Back to the Peak

"But now Ling Feng has the support of his father and our powerful royal family, and now it is almost impossible for us to kill him!" The second prince said helplessly, "Furthermore, the father killed all the Liu family, which is also to make an example of others. To warn us! How dare we act rashly now?"

"There is no chance now, but it doesn't mean there will be no chance in the future!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth angrily, "As far as I know, the reason why the father is so partial to him is that he hopes that he can come forward to fight against us when the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty attack us. Enemy! At that time, maybe we can use the enemy's hand to kill Ling Feng!"

The First Prince knew that if Ling Feng existed, it would be impossible for him to beat the Third Prince! So if he wanted to ascend to the throne, he had to get rid of the stumbling block of Ling Feng. 26nbsp;

"Well, now the Dali Dynasty in the west and the Dachu Dynasty in the south are ready to move against us. I believe that a big war will break out in a short time. At that time, our chance to get rid of Ling Feng will come!" The second prince nodded nodded, agreeing with the First Prince's words. A sternness flashed in the eyes of the two at the same time, and they reached a consensus.

"Da da da!"

At the same time that Longyuan City was full of wind and rain, a powerful team was galloping along the official road, and the places they passed were suddenly filled with yellow dust.

At the front of the team was an old man wearing black heavy armor with a majestic face and piercing eyes.

This old man was none other than General Qing Zhan of the Quartet sent by Xue Hongze to southern Xinjiang to replace General Nan of Liu Tiannan Town!

Behind Qingzhan, followed closely by a group of innate warriors wearing silver armor, each of them possessed the aura of the fourth, fifth, or sixth level of congenital. The selected masters will be dispatched by Qingzhan.

"Yo! Yo!"

Suddenly a loud sound pierced the sky and came from the sky, and a gray-haired sharp-billed eagle with a length of one meter after spreading its wings flew like a meteor, flying over the heads of Qing Zhan and the others in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Qing Zhan raised his head and found the sharp-billed hawk flying fast, his eyes lit up, "It's the Sky Eagle sent by the royal family!"

Immediately Qing Zhan whistled, and the loud and clear voice went straight to the sky, at the same time, the horse stopped abruptly.

The soaring sky eagle heard the signal and rushed down, its wings swept a gust of wind, fluttering its wings, and landed firmly on Qing Zhan's shoulders.

"Yo! Yo!"

Sky Eagle yelled at Qing Zhan twice. Qingzhan understood, and directly put his hand into the mouth of the sky eagle, and took out a tightly sealed letter from its throat.

The information conveyed by the royal family with the Sky Eagle is extremely important. Naturally, it will not be tied to the leg like ordinary carrier pigeons, but will be hidden on the side of the Sky Eagle's roar with a special material. In this way, even if someone got this sky eagle by accident, they would never have thought that the secret message would be in its throat.

Opening the seal, Qing Zhan pulled out a slender roll of paper, then opened the roll, and began to carefully read the contents of the secret letter.

Sweeping his eyes over the secret letter, Qing Zhan became more and more startled, and when he read it, his old eyes were wide open.

"Old general, what did you say in the secret letter?" Seeing the shocked look on Qing Zhan's face, the dozen or so masters following behind Qing Zhan couldn't help coming over curiously.

"Look for yourselves!" Qing Zhan stretched out his hand and handed the ball of paper to a young general who was closest to him. The latter took the ball of paper, lowered his head and scanned it, his expression changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "There may be drastic changes in southern Xinjiang!"

Hearing the young general's words, the hearts of the rest of the people also jumped, and they quickly scanned the contents of the secret letter one after another, and they couldn't help showing solemn expressions on their faces.

"We're still about half the distance from southern Xinjiang. It seems that we have to travel day and night!" Qing Zhan gave an order to the people behind him, raised his whip, and slammed the horse's buttocks under him. Flying, carrying Qing Zhan and rushed southward rapidly. The rest of the people also urged their horses again and again, and followed closely behind Qing Zhan. And the sky eagle that reported the message also fluttered its wings over Qing Zhan and the others, and went south with them.

Two days later, late at night.

Just when Qing Zhan and others were traveling day and night, and they were about to arrive at the Zhennan Army camp, all the soldiers in the Zhennan Army barracks had fallen asleep except for some soldiers who were in charge of patrol and night watch, and from time to time they could hear a burst of snoring and Occasional ravings.

At this time, in an inconspicuous tent in the military camp, a dozen soldiers did not fall asleep, but gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.

"It's been five days, and the sixth day will be over soon, but the patriarch and the others haven't come back yet. Should we do what the patriarch told us?" A thin man said first.

"Why don't we wait a little longer, maybe the patriarch has something to delay the trip. Think about it, if we did that, but the patriarch came back, it would be terrible!" a round-faced fat man whispered .

"In my opinion, we can't wait any longer! When the patriarch left, he told us that if they didn't come back in about five days, something must have happened. We must do as we said. Now we can't hesitate Already!" said a burly man.

