After becoming the villain

Chapter 283 "Night Attack on the Enemy Camp" and "The Hidden Past of [Tingyun Pavilion]"

late at night.

Xiao Tianzuo now led his army deep into the land of Baiyue.

Prior to this, he had led his army to regain many states and counties that Daqian had lost in the early stages of the war.

The Crown Prince Zhao Lingrui has also been adhering to the will of the former Crown Prince Zhao Lingfeng and doing his best to support Xiao Tianzuo and ensure the supply of food, grass and weapons for the army.

Zhao Lingrui even sold his former extremely gorgeous Prince Yu's Mansion to the wealthy businessman Wan Sanqian in exchange for money and food support.

When Zhao Lingrui was King Yu, his favorite thing was to enjoy a luxurious life.

It was extremely rare for Zhao Lingrui in the past to destroy a family to provide relief like this.

It can only be said that people are constantly changing. The "venomous snake" Zhao Lingrui back then is now also affected by the seventh brother Zhao Lingfeng.

Xiao Tianzuo and his wife Mu Ying lived up to expectations and passed the test all the way.

Although they encountered fierce resistance from the coalition forces of the vassal kings, and the new Dingnan King Geng Hongcheng even personally went into battle several times, these could not stop the overwhelming force of the army commanded by Xiao Tianzuo himself.

At this moment, Xiao Tianzuo was paying attention to the Baiyue map in front of Shuai's case, thinking about how to lay siege to Jiaozhi, the capital of King Dingnan, and completely wipe out King Dingnan.

suddenly,

The candlelight in the handsome tent flickered, and the internal energy fluctuated continuously.

Xiao Tianzuo immediately noticed something was wrong, slapped the table with his palm, and instantly appeared next to the sword stand, unsheathing his sword.

Where the sword pointed, a figure appeared vaguely.

Xiao Tianzuo saw that he was young, dressed in an extremely luxurious black python suit with gold patterns, and a nine-pin gold crown. His internal strength was extremely deep, and his oppressive aura seemed to be real.

Thinking about it, he should be the person in the rumors.

"Are you...the King of Zhenbei?" Xiao Tianzuo asked cautiously.

"General Xiao."

The visitor admitted his identity in disguise.

When Xiao Tianzuo heard this, he thought that the King of Zhenbei was also a supporter of the imperial court, so he was on the same page as him.

He was slightly relieved, but the long sword in his hand was still not put back into the scabbard.

Xiao Tianzuo turned to greetings and said——

"It is rumored that the current King of Zhenbei is already the best warrior in the world, even more powerful than Yan Dong back then. When I see him today, what he said is true."

"Most of them are just following what others say."

"Xiao also met Yan Dong. Although I don't know how strong he was later, Yan Dong during the melee between the countries was not as strong as you."

Xiao Tianzuo recalled.

He turned around and asked curiously——

"Why did King Zhenbei suddenly come to Xiao's military camp? Moreover, he came alone and in private like this."

"Today's world is about to be restored after great chaos."

"...For this reason, I came here to borrow something from General Xiao."

"Oh?"

Xiao Tianzuo was a little confused and wary, and the sword blade in his hand turned slightly, "...what is it?"

"General Xiao's head."

As soon as the words fell, all the candles in the handsome tent were instantly extinguished.

I saw blue and gold dragons flashing in the camp, and between a few passes, there was the sound of long swords falling and human bodies falling to the ground.

Subsequently,

King Zhenbei slowly walked out of the handsome tent, still holding Xiao Tianzuo's head in his hand.

This general, who was able to defeat two top war kings on his own, was defeated by King Zhenbei within a few rounds.

The evening breeze blew around.

The king of Zhenbei gathered his blue and golden inner strength, and with a flick of his hand, the commander's tent lit up with blazing fire, and the light of the fire sent a signal to the feudal king's ambush outside the camp.

the same moment.

Rockets filled the sky, and spies set fire to the camp. The two combined to ignite most of the military camp in an instant.

The horn of enemy attack sounded.

At this moment, the vassal coalition launched a night attack.

King Zhenbei guessed that it was almost time, so he randomly placed Xiao Tianzuo's head in a conspicuous position in the military camp, and then disappeared into a blue waterspout.

……

The new king of Dingnan, Geng Hongcheng, personally led an army to attack the Daqian military camp tonight.

At the same time, the new Pingxi King Wu Wenwen led the Pingxi Army and the Tibetan reinforcements. They also arrived on this starry night and immediately joined the battlefield.

Under the firelight, in the melee.

Xiao Tianzuo's head was found, and the morale of the army was turbulent.

Mu Ying tried her best to persist, and then met Pingxi King Wu Wenwen, and the two broke out in a big fight.

Dingnan King Geng Hongcheng followed the warrior's internal energy fluctuations and immediately joined the battlefield.

All three are eager for revenge.

Others cannot even join in this extremely fierce life and death battle.

