Chapter 410: The City Offering Plan (asking for monthly ticket)

Chen Tianyi looked at the young man walking towards him, his spirit tensed up, and he was filled with regret and remorse. He had restrained his aura to the extreme in the past hundred years, but he was still detected? !

Qin Wu Hou?!

When did you come? ! !

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes.

In fact, he had arrived there very early. This master from the royal family of the State of Chen must not be a general, at least not one of the top ten generals. Otherwise, he would have understood how sharp the top generals were in the army.

Li Guanyi followed behind all the time.

However, Li Guanyi could not show up regarding Chen Wenmian's matter. Otherwise, given Chen Wenmian's personality, there would be resentment between them in the future. So Li Guanyi just waited outside and did not eavesdrop.

The old man's rage when he went out also let Li Guanyi know Chen Wenmian's choice. He was pleased, but curious about what the old man wanted to do here. He simply took advantage of the old man's trick and followed him outside. He found that someone had some doubts about Pojun's plan.

But whatever.

Mr. Pojun's strategy is aimed at people's hearts.

Rather than targeting those who are inherently suspicious and alert.

Chen Tianyi was frantically thinking of countermeasures in his mind. Even though the person in front of him was just a seriously injured person from the eighth level of the sky, he felt an indescribable pressure all over his body. It was as if the entire world was oppressing him.

He once observed Li Guanyi from afar.

At that time, Li Guanyi had not yet fought with Jiang Su. With the foundation of the eighth heaven, he killed enemy generals in a formation of 100,000 and was granted the title of Juxu Mountain. He was indeed a famous general in the world and his achievements were recorded in history. However, Li Guanyi at that time did not have the courage he has now.

This person grew up again in the battlefield.

Chen Tianyi didn't want to think so.

However, as the young general in front of him was pacing, he seemed to see another person in a trance, who also displayed a calm demeanor on the battlefield, and also had a feeling as if he was in control of the battlefield, calm and graceful.

Military God!

This is Jiang Su’s aura during his time as a military god!

What Grand Tutor Jiang Su had lost was now gradually being nurtured in his opponent.

A new military god? An undefeated legend?

Chen Tianyi only felt cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Under such pressure, thoughts in his mind emerged one after another uncontrollably. He naturally felt the unwillingness of an older generation and the panic of discovering that things were developing too fast and his judgment could not keep up.

"Li Guanyi, how come you have the charm of Jiang Su's military god period?"

It was clear that a few years ago, he was just a Jinwu Guard of the Second Heaven.

At that time, when Li Guanyi went to the library to read martial arts books, Chen Tianyi and his brother looked down upon the young Li Guanyi from a high position, thinking that he was just a mediocre person who had missed the time for cultivation and did not have much talent.

Including the death of Duke Taiping, when they learned everything about it, they did not try to stop it; including when Li Guanyi escaped several years ago, they did not help Chen Dingye.

This was certainly because Chen Qingyan blocked the way with a sword.

But the indifference and arrogance of the older people who claim to see through everything is also one of the reasons.

But in just a few years, their positions have been reversed.

Chen Tianyi secretly accumulated strength while smiling and said, "Several years ago, when you were only a 14-year-old boy, you came to the library. At first, you couldn't go up to the upper floors and could only browse on the first floor. Time is really ruthless."

"In the blink of an eye, the prince has become a heroic figure."

"And I am getting older and older."

Chen Tianyi talked about the past, hoping to delay time.

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, and golden light gathered in the void.

A number of dark gold-colored, heavy-textured divine weapons appeared in his hands. With a casual turn, the divine weapons, which had returned to their normal weight, easily spun around, resting against the ground, and said, "No point in saying more."

Qin Wuhou lifted the heavy weapon with one hand and pointed at Chen Tianyi:
"Now that you're here, you might as well take a rest."

"Would you like me to invite you personally?"

Chen Tianyi stared at me for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, and moved forward, but his body turned into a series of afterimages, flying backwards, and said with a smile: "Now that the world has changed drastically, there are still people in the country who can use me, so there is no need to trouble you, my lord."

"I will keep today's events in mind."

"I will repay you when we meet again someday!"

"Farewell!"

His movements were ethereal, and he was clearly at the top level in the martial arts world. The ninth-level skills that were cultivated with the foundation of a great country in the Central Plains like the State of Chen were certainly not something that an ordinary person could match.

He has a more profound background than the supreme elder of the Yin-Yang Rotating Sect whom Li Guanyi met a few years ago.

