Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

The sky was filled with yellow sand as a group of three arrived at the first checkpoint in Beimang.

The gate in front of the pass was closed, and the Jingxing Road was crowded with merchants transporting goods. Right now, Beimang was in a state of war, and all the checkpoints had been closed long ago to prevent spies from sneaking into the city.

Even convoys transporting supplies must be strictly inspected before being allowed to pass.

"Looking at the situation, we can't leave Daomaguan. Why don't we wait a few days and then find a way to disguise ourselves as a merchant caravan and infiltrate them?"

Xu Fengnian jogged back to the front of the car. He had just gone forward to inquire about the news. Since the war with Beimang, all the border passes have been put under martial law, and only the couriers who convey military intelligence can leave the pass every day.

Even the teams transporting supplies have to wait until the designated days of each month to enter.

Now, there are still three days until the designated date before the road can be opened to traffic.

"Beimang reacted quite quickly. I guess the news of the loss of troops on the front lines spread to the border towns."

Lin Fan stepped out of the carriage, looked up at the fairly solid pass ahead, and suggested with a smile, "Three days is too long. I must seize the day."

"Then we can attack them. How many soldiers can a border pass hold? There's no need to hide our heads and tails."

Tianshan Tonglao had a grim expression as she stood proudly in front of Lin Fan, eager to try and waiting for the order from her leader.

Xu Fengnian was stunned by these words and quickly tried to persuade them, "Wouldn't this expose our whereabouts?"

Now that they haven't even entered the gate of Beimang, they are going to take action directly. Can the Beimang court tolerate this?

After that, they will definitely send strong men to rob and kill them along the way.

Lin Fan clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "So what if my whereabouts are exposed? I have always been upright and aboveboard. I want to clearly tell the Northern Mang court that I have come here in person to meet with the heroes of Northern Mang!"

He clearly wanted to tell the Queen of Beimang that entering Beimang was as easy as drinking water, and that if anyone had the guts, come and deal with him.

Most of the Northern Mang army was gathered on the banks of the Sanggan River. The rest were either private soldiers under the command of various military governors or guarding the imperial city.

He didn't believe that Beimang had the courage to give up the defense line, recall the troops, and turn around to encircle and suppress them.

The more trouble they cause in Beimang, the more stable the front battlefield will be.

Xu Fengnian opened his mouth but swallowed his words. He couldn't persuade this big boss anyway, so he pulled out the Spring Thunder from his waist and stood beside Lin Fan. "How do you want to fight, Commander Lin?"

"The highest-ranking official at this pass is a cavalry captain. I know where his office is in the city!"

Xiliang’s intelligence network is also very powerful. They had already figured out the situation along the way before coming.

"No need to go to such lengths. Since we need to present a gift to the Empress, I will do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, infinite true energy surged around Lin Fan's body. He stretched out a finger forward and gently pointed at the pass. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

First, a strong wind gushed out, rushing towards the pass like a mad dragon, directly blowing away the people and carriages in front of the pass. For a moment, people and horses fell to the ground, and countless supplies were scattered around.

Before the people who fell to the ground could figure out what was happening, they heard a low and powerful roar.

The next second, the earth shook violently, and the mountains and hills shook as if thousands of horses were galloping and shaking the ground.

Whether inside or outside the city, people felt that the earth beneath their feet had become a huge ship in the waves, the sky was spinning, the houses were collapsing, and any building was no different from paper in the face of this great force.

Someone was the first to come to his senses and yelled, "It's the earth dragon that's turning over! Run to an open area!"

When they heard that it was an earthquake, the soldiers and civilians in the city fled in all directions, shouting and screaming loudly.

In a tavern in the city, an old scholar bent down to protect his book basket, his expression changing several times. What was happening at the moment was far beyond his expectations.

The old scholar hesitated for a moment, but still set off towards the city wall which had already been in chaos. He was not affected by the shaking of the ground at all, and released a huge amount of true energy as he walked.

Two more streams of true energy shot up into the sky, one large and one small, the large end supporting the city wall that was showing signs of disintegration, barely able to hold it steady.

The smaller end was applied to the buildings in the city most severely affected by the earthquake, buying precious time for the people inside to escape.

Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled at Xu Fengnian, "Before we even entered Daomaguan Pass, they already knew our whereabouts. I told you there's no need to hide."

As he spoke, he pressed down the finger he had pointed at. The city wall shook even more violently. Huge rocks were shaken out of the wall and smashed down hard, stirring up a cloud of dust. Countless figures swayed in the flying dust.

On the other hand, the old Confucian scholar standing under the city wall noticed that the earthquake was getting more violent, and his idea of ​​preserving the city wall and the people inside the city was dashed.

Weighing the pros and cons of two evils, the old scholar sighed and released his greatest energy, allowing the city wall to collapse and fall in the shaking, trying his best to protect the people in the city from being affected. This time, there would be no resistance.

If they wanted to protect the people in the city, Lin Fan would not stop them, but if they went too far and tried to keep Daomaguan Pass, that would not work.

"boom!"

With a loud roar, the originally tall and solid city wall turned into rubble and yellow soil all over the ground.

"Fengnian drives the car, let's enter the customs."

Lin Fan turned and got into the carriage. Xu Fengnian drove the carriage over the ruined city wall. The rubble and debris blocking the road were cleared by the Tianshan Child-Fairy with just a wave of her hand.

Some people in the city lay in pools of blood, some knelt on the ground wailing, and countless debris and dust were scattered around.

The old scholar stood beside the ruins and sighed deeply.

When Xu Fengnian drove beside him, Lin Fan stopped the carriage and said through the curtain:

"Why worry so much, old sir? This should be the Empress's concern. If the war really spreads to Northern Wilderness, the tragedy of destruction and massacre will not be limited to just one city or one state."

"By then, how many Six Arts Palace Masters will you have in Northern Mang to come out and help?"

After saying that, Lin Fan asked Xu Fengnian to continue driving forward and ignored the old scholar.

The old scholar saluted silently in the direction of the departing carriage. Destroying the city was what the enemy did, but sparing the people in the city was truly a benevolent act.

After the carriage had left Daomaguan for a long time, Xu Fengnian could not help but ask, "From what Commander Lin said, could that old scholar be the head of the Six Arts Palace?"

"But Beimang already knew we were going to enter, so why didn't they send a large army to stop us?"

"Who said no one was sent? Even the Lord of the Six Arts Mansion came in person to see the situation. He has already given us enough face." Lin Fan said with a smile.

The normally taciturn Tianshan Child-Father spoke up at the right moment, answering on behalf of Lin Fan:

"For a warrior who has reached the Heavenly Man Realm, his true Qi is constantly energized. Even if a hundred thousand troops were sent, it would be difficult to stop him if he wanted to leave. The best way to deal with him is to use warriors of the same realm to restrain each other."
