Steward Wu said coldly, "Today, none of you will be allowed to set foot in the Governor's Mansion!"

"you……"

Just as Hou Bao was about to open his mouth, he heard a strong and resonant voice.

"Uncle Wu, who did you fight with this time? You need to work on your temper."

Chen Sanshi, dressed in a white robe, walked out the door: "Eunuch Hou? What are you doing here...?"

"Commander Chen? You've finally shown yourself!"

Eunuch Hou immediately cast aside his concerns: "There is an order from the Ministry of War to transfer you to Jiaozhou to take command of the Imperial Guard and lead the western expedition against the immortals!"

"Xuan!"

"Champion Marquis, General of the Cavalry, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Liang Military Governor's Office, and Commander of the Hongze Camp, Chen Sanshi, is to take command in Jiaozhou. He must recover the two western prefectures within one year. He must depart immediately without delay!"

Hou Gonggong's loud voice rang out.

"Your subject obeys."

Chen Sanshi accepted the transfer order.

"Then Commander, you shall set off immediately."

Eunuch Hou breathed a sigh of relief: "The soldiers at the front are all in the Cloud Palace now, waiting for you to go and take charge of the overall situation."

After giving him repeated instructions, he led his men away.

"Pooh!"

Butler Wu spat at their retreating figures, saying, "A bunch of good-for-nothings! They rely on the Governor's Mansion for everything, and in the end, they're always suspicious of each other. They treated the old Governor the same way, and now they're treating the young Governor the same way!"

"Alright, Uncle Wu."

Chen Sanshi looked at the steward, who was over seventy years old: "It wasn't just for the court. As soon as I came back, I saw the government affairs I had handled during this period. Many places are short of food. If we don't end the war soon, we really won't be able to hold on."

After the collapse of the imperial court.

The ancestral lineage has been lost.

Various sects flocked in.

Nobody has a good time.

"Isn't it?"

Steward Wu shook his head and sighed, "Since the ten days in Yunzhou, we have been fighting for three or four years. Many places have also suffered from floods and droughts. Where is there much food left?"

Chen Sanshi handed the transfer order to his servant: "My fear is that this battle will not be quick."

"Oh?"

Steward Wu was surprised to hear this: "Does the Commander mean that even you are not confident of quickly repelling the Western Qi army?"

"No one in the world is destined to be invincible."

Chen Sanshi gazed into the distance: "But in the past, I always won."

"Uncle Wu, get ready, I'll be setting off tonight."

"it is good."

"..."

After a brief meeting with Sun Li and Chen Yunxi, Chen Sanshi hurriedly bid them farewell and then headed straight to the military camp to gather the newly replenished soldiers of the Hongze Camp. They set off from Liangzhou overnight.

When they arrived at the city gate.

Another rider caught up, carrying a long spear and a bow and arrows on his back.

"Not a vessel?"

Chen Sanshi was somewhat surprised: "What's this?"

"Supervisor!"

Sun Buqi clasped his hands and said, "I have opened my meridians, please allow me to enter the camp!"

"Not a vessel."

Chen Sanshi looked at him and said in a deep voice, "The Hongze Camp is already full. There is no position for you as a Tongmai Lieutenant General. Go back and stay with your sister and Chen Yunxi."

"Commander, I don't want an official position."

Sun Buqi insisted, "Even if I'm just a regular pawn, I'll go with you."

"..."

Chen Sanshi knew.

Since his master passed away, Sun Buqi has rarely shown his face and has basically cut off contact with his former cronies. He spends his days practicing martial arts in the courtyard, except for eating.

His physique wasn't exceptional, just above average, but he had excellent comprehension. In just over half a year, he broke through from the Transformation Realm to the Meridian Opening Realm.

However, this journey is fraught with danger, and the Sun family is the only remaining heir.

That's it.

A person's fate is determined by themselves.

Thinking of this, Chen Sanshi did not refuse: "Join the ranks. You will be assigned to the central army and temporarily responsible for patrolling the camp. We will make further arrangements after we arrive in Jiaozhou."

"Yes!"

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Sun Buqi rode his horse and merged into the group.

Hongze Camp continued its advance.

"What kind of bird-eating god of war is this?"

Wang Zhi cursed and said, "If we had transferred you to our side before the defeat at Yiling, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

"Senior brother noticed it too."

Chen Sanshi mentally replayed the marching routes of both sides after the start of the war: "After Yiling, the battle line has retreated too far, and it's not easy to fight back."

“Junior brother, you are underestimating me. Before I met you in Poyang County, I was the commander of the Xuanwu Camp. I participated in many battles, big and small. How could I not even see the situation clearly?”

Wang Zhi said with a worried expression, "That Han Xiang seems to be quite capable, and with so many 'immortal masters' in Xiqi, I'm afraid we're in for some trouble."

"Senior brother, how is your cultivation level?"

Chen Sanshi asked.

"Perfect."

Sitting on the back of the black wind horse, Wang Zhi took out a wine flask from his pocket and took a small sip: "In another two years, I'll have a chance to break through to the Martial Saint realm."

"About five months."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "I'll speed things up for you."

Hongze Camp set off from Liangzhou to Jiaozhou, which required them to travel south from Mingzhou, then east, and then across the two prefectures by water, taking a full three months.

en route.

Chen Sanshi would often stop to practice martial arts or refine elixirs.

He had prepared extra materials for both the Nourishing Essence Pill and the True Martial Pill, intending them for his subordinates.

The Martial Saint realm has extremely high requirements for physical constitution. Even with the True Martial Pill, there is only a one percent chance that someone with insufficient physical constitution can break through to the Martial Saint realm. However, the Profound Manifestation realm does not have such a high threshold. As long as there are enough Nourishing Meridian Pills, one can completely accumulate Meridian Opening to the Profound Manifestation realm.

They marched all the way.

Chen Sanshi refined pills four times in total, failing once, and produced three superior-grade True Martial Pills. He immediately gave one of them to Wang Zhi, as they would inevitably have to face cultivators next. If they could have one more Martial Saint, they would have a better chance of winning.

"Hey, you've got so many treasures."

Holding the pills, Wang Zhi felt a mix of emotions.

Who would have thought.

He was heartbroken and went to a remote county like a dead dog, but by a twist of fate, he met the greatest benefactor of his life.

"Supervisor!"

Xia Cong led a group of men back hastily: "We are now in Jiaozhou. I have already notified the Du Biao Army to come and meet us."

"How is the situation?" Chen Sanshi asked, focusing on the key point.

"The situation is serious."

Xia Cong pointed to the west: "Two hundred li away is the Luo River on the border of Jiaozhou. On the other side of the Luo River is Yunduan Prefecture. At present, the Western Qi army is besieging Yunduan Prefecture. General Teng Le and others are leading 50,000 troops and are struggling to hold on."

"Let's go to the military camp first."

Chen Sanshi did not rush to make arrangements.

"Yes!"

……

The military camp of the Western Qi Kingdom.

The Chinese military tent.

On the desk.

Han Xiang held a calligraphy brush in her hand, outlining intricate patterns on the orange-yellow paper.

This brush is made from the hair of a spirit beast, and even the handle is made of refined spirit wood. The paper is made from rare materials mixed with animal hides. When used together, it can draw the legendary talismans.
