n“The Marshal is wise! He’s extremely intelligent!” Bai Wenxin complimented.

n

n“The Marquis of East desolation would never have thought that this battle was just to attract their attention and buy time for this plan.”

n

n“Yes.” Zhou Tianqi stroked his beard with a smile.

n

nIt was as if he could see the Marquis of the eastern wilderness’s exasperated state when his provisions were destroyed.

n

nAt this moment.

n

nA member of the nether guard rushed over from the barren County.

n

n“Move!” He shouted.

n

nHe ran all the way to Zhou Tianqi. He didn’t even have time to bow before he reported,”general, the young Duke was killed by a thief!”

n

nBOOM!

n

nZhou Tianqi’s head trembled as a terrifying killing intent rose into the sky. A huge pressure pressed down on him as he glared at him.

n

nHe grabbed at the air, and a Supreme suction force came from his palm. The nether guard did not even have the ability to resist. He was grabbed by the collar and stared at him coldly.”Look into my eyes. I repeat myself!”

n

nThe nether guard panicked and didn’t dare to look at the pair of terrifying eyes. They lowered their heads and said weakly.

n

n“Everything this subordinate has said is true! Just a moment ago, a thief broke into the prison and rescued Zheng Qing and Shi potian. The young Duke led his men to the prison and met them. The two of them fought, and the young Duke was killed. ”

n

n“Where’s venerable netherworld flame?” Zhou Tianqi asked, suppressing his anger.

n

n“Wait, wait until Lord netherworld flame reacted, the thief had already run away!”

n

nChi!

n

nZhou Tianqi tore the nether Guard’s body in half in anger and threw him on the ground.

n

nHis gaze was terrifyingly cold, and the killing intent around him went berserk, emitting a Supreme might.

n

nHe suppressed his anger and said coldly.

n

n“This person spread false news and tried to destroy the morale of my Army. He should be killed!”

n

nThe surrounding people didn’t even dare to breathe.

n

nNo one was a fool. Since the nether guard dared to send this news at this time, it was most likely true.

n

nBut now that the war had reached the level of white heat, once the news spread, it would definitely shake the morale of the Army, and the consequences would be very serious.

n

nZhou Tianqi was really ruthless to make such a decision.

n

n“The Marshal wants to withdraw?” Bai Wenxin asked.

n

n“No need!” Zhou Tianqi was expressionless.

n

nHe looked coldly at the battlefield in front of him and spoke in a deep tone.

n

n“After preparing for so long, Emperor Sheng Wen was severely injured by his good son. The opportunity has finally appeared. It’s a great opportunity to destroy Xia country. The plan that I’ve made must not fail!”

n

n“It’s the Marshal!” Bai Wenxin admired him.

n

nNot everyone was as courageous as Zhou Tianqi. His only son was a martial arts prodigy who was killed, but he could still suppress his anger and command the battle. His mentality was not something ordinary people could compare with.

n

nHe did not notice.

n

nZhou Tianqi clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves. His fists were deep in his flesh and blood was flowing out.

n

n……

n

nThe broken bridge was not far from the barren County.

n

nThey were separated by two counties.

n

nWith Xiao ran’s speed and the support of his spatial power, he arrived in the blink of an eye.

n

nHe kicked open the spatial barrier and rushed out with Zheng Qing and Shi potian.

n

nWith a flash of golden light, the figures of three people appeared on the ground.

n

nXiao ran had just steadied himself when the Golden Book of Fate flipped to the next page. 16 items were displayed, and they exploded once again.

n

nEspecially Zhou Lin, who not only had a noble status but also had the bloodline of the great Zhou imperial family. He had the mysterious heavenly sacred body, which was really rich.

n

nBut now was not the time to check.

n

n“Are you alright?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“I’m fine!” Zheng Qing shook his head.

n

nHe smiled bitterly.

n

n“I thought that I could catch up to you if I worked hard, but I didn’t expect to be pulled so far behind by you.”

n

nXiao ran smiled and punched him on the chest.”Hard work is important, but talent can’t be caught up by hard work.”

n

nHe looked at Shi potian.

n

nHe still admired this old general.

n

nShi potian was also sizing him up. His pair of wise eyes were shining with wisdom. He calmly welcomed Xiao ran’s examination and smiled gently,”there are no outsiders here. Why are you still covering your face?”

n

n“It’s my fault for not considering this. ” Xiao ran smiled.

n

nWith a flash of golden light, the black suit turned back into a black brocade robe. Then, he took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome and handsome face.

n

nHis eyes were as bright as the stars, carrying great wisdom.

n

n“Not bad!” Shi potian praised.

n

n“You’re too kind, stone general. I’m just doing my best.” Xiao ran laughed.

n

n“This is easy to say, but it’s hard to do. In the entire great Xia, how many people can do it?” Shi potian shook his head.

n

n“I’ve heard Zheng Qing mention you before. You were born in an ordinary family, but you relied on your own strength to grow to where you are today. If you don’t have some solid abilities, you won’t be able to do it even if you have the support of a noble!”

n

nHe took the initiative to ask about the situation in Barren County.

n

n“Has Lord Marquis sent out his troops?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

n

nHe explained the situation in a simple manner.

n

n“With Lord Marquis’s military strategy, since we’re here, there’s no need to worry about this battle! Even if Zhou Tianqi is an old general of Zhou, he won’t be able to escape from Lord Marquis. ”

n

n“I’m just afraid that the Zhou Empire’s Army isn’t as simple as it seems. ” Xiao ran said in a serious tone.

n

nLooking at the broken bridge in front of him, Shi potian had already guessed Xiao ran’s purpose for coming here.

n

n“Have the wind barbarian race joined forces with them?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“In addition to the wind barbarian tribe, the Zhou nation also asked the ice giant tribe to hide near the barren County. They were prepared to deal us a heavy blow at the critical moment of the war. I secretly found them and they were subdued. After discussing with the eastern desolation Marquis, we gave the ice giant to him. My mission is to stop the wind barbarian race for three days. ”
