Chapter 1540: A game of chess (2)


    . good-for. nothing … Xu Eng grumbled in his heart.


    Miao Youfang, on the other hand, was not familiar with Lina, so he did not participate in the criticism. Otherwise, with his low-level desire to survive, he could have already started a rap about Lina around Mose.


    “What’s a Daoist?”


    While mo sang turned to look at Xu Eng, Miao Youfang used his huajin ability to secretly change the chess piece.


    Mose listened to his chest, gathered his tongue, and spat out like a Buddhist mantra, “”The flying Sparrow!”


    “What?”


    Xu Eng raised his head in shock.


    Miao Youfang stared at mo sang with a dumbfounded expression.


    Mose was very satisfied with their dumbfounded expressions. He raised his chest and said, ”


    “Lina has been in Jianghu for half a year. She’s deeply loved by you central insmen and is known as the swordswoman in the swallow.”<div>


    As expected of a schr, Xu cijiu’s expression remained the same as he slowly said, ”


    “Who told you that?”


    “Leena said it herself.” Mose answered.


    Miao Youfang was just about to expose him when he saw Xu Eng giving him a look. He sent a voice transmission to ask, ”


    “What’s wrong?”


    Xu cijiu had yet to master the technique of telepathy, so he only shook his head slightly.


    She got it. Eng meant to wait for Mose to publicize it beforeughing at him. It wasn’t the right time yet, and the excitement wasn’t big enough … Miao Youfang didn’t follow Xu Qi ‘an in vain.


    He suddenly thought of the Saint.


    I’ll tell him after the battle, or it’ll affect his fighting spirit and morale … Xu Eng thought.


    At this moment, the roars of the ck-scaled flying beasts could be heard, followed by the sound of the wind. The three people in the Barbican knew that the flying beast Army hadnded on the top of the city wall.


    A momentter, hurried footsteps came closer, a heart Gu master wearing rattan armor rushed in and spoke to mo sang in the southern bordernguage.


    Miao Youfang and Xu Eng looked at mo sang. Thetter jumped up and said in the officialnguage of the Central ins, which was bing more and more fluent, ”


    “The rebel army ten li away has met up with the reinforcements and is heading this way.”


    ………..


    Guo County.


    The Qingzhou Army stationed in Dongling city had engaged in a battle with the Yunzhou rebel army for half a month. After losing 60% of their soldiers, they finally could not hold on any longer and retreated from Dongling’s territory. They were stationed in the nearby Guo County to rest.


    Their enemies were the two elite armies of “ck armor” and “green python” led by Ji Xuan, as well as 3000 misceneous troops.


    The ck armored Army was made up of six hundred heavy cavalrymen and two thousand three hundred light cavalrymen.


    The green pythons had 4000 elite infantry, equipped with 80 cannons, 30 ballistae, and 2000 handguns and crossbows.<div>


    Such a well-equipped and brave army was naturally not something the Qingzhou Army couldpete with.


    Even though sun Xuanji had brought arge number of firearms and equipment before he went to Qingzhou, it had been proven that thebat power of the Army of the Qingzhou Garrison was far inferior to that of the elite troops of Yunzhou.


    The Qingzhou Army was not the trump card of the DA Feng Army, but they were facing one of the elite troops of the rebel army.


    In terms of mid-levelbat power, the troops guarding the eastern tomb were still inferior to the elite troops led by Ji Xuan.<div>


    The only one who could turn the situation around was sun Xuanji, a third-grade Warlock.


    It was true that a magician’s individualbat power was far inferior to a martial arts practitioner of the same rank. However, in terms of destructive power, no one would dare to im to be the best if a magician imed to be second in the third stage realm.


    The white-haired protector Yuan walked on the city wall and said to everyone he met, ”


    The thousand demon Kingdom has been rebuilt.


    The Dongling Army had long been familiar with this goblin ally. They both loved and hated him. What they loved was his rank-4bat strength. He was a reliablerade.


    What he hated was that thisrade of his would “stab” him at any time.


    This morning, the news of the southern Demon country’s restoration was sent back to Qingzhou. Protector Yuan was ecstatic. He stood on the city wall and cried out to the sky, expressing his joy.


