Master Ziyun received the secret letter and opened it. It was from Long Chen.
"What did you say? Who will you let go this time?"
The owner of Miaoyin turned sideways to take a look.
Master Ziyun read it and said: "The ghosts are attacking Beiling City. This guy asked Luo Xi and Ling Yi to reinforce him."
Long Chen knew that Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi had broken through the Emperor Zun and there were no generals available in front, so he just let them go on the expedition.
The owner of Miaoyin said: "In fact, we can let Luo Xi and Ling Yi practice here, and the two of us can go there."
Master Ziyun said with a smile: "This guy misses his wife. What does the two of us mean in the past?"
Master Ziyun stood up and entered the secret practice room, where Di Luoxi and others sat practicing.
Master Ziyun walked up to Di Luoxi and patted her gently. Di Luoxi opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
The owner of Miaoyin Tower woke up Di Lingyi, and the two of them followed him out of the secret room.
"How does it feel to practice?"
Master Ziyun asked with a smile.
Di Luoxi said: "My cultivation level has reached the level of Emperor Zun, but after the true energy enters my blood, I feel that my cultivation level has dropped."
The owner of Miaoyin said: "Yes, there will be this process. If you pursue combat effectiveness, you can skip the introduction of true energy into the blood and directly practice Qi and blood to break the pulse."
Emperor Lingyi asked: "But wouldn't it be impossible to break through to the true realm?"
Master Miaoyin nodded and said: "It will affect it, so it is a necessary stage for the true energy to enter the blood."
Cultivation methods have advantages and disadvantages, and there are no shortcuts.
It depends on what Di Luoxi and the others choose.
"Does Master have something to do with us?"
Di Luoxi asked.
If there is no emergency, Master Ziyun will not disturb their cultivation.
The owner of Miaoyin said: "King Wu asked you to reinforce Beiling City. Li Xinan has just occupied the city, and Yan Xi and Wu Hongying have led troops to besiege it. The situation is quite troublesome."
Di Luoxi said in surprise: "Li Xiannan captured Beiling City? When did it happen?"
When they were in seclusion, Linhu City had not yet been conquered. Now that they came out, Beiling City had been captured by Li Xiannan.
Di Luoxi felt a little anxious. She was worried that by the time she was practicing, the battle would have been over.
Di Lingyi had the same sense of urgency and said: "We practice behind closed doors and have no idea what's going on outside. How is the situation now?"
Master Ziyun explained the situation on the battlefield. Di Luoxi was surprised and said: "We actually captured Linhu City. If we don't go out to fight, the battle will be over."
"I'll take a shower, change my clothes and leave."
Di Lingyi also went back to take a shower and change clothes.
After changing into their coats and armor, the two of them rushed to Beiling City immediately, fearing that they would not be able to catch up with the battle.
...
To the east of Beiling City.
Yan Xi and Wu Hongying set up camp to rest, and the spies returned to the Chinese army's tent and reported: "General Qi, Long Chen is not in the city. The one leading the troops is Wu Jian, who is using Long Chen's banner as reinforcements."
Wu Hongying was a little annoyed and cursed: "It turned out to be a fake eunuch, I thought Long Chen was really here!"
If he had known that the reinforcements were led by Wu Jian, Wu Hongying would have dared to lead the troops to fight back.
Yan Xi chuckled and said: "It was actually Wu Jian who commanded the troops. We were frightened by Long Chen and ran away when we saw the dragon-charactered military flag."
"It's not our fault. Who makes Long Chen so powerful? If he really leads the army himself, I'll give up waiting."
"It's not that Long Chen is the best. Wu Jian leads the troops and is just a eunuch. Let the brothers rest well and continue the attack tomorrow."
It's definitely not Long Chen, Yan Xi has the confidence to attack.
Wu Hongying cursed: "I will definitely take Wu Jian's dog head tomorrow!"
...
Zhongwucheng.
The messenger returned to the city and carefully explained the story of the afternoon letter.
