"What did you say?!" No matter what, Chi Ligu could not believe that the soldier's words were true. He grabbed the soldier's sleeves, and asked with his eyes wide open.
"The enemy forces have already slaughtered their way into the city. The outside world is in chaos. The tribesmen are fleeing in all directions, and the Celestial Fox Bamboo City has been breached!" The soldier panted and spoke urgently and fearfully to Crimson.
After Primordial heard what the soldier said, he looked up and saw flames shooting into the sky outside the window, howling and howling. Everything was in chaos. After that, he shook off the soldier, took out the curved blade from the scabbard on the bedside table, and shouted, "Slaughter our way out!" and led the group of tribes out the door, rushing out.
As the elite soldiers of the Conviction period, as they did not make a sound, they just chopped at people as they pleased, setting fire to the people in the barrack and causing the people of the Fox Tribe to burn down. This made it so that the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals were the ones who came down to take their lives, and so they all began to trample on each other's feet, killing each other without counting.
Where's the Imperial Advisor?" he asked anxiously, his heart filled with despair. All the soldiers shook their heads, no one told anyone. Without his right-hand man, Milu, he had to fight his way out. However, he was a brave and valiant man with innate divine strength. He shouted "Wuu" above and below the city walls, causing the entire city to shake. This was the order and signal of the Bamboo King, and the language of the Ancient Scarlet Fox was also the language of the Fox Tribe. As soon as this order was given, the panic of the soldiers was immediately suppressed.
When Tian Gan saw that the soldiers suddenly started to act sensibly, he shouted, "Not good!" He was in a hurry to order the soldiers to retreat from Fox Bamboo City.
When they arrived at the entrance of Fox Bamboo City, they saw that the city gate was already closed. On top of the city gate stood a burly and burly man, and when he saw Fan Yicheng's superior army, he immediately shouted loudly and angrily, "Chop this group of outsiders into minced meat and feed them to the wolves!"
The moment the soldiers heard Crimson's order, they immediately rushed down from the towers like wild wolves, rushing towards the army of the upper echelons. The upper mediocre army was alone. Seeing this army of soldiers with green eyes, they all trembled in fear. They continuously retreated, putting up a defensive posture. However, the blades in their hands were trembling.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Tian Gan immediately used the Celestial Dominance Water Fan. With a few swishing sounds, he shot down a few soldiers in the front row, but these soldiers were like monsters without humanity. They were not affected by the soldiers in the front row at all.
If these strange soldiers were to rush over, then the thousand elite soldiers might be chopped into minced meat in an instant. Under such urgent circumstances, Tian Gan thought that only by capturing the bandit leader first would this calamity be resolved. However, just as he was about to fly up to the city gate tower, a shadow suddenly flashed out from the troop. Like a violent wind, it whistled and flew up to the city gate tower.
Who would have thought that someone would dare to charge up the tower alone? Before he could even react, he saw a sword flash past, and Crimson Rage's head separated from its neck, falling down from the tower with a 'gulu' sound.
Due to that figure's sword art being too fast, even though Crimson Rage's body and head were separated, he was not dead for a short period of time. The headless him started to dance and struggle wildly; as a result of his inborn divine strength, the stone pillars on the city gate tower could not help but sway due to the impact of his hands and feet. The rubble and grass on the city gate tower were scattered all over the ground. Blood was flowing out from the broken part of his neck like a fountain as it splattered and dyed the tower with a bright red colour. Not long after, because of the loss of his aura and blood, Primordial finally collapsed on top of the city gate tower with a loud sound.
Tian Gan immediately rushed up to catch the head of Chi Ligu, who was falling down from the sky. The force under his feet moved as if it was made of clouds. It flew up vertically to the top of the city gate tower. Gripping the head of the Crimson Rage in his hands, he shouted to the soldiers who were charging towards the upper echelons of the city gate tower: "Stop! Your king is dead, and his head is here! "The Scarlet Mountain Range has always opposed the Nine Barbarian King, and now that it has been executed, the Nine Barbarian King has no choice. The only culprit for the crime is the Scarlet Mountain Range. As for the rest of us, we should let bygones be bygones if we are able to surrender!"
