The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Before Duan Tianyang could react, Wang Xin continued anxiously, "The court is now in chaos because of the Ling family. Shen Ruolan has used her identity as the princess' biological mother to expand her power and even attempted to harm the young master. This is unacceptable and outrageous. In order to protect himself, the young master has secretly escaped from Xuanhuang City with us and hid in Xinyang City. He plans to join forces with the lord of Xinyang City to take back everything that should belong to the young master. At present, the young master has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, heading straight for Xuanhuang City. It is just around the corner to revive the court. However, the young master is looking for a capable ally, that is you, Lord Duan. Therefore, the young master has specially ordered me to travel a long distance and sincerely invite you to lead your troops to meet with the young master to work together for a great cause."

The amount of information Wang Xin said was so huge that Duan Tianyang found it difficult to digest it.

Such a major incident happened, but I didn't even hear a word about it...

He couldn't help but ask: "Then Master Yi Tianyi knows nothing about this? Can he agree?"

Wang Xin sighed and replied, "Young Master believes that Lord Yi is old and incompetent, and has handed over the world to outsiders. Now the Ling family's influence is all over the court, and Ling Ziyan has become the master of the Divine Realm, with a stable position. The Divine Realm is in a turbulent time, with internal and external troubles. Even if Lord Yi is unwilling, it is difficult to turn the tide."

When Yi Tian decided to pass the position of the Lord of the Divine Realm to Ling Ziyan, Yi Fan did not express any objection.

He knew very well that he was not cut out for it, and as long as it did not hinder his continued pursuit of pleasure, he was content and happy to maintain the status quo.

However, things are unpredictable. When Ling Ziyan's position was consolidated, the Ling family had quietly taken control of the court and even extended their evil hands to him, which he had never expected.

After narrowly escaping the assassination attempt by Shen Ruolan, he fled to Xinyang City overnight.

Xinyang City is one of the twelve main cities. Its mayor is Yi Tian's former trusted general. The two have a deep friendship. After hearing the news, he was furious and immediately decided to support Yi Fan, vowing to take back everything that belonged to the Yi family.

After listening to this, Duan Tianyang's expression became uncertain. He remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing Duan Tianyang remained silent, Wang Xin said meaningfully: "As far as I know, Lord Duan was also deeply harmed by Ling Ziyan and endured humiliation in Xiguan. Now he finally has the opportunity to take revenge. Why is he hesitant?"

If everything is really as Wang Xin said, and the imperial court has now changed its surname to Ling, then it is really not good news for me and Hong Xingjun...

Shen Ruolan had always been disdainful of the original owner, and even went so far as to betray her and insisted on canceling the engagement between Ling Ziyan and the original owner.

Now that the Ling family is firmly in control of Xuanhuang City and has tremendous power, there is no need for her to say anything more about her son-in-law, whom she had always looked down upon.

From the battle with the Chimba tribe, it is not difficult to see the clues that they wiped out all their own merits...

Duan Tianyang does have feelings for Ling Ziyan, but he is not a person who does not distinguish between the important and the unimportant, nor is he a love-brained person like the original owner...

He and Ling Ziyan had a very bad relationship before, and now Shen Ruolan has taken control of the court. If the Hongxing Army continues to fight in the name of the court, its future is hard to predict...

The divine realm is currently in a turbulent time, with internal and external troubles intertwined.

Internal rebellions were frequent, and externally the Jin Kingdom was a formidable enemy.

Yi Fan's attack on Xuanhuang City at this time would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the realm of the gods.

Even if Yi Fan can eventually capture Xuanhuang City and regain control of the imperial court, the Divine Realm will be severely damaged.

The Jin Kingdom will certainly take advantage of this civil strife to invade on a large scale. How can we resist the enemy then?

After careful consideration, Duan Tianyang spoke slowly: "Right now, our country is at war with the Kingdom of Jin. If Xuanhuang City is attacked, the soldiers on the front line will be distracted, and the battle situation may be unfavorable. In the end, the Divine Realm may suffer heavy damage."

