Time Travel: My Lord, Your Missing Fiancee Is Back

Chapter 87 Shen Hongxuan Comes to the Rescue

At noon the next day, a giant bird quickly approached the aerial battlefield.

"That's... Yunying?"

Jiang Qing thought he was seeing things, "Eunuch Wang, did you see that bird?"

Wang Fu put his hands on the pergola and looked at the big bird that was getting closer and closer. "Your Highness, isn't that Weiyuan Hou's mount Yunying? Why is it here?"

Jiang Qing looked at Shen Hongxuan who fell from the sky and landed on the deck, "Power..."

Shen Hongxuan, who was wearing a mask, clasped his hands, turned on the spot, tapped the deck with his toes, and catapulted onto a warship, slashing the necks of several archers on the deck with his sword...

Jiang Qing: “…”

Wang Fu: "It seems that he also knows that he should not be here. Your Highness, let's just pretend we don't know him."

Shang Nan and Wang Zheng each led a team to deal with ground-to-air facilities such as catapults and spiritual power cannons.

Yunying flapped her wings and flew away several small flying boats, and then cried like an eagle towards the air combat soldiers who were still trying to attack her. The sound was so sharp that it pierced the eardrums of those who didn't have time to protect their ears.

"No, this bird is too arrogant. Xiao Hei, kill it!"

On the ground, someone was pushing his motionless mount, "It has wings, and you have wings too, why don't you move a little..."

A vulture named Xiao Hei turned around, faced its butt towards its owner, and turned its head to leisurely comb its feathers.

"Little Black..."

Shen Hongxuan was like a man in an empty space, invincible. The archers, gunners, crossbowmen and the helmsman were all blown away, chopped off, cut off... and fell off the boat.

The Weizhou Army's combat deployment was in chaos, and the combat commander was so scared that he hid behind the crowd and dared not show his face.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Fu said firmly: "Your Highness, Weiyuan Hou is not in the king realm."

"Oh, what realm is he in?"

"At least above the Emperor Realm."

Jiang Qing took a strong bow, aimed at the commander of the Weizhou army, and shot an arrow through the combat commander and the shielding soldier in front of him.

Next, the situation became one-sided. The ships of the Weizhou army, which had accepted the mission to assist the Zhou family, were all killed or injured.

Although the Weizhou army on the ground had a large number of people and strong forces, they had no large sailing ships and were not good at air combat. They could only stand on the ground and stare at the Qin flags flying on the Qin warships in the sky.

Zhang Zi, the ground commander of the Weizhou Army, looked at Zhou Zeyin anxiously, "What should we do? If we can't take them down, the news that the King of Qin was assassinated here will be confirmed." We can't die without any evidence.

"Transfer more. Transfer all the garrison troops to me. I want to see how long they can stay on the ship!"

A warship of a hundred tons consumes tens of thousands of spiritual stones every moment. The King of Qin came to Weizhou secretly to investigate a case, not to go to war. Even if there were warships, the spiritual stones and supplies they were equipped with would certainly be limited. It would definitely take less than three to five days for the water, food, weapons and ammunition on the ship to run out.

Zhou Zeyin: "It's impossible for the King of Qin to stay in the sky forever! Keep attacking, block all their landing routes! Shoot the ship down!"

Zhang Zi was embarrassed. "Lord Zhou, we can't use troops unless we are fighting. If we mobilize troops privately, it's not a big problem if it's only a few thousand people. But if we mobilize tens of thousands of people, it's probably not appropriate, right? If His Majesty knew about it..."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zeyin grabbed Zhang Zi by the collar and lifted him up. "Just transfer when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill your whole family!"

Zhang Zi immediately shrank his neck and said, "Transfer, transfer immediately, I'll transfer immediately." He turned around and rode back to the camp at full speed, holding down his pounding heart. This was a deal that could get him killed, so what was he really going to do?

Mobilizing several thousand people could be considered as suppressing bandits. Even if the King of Qin revealed his identity, it could be said that he was blind and could not read, and killed the wrong people.

Mobilizing tens of thousands of troops to kill the King of Qin, who had already revealed his identity, could be a big or small problem. If they were all killed and there were no evidence, there would be no worries, and it would be fine.

But what if, by some chance, someone supports the King of Qin and wants to uphold the orthodoxy and rescues a few of them... then the consequence will be the execution of all nine generations of the clan.

"What, General Zhang wants to go back on his word and betray Saint Zhou?"

A Zhou family secret guard appeared behind Zhang Zi.

Zhang Zi immediately turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "No. I'm just too tired and need to take a break. I'll go and mobilize the troops right away. The weather is hot now, and the soldiers train in the morning and evening and rest during the day, so it may take some time. Please be patient and wait."

"Go!"

However, the speed of gathering personnel was very slow. It was not until night that 20,000 people were gathered.

The Zhou family's secret guards were getting impatient, "General Zhang, take these people to the Acropolis to quell the rebellion immediately!"

Zhang Zi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay. Young man, please go ahead. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to reach the Acropolis in three days."

Zhou clan secret guards: "Three days? I can give you half a day at most! You must rush to the Acropolis at dawn today! Otherwise, I will report to Governor Zhang and Saint Zhou."

Zhang Zi smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, I also want to get there in half a day. But now, there are no carriages or flying boats. They have to rely on their own two legs. Even if they run to death, they can't reach the Acropolis in half a day.

The Acropolis is 460 kilometers away from our state camp. Three days is the fastest speed without rest day and night, without eating or drinking.

Moreover, they are all human beings. They will feel thirsty, hungry, sleepy and sick. If they really don't eat or drink, they may not even be able to reach the Acropolis. Some will die or get sick. There will be few left standing.

We have to leave some time for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the road. Also, the salaries for our 20,000 soldiers have not been settled yet, and we only have enough food for five days. We are thinking about reducing the load and marching faster..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't you have cavalry?"

"There are only 1,000 cavalry left. We have to keep them for emergencies. What if someone sneaks into our camp while we're on the march..."

The Zhou family's secret guard gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you have 50,000 garrison troops? I only brought out 20,000, and there are still 30,000 left?"

Zhang Zi really wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back: "Young man, soldiers are also human beings, they also have parents and children. Now is the slack season for farming, and there are no foreign enemies invading, so it's a good time to let them go home to visit their families. Look, have you recruited the rest? They are all here."

The Zhou family's secret guard's face gradually turned pale. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go, right now! We must reach the Acropolis by sunset tomorrow. Otherwise, we will have to go and answer to Saint Zhou with our heads held high!"

Zhang Zi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"General Zhang, what should we do?" Deputy General Liang Cheng came over. "The Zhou family's secret guards are clearly forcing us to die! It's so hot that the soldiers are thirsty even if they drink a bucket of water a day. If we are not careful during the rapid march, we will all get heatstroke. By then, let alone killing the enemy, it will be difficult for us to survive to the Acropolis..."

"Yes, General Zhang, we're going to die anyway, why don't we..."

Zhang Zi and his lieutenants suddenly looked at Qi Ze, who was dressed in white and looked very different. "Who are you?"
