The Prodigal Son

The war is about to start.

Qin Yu's guards quickly subdued Wei Chongshan, leaving two men to stay inside with Qi Dachui to protect Qin Yu, while the rest rushed out.

Although they were not as strong as Qi Dachui, they were all Qin Fumeng's bodyguards who had followed him for many years and had fought their way up from the battlefield.

Even when facing an enemy force several times their size, they showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, they are filled with a thirst for killing.

"Clang clang clang..."

"what……"

The sounds of clashing weapons and screams rang out continuously.

At the same time, sounds of killing could be heard outside.

The people from Baojing Division began clearing out the people on the perimeter.

Meng Zhangping peeked out and secretly rejoiced.

Thank goodness she gave in!

Otherwise, I might have really lost my life in Xining Prefecture.

"Lord Qin is indeed wise!"

Meng Zhangping gave Qin Yu a thumbs up, "Lord Qin has done a great service this time!"

Qin Yu didn't speak, but stared intently outside.

Logically speaking, as a law-abiding student in his previous life, he should have felt disgusted and terrified upon seeing such a scene.

But perhaps the Qin family's warlike bloodline was activated, he suddenly felt an urge to rush forward and fight.

"Zheng..."

Qin Yu abruptly drew his chipped sword and ordered the guards in the room in a deep voice, "You two, protect Lord Meng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu immediately drew his sword and rushed out.

"Thirteenth Young Master!"

Qi Dachui grabbed Qin Yu, "They can handle it, don't take the risk!"

"Relax!"

Qin Yu glared at Qi Dachui. "Instead of picking on the weak to practice on, are you going to challenge the experts to a fight?"

"It seems...to be true."

Qi Dachui chuckled and released Qin Yu's arm.

Without saying a word, Qin Yu immediately charged out.

Qi Dachui dared not delay and immediately followed to protect them.

Seeing Qin Yu rush out, Dong Liu couldn't help but nod secretly, and then stepped aside to watch the excitement.

Hmm, not bad!

Although his martial arts skills were lacking, at least he dared to charge out.

Qin Yu charged into the enemy ranks, about to wield his sword to kill them, when Qi Dachui's golden mace swept across and sent the person in front of him flying.

Qin Yu immediately charged at another enemy, but just as he turned, Qi Dachui struck first, smashing the enemy's head with his golden mace.

"..."

Qin Yu was speechless, then shouted at Qi Dachui, "Leave some for me to practice on!"

Brother!

What are you doing!

Was I just practicing to give you some fun?

I fought with great enthusiasm for half a day, but I didn't even touch a hair on the enemy's head!

Qi Dachui remained silent, only continuously swinging his golden mace, and no enemy could get close to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu and Qi Dachui joined forces and wreaked havoc there.

Qin Yu was in charge of the "Gaga" game, and Qi Dachui was in charge of the "Indiscriminate Killing."

Seeing the two of them like that, Dong Liu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Even with Qi Dachui protecting him like this, Qin Yu wouldn't become a master even if he were given twenty years!

Even if you become a master, without enough combat experience, you'll only get beaten to a pulp!

At this moment, Xu Wan had already led his men to clear out the enemies outside and then led a large number of Baojing Division troops in to attack.

Xu Wan was stunned for a moment when she saw Qin Yu, who had followed her out.

Coming to her senses, Xu Wan swiftly dispatched the two enemies with a swift stroke of her knife.

With the addition of the Treasure Mirror Division, a situation of too many wolves and too little meat immediately arose.

Soon, all the remaining enemies inside were wiped out.

For those who weren't quite dead yet, the Baojing Division would step forward and finish them off.

A clean and swift slit in the throat.

Xu Wan immediately noticed Qin Yu, who was covered in blood, and quickly went up to him to ask, "Are you injured?"

"No, they're all from the enemy!"

Qin Yu said casually.

"Is that so?"

Xu Wan was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to have some skills."

