A trust eagle landed in Yuncheng, and the clerk took out strips of meat and fed it. The trust eagle swallowed it with big mouthfuls, and the clerk took a reed pipe and gave it to Donna.
After reading the letter, Donna's face turned pale with shock and she shouted: "Ask General Yan to assemble in General Yuwen's courtyard, and all generals to assemble in General Yuwen's courtyard!"
The guards were taken aback and called all the generals to gather. It was about to start a war.
The guard hurriedly gave the order, and Donna quickly walked into the courtyard where Yu Wenkai was. Gan Xin and Mo Lin were sparring, and Yu Wenkai was watching.
The two of them changed their right arms. The wounds have fused, but the flexibility is not as good as the original arm. They need continuous practice to adapt.
"Old General, the Martial Saint is here!"
Donna strode in and shouted anxiously.
The arrival of Wu Sheng means that the ghost army is targeting Yuncheng. The most powerful warrior in the city is Yu Wenkai, but Yu Wenkai cannot stop Wu Sheng.
There is no powerful general in the city, and Donna is very anxious.
"Martial Saint is here? Who said that?"
Yu Wenkai was also surprised. Gan Xin and Mo Lin stopped and walked over quickly.
"Why did the Martial Saint come suddenly? It's not snowing yet in winter."
Gan Xin felt strange that winter was the best time for the ghost clan to send troops, and the time had clearly not yet arrived.
Donna said: "There was a secret message from the Sage earlier, saying that the Martial Sage might take advantage of King Wu's absence to sneak attack on Yuncheng and seize the weapons and equipment. Let us strengthen our vigilance to prevent sneak attacks."
"Old General Yuwen knew about this. The two seniors were ill, so I didn't say anything."
Donna would definitely tell Yu Wenkai about such an important thing.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin are still recovering from their injuries, and Donna doesn't want to alarm them.
"Where did King Wu go?"
Mo Lin was very curious. When the two armies were facing each other, Long Chen left. What happened?
Donna said: "I asked around and it is said that Li Chengdao secretly made ordnance in Nanliang and transported it to Shuohai City. King Wu personally went to Shuohai City to destroy the ordnance and intercept and kill Li Chengdao."
Gan Xin and Mo Lin's expressions darkened at the same time.
Li Chengdao's current cultivation level is not low. If Li Chengdao brings helpers, Long Chen is afraid that he will be in danger.
"Where did the news come from?"
Yu Wenkai's face was solemn. Wu Sheng personally led the troops to attack, but he didn't dare to say that he would be able to block it.
"The news sent back by Feng He."
Donna reported back immediately.
Yu Wenkai thought for a while and said: "Feng He sent us a message, and he will definitely send a message to Yanmen Pass to see what the arrangements are at Yanmen Pass."
"If you can't defeat Long Chen, you just want to lure the tiger away from the mountain. This martial saint has fallen."
Yu Wenkai suddenly felt a little funny. Wu Sheng actually tried every means to deceive Long Chen before he dared to attack. This showed that Wu Sheng admitted that he was not Long Chen's opponent.
Four hundred years ago, Wu Sheng was never afraid when facing Long Yuan.
Four hundred years later, he was actually scared by Long Chen.
"Old General, what should we do?"
Donna waited for Yu Wenkai to make up his mind.
Outside the door, Yan Gang came in with more than fifty generals and filled the courtyard.
The newly arrived generals didn't know the situation, so Donna turned around and briefly explained the situation. More than fifty generals were frightened.
"Martial Saint personally led the troops to attack? How can we resist?"
"Does King Wu know about this? Will King Wu provide reinforcements?"
"What's going on over there at Yanmen Pass? Will the Holy One provide reinforcements?"
Everyone was noisy and in a panic.
Donna was unhappy and said in a cold voice: "Quiet, what do you look like! The ghost clan has seen it before, it's just like that, what are you afraid of!"
When the general fell silent, Donna looked at Yu Wenkai and asked, "Old general, what do you think?"
Yu Wenkai smiled and said: "Martial Saint came in person, with 30,000 soldiers and horses. He probably doesn't have many veterans. The rest are barbarians who have just been captured."
"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are good, but the Martial Saint cannot defeat them."
