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

When Duan Tianyang heard this, his mind suddenly buzzed. Yi Shuirou was at the Earthly Demon Realm, and yet she was injured?

Her injury undoubtedly foreshadowed the cruelty and difficulty of this battle, which was beyond imagination.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the messenger's arm and asked anxiously, "How is the princess's injury?"

The messenger shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice: "I only know that the princess was injured. As for the specific circumstances, I really don't know."

"What about the casualties of the imperial army?" Duan Tianyang's words revealed an anxiety that was hard to conceal.

Upon hearing this, the messenger's eyes reddened and tears began to fall uncontrollably again. He choked and said, "When I evacuated, most of my brothers in the army had already died. The rebel army suffered heavy casualties and was almost destroyed. We no longer have the strength to fight."

He wiped away his tears and continued, "Our army is surrounded by enemies. All the generals urged the princess to ask you for help, but the princess said that asking for help at this moment might drag more brothers into danger. It was the commander who asked me to go against the princess's wishes and send you a message for help in private."

Duan Tianyang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had not seen Yi Shuirou's battle report for many days. It turned out that she did not want to drag him down and bore this heavy burden alone.

He stamped his feet angrily and shouted to the people around him: "Let's go back to the camp!"

After returning to the Hongxing Army camp, Duan Tianyang immediately summoned his generals and advisers to analyze the situation in detail in the central military tent.

The imperial army led by Yi Shuirou suffered a setback in the heart of Jin and was in a precarious situation, requiring urgent rescue.

What is even more troublesome is that the coalition forces of the Western Fan tribes are approaching Jinchuan in a mighty manner, and the Hongxing Army is facing the crisis of having its retreat route cut off.

Finally, Duan Tianyang spoke slowly, with a heavy tone in his voice: "The imperial army is now surrounded, and we must rescue them, but the Western Fan coalition is eyeing them covetously, so we have to be on guard. My idea is that we should go in two groups. One group of people will go into Jinchuan and keep the Western Fan coalition out; I will lead the other group of people to rescue Jinling Town. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Xun's brows furrowed into a "川" shape: "Sir, isn't it too risky to divide the troops? The imperial army is being besieged by two Jin army corps. You only take one group with you, what if..."

Duan Tianyang shook his head and said, "The current situation is indeed difficult. There are strong enemies in front and pursuers behind. Although it is risky to divide the troops to fight, it is also the safest strategy. I have fought against the Eighth Legion of the Jin Kingdom and I know their tactics and strength very well. In addition, when our army marches towards Jinling Town, we can absorb the rebels along the way to strengthen our strength."

After hearing this, although Chi Xun realized the risks of dividing the troops, he also understood that there was no better tactic available at the moment.

He asked, "Which army will you lead to rescue us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fang and Guan Hu stood up at the same time and expressed in unison that they were willing to go with Duan Tianyang.

Duan Tianyang stared at the two of them for a moment, and announced in a deep voice: "I will personally lead the First Legion to Jinling Town."

Upon hearing this, Guan Hu urgently requested: "Brother Tian, ​​I will go with you!"

Duan Tianyang shook his head firmly: "No, you and Xiao Fang must defend Jinguan. This is the throat of our army entering and leaving Jin. Once it is lost, our army will be in dire straits."

His eyes were deep as he continued, "Tiger, it's not easy to stay behind. If the Western Fan coalition forces approach Jinchuan, you and Xiao Fang must lead the army to meet them immediately. Avoid fighting if you can. If the enemy does not retreat, then fight a decisive battle. Send a letter to the interior of the country quickly, asking General Zhao Xuan to send reinforcements."

Guan Hu wanted to speak, but Duan Tianyang interrupted him with a firm tone: "It's settled, no need to say more. You don't have to worry too much, I will recruit volunteers along the way to strengthen our army."

After everything was deployed, everyone left the central military tent one by one, except Xiao Fang who stayed behind.

He walked up to Duan Tianyang, his expression revealing deep worry, and said: "Brother Tian, ​​this battle is extremely dangerous, let me go with you."

Xiao Fang's face was full of worry, but Duan Tianyang felt warm in his heart.

He smiled slightly and refused: "It is precisely because this battle is dangerous that we cannot go together."

Xiao Fang was about to speak again, but Duan Tianyang raised his hand to stop him.

His expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "If I can't come back this time, I hope you can carry the banner of the Hongxing Army."

When Xiao Fang heard this, his heart was shocked. He spoke anxiously: "Brother Tian..."

Duan Tianyang interrupted Xiao Fang, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "Xiao Fang, among all the brothers, we have known each other the longest, and you are the one I value the most. The Hongxing Army has gone through many ups and downs along the way. If one day I am really gone, I hope you can take my place and lead the Hongxing Army to move forward."

For a long time, Duan Tianyang has always entrusted the core tasks to Xiao Fang. This is not only based on his unconditional trust in Xiao Fang, but also his intention to cultivate Xiao Fang's abilities.

But he never said these words, but he was doing it silently.

When Xiao Fang heard Duan Tianyang's heartfelt words, his eyes could not help but turn red, tears flashed in his eyes, and he called out in a trembling voice: "Brother Tian..."

Duan Tianyang patted his shoulder gently, with a heroic and encouraging smile: "Men don't shed tears easily. We are going to the Kingdom of Jin to make achievements and become famous all over the world!"

Xiao Fang quickly adjusted his mood, his eyes firm: "Brother Tian, ​​you are on this trip to rescue the princess, you must be cautious!"

Duan Tianyang nodded in agreement, and at the same time reminded: "The same goes for you. The Western Alliance should not be underestimated. If you encounter a confrontation, you must be careful."

Xiao Fang replied solemnly: "Brother Tian, ​​don't worry!"

The two men divided the work and cooperated with each other. Duan Tianyang led the First Legion to the heartland of the Jin Kingdom for rescue.

Xiao Fang led the Second Corps and stayed at Jinguan, closely monitoring the movements of the Western Fan coalition forces to ensure the stability of the rear and a worry-free retreat.

On that day, the First Legion left Jinguan and marched towards the heartland of the Jin Kingdom.

Seven days later, Duan Tianyang and his party successfully arrived near Jin Guo Taishan.

After days of running around, the Hongxing Army was exhausted. Duan Tianyang decisively ordered the entire army to set up camp and rest for a day.

As we are about to cross the rugged mountain road, recovering our physical strength becomes particularly important.

When setting up camp, Duan Tianyang summoned several guides who were accompanying the army.

He pointed to the mountains stretching ahead and asked if they had reached Taishan.

After receiving a positive answer, he further asked the guides about their familiarity with Taishan's terrain.

However, the guides looked at each other and said they were not familiar with Taishan.

You know, Taishan is not just a mountain, but a continuous mountain range. If you take the wrong road, the time wasted will be immeasurable.

Therefore, they must find someone who knows the terrain of Taishan. Duan Tianyang turned to Dai Zong and said, "Dai Zong, take a few brothers to see if there are any local residents."

A guide interrupted at the right time and said, "Sir, I know there is a small village called Xiangxi Village at the foot of the mountain. Most of the villagers there are hunters. They know every plant and tree in Taishan very well."

"Then you can go with Dai Zong."

After the two left, Lu Jingyuan approached Duan Tianyang and said, "Brother Tian, ​​the female assassin hasn't eaten or drunk anything for several days. I'm afraid she will collapse before we can torture her."

Duan Tianyang suddenly remembered that there was such a person when he heard this. He asked, "Haven't you interrogated her in these days?"

"No." Lu Jingyuan smiled bitterly, "I have been busy marching these days and have no time to interrogate her."

"Come on, take me to see her."
