Chapter 246: Chen Zhibao's death, the army marched south [two chapters in one]

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

“Boom boom boom boom…!”

In the evening, the sun was still stained with blood, and the war drums of Beiliang sounded like thunder, shaking the sky and the nine heavens. It was like a military order. The Beiliang cavalry quickly gathered, as if they had been prepared. They moved at the sound of the drums, like a torrent bursting its dam, with unparalleled speed.

The war horses neighed, their hooves stamped the ground, and smoke and dust billowed!

The dull armor flashed red light towards the sun, as dense as dragon scales, emitting scarlet blood and illuminating the vast battlefield.

Swords and spears were like a forest, and halberds were like frost. Three hundred thousand Beiliang cavalrymen were lined up in battle array, with sharp eyes and murderous aura. Their ranks were neat, as if cutting with knives and chopping with axes without a trace of disorder.

The flags were fluttering, with the words "Beiliang" embroidered on them!
The momentum is overwhelming, and the blood turns into clouds.

The vast murderous intent was like rolling wolf smoke, condensing into a huge inky beast in the sky, with blue scales and black armor, a dragon head and a unicorn body, ferocious claws and fangs, red eyes and golden pupils, clouds spewing from its mouth, and blue thunder accompanying it by its side.

The color of heaven and earth changes, and the sun and moon lose their light.

"Roar!!!"

It roared towards the south, and the army formation below seemed like a war machine that had been ready to go, waiting for the order to crush everything in front of it.

With the Han Mo Lin Cavalry and the Da Xue Long Cavalry as the vanguard, one black and one white, like the two yin and yang of Tai Chi. Under the setting sun, the horse's hooves sounded like thunder and their screams were like eating blood.

"What happened?"

"Why gather?"

The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and dozens of riders came galloping over, all riding white horses and wearing silver armor. The leader among them was Chen Zhibao.

Chen Zhibao also heard the thunderous drumbeats and hurried over with his guards, but the Beiliang cavalry who used to worship and respect him acted as if they didn't see him.

He didn't even respond to his inquiry.

"What happened?"

"Zhao Yun, you answer the question!"

Chen Zhibao rode a white horse and came before Zhao Yun, the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and looked at him sternly.

Judging from the situation, Beiliang is going to use troops, but he cannot be unaware of Beiliang's use of troops, and all military orders cannot be hidden from him. However, it is obvious that he has not received any news now.

Zhao Yun glanced at him coldly, still maintaining his silent attitude. Even the most ordinary soldiers did not react, but looked towards the platform with a firm gaze.

Following their gaze, Chen Zhibao discovered the ancient-looking rock. Although it was a rock, it had marks of knives and swords on it, and was as heavy as a mountain.

Chen Zhibao took a few steps forward but was stopped by Dian Wei with a halberd.

At this time, Dian Wei was wearing Kuilong heavy armor, holding a wind and thunder double halberd, riding on a black-horned Suanni, and said to Chen Zhibao in a playful tone: "Don't get involved in today's affairs. Let's see if you are strong enough for us to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, several generals appeared in the army again. The bloody butcher Bai Qi, riding the cloud-stepping Lu horse, holding the Chixiao double-edged sword in his hand; the god of war Zhao Mu, riding the red charcoal fire dragon horse, holding the Qilin cross-tooth mace in his hand.

Guan Yu rode on the Golden Hoofed Horse and held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand; Ma Chao rode on the Windy Sand and held a Shuofeng bow and cold arrows in his hand; Xu Da rode on the Jade Lion Stallion and held a Tiger-head gold-carved spear in his hand.

Li Yuanba rode on Wanli Yunyanzhao, holding a drum-beating and golden hammer in his hand; Huang Zhong rode on Huangpi Tougulong, holding a Jiufeng Chaoyang Knife and a dragon-carved and gold-painted bow in his hand; Xu Chu rode on Huaban Feizhuahuang, holding a Wuding Kaishan Axe in his hand.

Including Dian Wei, there are nine people in total, all of whom are in the first-grade realm and have reached the ultimate realm, some are the Great Vajra, some are the Great Finger Mysterious, and some are the Great Celestial Phenomenon.

