Chapter 195

At this time, it was dawn, and everyone saw Yuzhou City cowering under the barrier; with the current means of the Tang Capital, it was impossible to open the barrier.

Li Huan'er composed her emotions and announced the withdrawal of the army; this night raid by the barbarian army hadn't gained any benefits other than losing soldiers and generals, and all of this was within Li Wuguo's calculations. The enemy had lost their military advisor and couldn't organize an orderly attack in a short time.

The Tang army retreated into Tang City one after another; the opponent had reinforcements, and these reinforcements were an array cultivator. This battle would be hard to fight.

If Yang Guangyin didn't die and the Illusion Realm didn't break, were they going to be trapped in this Illusion Realm for a lifetime?

In the morning, just past the Chen hour, there was a routine morning court.

Li Wuguo had returned to her helpless and fragile appearance, a completely different person from the one who had fought Zuo Lengchan last night.

Meng Su reported the enemy's situation in detail, wanting to see if Li Wuguo had any solutions.

Li Wuguo lazily pressed her temples and said, "Generals, do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy?"

The generals looked at each other, having no strategies to offer.

Li Wuguo waved her hand weakly at everyone and said, "Since that's the case, let's wait and see. Generals, retire from court. General Meng, stay."

Everyone dispersed; Li Huan'er glanced at Meng Su and also left reluctantly.

Only Meng Su and Li Wuguo were left in the Great Hall, and Li Wuguo immediately came back to life with full health.

Meng Su asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why aren't you worried at all? Are you planning to live in this world permanently? Now the opponent has reinforcements that exceed the rules, what should we do?"

Li Wuguo habitually raised her right hand to form seals, but she had already anticipated the result of the matter, so there was nothing left to calculate, and the hand seals turned into picking her nails.

Li Wuguo smiled while picking her nails, "Isn't this world good? Accompanied by beauties, with no worries about food or clothing. Junior Brother, why not have children here and live a good life?"

"Fine, if Senior Sister has such leisure, I have nothing to say. Tomorrow I will go to court and request the Holy Queen to choose a husband; the Holy Queen of the dignified Great Tang Kingdom has no husband, what kind of system is that?" Meng Su used her own method to treat her.

Li Wuguo, however, was in a great mood and smiled, "Choosing a husband is too much trouble. Senior Sister is getting on in years, so I won't think about it. But Junior Brother, don't you want to leave something behind in this world?"

"This is just a mental world, what can I leave behind?" Meng Su said irritably.

"The mental world is fake, but the people are real; isn't our Huan'er beautiful? You are now her reasonable and legal husband; it's hard to say what will happen when you get outside. If you want to be sure, you can only cook the rice into cooked rice in this world. Junior Brother, don't let down this great time." Li Wuguo laughed loudly after speaking.

Seeing Li Wuguo determined to talk nonsense with him, Meng Su straightened his body and said seriously, "Senior Sister is in the prime of her life; we demon cultivators can live for thousands of years if we move, so how can Senior Sister's age be considered old? Senior Sister is peerless in elegance, and it's hard to find a match in the world. I think the Right Divine Machine captured yesterday can be a match for Senior Sister. How about I go and capture that guy and send him to Senior Sister's room tonight, how about that?"

Seeing Meng Su talking nonsense with a straight face, Li Wuguo knew that if they continued to talk, she didn't know what more outrageous topics would come up, so she immediately coughed lightly and said, "Alright, um, that, let's talk about business."

"You were the one who started talking nonsense first." Meng Su muttered in a low voice.

Li Wuguo said formally, "Because I have the power of Heavenly Secrets, in this world, that Right Zen Machine is no match for me; he cannot calculate their ending, but I can. At the fastest three days, at the latest seven days, we will definitely be able to kill Yang Guangyin, open the Illusion Realm, and return to the Demon Realm."

"Just today, our reinforcements will definitely arrive, and by then, the so-called barbarian army will be nothing to fear."

Meng Su absolutely believed in Li Wuguo's deduction because he felt that the cheap master Heavenly Secret was very supernatural; the disciples he chose shouldn't be too bad.

