Chapter 139 Yan Military Commander’s Print

Xiaochu fell into the deep pool, and other children were panicked. Ni Feng wanted to leave there, but was stopped by other children. But for Xiaochu, they would have been rushed away by the huge waves. The children’s minds were so simple that they returned the little favor with great effort. But unexpectedly, Ni Feng tried to abandon Xiaochu. So the other kids were indignant of course. Xiaochu needed help. Ni Feng made Wuyou see the human’s selfishness. Today’s test was over. Wuyou waved her spiritual fingers and got out of the cloud couch. Children’s eyes widened, because they were still in the deep pool last minute. However, they did not know illusion at all.

The children who passed the test would be Kunlun’s new disciples. Chengyi held the silver plate. Wuyou’s spiritual fingers flipped, and then feathers fell into the place between children’s eyebrows. The children touched the center of their eyebrows with curiosity. It was out of expectation that Ni Feng was eliminated, because he got excellent results in several tests. The little boy did not understand why he was out and was unwilling to leave. Although today’s test was about courage, Wuyou would like to see some things of human nature in front of disasters. Xiaochu faced difficulties with great courage, while Ni Feng chose to esacpe and ignore his companions’ lives. Therefore, Kunlun would not keep this kind of people, but thinking that Ni Feng was still a kid, Wuyou allowed him to live in Kunlun temporarily.

This time, Kunlun recruited the larger number of new disciples than ever before. Tens of thousands of contestants took part, and ten of thousands of them passed the tests. Those fairies who were out had to returned by the way they had come. Because of war, the children of the human realm would all stay in Kunlun.

Yan Shen did not expect that Xu Linghe would come there in time. The two entered the military camp. Yan Shen handed in the Yan military commander’s print. Xu Linghe took it over directly. Yan Bo stared at the newcomer, wondering where Yan Shen got the help and Yan Shen just rest assured to give the print to others. In fact, the print should belong to him— Yan Bo, because the old man had promised him. But now the old man broke his word and betrayed Yan Bo’s loyalty. With the thought, Yan Bo clenched his fists in the sleeves. Madam Yu did not say a word. Although she did not agree with Yan Shen’s behavior, she could not reverse the war situation. Anyway, Xu Linghe was much better than Hongjun. Madam Yu was more scared of Hongjun. Rather than to see Hongjun rule the three realms, Madam Yu would like to let Xu Linghe solve the difficulty in Jin City. Confronted with the formidable enemy, Madam Yu thought it was better to drive the devil army away. After straightening her mind, Madam Yu would like to hear Xu Linghe’s opinion. Yan Bo was unhappy inwardly, because Yan Shen forgot his promise and handed the military power to an outsider. Yan Bo hated Yan Shen, wondering what Hongjun would do if he knew it. At the same time, Hongjun got the message and burst into rage. He almost got the fat lamb, but now was snatched by others. How dared Yan Shen! To give the Jin City to Xu Linghe. Yan Shen had set himself against Hongjun obviously. Hongjun felt a tearing pain in his chest again. Xiao Qi handed the elixir to him. Hongjun really appreciated Xiao Qi’s help and found he increasingly relied on Xiao Qi.

In the Commander-in-chief’s camp was filled with Yan army’s high-ranking military officers. They spared no glance for the new Commander in Chief, because the human realmd did not know Xu Linghe in the spirit realm. Yan Shen had no time to explain to them, but served Xu Linghe attentively, because all of the people in the Jin City would rely on him. Yan Shen also wanted to use the battle to test his nephew of Xu’s family to see how much ability the young man had. To have others bow to you depended on your strength. All in all, Xu Linghe had to account for what he had promised. For those children in the human realm, Xu Linghe would go to all lengths.

After several battles, Yan Shen had a good understanding of Di army, so he asked someone to draw a map about military distribution. Xu Linghe studied carefully on the strange environment. Di army was familiar with Madam Yu. This fight was of great significance to Yan army. At the critical moment, Yan army were united as one to drive Di army off. Madam Yu flipped her spiritual fingers and inserted the distribution map on the wall. In order to make it clearer, Madam Yu changed the map into a confronted one. The red part was Di army while the blue part was Yan army. Madam Yu pointed the position of the red and white parts to Xu Linghe, where there was just a city away from the blue part. At present, how to distract the red and white parts’s attention. Only by dispersing their military forces, could the blue part have time to take a breath. The war was imminent. There was just 10 kilometers away from the Jin City. Looking at the distribution map, Xu Linghe had a plan.