"Haha!" Wang Xin smiled instead of worrying after hearing this, and waved his hand and said, "Master Duan, this battle is truly a godsend opportunity for us."

"Why do you say that?" Duan Tianyang looked puzzled.

Wang Xin explained with a smug look on his face, "The Kingdom of Jin is at war with our country and has tied up all of our elite troops at the border. Xuanhuang City is currently under guard, and this is a perfect opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation and move in."

"But if this happens, the front line will be in chaos and the national army may suffer a major defeat." Duan Tianyang reminded worriedly.

Wang Xin sighed and said, "The world originally belonged to the Yi family, but now the national army is willing to be the Ling family's lackeys. If you can sacrifice your life for the country, it can be considered a worthy death."

"What should we do if the front line is lost and the Jin army marches straight in?"

Wang Xin answered without hesitation: "After the young master ascends the throne, he will be able to regroup and mobilize the whole country to resist foreign enemies together."

You make it sound simple...

The reason why the National Army is called the National Army is not only because it is directly commanded by the imperial court, but also because of the rigorous training it has received over a long period of time.

This kind of training endows the soldiers with superb qualities, strong combat power and rich combat experience.

Just imagine, if all the National Army troops on the front line were wiped out, could the country still maintain its title of National Army by relying only on temporarily recruited soldiers?

If these new recruits go to the battlefield, they will probably become prey to the enemy's knives.

Expecting them to resist the Jin army or even drive the Jin army out of the realm of gods is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Duan Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression uncertain and hesitant.

Seeing this, Wang Xin continued to lobby: "Master Duan, as long as you form an alliance with the young master, when the young master ascends the throne in the future, you will be guaranteed to enjoy endless wealth and glory. What are you hesitating about?"

Duan Tianyang followed up the conversation and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you know who is in charge of the situation in Xiguan now?"

"who?"

"Princess Yi Shuirou." Duan Tianyang spoke every word clearly and forcefully.

Wang Xin knew a little about Yi Shuirou's mission to Xifan. He smiled calmly, "The princess is just passing through Xiguan and staying here temporarily."

"No," Duan Tianyang said slowly, "The princess came back from Xifan this time with the intention of staying in Xiguan and commanding the Hongxing Army to quell the rebels."

After saying this, his heart was in turmoil, and he wondered what to do next.

As the commander of the Hongxing Army, his decision concerns the life and death of 200,000 soldiers, so he has to be extremely cautious...

Wang Xin frowned when he heard this.

Yi Shuirou's appearance in Xiguan undoubtedly increased the complexity of the situation.

If Duan Tianyang intended to gather an army of 200,000 to join forces with the young master, how could Yi Shuirou, who was stationed in Xiguan, not notice such a huge move?

Although the power of the imperial court was previously controlled by the Yi family, in fact it had no close connection with Yi Shuirou's lineage.

Her father, Yi Yuan, was only one of the twelve main city lords, and the real power of the court was firmly in the hands of Yi Tian's lineage.

Although Yi Shuirou and Yi Fan have the same surname, they are only cousins ​​and have always been at odds with each other. Yi Shuirou has always looked down on Yi Fan.

On the contrary, she has a very close relationship with Ling Ziyan and is actually her confidant.

Therefore, when faced with the choice of sides, Yi Shuirou is very likely to stand on Ling Ziyan's side.

Wang Xin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked solemnly: "Master Duan, it was under your leadership that the Hongxing Army was built from scratch and expanded to its current size. The soldiers under your command must have great respect for you and regard you as their leader, right?"

Duan Tianyang understood what she meant when he heard this. He sighed softly, with a hint of remoteness in his tone: "The Hongxing Army was established in the name of the imperial court, not my personal private army. If I lead the army to Xinyang City to join forces with Young Master Yi, and the princess obstructs it, I am afraid that most of the soldiers will not follow me..."

Duan Tianyang was talking nonsense, because the true soul of the Hongxing Army lies in the Hongxing Society, and everything in the Hongxing Society is centered around him, Duan Tianyang...

For this army, his will was above any imperial decree, and no one could surpass him...