The nine men surrounded Chen Zhibao with a fierce look in their eyes, locking their auras on him. As long as he dared to make any move, their weapons would fall on him without hesitation.

A cold sweat appeared on Chen Zhibao's forehead, and at this moment a voice broke the current situation.

"Hey, stop playing and put away your weapons. We are all family, and it would be bad if we hurt the harmony."

Xu Chunlin changed his previous style and rode on a black unicorn with bloody tongue and golden eyes. He wore the armor of Xuanwu Mountain and had a solemn expression, but still had that dandy tone.

The black unicorn carried Xu Chunlin, stood on the general platform, and let out a roar.

All 300,000 Northern Liang cavalrymen dismounted from their horses, knelt on one knee, and tapped their chests with their right hands in the Northern Liang military salute.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!!!"

.........

Waves of sound were overwhelming.

Chen Zhibao was so shocked by the scene that he was speechless. He had never seen the Northern Liang Cavalry so well-organized, let alone their worship and awe of one person to such a level.

This has never happened even to King Xu Xiao of Beiliang.

The Xu Chunlin in front of him was obviously no longer the dandy young man he knew in the past, but a real commander, a king who could make 300,000 cavalrymen bow down to him.

"Are you really Xu Chunlin?" Chen Zhibao said in disbelief.

"What? Can't recognize it?"

Xu Chunlin looked at the 300,000 Beiliang cavalrymen under his command with high spirits, and couldn't help but feel excited. He had no shortage of beauties, whether he was in power or sleeping on the lap of a beauty. He also wanted the highest position in power.

"Were you pretending before?"

"Xu Chunlin is the most dissolute playboy in the world. Everyone in the world knows him. Do you think I am pretending or is it real?" Xu Chunlin smiled playfully.

For the past decade, he has been acting like a dandy, and he himself doesn't even know what his own character is like. He is truly a dandy, and he is truly ambitious, and even his cruelty and tyranny are also part of him, Xu Chunlin.

These clones of theirs were born with incomplete personalities, and would only form complete personalities through acquired supplementation. However, he had to pretend to be a dandy for more than ten years, and sometimes he himself couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.

Chen Zhibao looked serious and asked, "What do you want to do by deploying troops here? Does your godfather know about this?"

Xu Chunlin drove the Ink Kirin forward and said, "Xu Xiao doesn't know. Even if he does know, what does it matter?"

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."

"Beiliang is under my control, you can go there with peace of mind!"

Xu Chunlin waved his hand lightly, and the other nine generals rushed forward and surrounded Chen Zhibao and his personal guards.

The energy surrounding Chen Zhibao's body was merging with the Silver Spear Plum Wine, like a silver-horned black dragon, with the power of wind and thunder, the wind and thunder fighting each other, the momentum was astonishing.

Just when he was about to fight to the death, suddenly several sharp swords pierced through his chest and abdomen, and then were pulled out, spurting out hot blood.

"You...you, why?"

"Why did you betray me!!!"

Chen Zhibao looked back, used his whole body's energy to lock the blood and energy in his body, and questioned in a stern voice.

Each of them was carefully selected by him. They had a clean family background and were brave in combat. Some of them even blocked stray arrows for him on the battlefield of Beimang.

In the past eight years, Chen Zhibao regarded them as his brothers, and some of them even broke through the first-grade Vajra Realm with his help. Facing Chen Zhibao's questioning, his former guards were silent, and their golden eyes lit up, with their swords stained with blood, and they slowly pressed forward.

"We are His Majesty's men, subordinate to the Five Hundred Spiritual Officers. How could we be traitors?"

It was a pity that such a great soldier in white finally died at the hands of his most trusted bodyguard and most trusted brother.

In addition to Chen Zhibao, those who went with him included Dian Xiongchu, Yao Jian, Ye Xizhen and others.

King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang had six adopted sons, all of whom were adopted during the unjust wars of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Chen Zhibao, a tiger, was known as the Soldier Genius in White. He left no way out for himself or his enemies. He was the best in national wars with more than 100,000 men. He once single-handedly forced himself and Ye Baikui, the leader of the four most famous generals in the world, into a fight to the death, and finally won.