“As for military power, Di army is in the dominant position. The situation is against us. So we have to make sudden and violent attacks.” Xu Linghe looked at the crux and thought that under the unfavorable situation where they had less military forces, Yan army had no way but to launch sneak-attacks. Yan Shen had thought about it, but it was hard to put it into practice. Few people in the Yan army knew to use illusion. And why Yan Shen invited Xu Linghe to come there was to prepare for sneak-attacks. Yan Shen praised his nephew in his heart. The young man was able to hit the mark, and he was a talent of real strength.

“Commander in Chief, what do you mean?” Yan Shen was more willing to hear Xu Linghe’s wise idea. Presently, the enemy was strong while they were weak. It was not so easy to win. But Yan knew that Xu Linghe had ideas.

“Now, the enemy hasn’t known the actual situation in the city. So we mustn’t act rashly and blindly. Gather all the common people of the Jin City together and raise their awareness of defence. Be always alert to the strangers in the city. When discovering any strange person, report it as soon as possible. Now the Jin City has been an isolated city. Food is the top priority. We need to make full preparation. Besides, water source is a vital place and should be guarded by powerful soldiers. If the Jin City wants to win with its unfavorable military power, make sure that every detail is perfect and that defensive is well-prepared ring upon ring. And our army should be divided into several groups to disperse devil army and Di army. The mountain attack is our strength. We should deploy our military power in every important fortress. Our forces are arranged in all directions and attack the enemy together. The greater in momentum, the better. To let Di army know that Yan army is not coward.”

“Madam Yu, take order! Lead ten of thousands of soldiers to ambush on the north line. Try your best to suppress the enemy’s attack.”

Madam Yu took the order, came out of the Commander’s camp and went straight to the training ground. Although the officers took the orders and left the Commander’s camp, Xu Linghe did not rest assured. After all, it was the war concerning the life and death of the Jin City. Any carelessness would lead to a complete annihilation. Being the Commander in Chief, Xu Linghe could not be careless. He looked at the Di army’s distribution map again. Yan Shen showed great respect to Xu Linghe. What a young military genius that he had paid attention to everything concerned, including the water source of the Jin City! To arrest the crisis in the incipiency! Yan Shen thought he did choose the right person and that the Jin City needed such a ruler. Only he could bring hope to the Jin City. Yan Shen took an exquisite box from his arms. Yan Bo was surprised at it, because it was Emperor’s Imperial Jade Seal. It was the thing that Yan Bo was desperate to get, but now Xu Linghe could get it easily. Yan Bo’s heart twisted. After all, Yan Bo was the man from Yan family, while Xu Linghe was just an outsider. As the formidable enemy was about to attack them, Yan Shen would not hold any grand ceremony, but just lifted the box over the head sincerely. It was a way to bow to the new Emperor. Xu Linghe came to the human realm just for the kids, not for the bubble reputation. At that moment, Yan Shen was more firmly convinced that he had found the right person. He knelt his knees on the ground. Seeing Yan Shen kowtow, the people in the commander’s camp knelt down in succession. Yan Shen opened the exquisite sandalwood box, and the Imperial Jade Seal shone to sting Yan Bo’s heart. Would he give it away to others? No way! The atmosphere was rather solemn. Yan Shen just knelt on the ground, unwilling to stand up, because he wanted Xu Linghe to become the King of Jin. However, Xu Linghe hesitated because his original intention was for the kids. But he was plotted by the old man. If Xu Linghe took over the print, his burden on the shoulders were heavier. And when could he fulfill the promise with the little woman?

“My virtuous nephew, don’t you want to do something for the children in the Jin City...” The sly fox always knew others’ weak point. Thinking about the children whom Kunlun had taken in, Xu Linghe knew that if the war went on, it would drag Kunlun down one day.

“I will take care of the Imperial Jade Seal temporarily.”

Yan Shen’s heart settled, and he thought he would let the young man keep the Imperial Jade Seal forever. Yan Shen’s old face broadened into a smile. But the smile sounded like a calculation. And Xu Linghe had a feeling of being fooled. The people in the camp were powerful and influential, so they were not convinced by the new Emperor Jin. Without some abilities, how to live in the official circles? Want to have others bow to him? Strength talked.