"Yes, if the patriarch has an accident, how can we work for the enemy again!" The thin man who spoke earlier nodded.

"Well, indeed, since the patriarch gave the order. Then we will follow the plan!" A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the group clapped his hands and told everyone, "Everyone put on your armor and pretend to be Patrol squad, ready to move!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded, put on their armor, picked up their weapons, pretended to be a night watch team, sneaked out of the barracks, and rushed to the camp of the Great Chu Dynasty.

At the same time, in the camp of the Great Chu Dynasty army, a middle-aged man who was not tall but very strong was listening to the news reported by his subordinates.

This middle-aged man is the commander of the 600,000 Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Chu Dynasty, Peng Lei, a congenital sixth-level martial artist! His task is to wait for the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and defeat the Zhennan army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Then cooperate with the Dali Dynasty in the west of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attack together and eliminate the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

And now there is an opportunity that looks like an opportunity but also looks like a trap, waiting for him to make a choice.

The spies who were in charge of placing them in the Eastern Jin army sent news that the commander of the Eastern Jin army had not been seen for five days in a row. Now is the best time to attack them!

"What do you all think of this news?" Peng Lei asked, scanning the generals under his command.

"This is obviously a trap for the enemy to lure us. If we want to attack the Eastern Jin army now, we will definitely be ambushed by the enemy!" A middle-aged general in silver armor said immediately.

"I think this is a rare opportunity!" The white-haired old general "Yang Ze" objected, "There is no need for the enemy to create such a simple and clear arrangement that can be seen through at a glance to lure us. I was fooled. That’s why I feel that there is indeed no coach in the Eastern Jin army now!”

"There is a saying in the art of war that 'what is false is real, and what is real is false'. This is an illusion deliberately created by the enemy. We must not be fooled!" Another young general spoke against the words of the old general Yang Ze.

Yang Ze shook his head with a smile and said: "The art of war is dead, but people are alive. Marching and fighting must not be done on paper, let the dead limit the living! I'm sure, this is definitely an opportunity for us!"

Peng Lei also spoke slowly, expressing his opinion: "I agree with Old General Yang's opinion, and I also think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

At this moment--

"Report—" A voice came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Peng Lei frowned, feeling a little displeased. He has already ordered that if there is nothing particularly important, don't disturb them to discuss important matters.

"Marshal, soldiers from the Eastern Jin Dynasty have come to surrender, and they have something important to report to you!" The voice outside the door replied.

"Well, come to surrender at this time?" Peng Lei frowned, rolled his eyes, and shouted, "Bring them in!"

"Yes!" A voice outside the door answered. After a while, more than a dozen soldiers wearing the armor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were brought in and knelt down to worship Peng Lei.

"Why do you want to subdue my Great Chu Dynasty?" Peng Lei sat on the commander's seat, his eyes were like lightning, and he coldly shouted at the dozen or so soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty below.

The oldest middle-aged soldier leaned over and reported: "Marshal, we are members of Liu Tiannan, the Great General of Zhennan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Cheng, the young master of our Liu family, was killed by a boy named Ling Feng, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty His Majesty shielded the other party. In order to avenge the young master, our patriarch personally brought his confidants and sneaked back to Longyuan City to kill Ling Feng. But the patriarch did not come back as planned, obviously something happened. So, we followed The patriarch's entrustment, come and surrender, and help your Great Chu Dynasty return to Longyuan City and avenge the patriarch!"

Hearing the middle-aged soldier's report, Peng Lei's heart skipped a beat, with a hint of surprise, but he still had a sullen face, slammed the table, and said coldly: "The lies you made up are too low-level. It's just because Liu Tiannan didn't When you come back on time, you come to surrender, it is too far-fetched! Do you think that people from our Great Chu Dynasty are so easy to deceive!"

Peng Lei feigned anger, and the dozen or so surrendering soldiers below were so frightened that they quickly bent over to the ground. The middle-aged soldier who had spoken earlier boldly said, "Marshal, you don't know something. Our patriarch especially emphasized before leaving, In five days, no matter whether he killed Ling Feng or not, he will definitely return on time! If he hasn’t returned by then, there must be an accident! And we have waited for six more days, but the patriarch still hasn’t come back!”

"Oh?" Peng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "There is no evidence for what I say, so why should I believe you?"

"Marshal, look what this is!" The middle-aged soldier took out a map and some documents from his pocket, and handed them to Peng Lei, "This is what our patriarch gave us before he left. If there is an accident, you must use these things!"

"Military deployment map, troop distribution map, food and grass storage place..." Peng Lei looked at the precious information in front of him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Haha, good! This Liu Tiannan is so ruthless that it almost knocked down the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. All the veterans have told us! As long as we break through their defense line, with our strength, we can directly attack the imperial city of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

"Since the opportunity has come, we can't miss it!" Peng Lei clenched his fists excitedly, and ordered, "The three armies immediately prepare to attack the Eastern Jin army at night, and kill him without leaving a single piece!"

"yes!"

All the generals below were full of joy, all gearing up for a big battle.
