Chapter 283

Afterwards, he gazed again at the marshlands on the outer edge of the Hulun Grasslands!

"Retreating in this direction should be no problem!"

"Even if Han Xin were beaten to death, he would never have imagined we would run west toward the desert instead of north!"

"Once Han Xin realizes what we're doing, we'll make a great detour, circle around to the north, and join forces with the Xiongnu people!"

"In this way, everyone can escape the grasslands, and then, by plundering Rome, we can make ourselves strong again!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu spoke, truly filled with admiration for Fan Zeng's proposal!

But... looking at this vast expanse of land, his heart was once again filled with reluctance!

The homeland!

Oh, the homeland!

He sighed again and again!

Fan Zeng said, "There is nothing to be reluctant about; in the future, we can fight our way back!"

After speaking, he gazed toward the distant south!

That was the direction of the Central Plains!

It was also the location of the Great Qin!

And he was a person from there!

Yet... he was about to follow Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and leave together!

To go together to the Roman Empire!

There was no way!

Truly, there was no way!

He did not want this!

But if not this, then what else could be done?

One wrong step, and every step thereafter is wrong!

He sighed aloud.

However, just at this moment, suddenly, horses came galloping from afar!

Many wore black headscarves; in mere moments, they had surrounded this place!

In the blink of an eye, they all reached the mountaintop!

A large crowd surrounded all three of them!

"Who is it?"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu shouted loudly!

A black-clad masked man angrily declared:

"Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu, you traitors of the Central Plains, aiding evil and betraying your country; we, as people of the Central Plains, are ashamed of you!"

"Today, we shall eliminate you, these great evils, on behalf of the Central Plains!"

As he shouted, instantly, all the black-clad men drew their swords!

Fan Zeng looked at them, closed his eyes, and sighed: "Alas! Actually, I truly did not want you to come!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu sneered: "Kill them; what point is there in wasting words on this bunch of trash?"

After speaking, he suddenly and fiercely stomped his foot on the ground!

And just as that foot stomped down, Boom—, the earth collapsed!

Almost everyone fell into the huge pit!

In that instant, all the black-clad men were struck with shock and terror.

On their faces was shock!

But they were also furious; immediately, they charged at Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, Xiang Yu, and Fan Zeng!

Yet... just as they moved, suddenly, the Great Master, the Carefree Master, Master Master Xiaomeng, the Eastern Lord, Tian Guang, and countless other experts all burst forth from underground!

Afterwards, the two sides clashed violently!

Moments later, all the black-clad men were slaughtered clean!

Fan Zeng personally removed the mask of one black-clad man, looked at his face, and began to sigh:

"Why? Why couldn't you be more decisive?"

"If you want to be friends, then be friends to the end; if you want to be enemies, then be enemies to the end!"

"Being friends today and enemies tomorrow—what is this all about?"

"Even if Facing Ying Su made you a Marquis of Guannei, what would that matter?"

"Do you think a Marquis of Guannei obtained by selling out your master to seek personal gain can sit securely?"

"Or do you truly believe that if you capture the three of us and bring us before Facing Ying Su, Facing Ying Su would let Mendezong Sect off?"

"Ridiculous!"

"Truly ridiculous!"

"You were not killed by Facing Ying Su, nor by me, Fan Zeng; you were killed by your own stupidity!"

"You were killed outright by your own foolishness!"

After speaking, he kicked this black-clad man into the pit, watching helplessly as spears inside the huge pit pierced through their chests; then, with a wave of his hand, he said: "Let's go!"

After speaking, he took the lead and headed toward the distance!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu likewise followed and left!

The army must retreat!

Because, according to Fan Zeng's guess!

Han Xin has not yet launched his attack because the swamp has not yet frozen solid.

Once it freezes solid, that will be the moment for Han Xin to attack!

Therefore, we must retreat!

We absolutely must retreat!

On the other side!

The Great Wall!

After five days of a long march!

Finally, the envoy sent by Ying Su to read the imperial decree has arrived at the Great Wall!

Coming to the side of Meng Wu and General Meng Tian's army!

But the moment the decree was to be read, Ying Su's envoy flew into a rage: "Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Prince Fusu—why have the three of them not come to receive the decree?"

The moment this question was asked, Wang Ben was stumped, not knowing for a moment how to answer!

The envoy roared: "Send for them to receive the decree immediately, or it will be considered treason!"

Wang Ben sighed and had no choice but to send someone!

However, the messenger returned with the reply: "General Meng Wu and General Meng Tian are unwell and cannot come; Young Master Prince Fusu states that Ying Su's claim to the throne is illegitimate, and I do not recognize him!"

"What?"

As these words left his mouth, a cold glint flashed in the envoy's eyes; he stared fixedly at the soldier who had come, his voice chilling as he said:

"Go back and ask them: shall I report their words to His Majesty the Emperor exactly as they were spoken?"

"Do you know that this is deceiving the sovereign and defying the throne, a capital crime of treason?"

130. Invincible Li Cunxiao, kills Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu!

The Great Wall!

Inside Yan Sect Pass!

Ying Su's envoy spoke in a furious voice.

At this moment, he was utterly enraged!

Upon hearing this, that soldier swallowed hard!

He was terrified; at this moment, he dared not delay even an instant, and ran straight back!

And not long after, he returned, bowing to the envoy and saying:

"General Meng Wu and General Meng Tian state they are unwell and cannot come!"

"Young Master Prince Fusu says that Ying Su slaughtered one million five hundred thousand Xiongnu; his killing karma is too heavy, and he is unworthy to be Emperor. One day, he will march into Xianyang City, accuse the rebellious son before His Father the Emperor, and demand His Father punish him!"

"Hm?"
