Chapter 533: Surprised
Lu Bu gritted his teeth.
He felt very unhappy about this happening.
He originally came here to show off his achievements, but now he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.
It was clearly his own credit, but someone else took advantage of it. How could he accept this?
Especially Cheng Yaojin was still standing there laughing.
This expression made him even more angry.
In almost an instant, he suddenly grabbed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.
The terrifying aura on his body was displayed vividly.
The moment Cheng Yaojin felt this momentum, his expression immediately restrained.
"General Lu, you and I are both ministers of Daqian. It doesn't matter who we recruit, right?"
He spoke with an embarrassed smile.
He could see that Lu Bu was almost ready to explode. If he continued like that, he was worried that Lu Bu would not be able to hold back and would smash his Fang Fang Tian Hua Ji at him.
At that time, he felt that he had no chance of withstanding Lu Bu's outburst.
After all, Lu Bu's strength is well known, and although he himself can be considered strong among the nine-rank national scholars.
But facing Lu Bu's attack, he felt that he might not be able to withstand even three moves.
For the sake of his own safety, he gave up the idea of continuing to ridicule Lu Bu.
Anyway, his goal has been achieved. Even though Lu Bu is very angry now, the real benefits have already fallen into his pocket.
As long as you don't mock Lu Bu directly in public.
Then he will be able to save face through this incident wherever he goes in the future.
It can even be said that this is a very important topic of conversation in his life.
Qin Qiong watched helplessly as this scene happened before his eyes.
This Cheng Yaojin, when there is nothing going on, he is the one who creates trouble.
Obviously, the matter could be resolved peacefully and there would be no conflict between the two sides, but he went ahead and directly mocked Lu Bu.
If it wasn't his own brother.
In this matter, he supported Lu Bu's use of the Heavenly Painted Halberd to defeat Cheng Yaojin.
However, in the current situation, he could only stand up to comfort Lu Bu and ease the relationship between the two, so as to prevent Lu Bu from really losing control and exploding and killing Cheng Yaojin.
By then, things will be serious.
After his repeated explanations, Lu Bu finally put away his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Yaojin was very wrong.
This made Cheng Yaojin look a little embarrassed and a little worried.
After he was finally a little further away from Lu Bu, he walked to Qin Qiong's side and said in a low voice:
"Old Qin, do you think that Lu Bu will chop me up with his Fang Tian Hua Ji?"
Hearing his words, Qin Qiong rolled his eyes and said:
"Now that you know why you offended him before."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, rubbed his palms together, and said:
"I just can't help it. It's so rare to get such an advantage. If I don't say it out loud, it will have a huge impact on my mood.
I may not be able to eat meat in the next six months. Can you bear to see me eat vegetarian food every day?"
For words like this.
Qin Qiong was directly immune to this. He just opened his mouth and said:
"Then you'd better hope that Lu Bu won't cause you trouble because of this matter, and don't bring it up again in the future. But even if he kills you at that time, I will have no reason to excuse you."
"understand."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled.
The situation here soon spread to the rear of the Dalong Dynasty.
The death of two powerful men above the ninth rank was a huge loss for the entire Dalong Dynasty.
It would not be an exaggeration to even say that it was a catastrophe.
When the border guards received the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The border guard looked at the scouts below and was not at all dissatisfied.
"If you say something like this that disturbs the morale of the army again, don't blame me for being polite to you."
After hearing this, the scout looked helpless, but still said:
"General, the intelligence on this matter has been confirmed. General Tianyuan and General Zifang have died in battle. It is unknown whether Ningshan is alive or dead, and we cannot make a decision.
But what is certain is that this annihilation war organized by General Tianyuan and General Zifang has probably completely failed."
His teeth were chattering as he said this.
Even the body felt a little scared.
He was a little worried that the border guard would kill him directly because of this incident.
Although he was telling the truth, this plan was not very good.
It wouldn't be surprising even if he was killed.
It was only out of loyalty that he suppressed his fear and told everyone everything.
After getting the confirmation, the border guard fell silent.
"You go down first. Don't tell anyone about this. I don't want the news to spread in the camp when I wake up tomorrow."
"Yes!"
The scout was pardoned.
Fortunately, General, I didn't vent my anger on him.
Otherwise he would be dead today.
After the scouts left, the border guard's entire body was shaking.
He felt extremely complicated and couldn't tell whether it was fear or something else.
Above the ninth level!
Such a powerful person simply did not exist in their Da Rong Dynasty at the beginning.
At that time, they knew that there were people above the ninth rank in the Great Qian Kingdom, and they were worried, so for a time they were full of fear towards the Great Qian Kingdom.
And when the Great Qian Kingdom attacked, their hearts were filled with fear.
Because the power of the Daqian Kingdom is far stronger than they imagined.
The Great Qian Kingdom has more than one powerful person above the ninth rank, which is an absolute crushing blow to their Dayong Dynasty.
Their only advantage is fighting on their own land, and their military force is much stronger than that of the Great Qian Kingdom.
So although they were worried, they did not have too much fear in their hearts.
As long as they can delay for a while, they may be the winner in the end.
Once the foundation of the dynasty is activated.
Truly strong men will appear in their dynasty, and by that time it would not be surprising if strong men above the ninth rank appeared.
If they succeed, they will be able to gain the power to confront the strong men of the Daqian Kingdom head-on.
Things went much more smoothly than they had imagined.
No one could have imagined that their Dayong Dynasty would suddenly have two powerful men above the ninth rank.
The entire dynasty was promoting it widely.
Because in everyone's eyes, they had two strong men above the ninth rank, plus they were fighting on home soil, and they had a huge army.
Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility that they will be defeated this time, and they may even be able to invade the Great Qian Kingdom once again to wash away the previous shame.
But now?
