Chapter 57: The Emperor's Grace, the Blood-Slaying Sword Pool [Seeking Follow-up Reading]
Capital.
Memorials were received continuously from various places.
Chu Feng has received detailed battle reports from the North.
"As expected, Prince Ning has concentrated all his forces in the three northern states and will fight a decisive battle there. People's hearts are on the side of the court. Ganzhou and Yongzhou must be quickly controlled to stabilize the rear."
He nodded.
Wang Jian and his men were resting.
This also gives the court time to adjust.
Once the decisive battle in the north comes, anything can happen.
There must not be any carelessness or slackness.
In this kind of decisive battle, any mistake may lead to irreversible consequences.
Prince Ning wanted to turn the tables and let the imperial army be deeply trapped in the northern battlefield.
Chu Feng couldn't give him this opportunity.
The armies of all the prefectures of the imperial court have already rushed to the battlefields in various regions.
All the strong men were mobilized.
Not long ago, he also asked Duan Qianqiu and Zhenshan Hou to go to Lingzhou to help Muchuan.
No matter how strong Mu Chuan is, he alone cannot stop the barbarians who come out in droves.
There is Duan Qianqiu here, who sets up boundless formations and gathers the power of heaven, earth and mountains. One man can defeat thousands of troops.
Zhenshan Hou is adapted to mountain warfare and is also good at mountain defense, so it is best to put him there.
Chu Feng also mobilized most of the strong men guarding the capital, leaving only a very small number.
Staying in the capital would be a waste of their strength.
As long as the four borders are stabilized and the decisive battle in the north is won, the capital will be safe.
On the contrary, if there are any mistakes in the four borders, the capital will also be unstable.
"This decisive battle is not just about one place, but about the entire Great Xia. The decisive battle in the north has not started yet, so I have time to adjust and put all the soldiers in the best condition. Once the battle begins, we must be quick, accurate and ruthless!"
Chu Feng said.
The more the situation became, the less he could urge the soldiers on the front line.
It is inevitable that war will break out in all four regions, but the main battlefield is still in the north.
As for other places, Chu Feng also understood that unrest was inevitable and he could only pay the least possible cost and focus on maintaining stability.
"Let Wang Jian and the others choose the time for the decisive battle."
"As for Yue Fei, I have already sent him to the north to take action when the decisive battle begins."
Chu Feng pondered.
Yue Fei was ready, but he did not enter the battlefield immediately. He was waiting for an opportunity.
All parties are watching and ready to take action.
Chu Feng was also watching them take action.
And at this time.
Someone asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, Duke Xu requests an audience."
At this time, the young eunuch reported.
"Duke Xu?"
Chu Feng's expression changed.
The contemporary Duke of Xu.
Xu Qi.
The first Duke of Xu was the second strongest person after Taizu at that time, at the peak of the ninth level.
But like Taizu, he fought in many battles and suffered too many Taoist injuries, which caused his soul to collapse and he passed away earlier than Taizu.
Chu Feng had wanted to summon him before, but he didn't expect him to come here on his own initiative.
"Let Duke Xu come in."
Chu Feng said.
The lineage of Duke Xu is still very honest.
Xu Qi, in particular, knew very well that he had been inexplicably involved in the relationship with King Ning, so he had to be more cautious.
Except for attending court, he never left the main door or the secondary door.
"See Your Majesty!"
A middle-aged man with a short beard came to meet Chu Feng respectfully.
This is Xu Qi, Duke of Xu.
"Duke Xu, there's no need to be so polite."
Chu Feng looked at him.
"I have learned that the imperial court is about to go to war. The four borders are unstable and there will be unrest. The wars on the borders of various states will cause great suffering to the people. I am extremely worried. Although my father has passed away, the Xu family has been blessed by the country for generations. How can we stay in the capital to enjoy the good life at this time? I am extremely worried, so I am willing to fight and serve the country!"
Duke Xu said sincerely.
He couldn't think of it either.
Prince Ning's rebellion put the Xu family into such an embarrassing situation.
On that day, when the imperial court was at its weakest, some people in the Xu family were very impatient. He directly suppressed them and issued a strict order that they must behave themselves, stay in the Duke's Mansion, and obey the orders of the imperial court.
Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished according to family rules.
But now, the court is fighting a decisive battle.
Nationwide mobilization.
It is at a critical moment that determines the future destiny of Daxia.
He must take the initiative to express his stance, ask for battle personally, and demonstrate his strength.
When the imperial court really suppresses the rebels in the future, although the Xu family did not participate in the rebellion and had no contact with the rebels, His Majesty will not punish them, but will definitely ignore them.
