After binding the longevity lottery system, my lottery will become stronger.

Seven days later.

Ye Lingtian and Tang Ruoyu arrived at Tianqian City in the north of Great Zhou.

Tianqian City was originally the northernmost city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was known as a barrier to block Northern Yan and Northern Liang. Later, it was captured by Northern Yan. The huge city was slaughtered and turned into a dead city.

After Jicheng's Northern Expedition, the first thing they captured was Tianqian, and they sent a large army to garrison here. Now Tianqian City has been stained with blood, there is bright red blood on the city walls, the walls are sunken, and it is filled with the breath of war.

On top of the city wall stood patrolling soldiers, holding spears in their hands. Even though they were injured, their expressions were still extremely serious.

The previous dynasty chaos has not ended yet. Northern Yan and Northern Qi have large armies stationed in the north, thirty miles away. They have launched several attacks and may invade at any time.

Outside the city gate.

Ye Lingtian and Tang Ruoyu were riding horses.

"Who are you?"

On the city wall, a guard in armor stared at Ye Lingtian and Tang Ruoyu with a stern look.

Tang Ruoyu clasped his fists and said, "I am Tang Ruoyu from the Tang Sect, and this is Master Ye from the Great Zhou."

"Tang Ruoyu from the Tang Sect? Master Ye?"

The guard general had a puzzled look on his face. He was a soldier guarding the north, but he didn't know who Tang Ruoyu and Master Ye were. However, he was familiar with the word "Tang Sect".

After all, it is a big sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, and its reputation is still very huge.

"Master Ye..."

At this moment, a voice of surprise and doubt came from the city.

A middle-aged man in black armor and with an extraordinary demeanor flew over. He was Lin Hailiu, the Marquis of Zhenbei, one of the Western Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Lin Hailiu stood on the city wall, his face pale, as if he was injured. When he saw Ye Lingtian, his eyes fixed and he clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Master Ye!"

He immediately said to the guard, "Come on, open the city gate!"

Squeak!

The city gate opens.

Lin Hailiu said with a serious expression: "Master Ye, please come into the city for a chat."

"it is good."

Ye Lingtian smiled and nodded, then rode his horse into the city with Tang Ruoyu.

Inside the city, in a tent.

Six generals gathered together with Lin Hailiu. Without exception, they were all out of breath and had wounds on their bodies. It seemed that after so many battles, they were still unable to hold on.

The maid poured wine on the side.

"Meet Master Ye, Sect Master Tang."

Lin Hailiu and six generals clasped their fists towards Ye Lingtian and Tang Ruoyu. Among the seven people, Lin Hailiu was the grandmaster, and the other six were all masters.

Ye Lingtian nodded slightly to the others. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked, "Tell me about the situation of this battle."

He had already guessed the result, but he still needed to understand the specific process.

Lin Hailiu said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty led a million troops to attack Beiyan, and no one could stop him. Not only did he recapture Tianqian City, he also captured seven cities in Beiyan in a row. It can be said that he was overwhelming, but unfortunately he encountered an emergency..."

Ji Cheng is not a conceited person. He dares to march north because he is confident.

Beiyan's power was weakened, so there would be no problem for him to attack Beiyan. He captured cities and territories at an extremely fast speed, and Beiyan could not stop him at all.

Unfortunately, I still encountered special circumstances.

Lin Hailiu continued, "When attacking Yanyun City in Northern Yan, a group of mysterious strongmen from Northern Yan, Northern Qi, and Cangwu suddenly appeared in the city. They surrounded and killed Your Majesty. Your Majesty could have won, but unexpectedly...unexpectedly, the princess appeared. She suddenly attacked Your Majesty, and Your Majesty was seriously injured and eventually died tragically."

Ye Lingtian glanced at Lin Hailiu and asked, "Are only Beiyan, Beiqi, Cangwu and Xuanniao surrounding Jicheng?"

Ji Cheng has been hiding very deeply, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. It is difficult for ordinary people to kill him. Even if Xuanniao attacks him by surprise, he can only be injured at most.