    Then, he would tell everyone he met about this.


    congrattions, congrattions. The thousand demon Kingdom is a good ally of my Da Feng.


    A Centurion looked at protector Yuan, who was approaching, and revealed a warm smile.


    Protector Yuan looked at him unhappily and said, ”


    “Your heart is telling me,’is this damned monkey done yet?''”


    “………”The centurion’s face suddenly turned red. He did not know whether to exin or pretend that he did not hear anything. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to leave his post.<div>


    Fortunately, protector Yuan did not make things difficult for him. He tactfully walked away and announced the good news to the other guards he knew.


    “AI!”


    The centurion looked at protector Yuan’s back and sighed.


    He didn’t know if Guo County could hold on and how long it couldst. There was no time to collect the bones of the brothers who died in the field.


    At this moment, a loud noise came from the sky, and a red light exploded in the sky.


    This was the signal of an enemy attack, and the person who sent the signal was sun Xuanji, who was in the floating Fort above Guo Xian, using his aura observation technique to alert the enemy.


    …………


    Wan County.


    Wan County had been under siege for a month.


    During this period, the rebel army attacked the city dozens of times on and off. The chief administrator of Qingzhou sent troops and generals, and sent troops to support many times, but they were all eaten up by the Yunzhou Army.


    Only when the flying beast Army of the heart Gu tribe arrived did the situation turn around.


    However, for the guards stationed in Wan County, fatigue was deep in their bones. Even the most warlike people longed to end this struggle as soon as possible.


    For Zhang Shen, a master of military tactics who had lived in seclusion for more than 20 years, it was a great humiliation to be forced into such a predicament in his first battle.<div>


    Even though he was isted and without help, he had managed to keep the county Governor until now, and he lived up to his reputation.


    Zhang Shen climbed to the top of the city wall and looked around. The city wall was full of holes, scorch marks, and cracks left by the cannonballs. In some ces, there was even a gap. The parapet waspletely destroyed, like a person whose teeth had been broken.


    More than half of the defending Army had been killed or injured, and more than half of the militia had been killed or injured.


    The dark clouds of war loomed over the small city.


    In the blue sky, a giant beast pped its wings and flew toward Wan County.


    The giant beast glided andnded on the city wall, the heart Gu master on its back said to Zhang Shen: ”


    “There’s arge number of enemy troops approaching thirty li to the South.”


    The flying beast Army came to the rear to assist. Zhang Shen, who had taken some time to learn the Nanjiangnguage for a few days, nodded with a solemn expression. He said in a fluent Nanjiang ent, ”


    “I understand.”


    He turned to the side and looked to the South, saying slowly, ”


    “I can see thirty miles.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, his vision underwent an earth-shaking change. The surrounding scenery disappeared, and his vision was infinitely pulled away, all the way to thirty miles away.


    In his line of sight, he could see an endless Army of enemies slowly approaching with their banners and banners.<div>


    The g fluttered in the wind and unfurled, revealing a “Qi” character.


    Zhang Shen chuckled and retracted his gaze. He muttered to himself in a low voice, ”


    “Soldier against soldier, general against general. That bastard has finallye.”


    ………..


    Dongling city.


    Xu Pingfeng, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, held a pot of wine in his hand. He stepped into the sky and arrived above the sea of clouds.


    The golden light followed closely and turned into the Buddha of the Gxia tree, standing beside Xu Pingfeng.


    Opposite the two, a white-haired, white-clothed, and white-bearded supervisor had been waiting for a long time.


    “Teacher Jian Zheng.”


    Xu Pingfeng flew between the two parties and sat on the ground in the sea of clouds. He waved his sleeve, and a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces appeared in front of him.


    “I remember that when I was learning from you, we would y a game of chess every three days. I have never won.”


    Xu Pingfeng’s tone was calm, and he said in a sentimental tone, ”


    “I’ve been away from the capital for twenty years, and we’ve never seen each other. We haven’t yed chess in twenty years. Teacher Jian Zheng, can you apany this disciple for the next round?”
