Sun Yu always only focused on cultivation and did not care about the war.
The Jin people took this opportunity to attack aggressively, constantly conquering cities and territories, and soon had most of Qingzhou firmly in their hands.
However, because of Sun Yu's previous order to retreat and defend, the generals did not suffer any losses.
They continuously tightened their front lines and continuously reduced the defensive area.
In the end, a heavily guarded iron barrel fortress was formed at the Danjiang stronghold.
The Jin people fought on multiple fronts and could not spare more manpower at the same time. They also knew that this place was difficult to capture, so they did not choose to attack rashly.
Suddenly, the situation in Qingzhou reached a deadlock again.
this day.
A tightly covered, driverless black carriage drove out of Bingzhou.
It was still on the official road at first, but then the road it took became more and more remote.
Finally, we entered the Qingzhou wilderness.
What's even more strange is that the Daqian soldiers patrolling around didn't seem to see it and allowed the carriage to pass by.
The carriage kept moving forward, and finally it came to the place where the Jin men were stationed and stopped quietly.
Not long after, Zhong Ying, the scholar-looking Jin Army advisor, came over from a short distance away.
He stood in front of the carriage, bowed slightly, and smiled with a hint of mockery:
"Welcome to His Majesty the Crown Prince."
despair.
There was a soft sound and the carriage door was opened.
Li Zhongyou, the former crown prince of Daqian, stepped out of the carriage and frowned:
"Where is King Zhenhai?"
Zhong Ying still stared at the carriage:
"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
Li Zhongyou ordered in a cold voice: "Why don't you take me to see him?"
Zhong Ying didn't even look at him, he just curled his lips and said:
"It's not you that the prince wants to see."
"you!"
Li Zhongyou's expression changed, and his aura suddenly exploded.
At this moment.
"Okay, You'er, follow me."
A pleasant voice came from the carriage, and then a woman wearing a tulle to cover her face came out.
"Now, take us to see King Zhenhai."
Li Zhongyou restrained his breath and said in a deep voice.
"Extremely happy."
Zhong Ying saluted the woman and then left with the two of them...
"Why did you come?"
In the tent, Zhenhai King Wanyan Guyu stands with his hands behind his back.
Li Zhongyou, who had just entered it, said:
"I wait……"
"I didn't ask you." Wanyan Guyu interrupted.
Li Zhongyou's eyes widened in anger, and the woman behind him said:
"Your Majesty, we come here with sincerity."
"Sincerity?" King Zhenhai turned around and asked with a chuckle:
"Haha, then tell me what you can bring to me."
"Three overseas states." The woman stared at King Zhenhai and said softly:
"I can guarantee that when the gold army enters the country, they will not encounter any obstacles."
King Zhenhai’s eyes lit up slightly:
"Haha, it's interesting. I heard that Concubine Chen's father's family is the emperor of three overseas states. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is true."
Concubine Chen just smiled:
"I didn't expect that King Zhenhai would be so familiar with me, Da Gan."
"Da Gan...hehe."
Wanyan Guyu didn't wait for the other party to reply and asked again:
"Whose idea is this? Yours? Or the emperor who clings to Jingzhou?"
"I mean it personally." Concubine Chen said in a low voice, and then added:
"It's also what my family means."
After hearing this, Wanyan Guyu nodded slightly and asked again:
"So, what do you want from me?"
"Qizhou." Concubine Chen returned quickly. She had obviously been prepared.
"Exchanging three overseas states for just one Qizhou?"
Wanyan Guyu was a little surprised, this was obviously an unequal transaction.
"Not bad." Concubine Chen nodded.
"reason."
"It's just a mother's obsession."
Concubine Chen gently placed her delicate white jade hands on Li Zhongyou.
"Oh, mother?"
Wanyan Guyu glanced at the two of them, then nodded and said:
"No problem, I can promise you, but before that,
You need to gain my trust first."
"What do you want us to do?"
Wanyan Guyu casually opened a military order beside him:
"A few days ago, my men suffered heavy losses in Qingzhou. The general stationed there seems to be another prince, Sun Yu."
Hearing the name, Li Zhongyou, who was standing aside, clenched his fists involuntarily.
If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have been demoted from the position of prince in the first place.
Let alone appear here and be wantonly humiliated by the Jin people.
"Bring him to me, and then our deal will begin."
Wanyan Guyu said casually.
"I promised!"
Li Zhongyou spoke immediately.
However, King Zhenhai smiled disdainfully.
He just looked at Concubine Chen, waiting for this woman to make a decision.
He could clearly sense that the two strong men who followed the carriage had all their attention on Concubine Chen.
As for the deposed prince? Apparently it doesn't matter.
"I agreed."
Concubine Chen nodded seriously.
"see a visitor out."
King Zhenhai gave an order, and military advisor Zhong Ying immediately led the two men away from the place.
