Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning
Chapter 67: The Prince of Chu Dies
Zhao Guangyi said: "My dear, please sit down and have dinner with me!"
Cheng Yaojin said, "Your Majesty, there is a difference between the monarch and his subjects. I'd better wait outside the tent for a while!" As he said that, he consciously retreated outside the military tent.
Zhao Feiyan whispered to Zhao Guangyi: "Father, aren't you afraid that the food and wine might be poisonous?"
Zhao Guangyi said: "Even if it is poisonous, my father will die a full death. Moreover, General Cheng Yaojin will not betray me.
He and Ouyang Lu are not the same kind of people. Don’t underestimate him because he is a rough man. When fighting, he is rough but also meticulous, and his integrity and character are beyond doubt. "
Zhao Feiyan thought to herself, "Father does understand the principle of 'don't employ someone if you doubt him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him', but isn't Ouyang Lu's lesson profound enough?
As the saying goes, 'You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others'. He is too naive to be a king! However, even if Cheng Yaojin has any conspiracy, I am here, and all the monsters and demons can't cause much trouble! "
Zhao Feiyan used her magic power to scan the food thoroughly and confirmed that it was non-toxic. Only then did she feel relieved. She was actually very hungry, but the miserable life in the palace made her have super strong survival ability.
The father and daughter sat facing each other in silence and ate in silence. It felt so good to be with family.
While eating, Zhao Feiyan thought of her biological mother and said to herself, "Mother, when I return to the capital this time, I will fight to the death to rescue you from the cold palace. I hope you are still safe and sound."
After Zhao Guangyi and his daughter finished their meal, Cheng Yaojin summoned all the generals of the Jingxi camp to discuss matters in the military tent. Zhao Guangyi sat in the main seat, and Princess Nihuang Zhao Feiyan stood next to her father.
Cheng Yaojin said respectfully: "Everyone, it is our honor that the king has come to our Jingxi camp today."
The generals whispered, "General, where is the king?"
Cheng Yaojin was the first to kneel down and said, "General Cheng Yaojin of Jingxi leads all the soldiers of the eight camps of Jingxi to pay homage to our king. Long live our king, long live our king, long, long live our king!"
All the generals were stunned. Although the old man was wearing a royal robe, it was tattered and worn. As the ruler of Later Tang, he was in such a miserable state. They did not expect that.
After a moment of silence, the generals all prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Zhao Guangyi said, "Generals, please stand up without formalities! I am imprisoned by Ouyang Lu, which is why I am in such a state. Do you dare to follow me back to the capital, kill the rebels, and achieve unprecedented merits?"
The generals answered in unison: "We are willing to follow the king, kill the treacherous prime minister, and join the valiant Tang souls in the national crisis!"
Zhao Guangyi smiled and said, "I am very pleased with what you said. It is more than a hundred miles to the capital, and General Situ will certainly set up many obstacles. Sacrifices are inevitable. If anyone among you wants to withdraw, please stand up now. I will not stop you. But if you surrender to the old villain Situ halfway, don't blame me for turning my face against you!"
All the generals said in unison: "We swear to follow the king till death, and we will never regret it!"
Cheng Yaojin said, "In that case, everyone, go back to your tents and prepare! In half an hour, the troops will enter Wangjing and kill the old thief Situ!"
Zhao Feiyan observed the generals present and saw one with a strange expression, which was indeed suspicious. However, she did not alarm this person, but planted an eavesdropping talisman on him when he was not paying attention.
It is called a talisman but it is actually an invisible thing. Ordinary people cannot see it at all. But once it is planted, it will follow you like a shadow and cannot be washed off even by taking a shower.
Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Guangyi studied the route of advance for a while beside the map and decided to take a small road and attack the enemy unexpectedly, thus catching Ouyang Lu off guard.
After Zhao Feiyan awakened her martial spirit, she practiced day and night. She was not good at large-scale marches and battles, so she did not get involved. She thought to herself, "Cheng Yaojin is known as the 'Ever-Victorious General' of the Later Tang Dynasty. I think this man is definitely not a person who gets his reputation in vain."
Zhao Feiyan asked the soldiers to prepare armor and war horses for her. She wanted to lead a battalion of soldiers as the vanguard, break into the capital, and capture the old thief Situ alive.
When the generals heard about this, they all came to persuade her, "The princess is worth a lot of money, how can she put herself in danger?"
Zhao Guangyi, the ruler of the Later Tang Dynasty, had seen his daughter's bravery and said with a smile: "My generals, Princess Nihuang has found a way to practice cultivation. Women are as capable as men. If she wants to be a pioneer, let her go!"
The soldiers were skeptical, but since the king's orders were hard to disobey, they stopped trying to persuade him.
They had never heard of this newly crowned Princess Nihuang before and thought she was the king's adopted daughter when he was in trouble. No one connected her with the former good-for-nothing princess in the Later Tang Palace.
Martial arts are flourishing in the Shenwu Continent, but it is not a continent of cultivation. What they call cultivation is just a way to strengthen the body, so people who can fly over eaves and walk on walls are no different from gods in their eyes.
Zhao Feiyan's awakened martial soul is extremely powerful, with dual-attribute attacks, making her like a god in the Shenwu Continent.
She seldom uses water-based powers, and the few times she does, she only uses them to put out fires. This is a complete waste of talent, while fire-based powers are the most aggressive and can effectively kill opponents. In an instant, the enemy is reduced to ashes. It is a powerful killing weapon, and Feiyan never gets tired of it.
However, using fire-based abilities is very damaging to the body and can only be used six times a day, which is very limited.
Zhao Feiyan also tried to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to assist in her practice, but many attempts ended in failure. However, Zhao Feiyan did not give up on the path of cultivation.
She understood that the awakening of the martial soul and the practice of Taoism were two different things. There were always some people in this world who were gifted and had superpowers that ordinary people did not have, which were called superpowers.
However, the path of cultivation is to create something out of nothing. Even a scholar who is weak and unable to even tie a chicken can kill a cow with one punch once he embarks on the path of cultivation.
The act of cultivating Taoism, seizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and strengthening oneself, is originally an act against the will of heaven, but once successful, the cultivator can not only prolong his lifespan, but also possess magical powers that ordinary people cannot possess, such as flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, and flying with a sword.
For a true cultivator, flying over eaves and walking on walls is just a piece of cake, a little trick not worth mentioning.
Zhao Feiyan was thinking about cultivation, but the eavesdropping talisman brought a shocking plot, "That old man Zhao Guangyi has fled to the Jingxi camp. Go and report to the Prime Minister and let him make plans early!"
Zhao Feiyan finally confirmed that the guy with a strange expression just now was a spy planted by Ouyang Lu in the Jingxi camp.
However, she was not ready to alert the enemy yet. She had already memorized the man's appearance, so it would not be too late to deal with him on the way.
