Chapter 792 Filial Piety Returns to Meng!
With Yuan Hong's defeat and death, the Yuan family and the remaining forces of those powerful clans were also wiped out by the Flying Tiger Cavalry.
On the battlefield, the Flying Tiger Cavalry soldiers were as fierce as dragons and tigers, unstoppable. Shouts and the sound of hooves mingled together, forming a triumphant song.
After the battle, Qiao Shefei slowly descended from the high ground, his body covered in purple armor, carrying the Doomsday Twin Blades in both hands, followed by his Purple Nether Team, walking towards Li Cunxiao through the dust of the battlefield.
Li Cunxiao stood in the center of the battlefield, his body stained with the blood of the enemy, but his eyes remained bright and piercing, gleaming with fighting spirit and heroism.
"Captain Qiao, we owe this battle to your support; otherwise, our Flying Tigers would not have been able to complete the mission so quickly."
Li Cunxiao cupped his hands and bowed to Qiao Shefei.
Although Qiao Shefei and the Ziming team were just watching from the rear this time, they had previously been locating Yuan Hong and his group all over Luzhou.
Qiao Shefei utilized the Yellow Turban Army's intelligence network—the Taiping Messenger—which spanned the entire Luzhou region, and cooperated closely with the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), saving Li Cunxiao and his men a great deal of trouble.
Therefore, although Qiao Shefei and the Zi Ming team were of little use in this battle, Li Cunxiao did not mind.
Furthermore, even if Qiao Shefei and the others were willing to help, it would depend on whether Li Cunxiao agreed.
For Li Cunxiao, this was the first task assigned to him by his prince, and he naturally wanted to do it perfectly and give Su Ye a satisfactory answer.
"General Li, you are too kind. The fighting power of the General and the Flying Tiger Cavalry under your command has truly broadened my horizons."
"Yuan Hong was known throughout the world as a god of war with unparalleled martial prowess, but unexpectedly, he couldn't last more than a few rounds against the general."
Qiao Shefei gave a wry smile, cupped his hands in greeting to Li Cunxiao, and after truly witnessing Li Cunxiao's inhuman martial prowess, he dared not be as casual as he had been at the beginning.
"General Li, this is a new order from the Luo Wang intelligence organization, personally issued by the Duke of Zhenguo."
After chatting for a while, Qiao Shefei's expression suddenly turned serious. He took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao took the secret letter, read it carefully, and frowned slightly.
The secret letter stated that after this battle, he would temporarily serve under Meng Zhang, as a major war that would soon sweep across the entire Great Qian Dynasty would require his services.
"What are your plans, Your Highness?"
Li Cunxiao looked up at Qiao Shefei, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"How could we, as his subordinates, possibly fathom the thoughts of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"However, since the lord has made such arrangements, there must be a reason for it. General Li has made outstanding contributions in this battle, and the lord has high hopes for you."
Qiao Shefei sighed and said in a deep voice.
Li Cunxiao nodded, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.
A great battle is great!
With a major battle, he wouldn't have to go back to Hengzhou and be bored like before.
For the inexperienced Li Cunxiao, nothing was more exhilarating than personally participating in the battlefield and creating history with his own hands.
He carries His Highness's expectations on his shoulders. This great war, which is about to sweep across the entire Great Qian Dynasty, is the best stage for him to prove his strength and help His Highness conquer the world!
"Captain Joe, it looks like we'll be fighting side by side again."
After reading the secret letter, a hint of excitement flashed in Li Cunxiao's eyes. He then looked up at Qiao Shefei and smiled.
"Of course, since Lord Zhenguo has made this arrangement, we will do our best."
"Furthermore, with General Li here, I believe that in this great battle, no one will be able to defeat you!"
Qiao Shefei smiled and nodded, speaking softly.
With a formidable teammate like Li Cunxiao, Qiao Shefei was naturally more than willing.
Putting everything else aside, just standing next to Li Cunxiao on the battlefield gives you a strong sense of security, doesn't it?
"Captain Qiao is too kind to me. This great battle requires the joint efforts of all of us."
"Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army under Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang is renowned throughout the world, invincible in every battle. This great war is destined to be your home ground."
Li Cunxiao laughed and waved his hand.
When Qiao Shefei heard Li Cunxiao mention his own commander-in-chief Meng Zhang, a hint of respect flashed in his eyes as well.
As a personal guard promoted by Meng Zhang, he was naturally aware of Meng Zhang's strength as commander-in-chief and also understood the fighting power of the Yellow Turban Army.
He felt extremely gratified that Li Cunxiao valued them so much.
"We will not disappoint General Li. Although we, the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou, are of humble origin, we are all men of iron will, and we swear to serve Lord Zhenguo to the death."
"We will go all out in this great battle and will never let you down."
Qiao Shefei paused for a moment, then said firmly.
"With Captain Qiao's words of reassurance, I'm relieved. Alright, let's not say any more. Now that the battle is over, let's return to Luzhou City and report back to Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang."
Li Cunxiao nodded without saying anything more.
He had only heard about Meng Zhang from other people, and it was hard to say how much he respected him.
Whether it's true or false, Li Cunxiao will verify it with his own eyes.
Qiao Shefei nodded, hesitated, but ultimately did not continue to express his admiration for Commander Meng Zhang to Li Cunxiao.
The two led their respective teams toward Luzhou City.
...
Meanwhile, in the main camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, two Yellow Turban camps, stretching for dozens of miles, resembled two winding dragons, coiling on this vast land.
The camp was densely packed with tents and fluttering flags. The Yellow Turban soldiers, a dark mass, were either training or resting, in an orderly and imposing manner.
In the center of this camp stands a magnificent tent, its interior decorated simply yet solemnly. In the center is a huge sand table, on which the geographical features of the Great Qian Dynasty are marked in detail.
At this moment, in the central tent of the Yellow Turban Army's main camp in Luzhou, Meng Zhang, the legendary figure who "Longxiang Commander-in-Chief" and who controlled hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in Luzhou and even influenced millions of Yellow Turban men and women, was sitting in front of the sand table, carefully examining every detail.
The flickering candlelight inside the tent illuminated his resolute face, making him appear exceptionally calm.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, the candlelight flickered, and Meng Zhang keenly sensed something unusual.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Meng Zhang whispered, his eyes instantly becoming sharp as an eagle's as he looked into the darkness and caught sight of a hidden shadow.
As his shout fell, a figure trembled slightly in the candlelight, and then slowly appeared before Meng Zhang.
The newcomer was dressed in black, his face hidden under a hood, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light. He was none other than Yan Ri, a top assassin from the Luo Wang organization.
He was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected that Meng Zhang would detect him so easily, given his status as one of the best in the Luo Wang organization. What shocked him even more was the immense pressure Meng Zhang exuded, which he felt was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
