Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Chapter 373: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain

On the other side, Prince Qing was supporting Ji Feiyu and fleeing towards the North City surrounded by a group of guards.

Ji Feiyu was seriously injured by a shot from Yang Zhengshan, but Prince Qing was still loyal and did not abandon him.

"Prince, go by yourself, I am just a burden now!"

"No, if you want to go, go together!" Prince Qing carried his arm on his shoulder, panicking and anxious, but still unwilling to give up on him.

"Prince!"

"Eunuch Zhang can't come back, I don't want you to die here too!" Prince Qing said breathlessly.

He knew that Zhang Yu was not Yang Zhengshan's opponent. When Zhang Yu stayed behind to cover the retreat, he already knew that he had lost the relative who had accompanied him for most of his life.

Yes, in his heart, Zhang Yu was his relative.

It was Zhang Yu who took care of him since he was a child, it was Zhang Yu who accompanied him through the most difficult period, and it was Zhang Yu who helped him set up such a big chess game.

There were not many people he trusted, Zhang Yu was the most important one, and Ji Feiyu was also one of them.

He had already lost Zhang Yu, and didn't want to lose Ji Feiyu again.

Soon they came to the middle gate. Lu Chongde had taken this gate with his men before, but now there was no one guarding this gate. Lu Chongde did not arrange anyone to guard this gate. At this time, he was leading the defected soldiers to rush south.

In this way, it was convenient for King Qing and Ji Feiyu. Under the protection of dozens of guards, the two passed through the middle gate smoothly.

Just as they entered the north city, Niu Zhuang finally killed his way out of the south gate.

"Hou Yao, give me your life!"

Niu Zhuang, covered in blood, rushed directly towards Hou Yao.

In fact, Niu Zhuang's cultivation was not as good as Hou Yao's. He was only the seventh level of the post-natal realm. However, with his help, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Mingzhen immediately gained the upper hand and suppressed Hou Yao from raising his head.

Just at this moment, there was a loud bang, and the gate was knocked open!

"Hahaha~~"

"Brothers, kill!"

Song Dashan roared a little crazy.

Damn, it's so frustrating!

It's not a human job to break into the city gates. It took so long to break open the two city gates. Song Dashan felt so frustrated.

No one knew how much he wanted to rush into the city and kill everyone, but the two city gates were too strong.

Now that the two city gates were finally broken open, Song Dashan's frustrated mood was immediately released.

After roaring, he saw Hou Yao at a glance.

"Ah, get out of my way!"

He chopped the enemy in front of him with a knife, and the whole person rushed towards Hou Yao like a mad bull.

Hou Yao, who was originally suppressed by Yang Mingzhi and the other two, had no time to react, and he was beheaded by him with a knife.

"Song Dashan!"

Yang Mingzhi, Yang Mingzhen and Niuzhuang looked at Song Dashan angrily.

This guy is stealing heads!

However, Song Dashan ignored their anger and grinned, "Brothers, charge!"

Then, he continued to wave his long knife to kill the enemies around him.

"Why are you still standing there?" Luo Feiyu followed Song Dashan into the city gate and shouted when he saw Yang Mingzhi and the other two standing there.

He shouted while swinging two eight-sided hammers. Any enemy around him who was touched by the hammers would be torn to pieces and their bones would be broken.

"Kill!"

A large number of Tenglong Guards poured into the city from the city gate, and the balance of victory was completely overturned.

On the other side, after a period of consumption, Zhang Yu finally ran out of strength, and Yang Zhengshan pierced his shoulder with a flying stab.

Looking at Zhang Yu kneeling on the ground, Yang Zhengshan's eyes moved slightly.

"What a pity!"

"What a pity?"

Zhang Yu held the gun pole with both hands and looked up at Yang Zhengshan's burly figure.

At this time, his face was pale, no longer as rosy as before, and even his wrinkles seemed to be a little deeper.

"If you don't die, you may have a chance to become an innate warrior!" Yang Zhengshan said with some regret.

Half-step innate masters are really rare, even in the whole of Darong, there are not many.

Every half-step Xiantian warrior is a powerful warrior in Darong.

As for Xiantian warriors, most of them have already left the secular world, and few of them show up in public.

The reason is very simple. First, because they have reached the Xiantian realm, the secular world no longer has what they need. Except for some people who like money, power and sex, most Xiantian warriors will stay away from the secular world and find a place to practice.

The second reason is because of the imperial power and the court. The imperial power is above the warriors, and the Xiantian warriors have strong strength. The imperial power naturally cannot tolerate the Xiantian warriors to be domineering in the secular world, so it forces the Xiantian warriors to make a choice.

Either leave Darong, or submit to the court, or live in seclusion in the mountains.

As for whether Xiantian warriors will challenge the imperial power, it is not impossible. In history, there have been many ambitious Xiantian warriors who want to challenge the imperial power, but most of them have failed.