He is also burdened with the responsibility of delivering the truth about Li Guanyi's military strategy. The rise and fall of the country, the border war, and the crisis of life and death all appear in his mind at the same time, piling up layer by layer.

Under such pressure, Chen Tianyi demonstrated his ability to surpass his limits.

His movements are so ethereal that they cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Even the soul cannot cross it.

At this moment, Chen Tianyi even grasped a trace of the charm of the supreme realm of lightness skill. He felt that the wind flying towards him was no longer an obstacle to him, but instead surrounded him, making his movements more calm and delicate.

It was at this most dangerous moment that he seized the opportunity for a breakthrough!
Hahahaha, there is a great terror between life and death, it turns out that this is what it means to break through in battle!
After sixty years of hard training, today I have the opportunity to break through the barrier. From today onwards, I will re-study what I have learned and will surely reach a higher realm. Even if I cannot reach the level of a martial arts legend, I can at least reach the level of the Palace Master of the Academy.

What a pleasure!
Chen Tianyi only felt happy in his heart, a half century of dust was gone in an instant!
The vastness of heaven and earth, all belongs to——

A halberd.

? ! ! !
Chen Tianyi's expression froze as he saw Li Guanyi standing calmly between heaven and earth in front of him with a hint of indifference in his eyes. It seemed as if the entire heaven and earth were collapsing and shrinking towards this young general.

Li Guanyi raised the halberd in his hand and slashed down calmly.

The moves are simple and unpretentious.

Chen Tianyi's body movement was beyond the limit, and he rushed forward as if seeking death, and just at the right moment, he landed under the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd.

boom! ! !
Chen Tianyi was beaten to the ground.

The heavy halberd almost shattered his bones. After several moves, each one was more domineering than the last. This old member of the royal family of the Chen State could only try his best to resist. His martial arts skills and internal strength were undoubtedly superior to Li Guanyi's.

But his life span was too long, his physical strength and blood were weak, and he was unable to embark on the journey of legend.

Fighting with Li Guanyi gave me the illusion of fighting with a young Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Chen Tianyi used many mysterious martial arts, but they were all shattered by the general's plain halberd. In desperation, he directly stimulated his spiritual charm and burst out with Dharma. Ripples appeared in the void, and the winged tiger Qiongqi appeared.

Hold your head high and roar.

But the voice hasn't died down yet.

He was chopped down by the fierce and powerful Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd.

Just when the Qiongqi Dharma Image was about to appear, this extremely clever vertical slash not only directly destroyed the Qiongqi Dharma Image, but also caused the ripples of the Dharma Image to dissipate. When Chen Tianyi staggered back, Li Guan took a step forward.

The battle robe with Qilin pattern fluttered and smashed the tiger to pieces. Behind the body of the Qiongqi tiger was an invincible general in the world, with flying hair. He almost bumped into Chen Tianyi's sight and occupied his entire field of vision.

In a trance, time seemed to slow down, and Chen Tianyi couldn't help but lose his mind because of this scene.

He suddenly understood something and said miserably: "Martial Arts Legend?!"

An 18-year-old martial arts legend?!
The new military god of the military strategist? !
But Li Guanyi did not answer him. He had already grasped the Tiger Roaring Halberd in both hands and burst into speed. The speed of the halberd did not slow down at all. With an extremely terrifying speed and force, he chopped Chen Tianyi's shoulder, and an unstoppable force erupted.

Chen Tianyi groaned and half-knelt on the ground.

Li Guanyi held the halberd in his right hand and raised his left hand, calmly pressing it on the halberd, pressing down with a calm and domineering attitude. Chen Tianyi saw that behind the general, the white tiger and the red dragon were looking at him calmly, and more and more pressure was coming down.

"In my camp, you can come and go as you please?"

"How bold."

The old man, who had been in this world for so long that his perception of time was not so clear, finally realized at this moment that the person he was facing was not the young Jinwu Guard who could not even reach the second level of the Chen Kingdom's library.

But he is a contemporary hero and a top general.

Chen Tianyi endured the pressure from Li Guanyi, and his knees could not hold on and shattered.

Kneel down heavily below.

All his strength was dispersed directly, and Li Guanyi's Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd cut into his shoulder vertically, blood gushed out. Li Guanyi retreated, and the blade of the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd almost scraped Chen Tianyi's shoulder.

Chen Tianyi’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Li Guanyi turned the weapon in his hand, and the tail of the halberd was like a spear tip, piercing Chen Tianyi's dantian heavily. Chen Tianyi was knocked away by a powerful force and fainted directly. Before fainting, only one thought appeared in his mind.