Long Chen accepted the letter of challenge, but did not reply, nor did he say whether to fight or not. Xu Feng was confused.
In the afternoon, I will usually accept the challenge, and it will be quite straightforward.
Long Chen ignored it, Xu Feng had never encountered such a situation.
"What does that guy mean?"
Xu Feng asked the messenger, and the messenger said: "I see that Long Chen has no intention of accepting the challenge."
Xu Feng was very depressed and waved his hand for the messenger to go down.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Feng entered the backyard of the General's Mansion, where Li Chengdao was meditating.
"The general will pay homage to the emperor."
Xu Feng bowed down very respectfully.
Others did not respect Li Chengdao, but Xu Feng was very loyal to Li Chengdao.
"Why, Long Chen didn't accept the challenge?"
Li Chengdao smiled.
After the ghost fetus appeared, Li Chengdao rarely smiled.
Xu Feng said depressingly: "The war was declared and I was scolded, but the guy just didn't come."
Li Chengdao said: "Long Chen is full of tricks. If you want to plot against him, it's not that easy."
"I want to use words to motivate him to fight, but I don't think it's realistic."
Xu Feng asked: "What does your Majesty think the general should do?"
Li Chengdao said: "Take the initiative to fight. The army will march to the foot of Linhu City. When the troops are at the foot of the city, Long Chen will not go to fight until they reach the edge of the trench."
Xu Feng said in embarrassment: "But...if this happens, we will be the ones attacking the city."
Li Chengdao said: "Yes, the offensive and defensive dynamics have changed. We attack and he defends."
"You can write to Guidi and ask him to hold the battle in person, while the black-armored army takes the vanguard."
Guite wanted to sit in the back and let Li Chengdao fight desperately on the front line.
Li Chengdao, in turn, forced Guitai to take action.
"The general will finally understand, so he will write a letter asking for war."
Xu Feng immediately wrote a battle report and sent it to Qingren County, asking Gui Tai to allow the Black Armor Army to take the initiative to fight.
In an attic in the city, Xuanjizi was playing with Chunxiu, cursing.
"You have to take me with you wherever you go. It's really unlucky."
Xuanjizi took a sip of wine and felt very dissatisfied with the ghost fetus.
Marching and fighting are the general's business. He just wants to follow the ghost, eat, drink and hang out with women.
Forget about following him to Linhu City last time, after all, he was kneeling there.
This time he was asked to follow Li Chengdao again, and Guitai was very dissatisfied.
"Just say a few words and it will be fine for the two of us to be together."
Chunxiu was very afraid of the ghost fetus, and she was worried that it would not end well if the ghost fetus heard her words.
"Besides, you may not be able to fight here, so just treat it as a place to play."
Chunxiu comforted Xuanjizi, and Xuanjizi was right to think about it. Xu Feng asked for a fight, but Long Chen might not accept it.
"Yes, let's go out and have fun."
Xuanjizi carried Chunxiu to bed.
...
Beiling City.
Wu Jian and Li Xiannan stood at the east city gate, while Yan Xi and Wu Hongying rode to the city gate, with 180,000 troops arrayed behind them.
Li Xiannan ordered the east city gate to be opened, and Wu Jian led a group of generals out of the city to meet the enemy.
"Yan Xi, long time no see!"
Wu Jian looked at Yan Xi and remembered the time when he was in the Long Family Army.
Yan Xi looked at Wu Jian coldly and said disdainfully: "Wu Jian is just a soldier of the Long family army, and now he is acting like a general."
Wu Jian once had a low status indeed, and was not outstanding among the generals of the Long Family Army.
Being able to reach today's position and become the army commander is all due to Long Chen's support and care.
Yan Xi is different. He has status and has been a general of the Forbidden Army for a long time, so Yan Xi looks down on Wu Jian.
Wu Hongying also sarcastically said: "Monkeys wear human clothes, wild dogs wear human hats, they just look like humans."