Qin Yu blushed slightly, and really wanted to kick Qi Dachui.

Although there was a lot of blood on my body, I hadn't actually killed even a small shrimp.

And you say it's just practice!

What a waste of time practicing!

"Initiate a search immediately! Do not let a single person escape! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Xu Wan quickly issued the order and then asked Qin Yu, "Where is that scoundrel Wei Chongshan?"

"Inside!"

Qin Yu pointed inside the house, "Quickly take him with you and come with me to the garrison camp!"

Although Pei Du and his men were keeping an eye on things, Wei Chongshan couldn't be relied on, and the garrison troops were probably in trouble too.

"Report!"

Just then, a man from the Treasure Mirror Bureau rushed over with two shot-down carrier pigeons. "Someone tried to send a message by carrier pigeon, but we shot them down!"

Xu Wan quickly took the secret letter from the carrier pigeon's leg.

Both secret letters contained only two simple words.

Incident!

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked, "Have any other carrier pigeons flown away?"

The messenger replied, "It's too dark to be sure! I've already sent men to arrest the person who released the carrier pigeons!"

……

The garrison camp of Chenzhou.

The Baojing Division's men lay in wait around the camp, cutting off the camp's communication with the outside world.

Pei Du sneaked into the tent of Wu Chi, the garrison commander of Chenzhou, and held a knife to Wu Chi's neck.

Outside the camp, a large number of garrison soldiers surrounded the main tent.

Feeling the cold blade against his neck, Wu Chi showed no panic, only a cold stare at Pei Du: "You'd better be telling the truth! Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I'll keep you here!"

So what if he's an expert at the eighth realm?

This camp has tens of thousands of garrison troops.

We can crush him with sheer numbers!

"rest assured!"

Pei Du remained calm: "The Holy Envoy will arrive soon! Whether Wei Chongshan is colluding with the Holy Fire Sect will soon become clear!"

"OK!"

As Wu Chi spoke, he flicked Pei Du's blade again, "Put this thing away! You, an eighth-realm expert, don't need to go to such lengths against someone like me, a sixth-realm cultivator!"

However, Pei Du did not sheath his sword, but coldly said, "This matter is of great importance; it's best to be cautious!"

"Whatever you want!"

Wu Chi didn't press the matter further. "Speaking of which, I should thank you!"

Why?

Pei Du asked with great interest.

Wu Chi chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You easily infiltrated my main tent, which means there are significant loopholes in the defense of my camp! If what you're saying is true, remember to tell me about the loopholes you discovered later."

This is really embarrassing!

If it were a camp with only a few hundred people, and a master like Pei Du managed to sneak in, he wouldn't say anything.

But this is a camp of tens of thousands of people!

If this happened during a battle between two armies, before the fighting even began, the commander-in-chief would be assassinated!

What's the point of fighting then!

"Actually, it's not so bad."

Pei Du smiled calmly, "After all, you are a garrison army, and the soldiers in your camp are mostly those who have never been on the battlefield, so it's inevitable that you'll be lax."

The garrison troops are different from the border troops.

They were mainly responsible for local defense and were essentially a reserve force for the Lingqiu border army.

Minor matters can be handled by the county soldiers.

There were also border troops to defend against foreign enemies.

The garrison troops don't really have much to do on a regular basis.

In this situation, it's hard not to slack off.

"You certainly know how to comfort people."

Wu Chi chuckled to himself.

I'm just stating the facts.

Pei Du sized Wu Chi up and down. "I see you're quite a character. Are you interested in joining the Treasure Mirror Division?"

"Why would I give up a fifth-rank garrison general position to join the Baojing Division?"

Wu Chi glanced at him sideways and teased, "You don't actually intend to give me your position as a fifth-rank military commander, do you?"

Pei Du raised an eyebrow and smiled, "If you have the ability, why not give it to you?"

Wu Chi smiled and was about to speak when a loud shout suddenly came from outside.

"Our brothers have been killed!"
