Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

0Hsu San had served in the Greedy Wolf Army for many years and was forced to retire as a bailiff who managed the order of the market due to the disability of his left leg. Although he was limited by his identity and did not have access to any high-level information, his many years of experience in the army still made him acutely sense the danger that was about to come.    

    

Something big was about to happen!    

    

Hsu San's heart could not help but accelerate. His blood, which had been silent for a long time, also faintly became hot. As an elite warrior who had shed his blood on the battlefield, even though he had been forced to retire for many years because of his disability, however, the blood that belonged to the warrior in Hsu San's heart still did not dissipate.    

    

Because of this, after receiving Yang Xuan's order, Hsu San did not refuse and accepted the task of reporting the news. He returned to the yamen to lead a fast horse and ran towards the military camp.    

    

The city square was not far from the military camp at the border, and it was an important place at the border. The post road was related to grain transport, so it was naturally important to take care of it. Based on Hsu San's estimations, it would only take half an hour at most to reach the camp if he rode at full speed.    

    

Unfortunately, things were destined not to go so smoothly.    

    

Not long after Hsu San left the market, he was stopped by a group of mysterious people in cloaks.    

    

In broad daylight, fifteen cloaked mysterious people held sharp blades in their hands. They stood on the road less than an hour away from the military camp fearlessly, even though Hsu San was just a soldier at the lowest level. But it's clear that it's not a coincidence.    

    

In such a short period of time since they met the woman in the market, this group of mysterious people were still able to stop Hsu San. This only showed that they knew everything that happened in the market like the back of their hands.    

    

This kind of terrifying information gathering ability was definitely not something that a mere outsider's scout of the Barbarian Clan could do.    

    

In other words, there was obviously a spy!    

    

Hsu San's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. He knew that this place could very well be his burial ground.    

    

But...    

    

No matter what, he had to spread this information!    

    

Hsu San reached into his pocket and grabbed the short knife that had accompanied him on the battlefield for ten years. He gently touched the familiar pattern on the handle of the knife, and when he looked up again, his face was filled with killing intent. How could he still see the sloppy look on the market?    

    

Profound Gate Pass, Zhou Fengmiao's tent.    

    

Zhou Fengmiao looked at the sand table on the ground that recorded the situation of the battlefield and sighed heavily. He rubbed his forehead with a slight headache.    

    

Xueling, who had been standing beside Zhou Fengmiao, saw his expression and asked, "Is the situation so serious that even you, a general who killed a hundred thousand Barbarian Clan soldiers, have to frown and sigh?"    

    

"It's more than serious!" Xueling was able to use his identity as the patriarch of the Giant Tribe to join the Barbarian War. He had been regarded as Zhou Fengmiao's confidant for many years. Therefore, Zhou Fengmiao did not hide his worries.    

    

"Northwest, southwest, southeast..." Zhou Fengmiao pointed to three directions outside the Profound Gate Pass on the sand table and said, "These three directions have completely become the territory of Barbarian Clan. Last time, Greed, Tiger Ben, and Fei Lian attacked the encampment of Barbarian Army. However, in less than half a month, Barbarian Clan set up camp here again. And their military strength is even stronger than before. "    

    

Xueling's expression became serious when he heard this, and he asked, "Is the news accurate?"    

    

Zhou Fengmiao smiled bitterly and said, "The one who sent this news back is the most elite spy of Greedy Wolf Army. He has been hiding in the Barbarian Clan for nearly eight years. He has sent back countless important pieces of information. No one is more reliable than him."    

    

"Then this will be a big problem!" Xueling frowned deeply, and his expression was a little ugly. There was an extremely important post road in the southeast of Profound Gate Pass, which was also one of the important channels to communicate with the outside world. The destruction of this post road had a huge impact on the Profound Gate Pass.    

    

"It would be great if General Ning Ziwei was still here." Xueling sighed. It was Ning Ziwei who led the Carduus Army to destroy the Barbarian Army and took back the post in the southeast.    

    

When Zhou Fengmiao heard this, the bitter expression on his face became even stronger. He said, "The State Hall has sent back the news that Ning Ziwei's injuries are extremely strange. Even the palace master can't heal his injuries quickly. He can only rely on time to recover."    

    

Xueling fell silent. Greed, Tiger Ben, and Fei Lian were the three sharp blades of the Profound Gate Pass. This was obviously because the soldiers of the three armies were all the cream of the crop, but more importantly... It was also because their commanders were very charming and had become the core of the army's spirit.    

    

It was precisely because of their commanders that the middle and upper echelons of the three armies were able to work together with all their might, causing the three armies to display shocking and powerful combat strength.    

    

For example, General Huben, Qi Yulong, had a rough personality and was incomparably fierce. The Tiger Army under his command was also extremely skilled in direct combat, even when facing the Barbarian Clan, whose physique was stronger than theirs. The Tiger Army led by Qi Yulong could still easily crush the Barbarian Army, which had the same number of people.    

    

However, if the Tiger Army lost Qi Yulong as their commander, perhaps the Tiger Army could still be considered as an elite army, but their combat strength would be reduced by half.    

    

The Greedy Wolf Army and the Flying Lian Army were the same.    

    

This was also the reason why the Carduus Army had not made any moves since Ning Ziwei was seriously injured and sent to State Hall.    

    

It was not that they were unwilling to move, but that they could not move.    

    

"Fortunately, Qi Yulong and Tan Lang are fine. Otherwise, we would have already lost half of the battle before it even began." After a long period of silence, Xueling finally said dryly.    

    

Zhou Fengmiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. He glared at Xueling and scolded with a smile, "Are you comforting me or cursing me?"    

    

"Uh..." Xueling also knew that what he said was not very good. He rubbed his nose awkwardly.    

    

However, after Xueling's interruption, the depressing atmosphere in the tent was much more relaxed. Zhou Fengmiao finally recovered his spirit.    

    

"Alright, the most important thing now is to choose a leader for Carduus Army. Not only does this leader need to have strong combat strength, but he also needs to have enough charisma and means to subdue the elites of the Carduus Army. At least, we need to make those elite warriors of the Carduus Army let go of their prejudices and cooperate with us."    

    

Speaking up to this point, Zhou Fengmiao's expression became a little distressed. He turned to Xueling and asked, "How is it, Xueling? Do you have any suitable candidates in Profound Gate Pass?"    

    

Xueling frowned and thought for a long time. Then he helplessly said, "I'm afraid there is no one else besides Yang Xuan."    

    

"Didn't we already tell Yang Xuan? Let's see his performance in this mission first." Zhou Fengmiao said helplessly, "Although I also prefer Yang Xuan, he is too young. Can he suppress those troublemakers from the Carduus Army? "    

    

"Xueling opened his mouth but could not say anything. Age was indeed Yang Xuan's weakness.    

    

Just as the two of them were silent, there was a faint noise coming from outside the tent.
