The Hu people went north from Lucheng and attacked Wuguan with a large group of soldiers and horses. However, three regiments guarded Wuguan and the 20,000 Hu soldiers and horses took turns to attack, but they were unable to do anything.

The range of muskets became more and more effective on the rugged mountain roads. The defenders calmly loaded and fired on the Wuguan city. Although the Qing soldiers were numerous, they were unable to deploy. Instead, many were killed by muskets and fell off the cliff.

Many died.

When the urgent documents from Wuguan and the siege of Nanyang were delivered to Wan Jun, Wan Jun was on his way north from Xichuan.

On the only way from Xichuan to Lucheng in the north, there is a tall five-star dragon flag.

Wan Jun led a group of cavalry to stop in front of the San Province Inn. It was here that the Chinese army entered Xichuan for the first time. However, Wan Jun's mood was not what it was at that time. He entered the inn anxiously. Zheng Jiming had already led others inside the inn.

Waiting for a long time.

The Hu people suddenly attacked Shangzhou, and the situation turned into chaos. Zheng Jiming and Wan Jun came to this inn just because a murder occurred here.

Wan Jun entered the inn and asked, "Where is the body?"

Zheng Jiming raised his right hand and led Wan Jun up to the second floor, where three corpses were displayed in a room.

Zheng Jiming said, "It's basically confirmed that these three are our meticulous work."

Zheng Jiming pointed to the corpse on the far right and said, "This identity has been identified, codenamed Horse Shoe."

A soldier next to him leaned down and raised the left arm of the corpse. Wan Jun saw two words engraved there, "Tianbei".

The soldier said, "There is skin under the nails of this man's right hand. The traces of the writing should have been scratched on his arm with his nails before he died."

Wan Jun asked curiously, "Tianbei?"

Zheng Jiming said, "It's not Tianbei, it's the destiny. This matter is of great importance. The Hu people suddenly attacked Lucheng County just to snatch the destiny."

Wan Jun asked curiously, "Snatch the destiny. What is the destiny?"

Zheng Jiming said, "This is not clear yet. I only know that the Hu people want to return the stolen destiny to Shengjing."

As if hearing something unbelievable, Wan Jun said, "Since ancient times, when a dynasty fell, it was said that it would lose its destiny, but the destiny never said that it could be snatched away in a certain place."

Zheng Jiming also said with doubts on his face, "That's true. I always thought that destiny is a mysterious and elusive thing. Who would have known that the Hu people would send troops to snatch it. If our people hadn't brought out the information with their lives, I would never have believed it.

Kind of something."

Wan Jun said, "When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Where is the destiny that the barbarians stole?"

Zheng Jiming said, "It has probably been transported to Lushi County."

Wan Jun said, "It seems that the Hu people's attack on Nanyang and Lucheng is a fake. The real purpose is to seize the destiny. No matter what the destiny is, the Hu people must not be allowed to succeed."

Wan Jun left a group of soldiers and horses to cooperate with Tian Chaoqun to recover Lucheng County in the north, block the Qing troops attacking Wuguan, and led a large group of soldiers and horses to the northeast out of Xichuan.

Soldiers chased him halfway and delivered an urgent letter. It turned out to be Zhang Sheng's personal letter. The content was similar to what Zheng Jiming said, but it was even stranger. Zhang Sheng bluntly said that the barbarians had stolen Wan Jun's destiny and were already transporting it to

Luoyang, we must send troops to recover as soon as possible.

Wan Jun became more and more confused. If Zheng Jiming said something, it might be a misinformation. Zhang Sheng said so in his letter, which is a bit strange.

Lucheng, Nanyang and Luoyang are located in an equilateral triangle, with Lucheng and Nanyang at the bottom and Luoyang at the top.

The best way is to catch up with the Qing soldiers and see with your own eyes what this destiny is.

When thousands of troops arrived in Xixia County on the second day, the Qing army withdrew heavily to Luoyang and defended along the Nanzhao-Luanchuan line.

The siege of Nanyang City was lifted, and Chen Xinmin and Chang Jian's soldiers marched straight into Nanzhao and collided with the Qing soldiers. Probably because the news about Zhang Sheng came, Chen Xinmin and others attacked eagerly in order to recover their destiny.

However, Wan Jun had no intention of paying attention to this. News came from Lucheng to Tian Chaoqun that Zhang Xiaoyan was dead.

The city walls in Lucheng County are in dilapidated condition, and all the shops along the river in Wulipu were burned down. Last year

The newly plowed fields were trampled by people and horses and became a mess.

Wan Jun looked around and saw that this place was extremely unfamiliar. It had changed beyond recognition after two years of development.

What was beyond recognition was the girl in front of him.

Zhang Xiaoyan's mouth and eyes were closed tightly, and a shocking blood mark was carved on her jade-like neck.

Ever since we said goodbye last year, Zhang Xiaoyan has been looking forward to seeing Wan Jun again all the time. However, Wan Jun was standing beside her, but she closed her eyes tightly and never looked at him again.

Wan Jun felt as if something was broken in his heart, and it hurt like tearing apart. He had always looked at the world through the eyes of an outsider, so how could this world suddenly have love, hate, and separation? It was heartbreaking and distressing.

"Xiaoyan!"

Wan Jun stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Xiaoyan's face. Her body had undergone changes and had become more and more beautiful.

But who could have imagined that a girl as beautiful as a flower would suddenly turn into a cold corpse, and all the beauty would be frozen, leaving only corruption.

The hibiscus emerges from the water and rests in the earth!