This is what worries Donna. If the general is not good enough, no one can stop the Martial Saint.
The generals were silent. Yu Wenkai couldn't defeat him, let alone them.
"Can you ask King Wu for reinforcements?"
a young general asked.
Donna glared at the young general, who stepped back and did not dare to say anything.
If Long Chen can be given reinforcements, he won't be so passive.
"Don't panic, just prepare for war. That kid Long Chen should be able to guess the sneak attack from the Martial Saint."
"Don't worry, if Martial Saint comes to Yuncheng, Long Chen can also come."
"No matter what happens, there are still three old bones of us carrying it, so you don't have to be afraid."
Yu Wenkai stood up with a smile, and the general in the yard felt a little more at ease.
Donna, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin were even more worried.
Yu Wenkai's meaning is very obvious. No one can stop him here. If Long Chen can arrive in time, this battle can be fought; if Long Chen can't arrive in time, it will be over.
"Go get ready."
Yu Wenkai smiled, and Donna asked Yan Gang to prepare for the battle.
All the soldiers in Yuncheng knew that Wu Sheng was coming, and they all began to prepare for battle.
...
Yanmen Pass.
Feng He's letter arrived in the hands of the empress, who immediately summoned Wu Jian, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi to discuss it.
"Feng He sent an urgent report. Wu Sheng led 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the Hera Pass and are heading towards Yuncheng. Only Yu Wenkai can defend Yuncheng."
The empress is sitting at the head, with Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi on the left, and Wu Jian on the right.
"The Martial Saint has really come out?"
Wu Jian heard from Long Chen that the ghost clan might sneak up on him while he was away, but he didn't expect that they would actually come.
Di Luoxi said: "I led troops to reinforce him, but the ants killed the elephant. I don't believe I can't kill him."
The empress remained silent.
If an elephant tramples thousands of ants to death, how many of their generals can die?
"What I want is that you guard Yanmen Pass while I go there myself."
To deal with the true state, one must have true masters. It would be useless for Di Luoxi and the others to go there, they would just die in vain.
"What if they raid Yanmen Pass again?"
Di Lingyi asked worriedly.
Soldiers never tire of deceit, so what if the Martial Saint changes his marching route midway and attacks Yanmen Pass?
The empress said: "It should be Yuncheng. The purpose of Wu Sheng's trip is to arrest people and obtain weapons. Yuncheng is closer, and Wu Sheng will not sacrifice the near for the distant."
Wu Sheng took advantage of Long Chen's absence to launch a sneak attack, so he had to pursue speed.
Yanmen Pass is too far from the Hera Pass. If Wu Sheng raids Yanmen Pass, Long Chen will have enough time to rush back and Wu Sheng's plan will fail.
Therefore, the Empress expected that the Martial Saint's target was Yuncheng.
"My mother is going alone, what if the ghost girl is there too?"
Di Luoxi was very worried. The empress's cultivation was not enough to resist the Martial Saint. If the ghost girl was there, the empress would be in great danger.
"Don't worry, Long Chen can get back in time."
The empress smiled and comforted the three people.
Everyone knew that the Empress was speaking words of relief. No one knew where Long Chen was now, and no one knew whether Long Chen could arrive in time.
"My son, my son, and my mother will go together."
Di Luoxi insisted on going, and Di Lingyi also insisted on going.
Wu Jian said: "Your Majesty, except for the three thousand demon dragon camp in Yuncheng, the rest are ordinary warriors. Facing the ghost tribe, I am afraid that I will not be able to support them. I will request that I bring 30,000 elite soldiers to follow me on the expedition."
Di Luoxi echoed: "Yes, Yuncheng does not have elite soldiers, so it is no match for the ghost soldiers. I am willing to lead the army."
Emperor Lingyi said: "My son is willing to be a pioneer."
The empress said: "If you leave, there will be no generals guarding Yanmen Pass. I can just bring 20,000 elite troops. You can stay at Yanmen Pass without further discussion!"
The empress issued an order, and Di Luoxi and the others could not resist the order.
"Okay, I will set off immediately. Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting will accompany the army, and the rest will guard Yanmen Pass."
The empress stood up, Wu Jian left the room, and immediately ordered 20,000 troops. Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting immediately followed the empress on the expedition.