At this moment, the two discussed the details, and Meng Su took his leave.

Watching Meng Su's retreating back, Li Wuguo suddenly became serious and muttered, "Junior Brother, Huan'er is your opportunity, and you are also her opportunity; although this is a trap set by the Asura Realm, it is also an opportunity left for you by heaven. You must grasp it well."

Meng Su returned to the Consort Mansion; Li Huan'er had already prepared breakfast. Meng Su finished breakfast and was about to go out when Li Huan'er stopped Meng Su and said, "Husband, where are you going again?"

"I'm going to the city wall to take a look; the barbarian army might organize an attack today." Meng Su said without looking back.

"Then Husband, wait a moment, I'll go with you." Li Huan'er hurriedly went back to put on her armor, took her weapon, and held Meng Su's arm, and the two walked to the city wall.

The city wall was silent, and the situation on the battlefield after the slaughter was shocking; there wasn't a single living person on the huge square. A few vultures were flying in the air, waiting to eat the corpses. In some places that were on fire, although the open flames had been extinguished, green smoke was still rising.

Meng Su and Li Huan'er circled the city wall. They analyzed the pros and cons of the terrain from various angles and judged the main direction of the opponent's next attack.

Several hours passed, and there was no movement from Yuzhou City. It seemed the opponent was brewing some big plan.

Just as Meng Su and Li Huan'er were about to leave, a commotion suddenly appeared on the city wall, and all the defending soldiers picked up their weapons, eyes looking into the distance.

Meng Su hurriedly turned back and walked to the city wall.

Dust filled the sky on the distant horizon, and at the same time, rhythmic hoofbeats appeared; it was clear that a large group of people was approaching the Tang Capital from afar.

Li Huan'er shouted with a serious face, "Prepare for battle."

The soldiers on the city wall began to line up, the shield army stood in front, and the archers were behind the shield army.

Before long, the enemy walked out of the dust-filled sky; this time, all that came were shield troops and cavalry. There were no archers or catapults.

Meng Su watched for a while, turned his head, and said to Li Huan'er, "They don't look like they are going to attack the city."

Li Huan'er frowned slightly and said, "Better to be careful. No matter what they want to do, be ready for battle."

Meng Su nodded.

The opponent's approach was slow, not like the posture of charging to attack the city. After half a day, all the barbarian troops appeared in front of the Tang army.

Standing in the air at the very front of the barbarian army was a person in green clothes; the person in green clothes had a big head and a wide face, and it was Yang Xiu. No middle tent of the enemy army was found. So this invasion didn't have the barbarian leader, but rather looked like a posture of wanting to negotiate with the Tang army.

Yang Xiu clearly also saw Meng Su; seeing Meng Su, Yang Xiu felt pain all over his body, and recalling the situation of being used as a brick to knock on the barrier by Meng Su last night, Yang Xiu felt a lingering fear in his heart.

When the barbarian army's team was still an arrow's distance away from the city wall, Yang Xiu raised his right hand, and the barbarian army stopped; if they walked any further, they would be within the range of the Tang army's arrows.

After the barbarian army stopped, Yang Xiu waved his hand, and a person tied up like a zongzi was thrown out by the barbarian army.

Meng Su took a look and recognized it was Ye Baiyi, who had come to the Illusion Crystal Lake with him.

At this time, Ye Baiyi was covered in blood, and his face and clothes were no longer clean. He lay on the ground motionless, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Seeing this, Meng Su picked up the Fangtian Halberd and was about to attack.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu hurriedly raised his hand at his subordinates, and a barbarian soldier took out a curved saber and held it against Ye Baiyi's neck; the meaning was very clear: if you mess around, I will kill this person.

Meng Su couldn't help but stop his pace.

Yang Xiu said loudly to the city wall, "This person ambushed my camp last night and was captured alive by our army; heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and our army is a civilized army, wanting to exchange this person for our clan's military advisor, is that possible?"

Meng Su was stunned, "Li Wuguo said that reinforcements would arrive today; could the reinforcements be this Ye Baiyi?"