Fucked...

Li Guanyi raised his halberd and exhaled a breath of foul air, and then everything that had slowed down within him returned to normal. This old fellow was so agile. If he didn't have the aura of a martial arts legend, wouldn't he have to activate a battle formation to take him down?

The Nine Heavens, plus a sixty-year retreat in the Sutra Repository.

It's really extraordinary.

He almost ran away.

Li Guanyi looked at the white-haired old man who fell asleep, swung the halberd in his hand, and directly broke Chen Tianyi's dantian with the end of the halberd. A violent wind rose, and the old man's skills of more than a hundred years were completely destroyed.

Li Guan carried Chen Tianyi back to the camp with one hand and handed him to Pojun.

Sometimes, for this old member of the royal family of the State of Chen, living is more meaningful than dying.

Mr. Pojun had not yet slept when his camp was opened.

Gladly accepted.

When Li Guanyi returned to the camp, he saw Chen Wenmian in a white robe visiting outside the tent. After entering the camp, Chen Wenmian half-knelt on the ground and told Li Guanyi about Chen Tianyi's secret visit and asked Li Guanyi to find the old man immediately.

Li Guan helped Chen Wenmian up and said:
"It doesn't have to be this way."

He considered it for a moment and said, "Wen Mian, you come."

Chen Wenmian was puzzled.

Then he followed Li Guanyi and saw Chen Tianyi, whose martial arts were abolished and whose expression seemed to have aged in an instant, at the place where Mr. Pojun was. Mr. Pojun seemed a little annoyed, and Chen Tianyi was sneering:

"Young man, these methods alone cannot open my mouth."

When he saw Chen Wenmian again, he suddenly felt a pause in his heart and burst into tears:
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and failed to kill the mastermind."

"They also failed to kill the traitor Li Guanyi. Your Highness, I will hold them back. You leave now!"

Chen Wenmian looked stern and was about to explain.

Li Guanyi said, "Qilin went to find some good fruit to eat. I don't know when he will come back. I went to look for him. I was just strolling around and saw this old gentleman wandering around in my army, so I invited him here."

Chen Wenmian pursed his lips, slowly raised his hand, pressed the sword, and said:
"I'll handle it myself."

Li Guanyi held his wrist and said, "No need."

He looked at Chen Tianyi and said, "This man trespassed into the camp and should be killed according to the law. However, he is related to you by blood after all. I have received great favor from old man Chen Chengbi and have been taught the Chen royal martial arts. Since you are in charge of the library, I will spare your life."

"It will also save Wenmian from the deaths of too many relatives." Chen Wenmian's eyes rippled and he pursed his lips.

Li Guanyi said: "Although the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped."

"If there is no punishment, it will be difficult to convince the public."

"After everything is settled, we will send him back to Anxi City and hand him over to Mr. Wen He for disposal."

"???!"

Chen Wenmian opened his mouth with a complicated expression. He subconsciously wanted to ask this uncle who taught him martial arts when he was a child to commit suicide. Pojun also had a strange expression on his face.

Chen Tianyi realized that his words had no effect and sneered:
"Wen He? Who is he?"

"You, the strategist, can't even pry open my mouth, so why should I be afraid of a mere nobody?!"

Po Jun smiled and said, "He is indeed an unknown person."

"Also known as Yan Daiqing of the Western Regions."

Then Chen Tianyi's face changed drastically and he wanted to struggle, but to no avail.

Chen Tianyi was unwilling, but was taken away by General Xiao Wuliang.

Li Guanyi needed Mr. Wenhe to find out some information about the layout of the Chen Kingdom's Jiangzhou City Palace from Chen Tianyi, so he wrote a handwritten letter to inform Mr. Wenhe that there was no need to endanger his life.

On the second day, Li Guanyi sent the sharpshooter general Wang Shunchen to shoot Chen Tianyi's waist badge and other items into the city of Zhenxi with an arrow. Lu Youxian knew about it, and the mood of the generals in the city of Zhenxi became further unsettled.

In particular, they discovered that a great master of the Ninth Heaven entered Li Guanyi's camp and disappeared silently. This had a greater impact on the defenders in the city than the beating of drums and gongs to surround and kill Chen Tianyi last night.

This has a sense of being unfathomable.

Li Guanyi also ordered his soldiers to shout out Chen Tianyi's situation loudly, one person every 15 steps, and tell the people in the city: "General Lu Youxian, we will keep the Great Uncle of the Nine Heavens that you sent!"

"If you're still willing, you can send Chen Dingye over as well."

