All sects work

Chapter 240: Destroying the Heaven (12)

This new army consisted of less than two hundred people. The leading generals were two children in their teens, and the rest were women. It sounded like they were just joking.

"General, although this is an army secretly trained by the Lord, the training time is not long. Can it really be used?"

Xiao Hongfan asked, "Do you think the Lord is someone who treats the battlefield as a joke?"

"I dare not!" The deputy general lowered his head.

The Red Blood Army after the integration were all people who were rescued by Shi Xuanying. They were grateful and respectful to her, but those two young generals looked too immature...

"Now we will not have a head-on confrontation with the main forces of Xu and Qu for the time being. It is a good time to hone the new army." Xiao Hongfan could understand why Shi Xuanying chose this time to send the new army to the battlefield, and he would not question it because of age and gender.

She laughed and said, "Don't underestimate Jiang Sandongsi because he is young. I may not be able to beat them. And those women are all people who have climbed out of the mud. They should not lack courage."

Facts have proved that what Xiao Hongfan said was absolutely correct.

After Xiao Hongfan learned about the strength of the new army, he boldly used them as the main force to attack Qu County. To be on the safe side, he arranged for a thousand Red Blood Army soldiers to assist.

It would be hard to have such a chance to test her skills again, so she thought it was worth the risk.

Before leaving, Shi Xuanying gave a few instructions to Jiang Chuixing and Dongfang Zhentian separately, and the two of them led the new army to sneak into the city before dawn.

Qu County is similar to Linxi County. It is located in a remote area. It has not been given much attention before and after it was incorporated into the territory of Qu State. There are very few troops stationed there. The walls around the county are low, and a first or second level martial artist can easily climb over them with the help of force.

The siege was exceptionally short.

Less than two hundred new troops killed more than four hundred of Qu's troops. The subsequent Red Blood Army arrived to clean up the battlefield and eventually captured more than three hundred enemy soldiers.

The people were awakened by the sound of fighting and saw strange flags raised on the blood-soaked earthen walls. Only then did they realize that Qu County had changed hands.

A Pu's face turned pale. He looked at the dark red blood on his hands and said in a trembling voice, "Dong, Dong Niang, I killed someone..."

In contrast, Dong Niang was much calmer. She held A Pu's hand and said, "The master said that power is always accompanied by struggle and fighting. We just want to take back what belongs to us."

"A Pu, we won!" She smiled with a gleam in her eyes.

In order to make the cows work well, people cut grass, feed and take good care of them. If they are injured or sick, they will not force them to work in the fields. However, they seem to be born to owe everyone, and their lives are far worse than those of cows. In fact, even they once felt from the bottom of their hearts that cows were more important than themselves.

But who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Although Dong Niang still doesn't know what the future will be like, in the process of chasing, she has already tasted the joy of dominating her own destiny.

Fate is not invincible, and they are not born to be trampled underfoot.

In the illusion created by Shi Xuanying, Dong Niang once killed her husband with her own hands. After going to the battlefield, she saw that all the enemy soldiers had the face of the man who beat her to death, and she could not suppress the murderous intent in her heart. A Pu chose to escape at that time, and psychologically she still had not gotten over that hurdle.

However, they had been training day and night during this period, and had already formed muscle memory. When she saw several Qu soldiers slashing at her vitals with knives with murderous intent, her body had already resisted before her brain even moved. After calming down, she was slowly overwhelmed by the tide of fear.

There are many people who have had the same experience as A Pu.

The Red Blood Army looked at the group of women from afar and couldn't help but think of themselves when they first went to the battlefield.

"Hey!" A man shouted from afar towards the city wall.

The female soldiers looked down and saw many Red Blood Army soldiers standing below with torches in their hands.

The man shouted to them, "This was a beautiful fight! You are all this!"

He gave a thumbs up.

The bright firelight illuminated the hand, and the men below shouted "Brave" in unison.

At this moment, the women felt their blood boiling, instantly diluting the fear of killing someone for the first time.

A Pu's eyes were red, and he took a few quick breaths. He turned around and wanted to say something, but he saw the faint morning light falling on a bloodstained face. Dong Niang seemed to be glowing. She was stunned for a moment before she murmured, "We... won."

"Yes, we won."

Not only did we win this battle! Jiang Chuixing stared at his blade in deep thought amid the cheers.

