Chapter 178 Preparing to Support Lungmen Pass
Chapter 178 Preparing to Support Lungmen Pass
The moonlight, as clear as water, gently spilled into the courtyard of the governor's mansion.
Su Ye was leisurely lying on a specially made sandalwood recliner, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, and a touch of poetry welled up in his heart.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night. A figure dressed in a black bodysuit rushed in, carrying a sealed letter in his hand.
Su Ye frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Highness, an urgent message has arrived from the Luo Wang organization!"
Dressed in a fishnet outfit, Jing Ni silently approached Su Ye from behind and whispered.
A web of deception?
Su Ye's heart stirred.
The intelligence gathered by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) is usually collected together and handed over to him the next day.
But since it's urgent news...
Those must be war reports concerning the battles in various states.
Could it be that something big has happened again?
"Has the Yellow Turban Army made some big move again?"
He took the scroll and asked casually as he unrolled it.
Jingni shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Su Ye stopped talking and focused on reading the contents of the scroll.
However, as he read on, word by word, his expression gradually became serious.
The news on the scroll struck him like a bolt from the blue—his father's Nine Heavens Army, a small force in Wenzhou of Dayong, had been completely annihilated!
Even Ye Sui, the only publicly acknowledged war god of the Nine Heavens Army, was severely injured and went missing.
He carefully recalled every word on the scroll, trying to find some clues.
However, the contents of the scroll were very brief, only stating that the Nine Heavens Army was ambushed and besieged by the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army in Wenzhou, and was ultimately annihilated due to being outnumbered.
"Hoo, Jingni, send someone to inform Wenruo and Fengxiao."
"Have them come here."
Su Ye put down the intelligence report in his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Jingni nodded gently behind him, slowly walked out of the study, and closed the door behind her.
It then quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Before long, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and others rushed over.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw that Su Ye's face, which was always smiling, was now as long as a donkey's.
The two exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves: It seems this time something really serious has happened!
"My lord, why did you summon us in such a hurry?"
"Is there some urgent military situation?"
Guo Jia asked tentatively.
"See for yourselves!"
Su Ye glared at him irritably and casually tossed the scroll over.
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the others unfolded the scroll with suspicion, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.
They never expected that the Nine Heavens Army would suffer such a crushing defeat in Wenzhou.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Guo Jia exclaimed in surprise, "The Nine Heavens Army is the elite force of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"Indeed," Xun Yu echoed.
"Logically speaking, how could the current vassal kings of Dayong, who are preoccupied with their own troubles, possibly defeat the Nine Heavens Army led by the Jade Unicorn War God?"
Seeing the incredulous expressions on their faces, Su Ye felt a sense of comfort.
It seems he's not the only one who thinks this is outrageous!
"Now is not the time to be surprised; we need to come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"Does anyone have any suggestions?"
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the others exchanged glances and fell into deep thought.
"Didn't our lord prepare for this beforehand?"
"Just in case, has a force of 40,000 been dispatched to the border of Cang and Yun prefectures to stand by?"
Just then, Gao Ying chuckled and said.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the others' eyes lit up.
"Brilliant!"
"That army can now quickly reach Wenzhou to support the Jiuxiao Army."
Guo Jia slapped his thigh; he had just remembered.
"My lord, you may send this army out of Cangzhou to support Longmen Pass in Wenzhou."
"At the same time, sending another valiant general to oversee the situation will surely turn the tide of the battle and allow us to hold Wenzhou!"
Xun Yu nodded and smiled.
"Pass down the order: have the army on the Cang-Yun border immediately depart for Longmen Pass to provide support!"
Su Ye nodded, but then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right! Who do you think would be the most suitable person to send to oversee Longmen Pass?"
This question stumped Guo Jia and his team.
They racked their brains but couldn't come up with a suitable candidate.
The current number of War Gods in Cangzhou.
many!
But not many.
Wang Xiangyang definitely had to stay in Cangzhou to prevent any unforeseen changes from occurring on the battlefields.
Xuanwu, being Su Ye's personal guard, is even more so and cannot be moved lightly.
But being stationed at Longmen Pass is no small matter.
We need a valiant general.
"Oh, right! I've remembered someone!"
Just then, Guo Jia suddenly slapped his forehead and spoke up.
"Gentlemen,"
Guo Jia glanced mysteriously at everyone present, then paused deliberately before continuing, "I have observed the celestial phenomena and discovered that a war god will soon descend upon Longmen Pass to lend a helping hand to Cangzhou!"
These words immediately caused a moment of silence.
Xun Yu, Gao Ying, and the others all looked at Guo Jia.
What do you mean, kid? We don't know anything about you.
Observing celestial phenomena at night?
"Oh? What Fengxiao said is true?"
"Who is this war god?"
Su Ye couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"This man is none other than our newly arrived War God—Pei Yuanqing!"
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"Pei Yuanqing?"
Su Ye was taken aback, then realized what was happening.
Speaking of which, Pei Yuanqing listened to his father Pei Renji's instructions.
I have been in Cangzhou for some time now.
But there's nothing to do all the time.
"Exactly!"
"My lord, you truly have an excellent eye for talent!"
"Pei Yuanqing is incredibly brave and invincible, and a war god-level expert; he is the perfect candidate to guard Longmen Pass!"
Guo Jia nodded quickly.
"Fengxiao, you are mistaken! Although Pei Yuanqing is brave and invincible, he is, after all, a new general of ours and is not familiar with the situation at Longmen Pass."
"Moreover, he is still young and has enormous potential."
"The Dragon Lord on the other side is a renowned war god."
"If anything were to happen to him, it would be a serious matter!"
At this moment, Xun Yu couldn't help but interject.
"Wenruo is mistaken!"
"Although Pei Yuanqing is a newly arrived general, his abilities are undeniable!"
"Look at his physique and his imposing presence; he's far beyond what ordinary people can compare to."
"With another war god stationed at Longmen Pass, we will surely be able to intimidate the enemy and turn the tide of battle!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia immediately became anxious.
Su Ye couldn't help but chuckle at Guo Jia's excited expression.
He knew that Guo Jia was exaggerating in order to recommend Pei Yuanqing.
However, it must be admitted that although Pei Yuanqing is still young, he is indeed a true war god.
Moreover, he possessed superhuman strength.
This is a ruthless person who withstood three blows from Li Yuanba in his peak form.
"That's fine, even though Yuanqing is still young."
"But since Fengxiao so highly regards Yuanqing, let's send him to Longmen Pass to give him a try!"
He thought for a moment and decided to give Guo Jia face, and smiled.