"When the time comes, I'll send you some valuable women's clothing!"

The sound rolled out, and Lu Youxian looked calm.

Further strengthen the city’s defense.

The common people were terrified, and among the officials, complaints became more and more intense.

At this moment, in Ying State, Crown Prince Jiang Gao was confined alone in the East Palace.

Next to him was his cousin who was from a family of diplomats. Jiang Cai was a figure in the academy who was no less powerful than the nine sons of the academy. She was also the only one who defeated Po Jun in a debate that day and was the "big sister" who was beaten with a long stick by Po Jun and cried.

When she walked into the East Palace, she saw Jiang Gao reading quietly. He was a gentle gentleman in the past, but now there was a hint of decadence and numbness in his gentleness.

Jiang Cai looked at the scroll on the ground, picked it up, put it on the table, and said:
"You stayed up all night reading again. This is not a long-term solution."

Jiang Gao sighed, "Sister, if I'm not hiding in the book, what else can I do? My second brother came back with troops at the critical moment and fought until he was seriously injured. This kind of decision-making is better than mine."

Jiang Cai said: "With your majesty's wisdom, you should have made preparations for both situations."

"If His Majesty conquers the world, you will still be the crown prince."

"Although Jiang Yuan is decisive and has the courage to survive in troubled times, he is ultimately too radical. If he is made the ruler of the status quo, the world will surely be in chaos. And you, though kind and tolerant, are weak. You can rest with the people, but you cannot forge ahead."

Jiang Gao smiled bitterly: "Sister, please don't hurt my heart like this."

"But what you said is also true..."

Jiang Cai suddenly said, "Li Guanyi has raised an army to attack the Zhenxi Pass."

Jiang Gao was silent for a long time, and said: "In the past, he basically responded passively to the enemy in this world situation, but now, he can rely on himself to stir up such a storm... Father..."

Jiang Cai said calmly: "Your Majesty and the State of Chen have formed a secret alliance. They both want to stop Li Guanyi in this matter. If Li Guanyi succeeds, it will not be a good thing for both Daying and the State of Chen."

"In this world of conflict, there are no such things as permanent friends or permanent enemies."

"It's just that the general trend is in line with each other, and the hostility is just because of the general trend."

The pretty girl whispered, "Facing Qin Wuhou, Chen State and Daying can no longer be ignored. His rising future will allow Chen Dingye to put aside the blood feud of killing his brother and form an alliance with Daying."

“I didn’t know for a moment that it was Chen Dingye who could endure the blood feud and take the initiative to form an alliance with my Great Ying Kingdom who was more terrifying.”

"It is still as terrible as the Qin Wuhou who is entrenched in the world like a tiger and is about to swallow up the world."

Jiang Gao smiled and said, "Chen Dingye is still more terrifying."

"If Brother Li gets the world, he will not oppress the people. But Chen Dingye is different. If he gets too lucky, I am afraid that the stupid moves he made when he was young will keep happening again."

"Speaking of which, the situation has been stabilized now. Generals Yuwen Tianxian, Qin Yulong, and Yuwen Hua have returned, right?"

Jiang Cai could hear the evasion in Jiang Gao's words: "Qin Wu Hou was not harsh on them."

“Allow them to return.”

Jiang Gao said: "Brother Li has really never let me down."

Jiang Cai took a deep breath, pressed on the table, and looked closely at Jiang Gao, saying:
"Jiang Gao, Qin Wu Hou, has a surging momentum. Although he is only at the eighth level, he is too young. He is so young that no one in this world would doubt that he has become a martial arts legend."

"If Your Majesty can join hands with the State of Chen to stop the soaring momentum of this great dragon, restrict it to the Western Regions, and cut off its momentum to swallow up the Central Plains, then the enemy will only be the declining Chen Dingye, and they can also serve as a check and balance between them."

"After that, the Great Ying Kingdom should face a few decades of recuperation."

"Then, this great master will be yours in the end."

“But if Daying and Chen join forces and still can’t stop Qin Wuhou’s rise, then your position as the crown prince will really not be yours!”

Jiang Cai explained the matter clearly.

Jiang Gao said: "I know."

Jiang Caidu: "So, what do you hope for?"

Jiang Gao raised his head, looked at his cousin, and answered gently:
"...Da Ying just doesn't want to fight with the State of Chen. This is a fight between Brother Li and the State of Chen. If you are talking from a friend's perspective, then I hope Brother Li can take off and get what he wants."