The Xu family is a loyal family, loyal to the Great Xia court.
He didn't want to tarnish his father's reputation because of the Great Xia Rebellion. Before Chu Feng replied, Xu Qi continued, "Prince Ning rebelled, and I am extremely angry and heartbroken, but the Xu family has nothing to do with Prince Ning!"
After saying that, he lowered his head.
Waiting for your Majesty's response.
[Destiny Choice 1: Activate Duke Xu. ]
[Choice of destiny 2: Do not use Duke Xu. ]
The appearance of destiny's choice made Chu Feng happy.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qi's meeting with him this time triggered a destiny choice.
This choice is a choice about the future destiny of Xu Guogong's lineage.
"Duke Xu was a founding hero of Daxia. He has made great contributions and is the most meritorious official of Daxia. I have been influenced by him since I was a child. I have heard Taizu talk about how he and Duke Xu fought in the south and the north. I admire him very much. The rebellion of Prince Ning is Prince Ning's business and has nothing to do with Duke Xu's lineage."
Chu Feng said.
His words made Xu Qi feel relieved.
"After all, this is the chaos caused by Prince Ning."
Chu Feng said: "During this troubled time, the military strength in various places is limited, and we really need strong men to guard the place."
"Wherever Your Majesty tells me to go, I will go!"
Xu Qi said seriously.
"Among the enemies around Daxia, apart from the decisive battle in the north, the most powerful one is the enemy in the East Sea guarded by Duke Ling. Although I sent the Black Flood Dragon, it is still not enough."
Chu Feng said: "This time, I will ask you to go to the East China Sea to assist Duke Ling in guarding the East China Sea and fighting against the various sects!"
Xu Qi can be used.
But it cannot be released to the North.
One reason is to avoid accidents.
Second, the East China Sea does need strong people.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Qi received the order: "For the sake of Daxia, if the clans on the sea want to cross the East China Sea defense line, I will fight bloody battles to the end. If the East China Sea is breached, they must cross over my corpse!"
He was extremely grateful for the emperor's grace.
He was also extremely grateful that His Majesty did not let him go to the North and not participate in the decisive battle of the Daxia civil strife.
This is also the respect from his father.
So that he can shed his blood on the battlefield against foreign enemies.
It also preserved his father's posthumous reputation.
The East China Sea is indeed the most suitable battlefield for him.
Moreover, he was ready to die in the East China Sea.
If his death could save the family's future.
He is willing to do so.
The lineage of Duke Xu cannot be dragged down by Prince Ning.
"Xu Qi will fight to the death for me in the East China Sea."
Xu Qi received the emperor's order and left immediately.
Xu Qi had no choice. For the sake of the Xu family and his father's posthumous reputation, he had to fight to the death.
The reason for employing him was not only because of his status as Duke Xu of the previous generation, but also because Xu Qi had no contact with Prince Ning when the civil strife broke out, and he kept the Xu family members under control very well.
"The main defense of Donghai is ready."
Chu Feng muttered to himself.
[Host makes choice 1 and obtains the Blood-Slaying Sword Pool as a reward.]
"Blood-Slaying Sword Pond?"
At this time, Chu Feng saw the Blood-Slaying Sword Pool rewarded by the system.
This is a pool several meters wide.
A strong smell of blood wafted out.
The sword pool is blood red.
And inside the sword pool, there was actually a pool of blood-red blood.
In the sword pool, there are sharp swords stained with blood.
"Good baby, great killer!"
Chu Feng could tell that Jian Chi was extraordinary.
And this artifact is a top-grade celestial artifact.
The scary thing is that as the Blood-Slaying Sword Pool continues to kill and absorb blood, its power will continue to increase, and it can even transcend grades and burst out with power comparable to that of a reincarnation artifact.
It's the real murder weapon!
"The Blood-Slaying Sword Pool, kill the enemies for me, and it must be used on the bloodiest battlefield!"
Chu Feng looked cold.
Feel the power of this bloody weapon.
This time, the choice triggered by Xu Qi brought him a big surprise.
at the moment.
The atmosphere was tense.
After Wang Jian and his men rested in Yanzhou for a while, they gradually advanced their entire army to Dingzhou.
When we first entered Dingzhou, we did not encounter the main force of the rebels.
Wang Jian knew that the rebels did not set up border defenses because they were waiting for them to advance to the main battlefield chosen by the other side before taking action.
But Wang Jian and his men were also strictly following the strategic deployment and advancing steadily.
But at this time.
At the northern border, a large number of people appeared.
There will be three updates tomorrow, plus one more.