After Li Yang unified the Central Plains, Chen Zhibao was promoted to Protector General of Northern Liang, second only to the emperor!
Chen Zhibao was ambitious and wanted to wait for his adoptive father to die before taking over as the King of Beiliang. There was also a large part of the Beiliang army that wanted Chen Zhibao to be the King of Beiliang.

Before his death, military advisor Zhao Changling grabbed Xu Xiao's hand and told him to let Chen Zhibao take over the position of King of Beiliang after Xu Xiao's death. Because he knew Chen was capable and ambitious. Xu Xiao failed to compete with the Zhao family for the world, and he hoped that Chen Zhibao, whom he chose, could help him achieve it!
Xu Chunlin chose to execute Chen Zhibao for a simple reason: there is no two suns in the sky, no two kings on earth, and no two masters on earth. The world is fighting for the dragon, and it's a fight to the death.

White Bear Yuan Zuozong, this fierce general who likes to use enemy heads as wine glasses, was a little disappointed with Xu Fengnian at first, who looked all show and no substance, but he was loyal to the Xu family and never formed cliques for personal gain.

In the original novel, I was really happy for my adoptive father when I saw Xu Fengnian's transformation. Yuan Zuozong was one of the most famous generals in the world, and later retired with a group of Beiliang veterans.

Xu Chunlin could tolerate him and mainly tried to win him over.

The notorious Chu Lushan liked to change his clothes every day but never changed his master. He was the only general who could compete with Chen Zhibao!

Chu Lushan is a big devil who can make children stop crying. He is almost evil and only Xu Xiao can suppress him. The other adopted sons are disgusted by Chu Lushan's behavior, and Chen Zhibao even threatened to burn his 300 kilograms of fat meat to death.

But the only good thing about Chu Lushan was that he always treated Xu Fengnian and Xu Chunlin as his own brothers.

In the original novel, after Chen Zhibao left Liang, he took over as the Protector General of Northern Liang. The upstart Dong Zhuo of Northern Mang defeated Li Yang so badly that he could not even lift his head, but he was naturally restrained by this fat man of Northern Liang. It can be said that without Chu Lushan, it would be difficult to defend Northern Liang.

But when he saw Xu Fengnian resign as King of Beiliang, he followed the old general into retirement.

Xu Chunlin knew how to use Chu Lushan, and he valued him highly. Although his personal morality was flawed, his merits outweighed his flaws.

Among the star gods in the sky there are also evil stars and the fierce god Tai Sui, let alone humans?

The ancients called the Yangtze River "Jiang" and the Yellow River "He". The water of the Yangtze River is clear, and the water of the Yellow River is turbid. The Yangtze River is flowing, and the Yellow River is also flowing.

An old proverb goes: When a sage appears, the Yellow River becomes clear.

But when has the Yellow River ever been clear? The Yangtze River and the Yellow River both irrigate several provinces along their banks. We cannot use the Yangtze River in a biased manner because its water is clear, nor can we abandon it because the Yellow River’s water is turbid. This has been the case since ancient times.

The same applies to employing people.

As for Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen.

Ye Xizhen studied under Zhao Changling and has always been a loyal supporter of Chen Zhibao. He controls half of Beiliang's intelligence organizations. Yao Jian is a feng shui master and firmly believes in Huang Longshi's plan to kill the white dragon and python at the same time.

When Xu Fengnian was a child, he often followed Yao Jian, but in the original novel, Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen offered 500 kilograms of gold to buy Xu Fengnian's death during his trip to Beimang. Just for this reason, he should be killed!

Not unfair at all.

The last one is the simple-minded Qi Dangguo. Qi Dangguo has unparalleled arm strength. He is the one who carries the banner of Beiliang and a fourth-rank military general.

At the same time, he was a rough man who didn't care about food and accommodation. The princess couldn't stand it, so she personally chose a mansion for him. Even his wife was arranged by the princess. She didn't know what she looked like until she lifted the veil. Fortunately, the couple lived a loving and sweet life.

As for this person, Xu Chunlin mainly tried to win him over.

