The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Wen Daozun looked solemn, sighed deeply, and said, "Sir, if this news spreads quickly and is known to the court, how will we explain it?"

When Duan Tianyang heard the word "imperial court", he felt his chest burning with anger. He sneered and retorted: "Since the Divine Realm fell into turmoil, the Xiguan rebels have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Our Hongxing Army is fighting alone here, but the imperial court has turned a deaf ear to us and has not sent a single soldier to help us. We acted in the name of the imperial court, and it is good enough that we did not join the rebel camp. What do we need to explain to the imperial court?"

Duan Tianyang's words were inevitably mixed with a bit of resentment towards Ling Ziyan.

Cao Ge, who had recovered from his injuries, followed closely and expressed his agreement with a resounding voice: "Brother Tian is absolutely right! It is really a helpless move to form an alliance with the rebels. If the court can understand, it is natural; if not, we don't need to care too much about their views!"

However, Xiao Fang on the side disagreed. He shook his head repeatedly and said worriedly: "Even if the court remains silent at this moment, there is no guarantee that they will not make a big fuss about this matter in the future, which will be detrimental to Brother Tian!"

Duan Tianyang was furious at the moment. He said firmly: "Don't mention the so-called court anymore! Do everything according to Mr. Chi's advice. We will send people to Shengluo City immediately."

He glanced at everyone present and asked, "Who is willing to take on this important task?"

"Sir, I do." Without waiting for others to speak, Chi Xun stood up and expressed his wish.

"You are going?" Duan Tianyang looked at Chi Xun in surprise.

Chi Xun explained: "Fang Quan is a man of the underworld. Although we are not close friends, we have met several times and had very pleasant conversations. If I go, even if he does not agree to the alliance, he will not do anything to me. I beg you to help me."

Duan Tianyang looked worried: "But this trip is extremely dangerous..."

Chi Xun said firmly: "Since I joined your army, I have not achieved any achievements, and I feel deeply guilty. This is a good opportunity for me to contribute to you, and I beg you to fulfill my wish!" As he spoke, Chi Xun bowed deeply.

Duan Tianyang stood up, walked to Chi Xun, helped him up, and said affectionately: "Mr. Chi, you are my think tank, and every suggestion you make is the greatest help to me. This is your achievement."

Chi Xun looked at Duan Tianyang earnestly, "Sir, if I go, the chance of success is more than 70%. If it's someone else, the chance is probably less than 50%. Just let me go!"

Facing Chi Xun's rock-hard eyes, Duan Tianyang made a decision in his heart.

He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had a look of determination.

He nodded slightly, turned to one side, and called out calmly, "Iron Armor!"

"I'm here!" Upon hearing the voice, Qiu Tieyi quickly walked to Duan Tianyang, bowed his head respectfully and waited for orders.

"Tieyi, you will go to Shengluo City with Mr. Chi. Your mission this time is to ensure Mr. Chi's safety. If there is any mistake..." Duan Tianyang's voice suddenly became low, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

"I guarantee it with my life. If there is any mistake, I am willing to die as an apology!" Qiu Tieyi immediately said with a serious expression.

Duan Tianyang nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to give a few instructions, a soldier rushed in in a panic and reported in a hurry: "Sir, there are several people outside the palace who want to see you. They say they have something important to tell you!"

"Who?" Duan Tianyang asked with a frown.

"They did not reveal their identities directly, but only asked me to hand it over to you, sir." The soldier said, presenting a token with both hands.

Duan Tianyang took the token, looked at it carefully, his expression changed slightly, then he regained his composure, handed the token back to the soldier, and ordered: "Please let them in."

Guan Hu, who was standing aside with a curious look on his face, asked, "Brother Tian, ​​who is here?"

"Linghua Palace."

Huh? Everyone was startled, wondering in their hearts, hadn't the people from Linghua Palace already followed the princess to Xifan? Why did they suddenly turn back?

Just when everyone was puzzled, a group of men in black suddenly rushed in from outside the door. Duan Tianyang recalled the leader and realized that he was one of Yi Shuirou's subordinates, but he had never noticed his name.

The group of men in black walked into the hall. The leading man in black paused for a moment, then walked up to Duan Tianyang and bowed respectfully: "I am Gu Jianhong, meeting Lord Duan."

Duan Tianyang waved his sleeves and responded, "Brother Gu, you don't have to be so polite."

Although Linghua Palace has no official position in the court, everyone knows that Linghua Palace is actually a secret force of the Yi family. Although it has no obvious identity, it has a huge influence.

Afterwards, Duan Tianyang stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Brother Gu, shouldn't you be in Xifan protecting the princess? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Gu Jianhong replied: "I came to Biqiu City specially to convey the princess's important secret order!"

Duan Tianyang asked with a confused expression: "What instructions does the princess have?"

Gu Jianhong responded in a serious tone: "The Jin people have sent 30,000 troops and are attacking the Qinba tribe. The princess orders you to go to Xifan immediately and command our soldiers to resist the invasion of the Jin army with all your strength."

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn and they all took a deep breath.

It is said that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. The 200,000-strong army led by Zhou Baiyuan was approaching aggressively, and outside the pass, the 30,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom was eyeing the Qinba tribe covetously.

What is more noteworthy is that the Jin Kingdom dispatched elite national troops this time, and their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the rebels led by Zhou Baiyuan.

Duan Tianyang frowned, and Guan Hu said anxiously: "Brother Tian, ​​the 30,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom are attacking the Qinba tribe, and our brothers there can't resist at all. We have to call the brothers back to the interior as soon as possible!"

However, Gu Jianhong firmly retorted: "No! The Qinba tribe's garrison cannot retreat, we must hold on, and we must hold on!"

Guan Hu clenched his fists and said angrily, "Master Gu, you may not know that Zhou Baiyuan is leading an army of 200,000 to attack our Northwest Pass. We really cannot spare a single soldier. The Qinba tribe has only 2,000 brothers. How can they withstand the fierce attack of the 30,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom?"

Gu Jianhong was slightly stunned when he heard this. After a brief thought, he said calmly: "Even if Zhou Baiyuan did not lead the rebels here, we cannot reinforce the Qinba tribe at all."

"Why is this?"

Gu Jianhong continued to explain: "The princess said that this battle is not only about victory or defeat, but also a good opportunity for our army to show its strength. If our army can resist the 30,000 strong army of the Jin Kingdom with only 2,000 elite soldiers, it will show that our army is ten times stronger than the enemy. In this way, the Western Fan tribes will be afraid of our country and dare not ally with the Jin Kingdom again. The Jin Kingdom intends to station troops in the Western Fan to invade our country and wants to use the power of the Western Fan, but these plots will all come to nothing. On the contrary, if our army reinforces the Qinba tribe and is equal to the Jin army in strength, even if we successfully repel the Jin army, the attitudes of the Western Fan tribes will still be wavering, and in the end, they may still choose to side with the Jin Kingdom..."

At this point, Gu Jianhong looked directly at Duan Tianyang, his expression solemn: "Sir Duan, can you understand the princess's foresight?"