For the two ninth-rank masters, it can almost be said that they had just arrived at the battlefield and met the enemy for the first time.
He died just like that...
For a moment, he even doubted whether General Tianyuan and General Zifang were truly upper ninth-rank officials, or whether they were forged powerful figures created by Wang Chao to comfort them?
However, there is no point in saying these things at this time. Their biggest problem now is how to solve this matter.
Even those above the ninth rank were no match for Lu Bu.
How can he resist?
For a moment, he was completely confused.
However, he still sent the news to the capital of the Da Rong Dynasty as soon as possible.
Afterwards, he seemed a little dazed, and even his deployment of troops was a little absent-minded.
Because now he can't see any hope of winning.
Seven days later, just as he was thinking.
A scout ran over.
"General, the flag of the Great Qian Kingdom has appeared outside the city!"
The moment he heard this, the border guard stood up.
His expression was extremely solemn.
"Who is coming?"
Anyway, he has made up his mind not to leave the city.
Right here, holding the city should be able to delay the fight for a long time.
After all, they have holy weapons to defend the city, so even if the enemy wants to break through, it won't be that easy.
But if we leave the city, the sacred weapon for defending the city will lose its function.
"A flag with the Chinese character 'Lu' raised in the enemy's army. It can be confirmed to be the ghost god Lu Bu!"
At this moment, the guard's pupils shrank slightly.
"Ghost God Lu Bu..."
He muttered something to himself.
"It's not just that."
As if to provoke him, the scout continued:
"In addition, there are two more flags, which should belong to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin."
After hearing this, the guard trembled even more violently.
After almost this long, he already had a clearer understanding of the previous battles.
So we already know that it was Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin who intercepted Ning Shan.
At the same time, he also knew that their strength had reached the level of ninth-rank national scholars.
The moment he heard the news, he was completely stunned.
How can he be so virtuous?
He himself was just a seventh-rank national scholar, and he was promoted by relying on the foundation of the Da Rong Dynasty.
But what he is facing now is a ninth-rank warrior who can fight two at once and even kill them, as well as two ninth-rank national warriors with extremely powerful strength.
Even if there is a holy weapon to defend the city...
Can he really defend the city?
At this moment he was in doubt.
Soon, the army arrived.
Lu Bu, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin stood at the foot of the wall.
They looked at the opened city gate in front of them and looked at each other in surprise.
There was dissatisfaction in Lu Bu's eyes.
"These rubbish actually surrendered."
Cheng Yaojin complained:
"Is this not an empty city plan? Will we be surrounded as soon as we enter?"
But he didn't think so in his heart.
The reason is very simple. Once they are allowed into the city, the holy weapon for defending the city will not be so useful.
By then, relying on the power within the city, it will be impossible to stop the three of them.
So now this can only mean one thing.
That is, the defender of this city has indeed chosen to surrender.
Not only here, but wherever they went along the way, everyone chose to surrender, and there was almost no fighting.
At this time, the news finally reached the capital of the Dayong Dynasty.
The King of Dayong looked extremely ugly.
"My two ninth-rank and above people died so easily?"
There was deep disbelief in his eyes.
He is a strong man above the ninth rank, not an ordinary person.
How is it possible to die facing an enemy?
This really seems a bit ridiculous.
The joke he is facing now is happening in their Da Rong Dynasty.
This made his eyes go dark and he almost fainted.
The ministers below all had extremely grim expressions.
How could such a strong man die so easily?
"Could it be false news from the Great Qian Kingdom?"
someone asked.
The Prime Minister glanced at him, then said helplessly:
"Those are two ninth-rank masters. If they were still alive, the news would have been passed back anyway.
What's more, there are nearly a million troops. Now that something like this has happened, if no news has been sent back, it is enough to prove that it really happened."
As he said this, he looked up at the King of Dayong.
"Saint Lord, the most urgent task now is to obtain a trump card that can be used to fight against the Great Qian Kingdom."
"True card?"
The Lord of Da Rong had dull eyes and murmured:
"Why should we confront the Great Qian Kingdom?"
He has lost the will to fight now.
Because in his opinion, the Da Rong Dynasty had no chance of winning at all.
In this case, it is better to surrender early.
He even had thoughts of suicide.
The prime minister frowned and felt a little worried.
The King of Dayong is really too passive.
He had already guessed the current mood of the King of Da Rong.
But this absolutely cannot go on like this.
If this continues, the entire dynasty will perish.
He didn't want to become a vassal of the country.
"Holy Lord!"
He spoke loudly:
“We haven’t failed yet, although the death of the two Tianyuan and Zifang has a great impact on us.
But in fact our losses were not that great. For our entire dynasty, the loss of one million troops would not cause us any serious damage.
We still have the strength to fight against the Great Qian Kingdom.
The top priority now is to stabilize the military morale, especially to prevent those vassal states from choosing to surrender at this time.
And we now have foreign aid.
The envoy has been in Daxuan for a long time, and he should have brought back the news by now.
As long as we can gain the support of the Daxuan Dynasty, we will have the capital to compete with the Daqian Kingdom."
After hearing his words, King Damong finally regained his spirit.
There was some hope in his eyes.
"Yes, I haven't failed yet."
He certainly didn't want to be a king who lost his country.
Previously, the deaths of two people above the ninth rank were too much of a blow to him.
So he felt a little desperate for a while, but now that he saw hope, he would no longer be sad.
"Tell those vassal states that if any dynasty dares to disobey, then my Da Rong Dynasty will drag them down with it even if it means we perish together!"
There was a gleam of cruelty in the eyes of the King of Da Rong.
Even if he cannot defeat the Great Qian Kingdom, those vassal states will be in trouble if they dare to pretend to obey him.
Even if it meant the destruction of his own country, he would make those vassal states pay a sufficient price.
