners fluttering like a forest.

Li Cunxu was performing on a makeshift stage.

This is his signature program.

Before setting off, he personally took to the stage and sang a song to boost morale.

At this moment, Qinghe Miao was in the camp assigned to him below, and he could hear the high-pitched and clear opera singing, which was Li Cunxu's own composition, "Like a Dream: Once Feast in the Deep Cave of Peach Blossom Spring":

"Once we feasted in the deep cave of Peach Blossom Spring, a song of dancing phoenixes and singing luan birds. I still remember the time I parted from her, tears streaming down my face as I saw her off. Like a dream, like a dream, the waning moon, fallen flowers, and heavy mist."

The soldiers below the stage listened with rapt attention; it must be said, the skill was truly remarkable.

As the music ended, Li Cunxu stood on the stage, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of soldiers below, seemingly hesitant.

Mirror Heart Demon stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Li Cunxu's expression changed.

He suddenly drew his sword, its tip pointing straight south, his voice booming like a bell:

"Zhu Youzhen has led the entire nation on a campaign, leaving Bianzhou vulnerable! This is a golden opportunity, how can we let it slip by! All generals, heed my command, prepare the army, and march straight for Bianzhou!"

The audience erupted in cheers.

However, Qinghe Miao did not follow the army into battle. Instead, a messenger led him to another large tent.

Inside the tent, there were many people who clearly shared the same identity as Qing Hemiao.

Li Cunxu sat calmly in the main seat.

"I will personally lead the troops to Bianzhou. You will all be assigned to other posts."

Once all the generals had arrived, he waved his hand, and his personal guards unfurled a map, pointed north, and slowly began to explain:

"Liu Shouguang occupies Youzhou, arrogantly calling himself Yan, and has repeatedly invaded our territory. Now, taking advantage of the fact that the Liang Kingdom is preoccupied with its northern affairs, I hereby order you to go north to Youzhou to punish Liu Shouguang."

It turns out that this military expedition was personally led by him, the God of War of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Zhu Youzhen was attacking the Qi Kingdom from thousands of miles away.

Bianzhou was as empty to him as a ripe fruit, practically within his grasp.

Therefore, Li Cunxu in the animation had ulterior motives.

He wants to take a two-pronged approach.

They broke through Bianliang in the south and pacified Youyan in the north.

On one hand, he personally led the main force, taking advantage of Zhu Youzhen's all-out attack on Qi and the emptiness of Bianzhou, to strike directly into the heart of Liang.

Meanwhile, they divided their forces and marched north to attack Liu Shouguang, the Prince of Yan, who had just imprisoned his father and declared himself emperor.

If this plan succeeds, then in the south, horses can drink from the Yellow River, and in the north, the Yan and Yun regions can be encompassed.

At that time, half the world will be under our control, hegemony will be within reach, and the world will change hands in the near future.

Inside the large tent, Li Cunxu stood before the map, surveying the landscape with the air of a powerful ruler.

"This person is Liu Shouguang."

He sneered and sang in a theatrical voice:

"He is arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone else. Previously, I united the five garrisons and honored him as 'Grand Tutor,' urging him to declare himself emperor. This was a scheme to embolden his arrogance. Now he is brimming with pride, believing that no one in the world dares to challenge him, little does he know that a sword is already at his throat!"

He pointed to Youzhou on the map and gave the order:

"Zhou Dewei is leading the main force eastward through the Feihu Road! The towns of Chengde and Yiwu have already secretly communicated with me. At that time, we will encircle them from three directions, pass through the Yi River, attack Qigou Pass, capture Zhuozhou, and directly approach the walls of Youzhou!"

The generals in the tent were filled with fervor and responded in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles.

Li Cunxu himself described it as being full of vigor and high spirits.

The generals bowed their heads, and the mighty ruler was filled with righteous indignation.

What a magnificent display of heroism amidst chaos!

It is truly admirable.

Qinghe Miao stared at the distant northern town on the map.

Ancient maps are just too awful to look at; they're completely incomprehensible.

However, with Li Cunxu making arrangements, his mission was also settled.

He led his Taihang Army out of the Taihang Mountains to attack the Yan state prefectures and counties in the northwest of Youzhou and along the Taihang Mountains, in support of the main force, and finally joined forces with the various armies under the walls of Youzhou.

"This subordinate obeys."

He and the other generals bowed in unison.

Stepping out of the tent, the spring breeze was chilly, causing the banners to flutter.

Qinghe Miao looked up and glanced south, towards Bianzhou, which was also Li Cunxu's destination. Then he turned north.

That was the direction of Youzhou, the battlefield he was about to head to.

Alright, no need to think about it this time.

When heroes rise up with their swords, another ten years of calamity befall the people, and the chaos and strife of the world begin once again.

I don't have time to look for opportunities or anything like that.

He should just focus on gaining experience; when he turns nineteen, another challenge will begin.

As for the common people...

When will I finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief?

Chapter 102 Happy New Year! Miraculous Healing

Celestial Master's Mansion, Xuanwu Mountain.

Boom!

Li Siyuan's gaze swept over the family of four in front of him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xuanling, Xu Huan, Zhang Zifan, Lu Linxuan.

Today is the perfect day to send the whole family together for a reunion, so they won't be lonely on the way.

With a single palm strike, lightning surged forth, and the violent electric light danced like silver snakes, its power perhaps comparable to that of a hand grenade!

Prior to this, he had apologized to Li Keyong and was forced to kill Li Cunzhong with his own hands.

With that one stab, he knew his adoptive father had murderous intent.

Without hesitation, he resigned from his position as head of the Tongwen Academy and resolutely left Taiyuan, heading south to Xuanwu Mountain.

The purpose was to obtain the Celestial Master's Mansion's signature martial art, the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique".

Combined with the "Supreme Holy Universe Skill" he knows, they can complement each other, thus helping him break through to the highest realm.

He needs to improve his skills in order to protect himself.

For this reason, any means necessary can be used.

Zhang Xuanling was now covered in wounds and collapsed, surrounded by his wife and children.

In the previous decisive battle, he had already gained the upper hand, but Zhang Zifan, who was still being deceived, suddenly came to his rescue, giving Li Siyuan a chance to catch his breath.

The moment Xu Huan appeared and awakened Zhang Xuanling's memories, Li Siyuan seized the opportunity to kidnap Zhang Zifan.

Looking at his son, whose throat was being held by Li Siyuan, who had just learned the truth,

Zhang Xuanling trembled all over, and finally made up his mind with no other choice, and began to slowly demonstrate the key points of the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique".

With each exhale, lightning swirled around him.

Li Siyuan stared intently, memorizing every move and every technique.

At the same time, Zhang Zifan was forced to learn it.

During this process, while Li Siyuan was engrossed in watching, he snatched Zhang Zifan back with a single palm strike, leading to his current predicament.

Now, Li Siyuan is about to kill someone to silence them.

Zhang Xuanling had anticipated this moment.

He suddenly unleashed his last bit of strength, lunged forward, and held Li Siyuan tightly, pushing him toward the edge of the cliff!

One step, two steps, three steps...

Almost there!

"call out--"

A cold arrow pierced the air!

That was Li Cunyong, the only one in the Jin State Tongwen Hall who truly cared about Zhang Zifan, who had been sent flying by Li Siyuan's palm strike when he pleaded for him!

The arrow struck Li Siyuan squarely in the shoulder. Although it was not fatal, it caused him to stagger.

With her last ounce of strength, Zhang Xuanling held him and they plunged together off the cliff!

"father--!!!"

Zhang Zifan lunged to the edge of the cliff, his heart-wrenching screams echoing through the valley.