Because he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

This people's heart includes all the people in the world, including nobles, officials, martial arts families, and Jianghu sects, etc.

It is impossible to challenge the whole world by oneself.

Although Zhang Yu is over 60 years old, he still has a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm in the future. Even if his body has begun to decline, he still has a chance.

To break through from the half-step Xiantian realm to the Xiantian realm, one needs to accumulate and control the Xiantian true qi.

The former requires time to accumulate, and Zhang Yu's accumulation is enough.

The latter requires perception and opportunity. Generally speaking, most innate warriors are blocked from the threshold of the innate realm by the latter.

Zhang Yu is only a little bit of perception and an opportunity away from the innate realm.

"Yes, we have no chance!" Zhang Yu lowered his eyes and said indifferently.

Yang Zhengshan drew out his spear, then stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, "So I just sighed!"

Crack!

He crushed Zhang Yu's scapula completely!

Although he felt a little sorry, Yang Zhengshan had no intention of showing mercy.

This old eunuch is very difficult to deal with. He finally took him down, so naturally he would not give him any chance.

After crushing Zhang Yu's scapula, Yang Zhengshan lifted him up like a chicken and headed towards the north city.

When he came to the north wall of Chongshan Pass, he saw King Qing and his party riding away on horseback.

The distance was not far, only two or three miles away. If he chased them at this time, he should be able to catch up with them.

Yang Zhengshan looked at them, hesitated for a moment, but gave up the pursuit.

Let the tiger go back to the mountains!

Sort of!

But Yang Zhengshan did not release this tiger for himself, but for Darong.

Emperor Chengping was seriously ill, the crown prince was acting as regent, and the court was in constant struggle. No one could predict what would happen next.

This made Yang Zhengshan feel a little uneasy.

If the situation developed in the most unfavorable direction for him, he had to make some arrangements in advance.

Letting Prince Qing go was naturally not his arrangement, but only a remnant he left behind. This remnant might be harmful to him, but it might also help him in the future.

Letting the tiger go back to the mountains can also be understood as keeping the enemy for self-preservation.

The battle inside Chongshan Pass lasted until dusk before it barely ended.

Although Prince Qing and Ji Feiyu had already fled, the arrival of the Zhenbiao Middle Camp, Zhenbiao Front Camp and Chongshan Town North Road Reinforcement Camp was still fierce. The soldiers of these three camps were almost all loyal to Ji Feiyu and Hou Yao, and even surrendering would be a dead end for them, so they could only resist to the end.

As dusk approached, the fighting in the city gradually subsided. The city was full of blood and corpses. The entire Chongshan Pass was like hell, and people dared not look directly at it.

A general's success is the result of the death of thousands of people.

There are more than thousands of people in the city right now?

The number of people participating in the battle on both sides exceeded 100,000, and the casualties were probably more than half, even the soldiers of Tenglong Guard suffered heavy casualties.

The sky darkened, and the exhausted soldiers began to clean up the battlefield after a simple rest.

Carts of corpses were transported outside the city, whether they were the bodies of enemies or comrades, all of them were transported outside the city.

The smell of blood attracted a large number of wild beasts and birds. These beasts looked at the piles of corpses from a distance, as if they were looking at a table of delicacies.

No matter how the soldiers drove them away, they could not disperse these beasts.

In the deep night, Yang Zhengshan came to the general's mansion. Under the dim candlelight, he sat in the lobby and rubbed the token in his hand.

"General!" Yang Minghao walked in from outside the door, "The adults in the cell have been settled. Most of them are fine. Only Ji He and several other generals are afraid that they will be useless!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Where are the people of the Luo family?"

"I have already seen them. Everyone else is fine, but Luo Ren's wife had a miscarriage in prison, and because of long-term cold, her body is very weak!" Yang Minghao said in a low voice.

Luo Ren is Luo Shang's second son. He is 27 years old this year and has two sons and a daughter.

"Wait a minute, you can have someone send two jars of medicinal wine over!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The Yang family is the closest to the Luo family. This time, the Luo family was implicated by the Yang family. Otherwise, the General's Mansion would not have seized the Luo family's property and put all the Luo family members in jail.

But then again, if it weren't for the support of the Yang family, the Luo family might still be just a small merchant.

"Yes!" Yang Minghao responded.

The medicinal wine Yang Zhengshan mentioned was not Baicao Niang, but just ordinary wine mixed with Lingquan water.

These wines were specially prepared by Yang Zhengshan for the treatment of injuries of the soldiers.

In terms of efficacy, such wine is naturally far inferior to Baicao Niang, but the quantity of Baicao Niang is limited and it is impossible to supply every soldier. Yang Zhengshan can only settle for the second best and mix Lingquan water into ordinary wine for the soldiers to use.

And such medicinal wine, Yang Zhengshan can have as much as he wants.
