"

Shen Guiyi?

Chen Sanshi immediately recognized it.

It was his sister-in-law's voice. When he looked up, he saw a figure dressed in a black and gold dress, slowly landing on a flying sword.

"Hey, isn't this my sister?"

Chen Sanshi walked over carrying two long spears: "How did you find your way here? Perfect timing, since you're here, why don't you stay and help? With your assistance, our chances of winning this battle will increase by another 20%!"

Empress Daqing's face, as white as snow, was expressionless, and her voice devoid of emotion. She repeated calmly, "Come with me."

"It's fine if you don't want to help, you can go now."

Chen Sanshi had anticipated this: "If I die here, Lan Jie'er and Duhe will have to rely on my sister to take care of them. I, Chen Sanshi, will be sorry for them."

"Since you know you've wronged me."

The Empress said calmly, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Chen Sanshi did not answer and turned to leave.

who ever thought.

The Empress raised her sleeve, blocking the way, her tone exuding an unyielding authority: "I'll say it one last time, come with me."

"Are you crazy?"

Chen Sanshi looked at her in disbelief: "It's fine if you don't want to help, but please don't miss the opportunity. Get out of the way."

"if……"

In the Empress's palm, a flying sword appeared with a stream of light, and she said coldly, "What if I don't move aside?"

"Then I'll have no choice but to spar with my sister."

Chen Sanshi spoke firmly, turning his two spears, and bursts of true energy surged forth.

Seeing his attitude.

Empress Daqing finally put down her sword: "Is it worth it? The people in Liangzhou City are not related to you. Why risk your life to save them? Come with me. You have spiritual roots. For my sister's sake, even if you have the worst aptitude, I can send you to a major sect as a menial disciple. You can still live a life of wealth and honor in the mortal world."

“My master is in the city, how can you say we are not related?”

"He was a man who was going to die anyway."

"My senior sister..."

"What? You still want me to save your concubine? Don't even mention your daughter, she's not my sister's flesh and blood, not even your own."

"And what about the common people?"

"People?"

Speaking of it.

A look of confusion finally surfaced in the usually icy eyes of the Empress of Daqing.

She said, quite puzzled, "Shouldn't the common people be the least related to you?"

In response to her question.

Chen Sanshi did not answer directly.

Instead, he reached into his robes and quickly pulled out a stack of silver notes, which he slapped into the Empress's hand, followed by several silver ingots.

"Wait a minute..."

As he spoke, he reached into his waistband and pulled out some copper coins. But before he could hand them over, the Empress disdainfully scattered them all on the ground and said indifferently, "Mortal gold and silver are none of your business. I will not let my sister go hungry or cold."

“I know you are the Emperor of Qing, and who is richer than you? That’s not what I meant. I was answering your question. Didn’t you ask me what the common people have to do with me?”

Chen Sanshi bent down and picked up the scattered banknotes and coins one by one, showing them to himself. Without making a fuss or getting angry, he said:

"At first, I was a hunter."

"Earning a living with a bow and arrow and with my own hands."

"At that time, apart from the people around me, the 'common people' really didn't have much to do with me. I was just one of them, so naturally I would protect myself in this situation."

"But later."

"I've become an 'official'."

"Do you see these silver notes? Each one is worth several thousand taels of silver, more than many people can earn in a lifetime. With them, your sister and I live in a mansion, eat delicacies, and enjoy wealth and luxury."

"So, where do you think this silver came from?"

"nonsense."

The Empress said impatiently, "Naturally, it's your salary."

"No, you're wrong. This silver wasn't given to me by the imperial court, nor by the emperor."

Chen Sanshi took out a handful of spirit grains from his storage bag, his tone suddenly becoming more serious: "It was given to me by the people."

Why did the common people pay the Northern Liang army for food and supplies?

"Isn't it all for the sake of peace and security? When the barbarians breached the Great Wall and stormed into the villages, was there anyone who could stand up and stop them?"

"It is only right and proper to take money from people and help them solve their problems."

There's a saying in the world of镖局 (bodyguard agencies): "The镖 (escort service) is there as long as the person lives; the镖 (escort service) dies when the person dies."

"Even those in the martial arts world understand this principle. Does my sister, no, His Majesty of Daqing, not understand it?"

After a series of remarks...

Empress Daqing pondered for a moment, then finally spoke calmly: "That's an interesting point. But in the end, do you still intend to stay and risk your life?"

Chen Sanshi tacitly agreed.

"Anyway, I've already come, so I haven't failed my sister's request. If you're determined to die, I can't stop you. Do as you please."

After the Empress finished speaking, she ascended into the sky and disappeared.

"Are you really leaving?"

Chen Sanshi shook his head.

He even thought he could persuade his sister-in-law to help.

That's it.

It's nothing more than a desperate gamble!

……

Half an hour later.

Before Hongze Camp could make a move.

The 100,000-strong barbarian army then launched an attack.

The ones at the very front.

Furthermore, there were 10,000 Ironclad Cavalry, which were jointly assembled by four different factions!

These 10,000 elite troops were at ease and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

They were covered from head to toe in thick iron armor, with only their eyes showing. Even their warhorses were carefully selected and clad in armor. They stood in a row, looking like a galloping iron mountain from a distance.

In contrast, Hongze Camp.

The soldiers had only managed to survive the long march and the freezing weather thanks to their unwavering willpower, and they had no traps or weapons specifically designed to counter the Iron Pagoda.

In other words.

The first problem they would face was light cavalry clashing with heavy cavalry.

Under normal circumstances, anyone who understands military strategy knows what the outcome will be.

But at this moment.

Not a single soldier in the Hongze Battalion showed fear on their face; all they possessed was a resolute determination and an unwavering belief in victory.

In front of the battle.

Chen Sanshi reined in his horse and turned to ask, "Brothers, are you afraid?!"

"What is there to fear?!"

The 13,000 soldiers almost unanimously agreed.

"it is good!"

Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice, "Back in Lingzhou, do you still remember the three heavenly lightning bolts at Silver Pine Cliff?! Do you still remember the great fog outside Hulao Pass?!"

Hear this.

The soldiers began to whisper among themselves.

Three thousand Xuanjia soldiers.

I don't know how many times I've told it to the other brothers.

But everyone was skeptical.

After all, it's all too mysterious.

How can a battle suddenly be aided by heavenly lightning?

There were also heavenly soldiers possessing him.

That's pure fantasy.

But the general suddenly brought this up just before the decisive battle... could it be...?

"grown ups!"

Xia Cong was somewhat excited, but also somewhat puzzled: "Could it be..."

"Not bad!"

Chen Sanshi gave the necessary pre-battle rallying speech: "We, the righteous army, have the help of Heaven, while the barbarians before you are merely relying on demons to cause chaos! They will face divine retribution!"
