Chapter 127: The Plan Three Dukes
“Li Qi, I command you to take charge of my Shadow Kill Imperial Flag. No matter what happens, you must not let it fall.”
“Yes, Leader.” Li Qi tightly grasped the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag and respectfully replied.
“Then, the entire army follows me!” Yang Chen shouted angrily, then mounted his wolf and charged out of Lake City. The grand army of 140,000 began to advance towards Zhang Gao's main force located at Heavenly Water City.
Night quietly fell. In Heavenly Water City, where Zhang Gao was stationed, troops had already been deployed on all sides: Fan Buchen to the east, Fan Buzhi to the west, Huangshan to the south, and Zhou Shui to the north. After Yang Chen and his group arrived, they stationed their army one thousand meters north of Zhou Shui and began to rest and regroup.
Yang Chen approached Zhu Jiang and quietly asked, “Zhu Jiang, do you know when the Duke of Protecting the Nation will come out?”
“Uh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The Duke of Protecting the Nation has already arrived and should be by Chi Long's side now,” Zhu Jiang said after a moment of surprise.
“With five Battle Saints gathered, Zhang Gao is probably doomed,” Yang Chen sighed slightly and turned to leave.
“Five Battle Saints just to kill one Battle Saint; this is going to be interesting. Let’s see how I rescue you from the encirclement of five Battle Saints, lucky child,” Yang Chen thought with a wicked smile on his lips.
Back at the military camp, Yang Chen took out ink and paper and began to write. Soon, a letter was completed, followed by a second and third letter. He then infused each letter with life essence and death essence as a small trick; anyone with life who read these letters would absorb the life essence within them, after which the death essence would destroy the letters.
Yang Chen wrote on three sheets of paper: “You are dead!” This time he did not use any tricks.
“Li Qi, Shi Heng, Lin Tingting, come in.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The three stood guard at the door for Yang Chen.
“Li Qi, take this letter to Zhou Shui. With Commander Li Mu there, you will surely return safely,” Yang Chen instructed.
“Yes, Young Master.” With that, he leaped away.
“Lin Tingting, deliver this letter to Huangshan. With my Shadow Kill Yongbing Legion Commander there, you will definitely return safely,” Yang Chen said.
“Yes, Young Master.” Watching Lin Tingting leave, Yang Chen turned to Shi Heng and softly said, “I had no choice but to send you with this letter; however, the danger involved is unpredictable. Are you willing to go?”
"Young Master, I will risk my life for your command," Shi Heng said firmly.
"As long as you can deliver the letter in your hand to Master Zhang and he reads it, I guarantee you will be safe. However, I fear that Zhang Gao might act before reading the letter. If I send an ordinary soldier to deliver it, I'm afraid it won't reach him, so I have no choice but to let you take this risk," Yang Chen said with concern.
"Young Master, I will ensure everything is done perfectly, without any flaws in your plan!" Shi Heng replied resolutely before leaping away.
"Report, Chief. Lord Red Dragon requests your presence," a soldier outside the tent informed Yang Chen.
"Alright, I'll go right away," Yang Chen said with a gentle smile.
Yang Chen walked alone into the Red Dragon's tent and saw that four people were already waiting for him inside. Sitting in the main seat was a man with fiery red hair, exuding an aura of authority without anger. Behind him stood Red Dragon. It was none other than Red Dragon's grandfather, Duke Chitianba! To the left of Duke Chitianba sat Zhu Jiang, and beside him was a middle-aged man, Zhu Cong.
"Commander Yang Chen of the Shadow Kill Camp, pays respects to Duke Chitianba," Yang Chen said respectfully with a slight bow.
"Good lad, you truly possess a proud spirit. Ha ha," Duke Chitianba laughed heartily. Yang Chen straightened up and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your praise, Duke."
"Ha ha, you are being modest. Having pride is good, but do not be rebellious," Duke Chitianba's tone suddenly turned cold as he walked over to Yang Chen and patted his shoulder, asking, "Can you tell me where your three subordinates went just now?"
"Reporting to the Duke," Yang Chen said without any sign of fear, speaking clearly, "Brother Red Dragon wants to become emperor. Fan Buzhi is one of the obstacles; if they are not removed, how can he succeed?"
"With three lords gathered today, if we can use their hands to eliminate the two princes, wouldn't that be perfect? At the same time, this serves as a military order for you to win over Zhang Gao and strengthen your own power. When Huangshan and Zhou Shui send troops to Tianle City in the future, wouldn't it be easy for you to unite the three lords and overthrow the Jia Shi Dynasty?"
"Is what you say true?" Duke Chitianba frowned.
"If you do not believe me, you will know tomorrow. I will use 'You are doomed!' as a signal for the three fighting saints to simultaneously kill the two princes," Yang Chen stated.
"On what basis do you expect them to trust you?" Duke Chitianba asked.
"Do you still remember the ceasefire agreement between the Jia Shi Dynasty and the two lords? After eliminating Zhang Gao, there will be a one-year truce among us. Therefore, I promised them that during this year, the empire would not send anyone to interfere with their development. If anyone sends troops, I am willing to act as a spy and relay messages for them," Yang Chen said casually.
"If what you say is true, then I have indeed misunderstood you," Duke Chitianba said with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"It is my fault for not informing you of all this earlier; I apologize for that," Yang Chen quickly replied.
"Heh heh, you lad," Duke Chitianba smiled.
"Zhang Gao, if you dare to harm me today, tomorrow will surely be your death day!" came the furious roar from the Sky.
"I beg the Protector Duke to intervene and save us!" Yang Chen said urgently.
"Of course."
"Zhang Gao, let’s cease hostilities today. Why do you want to kill my soldiers?" The voice of the Protector Duke resonated directly from the Sky, as he extended his right hand in front of Yang Chen. Then, far away, Shiheng was brought back by him.
"Hmph, Chitianba? I'll give you face today, but if you truly want to kill me tomorrow, I will fight to peel off your skin," Zhang Gao responded. Yang Chen didn’t care much about that and walked directly in front of Shiheng, noticing his pale face with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you alright?" Yang Chen asked with concern, then sent a surge of life energy over.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. Fortunately, the Protector Duke saved me; otherwise, I fear I wouldn’t have returned," Shiheng said gratefully. "Thank you for your intervention, Protector Duke."
"Heh heh, Brave Earl, I underestimated you. To withstand Zhang Gao's strike and survive is impressive," Chitianba remarked in admiration. What kind of person is Zhang Gao? An Eight-Star Battle Saint! How could Shiheng endure a strike from him and not die? That’s a whole realm and three levels apart!
"I took advantage of the situation, and fortunately, the Protector Duke blocked most of the attack for me," Shiheng said weakly.
"Rest well; you've done very well," Yang Chen said with satisfaction.
"Thank you for the praise, Young Master," Shiheng replied with a faint smile.
