Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"shut up!"

Just as Guo Fu was about to continue her outburst, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, followed by Huang Rong carrying a tray and walking slowly into the pavilion.

"You two, didn't your master teach you how to speak?!"

"If you keep talking so recklessly, I'll punish you severely on behalf of your master!"

Huang Rong glanced at the two of them with displeasure and reprimanded them in a stern voice.

The Wu brothers quickly bowed and dared not say another word.

Seeing the Wu brothers being scolded, Guo Fu smiled smugly and gave them a disdainful look.

"Brother Yin, I know you should be waking up soon. I asked the kitchen to make some food. You haven't eaten all day, so have something to eat first."

Immediately afterward, Huang Rong placed the tray on the table and put a bowl of soup in front of Duan Zhengchun, her face full of smiles.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Duan Zhengchun clasped his hands in a fist salute, smiled, and said something, but couldn't help taking a second look.

Huang Rong didn't say anything more. She gave her daughter and the Wu brothers a wink, then slowly left the pavilion, leaving Duan Zhengchun alone.

After watching Huang Rong's figure disappear into the distance, Duan Zhengchun swallowed hard and lowered his head to eat.

The heroes of the martial arts world who went to various border areas to organize the migration of people have not yet returned. Guo Jing also contacted the garrison in Huai'an and then rushed to meet up with the others.

At this moment, besides the four people who had just left, only Duan Zhengchun remained in Willow Garden.

As night fell again, Duan Zhengchun left Liuyuan alone and returned to the restaurant from the previous night. He ordered the same food and wine as the night before, sat in the same spot, and once again began to enjoy his wine alone.

He knew that days like these for Huai'an Prefecture were numbered, and a major battle was coming soon. As for whether Huai'an Prefecture could be saved in the end, he really couldn't be sure.

...

Three days later.

As expected, the Mongol army returned with renewed force, launching another fierce attack on Huai'an County, this time with five times the strength of the previous attack! The number of troops exceeded 20,000!

Outside the city gates, the defenders of Huai'an fought back fiercely. Although outnumbered, not one of them retreated and fought a bloody battle against the invading Mongol army.

Guo Jing has also led a group of martial arts heroes to join the battle and help the Huai'an defenders put up a tenacious resistance!

With the help of these martial arts figures, it did indeed have a remarkable effect. After all, they were highly skilled and had torn several gaps in the enemy's formation, disrupting their plans and giving a glimmer of hope to what was originally a doomed battle.

Duan Zhengchun stood atop the city wall, looking down at the bloody battle unfolding before him, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was the first time he had witnessed two armies facing off, and he couldn't help but be somewhat moved.

A war between two countries is destined to be a chaotic affair with rivers of blood.

However, Duan Zhengchun soon discovered that the Mongol army did not seem to intend to occupy Huai'an County this time, but only to weaken the Huai'an garrison once again.

They only killed people; they didn't actually attack the city!

Guo Fu and the Wu brothers also stood aside. Due to the chaos of the battle, Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not let Guo Fu participate, and left the Wu brothers, whose martial arts skills were also mediocre, to protect Guo Fu.

Compared to Duan Zhengchun, the expressions on the faces of the three of them were noticeably more solemn, their brows furrowed with worry, and all of them exuded a hint of tension.

Faced with a battlefield where human life is as worthless as grass, they could not possibly remain as calm as Duan Zhengchun.

"mother?!"

"My mother is in danger!"

Just then, Guo Fu, who was already looking tense, suddenly shouted, pointing to the chaotic battlefield, and excitedly yelled, as if she was about to jump off the city wall.

The Wu brothers looked panicked and quickly grabbed Guo Fu, looking in the direction she was pointing. Their expressions changed drastically afterward.

On the battlefield, Huang Rong was surrounded by dozens of Mongol cavalrymen, and she was in danger of being attacked many times!

"Let me go, I need to help my mother!"

Guo Fu struggled incessantly and shouted loudly.

"Fu-mei, you can't go down! It's too dangerous!"

"Your teacher's wife instructed us to protect you; you mustn't take any risks! Don't worry, your teacher's wife will definitely handle it!"

The Wu brothers held Guo Fu tightly, loudly trying to persuade her.

