Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

However, Gu Jiantang never expected that he would come over so full of vigor.

But that's how they saw Jiang Xuan and Cao Changqing.

At this moment, Gu Jiantang's hair was disheveled, his deep red armor was torn to pieces, and a sizable wound appeared on his lower abdomen, from which blood gushed out like a spring.

Gu Jiantang pressed hard around the wound, barely managing to stop the bleeding.

"General Li Yang, Gu Jiantang."

Gu Jiantang took a deep breath, gripped the long sword in his hand with a reverse grip, and then looked at Jiang Xuan.

"It's me. You must be Jiang Xuan."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, and Gu Jiantang, without waiting for him to speak, pointed the long sword in his hand directly at Jiang Xuan.

As the general of Liyang, Gu Jiantang had no intention of surrendering.

Since he lost, he lost.

To die is to die.

It's a pity for these people; they'll probably be buried with him.

Gu Jiantang glanced around and saw the large ships of the Qingzhou Navy and the troops of Xiangfan City, which had already formed an encirclement.

Jiang Xuan looked at Gu Jiantang, then took a step forward and said, "I think our General Li Yang is still somewhat dissatisfied."

Gu Jiantang couldn't help but think to himself that if it were a fair and square confrontation, his army would not fear anyone.

But I never expected that this so-called "block formation" would actually be so powerful.

Someone had told him this before, but Gu Jiantang didn't pay any attention to it.

But now it seems that I was too naive and underestimated Jiang Xuan's abilities.

It's not that the other person is too young, but that he is too weak.

As Gu Jiantang thought this, his expression grew increasingly grim.

He had hoped to take this opportunity to avenge his previous defeat and outdo Xu Xiao.

Now look what happened, we've lost face big time.

So Gu Jiantang couldn't help but think that if he died like this, he might at least earn a reputation for loyalty and bravery.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiantang twitched his long sword, slightly bent his legs, and suddenly unleashed his true energy.

Faced with Gu Jiantang, who was serious and determined to fight to the death, Jiang Xuan didn't say much.

He stepped out and raised his hand to the man in front of him.

"bring it on!"

Chapter 105 Suppressing Gu Jiantang with One Hand, Two Sides Collaborate and Plan

boom!

Gu Jiantang's footsteps left a deep footprint on the ground, and a powerful force spread outwards, cracking like a spider web.

Gu Jiantang moved very quickly and appeared in front of Jiang Xuan in an instant.

However, the moment Jiang Xuan raised his right hand, it slammed down on Gu Jiantang the instant the other man swung his longsword.

Gu Jiantang possessed boundless power, coupled with such a wild and domineering sword intent. Even ordinary terrestrial immortals would probably have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

However, Jiang Xuan's outstretched hand suddenly fell.

They saw that the power of heaven and earth, true energy, sword intent, and so on around Gu Jiantang all disappeared in an instant.

boom!

With a loud crash, Gu Jiantang fell from mid-air and knelt directly on the ground.

Gu Jiantang supported himself with one hand on his long sword, trying to stand up, but Jiang Xuan moved his hand slightly, and he knelt down again.

"Ah ah ah..."

Gu Jiantang's eyes were bloodshot, and with his roar, his aura grew stronger and stronger, even giving the impression that he wanted to break through.

Yo?

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. Gu Jiantang had suppressed his emotions his whole life, yet he neither became a terrestrial immortal nor achieved the fame of Xu Xiao.

Unexpectedly, under his own suppression, he actually showed signs of breaking through.

Not bad.

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, actually loosening his grip by half.

At that moment, Gu Jiantang suddenly roared, and a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted from his body.

The sword intent was almost tangible, slashing down fiercely at Jiang Xuan and the others from a high vantage point.

Just as Cao Changqing was about to make a move, Jiang Xuan chuckled and suddenly clenched his fist in the air.

Then Gu Jiantang suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, he knelt down completely, pinned down by Jiang Xuan with one hand, and could no longer stand up.

Gu Jiantang knelt on the ground, the long sword in his hand turning into fragments that scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Xuan walked over at this moment. He looked at Gu Jiantang, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, and then turned his gaze to him with interest.