In order to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation. Only after all the people of Chen Zhibao's faction are eliminated, can Xu Chunlin feel at ease, right?
At this time, Xu Chunlin was holding Chen Zhibao's body and using the magical powers of heaven to bind and collect the soul, luck, and blood essence that he had collected after his death.

The scarlet-gold dragon's pupils lit up, looking at the extraordinary soul within, enough to see through its essence. A man who looked like an emperor was seen sleeping. He wore a star crown, green shoes, a green crane robe, held a jade slip in his hand, and wore a seven-treasure sword and a white jade ring. His dignity and authority were unparalleled.

Xu Chunlin muttered to himself, "The Green Emperor? Oh, he has a very important background!"

Chen Zhibao's true identity is the reincarnation of the Green Emperor in heaven. The Green Emperor wants to use this reincarnation as a pawn to seize the entire world.

In fact, he was reincarnated as the Emperor of Dafeng many years ago, and now he is reincarnated as Chen Zhibao. Originally, his fate was good, at least he could divide the world into three parts, but unfortunately he met Xu Chunlin.

His mind moved slightly, and in a blink of an eye he arranged a good place for him.

"In my heavenly palace, I am still lacking a Star Lord of Eastern Wood Virtue, Chonghua, who is in charge of mountains, forests, plants, dragons, snakes, wind and thunder. Now I have found the candidate."

The Wood God is considered to be the spirit of wood and the son of the Cang Emperor, symbolizing benevolence and vitality. He represents the growth and prosperity of all things in nature and is closely related to the eastern Jiayi wood, spring, and benevolence.

He is the highest god after the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors. He is responsible for conveying the will of the Jade Emperor, monitoring the good and evil in the world, and being in charge of killing and warfare.

Giving him such a background would not be considered an insult to Chen Zhibao.

What's more, what I value most is talent. There is no useless garbage in my opinion, only talents who haven't found their place.

Just Chen Zhibao, I believe I can fully control him.

"Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei stepped forward and reminded, bringing Xu Chunlin back to his senses.

Xu Chunlin nodded and looked at the more than 300,000 Beiliang cavalrymen who were ready to go. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were gathering rapidly. The strong wind blew up the ink-colored cloak behind him, and his eyes showed the determination to give up everything.

The image of Qingtian Zhenwu appeared, and behind him was the virtual image of the Cangming North Sea, with a black turtle roaring in it.

As Xu Chunlin's mind changed, his murderous intent grew stronger. The surging water of Xuanming turned into a vast sea of ​​blood. Endless waves of blood gushed out, and a ferocious and vicious dragon snake coiled behind it.

The combination of the turtle and the snake is called Xuanwu!
The Northern Black Tortoise was created from the Taiyin, with the substance of Xuwei in its form, in the shape of a tortoise and a snake platform. It circles over the nine lands and commands all spirits.

The Zhenwu Dharma Image stretched out his hand backwards and pulled out a northern black sword with a demon-slaying horn, which was also the Zhenwu sword, from the mouth of the dragon snake!
While in the other hand, a Zhenwu black carved flag, also known as the Heaven-Covering Flag, was pulled out from the giant turtle's mouth. It turned into a dark blue flag with the power to cover the sky and the sun, and obscure the universe.

The will of all living beings in Beiliang is concentrated on the Zhenwu soap-carved flag, transforming into the image of Xuantian, like a roc's wings dangling from the sky, in order to conceal the detection of the immortal world.

“It’s now time to make great achievements!”

Xu Chunlin's voice was calm but revealed a cold murderous intent, and his Zhenwu sword pointed to the southeast.

"In this battle, we must first conquer the three states of Quan, Yong, and Ji!"

"Roar!!!"

The mounts of the Han Mo Lin Cavalry and the Da Xue Long Cavalry all revealed their true forms, transforming into Kirin dragon dragons with grey scales and white armor, roaring ferociously.

The powerful soldiers are like the surging waves, and their momentum is like a rainbow rushing towards the bull!
More than 300,000 cavalrymen came rushing in, like dark clouds falling from the sky and a strong wind passing through. Their force was devastating and everyone was terrified!

---

"Gone? That's fine. It all depends on the kid's luck!"

In the Beiliang Palace, Xu Xiao and Wu Su were also staring towards the southeast with stunned expressions.
