In the Prince of Guangling’s Palace, the candlelight was dim.

"Did my brother really sleep in the same bed with the Empress of our Great Chu?" Prince Guangling's eyes were sharp. Empress Jiang Si was considered the most beautiful woman in the world. It was said that she inherited 90% of the beauty of the Spring and Autumn Period. Moreover, she was still in her prime and had not yet overwhelmed all the other beauties.

"Your Majesty is not a commodity. She accepted the King of Huainan because of the general trend and because they were in love. Your Highness has no concubines and no children, and he is very obedient to Your Majesty. I have finally put an end to my worries. Your Majesty has no brothers and no father, and his relatives are gradually growing up. This is not something that a person like you who only cares about women can understand. Besides, I, Cao Changqing, and the Great Chu do not need you. In the future, please be careful with your words, Your Majesty, the dragon heir is pregnant."

Cao Changqing secretly sighed that the marriage between His Majesty and the Prince was the work of a scholar named Cui. At that time, he was forced to accept it reluctantly due to the general trend. He did not expect that it would become a happy marriage in the end. There was no concubine, no brother or father. Both parties were pitiful people in a sense. After huddling together for warmth, the fire became stronger. The arrival of the Dragon Heir caught everyone off guard and consolidated the national destiny of the Great Chu by 30%.

In addition, the King of Huainan betrayed Li Yang. If the Great Chu collapsed at that time, he would be doomed to die without a burial place. However, the later "King of Shu" was not without a glimmer of hope, and fortunately he survived with the appeasement of the court.

This glimmer of hope is the basis for the current cooperation between the two sides. After all, if there is no rebellion, even if his troops are exhausted, Prince Guangling can still be a free and easy prince.

Prince Guangling was secretly angry when he heard this, but he just smiled awkwardly and asked, "When does Mr. Cao plan to take action? The last time we delivered the intelligence, it was all Yang Shenxing's fault. Now most of Xiangyang City's defense is in the charge of the Beiwei Army."

"Three days later, in the evening."

At some point, a swordsman appeared behind the main seat, scaring Prince Guangling so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Cao Changqing introduced, "This is the leader of Zhulu Mountain. He is currently ranked sixth in the world and a warrior in the immortal realm. To be honest, I might not have been able to defeat him before I turned into a tyrant. Zhulu Mountain has 4,000 martial arts masters under its command. They are well-trained and will be a great help to us."

Prince Guangling took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He had excessive internal heat and liver and kidney yin deficiency. He was so shocked that he even felt a little weak.

"I am more interested in the leader of the martial arts world. Half of the men from Zhulu Mountain will follow me to stop us, and the other half will be under your command to coordinate the internal and external forces." said the swordsman.

Cao Changqing cupped his hands, raised them, and asked, "Can we, together, keep the Duke of Ji? I have little understanding of the physique of a warrior."

"Maybe I can win, but I can definitely not kill him. I only know that Nagarjuna's defense is the best in the world, and Duke Ji did not become a Buddhist but directly entered the realm of immortal on earth. However, his double Vajra physique is definitely far beyond imagination. At least he can be regarded as one and a half Nagarjuna. You can fight me if I want." The swordsman obviously did not want to waste his efforts.

"Then let me examine that person's chess skills."

……

Time flies, three days later.

A large group of righteous martial artists left the city and headed for Moon-Watching Mountain, thirty miles away, to participate in the blood-drinking ceremony of the martial arts leader. Most of them were knights without any sect or school, who wanted to take this opportunity to find a towering tree to rely on.

Wangfu Street.

Xia Mi and Cuihua packed their bags and set off, and Wu Huoyue also traveled with them.

What will follow is the great battle between good and evil, and in the process of swallowing up the fortune, heroes are bound to come on stage one after another. Maybe a group of second-grade junior grandmasters or even a few first-grade masters will emerge.

Jiang Yuan watched the three Taoyuan sisters leave.

"Sir, three hundred soldiers of the Extermination Army have already entered the palace and the various villas."

Beside him, Ning Shijian reported.

"Each of you be on your guard."

"promise."

Jiang Yuan turned and walked into the villa, the door was open.

Of course he couldn't kill Cao Changqing, otherwise half of Western Chu would collapse, and the remnants and Southern Tang would be unable to hold on alone. And three hundred soldiers were already the limit to protect Wangfu Street, which was considered as a reward for staying overnight.

