Text Chapter 320 Never Marry

Spring goes and winter comes, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Imperial calendar 7734, in January, Tang Lan and Su Muyun raised 400,000 troops from the empire and crossed the mountains to attack the Lingkong province. They were defeated by Long Qianlin, one of the seven commanders in Lingnan, with a plan of delay, and a heavy snow fell in the cold Let the imperial army lose all supplies, be attacked by the Yihe army, lose more than 200,000 people, Lingdong province and Tongtian province were captured by the Yihe country, and the corpses lay thousands of miles above the Qinling Mountains. This is after the rebuilding of the empire. In the first fiasco, even Xiang Yu and other generals were injured.

In March, the army returned to the imperial capital.

In the Zetian Palace, Qin Yin's beautiful face lost a little immaturity after being baptized by wind and frost, but it became a little more mature. She pressed the hilt of the Ziyin sword and stood majestically in front of the throne, looking at it with cold eyes. Looking at the people in the main hall, he said: "Grandpa, Your Highness Qihaiwang, why did you achieve this defeat, give me a reason."

Tang Lan and Su Muyun knelt down together, silent.

Feng Jixing stood aside holding on to the hilt of his sword, came out suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this battle is not a battle, our every move is almost under the opponent's control, and most of the food and grass supplies have been intercepted and burned. So the 400,000 troops lost their supplies on the Qinling Mountains, plus the delay was too long, and there were not enough cotton clothes, and a heavy snowfall completely wiped out the imperial army's combat power."

"What's going on?" Qin Yin asked.

Feng Jixing said: "In the past three years, Lingnan has once again built nearly a hundred chivalrous mansions in Lingbei. Our military information was secretly reported to Yihe Kingdom, and this is also the biggest reason for the great defeat."

Qin Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiang Yu, send troops to guard the borders of Tianshu Province and Cangnan Province, and don't let the Yihe Kingdom attack again. Commander Feng, you will be responsible for destroying the knight's hotel. It will take half a year." I don’t want any chivalrous mansions in the empire.”

"Your Highness, this..."

"What's the matter, there is a problem."

"Yes." Feng Jixing clasped his fists and said, "Does Your Highness know about the seven powerhouses in the Yihe Kingdom? Han Jun, Lu Zhan, Fan Yun, Duanmu Fang, Xia Houzhu, Yan Li, and Buhai. They are all Luo Lan's disciples, and now three of them have entered the territory of Lingbei, and they are lurking in the chivalrous mansion in the mountains, which is the reason why we have repeatedly failed in conquest of the chivalrous mansion."

"Are you going to let them go on like this?"

Qin Yin's eyes were full of doubts, and said: "Wei Chou, bring the Long Danying to assist Commander Feng, and we must uproot the chivalrous mansions in Lingbei Province and Cangnan Province."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Chou clasped his fists and said, beside him, the three generals Qin Yan, Luo Yu, and Feng Xi also looked eager to try, Longdanying hadn't made a move for a long time, this time is an opportunity.

As for killing Sanctuary, this is not too difficult. After all, Lin Muyu once left 100,000 white diamond arrows, which is the killer weapon of the Longdan Camp.

"Your Highness."

Su Muyun clasped his fists, and said with a stern expression on his face: "In the battle of Lingkong province, the empire lost troops and lost generals. It was all the fault of the veteran. The veteran asked for punishment and voluntarily took away the title of King of Clouds."

"It's rare that grandpa understands righteousness so well."

Qin Yin smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, come, someone will deprive Su Muyun of the title of king in Yunzhong and restore the title of Duke Muyun to show that rewards and punishments are clear. Grandpa doesn't have to worry about it. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Next time you win it back." , We have five fertile and rich lands, Qihai Province, Yunzhong Province, Lingbei Province, Cangnan Province, and Tianshu Province, and Yihe Kingdom will not last long."

"Yes, Your Highness is wise." Su Muyun knelt down on the ground again.

On the side, Tang Lan frowned, finally knelt down slowly, and said, "Your Highness, since Duke Yun has resigned from the lord, Tang Lan should also resign from the lord, and return to Duke Lan voluntarily."

"Yes." Qin Yin said happily.

...

In the afternoon, under the leadership of Feng Jixing, 5,000 Imperial Guards left the city, followed by 1,000 elites from the Longdan Camp. Due to repeated obstructions by Tang Lan and Su Muyun, the Longdan Camp was still unable to expand to more than a thousand people. Fortunately, Wei Qiu Leading troops well, these 1,000 people are all elites, skilled in bows and horses, and their combat power is far better than any army of the same number in the empire.

"Leader Wei Chou."

Feng Jixing held the rein and said, "Which mountain do you think we should attack first?"

"Longyan Mountain."

Wei Chou's expression was not very good, and he said: "These bastards from the Knight's Inn occupied Longyan Mountain again a year ago. This is a disgrace to our Longdan Camp. I have long wanted to fight Longyan Mountain."

"Oh well……"

Feng Jixing raised his mouth and said, "It's just that the main altar of the Knights' Hall in Lanyan City is stationed on Longyan Mountain. It is said that there lives a strong man in the sanctuary named Buhai on the mountain. When we wiped out Longyan Mountain, we had a bad nose, and almost left our lives on Longyan Mountain."

"Even Xiang Yu is no match for Bu Hai." Wei Chou couldn't help being speechless.

