low-key is king

Chapter 143
To the west of Watanabe Castle, more than ten miles away!
In the past, this place was just a plain, but now it is full of company discussions, with banners flying everywhere, and there is no end in sight.

Among them, on the most majestic big tent, there is a big flag erected, and the two big characters "Zhengdong" on the flag flutter in the wind, which is unique and mighty.

On the proclamation issued by the royal family of the capital, it described in detail how the East Prince's Mansion in Watanabe Town colluded with the Hai Clan and how to capture Watanabe Castle in an attempt to rebel. The evidence has now spread throughout the entire Xuanyang Kingdom.

Among them is the strangeness of Watanabe Castle repelling the terrifying Sea Clan, and the testimony of Yang Xun, the former city lord of Watanabe Castle, all of which are not good for the Zhendong Palace, and the capital is naturally on the side of justice.

All over Xuanyang Kingdom, there are voices of abuse against the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, and those ordinary people who don't know the truth are almost all echoing what others say.

The great crime of colluding with the Hai Clan, of course, everyone can punish it.

Therefore, almost all of them overwhelmingly supported the matter of the capital's order to encircle and suppress the East Prince's Mansion in Watanabe Town.

The army led by General Yan Qingxi divided into three groups, marching towards Watanabe Castle from the south, west and north.

Located on this plain was Yan Qingxi's Central Army, a total of 4 troops, and 3 soldiers from each of the North and South Routes, making a total of [-] troops.

Speaking of it, it was just to wipe out a small county with less than [-] troops, but the Yan clan actually dispatched [-] troops. They really think highly of Watanabe Castle, or the King of Zhendong.

After all, the former King of Zhendong was the God of Hundred Wars, a prince who was truly killed from a sea of ​​corpses and blood, far from being comparable to those hereditary princes who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in the capital.

"Haha, if the two of you can arrive before my army attacks the city, this battle will be safe!"

Inside the large tent of the Chinese army, Yan Qingxi, General Zhengdong who was sitting at the head, raised the wine glass in his hand, laughed and toasted to the two haughty-looking figures on the left and right.

Hearing his tone, he didn't have the aloofness of a superior.

In addition to these few, there are many middle-level generals in the big tent. It is worth mentioning that Yang Xun and Master Huaguang who fled from Watanabe Castle are impressively listed.

One of these two is a monk of the four realms, and the other is a martial artist who has broken through to the perfection of the four realms. They are no longer considered weak in this Chinese army.

Yan Qingxi was at the time of employing people, so he didn't care about the character of these two.

But whether it was Yang Xun, Master Huaguang, or the generals in the original army, when they looked at the two figures, they were full of awe.

Because they knew that both of them were strong men who had reached the level of the five realms.

Among them, the one on the left looks about 50 years old. His arms are bare, exposing the knotted tendons on his body. At first glance, he looks like a tyrannical martial artist with good physical strength.

This person's name is Jin Wanzhou, a martial artist who has reached the realm of five realms, and is one of the top worshipers of the Yan clan.

Because of his skills, his physical strength is stronger than that of a martial artist of the same realm.

As for the pale middle-aged man on the other side, his name is Luo Bailu. This name sounds a bit feminine, but he is a real man, and he is even a cultivator of the Five Realms.

It has to be said that the Yan family has probably been preparing for decades to usurp the Lu family's imperial power. It is time for the priests who have been recruited at a great price to appear in the public's field of vision.

"Hey, I've heard that Lu Mingyang is a five-realm perfect martial artist, this time let me, Lao Jin, meet him for a while!"

Jin Wanzhou gnawed at the leg of lamb in his hand while grinning grimly. Although he was only a martial artist who had completed five realms, he had no fear of Lu Mingyang who had completed five realms.

Firstly, Jin Wanzhou's cultivation technique is extremely special, it can turn his whole body into metal at certain times, and his defense power is so amazing that martial artists from the same realm can't break his defense at all.

Furthermore, although Jin Wanzhou is not from the Xuanyang Kingdom, he knows very well about the incident in Zhendong Palace a year ago, and he knows that Lu Mingyang was so angry that he fell into a coma for a whole year, and he didn't wake up until recently.

For a martial artist, being in a coma for a whole year will affect his combat power?
From Jin Wanzhou's point of view, it would probably take at least half a year to a year for Lu Mingyang to return to his peak.

"Grandmaster Jin can't be careless. According to City Master Yang, during the battle in Watanabe City, Lu Mingyang used one against two, fighting against the two great Five Realm Sea Clans without defeat!"

As the commander of Zhengdong, Yan Qingxi seemed a little more cautious. When he said this, he even glanced at Yang Xun who was standing next to him, causing him to nod in panic.

"General Yan is worrying too much. As far as I know, the Sea Clan that fought with Lu Mingyang that day was only in the Fifth Realm, and there was one that just entered the Fifth Realm. I can blow one of these Sea Clans with a single punch." !"

Jin Wanzhou was really domineering, but after he said this, he obviously saw Luo Bailu, a five-level monk on the other side, pouted, which made him laugh in his heart.