"…………"

Jiang Cai's face showed extreme disappointment. She smashed the scroll in her hand on Jiang Gao's desk. At this moment, her anger was no longer because of her advisor, but because of her identity as a sister. She suddenly raised her hand and hit Jiang Gao in the face, angry at his lack of resistance and grieving his misfortune. She said:
"This world is so big, but you always remain the same."

"See you in the future?"

"Without the position of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and without the protection of His Majesty, even your life will be in the hands of others! Not only you, but also those officials in your Eastern Palace will be implicated."

"You have to change."

"Being gentle as jade is not fit to be the ruler of a chaotic world. A gentleman's character is wrong for a king."

Jiang Gao just sat there quietly. Jiang Cai turned around and strode out, extremely disappointed. Watching Jiang Cai go away, Jiang Gao quietly packed up the files. Jiang Gao, who deliberately said this, touched the palm print on his cheek and whispered:

"Only in this way can you leave me and save your life."

"Only in this way can our Great Ying Kingdom avoid internal turmoil and national disaster."

When Jiang Cai walked out, he met Yuwen Lie and told him what happened. He said, "General Yuwen, the prince is still like this. What should we do..."

Yu Wenlie's eyes were as narrow as knives, and he said:

"The trend of the war in the Western Region will soon be revealed. If Li Guanyi can take over Zhenxi City, there will be changes within a month. If he fails to take it within a month, once the State of Chen is fully mobilized, he will never be able to take it."

"It won't be long."

"I will come to see the prince after the war in the Western Region has subsided."

"If he can't take it, then there's no need for you and me to worry. If he really does take it, the crown prince will be deposed..."

Jiang Cai said: "What are you going to do?"

Yuwen Lie turned his back to Jiang Cai, holding the sword at his waist, and said coldly:

"The strong make the rules, the weak follow them, and it has always been like this."

"In troubled times, the rise of a king is not just a path within the rules."

Jiang Cai seemed to realize something and his expression changed slightly.

"!!!"

Yuwen Lie turned sideways, his eyes calm: "I am loyal to your majesty."

I am only loyal to Your Majesty.

The hidden meaning in this line of text made Jiang Cai feel a hint of murderous intent.

…………

Outside the Western Region Pass, as Chen Tianyi of the Ninth Heaven was swallowed up silently, the atmosphere in the entire Zhenxi City became more and more tense. There was a million-strong army outside, which was frightening. The people in the city could hardly rest.

During this stage, Po Jun had to rotate the troops and send the highly mobile troops to the front of the city to challenge the enemy, forcing the defenders in the city to be on high alert and unable to rest. When the reinforcements from the State of Chen were about to arrive, the people in the city were most tired and fearful.

Those officials also had complaints about Lu Youxian:

"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet. We only have tens of thousands of soldiers in the city who can fight. There are a million strong army outside the city. Even the best generals in the world can't defeat them no matter how hard we try!"

"If we hold on to this wave of attacks, we will only get a little gold and silver, but there is a high probability that we will not be able to defend the city. Lu Youxian is a famous general. If he surrenders, he can be transferred to another place and become a great general."

"But there is a high probability that we will die under a million-strong army."

"Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will still be a prisoner. Even if Qin Wuhou does not pursue the matter, you will still be stripped of your official status and be helpless."

"Yeah...but even if we defend it."

"Lu Youxian started investigating what happened to Lan Wendu that day. We..."

Everyone fell silent. They had also received the things that Wen Qingyu had given to Lan Wendu. Lan Wendu had been killed. Lu Youxian had originally planned to clean them up, but he ran out of time.

They all felt regretful at this moment.

That's Wen Qingyu's money.

It’s really hard to hold!

Nowadays, defending the city is very dangerous. Even if you defend the city, there will be no reward, but you may still be liquidated; and if you fail to defend the city, the best outcome is to become a helpless civilian in the territory of Qin Wuhou, and there is a high probability that you will die in battle.

An official gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Now if we defend the city, we will die. If we don't defend the city, we will die too."

"Why not vote for Li Guanyi?!"

Everyone was silent.

During this period of time, Zhou Pinglu used the hidden players left by Wen Qingyu to guide and suppress officials, stimulate the situation and people's hearts, causing everyone to feel insecure; in the end, he continued to increase pressure and cooperate with Pojun outside, and exploded under the stimulation of Chen Tianyi's arrest.

Zhou Pinglu drank and deliberately said, "But, what can we do?"

"We are not Ye Buyi Zhou Liuying, and we have no old relationship with Qin Wuhou. Why should we agree?"

When everyone was quiet, someone whispered:
"What if we open the gates and offer the city?"
