Chapter 674
Although that cavalry unit only had five thousand riders, it was extremely fast, twice as fast as the charge of ordinary elite cavalry. It bypassed the frontal battlefield and inserted directly behind Li Chengfeng, obviously intending to cut off his retreat.
At this time, the generals under Li Chengfeng also realized something was wrong and immediately ordered interception, but the troops were in a mess under the fierce artillery bombardment, so where could they be mobilized? A small number of those who killed in front of Little Wei Yuan's formation were also killed by the soldiers holding flying sword guns in the front row.
Li Chengfeng only had two thousand personal guards by his side, so he could only send one thousand to intercept, but Little Wei Yuan's cavalry knew it was an absolute elite just by looking at the military Qi. Li Chengfeng's one thousand personal guards couldn't stop them at all. Little Wei Yuan's Jade Mountain appeared above his head, then disappeared; he didn't use this opening artifact at all, and had already killed through the personal guards.
"Retreat!" Li Chengfeng squeezed this word out from between his teeth.
The sound of the horn barely penetrated the artillery fire and reached the front-line troops. Li Chengfeng then arranged for several generals to break out and go to the rear city to mobilize troops. But in fact, he knew that the fifty thousand garrison troops in the city now were only second-line troops and couldn't compare with the five thousand world-class elites in his hands at all.
And Little Wei Yuan's army strength was undamaged, and mobilizing rear troops couldn't change the war situation.
Several generals took orders, but seeing Li Chengfeng didn't move, they asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, what about you?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head: "I will live and die with the army."
The generals and strategists were shocked and hurriedly persuaded him, but Li Chengfeng was disheartened, just shaking his head and urging the generals to move reinforcements.
At this time, Little Wei Yuan personally led five thousand cavalry to insert into position, cutting off Li Chengfeng's retreat, and then slowly approached, forming a siege with the front army.
Li Chengfeng sighed, the cold wind rose, blowing his temples, his eyes lonely, looking straight ahead.
Little Wei Yuan was not dragging his feet at all, the siege formation gradually closed, and the reinforcements in the rear city could not catch up no matter what.
At this time, an old man appeared in the air, with anger on his face, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he was about to make a move. But a soft, glutinous woman's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "If I were you, I wouldn't get involved in the game of the younger generation."
The old man's hand stopped in mid-air, and he said coldly: "We have two people, and you only have yourself. You can't stop the two of us no matter what."
The woman did not appear, her voice like a sound from outside the sky: "The world is a game, and no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, they are just chess pieces and chips. As long as the chess players are still there, this game of chess can still be played. But this Extinguishing Sky Dagger in my hand can still be used once, which can cause the Mind-Reflection World to collapse by twenty percent."
"It's not easy for us to cultivate to this point, so why bother to put our own paths into it for the sake of some mortals?"
A majestic voice sounded in the air again: "If you dare to move the Marquis of Shanyin, you won't be able to escape my strike either."
The woman said calmly: "I know there are two of you, so I also prepared a treasure, which is a bit of a waste to use on you."
Subsequently, a strange breath appeared, and even immortals would tremble when they smelled it. The majestic old man was shocked: "Yin Bomb! How could this thing be in your hands?!"
"Only in my hands can we not hurt the harmony."
Marquis of Shanyin said: "You cannot hurt the life of the Fourth Highness!"
The woman said: "It won't damage his path either. But after you go back, you are not allowed to reveal to anyone that the Yin Bomb is in my hands."
The two Zhao state Master Yu Jing immediately swore an oath.
On the battlefield, Li Chengfeng was surrounded on all sides, having a feeling of "the wind is blowing, the Yi River is cold." He smiled sadly, slowly pulled out his sword, and was just about to make a final death struggle, when suddenly the artillery fire stopped, and Little Wei Yuan's voice came from afar: "Fourth Highness, are you willing to talk?"
Li Chengfeng looked around. At this moment, he and the central army had long been bombed off the high ground and merged with the army. Looking around, all he saw were casualties, and several Dharma Form high cultivators were also gray-faced and injured.
They had to intercept the cannonballs, so their magic power was consumed by more than half in a short time.
Li Chengfeng cheered up and replied: "Don't let your people open fire; I'll come over myself."
Little Wei Yuan said: "No need to trouble Your Highness; I'll come over."
Little Wei Yuan appeared and flew straight into the Zhao central army, treating the tens of thousands of troops as nothing.
Standing in the central army, Little Wei Yuan was brightly dressed, without a speck of dust on his body, forming a sharp contrast with the opponents around him who were covered in dust and blood.
Little Wei Yuan got straight to the point and asked: "Are we still fighting?"
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Little Wei Yuan uses troops like a god; Chengfeng admires it. Little Wei Yuan, state your conditions. I'll say it first: if you want the Bishui domain, that's out of the question; there is only death."
Little Wei Yuan said lightly: "It's fine not to move the Bishui domain, but Fourth Highness, you cannot stay. You commit suicide; I will spare your subordinates' lives and not move Bishui either."
