Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhengyang Pass.
“Your Majesty, we have already launched three attacks. Zhu Qinghe is indeed the military god of Nanxuan Kingdom. We are unable to take Zhengyang Pass,” Wu Yue said as he walked up to Ye Chen.
“He is indeed the true military god of Nanxuan Kingdom. It seems like we have to change our fighting style!” Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
“Oh, how does Your Majesty want to fight?” Wu Yue asked.
“How do you think the soldiers of the Nanxuan Kingdom are compared to our soldiers?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.
“They are a thousand miles apart!”
“That’s right. The reason why the Nanxuan Kingdom was able to defend our three attacks is because they have Zhu Qinghe. What if they don’t have Zhu Qinghe?” Ye Chen said.
“Your Majesty, are you saying that we should assassinate Zhu Qinghe?” Wu Yue asked.
“That’s right. If we assassinate Zhu Qinghe, the Nanxuan Kingdom’s soldiers will beco a pile of loose sand. When that ti cos, Zhengyang Pass will definitely be broken. When that ti cos, we will be able to fight our way all the way to the Nanxuan Kingdom’s imperial capital!” Ye Chen said.
Wu Yue thought for a mont and quickly asked, “How does Your Majesty intend to assassinate him?”
“Tonight, with the four Transcending Tribulation Realm experts and Zhenren Zhang, Zhu Qinghe will definitely die!” Ye Chen said calmly.
“Yes! I will make the arrangents right away!” Wu Yue hurriedly said.
...
In the imperial court of the Nanxuan Kingdom.
Zhang Tiancheng looked at all the officials indifferently. “The Eastern Imperial Kingdom is coming nacingly. Right now, they have already arrived at Zhengyang Pass and are pressing their way toward us. Does anyone have any plans to retreat?”
At this mont, one of the officials stepped forward and said, “Zhengyang Pass is easy to defend but hard to attack. It is the strongest barrier in our Nanxuan Kingdom. If Zhengyang Pass is broken, I’m afraid that we will no longer be able to defend against the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. Hence, Zhengyang Pass can not be broken!”
“This Emperor feels the sa way. Hence, we can only strengthen the defense of Zhengyang Pass. Right now, who else in our Nanxuan Kingdom will be able to fight against the Eastern Imperial Kingdom?” Zhang Tiancheng asked.
At this mont, another official said, “The officials and generals in the imperial court are currently in disarray. It seems that only Princess Xueyan of the Nanxuan Kingdom will be able to withstand the attack of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!”
In truth, all of this had been agreed upon by them. Although Zhang Tiancheng had already forged the imperial edict and seized the throne, Dongfang Xueyan was still a scourge by his side. He could not kill her directly, so, he could only borrow the hand of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to get rid of Dongfang Xueyan.
Moreover, as the Emperor, he did not care about the throne. His true goal was the ancestral line of the Nanxuan Kingdom. As long as he obtained the ancestral line, he would imdiately leave the Nanxuan Kingdom and return to the demi-human race.
By that point, what did the life and death of the Nanxuan Kingdom have to do with him?
“Princess Xueyan, what do you think?” Zhang Tiancheng looked at Dongfang Xueyan and asked.
Dongfang Xueyan’s expression changed drastically. She knew that all of this was a ploy by Zhang Tiancheng. However, she had no power or influence in the imperial court, so how could she win against Zhang Tiancheng.
Furthermore, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was indeed coming nacingly. As the Princess of Nanxuan Kingdom, if she did not protect Nanxuan Kingdom, who would protect Nanxuan Kingdom?
“I’ll go!” Dongfang Xueyan gritted her silver teeth and said coldly.
Zhengyang Pass.
Wang Qing and Dongfang Xueyan arrived at Zhengyang Pass. Zhu Qinghe hurriedly ca out to welco them, “Welco, Your Highness!”
“General Zhu, no need for formalities!” Dongfang Xueyan hurriedly said.
“I don’t know why Your Highness has co to Zhengyang Pass. The Eastern Imperial Kingdom’s army is pressing down on our borders, and Zhengyang Pass is currently in a dangerous period. For the safety of Your Highness, Your Highness, please return!” Zhu Qinghe hurriedly said.