This battle lasted from late night to early morning, and the three of them recreated the scene where Xiao Tianzuo fought against two kings.

only……

In this battle, Mu Ying failed to defeat the two vassal kings like her husband Xiao Tianzuo.

Mu Ying died in battle.

Daqian's Southern Army was completely defeated and scattered.

The allied forces of the vassal kings did not stay long, and immediately marched northward, defeating thirteen prefectures and counties and 52 cities along the way. Chuzhou fell, and their troops were directed towards Jinling.

……

Qianyuan 38 years.

Early November.

Jinling.

Zhao Lingrui, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, was extremely anxious at the moment.

It had only been a few months since the great victory in Chuzhou, and I thought everything was going well.

Unexpectedly, General Xiao Tianzuo and his wife were both killed suddenly in battle, and the entire Daqian Southern Army collapsed completely.

The situation on the southern battlefield suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Now, in Da Gan's hands, there are almost no direct troops that can be dispatched.

In desperation, Prince Zhao Lingrui mobilized garrison troops from all over the country to resist. At the same time, he issued an edict to King Bei of Zhenbei for help and went south to King Qin.

……

Northland.

Inside the Yanbei Palace.

An edict for help came from the prison prince Zhao Lingrui.

Regarding the matter of King Qin going south, many palace officials were discussing endlessly.

Princess Zhao Lingrui of Zhenbei was also in a dilemma after learning about this.

On the one hand, she is the princess of Daqian.

Daqian was in critical condition, and Ninth Brother had even personally sent an edict to request reinforcements instead of ordering reinforcements.

It seemed that Daqian was really in a critical moment. She eagerly hoped that King Zhenbei would send troops southward and King Qin would put down the rebellion.

But on the other hand, she is the Princess of Zhenbei.

Most of the Zhenbei Army were sergeants from the north, who were not acclimated to the south. Moreover, the north had just ended its all-out battle with the Jin Kingdom. If they were to rush southward for an expedition at this moment, they would suffer many losses and lose their energy.

She did not want to see her husband's soldiers sink into the sand and die on the battlefield.I don’t even want to see my husband face danger on the battlefield again.

Zhao Lingrui met King Zhenbei alone several times. She was entrusted by Daqian envoys and asked the king to send troops southward to help King Qin quell the rebellion.

But in the end, facing King Zhenbei's concern and inquiries, she just smiled reluctantly and said nothing.

When the King of Zhenbei saw this, he stopped asking too many questions.

Zhao Lingrui left the hall and left the decision-making completely to Yan Wulu.

She believed that the other party would make the most appropriate judgment.

at the same time.

Since the Battle of Dingbeicheng, the Zhenbei army has been in a state of rest.

The King of Zhenbei secretly planned to join the southern structure.

Moreover, during this period, the Zhenbei Palace tried its best to expand its influence and control over the surrounding areas.

Hedong, Hexi, Longxi and other areas north of the Yangtze River have never been so obedient to the orders of King Zhenbei as they are now.

Almost the entire Northern Kingdom of the Central Plains has fallen under the control of King Zhenbei.

After several days of consultation and discussion with his staff and military generals, King Zhenbei decided to accept the edict, swear an oath in the north, and send troops south to fight King Qin's rebellion.

The confidantes of King Zhenbei who were present at the time all heard that King Zhenbei had other intentions in going south.

Longxiang General Li Mieling roughly guessed what his brother-in-law was actually thinking. He immediately applied to be the vanguard general and led his troops to Jinling first.

But it was beyond Li Mieling's expectation.

The King of Zhenbei asked him to lead a partial division alone, which was called the West Route Army.He went to Shu to quell the rebellion of Han Dynasty, and then followed the river to meet with the army at Jinling and headed south.

Li Mieling was a little surprised and puzzled, but he still accepted the king's order and immediately led the army to conquer Shu in the south.

The Kingdom of Han in the Shu region has been fighting endlessly with the main forces remaining in the Shu region since it announced the restoration of the country.

Within the Han Kingdom, only General Liu Hansheng was considered a threat.

But since Liu Hansheng and Cheng Huanian agreed on a life-and-death battle, there has been no news about the two of them, and their lives are uncertain.

Without Liu Hansheng, the Han army was weak and could not even completely occupy Shu.

If it weren't for the imminent threat from the vassal coalition, Daqian would not have allowed it to survive until now.

This time, it happened to be taken away by Li Mieling's Zhenbei Army in one fell swoop.

Ye Changtian led another army, the East Route Army.Go east, pass through the Qinhuai area, and go straight to Jinling.

The King of Zhenbei and many other generals led the main force of the Zhenbei Army and followed behind.

The army set off, marching in three directions, with the power of swallowing up the world, heading south to King Qin.

……

Qianyuan 38 years.

end of november.

The army from Zhenbei divided into three groups and went south to King Qin.

At the same time, Daqian Jinling.

Purple Mountain Peak.

Yan Fei holds a blood bead in his hand and stands in the center of the square of Guoshi Temple, surrounded by a strange Bagua formation.

