Chapter 188 The Third Bottle

Huang Feng naturally understood. He agreed on the spot, which was somewhat embarrassing. Besides, Jing Cang would probably have to have a final discussion with the elders of the sect during this day.

However, Jing Cang was really angry when he said this. He wanted to fight with Huang Feng again, but he thought that he had lived for hundreds or thousands of years after all, so how could he really fight with Huang Feng, a young boy.

"It's good that you understand." Jing Cang snorted and said to Gu Tingzhang, "Come with me."

He lost the competition and had no power to fight back. As a master, he must teach and enlighten him.

Jing Lan did not feel that the sect had lost someone. He came to Huang Feng, looked at him again, and nodded, saying, "I like you better now."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

...

Ganzhou, adjacent to Qingzhou, although it has suffered from severe drought like Qingzhou in recent years, no one has chosen to stand with Qingzhou since the incident.

Now, several important roads from Qingzhou to Ganzhou are facing a great enemy. After all, if Qingzhou wants to attack Zhaoyang and does not want to take a long detour, Ganzhou is a must-go place.

Tinglang Pass, a small checkpoint on the edge of Ganzhou.

On the Guanzhong Watchtower, several soldiers were talking while observing the surroundings.

"How could those cowards in Qingzhou be so desperate that they actually joined the rebellion? We don't even know whether the Li Ying lineage is true or not."

"Who said it wasn't true? Even if it was true, what if the emperor changed, would the drought stop?

If you want to talk about severe drought, Ganzhou is also suffering from drought. Other prefectures send grain to us every year. We have exempted taxes for five years. We have seen it all. I don't think it makes sense to blame the emperor for the severe drought."

"You think it doesn't make sense, but the people of Qingzhou think it makes sense. Aren't they going to fight?"

"I hope they don't fight us. I want to live a few more years."

"There are seven or eight roads from Qingzhou to this side. Ours is the most remote and narrowest. It should be... damn!"

The man cursed and rang the gong to warn. It turned out that an army appeared in the distance. Judging from the crowds of heads and flags, there were a lot of them.

The defenders of Guanzhong heard the sound and rushed to the city wall with weapons in hand.

"Dad." A young man in silver armor followed his father to the tower, but was stopped.

"What are you going to do? You don't hold any official position now, and you are not a soldier in Guanzhong. Don't cause trouble for me."

The man who spoke was Yun Pu, the commander of Tinglang Pass. The young man was his son Yun Daoning. He originally brought him to Guanzhong to familiarize him with military life and prepare for the military examination. Unexpectedly, there was a turmoil in Qingzhou. He had always wanted to send his son away, but Yun Daoning refused to leave.

Yun Daoning did not make a scene. After being rejected, he just asked calmly, "Dad, are you going to surrender or abandon the pass and flee?"

"Bullshit, how could your father do such a thing."

"That's it. Since we have to fight to the death, it's best to hold the pass. If we can't hold the pass and the enemy breaks through, there will be no survivors. If you let me stay in the pass, I will just wait for death." Yun Daoning glanced at the deputy general beside Yun Pu and smiled, "Dad, you are not going to play the old trick. Seeing that the pass is about to be broken, let someone knock me out and send me away."

It has to be said that Yun Pu really has this idea.

"Dad, give up. You are the only one who can beat me in Tinglang Pass. At such a critical moment, I don't think you can spare the time to fight me."

"You little bastard, I rebelled against you."

"Dad, don't say that. I didn't rebel. I rebelled against the people of Qingzhou." Yun Daoning stretched out his hand and summoned a red tasseled spear from the weapon rack in the distance. He put away his casual attitude just now and said seriously, "The general died in a hundred battles. Dad, what does it mean for me to escape now?"

Yun Pu snorted coldly: "That's why I didn't agree with you practicing martial arts in the first place."

" But I am not a good student, and I don't have any martial arts skills. I might be eaten by ghosts one day. It's cowardly. It's better to die on the battlefield. "Yun Daoning smiled and said, "Dad, let me fight with you today."

Yun Pu was silent. He couldn't delay any longer, so he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, go up to the tower, but you have to remember one thing, this Tinglang Pass is my Tinglang Pass. If you want to die, die behind me."

"I understand, Dad." Yun Daoning followed him up the tower and saw that a large number of troops were stationed not far outside the pass.

"Light the beacon fire and go around to ask for help." Yun Pu saw at a glance that the number of people on both sides was somewhat different, so he didn't hold on and immediately sent people to ask for help.

In the army outside the pass, someone saw the beacon fire on the Pavilion Pass and hurriedly said to the leading general: "General Liu, the other side has lit the beacon fire."

"It's lit, no one will come to rescue."

General Liu smiled and glanced back. The defenders on the Pavilion Pass could not see, but he could see clearly that under the helmets of the large number of soldiers behind him, some had no eyes, some even had no eyes, skin and flesh, but were just corpses and skeletons that had died long ago.

Qingzhou has been suffering from drought for so many years, and there are not many other things, but a lot of corpses. However, this army cannot be too conspicuous, and it is most suitable to attack such a remote small pass.

After taking it down, the defenders will be killed and no one will know.

"General, when will we attack?"

"Now."

With a flag waved, the army set off and rushed towards the Pavilion Pass.

"Dad, they are coming."

"I can see it, crossbowmen, get ready, listen to my orders." Yun Pu said, and whispered to Yun Daoning to remind them that the other side will definitely have cultivators coming through the gate soon, so be careful.

"Don't worry, Dad."

...

Huang Feng and Li Motang were waiting in Yuyuan Pavilion. As they thought, Jing Cang did have to discuss this matter with the elders and others in the sect.

However, after seeing today's competition, plus the prestige of Jing Cang and Jing Lan in Yuyuan Pavilion, I think there will be no problem.

"Are you worried?" Huang Feng asked when he saw Li Motang was silent.

Li Motang nodded: "Well, the other side started a rebellion in Qingzhou, but it is definitely not with the idea of ​​defending Qingzhou and taking steady steps. They will definitely do it in one go. Now that I haven't received any news, I am a little worried."

Huang Feng was about to comfort him, but suddenly his heart palpitated. He was somewhat familiar with this feeling. It was the reaction when the heart lake appeared strange. Could it be...

Sure enough, the heart lake fluctuated, and a new drifting bottle emerged and landed on the heart lake, and a voice came from the heart.

"Don't worry, father. As long as I am here, Tinglang Pass will not be lost."

Huang Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked Li Motang: "Where is Tinglang Pass?"

"It's on the border between Ganzhou and Qingzhou. Why are you asking about Tinglang Pass?" Li Motang was a little confused.

Huang Feng said in a deep voice: "Something seems to have happened at Tinglang Pass."

"How do you know?"

"What do you think?"

...

While the two were talking, the gate of Tinglang Pass had been broken, and the battle in Guanzhong was in full swing.

Yun Daoning retreated from the city wall, with a white horse, silver armor and a red tassel spear, guarding the city gate alone, and thousands of troops were reluctant to pass.

Above Tinglang Pass, Yun Pu and his deputy general were entangled with several monks, but they were gradually exhausted.

Yun Daoning saw it and was anxious in his heart: "What's going on? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
