The strongest nine thousand years old

The great battle finally ended at dawn.

Three poles in the sun.

Chen Dong didn't know much about martial arts, he only knew that there were nine levels from the ninth level to the first level.

He had twice the feeling of being neither empty nor relaxed, and his limbs, as well as his tendons, veins, and acupoints all seemed to have been baptized. This made him feel that he might have entered the realm of an eighth-grade warrior.

When Chen Dong asked Yan Shijiu for confirmation, Yan Shijiu gave an affirmative answer with a complicated look.

"Wow, Longdidong, I've really made it this time. This is undoubtedly the secret technique of dual cultivation!" Chen Dong was ecstatic.

While others study hard and practice diligently, he only needs the harmony of yin and yang.

The body is holding up, but the waist is a little weak.

"You only got one fragment, so you should find the other fragments as soon as possible." Yan Shijiu reminded in a low voice.

"I originally wanted to look for you and search for you carefully, but I didn't expect to run into this mess. It's okay, we'll go again when we get back to Yanjing City. It won't take more than a few days." Chen Dong said.

Yan Shijiu asked suspiciously, "You seem to be sure that Xiao Li can win? Is it because of Concubine Xiao?"

"You are just a barbarian, you can't defeat my great country." Chen Dong said confidently.

Yan Shijiu rolled his eyes at Chen Dong.

The two of them packed up briefly and went downstairs.

Yuwen Liang and his party, and Yan Shisan and his party, sat in distinct groups.

Although Chen Dong guessed that the masked man last night was from the Yuwen family, he could not do anything to the Yuwen family without evidence and had to appease Yuwen Liang.

"General Yuwen, you have worked hard." Chen Dong said politely.

Yu Wenliang said meaningfully: "It's not hard, it's Eunuch Chen and his subordinates who are hard-working."

Chen Dong looked at Yan Shisan, who stepped forward and whispered, "Four people died, and their identities were not found."

"Have you seen that fourth-grade warrior?" Chen Dong asked.

Yan Shisan shook his head.

"Okay, let's set off early and reach Youzhou City as soon as possible to complete the mission." Chen Dong said.

Yan Shisan and others had already been exposed, so they simply followed Chen Dong openly.

Yuwen Liang asked indirectly about the origins of these people, but Chen Dong just laughed it off and only said their name - Jinyiwei!

…………

When approaching Youzhou City, bursts of smoke could be seen everywhere, and corpses lay lying on the barren land, revealing a hideous and terrifying appearance.

When passing through a village, there were no living people inside, only charred houses and corpses.

A naked male corpse was hung on a thick pillar. The body was covered with scars and torn flesh, indicating that he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.

A vulture was standing on the shoulder of the corpse, gnawing at its flesh and blood.

A hint of pity flashed across Chen Dong's eyes, and he raised his hand and shot an arrow.

The crossbow arrow pierced into the vulture's body with a "puff" sound. The vulture let out a wail and fell to the ground.

Yu Wenliang said indifferently: "Eunuch Chen, the war is everywhere, and there are corpses everywhere in the wilderness. Even if you kill this vulture, there will be another one."

"Then do nothing?" Chen Dong asked coldly, "Do you know why he was hung up? It's because he resisted those barbarians! Those barbarians wanted to use his body to establish their authority! He is a hero who resisted foreign invasion and protected the people of Dayan!"

A trace of sadness flashed across Yu Wenliang's eyes. "How many people have fought against foreign races, blew up on the battlefield, and finally became a pile of dry bones? Who can remember heroes?"

"I remember!" Chen Dong gritted his teeth and said, "When I return, I will advise His Majesty to erect a monument and build a cemetery. All those who died for Dayan must not die in vain! Their families and their descendants must be properly taken care of!"

"If Your Majesty doesn't agree, I will build it myself! A hero shouldn't be unknown, shedding blood and tears!"

Yu Wenliang's body shook violently. The guards were even more excited.

If this is really possible, your name will be recorded in history!

Yan Shisan and others couldn't help but reveal envy in their eyes.

They are the shadow guards, the royal guards, the hyenas kept in the dark by the imperial court. Do they have such an opportunity?

Noticing their expressions, Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "As long as you are loyal to Dayan, everyone will have a chance!"

This gave Yan Shisan and the others a positive answer.

"We will swear allegiance to Dayan until death! We will die for Dayan!" Yan Shisan and others looked at each other, knelt on one knee, and saluted with fists.

The guards were so excited that they shouted loudly, "We will swear to be loyal to Dayan until death! We will die for Dayan!"

Yu Wenliang took a deep breath, a gleam in his eyes, "If you can convince your majesty, I will seriously consider your proposal!"

Although Yuwen Liang did not say it directly, he was already shaken in his heart.

Who doesn’t want to leave a name in history?

Chen Dong laughed wildly and said, "Good! Enter the city quickly and return to Beijing quickly!"

Everyone collected the hanged body and, since they didn't know his name, they put up a wooden sign that read "Unknown Hero" for him.

Yan Shijiu looked at the man's straight spine, which was full of unrestrained and outstanding temperament. Especially those powerful words, which were even more upright and heroic.

Heroes should not be allowed to bleed and shed tears!

Yan Shijiu was dazzled.

…………

Everyone arrived at the city of Youzhou in the evening.

The city gates were tightly closed, and there were large patches of undried blood on the ground. The abandoned tents seemed to tell of the barbarians' former bravery and might. But now they were like a den of ghosts.

Between the camp and the city gate, about a hundred feet outside the city gate, a series of winding trenches were dug, and under the trenches were buried spikes, which were dripping with blood, and some of them were hung with the corpses of war horses that had not been collected in time.

Ladders were randomly abandoned on the ground, some were broken into pieces, and some were still intact. This showed that the barbarians were in a hurry when they withdrew.

The originally green city wall changed color after being smeared with boiling oil, gold juice and other city defense weapons. The scars from swords and knives silently told of the fierceness of the battle.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, everything before my eyes silently recreated the tragic siege of Youzhou City.

The soldiers defending the city on the city wall huddled together between the city walls, sleepy and tired. The only flag still flying majestically was the black dragon flag of Dayan.

Despite countless hardships, Youzhou City was saved and the barbarians retreated!

Everyone was silent. Even Chen Dong was shocked by the scene before him.

"Xiao Li did a good job!" Chen Dong said with emotion.

"One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers." Yan Shijiu said quietly.

Yuwen Liang said, "As long as we can beat back the barbarians, what does it matter if some people die?"

"I will definitely report this to His Majesty and ask for credit for the soldiers who died in the battle!" Chen Dong said solemnly.

They sacrificed their lives for their country and they deserve to be remembered and respected by the world.

"squeak"

The city gate was wide open, and Xiao Li, escorted by a team of soldiers, walked towards Chen Dong and others.

When he saw Chen Dong, Xiao Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Eunuch Chen, we are lucky to have you to defend Youzhou City!"

Thanks to Chen Dong?

Does defending the city have anything to do with him?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and shock.