To be honest, this time the two of them were sent by Queen Yan Chaolu to deal with King Zhendong, they were not really of one mind, they both had the heart to fight for the great achievement of killing Lu Mingyang.

Moreover, Jin Wanzhou could clearly feel that Yan Qingxi's attitude towards Luo Bailu was more respectful than that towards himself, perhaps this was the special charm of Qi refining monks.

But obviously in the same realm, the martial artist is the strongest, Jin Wanzhou is absolutely sure, if he let himself get close, at most a few punches can kill Luo Bailu, the white-faced tuberculosis ghost.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think?"

Especially when Jin Wanzhou heard the address from Yan Qingxi's mouth, he took a bite of the big sheep bone in his hand, as if the delicious sheep bone was not as fragrant as before.

"As long as Hidden Kill will not intervene, Lu Mingyang will have nothing to worry about!"

Luo Bailu didn't seem to be good at words, but since the general of the Chinese army asked, he still had to answer after all, and Yan Qingxi was quite satisfied with this answer.

"Don't worry, you two, my aunt has already sent a message, saying that this time is an internal struggle in the Xuanyang Kingdom. Without the common enemy of the Hai Clan, the three major forces will definitely not intervene!"

It seems that this is Yan Qingxi's greatest confidence. Otherwise, based on the information he has obtained on Watanabe City, if the judge and Yinhu make another move, maybe things will really change.

"There is a saying in the art of war, ten times to encircle them, pass on the order, and after three days, start attacking the city!"

Yan Qingxi stood up, all the generals followed suit, and then General Zhengdong yelled coldly, causing all the generals to bow down to accept orders and make arrangements for themselves.

Yang Xun and Hua Guangda looked at each other, and they both saw the ambition of revenge in each other's eyes. It seemed that they had not let go of the matter of abandoning Watanabe Castle and fleeing at that time.

They couldn't blame those nasty Hai people, so they naturally passed on all the resentment to the Zhendong Palace.

Even Yang Xun had some doubts in his heart, could this be a trick set up by the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, or why would the situation in Watanabe City turn around once he ran away?
Thinking of these things in his heart, Yang Xun stopped and watched Master Huaguang go away, but he gritted his teeth, turned around and entered the Chinese army tent again.

"What's the matter? City Lord Yang, is there anything else?"

A look of displeasure flashed across Yan Qingxi's eyes in the tent, but he didn't attack at this moment, but spoke in a cold voice, so that even if Yang Xundang knew that he was being a little reckless, he should have said it first.

"General, my subordinates have a plan. Maybe they can break through the gate of Watanabe Castle without a single soldier!"

At this time, Yang Xun didn't care about the mocking meaning of the word "city lord" in the other party's mouth, but Yan Qingxi couldn't help being a little interested when he heard this statement in his mouth.

"What's the plan?"

"The inside should be combined with the outside!"

…………

The night is gradually falling!

There were many figures on the wall of the west gate of Watanabe Castle, and the soldiers of the city lord's mansion who had been recruited by the Iron Blood of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion all had a look of unconcealable worry on their faces.

After all, the imperial family's three-way army besieged the city. How could Watanabe Castle's less than [-] troops be able to stop it?
Fortunately, people in other cities don't know the position of Zhendong Prince's Mansion, but everyone in Watanabe City knows it, and the military spirit is still available.

You must know that when the Hai Clan attacked, the city lord Yang Xun and his son saw that they were invincible, so they abandoned hundreds of thousands of people in the city and fled directly, making them extremely desperate.

However, in the end, Watanabe Castle, under the leadership of Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, and relying on the judge and Yinhu, who came from the sky, managed to defend Watanabe Castle, and drove those nasty sea people back to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation. .

Or maybe the news of Watanabe Castle was closed during this period, and these soldiers didn't know the rumors circulating in other cities.

Therefore, they all chose to support King Zhendong who saved their lives, and they also believed that there would be a day when things would be clarified.

Especially when they heard that there was the former city lord Yang Xun who had abandoned the city and fled in the big camp in Zhengxi, they were all filled with righteous indignation and wished to smash his body into thousands of pieces.

It's just that as time went by, the anger in my heart gradually turned into worry.

After all, the opponent claims to have an army of [-], and Watanabe Castle is just a small county town, so how can it be defended?
However, these are not important now. This battle is inevitable. Under the iron and blood rule of the Zhendong Palace, it is impossible for them to defect, and they can only put all their eggs in one basket.

Somewhere on the west gate wall, two figures came together at some point.

If someone came closer and took a closer look, they would recognize that this was the famous Patriarch of Zhou and Liu in Watanabe Castle.

Speaking of which, Zhou Tiehe and Liu Boyu are both related to the same disease, and they both lost their sons. The only difference is that Zhou Haigui is Zhou Tiehe's only son, but Liu Boyu has two children who cannot support him.

"Brother Zhou, you invited me over late at night, what's the matter?"