Li Chengfeng smiled miserably and said: "It's a deal!"
He pulled out his sword and wiped it toward his neck.
"Your Highness, no!"
"Don't!"
"Quickly protect the Emperor!"
Amidst the chaotic shouting, ministers and generals pulled hands and hugged feet, finally suppressing Li Chengfeng. A young girl suddenly rushed in front of Little Wei Yuan, opened her arms, and said: "Spare Chengfeng brother; I can die for him!"
Little Wei Yuan looked at this young girl who was full of nobility and delicate, and smiled: "You are not worthy."
The young girl was furious: "Do you know who I am? I am the younger sister of the Lady of Hua Country......"
Little Wei Yuan was stunned. Was this young girl also a Zhao royal family member? But looking at her eyebrows and eyes, they were different from the two sisters Li Ru Yi and Li Chunyi; they were two styles.
The young girl paused and continued: "......'s sister's daughter! Chengfeng brother is my cousin!"
Little Wei Yuan almost fell, then said coldly: "Then you strip naked in front of the army, that's also fine."
The young girl's small face instantly flushed, and she said angrily: "You shameless lecher!"
Little Wei Yuan didn't talk nonsense with her and said: "Either you strip, or Fourth Highness dies. If neither works, I'll open fire."
The young girl still wanted to speak, but Li Chengfeng said: "Ziyan, with me here, you don't need to sacrifice yourself."
Li Chengfeng came to Little Wei Yuan, pushed the young girl away, and smiled bitterly: "Ziyan doesn't understand things; let Lord laugh."
Little Wei Yuan smiled: "Miss Ziyan is quite good, sincere and innocent."
Li Chengfeng's old face also flushed. Cultivators have many ways to commit suicide, and Dharma Form cultivators can even self-destruct their Dharma Forms, so why use a neck-wiping method? Besides, even if he wiped it, he wouldn't die; one spiritual pill would save him.
So the strategists and generals all looked anxious, and this Ziyan was really anxious.
Little Wei Yuan then said: "I won't beat around the bush. This time I can not move the Bishui domain, and I can not kill people, but what benefits do I have? Or rather, what is Fourth Highness prepared to take to buy these?"
Beside him, Ziyan gritted her teeth, almost crying, and shouted: "Don't make things difficult for Chengfeng brother, I...... I can......"
Li Chengfeng hurriedly waved a Dao power, sealing the word "strip" back. To put it bluntly, whether she stripped or not, where could it compare to the Bishui domain and tens of thousands of troops?
Li Chengfeng knew he couldn't muddle through, smiled bitterly, took out a scroll and unfolded it.
The painting was a piece of chaos, in which clouds and waves rolled, and an immortal palace was hidden in it, appearing and disappearing. The immortal palace group faintly revealed gold, outlining huge feathers, gold and green shining, flashing with light from outside the sky. Looking closely, the crown was like a nine-fold canopy, the bird's beak like exquisite coral, and it was actually a huge phoenix bird sleeping.
Li Chengfeng said: "The painting is the Phoenix Fire Xiangong. It is said that a divine phoenix bird fell here. This painting was obtained by the family's immortal ancestor during his early training. Reaching into the painting, one might capture a treasure in the immortal palace. What exactly it is depends on each person's opportunity."
"The first-generation immortal ancestor once took out an immortal artifact from it. The immortal ancestor later said that there were at least three immortal objects in the immortal palace, and then he used this treasure as a family inheritance, letting future generations seek opportunities and also test each person's Qi fortune."
Little Wei Yuan had a look of joy: "Sigh, this is too precious! I am ashamed to accept it!"
He reached out to take it, but seeing Li Chengfeng smiling but not smiling, looking like he wouldn't stop him at all, his hand stopped above the scroll, and he said with a dry smile: "This painting is not for me?"
"This is the ancestor's object?"
Little Wei Yuan understood. He also knew that he hadn't reached the level of being able to grab treasures from immortals. So he asked: "Then how many times can I draw? The number of Earthly Fiends, the number of Heavenly Spirits, or the number of constellations?"
Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded and said: "Do you think this is scooping goldfish? This painting can only be opened once a year, and this year's one hasn't been used yet. I was originally going to return it to the ancestral land after drawing. This opportunity is let to you. I can only wheel to this opportunity once every thirty years. The last time was fifteen or sixteen Dao Foundation perfections, and as a result, I drew a Master Yu Jing spiritual treasure."
Saying so, it could also offset more than half of the Bishui domain.
Little Wei Yuan then said: "Just this is not enough. I have a few more conditions. First, you have to buy a batch of brocade from me, totaling one million bolts, seven taels per bolt."
Li Chengfeng was stunned. The price of silk in the Zhao state was soaring, and brocade had risen to eight taels per bolt. And Zhao brocade quality was not as good as Azure Void machine brocade. Brocade is high-priced and light-quality; one million bolts can be shipped back in one ship, and shipping costs won't cost much. If it's bought at seven taels, he seems to be able to make some profit.
He nodded immediately and said sonorously: "It's a deal."