As a sword cultivator, he had naturally killed people before, and he had defeated opponents who were stronger than himself many times by crossing levels. At that time, he only felt happy in his heart, but today, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, but he felt uncomfortable all over.

Although with his strength, killing ordinary people is as easy as crushing an ant, killing his own kind is not like crushing an ant after all.

"What are you doing? Let's go!" Dongfang Zhentian had been to the dust pit many times and it was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, so he didn't have much feeling about it.

"Oh." Jiang Chuixing put away his knife and went down the city wall behind her.

Jiang Chuixing usually quickly put aside things he couldn't figure out, but this time it was different. He would have to go to the battlefield frequently in the future. When he thought about having this uncomfortable feeling every time he fought a battle, he felt itchy all over.

So after returning to the camp, he went straight to the commander's tent.

"Uncle Master."

Shi Xuanying's voice was slightly cold: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Chuixing was startled by the subtle feeling of strangeness, but seeing that his uncle's face was the same as usual, he ignored the feeling at that moment: "I killed many people, and I feel uncomfortable, but I can't figure out why I feel uncomfortable."

Shi Xuanying held up her chin and thought.

Is it because of bullying? It seems so, but it also seems not.

Completely different flowers will bloom in different environments. In her previous life, Master Xuanying crawled out of a pigsty. Anyone who got in the way of her cultivation, whether strong or weak, would be killed by her. When she became powerful, she also bullied the weak.

To her, there is not much difference between ordinary people and ants. She will not kill an ant for no reason, it’s just because ants are not in her “diet”!

Therefore, she did not understand Jiang Chuixing's confusion.

After all, she had almost reached the pinnacle of the world of cultivation in her previous life. Most of the people she faced were weaker than herself, and she was used to the law of the jungle.

"Because you feel that you are killing innocent people and hurting the weak." Seeing that both of them were confused, Yan Cui said, "Ordinary people are weak, but when they gather together, they can generate huge energy. Otherwise, why do you think the great masters in this world are willing to maintain a 'non-aggression' balance with ordinary people? If you look at the army as a whole, you will understand that they are not weak."

"As for whether these people are innocent or not? They are already dead, and only a shadow remains. However, they will continue to rush over to stop you from leaving this dust. In this case, do you still think they are innocent?"

"That makes a lot of sense!" Jiang Chuixing felt that his words were well-founded and convincing.

Shi Xuanying was not so easy to deal with. She stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

She told Xiao Hongfan that "the world belongs to all" and "all under heaven are one family" were just the conclusions she came to after reading countless books in this world after entering Shanchenjie. When she read these theories that were completely different from her own ideas, she knew that they were talking about "equality", which was exactly what Xiao Hongfan wanted, so she used them directly without thinking about it deeply.

"When the great Dao is practiced, the world is for all." Now that Master Xuanying has thought about it carefully, she actually doesn't believe this theory from the bottom of her heart. "Does this kind of 'Dao' really exist?"

Those books also contain sayings such as "forgetting personal interests for the public and forgetting family for the country". Although they are not complete, they already give us a glimpse of a completely different "Tao".

So far, she has only seen Xi Nu's selflessness. If ordinary people can do this, then everyone is a god?

She thought, could this be the opportunity for a new world to emerge in the dust?

But...it doesn't seem right.

In this world, even if Xiao Hongfan is a destined general, he will still harbor deep hatred for Emperor Qu and will resolutely rebel when he gets the chance.

"I think it will exist." Yan Cui said firmly.

"Do you know why Xiao Mengyu died?" Yan Cui did not wait for her answer and continued, "He held most of the military power of the Qu Kingdom at that time. If he was unwilling to surrender, the Qu Kingdom might not be named Qu today."

"I heard that when they were young, they had made a great ambition to create a prosperous era. At that time, Xiao Mengyu still believed that Emperor Qu had not forgotten his original intention and thought that his existence might really hinder the arrival of that prosperous era, so he surrendered. Xiao Mengyu might be naive, but he was not blindly loyal. He chose to die, not because 'the king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had to die', he died for his ideals."

Xiao Mengyu’s mistake was that he was too sincere and trusted the wrong person.

"If there are countless people in the world who are willing to sacrifice for the same ideal and belief, then the 'Tao' will exist." Yan Cui suddenly asked her, "Do you have an ideal?"

Shi Xuanying was not convinced by him, but she said without hesitation, "Yes."
