Chapter 464 Jia Xu Arrives
"If you need anything when you go to Qianyuan County, you might as well go to Hongyun."
"He might be able to lend you a hand."
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhen Yuanzi vanished from the stone table, leaving only two cups of fragrant tea.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go to Hongyun if there is a real need."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianzhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently patted Zhen Yuanzi's shoulder and smiled.
Afterwards, the two talked about their experiences in recent years and their new insights into martial arts.
The aroma of tea, accompanied by their conversation, drifted gently in the warm breeze of Dongning Pass, adding a touch of warmth and harmony to this ancient pavilion.
Finally, the topic gradually shifted to the impending farewell.
"My old friend, I should continue on my way."
Wang Xianzhi stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on the distance, towards Qianyuan County, the path he was about to embark on.
Take care, my old friend. May everything go well for you in Qian Yuan County. Until we meet again, we can share a good drink.
Zhen Yuanzi also stood up, and their eyes met in the air. No words were needed; their deep affection was already conveyed without being spoken.
Wang Xianzhi smiled slightly, cupped his hands in farewell, then turned and stepped onto the ancient road leading to Qianyuan County.
Zhen Yuanzi watched Wang Xianzhi depart until his figure disappeared at the end of the ancient road.
He sighed softly, turned around and went back into the pavilion, sat down again, and picked up the warm teacup in his hand once more. The aroma of the tea was still there, but his state of mind was different.
...
At this time, Qianyuan County was no longer the peaceful place it once was. It was a melting pot of all sorts of people, with undercurrents surging and various forces moving about like ghosts, all hoping to find a glimmer of hope in the storm that was about to unfold.
As night fell and the moon cast a hazy shadow, a veil of mystery draped over the heartland of the Great Qian Dynasty, adding to the sense of impending storm.
Jia Xu, dressed in a blue robe, had a calm and composed face, but his eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
His arrival undoubtedly added the most crucial element to the impending upheaval.
Surrounding him were a dozen or so assassins with the "Kill" designation. These were all elites carefully selected from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), each with extraordinary skills and a murderous aura, yet they could conceal their figures in this chaotic world, like ghosts.
They followed closely behind Jia Xu, their steps light and silent, like a shadow in the night, quietly blending into the darkness of Qianyuan County.
Jia Xu's purpose in this trip was clear: to coordinate with Yao Guangxiao, who was far away in Qizhou, and together weave a net large enough to trap the emperor.
Although the two are separated by thousands of miles, they are of one mind and have refined their plan down to every detail through secret correspondence.
Yao Guangxiao's letter was full of wisdom, revealing not only his accurate prediction of the Emperor of Daqian's actions, but also his resourcefulness in turning the tide of events.
Jia Xu was the executor of this strategy.
He knew that this battle was no small matter, as it not only concerned the expansion of his lord Su Ye's forces, but also the future of the world and was a game of chance for the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Therefore, every step must be taken with caution, and no mistakes should be made.
In a secluded residence in Qianyuan County, Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao discussed their final plans through a secret messenger.
"Guangxiao's plan is ingenious. However, it must be implemented with utmost care, without the slightest mistake."
The flickering candlelight illuminated the solemn expressions of the two men, and Jia Xu spoke softly.
"Wenhe, the opportunity is fleeting. We must be like cheetahs, waiting for the right moment to strike and strike with deadly precision."
"The Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had a very high opinion of himself, and this water attack was precisely where he met his end."
In his reply, Yao Guangxiao's words were even sharper, like the edge of a knife.
As planned, Jia Xu began to mobilize the elite forces within the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), who, like ghosts in the night, silently infiltrated every corner of Qian Yuan County.
These assassins are all highly trained and exceptionally skilled. They hide in the streets or in the mountains, waiting for the decisive moment to arrive.
At the same time, Jia Xu also specially arranged for a group of people skilled in water who were proficient in diving to submerge underwater at the moment of the attack and silently sabotage the ships of the Daqian army, making it impossible for them to retreat.
This was enough to plunge the Emperor of Daqian into a desperate situation from which he could not extricate himself.
Amidst this tense planning, Jia Xu also kept an eye on the "strong reinforcements" mentioned by Su Ye.
He knew that while the power of the net alone was enough to stir up trouble, to ensure absolute success, he still needed to rely on external forces.
Therefore, he maintained close contact with Su Ye at all times, waiting for the arrival of that power that could overturn the world.
The night sky over Qianyuan County was filled with twinkling stars, seemingly foreshadowing an impending transformation.
Standing atop the mansion, Jia Xu gazed upon this ancient land, soon to be reborn, and a surge of indescribable pride and ambition welled up within him.
To secretly plot and send off a dynasty's ruler to his funeral is one of the pinnacle achievements of a strategist.
"When the powerful reinforcements you spoke of arrive, that will be the time for us to act."
Jia Xu silently recited to himself, a hint of coldness in his eyes: This battle would be the key to changing the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall structure, and overall dynamics).
And he will personally write this chapter of history.
At this time, teahouses, taverns, markets, and even every narrow alley in Qianyuan County became the stage for Jia Xu's schemes.
He dispatched his elite troops to secretly investigate the movements of the Daqian army. At the same time, he also collected intelligence on the major families and forces in Qianyuan County and even Qianzhou, striving to know himself and his enemy so that he could win every battle.
Jia Xu understood that to win this game, he needed to have enough information, and every detail could be the key to victory or defeat.
At the same time, Jia Xu also began to secretly contact local powerful figures and reclusive masters who were dissatisfied with the Emperor of Daqian. He used interests as a bond and made important promises to win them over to his camp.
In this game of power, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends; only shared interests can bind people's hearts together.
Jia Xu skillfully wove a vast network of relationships, making final preparations for the impending storm.
In chaotic times, heroes emerge in great numbers, but it is also a stage for schemers. And he is the mastermind who hides behind the scenes and controls the whole situation.
The raging floodwaters are now ravaging Qianyuan County like a ferocious beast, leaving the county in chaos and filled with cries of agony.
On this very day, the Imperial Yellow Dragon Ship led a massive fleet down the river from the summit of Feihong Peak, like a yellow dragon emerging from the sea, with overwhelming momentum, as it slaughtered the remaining Yellow Turban Army and the private armies of various powerful families within Qianyuan County.
However, behind this seemingly glorious conquest lies a far deeper undercurrent.
Within Qianyuan County, various forces are stirring with ambition. Whether openly or covertly, righteous or wicked, they all harbor their own motives.
But at this moment, they are temporarily gathered together because of a common enemy—Emperor Si Xiaofei of the Great Qian Dynasty.
