The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1497: Waiting for reinforcements

Views:

The entire army heard Fang Yun’s shout, but Lu Menhou seemed not to hear it.

At this point, everyone knew why the three-headed barbarian king was not in a hurry to attack. It turned out that he was waiting for the other side to defeat the reinforcements and then the two sides would join forces to annihilate the Lumen Army and the Zhujiang Army together.

Marquis Lumen said to Xun Tianling beside him: "It seems that the barbarians have been preparing for many days. This battle is inevitable. I am Marquis Lumen, and I will live and die with the Lumen army. As for you, if your talents are exhausted, just leave. These barbarians know your identity and dare not kill you, otherwise what awaits them will be the extermination of their clan."

The three resting barbarian kings looked ferocious, but even Langdan, who usually liked to talk too much, did not refute.

Not to mention Xun Tianling, even if they were the descendants of a semi-saint family, they could only injure them but not kill them, and even prisoners would be sent back obediently.

"There are only defeated members of the Xun family, but no escaped Xun Tianling." Xun Tianling put his hands behind his back, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, not knowing whether it was because a powerful enemy was about to arrive or because he was dissatisfied with something.

"In that case, I will not persuade you any more. We will overcome this difficult time together, and I will definitely recommend you as the first person to do the work."

Xun Tianling suddenly spoke up, "I don't interfere in the internal affairs of Chu, nor do I want to offend your authority in the army. I just don't understand one thing. What's the purpose of bringing a Hanlin out and not letting him participate in the battle?"

"My authority in the army is not important, but I cannot disobey the king's orders." said Marquis Lumen.

"There are cities that are not attacked, land that is not fought for, and orders from the king that are not obeyed. This is what Sun Tzu said."

"I am not Sun Sheng, but just a small Marquis of Lumen."

Xun Tianling looked at the monster in front of him and remained silent.

Fang Yun looked at Xun Tianling. After all, the scholars of Shengyuan Continent were not wrong about Xun Tianling. They all said that he was the most loyal and righteous person in the Xun family. Even in the literary world, they could not hold back and stood on the side of justice.

Although nothing changed in the end, Fang Yun knew that Xun Tianling had done his best. The literary world has its own rules, and even the Kong family must abide by them. If Xun Tianling attempted to override the rules of the literary world, the entire Xun family would be affected.

Lu Menhou said: "Next, we can only break out as quickly as possible, relying entirely on Xun Daxueshi, I..."

Xun Tianling interrupted Lu Menhou and said, "I came to the literary world this time to practice. The victory or defeat of this battle has nothing to do with me. The Xun family has its own rules. I will not use the star position or the powerful Confucian treasures. Otherwise, I am here just to enjoy the scenery, not to practice."

Marquis Lumen was silent, and the officers and soldiers nearby were also silent.

Many generals in the Lumen Army were not afraid of these barbarians. Let alone three, even if there were five, they would not worry too much, because they had Xun Tianling, a genius from a sub-sage family, who would definitely bring the family treasures.

But now, Xun Tianling suddenly said that he wanted to give up using these.

Wei Changxian said humbly, "Master Xun, if it was many years ago, I might not have said anything. After all, in the eyes of you people from Shengyuan Continent, we in the literary world are not human beings, but just artificial creatures created by Confucius using the vitality of heaven and earth. We can't even leave the literary world. But now it's different. Under the shining of Wenqu Star, we can leave the literary world. In the near future, we will be no different from the human race! Now, do you want to watch the Lumen Army, who are also human beings, being slaughtered by the barbarians?"

"I don't want to see the Pearl River Army being massacred either." Xun Tianling's words made many Lumen Army generals change their expressions, and many Pearl River Army generals in the distance also changed their expressions.

Fang Yun suddenly sighed softly.

Even Xun Tianling saw it.

Wei Changxian was speechless.

Lu Menhou said: "Let's recover our talents as soon as possible."

Xun Tianling nodded, sat on the ground, took out something from the Yinjiangbei, and covered it with his sleeve to prevent outsiders from seeing it.

However, at the moment he took out that thing, the expressions of all the scholars changed.

"It should be... that thing, which can help the university scholar recover his talent quickly. He is worthy of being the heir of the sub-sage family." Fang Yun was thinking in his heart, and suddenly looked at Lu Menhou. There was an extra thing in Lu Menhou's sleeves.

Fang Yunyun instantly recognized the aura of the object. It was the Talent Jade left by Confucius, which could also help people recover their talent quickly.

The two men closed their eyes and silently recited the holy scriptures. The vital energy of heaven and earth immediately became turbulent, and soon a strong wind formed around them, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Soon, the two men stood up and put their treasures into the seashells.

Lumen Hou said: "Master Xun, victory or defeat depends on this one move."

"I will do my best." Xun Tianling said.

Everyone heard a sense of alienation in Xun Tianling's tone.

Wei Changxian turned his head and looked at Fang Yun, his eyes full of coldness. He secretly sent a message to Fang Yun: "You are all the same. Zhang Wankong is a traitor and caused the King of Chu to be ridiculed by the King of Qin. Today, you want to harm my Lumen Army again!"

Fang Yun didn't even look at Wei Changxian. He returned to the carriage and continued to recite the saints' scriptures in his mind, trying to get promoted to Grand Secretary as quickly as possible.

The two university scholars stepped forward, and the three barbarian kings came to meet them.

Lang Shan said with a smile: "Marquis Lumen, you really still care about your soldiers. You want to use the two of you to inflict heavy damage on us and then force us to leave. Unfortunately, even if you have the great scholar's treasure, you may not be able to kill us. Of course, if you use the great scholar's treasure to pretend to attack us, but actually want to kill our people behind us, then don't blame us for slaughtering ten times as many human beings to avenge you!"

"I am not a demon or a barbarian. I would never do such a thing. As you said, I just want to defeat the three of you. After all, I also want to protect the soldiers who are left behind."

"Very good." Langdan said.

The former general Wang Li shouted loudly: "Please fight quickly. After the two barbarian kings lead their troops to defeat the Qishan army, they will definitely injure or even kill the Qishan Marquis. If the two barbarian kings ignore their subordinates and rush over as quickly as possible after the victory, we will not have any chance."

As they walked, Marquis Lumen said, "They dare not. If the two barbarian kings leave, the barbarians under them will surely be annihilated by the nearby human army. The Qishan Army does not mind revenge. I think we still have a lot of time, enough for the King of Chu to send new reinforcements!"

Lu Menhou's words rekindled the soldiers' hope. After all, Chu was a big country. If the Lu Men Army and the Zhujiang Army were in trouble at the same time, the King of Chu would definitely send people to rescue them. Even if the manpower was urgent, at least two university scholars could be mobilized.

Lu Menhou and Xun Tianling started fighting with the three-headed barbarian king again. Within a radius of several miles, there were flashing poetic light, blood and energy flowing, and destructive power overflowing, so that the ground within a few miles was full of huge pits caused by war poems or blood and energy, and the entire ground continued to sink.

This battle was more intense than the previous ones.

The human soldiers and the barbarians on the opposite side kept retreating because they were often affected.

A quarter of an hour later, a sound like thunder came from the direction of Zhucheng.

"Reporting to Marquis Lumen, Marquis Qishan sent a letter saying that he successfully inflicted heavy damage on a barbarian king and fled back to Guangzhou City. He also added that two university scholars will soon be heading to where you are. Please hold your ground and wait for reinforcements!"