Unable to break free, Guo Fu anxiously turned to Duan Zhengchun, choking back tears, and said, "Uncle Yin, please..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun, who had already witnessed everything, suddenly leaped off the wall and rushed towards Huang Rong like lightning!

Huang Rong, who was being besieged, was wielding the Dog-Beating Stick and fighting fiercely with the enemy. However, the enemy did not care about the rules of the martial arts world and would stop at nothing to kill Huang Rong!

At this moment, Huang Rong's left arm had been severely injured, and she was only able to support herself with one hand!

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen long-haired men were thrown at Huang Rong from all directions at almost the same time!

Huang Rong gripped the Dog-Beating Stick tightly in one hand, her peripheral vision already sensing her desperate situation. With a furrowed brow, she quickly launched attacks to block, but she simply couldn't deflect all the attacks at the same time!

At this critical moment, a blue figure suddenly appeared in mid-air!

With a piercing sword cry, the remaining few long hairs were instantly cut in two!

At the same time, more than ten Mongol cavalrymen surrounding Huang Rong screamed and flew backward, their chest armor shattering almost simultaneously, blood splattering everywhere!

Seeing this, Huang Rong turned her head and looked away, only to find Duan Zhengchun standing coldly beside her.

Although he hadn't witnessed the full power of that sword strike, he couldn't help but be awestruck!

She had never seen such fierce sword energy in all her years of wandering the martial world!

How many people in this world can kill with just sword energy?!

Looking at Duan Zhengchun now, she couldn't help but change her opinion again.

"This is a life-or-death battle. Even if you're wielding the Beggars' Sect's prized Dog-Beating Stick, no one will be afraid of you!"

"To win this battle, we must be more ruthless than the enemy and kill more people!"

Duan Zhengchun coldly looked at the battlefield before him and said in an icy voice.

Huang Rong stared blankly at Duan Zhengchun, unsure how to respond.

She is not a person who likes to kill, so although she is highly skilled in martial arts and has been wandering the martial arts world for more than ten years, she has never killed a single person.

Even in the battle with the enemy just now, they only managed to severely injure them.

Before Huang Rong could answer, the Mongol cavalry launched another counterattack, this time with more men and even more hysteria!

Duan Zhengchun did not linger in the fight. Instead, he instantly sheathed his sword, picked up Huang Rong around the waist, swiftly used the Spiral Nine Shadows technique, and turned to retreat towards the city gate.

Upon seeing Duan Zhengchun's lightness skill, Huang Rong's expression changed instantly. She recognized it at a glance as the supreme lightness skill from the Nine Yin Manual!

She had seen this kind of lightness skill in the manual when she was practicing the Nine Yin Manual with her brother Jing!

In the blink of an eye, Duan Zhengchun had returned to the city wall with Huang Rong in his arms, completely unharmed.

"Brother Yin, you can put me down now..."

Only then did Huang Rong come to her senses and realize that she was still in Duan Zhengchun's arms. Her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly urged him to say something.

Duan Zhengchun gently placed Huang Rong on the ground, smelled the lingering fragrance of Huang Rong on his body, coughed awkwardly, and turned back to look at the battlefield outside the city.

"It seems the Mongol army is determined to capture Huai'an County this time! Fortunately, the border residents were evacuated in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Huang Rong also turned around and looked at the fiercely fighting battlefield, frowning as she said something.

"Wrong, they came to kill in protest, not to attack the city!"

Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong was visibly taken aback. She then began to carefully observe the battle situation and quickly noticed something amiss. Her expression became even more serious.

"Sister-in-law, stay here. Don't put yourself in danger! Tell Brother Guo that after the Mongol army withdraws, defend Huai'an County to the death! If the Mongol army does not attack again within seven days, then it will prove that the crisis in Huai'an has been resolved!"

Duan Zhengchun took a deep breath and said it with absolute certainty.

"What do you mean by that...?"

Before Huang Rong could finish speaking, Duan Zhengchun suddenly pointed two fingers into the entrance and blew a whistle, then rushed towards the city wall again!

Immediately afterwards, a white horse neighed and rushed out of the city gate. Duan Zhengchun landed steadily on the horse's back and dashed into the battlefield like lightning!

As the Lingxiao Sword was drawn again, Mongol cavalrymen fell to their deaths and screams filled the air wherever it passed!
