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

When leaving the city, he did not choose to go through the west gate, but went around to the north gate.

When he approached the Hongxing Army camp, Lin Kui and more than a hundred of his men were suddenly besieged by thousands of Hongxing Army soldiers.

Lin Kui immediately explained his purpose to Hong Xingjun. Fortunately, Duan Tianyang agreed to meet him, which made Lin Kui's tense mood eased a little.

Afterwards, he was led into the central military tent by the Hongxing Army soldiers.

Stepping into the tent, Lin Kui took a look and saw a young man in his twenties sitting in the middle.

The young man was dressed in casual clothes, but it was difficult to conceal the extraordinary aura he exuded.

Looking closely at his face, his features are extremely delicate, his black hair falls lightly in front of his chest, and his eyes are as deep as a lake, which is fascinating.

Behind him stood two attendants, a man and a woman, while on both sides of the tent sat three gentle and elegant counselors.

Seeing this, Lin Kui quickly took two steps forward, bowed and saluted with an extremely respectful attitude: "I am Lin Kui, the humble one, and I pay my respects to Master Duan!"

Duan Tianyang sat quietly on the mat, without saying anything immediately, his eyes slowly moving over Lin Kui.

After a moment, he slowly asked, "Did Zhou Baiyuan send you here?"

"Yes!"

"Why are you sent here?"

"My master sent me here to discuss the withdrawal of troops with Lord Duan."

Duan Tianyang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then asked with a smile: "Is Zhou Baiyuan okay? Do you think I'm joking with him? It's not impossible to withdraw the troops, as long as he is willing to surrender and hand over Shengluo City."

Lin Kui coughed lightly and continued, "My master has made it clear that if Lord Duan insists on not withdrawing his troops, even if the city is finally captured, Lord Duan will only get a dead city. Our soldiers will spare no effort, even dragging hundreds of thousands of people in the city with them to face the disaster together."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Wen Daozun, Chi Xun and Li Jiu in the central army tent changed. Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer behind Duan Tianyang also had solemn expressions, with fierceness revealed in their eyes. The two of them clenched the handles of their swords almost at the same time.

Seeing this, Lin Kui's heart tightened, and he quickly added: "But...but if Lord Duan is willing to withdraw his troops, my master is willing to sign an alliance with Lord Duan, and we will be friends forever, and the two sides will not invade each other from now on. What do you think, Lord Duan?"

Duan Tianyang asked expressionlessly: "What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Kui."

"Which city did you leave from?"

"I come from the North City."

Duan Tianyang said "Oh" softly, then stood up and said firmly: "Our army will never stop before taking over Shengluo City. If Zhou Baiyuan wants to use the people in the city as bargaining chips to threaten me, it is wishful thinking. If Zhou Baiyuan really dares to do that, the world will not blame me for this, but will only make him the target of public criticism. As for you, there is no need to go back."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer had drawn their swords at the same time and strode towards Lin Kui.

Seeing the two men coming towards him angrily, Lin Kui's face instantly turned pale as paper and he stepped back involuntarily.

He trembled and said to Duan Tianyang: "Sir, when two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys..."

"Envoy? Aren't you a member of the rebels?" Duan Tianyang glanced at him and asked with a sneer on his face.

"Sir...sir, please spare my life!" Lin Kui's legs went limp and he fell to his knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

At this time, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer stood beside him with knives in their hands, all looking at Duan Tianyang, ready to take his life at his command.

Duan Tianyang raised his chin slightly and asked calmly, "Don't you want to die?"

"Of course...of course!" Lin Kui widened his eyes and nodded repeatedly.

"Then surrender to my Hongxing Army, and perhaps you can save your life." Duan Tianyang smiled and offered a condition.

Lin Kui was about to agree, but suddenly remembered something and swallowed his words back.

Seeing Lin Kui's hesitation, Duan Tianyang frowned and asked, "Why? You don't want to live?"

"Your Excellency doesn't know that my family is all in the city. If I defect to the Hongxing Army, Zhou Baiyuan will definitely harm my family. I really can't bear to see them suffer." Lin Kui explained with difficulty, his voice full of helplessness and fear.

Duan Tianyang heard this, slowly walked up to Lin Kui, and said softly: "You are quite affectionate and righteous. Although you are timid, you still know how to think about your family."

After a brief pause, he changed the subject and spoke again: "I have a plan that can protect you and save the lives of your family. Do you want to hear it?"

Lin Kui's eyes flashed with light, and he asked anxiously: "Master Duan, what do you want me to do?"

"You can go back to where you came from, but the people you brought with you have to stay here. I will personally lead some brothers and enter the city with you!" Duan Tianyang's words were clear and powerful.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Kui's expression changed drastically and he stared at Duan Tianyang in disbelief.

Wen Daozun and the others present were also horrified. They stood up and advised in unison: "Sir, this is absolutely not allowed. It is too dangerous!"

Duan Tianyang waved his hand to signal everyone to stay calm. He looked at Lin Kui with a firm gaze and asked again: "Are you willing to cooperate?"

Lin Kui was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and asked in horror, "Master Duan means... that you should pretend to be my subordinate and follow me into the city?"

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly and praised: "Smart!"

Lin Kui was horrified, his eyes widened as if he was looking at a lunatic, and he remained silent for a long time.

Duan Tianyang's move was tantamount to walking into a trap. He only led more than a hundred soldiers out of the city. Even if Duan Tianyang could bring a hundred more people, how could he compete with the nearly 100,000 troops in the city?

This is simply like a moth flying into a flame and seeking one's own destruction.

After a long silence, Duan Tianyang finally couldn't hold back and asked Lin Kui: "Have you made up your mind?"

Lin Kui was startled and asked cautiously, "Are you making fun of me, Lord Duan?"

"Who's kidding you?" Duan Tianyang replied seriously, "You just need to answer, yes or no."

"Of course I'm willing. But Lord Duan, do you really think we can capture the City of Saint Luo with just over a hundred people?" He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Duan Tianyang chuckled, "I'm not that arrogant yet. However, when the main force of the rebels is contained in East City and West City, there will only be a small number of defenders left in North City. The more than one hundred of us can play a role."

When Lin Kui heard this, although he felt a little uneasy, he gradually understood Duan Tianyang's intention.

Although this plan is brilliant, it is also extremely dangerous.

If he fails, not only will he be in danger, but his family will also be implicated.

Thinking of this, he began to break out in a cold sweat and frowned.

"Master Duan," he asked courageously, "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after entering the city and expose your identity in public?"

Duan Tianyang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with a smile: "If you dare to do this, I will kill you first. Even if you run away, do you think the 200,000 Hongxing Army soldiers will let you go? Even if they chase you to the ends of the earth, they will catch you. And then use the most cruel means to make you and your family wish you were dead!"