…
On the carriage ride back.
Li Zhongyou asked in a deep voice:
"Mom, is this really worth it?"
Concubine Chen immediately replied:
"Of course it's worth it. It's three states overseas and far away from home. It doesn't hurt to give it to the Jin people.
But as long as you can recapture Qizhou, you can regain your position as prince again!
You must know that your father is dying, this time, you must rule the world!"
"Is this really necessary?" Li Zhongyou was a little unwilling:
"Cooperating with Wanyan Bone Jade is like seeking the skin of a tiger!"
He could see the ambition in the other person's eyes. Just three overseas states were obviously not able to satisfy that guy.
Concubine Chen comforted her:
"Don't be afraid of him. After you ascend the throne and be able to command the world, why are you afraid of him, a mere golden prince?"
"Really?" Li Zhongyou said coldly:
"If that's the case, why can he still occupy my land of three states?"
Concubine Chen's eyes showed a hint of undetectable worry:
"Your father has no time to care for himself, he is too injured.
Without him as the backbone, all the forces have started to think carefully, but as long as you can ascend the throne, everything will change.
I will do my best to help you stabilize the situation and remove all obstacles.
As for the Zhenhai King, he is just the bigger one among them."
Li Zhongyou's eyes were fiery for a moment, and he suddenly said:
"In this case, even if we don't have the position of prince, we will still be able to control Daqian after our father's death, so why bother looking for that golden man?"
Concubine Chen immediately shook her head and said:
"As the saying goes, if you don't have the title of prince, you are treason.
Those old guys in the court will not agree, if they stop it, it will only make things more troublesome!"
"I see."
Li Zhongyou took a deep breath and then made a decision. He said seriously:
"However, I have to take action myself on Sun Yu's side."
Concubine Chen shook her head and said:
"No, I will send someone there. He has a very high prestige in the military now, and he must be protected by experts. You can't do it just by relying on you."
"But..." Li Zhongyou was unwilling to give up.
"It's nothing to worry about. Just go back to Jingzhou and wait. I'll leave this place to you."
Concubine Chen hugged Li Zhongyou and said softly...
…
At the same time, Danjiang stronghold.
Sun Yu, who had just finished the simulation, raised an arc at the corner of his mouth:
"Li Zhongyou, Concubine Chen?
Haha, interesting, I just happened to have almost used the Five Elements Stone."
…
night.
Over the Danjiang Stronghold.
"Then Sun Yu is here?"
Chen Chu, who had curly black hair, asked.
He and Zhou Xi beside him were both sent by Imperial Concubine Chen to capture Sun Yu.
"That's right, the two of us can rush in directly?"
"There's no need to make it so big." Chen Chu shook his head and suggested:
"Sneak in secretly and don't let anyone notice. After all, it's not something that can be done in public."
Zhou Xi immediately laughed and said:
"Haha, I'm the best at catching people stealthily. He's just a little guy from the Celestial Realm. You wait here and I'll come back as soon as I go."
"Well, be careful as there are many experts in the army, don't let the news leak out."
Chen Chu did not refuse. He had great trust in this partner.
The two have cooperated for more than forty years, both are at the sixth level of breaking the sky, and they have many methods.
Among thousands of troops, isn't it easy to catch a little guy?
"Haha, don't worry, these guys of seventh and eighth level can't find me yet!"
As soon as Zhou Xi finished speaking, he plummeted downwards.
…
"This is it."
It's like entering Zhou Xi in a deserted place and arriving in front of Sun Yu's tent.
He opened the door curtain. Although there were no lights here, he could still see a figure sitting cross-legged in the darkness.
"Haha, the little guy really doesn't have any sense of defense at all."
Zhou Xi sneered, then flashed his body and stretched out his right hand like electricity.
But as soon as he caught the figure, he felt something was wrong.
The weight in the hand is too light!
"This is... a dummy!"
He exclaimed, feeling something was wrong.
At this moment, Sun Yu's voice suddenly sounded from behind him:
"Who told you this was a dummy?"
"What!"
Zhou Xi's expression changed wildly and he suddenly turned around.
There was actually another person in the big tent, but he didn't notice it just now!
Master! Absolute master!
He didn't have any thoughts of resistance, and his first reaction was to escape from here.
But the next moment,
laugh.
The sound of the air being torn apart suddenly sounded.
The insect body, filled with pale blood, carried the Guigu knife and stabbed Zhou Xi's body from behind.
Zhou Xi suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and then all the energy in his body was instantly cut off by a strange burst of blood energy.
"This is...the power of the Jinren's bloodline! Damn it! Wanyan Bone Jade is actually...what! It's you!"
As the figure walked out of the darkness, Zhou Xi's eyes widened immediately.
The master that he couldn't find and was so afraid that he wanted to run away immediately was actually the target of his trip!
"Sun Yu, why is it you...um..."
