In the main hall of Ying Chang City, Yue Fei invited Jiang Chu to a seat at the top seat while he led the generals to sit down. Jiang Chu felt a burst of awkwardness, not knowing what Yue Fei was trying to do.

Yue Fei bowed deeply and was about to lead the soldiers to kneel down. This made Jiang Chu jump down from his chair and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Yue Fei.

Marshal Yue, you must not. You are a hero of the Song Dynasty.

However, Yue Fei shook his head and said: “The mountains and rivers are shattered, the Second Sages are the quality, I have suffered in the Northern Kingdom, up until now I am still not able to obtain Golden Soldiers and leave the Bianzhou, I am incapable of doing so.”

Seeing Yue Fei’s downcast expression, Jiang Chu could not help but recall something that happened in the past. If Zhao Guangyi did not usurp the throne, and was unable to rule the country, causing war and chaos everywhere, how could the Northern Song Dynasty be destroyed?

If it wasn’t for Zhao Gou’s self-serving and unconscious nature, how could Yue Fei have abandoned halfway through his journey and not be able to take care of the old rivers and mountains? It seemed like inheritance was very important. Zhao Guangyi’s descendant wasn’t very good after all.

That night, Yue Fei and Jiang Chu chatted merrily about wine and talked freely about the world, which made the two of them appreciate each other. Jiang Chu respected Yue Fei’s loyalty and devotion to his country. Yue Fei respected Jiang Chu’s boundless techniques and wisdom.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Chu said sternly: Marshal Yue, no matter if you listen or not, there is something I want to advise you about.

Yue Fei put down his wine cup, looked at Jiang Chu and said: Immortal Master Jiang, feel free to speak.

You have to be careful of reclaiming the mountains and rivers, and your military exploits have been plentiful.

After Yue Fei heard this, he couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart. He had fought in the war for many years, wholeheartedly aiming to recapture the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty. Although there were some peacemakers who continued to interfere in this matter, they had never given up on expelling the barbarians. Jiang Chu’s words seemed to be saying that the Emperor would harm him.

Yue Fei laughed bitterly and said: If the Emperor doubts me because of this, then I have nothing to say. After I expel the barbarians and take back the capital, as well as the Second Saintess, I will resign and return to my hometown.

Hearing Yue Fei’s words, Jiang Chu did not continue to persuade him. In truth, he also did not know how to handle Yue Fei’s problem. After all, this concerned the survival of the Great Song, so how could he explain it clearly with just a few words? Fortunately, history had its own judgment, and he didn’t have to worry about Yue Fei.

Marshal Yue, what do you plan to do next?

Yue Fei raised his wine cup and arrogantly said: “Soldiers, fight to the death with Jin Wushu.”

Alright, then I’ll help you again. Let us join hands to kill Jin Wushu and take him back to Beijing.

The next day, Yue Fei ordered for Yue Yun to be the vanguard, leading 5000 elite troops and 800 strong army. Wang Gui, who was the general on the right side and Niu Gao who was the general on the left side, would lead 10,000 elite soldiers to unite with Yue Yun at Zhu Xian Town in order to prepare to attack Beijing.

Yue Fei and Jiang Chu, on the other hand, led the five hundred cavalrymen past Yanling first, and rushed towards Zhu Xian Town, investigating the terrain, and making strategic preparations. What Yue Fei did not expect was that a fierce battle would take place right after he arrived at Zhu Xian Town.

Around three in the afternoon, Yue Fei and his group had already reached Zhu Xian Town. When all the soldiers were camped and ready to rest, Yue Fei gave the order to gather the troops.

So it turned out that ever since Jiang Chu arrived at Zhu Xian Town, he felt unsettled, as if something big was going to happen. After making a divination, he was shocked. The divination showed that there would be a great battle coming.

They had rushed all the way from Yingchang to this place. There were still 45 miles to the capital, so it was impossible for the Golden Soldiers to know that they had arrived here. Furthermore, Jiang Chu did not feel the Qi of a cultivator, so why would the golden soldier attack the Yue Army?

After thinking about it for a long time, the only explanation he could come up with was that they had met up with something. It was very likely to be a sudden war. Therefore, he immediately looked for Yue Fei to discuss. Yue Fei also arranged for the warriors to raise their spirits to prevent any mishaps since they would rather believe in his existence than not. As long as they survived through the night and waited for the arrival of a large group of people, they would no longer have to fear the Golden Soldiers.

At around five in the afternoon, a scout came to report that fifteen miles to the northeast, an enemy force had been discovered. There were about fifteen thousand people, and they were heading towards Zhu Xian Town.