"Gu Jiantang, do you want to become a general more successful and more renowned than Xu Xiao?"

Gu Jiantang slowly raised his head, glanced at Jiang Xuan, chuckled, and then lowered his head again.

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

“Why would I kill you? It’s pointless.” Jiang Xuan shrugged as he spoke, then continued, “For so many years, you’ve been controlled by the Li Yang royal family. As a general, you don’t even have any military power.”

"I really don't know how you managed to put up with this. Are you really willing to accept it?"

Gu Jiantang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

But is Gu Jiantang really willing to accept this?

I'm definitely not willing to accept this!

After all, they were both Grand Generals and Pillars of State, yet the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

"Whether in the martial arts world or among ordinary people, everyone only knows Xu Xiao, the Butcher, but they don't know that you made great contributions for Li Yang back then. You shouldn't be treated like this."

Gu Jiantang raised his head, his expression showing a hint of conflict.

After all, he was also a member of the Liyang Dynasty, and a Grand General at that—Gu Jiantang!

However, Jiang Xuan was right; he was indeed unwilling, extremely unwilling.

Otherwise, why would Gu Jiantang have come here to fight Jiang Xuan to the death?

Unfortunately, it was a complete failure, and a one-sided failure at that.

As Gu Jiantang thought of this, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Xuan.

"Does it have to be your decision?"

“Of course.” Jiang Xuan shrugged and smiled. “It might not be the case for other places and other people, but for these few people, I’m the one who calls the shots.”

Gu Jiantang nodded upon hearing this, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke again: "I can join Xiangfan and Western Chu, but I have one condition."

Shu Xiu frowned slightly at this moment, her expression somewhat impatient, and said directly, "You've already lost, you're nothing now."

"Why do you still have the courage to make demands?"

Gu Jiantang looked at Jiang Xuan, who nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

"I want to kill Xu Xiao with my own hands and destroy Li Yang!"

"Oh?" Jiang Xuan looked at Gu Jiantang with a smile and couldn't help but ask, "What, do you think I can succeed?"

"Are you sure I can destroy Li Yang and kill Xu Xiao?"

Gu Jiantang smiled at this moment, after all, regardless of whether it was possible or not, he should first make his dream bigger.

If it works, great; if not...

Is it possible for things to get any worse than they are now? Most likely not.

Thinking this, Gu Jiantang looked at Jiang Xuan and nodded vigorously.

After that, Jiang Xuan helped the other person up. He glanced at Gu Jiantang's wound and immediately stopped the bleeding.

Then, after giving Gu Jiantang a hemostatic and restorative medicine, they officially began the process of recruiting him.

At this moment, Cao Changqing stood aside and watched as Gu Jiantang, along with Xu Weixiong, began to organize and recruit the troops. His expression suddenly became subtle.

After all, he had never imagined that fighting could be so simple.

Jiang Xuan seemed to have picked up an army of hundreds of thousands without doing anything.

Some people died in the massive formation, while others, seeing the situation was dire, simply fled.

Furthermore, the other troops sent from Liyang, along with various generals, all scattered and fled when they saw that things were not going well.

However, a large portion of them had no chance of escaping, as their route had been blocked by Jiang Xuan and his men, and the Qingzhou navy was also watching them closely.

Anyone who resisted was met with a hail of arrows.

Furthermore, since General Gu Jiantang had surrendered, many others obediently kept quiet.

You can’t beat him, and you can’t run away.

Then join, what else can you do?

Then their army in Xiangfan City grew from 300,000 at the beginning to more than 400,000, nearly 500,000.

Although there are more and more people, the place is also becoming more and more bloated, and there are more and more troublesome things.

In addition to internal friction, there are also various individuals with ulterior motives who want to instigate a mutiny.

In short, all sorts of things came one after another.

However, Xu Weixiong was Xu Weixiong after all; she found those people before the mutiny even occurred.

And under the supervision of Gu Jiantang, Cao Changqing and others, they directly killed over a hundred people.
