The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4654 Heading to the East Mountain Range

After comforting Xiao Yuxiang, Qin Yun led a group of soldiers to the east side of the imperial capital.

At the same time, a fierce battle broke out on the east side of the imperial capital. Qin Rui and Long Xiao's group were completely trapped between two mountain ranges, and were surrounded in the center by the two groups that were not harmonious to begin with.

Due to the surveillance by the Western sects, Qin Rui and others had to frequently shift their positions, and finally ended up in a thankless situation.

According to Qin Yun's arrangement, Qin Rui and other soldiers' target was the left side of the mountain range. After gradually devouring it, they would return to the imperial capital to rest. After digesting the luck energy brought back and improving their overall strength, they would set out to the right side.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. The interference from the Western sects caused damage to the sect on the left while the sect on the right also suffered losses.

For a time, all the small and medium-sized sects on the east side set their sights on Qin Rui and Long Xiao's group, and inadvertently let the culprits, the disciples from the western sects, escape.

The Xuanban people continued to explore, but their perception could not cover the entire area, because the sect on the east side had a natural ability to block perception, and this energy came from the situation in the Baisha area thousands of years ago.

This kind of residual skills are at least above the third level of Saint, and ordinary people cannot easily break it.

East of the imperial capital, deep in the mountains.

Qin Rui and Long Xiao sat opposite each other, surrounded by a group of soldiers gathered together, everyone's face was full of worry.

They have been trapped here for more than half a month, and everyone is looking forward to the reinforcement of the Great Xia Empire. However, as time goes by, everyone's confidence begins to dissipate step by step.

Seeing the soldiers' worried expressions, Qin Rui immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? It's only half a month away. Father will surely come to rescue us. It's just that the timing may conflict with other battles."

Everyone placed their hopes on Qin Yun. The call of "Father" undoubtedly informed everyone that although Qin Rui had been stripped of his status as a prince, Qin Yun was his father and Xiao Yuxiang was his mother.

With such an identity, Qin Yun had to mobilize the entire country to rescue him. It would be the same this time. As long as I am with him, I will not be surrounded.

The soldiers' uneasy mood was finally relieved, but after so much time had passed, Qin Rui's mood was extremely bad.

The most crucial thing is that now that time is passing by, the army has no more energy and spiritual power supply. With their perception completely isolated, everyone cannot easily obtain the natural spiritual power between heaven and earth, which will inevitably lead to their position being exposed.

The two sects in the eastern mountains were hunting them. If they were exposed to the public, they would be stranded. Seeing Qin Rui's equally worried expression, Long Xiao sighed and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Qin Rui. His Majesty won't turn a blind eye. As you said, it's probably just that other wars broke out in the imperial capital, delaying the rescue. Even if it's not the so-called prince, His Majesty won't ignore us."

On this point, Long Xiao was absolutely confident. He knew very well the importance of the ministers of the Great Xia Empire in His Majesty's heart, and he also knew that the soldiers were an indispensable part of the entire Great Xia Empire.

Hearing this, Qin Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was naturally aware of this, but the soldiers' state of mind had been changing step by step for a long time.

Originally, he had planned to lead everyone and try to break out of the siege on his own, but with morale so low, let alone breaking out of the siege, even keeping calm and waiting for rescue became a luxury.

Long Xiao looked at the soldiers and said loudly, "As ministers of the Great Xia, you know better than anyone else the temper of His Majesty and the attitude of the generals towards the soldiers below. Cheer up!"

"Yes! General Long Xiao!" Seeing that the soldiers were still weak, Long Xiao knew that this could not go on. He looked at the side of the mountain and had a bold idea in his mind. The spiritual power between heaven and earth was not weak. If he could successfully obtain it, it would definitely be a great boost to morale.

Thinking of this, Long Xiao stood up and walked out of the mountain range. Seeing this, Qin Rui hurriedly stopped him: "You are crazy, General Long Xiao. The outside world is now looking for our location. Once it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, he still goes there. If Long Xiao does not stand up, no one else will stand up.

Qin Rui is a prince, and even if he has such an idea, he will never let him take the risk. Moreover, Long Xiao cannot let the soldiers under him take such a risk.

No matter how you look at it, he is the best candidate, and he is willing to do so for the sake of these soldiers.

"Qin Rui, there is no need to stop me. I must mobilize the morale again today, and the prerequisite for doing all this is that I must stand up bravely!" After he finished speaking, regardless of Qin Rui's obstruction, Long Xiao resolutely concealed his breath and walked towards the outside of the mountains.

Seeing this, all the soldiers rushed forward frantically to stop them, but they were still a step too slow. If Long Xiao went alone, he might not be exposed, but if they left impulsively, they would definitely be exposed due to their large number of people.

Qin Rui was filled with resentment. He did not expect that under such circumstances, he, as the commander-in-chief of an army, would hesitate and push General Long Xiao out. It was obvious that maintaining the current situation was a last resort, and he should have done the same thing as General Long Xiao long ago.

Looking at the unknown outside world, Qin Rui's face instantly darkened. He looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Hold your troops still. No one is allowed to leave the mountain range without my permission! My father will definitely come to rescue us. Even if I don't return, you must stay here and wait for my father to rescue you!"

After saying that, the soldiers hurried forward to block Qin Rui's way in order to prevent the same situation as they were unable to stop General Long Xiao.

Seeing this, Qin Rui drew his sword without hesitation, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "Get out of the way! As the Crown Prince of Daxia, I now order you to get out of the way!"

As soon as the word "Crown Prince" came out, the soldiers' mood changed instantly, as if it was an order from His Majesty that could not be disobeyed.

The soldiers hesitated again and again, but had no choice but to make way. Qin Rui resolutely left. Although there were countless dangers and obstacles ahead, when he told the soldiers that he was the prince, the soldiers obeyed him and Qin Rui finally found himself.

This sense of identity is what Qin Rui has been pursuing since he first stepped onto the battlefield. He didn't expect that he would actually achieve it here today.

Qin Rui tried to catch up with Long Xiao, but found that the other party had already gone far away, so he could only change direction and go to the other side.

At the same time, a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power made Long Xiao, who had left the mountains earlier, instantly alert and began to look around.