When the group of soldiers saw the bloody heads of the Scarlet Ancient floating in Tian Gan's hands, and saw that Tian Gan was only able to easily fly up to the city gate tower, they thought that he was a heavenly soldier that had descended to the mortal world. They panicked for a moment, some directly kowtowed in submission, while others scattered as if they had been possessed by an evil spirit. When Fan Yuzheng saw that the army had fallen into chaos, he took the opportunity to shout at the upper mediocre troops, "Those who surrender will not be destroyed, those who resist will be killed!" All of them rushed out like ferocious beasts that had been released from their cages, and restrained all the soldiers that were fleeing in all directions. In a short while, they had subdued all the soldiers who had lost their leader.
Bamboo City had existed for many years in the East of the Nine Barbarians, and the army of the Nine Barbarians had been unable to do anything about it. However, they did not want to be attacked by a group of foreign invaders today.
Just as the upper mediocre army was able to clear up the mess, Tian Gan suddenly remembered the mysterious figure that had taken action to kill Chi Li Gu. As a result, he immediately looked around, but could not find even the slightest trace of that figure. Just as Tian Gan was flabbergasted, he heard someone say, "Brother Tian Gan, this victory is all because of you. This general will reward you well."
Tian Gan turned his head to look and saw that it was the general of the upper mediocre army, Fan Yicheng. Tian Gan was not a vain man, so he did not care about Fan Yicheng's words about the reward. He was only a little disappointed as he said: "It's a pity that the mysterious man was nowhere to be seen."
Tian Gan's words served as a reminder to Fan Yuwen, who said with some regret: "Yes, but I don't know which hero helped me, Fan Yuwen. If I were to meet that person in the future, I would kowtow and thank him."
He knew that he still had more important things to do, so he said to Tian Gan, "Brother Tian Gan, I think we should put this matter aside for now. The most important thing right now is to return to the Nine Barbarians City, report this to the Nine Barbarians King, and then rescue the army and civilians outside the city."
"Mn, what the great general said is true. We'll immediately tidy up this matter and leave Brother Yang here to take care of this matter. We'll head back to the city overnight to report to the Nine Barbarian King."
Fan Yuzhen nodded, and went along with him to issue orders to the soldiers. However, what they did not expect was that in the dark corner, there was a black shadow glaring at them with vicious eyes and grinding his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow them whole. However, he knew that he had lost all of his power, so he shook his sleeves fiercely and left with hatred like a cold wind.
Ever since Chunshen spent many precious treasures in the Qi Kingdom to clear the joint between victory and victory for the prime minister of Qi, he used Zhuang Gong to convince the King of Qi to reject Qin. In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Wangjian had promised to secretly form an alliance under the name of winning the battle. However, to Chunshen, this was already considered as completing his previous deal with Gongsheng Rong, so after he informed Gongsheng Rong and Thief Sheng, he quickly drove the carriage back to Chu Ying.
"Great King, Lord Chun Shen has returned from the Qi Kingdom." The servant took advantage of the time it took for him to wash and change King Chuchu's clothes in the morning to report this matter to him in a soft voice.
"Oh? Chun Shenjun is back? " When Lord Chu heard this, he was both surprised and happy. It had been many days since Chunshen sent out his envoy to the Qi Kingdom and the Qi King avoided him. This made Lord Chu a little worried about Chunshen's situation. He initially wanted to send someone to the Qi Kingdom to find out more about it, but he never expected to hear such a response from a servant. He was naturally overjoyed. Of course, he was looking forward to the good news that Chunshen would bring him from the Qi Kingdom in order to achieve his goal of becoming the next head of the family. Filled with anticipation, he hastily asked the servant, "Where is he now?"
"Lord Chun Shen has returned to Chu from the Qi Kingdom overnight. He has already entered Chu Ying City this morning and is currently waiting outside the palace hall." Seeing Lord Chu's urgent question, the attendant replied softly and fluently.