Dongfang Xueyan looked at Zhu Qinghe and said indifferently, “General Zhu, my father, the Emperor, has passed away!”
The mont these words were said, Zhu Qinghe was instantly stunned on the spot. He did not dare believe his own ears, but these words ca from the mouth of the Emperor’s only daughter, so he had no choice but to believe it.
“How could this be?”
Dongfang Xueyan looked at Zhu Qinghe and said, “All of this is the conspiracy of imperial preceptor Zhang Tiancheng. You have been demoted, father’s death, and the attack of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, all of this is the sche of Zhang Tiancheng!”
“What?” Zhu Qinghe was shocked.
“Zhang Tiancheng killed father and is now the Emperor of the kingdom. He only asked to assist you for one purpose!” Dongfang Xueyan said.
“He wants to use the hands of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to kill you! This way, no one will stop him from becoming the Emperor!” Zhu Qinghe asked.
Zhu Qinghe sighed and said, “It seems that now, only by getting the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to withdraw their troops can we slowly resolve the matters of the imperial court!”
“Your Highness, please rest assured. As long as we withdraw the troops of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, I will definitely help you to find out the truth and get Zhang Tiancheng to scram out of Nanxuan Kingdom!”Zhu Qinghe hurriedly said.
Dongfang Xueyan hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you very much, General Zhu!”
“Oh right, how is the situation on the frontlines now?”Dongfang Xueyan hurriedly asked.
“The Eastern Imperial Kingdom has already attacked my Zhengyang Pass three tis. However, each ti they attacked, they were only testing the waters. They only sent over 10,000 n over, and when they lost half of their n, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom imdiately withdrew their troops. They did not linger in battle at all. It can be seen that the troops of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom are an extrely terrifying opponent.”
“If they were to launch a large-scale attack, I would definitely find a way to make it so that they would never be able to return. However, for such a probing attack, I can not reveal my thods,” Zhu Qinghe said.
“I didn’t expect the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to be so cautious. Zhengyang Pass is the strongest fortress of our Nanxuan Kingdom. If we were to lose control of this place, I’m afraid that our Nanxuan Kingdom would really be annexed by the Eastern Imperial Kingdom,” Dongfang Xueyan said.
Zhu Qinghe hurriedly said, “Your Highness, rest assured. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.”
“Thank you, General Zhu!”
After the two of them conversed, the princess returned to her tent to rest.
Zhu Qinghe also returned to rest.
At this mont, four figures silently arrived at Zhengyang Pass.
They were Ye Chen, Yang Xuan, the Black Flood Dragon, and Bai Luoli!
Luo Shuihan and Wu Yue were outside, leading an army to support them at any ti. As long as Ye Chen and the others killed Zhu Qinghe, they would imdiately send out a signal for Luo Shuihan to advance. At that ti, Zhengyang Pass would definitely be broken!
All of them were in the Transcending Tribulation Realm. At their realm, it was the easiest to climb over walls and hide their auras. Hence, no one could discover them.
Ye Chen and Bai Luoli hid in the darkness while the Black Flood Dragon and Yang Xuan went to investigate.
After a while, Yang Xuan and the Black Flood Dragon returned.
The Black Flood Dragon hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, I’ve already found the military camp where Zhu Qinghe is.”
“Alright, let’s go!”
The four of them quietly ca to the side of Zhu Qinghe’s military camp. Through the candlelight, they could see that Zhu Qinghe was not sleeping. Instead, he was handling official business.
As expected of an important official of the Nanxuan Kingdom. He was still busy with his military affairs. They could be certain that Zhu Qinghe was definitely a good general. However, it was a pity that he was born in the Nanxuan Kingdom. Therefore, he had to die tonight!
Although Zhu Qinghe was not asleep, this did not affect Ye Chen and the others from killing him.
One had to know that Ye Chen and the others were in the Transcending Tribulation Realm. It would be easy for them to kill Zhu Qinghe!
“Go!”
Ye Chen said softly!
Imdiately, the four people rushed into the military camp.
