Passion On Beauty Rather Than Power - C235

Shi Xuan used his divine power to disrupt the order of the mortal realm, causing death and injury to the mortals. After receiving three bolts of heavenly lightning, his body became injured and he temporarily escaped back to the underworld.

Shi Xuan closed the door, no one could be seen, the Neither Prison Officer seemed to be busy with other matters, and in the past few days, he did not find anything wrong with the Neither Monarch.

The other deities of the underworld would never find trouble with him even if they had nothing to do.

Only Mo Zhu had doubts in his heart, he did not know what Neither Monarch big brother was busy with. Mo Zhu kept a close eye on Shi Xuan for the past few days. As long as he went to the mortal realm, she would definitely follow him and pay attention to him.

On the other side, the Prince Zhan reorganized the army.

Prince Zhan clenched his fists in secret. He had reported in late at night, and it had been a tough journey.

Although the Prince Zhan led an army of eighty thousand soldiers, more than eight thousand of them lost their fighting strength along the way …

The Prince Zhan clenched his fists again, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll rush back to the border safe and sound.”

Although Zi Ye didn’t understand why Prince Zhan was so trusting, he should be very confident in his calm demeanor.

“I guess this battle will be a tough one.” Zi Ye thought silently in his heart, the Prince Zhan led the army and set off from Shangjing City. Their journey was arduous and dangerous, and their journey was tiring to the point where by the time they arrived at the border, most of their soldiers were already exhausted.

However, the border rebellion had started on the spot, and with the help of a few countries outside the country, the combined efforts of several forces had produced a great deal of results.

However, Prince Zhan was not trying to comfort Zi Ye. He was sure that the immortal who came to cause trouble was injured by the divine lightning and had gone back to cultivate.

They probably wouldn’t have the strength of heart to return in a short period of time. It would be enough time for them to rush to the border.

In the next few days, just as Prince Zhan had expected, the troops successfully made it to the border.

The Wen City had long been occupied by Xia Xiong. The Prince Zhan commanded his army to station themselves five kilometers away from the Wen City.

“Stop moving forward.” Stop moving forward. Hearing Prince Zhan’s orders, Zi Ye gave the order.

Prince Zhan chose a flat piece of land for the army. This piece of land was leaning against the lake, it was empty, there were no cover around, and it was not easy to be surrounded and ambushed by the enemy.

After the Prince Zhan set up camp, there were no further movements.

However, they could not sit still any longer. According to the reports of the spies, the Prince Zhan only had eighty thousand people at most, but they had a total of one hundred and twenty thousand people.

Wencheng was initially established under the leadership of the Prince Zhan, hence it was easy to defend, but hard to attack. As long as the Prince Zhan attacked, his army would suffer heavy casualties.

Within a month, the Prince Zhan would be defeated. Xia Xiong even hung Old General Wen’s head on the city wall, while the few loyal generals of the Prince Zhan hung their heads on both sides of Old General Wen.

Wen Guang watched from afar, his eyes red with anger, “Father, your son is unfilial, he did not protect you well. Your son vows, I will definitely take Xia Xiong’s head for myself, and avenge you!” After he finished speaking, Wen Guang knelt down with a “plop”, and kowtowed three times towards the direction of Old General Wen’s head.

Zi Ye couldn’t bear to watch and turned his head away, not looking at Wen Guang.

Wen Guang arranged his emotions and entered the Prince Zhan’s camp together with Zi Ye. He stood there respectfully, waiting for Prince Zhan’s orders.

Prince Zhan glanced at Wen Guang indifferently, and saw that Wen Guang’s eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

“Wen Guang, do you know why this duke did not immediately lead troops to attack Wencheng to avenge Old General Wen and those soldiers who died in grievance?”

Wen Guang held back, his voice hoarse. “Reporting to your highness, this subordinate does not know, but this subordinate knows, that your highness definitely has a foresight, this subordinate believes in your highness.”

“That’s right, Xia Xiong hung Old General Wen’s head high in the air. The reason he is doing this is to anger this king, then this city will definitely set up an ambush for this king. This king only has one word to say right now.”

“What word?” Zi Ye and Wen Guang asked at the same time.

“Wait.” The Prince Zhan said confidently, “Xia Xiong has always been impatient. In less than two days, Xia Xiong will definitely send troops over to test the waters.

Zi Ye and Wen Guang both silently nodded their heads.

Just as Zi Ye and Wen Guang were about to leave, the Prince Zhan suddenly said to Wen Guang without any reason, “Wen Guang, I, Xia Xiong, will definitely leave this to you.”

“Alright.” Wen Guang’s voice was hoarse and difficult to make out, but the word “good” carried a lot of weight.

Xia Xiong had been climbing the wall everyday since the Prince Zhan was stationed at the opposite side. Xia Xiong couldn’t understand why Prince Zhan was so calm and collected either, after his general was humiliated, why the Prince Zhan was able to sit so still.

“Everyone look, this Chu Xiuhan and that Nangong Waner have been whispering to each other everyday, and now they don’t even know how to fight, and don’t have the slightest temper to urinate, hahaha.” Xia Xiong was immensely proud as he laughed arrogantly to hide the nervousness in his heart.

However, the Wind Nation and Archduke did not know the truth, but they were happy for a while. When Prince Zhan died, they would take over Tian Sheng, and at that time, they would split Tian Sheng’s land.

“Then Beauty Fragrance will definitely marry me and become my concubine.” Wind Nation and Qi Nation’s king were just at odds with each other. Both of them had their own thoughts.

However, Xia Xiong never expected that Prince Zhan would have such a good mood. He would wake up early every day to go fishing by the lake, and after catching the fish, he would return to the army to exercise. Prince Zhan’s daily routine was very regular, as if… Prince Zhan brought eighty thousand troops for a vacation?

That’s right, even though the Prince Zhan Army had a large number of people, their food was especially good. Every time there was a meal time, there would be hundreds of thousands of pots set up in the training grounds.

The military’s heart was in chaos. Wencheng already had a shortage of supplies and had only rested for a short period of time under the governance of the Prince Zhan. After Xia Xiong took over, he massacred the city and the citizens no longer had the mood to produce.

He ate huge mouthfuls of meat on one side and furred vegetables on the other …

Xia Xiong couldn’t sit still any longer. He sent his men to kill his way out. He was trying to provoke a battle to end it as soon as possible.

However, Xia Xiong’s army had been completely annihilated the moment they charged over. Prince Zhan’s army bravely counterattacked Xia Xiong’s army.

After barely escaping from death, the Xia family’s troops threw away their armors and fled in the direction of Wencheng.

Zi Ye and Wen Guang’s eyes were red with killing intent, they led their troops and were about to give chase.

“Stop chasing and get some rest on the spot. It’s time for dinner, let’s eat.” Prince Zhan instructed lightly.

Zi Ye was puzzled. Why didn’t he take advantage of the victory to chase after him? Wen Guang, on the other hand, reacted first to Prince Zhan’s intention to drag Xia Xiong along, causing Xia Xiong to be unable to keep his cool first.

“Let’s go. It’s time to eat.” Wen Guang took the people and started to cook.

Zi Ye really felt that they weren’t here for war, but to sightsee and eat meat and drink wine.

Xia Xiong couldn’t sit still any longer. After a long time, the city’s morale would definitely drop. Xia Xiong paced back and forth before calling out the representatives of Wind Nation and Qi State to come together to discuss countermeasures.
