C572 Minister Xu Has Arrived
C572 Minister Xu Has Arrived
Yang Xuan disappeared after being ambushed by the great reverends of Barbarian Clan's Martial Hall. Along with him was the disciple of Prime Minister Xu Ruxian, Yuh Qingcheng.
Because of Yang Xuan's prestige in the army, after learning about this bad news, ... The entire Profound Gate Pass army was filled with righteous indignation, and they all requested Zhou Fengmiao to lead troops to attack the Great Wei border army. In addition, the Martial Hall's great reverend was thrown into a sorry state by Yang Xuan's endless means, and was finally captured alive by Zhou Fengmiao. Due to the Barbarian Clan's restraining fear, the originally powerful Barbarian Clan was actually suppressed by the border army of Great Wei in this war.
Outside the Profound Gate Pass, there was an abyss of suffering, and the flames of war raged. Right at this moment, when the news reached the capital, a few big shots rushed over to the Profound Gate Pass at high speed.
"Reporting to General, there is a report from the front. Tiger Army and the Barbarian Clan's First Army are fighting face to face. Both sides have been fighting for an entire afternoon, and nearly twenty thousand people have died or died."
In the military camp, Zhou Fengmiao was looking at the map with a serious expression on his face. From the time Yang Xuan disappeared until now, he had only slept on his own table for four hours.
The resentment between the Barbarian Clan and the Great Wei had accumulated for a long time. The Barbarian Clan was located on the barren grassland in the north. Although they had grown up in this kind of environment and were all soldiers, logistics was a huge problem. In the Great Wei, the aquatic plants were fat and the national power was strong. Although the combat strength of the soldiers was inferior to that of the Great Wei, logistical support and military replenishment were very easy.
This was also the reason why an existence like Yang Xuan could pose a huge threat to the Barbarian Clan. The army of the Barbarian Clan had never been afraid of anyone, but an existence like Yang Xuan, who used soldiers as if they were gods. However, it posed a huge threat to the Barbarian Clan's forces.
Initially, Zhou Fengmiao was impulsive after receiving the bad news about Yang Xuan. In addition, all the soldiers were about to attack, so he had issued the order to launch an all-out attack. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely retreat after attacking for a while. While giving enough pressure to the Barbarian Clan, he reorganized the army and attacked once again. However, just yesterday, he received a Sound Transmitting Talisman.
The origin of the Sound Transmitting Talisman was Xu Ruxian. In the letter, he told Zhou Fengmiao to fight the Barbarian Clan with all his strength regardless of the losses. As for himself, he was also rushing towards the Profound Gate Pass.
Zhou Fengmiao waited quietly, waiting for Xu Ruxian's arrival.
Battle reports kept coming. As the vanguard of the army, Tiger Army had taken twenty thousand men from the Barbarian Clan's elite First Army in exchange for one. Greedy Wolf Army had also taken down quite a number of men in exchange for two to three casualties. However, what surprised Zhou Fengmiao the most was that the Carduus Army had suffered less than ten thousand casualties. Easy! The Barbarian Army had taken down nearly thirty thousand people. This was a shocking number.
Moreover, the Carduus Army was not an army that was famous for its assault.
At the third quarter of Hai Shi, a figure descended from the sky and landed in the army of Profound Gate Pass. He walked straight towards Zhou Fengmiao's tent.
"Stop right there. Who is it?"
A few patrolling soldiers noticed the figure with disheveled hair and white clothes. They walked forward to stop him.
However, the other party merely turned around to take a look, and the soldiers felt their legs go weak.
Under the messy hair was a face that still had a graceful and graceful appearance despite its haggard appearance. And this face, there was virtually no one in the entire Great Wei who did not know about it.
"Xu... prime minister Xu?"
The patrolling soldier stammered. He would never have thought that this man, who was the idol of all men in the Great Wei, would appear here.
Without a chance, Xu Ruxian silently rushed towards Zhou Fengmiao's tent.
"I'm coming."
Xu Ruxian pushed open the curtain door of Zhou Fengmiao's tent and said faintly. Hearing this voice, Zhou Fengmiao looked up excitedly, but he was shocked by what he saw.
Xu Ruxian's hair was disheveled. Although his expression was not very good, it was still not gentlemanly. However, his eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
This was the first time Zhou Fengmiao had seen Xu Ruxian like this. That intense killing intent seemed to solidify. Just by looking at Xu Ruxian, Zhou Fengmiao felt as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He couldn't help but recall that twenty years ago, he had just been demoted to the Profound Gate Pass. At that time, there were two tall figures in the Profound Gate Pass. One of them was a white horse, while the other was a green sword.
The man in front of him was one of them.
"This general, Zhou Fengmiao, greets prime minister Xu."
Zhou Fengmiao said respectfully. Looking at Xu Ruxian, who was standing in front of Zhou Fengmiao and receiving the salute calmly, no one could imagine the age difference between the two of them.
"Let's skip these formalities. You know that I don't care about this."
Xu Ruxian said and stood up when he saw Zhou Fengmiao. He sat down on Zhou Fengmiao's seat and asked, "I heard that you caught the man who attacked Yang Xuan, and that he was the great reverend of the Barbarian Clan's Martial Hall?"
"That's right. Does prime minister Xu want to see him?"
Zhou Fengmiao was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't figure out what Xu Ruxian was thinking.
Xu Ruxian shook his head slightly and said, "No need. Let him go back and let him tell the army of Barbarian Clan. If there is still no news of Yang Xuan tomorrow morning, let them prepare for battle."
"This?"
Zhou Fengmiao asked in puzzlement, "What does prime minister Xu mean by this?"
Xu Ruxian looked at Zhou Fengmiao, his long hair fluttering in the wind. Even the white clothes on his body kept fluttering. "I came to Profound Gate Pass to kill people. If there wasn't any news about Yang Xuan and Yuh Qingcheng, the entire army of Barbarian Clan would be buried with my old friend's son and disciple."
Even though Zhou Fengmiao was standing at the peak of Great Wei, his elder brother was smiling cheekily. He also had the courage to contradict the twelve old monsters of the twelve big families in the capital. However, when he saw Xu Ruxian at this moment, he felt a wave of fear and trepidation.
Not daring to take another look at Xu Ruxian, Zhou Fengmiao hurriedly left the tent and followed his instructions.
On the other side, in the Spirit Pagoda.
Four days had passed, but Yang Xuan still had no intention of waking up. In these few days, Yuh Qingcheng had cried countless times. Every time, it was only after the Black Panther and Mong Ju'an constantly comforted her that she could barely wake up.
However, the thing that didn't destroy the last glimmer of hope for everyone was still Yang Xuan. At this time, Yang Xuan's body had already become full of vitality from the deathly stillness from before. And as time passed, this life force gradually became stronger.
Everyone waited quietly. Black Panther even had a premonition in his heart. After this battle, if Yang Xuan could really survive, he would definitely be able to stand at the peak of martial arts in the future.
