Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

C696 Chapter 696



C696 Chapter 696

The Falling Blade Cliff is in the middle of a war.    

    

In the military camp of Lo Capital, Yang Xuan appeared in the sky above the military camp.    

    

Chen Zhihu sat outside the military camp, seemingly deep in thought. The flames of war in Profound Gate Pass burned all the way to Falling Blade Cliff. But because of the Falling Blade Cliff, there were always ghost cultivators secretly monitoring the situation. Therefore, the news hadn't spread to the Lo Capital yet. The New Year in the Lo Capital this year was obviously very good. Although the Lo Capital had been harassed by ghost cultivators twice in the past year, but in the end, this was the Lo Capital, which had been regarded as an important city since the establishment of the Great Wei, and it recovered its vitality very quickly.    

    

But no matter what, Chen Zhihu still felt that this year had been too peaceful.    

    

However, what he didn't know was that the news in the capital would soon spread to the Lo Capital. At that time, the Lo Capital would welcome a major reshuffle. The forces that had once stood in the ranks of the princes would more or less receive some suppression.    

    

This was also because all the princes except Wai Xuan had died under the hands of the spectral cultivators. If it was in the past, whenever the imperial court changed its dynasties, it would not bring about a storm of bloodshed. However, even if these news were to spread, it wouldn't have much to do with Chen Zhihu. After all, no matter how the dynasties changed, the status of the army would never be shaken.    

    

Yang Xuan slowly landed in front of Chen Zhihu and asked, "General Chen, what are you thinking about?"    

    

Perhaps it was because the Lo Capital had been too peaceful recently that Chen Zhihu had relaxed his vigilance until Yang Xuan spoke. Chen Zhihu did not notice Yang Xuan's arrival. After hearing Yang Xuan's voice, Chen Zhihu was obviously startled. He hurriedly raised his head and pressed a hand on the weapon on his waist. But after seeing that it was Yang Xuan, Chen Zhihu heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

"Marquis of Lo Capital, why are you here?"    

    

Chen Zhihu hastily stood up and bowed to Yang Xuan and said respectfully. Although most of the people in Great Wei called Yang Xuan Marquis of Lo Capital, perhaps someone would call him Imperial Advisor soon. However, Chen Zhihu had to do the opposite, even though Yang Xuan did not have an official rank yet. In Chen Zhihu's heart, he still wanted to call Yang Xuan General. And to a soldier like him, General was the highest form of address he had in his heart.    

    

Yang Xuan saw Chen Zhihu's puzzled look and hesitated for a moment. Looking at Chen Zhihu's expression, it seemed like he still didn't know what had happened in the capital and Profound Gate Pass. He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and released a flame to dry the ground. He sat cross-legged on the ground, starting from the year when the capital was attacked by ghost cultivators. He also told Chen Zhihu about what happened in Profound Gate Pass.    

    

After listening to Yang Xuan's story, Chen Zhihu's facial expression turned serious. If what Yang Xuan said was the truth, then the border guards of Profound Gate Pass were facing a great crisis. If that was really the case, then Guard of Lo Capital's second mission was to be the reserve army of the defending army of Profound Gate Pass. Therefore, if something happened to the defending army, as the leader of Guard of Lo Capital, it was obvious that Chen Zhihu would not be able to take responsibility for it.    

    

"General Chen, you don't have to worry. There is a reason why such a thing happened. Even if we really pursue this matter, it has nothing to do with General Chen."    

    

Seeing the change in Chen Zhihu's expression, how could Yang Xuan not guess what Chen Zhihu was thinking? But at this time, the most important thing was not to fight back against the Barbarian Army, but to stabilize the morale of the army. If Chen Zhihu had any worries or dissatisfaction, it could be a time bomb at this moment.    

    

Chen Zhihu smiled slightly and said to Yang Xuan, "It's fine. I can understand what General Yang said. What worried me was that the brothers at the front line were in dire straits. Should I go and help them now? "    

    

"There's no need to rush."    

    

Yang Xuan calmly shook his head. The Spiritual Force was attached to his fingertip. His finger started to move on the ground. Very quickly, Yang Xuan drew a map of the Falling Blade Cliff on the ground. This move made Chen Zhihu's pupils shrink.    

    

What shocked him was, of course, not the fact that Yang Xuan could use his finger to draw on the ground. This kind of thing was not something that could shock the world. Although he could not do it as easily as Yang Xuan, he could still do it with great difficulty. What surprised him was that as the leader of Guard of Lo Capital... He had already memorized the map of the Lo Capital, but he still couldn't draw the map of the Lo Capital without a reference. However, Yang Xuan did it on an impromptu basis, and the map he drew was almost exactly the same as the map of the Lo Capital in his memory. Even if it was slightly different, it was only by a hair's breadth.    

    

However, Yang Xuan did not seem to notice his shocked expression. He pointed at a small town called Iron Ridge Pass 50 miles to the north of Falling Blade Cliff. He said to Chen Zhihu, "General Chen, this place is called Iron Ridge Pass. It is a small town that you can reach without passing through Falling Blade Cliff. It was the closest place to Falling Blade Cliff. If nothing unexpected happened, this place was currently under the control of the Barbarian Army. After dawn, you will lead the 200,000 strong army of the Lo Capital. We'll just need to head there together. "    

    

"But, General Yang, didn't you just say that that place has already been occupied by the army of Barbarian Clan? Wouldn't it be alerting the enemy if I go there now?"    

    

Chen Zhihu looked at Yang Xuan with some doubt. The current situation of the Barbarian Army was that they could attack at any time. They could defend and retreat. If the news of him leading his troops over was known by the soldiers of Barbarian Clan, they would immediately retreat. Chen Zhihu's troops really had no way to deal with them. One should know that most of the soldiers of Barbarian Clan grew up in the grasslands. All of them were first-class horsemanship experts, even the most elite cavalry in the Guard of Lo Capital. That was all.    

    

Yang Xuan waved his hand and said calmly, "General Chen, don't worry. Since I gave the order, how could I not think of such a thing? I don't mind telling you here, just before I return to Lo Capital. I caught the general of Barbarian Clan who led all the troops near Dragon Tooth Mountain. If I'm not mistaken, he should be being interrogated in the military camp next to Falling Blade Cliff. "    

    

"What?"    

    

Chen Zhihu was shocked. If it wasn't because the person in front of him was Yang Xuan, who had created countless miracles in Great Wei, he might even think that Yang Xuan was joking to make him happy. One should know that the status of the General of Barbarian Clan in the army was equal to the Zhou Fengmiao of Great Wei. How could he be captured so easily?    

    

However, seeing the serious expression on Yang Xuan's face, Chen Zhihu still nodded solemnly and said to Yang Xuan, "I understand, General Yang. After dawn, I will gather the troops and do as you say."
