Chapter 502: Chapter 189: Eight Hundred Hongze Army, Heavy Snow Assaults the Enemy Camp_4

“After what happened in Yunzhou ten days ago,”

“I had pondered,”

“your collaboration with the Witch God Sect and the barbarians—do you truly not worry that they might grow stronger and eventually turn against you, against the rule of the Cao Family?”

“Suddenly,”

“I understood.”

“You are not worried!”

“Because…”

At this point,

Sun Xiangzong stopped, “Because of Liangzhou, and because of this dying man standing before you!”

“You know that no matter what happens,”

“in the end, it’s I and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Liangzhou who will clean up your mess!”

“Haha~”

“Putting everyone to their best use.”

“Cao Kai, you really are a qualified emperor.”

“In your eyes, everyone is just a piece on the board.”

“…”

Emperor Longqing’s expression grew dark.

He spoke slowly, “I have always regarded you as a brother…”

“A brother?”

Sun Xiangzong said disdainfully, “You think I don’t know how my younger brother died years ago? You sent him to escort the Crown Prince back to the Capital, and yet both of them mysteriously died.

“It was you!”

“Who had Wang Yonggui inform my younger brother to murder the Crown Prince!”

“Then to clear your own suspicion, you had my younger brother commit suicide!”

“Brotherhood in your eyes is worth nothing!”

“Today you came to my house,”

“feigning concern.”

“Merely to remind me that in my last moments I should handle the situation in the Luotian Mountain Range, otherwise my Sun family will be annihilated, right?!”

Cao Kai was silent.

After a long time, his gaze turned stern and majestic, the authority of an emperor emanating forth, “Sun Xiangzong, this is the duty you should fulfill as the governor of Beiliang Governor’s Mansion and as my servant.”

“Without your reminder, I would still handle the matters properly for the sake of the people of Liangzhou.”

Sun Xiangzong coldly spoke, “Tomorrow at dawn, you and I will enter the mountains together, there are still some mysteries to clarify, and you should exert some effort as well.”

“I naturally will go.”

Emperor Longqing agreed.

Losing the desire to stay any longer in the same room, Sun Xiangzong turned on his heels and pushed the door open to leave, “Sometimes I wonder if there are malevolent spirits hidden in that Dragon Chair, possessive ghosts that take over the sitter, turning them into someone unrecognizable to all.

“Hereafter, there’s no need to vainly call me brother.”

“My brother Cao Kai died long ago.”

…

At 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.,

Chen Sansi went to the master bedroom. Sister Lan had prepared a White Robe for him ahead of time. After dressing neatly, he stuffed the amulet into his chest and then slung a bow and arrows over his back, picked up a long spear, and belted the Zhenyue Sword at his waist. Lastly, he checked the Xuanzhu in his storage bag again.

Over this period of time,

the White Mystical Energy inside the Xuanzhu had automatically restored itself to the level of Hu Lao, and even stronger. When the time came, deploying the Heavenly Array would be a significant aid.

Before his return,

his fourth senior brother had tacitly helped to practice various formations in advance.

Chen Sansi also hadn’t been slacking, fully ready to use them at any moment.

Inside, there was also the clean energy left by Mr. Mei, still in a state unable to be activated, with no clue yet on how to use it.

“I’m off!”

At the door of the Governor Mansion,

Chen Sansi lifted his daughter from the horseback to the ground, gave her head a gentle pat, then spurred his horse and galloped away.

Upon arriving at the camp,

the soldiers of Hongze Camp were already assembled at the Martial Arts Arena.

After roll-call,

Chen Sansi began to select soldiers: “Chu Shixiong, Xia Cong, Meng Dingxin, each of you pick eight hundred Light Cavalry. Tonight, after dark, follow me into the Northern Desert towards Huqiu Mountain to probe the Enemy Army’s reality!”

“Understood!”

That night,

eight hundred Hongze Light Cavalry were ready at the Great Wall’s exit.

Sixth Prince Cao Huan, Supervisor Mr. Hou, Great General Lü Ji, and fourth senior brother Fang Qingyun personally came to see them off.

“General Chen!”

Cao Huan repeatedly instructed, “The main purpose of this sortie is to ascertain the reality, to understand the outside military deployment so we can arrange our subsequent strategy. Remember, the main purpose is exploration; should you encounter any issues, do not engage in unnecessary combat. You are among the foremost mighty generals of the Great Sheng Dynasty; any mishap would be a severe loss to the Beiliang Army.”

“This Hai Dongqing, which was trained not long ago, from now on belongs to General Chen.”

As he spoke, he extended his arm, offering an adult Hai Dongqing.

This Hai Dongqing, its entire plumage a beautiful mountain green and its eyes a deep blue, was particularly striking.

Chen Sansi now finally had his own “communication device,” no longer needing to borrow someone else’s.

He used the tip of his spear to prick his finger.

The Hai Dongqing immediately opened its mouth to drink the dripping blood.

This was the blood oath of recognition.

The training had been completed before it reached adulthood.

Upon adulthood, the Hai Dongqing would recognize its master through a blood oath.

If the master died, it would quickly carry the news of death and intelligence to another nearby general, completing its final duty before starving to death.

“From now on, I’ll call you Bluebird.”

Chen Sansi casually named it.

The Hai Dongqing cocked its head, seeming to earnestly memorize his face and the scent of its master, then flapped its wings, signifying that the recognition was complete.

“Depart!”

“Go!”

“…”

Eight hundred Light Cavalry took advantage of the night and left the city gate in succession, disappearing into the vast grassland desert.

After several days of exploration,

they had roughly figured out the deployment of the forces.

All-out war.

It wasn’t just referring to Liangzhou.

But to the Northwest Three States, plus the other two Northern states—a total of five states—going to war, including Yunzhou.

Fourteen Camps of troops would make corresponding arrangements based on the enemy’s troop deployment.
