low-key is king

Chapter 153 It's not up to you, the Yan family!

"Retired? Why did they retreat?"

Hearing the loud voice of the messenger soldier suddenly, Lu Mingyang was overjoyed at first, and then frowned. He obviously thought that the other party might have some conspiracy.

Otherwise, the enemy army at the south gate had always had the upper hand, how could they retreat when they were about to break the city?
If there was no conspiracy in the middle, Lu Mingyang, who has experienced hundreds of battles, would not believe it anyway. He subconsciously felt that the enemy might be planning a bigger and more insidious plan.

"Is it because the west gate is not broken?"

Suddenly, Lu Mingyang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had grasped a possibility, and this might be the real opportunity for Watanabe Castle.

Based on the situation Lu Mingyang obtained, this time the commander of the three armies of the enemy army is Yan Qingxi, a young and strong generation of the Yan family, and the two northern and southern armies are led by two veterans.

From Lu Mingyang's point of view, both Xia Qing and Nie Yuanbai must be dissatisfied with Yan Qingxi, and Yan Qingxi is eager to show off his prestige, the contradiction between them is inevitable.

Now that the enemy troops at the south gate are retreating strangely, from Lu Mingyang's point of view, it is because Yan Qingxi doesn't want to see Xia Qing break through the city gate first, which will make his central army lose face.

In an instant, Lu Mingyang imagined a big scene on his own, at least he would never think that the enemy army at the south gate retreated because they couldn't attack the south gate.

"My lord, I heard... I heard that General Long Xiang was killed, even the Long Xiang flag fell!"

The messenger soldier seemed a little uncertain. When he was also at the south gate, he heard some gossip from among the retreating enemy troops, but he didn't hear it very clearly.

"What did you say?"

This time not only Lu Mingyang was stunned, but the guards next to him were also shocked. They never thought that the reason for the enemy's retreat would be this, it was simply too sudden.

"Report!"

Just when everyone was stunned, a loud voice came from the north again, which made them all tremble, thinking of a possibility, and a touch of expectation spontaneously arose.

"My lord, the flame army Nie Yuanbai was killed, the flame flag fell, and the enemy army at the north gate retreated!"

The messenger soldier who rushed from the north gate was more calm than the one from the south gate. He was even sure what happened outside the north gate.

"Nie Yuanbai was also killed?"

This time Zhendong King Lu Mingyang was really frightened. Although the two enemy generals were not as famous as him, they were also genuine five-level martial masters, and they were well-known in the entire Xuanyang Kingdom.

But now, the two generals were beheaded and killed in front of the formation. Although the situation at the south gate is still unclear, Lu Mingyang can be sure that the enemy's retreat is probably because the main general was killed.

"Hey, let me just say, the young master..."

Asha on the side was also stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, but he kept silent after speaking, but Lu Mingyang already knew what he wanted to express.

"By the way, I remembered. When the enemy troops retreated in a panic at the south gate, I seem to have heard them mention 'judge'!"

At this time, the messenger soldier at the south gate finally remembered something, and his tone was a little excited. After all, he had also fought bloody battles with the Sea Clan on the city wall of the east gate.

At that time, the judge turned out to save everyone in Watanabe Castle from the fire and water, that is the great hero of Watanabe Castle.

It's just that the warrior guards in Watanabe City, like Yan Qingxi and others outside the city, think that the nature of the civil war in Xuanyang Kingdom is very different from that of the Hai Clan's attack back then, and the killers of the Hidden Killing Society should not intervene casually .

But now it seems that the killer judge did not give up on Watanabe Castle after all, and directly shot at this critical moment, beheading the enemy's Long Xiang General Xia Qing in front of the formation.

"Judge!"

Hearing the words of the messenger soldier suddenly, Lu Mingyang took a deep breath, and then exchanged a glance with Asha, and they both saw the meaning in the other's eyes.

Especially in Asha's eyes, there was a look of "I knew it a long time ago".

He has never been disappointed with that young master's methods, which is in line with the temperament of Second Young Master Lu.

"The one who assassinated Lie Yan General Nie Yuanbai outside the north gate should be the killer Silver Fox!"

The North Gate Messenger had a clear mind, and at this moment, he said something appropriately, which greatly boosted Lu Mingyang's confidence, and his aura was also extremely strong at this moment.

"Send the order, open the north and south gates, take advantage of the enemy's morale plummeting, turn from defense to attack, we must win this battle!"

Lu Mingyang is the king of a hundred battles, so he naturally knows that although morale is illusory, it is real and usable. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Watanabe Castle.

The generals of the northern and southern armies outside the city were killed, and there was no defense for a while, so there must be a mess. Lu Mingyang would never give the other party this chance to regroup.

"My lord, Ximen is about to lose his hold!"

Just as King Zhendong gave the order, and when the two messenger soldiers took the order and left, a loud roar came from Chen Xian, the commander of the palace.

