Chapter 2002 The burden he must bear
An hour later, someone came to the inn and took him to the Houfeng mansion in Cihua County.
This mansion is surrounded by shadows and shrouded in dark air. It looks like the underworld from a distance, which is completely different from the bright and beautiful world on earth.
Fan Shuang shuddered as soon as she walked in.
Fortunately, when he walked into a small garden, a familiar voice greeted him:
"Brother Fan, long time no see."
Fan Shuang was startled and turned around. Wasn't it He Lingchuan?
It’s still that familiar face, and that familiar smile.
It has been a thrilling six months, things have changed but people remain the same.
Fan Shuang finally let go of her worries and sighed, "Brother He, you scared me to death!"
He Lingchuan asked knowingly, "Why are you so frightened?"
"Are you really the Great Emperor Jiuyou?"
"What do you think?" He Lingchuan raised his chin towards the person behind him, and the black-armored warrior who led him in saluted and retreated.
If he wasn't the Great Emperor Jiuyou, Fan Shuang wouldn't be standing here.
Fan Shuang knew that she had asked a stupid question and could not help but sigh: "I met you again in the season of falling flowers. You are like the bright moon and I am like dust. Alas, life is really full of twists and turns."
"The Yao Kingdom was destroyed, and I often missed my old friends. Brother Fan is very lucky that we can meet."
The night Bai Tan occupied Tianshui City, he massacred the powerful and wealthy on a large scale, eradicated the Yao Wang faction, and took away power, money, and lives!
Fan Shuang was lucky to escape the disaster.
"It's just a stroke of luck." Fan Shuang smiled bitterly, and then recounted his experiences over the past six months.
The two of them sat in the garden, and He Lingchuan personally poured him tea.
After drinking two pots of tea, Fan Shuang finally told her story. Her eyes turned red as she was moved.
"Excuse me." He lowered his head to calm himself down, then said, "I'm so ashamed to have taken up so much of your time."
He Lingchuan said softly, "I met an old friend in a foreign land, how can I be stingy with my time? Well, Tu Shanfang fought bravely and sacrificed himself to save others. He can be regarded as a hero and recorded in the Dragon God Temple. Don't worry, his pension will be in place and will be handed over to his widow by a special person."
In fact, Dong Rui had already told him about Tu Shanfang's deeds and prepared a few treasures to give to Tu Shanfang's family as a thank you gift. However, Fan Shuang naturally didn't know.
He Lingchuan was so smart that he saw at a glance that Fan Shuang wanted to ask for enough compensation for Tu Shanfang. And considering Tu Shanfang's bravery, as long as he didn't die, he would be a great general in the future.
Pity.
However, war has always been cruel. Even a genius may die in a battle and never have the chance to grow up.
Fan Shuang hesitated and asked, "Why does Guo Baiyu insist on attacking Miancheng?"
"Guo Baiyu defended the city and had a well-trained army with sufficient food, so he was not the target of the first round of the Shining Gold War. But he knew that he could not escape the Black Armor Army sooner or later." Being surrounded by the Dragon God's territory, any force would easily panic and react. "He was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he threw himself into the arms of the Heavenly God. The Heavenly God mobilized the surrounding resources and troops for him, that is, other forces that had not surrendered to me, so that Guo Baiyu could gather more than 20,000 people under his command."
The Dragon God's strength will inevitably stimulate those stubborn elements who refuse to surrender to band together for warmth.
Mian City’s suffering is not unique; this is the current situation of the entire Golden Plains.
"Guo Baiyu not only wants to strengthen himself before the Black Armor Army strikes back, but also wants to prove his strength to the newly joined forces in order to maintain his leadership position. Therefore, he is attacking cities and plundering territories everywhere. He attacked Mian City because the demons wanted me to send experts to rescue it, so that they can ambush my high-end combat power." He Lingchuan dipped his fingers in tea and drew a simple map on the stone table. "In fact, my general Tao Ran originally had a plan to lure him to attack Cihua County to relieve the pressure on Mian City. After all, Cihua County is the closest to Huan City he occupied, and it has advantages in resources and geography. Unfortunately, Guo Baiyu saw through it and didn't fall for it."
The Battle of Flash Gold has entered a difficult transition phase, which also means that the easy targets have been dealt with in the first round of battles. Guo Baiyu is not an easy target to take down, especially after he has received the help of the gods.
In fact, He Lingchuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Miancheng to be able to hold on for so long.
As easy as it was for him to defeat the allied forces and Bisha, the battle in Miancheng was just as painful.
"The soldiers and civilians of Miancheng have bought the most precious time for me and the Black Armor Army with their bravery and fearlessness." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Now the Allied Forces and Bisha have been conquered by me, which is a great deterrent to other Shining Gold forces. I hope the tragedy of Miancheng will not happen again."
The victory of the Dragon God and the persistence of Miancheng both have great strategic significance. It is time for other Shining Gold forces to restrain themselves.
He Lingchuan knew what the city looked like before he even entered it. He had seen too many cities and towns ravaged by war along the way.
And all these causes and effects are ultimately related to him.
This is the burden he must bear as the initiator and commander-in-chief of the war.
Fan Shuang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother He, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice."
"Please say."
"The Dragon God's army swept across Shanjin, and your legend spread everywhere. But Brother He, have you ever thought about what would happen if you fail..." Fan Shuang whispered, "I know that your target is not only Bai Tan, but also the God of Heaven."
How could God be an easy target to defeat?
The legend of the reincarnation of the Dragon God and his fight against the demons with the people of Shanjin spread all over Shanjin, so he knew that He Lingchuan was targeting the gods. He was born in a family of officials in Yao country, so he knew more clearly how powerful the demons were. Even the Yao country, which was once the hegemon of Shanjin, was easily destroyed by Miao Zhantian with just a flick of his finger.
Can the so-called "reincarnated dragon god" really compete with the gods?
Can the so-called Nine Nether Emperor really establish a unified great country that occurs once in a thousand years?
He Lingchuan smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's interesting that Brother Fan is the first person to ask me this question."
Not to mention his enemies, his followers never asked either, whether out of firm belief, fear, or both.
Fan Shuang was terrified: "I offended you."
In his eyes, He Lingchuan already had the aura of the Nine Nether Emperor. Even though he was smiling at this moment, the hidden majesty made him feel suffocated.
Although they were old friends, when facing such a person, Fan Shuang knew that the days when they were arm in arm with each other were gone forever.
"No, this question is very important and it is indeed worth asking." He Lingchuan stood up and took two steps, standing with his hands behind his back. "In Fan Shuang's opinion, what is my chance of winning?"
"This, this..." Fan Shuang blushed, "Hey, Brother He, don't keep me in suspense. You know I can't answer it at all."
He Lingchuan chuckled. It wasn't just Fan Shuang who couldn't answer. Looking around the Shining Gold Plain, no one had the answer.