In front of it is a huge bronze embossed tripod.

These years of wars, famines, and servitude have caused countless blood, which has been gathered in this cauldron by Yan Fei through the blood beads and magic circle.

suddenly,

Astronomical changes.

The rays gather.

The huge bronze cauldron opened wide, and countless colorful streams of light spilled out of it.

Yan Fei grabbed the stream of light with one hand, and finally transformed it into a dazzling blood-red elixir in his palm.

It was also at this time that a female voice came -

"Sister-in-law."

Yan Fei turned his head and happened to see Mr. Zhang who appeared here at some unknown time.

"Senior sister, it is best for you to call me Imperial Master Yan Fei now."

Yan Fei's tone was as gentle and charming as usual.

Mrs. Zhang chuckled upon hearing this.

She was wearing the blue uniform of the Star Palace Chief, and her eyes were filled with the kind of calmness and composure that could see through the world.

It matches Yan Fei's scarlet robe somewhat inexplicably.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and approached Yan Fei.

Yan Fei didn't flinch at all.

The distance between the two suddenly became extremely close and intimate, a distance that would lead to a fight if they didn't kiss.

"I would rather call you Junior Sister than Imperial Master."

"Then I can only follow my senior sister."

Yan Fei didn't pay much attention to Zhang.

She continued to look at the blood beads in her hand and asked casually: "...I heard that Senior Sister has already moved into the Yanbei Palace. I'm afraid she is not far away from 'die in a field.' How come Senior Sister still has time to come and look for me?" "

Mrs. Zhang showed no anger, calmed down slightly, and said directly——

"Junior sister, please leave Jinling with me. This may be the last chance."

"What? Senior sister suddenly became so concerned about me?"

Yan Fei smiled, "...it's not like you, senior sister, to come to me so urgently and impatiently."

"Junior sister, I can guess what you want to do. Zhao Purui can definitely guess it too."

Zhang said, feeling a little helpless, "...The reason why he doesn't care about you now and does whatever you want is because he is confident that he can get what he wants."

"...Junior sister, you are no match for Zhao Purui."

"So, senior sister is very worried about me."

"That's right." Zhang didn't deny it.

"...I once promised Master that I would take good care of you. I can't watch you seek skin from a tiger and seek your own death."

"Senior sister is still so rigid."

Yan Fei was a little disdainful and said sarcastically: "In the past, when you exited [Tingyun Pavilion], I never saw you remembering your promise to Master."

"...Senior sister, I am different from you."

As Yan Fei said, she couldn't help but suddenly stepped forward, approaching Mrs. Zhang.

"...You can give up your master and [Tingyun Pavilion] for other people, but I can give up everything for [Tingyun Pavilion]."

Yan Fei's words did not lie.

She really holds this belief.

Reviving the glory of [Tingyun Pavilion] is her life goal and everything to her.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang also smiled bitterly.

She reached out and grabbed the opponent's shoulders, and said in a loud voice: "Junior sister, junior sister, you are simply wishful thinking. You don't know the truth back then."

"...[Tingyun Pavilion], a shabby place that should have been abandoned long ago, is simply not worth your efforts."

"Oh?" Yan Fei's face turned slightly cold when he heard this.

She cannot tolerate anyone insulting [Tingyun Pavilion], even the fellow senior sister she once respected.

She broke free from the other party's restraints, straightened her scarlet robe, took a few steps back slightly, and said to Mrs. Zhang——

"Senior sister, you are wrong."

"...I know. I know everything about [Tingyun Pavilion], and I know more than you."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the sound, her face was slightly surprised.

But she still whispered back——

"I quit [Tingyun Pavilion] not because I fell in love with another man, but because of you."

Yan Fei smiled secretly.

She said directly——

"Senior sister, I am very grateful for your concession and let me become the pavilion master."

"...However, you are not suitable to be the master of the pavilion in the first place."

Yan Fei said, taking back the blood beads and blood pills in his hand, and then turned around and mounted his horse.

"Forget it, senior sister, see you later."

"...Jinling is not a place where you should stay for a long time."

After Yan Fei finished speaking, he drove his horse down the mountain and rushed to the Jinling Palace.

Mrs. Zhang stood quietly on the spot.

She knew in her heart that Yan Fei had decided to act for the plan in her heart.

Then, the next time we meet, it is very likely that she will be a dead body.

Zhang thought for a while, but her left hand, which had already gathered internal strength, stopped.

She gave up her plan to force the other party to leave Jinling.

It's not because of any concerns or other invincibility.

However, Yan Fei's words are correct.

As a junior sister, everything she did was to revive Tingyun Pavilion.

Sometimes, Mrs. Zhang herself wonders if Yan Fei is under some kind of curse. Why has he exuded such love and loyalty to Tingyun Pavilion since he was a child that is almost obsessed with it?

"Hopefully my predictions are wrong."

Zhang murmured softly.

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang wrapped herself in her blue uniform and quickly disappeared into the temple of the national teacher.