Jiang Chu and Yue Fei looked at each other, and their thoughts were clear. This was more like it. This group of people were probably headed towards the capital city. It seemed like this was just the vanguard. There might be more people at the back. Jin Wushu suffered a loss at Ying Chang, and this time, he could not possibly only lead ten thousand soldiers to Ying Chang.

Yue Fei asked: Immortal Master Jiang, should we avoid them, or face them head on?

The corner of Jiang Chu’s mouth revealed a trace of ruthlessness: Since we have bumped into them, how could we escape? Even if they are tigers, we have to break two of their teeth.

Five miles north of Zhu Xian Town was the canal. There was a bridge over the river, and it was the only way through the canal. Jiang Chu wanted to set up a Divine Lightning Formation to destroy the enemy’s advance forces.

After setting up the array, Jiang Chu flipped his hand and took out the Air Mixed Lance, passing it over to Yue Fei: Marshal Yue, this spear’s name is Air Mixed Lance, it’s power is incomparably tyrannical, you need to keep it properly, in the future, it will help you kill the enemy.

Yue Fei was shocked when he saw the Air Mixed Lance. He was an expert in Heaven Perfection Stage, how could he not recognize this treasure? The Spitfire he used was a magical equipment. The spear was three meters long and 110 jins in net weight. It was made of cold iron and was incredibly sharp. The spear’s aura was released and it could reach three meters long.

However, compared to the Air Mixed Lance, they were far inferior. Air Mixed Lance s were high-grade treasures. The spear’s body was two meters long and the tip was fifty centimeters. It was made from a mixture of a dozen different types of rare metals, and its sharpness could even penetrate ten centimeters thick steel plates. With Yue Fei’s strength, if he released his spear aura, he could kill people within thirty meters using his Genuine Qi.

Yue Fei’s hands trembled as he received the Air Mixed Lance, but they fiercely sank as he was greatly shocked in his heart. His spear weighed 110 Jin and was already considered a super weapon. This spear was at least 10 times heavier than his spear.

Jiang Chu laughed and said: Marshal Yue, you are truly rich. This Air Mixed Lance is a high-grade treasure and it is extremely precious. It weighs one thousand and three hundred kilograms.

Yue Fei was overjoyed upon hearing this. If it was really as heavy as a thousand kilograms, even if he danced like a tiger or a gale, his speed would still be reduced.

A wave of Genuine Qi s poured into the spear’s body, and the spear tip instantly emitted a white light that was over ten meters in length. It immediately became a lot lighter, around three to four hundred kilograms. This weight was just right for Yue Fei.

Actually, Yue Fei had used it when he was young. Back then, his cultivation was still low and after he entered the Heaven Perfection Stage, his hands had become slightly weak.

Although the Magic Treasure couldn’t change size like the Spirit Weapon, it could adjust its weight according to the user’s cultivation. The stronger the Genuine Qi, the lighter the weight.

For example, if Yue Yun were to use this Air Mixed Lance, its weight would be at least six to seven hundred kilograms. Although it could be used, it would be very taxing. If it was a Mortal Realm warrior, they would weigh at least a thousand pounds if they transferred the Genuine Qi into it, let alone use it.

On the other hand, if it was a Divine Yuan realm expert or above, the weight of the spear would not be a problem at all. One could control it with just spiritual will and kill from a thousand miles away.

After obtaining this great treasure, Yue Fei felt even more respect for Jiang Chu. He knew the value of a magical equipment, which was his Leap Spring Spear. It was simply a Medium Grade Magic Tool, and it took him a great amount of effort to obtain it. Yue Fei never dared to imagine that he could obtain a treasure.

With the precious spear in hand, Yue Fei became even more proud and immediately gave the order: All soldiers listen up! Wang Lin, bring a hundred cavalrymen to ambush on the southern shore of the canal. At the command of Niu Tong, you will lead two hundred cavalrymen to ambush them two miles east of the north shore of the canal. Li Qiang, you will lead two hundred cavalrymen to ambush us two miles west of the northern shore of the canal. The rest of the personal guards, listen up. When the troops attack, light the two thousand torches you have prepared without mistake.

Four hours later, the sky darkened and the sound of horse hooves came from the distance. Smoke and dust rose from all directions. There were over ten thousand men and there was no end. The troop of over ten thousand people was truly impressive.

Jiang Chu stood about 200 meters to the southeast of the bridge. He had to wait for the golden army to cross the bridge and activate the Divine Lightning Formation. Seeing that the army was here, Jiang Chu became nervous, this was an army of over ten thousand people, one misstep might cause him, and his few hundred people would have to come here.

The troops of the Golden Soldiers were organized and had already started crossing the bridge. At this time, it was already late. It seemed like they were going to rush over to Zhu Xian Town to set up camp.
