ninety-five, red han army
The capital of Muzhou, with clouds stretching across the sky, covering the sun. The bright red flags danced on the city walls, and under the city are countless corpses thrown into the moat.
Thousands of people in the city gathered spontaneously next to the street to welcome the army into the city. The army slowly entered the city, and each of them had red scarves on their arms, blood red.
The leaders were five people side by side, of different ages, wearing feather armor and riding a horse in front.
"Since three months ago, we fought day and night, we have captured the place. Look at the people, we are welcoming us." A middle-aged man with a long beard and vicissitudes of appearance smiled happily.
"I can't be happy. The King Envoy said before that there are still millions of troops in the Tianwu Dynasty scattered everywhere, and we are far from able to fight against their army." Another thin man took off his helmet and responded.
"Hmph." The long-bearded man smiled unevenly and looked at a stubborn and eight-foot-tall anti-axe man who was walking beside him, saying, "Mangzi, you have made great contributions this time. If one person defeated their 10,000 troops, only you can do it."
"Haha, wherever you are, I just follow the orders of the road." The strong man called the ruffian smiled honestly.
"Okay, stop being in trouble, let's go to Muzhou Prefecture to take a look." The youngest among the five people spoke. Although he had a little accent in his words, his whole body still showed the style of a leader.
Others stopped talking, and it seemed that the young people were the most prestigious among them.
"Ma Ying, take the soldiers to rest and do not disturb the residence."
"Yes." The response to the young man was a girl who had not yet grown up. She was full of heroism and looked brave and good at fighting. Unfortunately, a hideous scar on her face ruined her appearance.
"I understand, brother. Come with me!" Ma Ying raised the spear that had not dried up in his hand, and led the soldiers behind him to split into two groups and left the street.
When the young man stepped into Muzhou Prefecture, the yard in front of the door was scattered all over the ground, and things that he had no time to take away.
"Tsk, these people are greedy for life and fear of death." The long-bearded man cursed when he saw this.
"General! General!" An old man knelt in the yard with a group of servants and begged: "Please let us go. The master has already taken away with his family. There is no valuable thing left in the mansion. We are just servants serving the old man. We have been bought by the master and have never done anything bad. Please let us go!"
The young man stepped forward to help the old man up and said to the servants behind him, "Stand up." The servants raised their heads in fear and stood up in pairs and threes.
"Have you heard of the rules of our Red Han Army? You don't steal the people, but only kill corrupt officials. Only where the Red Han Army is, there will be no slaves who sell their bodies. All the contracts for selling their bodies will be invalidated from us. If you have food and money, you will never be greedy."
After the young man said loudly, the old man knelt down and cried, "You are really the great benefactor sent by the Lord of Heaven and Earth to save us!"
The others knelt down again and kowtowed to the young man and others.
He Ciyan, who came out of Haoxi City, drew troops from the prefecture all the way. When he arrived at the border of Muzhou, the number of troops was no less than 400,000. The 400,000 troops marched all the way at night, and the torches lit up spread across the mountains and the sea of stars everywhere.
Ling Xi and others were flying in the sky in Hongjing, occasionally looking down, and the endless fire seemed to swallow them. It seemed that the sky and the earth were turning over. The sky was under their feet, and the earth was above their heads.
He Ciyan sat cross-legged on Hongjing's back and concentrated on practicing, swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, and Yuanwei was guarding the side. He Li'an had no interest in practicing at all, so he took out a few small jade artifacts to play with in his hands, and spent time.
Ling Xi occasionally poked out his soul, swept the mountains below, and carefully felt the touch of the soul. The feeling of the soul is indeed extremely wonderful, just like Ling Xi's hand can touch those things that the soul detects at any time.
The soul cannot detect the color, which is Ling Xi’s most regrettable thing, which is normal, otherwise the soul will be almost equivalent to the perverted perspective ability.
Ling Yingxi knelt aside, and from time to time he spoke to correct the improper use of Ling Xi's soul. Xiao Ling was quietly sinking in the sea of consciousness, as if he did not exist.
A thunder struck by, tearing half of the sky. He Ciyan woke up when he heard the thunder, and was obviously not used to the noisy environment.
"You are not practicing?" Yuan Wei asked when he saw this.
He Ciyan shook his head and said, "I am harassed like this, and I can't finish running for a week. What kind of practice is there?" He turned to look at Ling Xi and shouted, "Ling Xi, come here, I'll talk to you."
Ling Xi didn't hear what He said clearly. She patted Hongjing's back twice and signaled that it would support the spiritual shield a little larger.
Hongjing knew how to increase the output of spiritual power, and a translucent spiritual power cover rose above his back to isolate the strong wind in the air.
"I'll let you come over and talk to you about the evil people."
Ling Xi only heard what He Ciyan said at this time, and got up and came to He Ciyan's side.
"I want to talk to you about the evil people. These people could not cause any storms, and a group of unorganized mortals could not make up the sky."