"That's not..." Feng Jixing's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Anyway, Xiang Yu has already stepped into the sanctuary a year ago. In terms of strength, he should be on par with Bu Hai, but he was later acquired by Duke Lan. The secret order is to withdraw the troops and return to Lanyan City."

"snort."

Wei Chou said coldly: "I guess Tang Lan doesn't want to die in Buhai."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Feng Jixing put his hand on the handle of the knife, with a warm spring breeze blowing on his face, and said, "I guess Tang Lan is worried about defeating Xiang Yu, a fierce general, so...he is waiting for other imperial troops to go to destroy Longyan Mountain, and you are too." It should be understood that among the major legions in the empire, only the Forbidden Army and the Longdan Battalion are directly under the command of the Empress."

"Um."

Wei Chou smiled meaningfully: "Unfortunately, the establishment of the Longdan Battalion is controlled within 1,000 people, and the establishment of the Imperial Army is controlled within 20,000, otherwise..."

"Don't think too much about it." Feng Jixing tightened the tie of the cloak, and said, "One step counts as one step, but as long as we are here, no one will dare to touch Her Highness, this is enough."

"yes."

There was some light in Wei Chou's eyes, and he murmured: "It's a pity...the ruler is gone, otherwise he is also a person who can make up his mind, at least he won't let Her Royal Highness suffer so much humiliation."

Feng Jixing raised his head to look at the clear sky, and said leisurely: "That kid Ah Yu...is indeed a rare general, it's just a pity..."

"Let's not talk anymore, let's garrison troops at the foot of Longyan Mountain tonight, and attack the mountain tomorrow."

"Um."

...

In Lanyan City, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, butterflies are flying in the elixir department, and there is a scene of warblers and swallows.

Chu Yao slowly opened one hand, and Ninghua slowly pulled away the medicinal essence of the herb with her hand, her beautiful eyes were very peaceful, beside her, the pear blossom sword swayed slowly in the air, as if she was accompanying the hostess.

"Elder Deacon, you still need to refine the medicine yourself..." An old man wearing a deacon's attire laughed beside him.

"Yeah." Chu Yao nodded lightly, and said, "If I calm myself down, I really don't know what to do, so... let's refine more potions when I have nothing to do. Deacon Li, what's the matter?"

"Um."

Deacon Li cupped his hands and said: "Over there in the temple, we need a few bottles of anti-aging potions, but this anti-aging potion is a level 8 formula, and we old guys can't do anything, so we can only ask the big deacon to refine the medicine in person." gone."

"Is that so..." Chu Yao blinked and asked, "Is it possible that Ge Yang, the chief deacon of the temple, is ill again?"

"Yes." Deacon Li respectfully said: "Deacon Geyang has been in poor health since he regained control of the temple. You also know that Deacon Geyang has not stepped into the sanctuary yet, so time is taking his life. He is over ninety years old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the sanctuary realm in his lifetime, so he can only rely on anti-aging potions to maintain his vitality."

"I see." Chu Yao pursed her red lips and said, "The level 8 formula will take a while to refine, so you can pick it up at dusk."

"yes."

Deacon Li looked aside, a black exquisite bead was hanging on the bracket of Chu Yao's desk, swaying gently, it was Qin Yin got it from Lin Muyu and handed it to Chu Yao.

"Deacon, this bead... who is the figure engraved on it." He asked suddenly.

Chu Yao was stunned suddenly, standing there with her graceful body, after a long silence, she murmured: "They are...they are the ones I've been dreaming of, the ones I've only seen in my dreams..."

Deacon Li was stunned for a moment, cupped his fists respectfully, bowed to Linglongzhu and said, "Master Chu Huaimian and Lord Lin Muyu's spirits in heaven will surely bless the prosperity of the empire, and please don't be too sad, Grand Deacon. The matter of coming to ask for a kiss..."

Chu Yao said lightly: "Don't bother me about this kind of thing, I won't marry anyone."

"yes."

...

The temple, the palace in the minds of the warriors of the empire, has been rebuilt, but the black ashes on the walls have not been completely cleaned up, and it seems to let the world remember the shame and hatred of the past.

In the chief deacon's office, Ge Yang had silver hair and was holding a penholder with a trembling palm, writing a reply page by page on the dossier. On the side, a young silver star instructor smiled and said, "Deacon, your hand holding the pen Trembling more and more."

Ge Yang glanced at him, and said: "You are troublesome, I know..."

He suddenly put down the pen holder, leaned back in the chair, and said with a smile: "I am old, originally this matter should be done by young people, but unfortunately... the talents in the Imperial Temple are withered, how many days have passed in three years?" Precious lives were lost in the Lanyan City Rebellion, alas..."

The young instructor smiled: "The chief deacon is talking about Deacon Lin Muyu. Although I haven't met him, everyone in the temple remembers him. He is the youngest person in the empire with the power of a heavenly king."

"It's not just the strength of the king of heaven..." Ge Yang's eyes shone faintly, and said: "If Ah Yu hadn't died, with his advancement speed, I'm afraid he would have entered the sanctuary by now."

"The Chief Deacon's request to resign His Highness was rejected again... His Highness said that the Longdan Camp also needs people, and Qin Yan can no longer return to the temple to serve as the Chief Deacon."

"Yeah, everyone needs someone..."

Ge Yang sighed leisurely, picked up the pen holder again,