Lin Hailiu hesitated for a moment, and said: "In fact, in that battle, I saw a spider on your majesty's neck, and then the black bird succeeded in the sneak attack. At first I thought it was the black bird's work, but now I think about it, I suspect there is another master hiding in the dark..."

"Spider? I see."

Ye Lingtian nodded slightly. It seemed that Luowang had taken action. Among Luowang, there was a top-notch killer who was good at using poison, codenamed Poison Boy.

But the same thing goes, Ji Cheng cannot die.

This time, the death came extremely suddenly, and there were many things wrong.

The woman Xuanniao may be ruthless, but she will not let Ji Cheng die easily. Once you are involved in feelings, it is difficult to get out of it.

She must have known the outcome of Ji Cheng's Northern Expedition early on, so she took action personally to make people think that Ji Cheng was really dead.

Lin Hailiu said with a complicated expression: "After the death of His Majesty, the morale of our Great Zhou weakened. Northern Qi suddenly sent reinforcements to Northern Yan. Our Great Zhou kept retreating. The army of one million is now reduced to only 600,000."

"After the State Master took power, I was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to guard Tianqian City. Unfortunately, facing the continuous invasion of Northern Qi and Northern Yan, there are only 60,000 to 70,000 troops left. Now, 30 miles away from Tianqian, there are 150,000 troops from Northern Qi and Northern Yan watching us. It is estimated that they will continue to launch attacks soon."

Ye Lingtian whispered, "Just now when I was heading to Tianqian City, I saw a large army approaching. There will be another battle next."

Lin Hailiu's pupils shrank. "Although the armies of Northern Qi and Northern Yan are fierce, our soldiers of Great Zhou are not incapable of resisting. The real trouble is that there are several mysterious strong men mixed in from Northern Yan. I have sparred with one of them before. He is very strong and I am no match for him..."

"Mysterious strong man? How strong is he?"

Tang Ruoyu's heart moved, and he asked hurriedly. During the time he followed Ye Lingtian, most of the people he met were half-step away from the Dao of Killing. He had no chance to take action even if he wanted to.

It seems like we can have a good fight right now.

Lin Hailiu said in a deep voice: "According to the military intelligence we have gathered, there are a total of 3 mysterious strong men in the Northern Yan army. The one I fought with was a skinny old man in a black robe holding a ghost flag. He was at the late stage of the Grandmaster level. As for the other three, they should not be any worse. As for the Northern Qi side, I haven't found out any specific information yet, but there must be a Grandmaster in charge."

"A skinny old man? A ghost flag? This is interesting."

Ye Lingtian smiled indifferently. Lin Hailiu's description reminded him of a group of grand masters in Luowang.

In connection with the spider that Lin Hailiu mentioned before, it is basically certain that the group that is now in Luowang has not left yet.

"Ye Lingtian, can we fight?"

Tang Ruoyu asked.

There are many sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are also many powerful people, but the strong people in those sects generally will not easily take action because of the dynasty war.

In a word, the sects with a long history have witnessed countless dynasties changing and have long been accustomed to it. As long as their interests are not affected, they will not act rashly. They pay more attention to their own inheritance.

But Tang Ruoyu was different. He felt that this was a war between the Great Zhou and foreign enemies, and as a person of the Great Zhou, he should take action.

Ye Lingtian glanced at Tang Ruoyu, smiled and nodded: "Of course you can fight. If a war breaks out tonight, just go ahead and make your move."

"it is good."

Tang Ruoyu's face lit up with joy, and he was itching to show off his skills, so he decided to find someone to fight with.

"Reporting to the Marquis, the armies of Northern Qi and Northern Yan are approaching, and are now only five miles away from Tianqian City."

A spy came in immediately and reported anxiously.

"Get ready to fight. Leave those guys to us."

Ye Lingtian looked at Lin Hailiu.

Lin Hailiu was excited and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Ye."

He immediately stood up and looked at the generals in a serious tone: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