"But now." Ling Xi asked.
"Now the royal court intervenes. They have used special means to improve the realm of those evil people, and our local army cannot stop them.
"Special means?" Ling Xi remembered the things he encountered in the Western Regions again. Wang Ting actually possessed Tian Ni's cultivation method, which made him unable to let go and could not figure out the reason.
He said with a pause and then said, "In short, five evil people have been cultivated, and there are special envoys sent by the royal court. We cannot easily destroy them."
"How many of us can break through?"
"The father gave me only four people, and the others had to guard the palace. In addition to the Yuanwei, we had five people who could break through the realm and were only left to deal with the special envoy of the royal court." He Ciyan was worried about this and wanted to wait for the support of Guyun Sect. Unexpectedly, only Ling Xi came, so he had to send troops.
"Don't worry about this." Ling Xi smiled and pressed his palm on Hongjing's back.
"It?" He Ci was skeptical. How could a ferocious beast that could break through the realm be so docile?
"Whether you believe it or not, it's all true."
"Do you know that those five evil people who can break through the realm and your acquaintances?" He Ciyan took out two portraits and spread them for Ling Xi to check them out.
Ling Xi observed carefully and found that it was Ma Lu and Ma Ying. He couldn't help but hold on to the portrait. Whenever he thought of the brother and sister, he felt guilty. He killed the two brothers and sisters in the village back then, and displaced the two brothers and sisters.
Ling Xi was not surprised that they would join the Red Han Army, but was surprised that they could actually become a breakthrough.
"The kind of exercise they practiced is called Tian Ni. I don't know where Wang Ting got this evil skill, but their own people also practice it."
"Is Tian Ni?" He Ci's tone of words was full of deep meaning, and he looked at Ling Xi with a smile: "I have heard of this martial art."
Ling Xi was scared and sweated in a cold sweat, looking at Ling Yingxi. She was reminiscing about the past with He Li'an, but she didn't pay attention to Ling Xi's side.
"She doesn't know? No wonder. To be honest, I'm very disappointed with you. The person I like is actually a self-esteem waste." He Ci said to himself and mocked Ling Xi.
"You also need a waste to help." Ling Xi replied.
He Ciyan seemed to be just a joke, looking at the lightening sky, accompanied by the dripping raindrops, and said, "Since that's the case, are you interested in helping me with something?"
"What?"
"As my envoy, go and negotiate with them."
"You are crazy." Ling Xi couldn't help but say. Since He Ciyan knew about the affairs between him and his two siblings, he still wanted to let him go, which was tantamount to letting him die.
"Only by destroying these people, we can help Guyun Sect attack the royal court." He said bluntly: "This group of people is immortal, and we are the ones who have been destroyed. I know that you don't regard yourself as a member of the Tianwu Empire, but at least this country has raised you for 16 years and will send you to Guyun Sect with your own hands."
"Okay, whatever you say, I'll go." Ling Xi agreed helplessly. The favor that was sent to Guyun Sect was also due to repayment.
"However, I also asked for something that will keep me safe when I arrive."
"You can choose whatever I can give you." He Ciyan spread his hands and let Ling Xi speak.
Ling Xi set his eyes on the Dragon Hall sword held in Yuanwei's arms: "That sword."
"I can give it to you." He Ciyan smiled slightly when he heard this: "If you can solve those evil people, you can give this sword to you."
"The disasters of evil people are all caused by one's own fault. If this continues, you will not be able to protect this country." Ling Xi took the Longtang sword thrown by Yuanwei and exhorted Chao He.
"Now the father is in charge of the government, and I can't do anything." He sighed: "He has more important things to develop. As his descendant, these public grievances can only be resolved after I ascend the throne."
"It's probably too late by then."
Under the moonlit night, one person put away the letter and rode on the back of the big bird. The big bird spread its wings and flew in the sky, rushing straight towards Hongjing.
"Repay! The people who are infamous will have their trust to you!"
The big bird flew parallel to Hongjing. The messenger on the big bird's back took out a letter and was taken over by Yuanwei with his soul.
He Ciyan opened the letter paper and saw it from the beginning, with a expressionless face.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" He Li'an saw that the letter was sent up and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Uncle Second, they have just captured the capital of Muzhou, and now they have occupied the entire Muzhou, with a force of 700,000." He Ci said in a long time ago: "Sure enough, those local bureaucrats cannot deal with the evil people."
"Ah?! What to do this...?" He Li'an was at a loss and panicked.
"Don't worry. Second uncle, you are the general of the left army. You can't panic anyone who panics. General Lingli is still commanding the troops below. You have to show the face our He family should have." He Ci smiled and persuaded, burning the letter paper to ashes with Yuan Ling, and saying to the messenger who was waiting for his order: "Send the order and let the army stay in Muzhou Xia Pass, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes!" the messenger replied loudly, pulling the reins inside the big bird's beak and falling down.
Chapter completed!
