Cloud Dynasty, Eagle Falling Gorge.
The capital was located around a thousand miles away, within the domain of the Northern King, Luo Tong. There was a massive natural moat called Eagle Falling Gorge, where the sound of a stone falling could not be heard at all. It was as if it had been swallowed by this deep gorge. And on the other side of this chasm was the's strongest army. One of the four famous sects in the entire empire, the Canglong Mountain.
A year ago, the First Prince, Xue Li, had been killed. With the Second Prince, Xue Jing, as the leader, he had gathered the great strength of the Canglong Mountain, Dreamy Cloud Pavilion, and the three great sects of the Violet Firmament Palace to declare war on the empire, causing the entire empire to be in an uproar.
At the base camp of the northern army.
”Reinforce the defenses here and here, send more people there. Also, notify the soldiers guarding the bridge that they have to protect Eagle Falling Bridge at all costs, and take care of it quickly.”
After Xiao Hanqing drew a few spots on the map, she raised her hand and indicated for the people beside him to leave. Then she laid out a new map in front of the rest of the generals.
”Report!” Just as Xiao Hanqing was about to speak, a spy rushed in from outside the tent and anxiously interrupted Xiao Hanqing.
”What is it? Hurry up and tell me. We're busy here.” Xiao Hanqing lifted her head to look at the scout and urged him to report.
”Reporting to the Master Immortal, the front lines are here to report this. Master Xu and Lord Yue's garrisons have been detected and there are currently a large number of people gathering in the Azure Dragon Army, with a conservative estimate of no less than 10,000. Among them, there are also quite a few experts from the half-back deficiency. The two sirs have come down here to seek instructions on whether or not to launch an attack. ”
After Xiao Hanqing heard this, she pinched her chin and looked at the map. The Master Xu and Master Yue mentioned by the scouts were naturally Xu Wu and Yue Qingyao. Ever since Zhou Tong disappeared, the First Prince Xue Li met with calamity, the General Yun Cang and the rest began their war with the Imperial Family. As the immortal masters of the imperial court, Xiao Hanqing and the rest had no qualms but to join the battle, and the battle between the northern army and the Canglong Mountain was exactly where Xiao Hanqing and the rest were.
”Inform them when you return, retract their position and open a gap in the middle to allow the Azure Dragon Army to enter the encirclement. Immediately send someone to the Mo Sect's camp to gather some people, expand the encirclement, divide the Azure Dragon Army into small groups and kill them all! ”
Xiao Hanqing drew on the map as she gave the orders, she then looked at the generals in the tent: ”Does anyone have any objections, generals?”
”I have an objection.”
While the officers were conversing, a discordant voice was suddenly heard from outside the tent. He saw a person opening the tent and swaggering in.
”I feel that there is no need to shrink the position, and there is no need to mobilize the people of the Mo Sect. Move the position forward five hundred meters, open up a stance and stop at the Eagle Falling Bridge, and then use the most vicious words to scold the people of the General Yun Cang, and let me chop them all to death.” The person who barged into the camp looked at the map in his hands as he walked towards Xiao Hanqing. From the tone of his voice, it seemed as if he was of a higher level than Xiao Hanqing, the immortal master of the empire who was the commander in chief.
”When I was at the camp, a guard captain pointed his sword at me and asked who I was, but he didn't ask.” He touched his pocket and took out two jade plates and threw them on the table, ”I am Zhou Tong, you can also call me Lord Mo Li, it is my pleasure to meet you all.”
Doubtful, the staff officer picked up the command medallion from the table and looked. When the Mo Sect's entrance medallion and Dragon Tooth Order's identity as an immortal master entered his eyes, the staff officer almost immediately knelt down without thinking.
”Please forgive this Lord Mo Li, but I did not know that you had come, please forgive me.”
Hearing this, all the soldiers in the tent hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed. Ah, Immortal Master Mo Li, the one who disappeared two years ago, but was left with the highest authority to act! According to His Majesty, if he were to meet this person, it would be as if he was meeting the emperor himself!
Xiao Hanqing did not kneel down, but instead stood there in a daze. The brush used to draw the map accidentally dropped onto the ground, and Xiao Hanqing did not even have a chance to react.
”You're back?” Xiao Hanqing looked at Ling Jin in a daze, her mouth slightly agape, her tone carrying a little disbelief.
”They haven't even killed these rebels yet. If they won't come, then where am I supposed to go?” Zhou Tong put down the map in his hands and smiled at Xiao Hanqing, then opened up his arms and waved at Xiao Hanqing, ”Long time no see, why not give me a warm hug?”
”Phew.” Xiao Hanqing let out a long breath, and then, to everyone's surprise, she stepped forward and smashed her fist onto Zhou Tong's head.