Zhou Xi cried out in horror.
However, before he could finish his words, the insect covered his mouth.
"Shh! Be quiet and don't disturb others."
Following Sun Yu's whisper, the blade in the insect's hand turned.
Everything in Zhou Xi's body was completely minced, and then a burst of white flames rose up, completely burning the body.
"Breaking the Sky Realm, nothing more than that."
Sun Yu looked at Hui Jin on the ground and chuckled, then disappeared in a flash.
…
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Waiting in the sky, Chen Chu gradually felt that something was wrong.
It was just a kid from the Celestial Realm, so it took a long time.
Is it possible that Zhou Xi has met a master?
Chen Chu frowned and stared at the Danjiang stronghold below, thinking and waiting for a while.
If there was still no movement, he would go down and see the situation personally.
"Are you waiting for me?" Sun Yu's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Who is it?" Chen Chu's hair stood on end and his whole body jumped up.
He subconsciously turned around and slapped him.
boom!
However, this shocking slap hit the empty space.
Apart from the stars in the sky, where else could he see anyone else?
"Oops!"
Chen Chu broke into a cold sweat instantly.
Able to sneak up behind him and disappear in an instant...
This kind of strength is no longer something he can compete with.
That is to say...
"Yes, your mission failed."
Sun Yu's ghostly figure appeared behind Chen Chu again, and gently put his hand on the other person's shoulder.
Just this moment made Chen Chu's whole body freeze instantly.
He stood there dumbly, not daring to move, and even more sophistry:
"Here, my lord, I don't know where I have offended you..."
"Sir? Interesting."
Sun Yu turned to the other party and asked with a smile:
"Now, do you know where you offended me?"
"Sun, Sun Yu...how could it be..."
puff!
Before the horrified look appeared on Chen Chu's face, Sun Yu penetrated his heart.
Then a fire light lit up from the sky, and countless ash fell from the sky like snow.
"Tsk, let's go one more time."
Sun Yu's figure flew rapidly to the east...
"Aren't you going back yet? You'er?"
In the temporary residence, Concubine Chen asked softly.
"No." Li Zhongyou looked towards the Danjiang stronghold in the distance:
"I want to see with my own eyes that Chen Chu and the others catch Sun Yu before leaving."
Concubine Chen smiled and said:
“Don’t worry, they are always reliable in what they do.”
"Yes, I know." Li Zhongyou nodded slightly, but then a trace of worry appeared on his face:
"But I don't know why, but I always have an inexplicable feeling in my heart, as if something dangerous is about to happen."
"You should obey what you feel in your heart."
"What!"
Li Zhongyou's expression suddenly changed.
The voice just now did not belong to Concubine Chen, but it sounded more like...
"Sun Yu! You, why are you here!"
Sun Yu walked out of the darkness, did not answer the other party, just shrugged and said:
"I thought you would learn to be smarter, but I didn't expect you to still be so ignorant."
"Where are Chen Chu and the others?"
Li Zhongyou already had an answer in his mind, but he still asked in disbelief.
Sun Yu walked to the other party and stopped, casually took a small piece of stained ash from his clothes and said:
"That's probably all they have left."
"You killed them!"
Li Zhongyou couldn't believe it, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily.
Sun Yu saw all this, smiled and patted his cheek:
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, I'm not that bloodthirsty."
"Your Highness Sun Yu, I wonder what the purpose of visiting late at night is?"
At this time, Concubine Chen spoke.
She had already taken off the gauze on her face, unlike Li Zhongyou.
There was no surprise or fear on her soft face, instead it was as calm as water.
Sun Yu asked with a smile:
"It turns out to be Concubine Chen. I wonder what you and the eldest prince are doing here late at night?"
"I am doing something." Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows and said coldly:
"Do I need to report to you too?"
"Of course there is no need." Sun Yu shook his head:
"However, I would also like to ask the noble concubine to come with me."
"Where to go?"
"Of course it's the stronghold of Danjiang. The Jin people are at war here, so it's better not to accidentally injure the empress."
"No, it's good for me to be here."
Concubine Chen rolled up her sleeves and sat down, obviously not intending to be obedient.
Sun Yu spread his hands with some regret and said:
"Then I have to do it myself."
"Sun Yu, don't forget that I am a noble concubine, and disrespecting me means disrespecting the emperor."
Concubine Chen's face had no expression, and her voice was still so calm, even when she was threatening others.
"Yes, yes." Sun Yu smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"I know you are a noble concubine, a noble concubine who is seeking help from a golden man."
"What! You...how did you know!"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Chen, who had been so calm just now, as if it had nothing to do with her, finally changed her expression.
"Haha, please, 'Empress'!"
Sun Yu specially emphasized the word empress.
After a brief silence, Concubine Chen took Li Zhongyou and followed Sun Yu to the Danjiang stronghold...