“Zhan Ming, listen! I will see the walls two meters thick in two days.” The officer named Zhan Ming kept his head low and fell in a trance when the Commander in Chief called his name. Yan Shen felt surprised at Xu Linghe’s words. To build up the wall two meters thick in two days? The retaining wall of the Jin City was 5,000 meters, and now the city lacked stones. Where could they find so many stones? However, Xu Linghe must have his own considerations, and he would not embarrass anyone. Zhan Ming collected himself and took the order, but still felt confused inwardly.

“Why not go down to finish the task?”

Yan Shen reminded him and knew that Xu Linghe must have a lot of things to do. So Yan Shen decided to ask him later to see if there was any good idea. Confronted with the strong enemy, warfare should be put into the first place, and they would try every possible mean to win the battle. Xu Linghe asked the people who knew weapons to discuss the war. Last time, the devil army was defeated mainly because of Kunlun’s Melting Souls Liquid. Xu Linghe would make good use of it, of course. In the situation where the enemy was strong while they were weak, Xu Linghe would use some unusual means. Only in this way, could they have more chances to win. As for the war in the Jin City, Xu Linghe had to boost the Yan army’s morale and restore their confidence, and then, they could regain of lost territory.

“Yan Shen, listen! Take five thousand of strong soldiers to break through the encirclement from the north line and coverge with General Yu.”

“What? The person wants me to court death... Your Majesty!” Yan Shen was unconvinced by the order. How could the outsiders gain all the profits, even coverting the Lord’s throne? Human nature was deformed in front of profits. Yan Shen’s heart was controlled by desire. He used to be a person faithful to friends and valuing personal feelings, but now was eroded by Authority. When Yan Shen handed over the Commander’s print and the Imperial Jade Seal, Yan Shen was just a common person. Military orders were like a mountain. Even if Yan Shen once did something good to Yan family, he had to follow the Commander’s orders.

“Do as Commander in Chief Xu said. To gather five thousand of soldiers and wait for the order. Before that, no mistakes! Whosoever dares to violate the order will be killed.”

The word “killed” resounded in the military camp. And then, Yan army could have the morale as fierce tigers.

In the Qi army’s military camp.

The scout reported that Yan Shen had changed the Commander in Chief, and now Xu Linghe, Di Qing’s strong opponent, took over the position. Di Qing spent his whole life pursuing a good showing. In order to exceed his opponent, he had racked his mind to take all steps, but finally he was still inferior to Xu Linghe. Xu Linghe boosted Yan army’s morale. Di Qing almost captured the Jin City but was blocked by Xu Linghe’s tight defence. Di Qing launched several offensives, but they were defeated by Yan army. Warfare badly battered Di Qing. Those cities that he had managed to seize was recaptured by Xu Linghe. Di Qing was so furious that he could not sit well in the commander’s camp. The military map on the table was marked full with red lines. Leng Cang stared at the red lines. The battlefield report came every one hour. Qi army was marked red lines while Yan army was blue. Di Qing was overwhelmed by the blue lines on the map. With Yan army’s momemtum, it would not take long before occupying the cities. It was the last thing that Di Qing wanted to see. On the other hand, in the Yan military camps, the atmosphere was totally different. All of people were in high spirits. Madam Yu’s attacks were gallant and unstoppable. Xu Linghe was an expert in strategy. He knew well about the Jin City’s advantages and strengthened the city walls. So Di army’s gunpower did not work on it. The common people in the Jin City gathered together and became the army’s backup. With them, Yan army was more overwhelming. Di army failed to attack the city. As the Commander in Chief of the Qi Kingdom, Lin Xiaosa did not want to meet with his own brother on the battleground. Di Qing was unable to resist Yan army’s attacks. Lin Xiaosa ceded three cities, which made Di Qing angry but helpless. As a matter of fact, the devil soldiers were unruly. After two campaigns, to rectify the military discipline, Lin Xiaosa killed several disobeyed high-ranking military officers of the devil army. When things were reported to the King of the Qi Kingdom, Di Qing was afraid of being blamed by Chidi, so he gave an imperial edict hurriedly to order Lin Xiaosa not to take any rash move, and all the things should be decided by Di Qing. When receiving the imperial edict, Lin Xiaosa was burnt with anger and felt frustrated to be the commander, because he even had to follow the King’s order to kill an unruly soldier. Those soldiers who had broken the military disciplines heard that the King of the Qi Kingdom ordered an imperial edict to constrain the commander and became more rampant. Finally, Lin Xiaosa broke out from the silence and killed two, and both of them were Chidi’s confidants. It was too late for Di Qing to know it. The devil soldiers’ heads were taken back to the military camp.