At this time, the royal family's private soldiers had already joined the battle. Chen Xian and Gu Qi, the two three-level warriors, took the lead and killed blood all over their bodies, but they still couldn't stop the siege army who accepted the death order.

After a long battle, they must be tired. At this moment, all the guards in Watanabe City have almost exhausted their strength. This is the strength and weakness of a number.

The siege soldiers outside the city have a steady stream of replenishment, and Watanabe Castle has limited troops, so they can only defend and fight all the time. Under the ebb and flow, it is reasonable for the west gate to be broken.

Moreover, Ximen does not have the morale of the north and south gates. Even from a distance, one can see Yan Qingxi, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, who is the most solid backing of the Ximen enemy army.

"Lu Mingyang!"

Seeing that many soldiers had already killed Ximen, Yan Qingxi, the commander of the three armies outside the city, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

The aura of the perfect martial artist in the four realms made this voice spread throughout the formation of the two armies above and below the city.

Lu Mingyang looked coldly, and saw that among the countless enemy troops below, a passage had parted at some point. Dozens of figures surrounded the commander of the three armies, Yan Qingxi, and slowly approached the west gate of Watanabe Castle.

"Jin Wanzhou, Luo Bailu, these two old fellows actually came here in person!"

Lu Mingyang's eyes were not on Yan Qingxi, after all, to him, the latter was just a rising star, and he cared more about those two five-level powerhouses.

As Zhendong King of Xuanyang Kingdom, how could Lu Mingyang not know the two major five-level priests of the Yan clan, he just didn't expect that Yan Rongdao would send these two over to supervise the battle this time.

But after thinking about it, Lu Mingyang understood the other party's thoughts again. After all, he is a five-level perfect fifth master. Although he may not have returned to the peak of his strength, the other party has to guard against it.

This is to ensure that Yan Qingxi, the commander of the four realms, is safe.

With two powerful men of the five realms protecting each other, and being in the army, presumably even if Lu Mingyang took action himself, Yan Qingxi would not be hurt at all, right?
"Lu Mingyang, until now, you still have to resist. Do you want hundreds of thousands of people in Watanabe City to be buried with you?"

Even though Yan Qingxi was standing under the city gate, she had a condescending aura, and her words were very level, it seemed that she was really standing on the commanding heights of righteousness.

"It's nonsense, it's clearly my Zhendong Prince's Mansion fighting against the Hai Clan to save hundreds of thousands of people in Watanabe City, but you, the Yan family, confuse black and white and forcibly slander, is it true that people in the world are blind?"

As the commander of the palace, Chen Xian was so angry that he gasped heavily, and couldn't help shouting loudly, which made all the soldiers and civilians in Watanabe City nod repeatedly, because this was the truth.

"Where did things come out, and they are also qualified to talk to me?"

Yan Qingxi glanced at Chen Xian lightly, he had heard of this name before, how could Chen Xian, who was only a second-level martial artist before, be looked down upon by him?
"The truth of the world, of course, is what everyone in the world can say. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. It's not your Yan family who has the final say!"

Lu Mingyang said coldly, the level of his words was much higher than that of Chen Xian, and at the same time, he insinuated the ambition of the Yan clan, which made Yan Qingxi's expression darken instantly.

"Lu Mingyang, you have colluded with the Hai Clan in Zhendong Prince's House, committing a heinous crime. Today, I, the Yan Clan, represent the Xuanyang Royal Family to clean up the house and destroy you, a traitor!"

Even if Yan's ambitions were clearly revealed, in front of the three armies, Yan Qingxi still retained a sliver of rationality after all, saying that he represented the Xuanyang royal family, but it only drew a sneer from Lu Mingyang.

"Hmph, my Xuanyang royal family, when did we need a person with a foreign surname to represent it?"

Lu Mingyang snorted coldly, and then said loudly: "My Xuanyang Lu clan has been passed down for hundreds of years, and your Yan clan wants to seek to usurp the throne, so you have to ask me, Lu Mingyang, if you agree with me!"

The latter words of the Zhendong King put the Yan clan's ambitions on the bright side. He wanted to play down the matter of colluding with the Hai clan. After all, the Lu clan is the orthodox of Xuanyang Kingdom.

In fact, both Yan Rongdao, the patriarch of the Yan family, and Yan Chaolu, the empress, both understood this truth, so they had to use a high-sounding excuse when they attacked King Zhendong.

The accusation of colluding with the Hai Clan is undoubtedly a testless one. Coupled with the "witness" of Yang Xun and the fact that the Hai Clan was repelled by the bizarre, many ordinary people who don't know the truth are convinced.

But at this moment, when Lu Mingyang publicly challenged the Yan clan's ambitions, the nature changed a little, and many people would become skeptical.

The change of dynasties and the alternation of power are often accompanied by countless bloody storms and intrigues.

Is it really because of the Yan clan's ambition that the Yan clan took action against Zhendong Palace this time?
This has to make people think a little more, after all, the Sea Clan in Samsara Sea is the greatest enemy of the human race in the world, so why does King Zhendong have any reason to collude with the Sea Clan?