When Lord Chu heard his servant's words, he stretched out his arms and waited for his attendant to change clothes. Then, he took the brocade clothes from the attendant's hands and quickly put it on, and as he put on his belt, he urged the attendant, "Hurry and bring this king's crown over. This king will call for Chun Shenjun right away."
"Okay." The servant that was initially speaking in a low voice immediately responded to Lord Chu's words when he saw how anxious Lord Chu was. He turned and ran to get Lord Chu's jade crown.
When the servant came to claim the crown, Lord Chu grabbed it and put it on. He tied a gold ribbon around the crown and ordered the servant, "Hurry and summon Chun Shenjun to the palace. There is something important to ask."
"Okay." The servant obeyed the king, and withdrew to call upon Chunshen.
When Lord Chu saw Chun Shen enter, he immediately went to greet him. He held Chun Shen's hands tightly as he said joyfully, "Aiyaya, Chun Shenjun, you're finally back. I've been thinking about you for so many days, you must have suffered a lot."
"He is untalented. I am very tired. I am truly ashamed of my kindness to you!" When Chun Shen saw how kind Lord Chu was to him, he was flattered and immediately kowtowed.
"Hey, Chun Shenjun, you are the pillar of our Chu Dynasty. It is only natural for a few people to worry about your safety. You have been gone for so many days, I wonder if the Qi King ever troubled you? " Lord Chu carried Chun Shen, who was kneeling down, and asked in concern.
"With the King of Chun Shimeng protecting you, the King of Qi would naturally not dare to make things difficult for you." "In addition, this old official has some friendship with the Prime Minister of the Qi Kingdom. The Prince of Qi also wants to form an alliance with our Chu Country, so Chun Shen did not receive any ungracious hospitality during this trip."
"That's good, that's good." When Lord Chu heard Chun Shen's words, he felt much more relieved and nodded repeatedly.
"However, during this mission to the Qi Kingdom, this old subject mentioned to the king that he was rejecting Qin, and because the king was worried that he would break the promise made by the late king and not join forces with the Yan Kingdom, he avoided the old subject for a long time." However, during this mission to the Qi Kingdom, this old subject mentioned to the late king that he was rejecting Qin, and because he was worried that the late king would not join forces with the former king, he avoided the old subject. Chun Shen courteously continued to explain the reason to Lord Chu.
"Hey, Chun Shenjun, what are you talking about? Since you've been held up for so long because of that Qi King, why did you do anything wrong?" Lord Chu first dispelled Chun Shen's guilt, but he was somewhat unhappy with Chun Shen's reply. He had thought that Chun Shen had not succeeded in taking over the Qi Kingdom, so he said, "Since the Qi King refused to agree to the plan, Chun Shenjun must think of a way to send the special envoy of the Yan Kingdom to him. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to us."
When Chun Shen heard Lord Chu's words, he knew that Lord Chu had misunderstood his meaning and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although the Qi King did not want to go against the ancestor's prohibition, this old official used a large sum of money to bribe the Prime Minister of the Qi Kingdom to win.
"Oh? The Qi King has already agreed to this plan? " When Lord Chu heard Chun Shen's words, he could not help but be happy as he anxiously asked Chun Shen for confirmation.
"Exactly." Chunshen bowed to show he was sure.
"Hahaha, Chun Shenjun is indeed worthy of being called a genius of my Chu Feng. I will reward you well for being so alone." When Lord Chu saw Chun Shen's action, he was sure that this matter had been settled, and that the six kingdoms naturally belonged to him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
After he had finished laughing, he suddenly wanted to know more about the matter. He then asked Chun Shen, "Just now, Chun Shenjun said that he managed to convince the Qi King and Hezhong with the matter of Zhuang's mother, I wonder what happened?"
Chun Shen knew that King Chu would ask this question, so he explained to him calmly, "The reason why the Qi King refused to comply was because he had blatantly violated the ancestors' wishes and was scolded by the people. This old official then used the matter of Zhuang Gong's mother as an example and ordered the Qi King to emulate him.
