Martial Emperor of Couching Phoenix - C351 Disturbance becomes reality
While Zhao Mingzhe was thinking about this, thousands of barbarian riders had already charged forward, forming an interception formation!
Frowning, Zhao Mingzhe threw the disturbing matter out of his mind for the moment and roared:
“Follow me and kill your way out!”
Zhao Shenglong immediately shouted:
“Attack in formation, kill!”
“Gale, Gale!”
Over thirty veterans drew their blades one by one, and followed Zhao Mingzhe who was leading the charge with a murderous look on their faces.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
The group of barbarian soldiers started with a dense rain of arrows.
Zhao Mingzhe’s sword-like eyebrows slanted and the water-repelling spear released a dazzling rainbow colored light. A few lances gathered at its sides, preventing his from entering.
The incoming arrows were all sent flying by the water-repelling spear s. Before the barbarian cavalry could throw their spears, Zhao Mingzhe had already charged into the formation!
Just as the barbarian cavalry were preparing for Zhao Mingzhe’s long spear, the sound of a sword being unsheathed came out.
Before the barbarian cavalrymen could react, dazzling sword lights flashed and countless ice blades struck their faces.
The blood strings flew in the air. There were no less than six barbarian cavalry soldiers. Their heads were directly beheaded by the sword Qi. The number of cavalrymen and war horses being attacked by the ice blades was beyond measure.
“Break!”
With a loud bellow, the long sword in Zhao Mingzhe’s hand had long returned back to its scabbard. The water-repelling spear thrusted forward and sent a tall horse and its riders flying into the midst of the barbarian formation.
Facing Zhao Mingzhe who was like a God of Death, the barbarian cavalry soldiers who were in charge of surrounding him were instantly thrown into chaos. Zhao Shenglong and Zheng Qiuyue, along with their thirty odd veterans, had already rushed over.
Under Zhao Mingzhe’s lead, more than thirty people, like autumn leaves being swept away in the wind, broke through the interception.
Zhao Mingzhe who had chosen to cut off the rear swept his water-repelling spear towards the ground with both of his arms.
A violent force surged out. With a “boom”, a crater that was dozens of feet deep appeared on the ground. The barbarian cavalrymen that were chasing after them were forced to stop their horses and take a detour from another direction.
In this short span of time, Zhao Mingzhe had already brought Zhao Shenglong and the others and gradually disappeared into the distance.
The thirty odd people changed their horses and moved forward. With Zhao Mingzhe and Xiao Meng, they seemed to have perfectly avoided all the other barricades, and after four hours, the more than two thousand Great Mo Nation cavalry, which Zhao Shenglong had arranged beforehand, came to reinforce the old general.
Seeing Zhao Mingzhe, Old General Gong was also pleasantly surprised, but he knew that the current situation was not safe. Without enough time to say anything, everyone gathered together and rushed towards the borders of Great Mo Nation.
While hurrying along, Zhao Mingzhe kept on thinking about things in his heart and faintly understood that, in Red Mountain Fury Sea, because there was no pattern between day and night, and adding on the black mist and the effects of the maze, it was completely normal for him to not know when it would happen. He clearly felt that it would only be for one or two months, but in reality, it was already half a year later.
However, a month or two wasn’t too different from half a year ago. It was just that in that time, what important matter had happened to the Great Mo Nation?
After walking for another two hours or so, they were getting closer and closer to the territory of Great Mo Nation.
Zhao Mingzhe could not help but turn to Zhao Shenglong and ask:
“Sheng Long, tell me, in this half a year, did something happen to Su Xie?”
Zhao Shenglong’s face instantly became somewhat gloomy.
Just three months after you left for the Red Mountain Fury Sea alone, I was worried about your safety and wanted to look for you. However, King Su Xie had actually sent an order for me to not go. In a fit of rage, I returned to the capital and personally went to meet the king. However, this meeting greatly surprised me. “Not only is the King extremely thin, but his entire body is devoid of vitality, as if he could collapse at any time.”
A cold light flashed across Zhao Mingzhe’s eyes. He thought to himself in shock, could it be that Su Xie’s worry-free grass, his addiction, had returned again?
At this time, Zhao Shenglong had already continued:
“After we meet, I still request to go to Red Mountain Fury Sea to find you. However, the King strictly ordered me to guard the northwest defensive line and not to take even half a step out, and he also said that this was what you had told me before you left for Red Mountain Fury Sea. I had no choice but to return here. However, about two months after I returned, I suddenly heard that the King was gravely ill and not only was his body unable to move, even if I were to speak, he wouldn’t be able to do so! ”
Zhao Mingzhe frowned, he could not help but ask:
“Since Su Xie became like this, wouldn’t the Great Mo Nation be in chaos?”
“Sigh, it’s indeed a bit chaotic. The King suddenly became sick, and was no longer able to speak. Lu Lin, who was always by the King’s side said, before the King fainted from his serious illness, he personally ordered for the Queen Hua Banyuan to act as the supervisor! Queen Hua Banyuan controlled the entire imperial court with the support of Lu Lin and the Eastern Barbarian Tribe Dare. At the beginning, Great Mo Nation was considered stable, but recently, Hua Banyuan had repeatedly ordered the King to remove and imprison many generals, causing internal strife to gradually erupt. Helpless, I could only take the risk and go to Red Mountain Fury Sea to look for you, but fortunately, you managed to return safely.
Zhao Mingzhe was quiet for a moment, then shook his head.
“What’s going on here is definitely wrong. Did the news of Su Xie’s serious illness not spread in advance? ”
“A’Yue also said that this wasn’t right. I sent a few veteran soldiers to investigate the entire palace, but they were already under the control of Hua Banyuan and DalLi’s men, so I didn’t manage to find much useful information. They only heard that on the night that their King, Su Xie, was gravely ill, the three hundred personal guards of the King, together with more than two hundred Blood Cavalry spies, had mysteriously disappeared. As for Daoist Wu Chenzi, who had been accompanying the King, there was no news of him either, and the outcome was unknown even if he was alive or dead. ”
Zhao Mingzhe’s eyes became cold. He first took a few deep breaths, then forced himself to calm down.
“The news of Su Xie’s serious illness has probably already been known to the world. Right now, there might be countless plots against the Great Mo Nation, and these plans are gradually unfolding. I need to rush back to the Great Mo Nation Capital as soon as possible to find out what happened to Su Xie. Sheng Long, I shall leave this northwest defensive line of the Great Mo Nation in your hands! ”
“Don’t worry. As long as I don’t die, regardless of whether or not the barbarians attack me together, I will never let them step foot into Great Mo Nation.” It’s too dangerous for you to go back to the capital by yourself. I’ll let A’Yue bring some veterans to accompany you! ”
“No need. It’s enough for me to go back alone. Besides, you must also firmly believe that no matter the circumstances, Su Xie will forever be that mysterious dragon among men. I don’t believe that he doesn’t have a trace of plans for the future. Brother, the situation is urgent, so I’ll be leaving first! ”
With that, Zhao Mingzhe turned and headed straight towards the direction of the Great Mo Nation’s capital.
“Brother, have a safe trip!”
Hearing Zhao Shenglong’s shout, Zhao Mingzhe waved his hands, secretly thinking, it was impossible for them to have a pleasant journey, and once they return to the capital, the one that they would most likely face would definitely be a bloody storm …