Next to her was Chang Le's body. The impact of falling off the cliff left Chang Le's body broken and twisted. There were still several arrows stuck in her chest. It was obvious that the people on the cliff were worried about her survival.

Wan Jun's heart was filled with anger and grief, and there was something in his eyes that was about to burst out.

He held Zhang Xiaoyan's hand, and the cold touch made Wan Jun finally couldn't help it, and a tear fell on his clothes.

Tian Chaoqun next to him said uneasily, "Li Zicheng's tomb in Jinzhongshan was dug up, and Li Gao who was guarding the body in the temple was also killed."

Wan Jun finally calmed down and took one last look at Zhang Xiaoyan, "Bury her on the cliff of the West Palace!"

Tian Chaoqun waved his hand, and several soldiers quickly stepped forward and pushed the car containing the girl's body away.

Wan Jun watched the soldiers push the girl away and turned around when he could no longer see him. "The fact that Li Zicheng's grave was dug up and Queen Gao was killed was quickly passed on to Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Liu Tichun and others.

, the surrender of the troops will definitely lead to a fight to the death with the barbarians."

Tian Chaoqun said, "In addition, there are more than ten thousand Qing troops in the direction of Wuguan. They cannot retreat and are blocked in the Zhulin Pass area."

Wan Jun said, "Give them half an hour, and those who don't surrender will be annihilated."

Tian Chaoqun accepted the order and left. Wan Jun thought for a while and said, "Let Bai Wang and Liu Tichun's troops all go to Shangzhou Prefecture."

The order for the dispatch of troops and horses was issued, and all the troops fled eastward on horseback. What Lucheng saw was filled with sadness.

Outside Nanzhao City, facing the fierce offensive of the Chinese army, a Hu man wearing gilded cotton armor was riding on a horse, squinting at the battle situation in the distance.

"It's almost time, let all the troops retreat to the north, and the troops of the King of Pingxi will be cut off."

Immediately, the colorful flags began to move north, and the various fighting groups in the city began to disengage and give way to the blood-stained city.

Wu Sangui and his men covered the retreat of all soldiers and horses, and then slowly retreated north.

Outside Mengjin County, twenty horses pulled a rough cart. The axle was almost a complete pine wood, and a huge object was covered with cloth.

The carriage was escorted by heavy troops and marched hard towards the Yellow River.

After Wu Sangui completed the cutting, he saw this huge thing again, and his heart was still full of doubts, "Is this the destined thing?"

Since ancient times, the Han dynasty has had the theory of destiny, but who would have thought that destiny could be such a dark and strange thing?

The Hu people not only found out, but also snatched this thing away with a grand scene of pretending to attack Sichuan. Is this thing really the destiny?

The guards of the Eight Banners came over with a man in gilt armor. Seeing Wu Sangui looking at the carriage in a daze, he smiled and said, "What is King Pingxi thinking about?"

Wu Sangui came back to his senses and glanced at the person who asked the question. It was Duduo, the commander-in-chief of the southern army and horses. He quickly dismounted and respectfully said, "Wu Sangui comes to see His Highness the Prince."

Duduo said, "No need to be polite, just tell me, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Sangui said, "Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Han people have always had the theory of destiny.

, but this is the first time in history that I can see destiny alive."

Duduo said, "I also thought that destiny was just rhetoric."

Wu Sangui said boldly, "Is this really destiny?"

Duduo looked at Wu Sangui with his narrow eyes and said, "What does King Pingxi mean by these words?"

Wu Sangui said, "I'm just a little worried. Is this thing really worth more than the entire land of Sichuan?"

Duduo hesitated for a moment, "Sichuan's strategic value is indeed important, but seizing the Mandate of Heaven is a strategy approved by the regent."

Duduo waved his hand and said with a smile, "We have reliable information. Wan Jun is just a copycat bandit. He was able to achieve such success in just two years because of this."

Soon the bodyguard came over with a man, Duduo said, "This is General Liu, who provided us with information about Wanjun and the destiny object."

Wu Sangui looked at this man. He was neither tall nor thin, but the general uniform was worn on his body, as if it had been stolen. His back was cringing, and his eyes were full of fear and fawning.

Wu Sangui has seen many such people. The world is full of such humble sand. Wu Sangui is unhappy. Such a big move is just because of such a person's words, "Tell me, how do you know that this thing is destiny?"

?How do you know so many things about Wanjun?"

General Liu rolled his eyes and saw Duduo squinting his eyes and showing no reaction. His back became more and more flinching. He said with a flattering smile, "Returning to King Pingxi, I saw it with my own eyes. Two years ago, that is, Jiashen

In March of that year, an extremely dazzling flying star flew over from the northeastern sky, making a huge dragon roar and falling in the wilderness. Soon there was a red dragon aura soaring into the sky."

Wu Sangui said, "It's ridiculous. What you said is really nonsense. Is there such a weird thing in this world?"

General Liu said, "Everything the villain said is true. If there is even half a lie, the prince will kill eighteen generations of my ancestors."

Wu Sangui said, "Keep talking."

General Liu continued, "The villain was curious and went to check with his neighbor. By then, the dragon had disappeared. There was only the huge dragon egg-like thing and ten thousand troops."

Wu Sangui asked, "He was the first to arrive?"

General Liu said, "He and the two beggars arrived first, but the two beggars were nothing. Only Wan Jun dressed and behaved strangely. He must have received destiny. Soon he killed the leader of the village who came to seize the treasure given by heaven. His subordinates
