Chapter 304

With the bestowing of the crystals, the Dragon Guard was completely boiling.

Those who received the crystals were excited and grateful, shouting "Long live Your Highness," while those who didn't could only look on with envy.

However, it was only envy; they believed that they would definitely have them in the future.

Who didn't know that His Highness was famously generous, with countless immortal pills and miraculous medicines.

Ding Ce said in a deep voice: "Regarding the Heaven Realm Pills, this is top secret; no one is allowed to reveal it to the outside world, understand?"

An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal.

He naturally understood this principle.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, every time Yin Qi bestowed heavy treasures, he would warn the Dragon Guard once.

"Yes, Commander!"

Feng Yunzong's movements were fast.

Three days later, the Yin Shang allied army attacked into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain in nine routes.

Feng Yunzong personally led 700,000 troops as the main force, and Yin Qi also accompanied them, not staying at Duanyun Pass.

For one thing, this was the second assessment, and it wouldn't look good for him to hide in the rear.

For another, the three warships were still in his hands, and they would certainly be used next.

As the Yin Shang allied army attacked into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain, the Chiyi tribes were terrified; some proposed abandoning the tribes and retreating, while others clamored to fight the Yin Shang allied army to the death, falling into chaos.

Regardless of their choice, in front of the Yin Shang allied army, all tribes or tribal alliances were crushed to pieces.

Wherever the Yin Shang allied army passed, people were captured and resources were looted.

Anything that couldn't be taken away, people were killed, and resources were destroyed.

Even if this battle couldn't destroy the Chiyi, it would make it impossible for the Chiyi to recover their vitality for a hundred years.

Zhaoge.

Imperial Palace.

Zichen Hall.

Di Yi, wearing a white Xuan Bird imperial robe, looked at the secret letter in his hand, shocked and unable to speak for a long time.

This was the Chiyi battle report sent by secret agents.

He had never expected that in just one month, Yin Qi would have routed the Chiyi's 1.5 million-strong army and now even attacked into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain.

Such a heaven-shaking military achievement had never happened since the founding of the Yin Shang.

"This is unreasonable!"

Just receiving the battle report, this was the only thought in Di Yi's mind.

But as he finished reading the battle report, although it felt somewhat reasonable, there were still many doubts.

For example, how was the Chiyi leadership wiped out?

And how did Yin Qi know in time?

Could it be the Phoenix Mountain immortals?

Di Yi frowned, his eyes flashing with sharp light, and there was a trace of coldness.

The struggle for the crown prince concerns the position of the Human Emperor.

Even if it were the Phoenix Mountain immortals, if they dared to intervene without authorization, he would definitely kill them.

The struggle for the Human Emperor is not something that mere Phoenix Mountain immortals can meddle in.

Thud! Thud!

A burst of hurried footsteps walked in.

Di Yi looked up; it was Wen Zhong who had arrived.

Wen Zhong walked forward, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, what urgent matter is there to summon this old minister?"

Di Yi handed the battle report to Wen Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Beloved minister, this is the battle report from Chiyi; take a look first."

Wen Zhong raised his eyebrows and took the battle report.

He read it at a glance and soon finished it, unable to help but exclaim, looking up: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Although the Regional Commander of the three armies was Qingzhou Marquis Feng Yunzong, this also showed that Yin Qi had the ability to recognize talent.

As one of the candidates for the crown prince, and even the future Human Emperor, Yin Qi does not need to charge into battle; it is enough that he can promote qualified generals to win battles.

This second assessment can be said to be an assessment of Yin Qi and Yin Shou's military ability, or it can be said to be a test of their ability to recognize talent.

As long as they can win the war, that is the embodiment of ability.

Di Yi nodded and said: "Hmm, this is true; it was sent back by secret agents I arranged in the army. I believe more detailed battle reports will arrive in a few days."

Wen Zhong was both surprised and happy, saying: "Your Majesty, this is gratifying, truly gratifying."

Di Yi, however, was not happy. He shook his head and said with sharp eyes: "Beloved minister, I want to know, in this war, did the Phoenix Mountain immortals intervene to help Qi'er?"