Several crows flew up from the courtyard and circled high in the sky.

……

In the evening, the last few caravans entering the city faced guard inspection.

When the captain approached, the leader immediately drew the sword from the cart, chopped down with all his strength, and cut off the opponent's head.

Like a clarion call to action, two or three hundred people at different city gates took up weapons at the same time and frantically attacked the guards.

The spear-bearing soldiers of the Chu Imperial Guards were all composed of strong men in the army. They all practiced the secret external skills and had the strength of nine oxen and the courage to be the first to attack. Their lifespan was only forty, but they fully utilized their horizontal training skills and were comparable to the Praefectus Urbi in the Liyang Palace.

On the city wall, a captain on duty lit a beacon, but when he turned around, he was killed by a Beiwei army captain. On the four walls, thousands of Beiwei soldiers watched the beacon fire pass.

Within a quarter of an hour, a total of 50,000 elite troops from the four camps outside the city came out to provide support, but what awaited them was a closed gate and a hail of arrows.

The crow circled in the sky and saw the billowing smoke and dust approaching the earth rapidly.

Kou Jianghuai, a young general of the Great Chu State, led 20,000 cavalrymen and directly broke through the outer defense line of the troops outside the city.

And in an unknown corner, the Beiwei Army's cavalry, who originally served as scouts, wielded their knives against their comrades.

After the King of Huainan moved into the capital of Chu and the King of Yan proclaimed himself emperor, the third vassal king with the surname Zhao rebelled.

The Great Chu not only wanted to capture Xiangyang, but also wanted to destroy the main elite forces of the Southwest Protectorate.

Outside the city, Yang Shenxing, an old general from the Spring and Autumn Period, was on the battlefield and had never felt so dangerous.

One third of the 40,000 veteran soldiers brought from Ji'nan were lost in the last defeat, and are now on the verge of collapse.

"You fat thief who sells out his master for fame! I will chop off your head."

"Old General, you should take care of yourself first."

On the city wall, Prince Guangling laughed loudly. A general's chair could hardly bear his weight. Two beautiful courtesans sat on his laps to serve him. They were obviously frightened, but they dared not show it at all.

Inside the city, the eldest prince led his personal soldiers and family generals to attack the Beiwei army again and again. Because of the betrayal of his uncle, nearly 100,000 main naval forces lost contact with Xiangyang, and the 50,000 Protectorate Army was about to be destroyed, and the Central Plains was in danger.

Outside the battlefield, the Demon Cult has surrounded Moon Watching Mountain and besieged the righteous martial arts world.

……

In Xiangyang City.

Prince Jing'an walked out of the palace, accompanied by the fake prince and the Zhixuan realm warrior Wang Mingyin.

"How are the troops on the border?"

The general knelt on one knee, not daring to look up.

Of the two pillars of Western Chu, Kou Jianghuai and Xie Xichui, only one of them has appeared now, and it is obvious where the other one is.

"How many more manpower can be mobilized in the city?" Prince Jing'an twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand.

"I am willing to fight to the death. I have only 8,000 men." The general answered with difficulty.

"The situation is over." Prince Jing'an sighed, "The prince has gone to the south of the city again."

This time it was Wang Mingyin's turn to remain silent. The prince thought he was acting in secret, but he didn't know that the prince had already known that he kept a beauty in captivity. This was not a big deal, but the key was that the beauty was 70% similar to the second Princess Jing'an, Pei Nanwei, which was simply outrageous.

There was silence for a moment, and Prince Jing'an laughed at himself.

"Guangling is your majesty's younger brother. Now he is leading his troops to rebel. If I, your brother who once stood by you through thick and thin, remain loyal to the country, will he laugh at me?"

"Your Majesty is so righteous." Wang Mingyin clasped his fists.

"What noble righteousness? It's just a name and righteousness of hereditary succession. I saved his eldest son's life. If he can't even give up this little thing, then he deserves to die as the second Li Yang. What's more... forget it, I don't want to talk about the prince." Prince Jing'an ordered, "Send the princess and the servants of the palace to the other courtyard and let the Duke of Ji take care of them. You all follow me to see the eldest prince."

"Your Highness, a quarter of an hour ago, the spy saw a man in a blue shirt walking into the courtyard." said the general.

"No wonder there has been no movement. Just do as you say. How can they fight over a woman? What a joke."

"promise."