Wen Zhong's expression became solemn, and he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Di Yi continued: "As far as I know, the Great Sacrificial Priest of the Chiyi Ancestral Hall should be a peak Earth Witch, and the other three great sacrificial priests were also Earth Witches; how could they have been wiped out just like that?"

The key to this war was the total annihilation of the Chiyi leadership, which caused the Chiyi army's morale to fall into chaos.

Wen Zhong thought thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Phoenix Mountain is within our Great Shang territory; that Phoenix Mountain immortal cannot fail to understand the consequences of intervening in the Human Emperor struggle, and with His Highness Qi Wang's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to know the consequences of seeking help from the Phoenix Mountain immortals. Let this old minister first calculate the situation."

Di Yi nodded and said gently: "Then I will trouble you, beloved minister."

Wen Zhong immediately began to deduce. He was soon surprised and said: "Your Majesty, according to my calculations, this matter has nothing to do with the Phoenix Mountain immortals; it was the Chiyi Ancestral Hall's great sacrificial priests who were found by their enemies, and they perished together."

Wen Zhong is a Mysterious Immortal, far exceeding Yin Qi.

But when it comes to the Dao of numbers, he couldn't catch up to Yin Qi even with a whip.

Before leaving Mount Chiyi, he had made arrangements to tamper with the heavenly secrets, making people mistakenly believe that Wu Xingkong and Zhuyou and the others had perished together, hiding himself as much as possible.

"Oh, such a thing actually happened!"

Di Yi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say: "Then for this assessment, isn't it Heaven helping Qi'er?"

Wen Zhong nodded: "It seems so."

He also had to sigh that Yin Qi's luck was truly too good, just happening to catch up with the Chiyi great sacrificial priests and their enemies perishing together, and then seizing the opportunity to rout the Chiyi army.

Otherwise, Yin Qi could not have achieved results so quickly.

Just like Yin Shou, his army had only just stepped onto the battlefield and had not yet started a war with the Feng Yi.

However, luck is also a kind of strength.

This shows that Yin Qi has deep blessings and is a person with great fortune.

Taiyuan Mountain Domain, border of the Lu State.

Here, the military camp stretches for dozens of miles, banners flutter, and the murderous aura is soaring.

Commander's camp.

Yin Shou stood up in shock, staring fixedly at the Eastern Marquis, and cried out involuntarily: "This is impossible! It's only been a month; how could Big Brother defeat the Chiyi and attack into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain!"

Eastern Marquis Jiang Huanchu was a refined middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. He sighed and said: "I also can't believe it, but the facts are just so. I believe this news will shock the entire East before long."

Between Yin Qi and Yin Shou, he actually favored Yin Shou more.

And because of this, after Yin Shou arrived in Donglu, he not only promised to send 500,000 troops to assist Yin Shou but also betrothed his beloved eldest daughter to Yin Shou, waiting only for the war to end to get married.

In order to help Yin Shou win this assessment, Donglu could be said to have exhausted its heritage.

But who could have thought that their million-strong army had only just arrived at the front line, and Yin Qi had already defeated the Chiyi's 1.5 million-strong army and attacked into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain.

When he received this news, he also couldn't believe it.

But the one who delivered the news was a secret agent from his Eastern Marquis Mansion, so it couldn't be fake.

In other words, he had placed the wrong bet.

This second assessment had only just begun, and Yin Shou had already lost!

It's just that now, it's too late to regret.

Yin Shou still couldn't accept it; he said urgently: "Is there a detailed battle report?"

Jiang Huanchu said: "It is said that the two sides fought a decisive battle in front of Duanyun Pass, and Yin Qi had people spread rumors in front of the formation, saying that Mount Chiyi had collapsed and the great sacrificial priests and others had all been killed, causing the Chiyi army's morale to fall into chaos. Afterward, the Qingzhou Marquis ordered the entire army to attack, routing the Chiyi army in one battle."

"This..."

Yin Shou was stunned.

This was too much of a child's play.

How could mere rumors shake the morale of an army?

PS: I made a mistake earlier; the Lu State should be the fief of the Eastern Marquis, and the previous Lu State has already been changed to the Cao State.
