Chapter 316: Both sides are arguing and are going to fight again?

Due to the long-term continuous intake of Tianxing powder, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan gradually developed an assimilation phenomenon with Tianxing. The benefit of this assimilation is very significant, that is, it can greatly accelerate the healing process of his body.

Moreover, the closer to the star, the stronger this magical effect becomes. It is no exaggeration to say that even though the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was severely injured and only had a trace of breath left, as long as he was placed near the star, he could achieve the effect of resurrecting the dead. In this regard alone, it is indeed quite close to the legendary immortal body.

Because of this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was determined to return history to its original trajectory. However, there are certain side effects in this state - the life of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan is closely linked to Tianxing, and they are inseparable. The better the condition of Tianxing, the better his own condition will be; and vice versa. More importantly, Tianxing has been intertwined with the cycle of the whole world. In this way, a delicate relationship of mutual dependence is established. When Gao Yao proceeds according to his own will, it is equivalent to destroying history in disguise, which is essentially equivalent to causing damage to Tianxing, and thus endangering the life of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

As for Gao Yao now, he can only be sure of one thing, that is, there must be some connection between the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan and Tianxing, and there must be a great connection between him and the so-called historical track, otherwise the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan would not work so hard.

At this moment, inside the imperial army camp, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was bandaged and the impact of his injuries on his strength was negligible compared to Gao Yao. Even in the worst case, it would only weaken his combat power by about 30%. What was even more gratifying was that in just over a month, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was able to completely recover and return to his original state.

"General, General Li Xin has arrived." A soldier came to report.

"Please invite the old general in!" Yi Xiaochuan, who was sitting in the tent, responded hurriedly.

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.

Not long after, Li Xin walked into the tent with steady and powerful steps. He walked up to Yi Xiaochuan with a solemn face, unexpectedly bowed to him and shouted loudly: "General!"

Such an action was extremely rare for Li Xin. After all, Li Xin was a famous general of his generation, and he was a senior figure to Meng Yi. In addition, he also served as a general in the army. If Meng Yi only led the Northern Border Army, perhaps the gap in status between the two would not be too big, but now that he was in the central army of the court, in terms of identity and status, Meng Yi was indeed far less prominent and respected than Li Xin.

Li Xin saluted the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan because he was giving face to the Meng family. Even if he didn't say anything, it was just a matter of formal courtesy. Even if Qin Shihuang was resurrected, he would not bother with Li Xin about this matter. However, he saluted the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan today because of the previous battle with Gao Yao. This battle also shocked Li Xin. Just based on the performance of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, he was definitely a fierce general of the time.

Others may not have such keen insight, but Li Xin can see the clues at a glance. In fact, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan is even stronger, and his high martial arts level is indeed worthy of Li Xin's attention.

"Old General, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to break through the city gate today? Gao Yao has been severely injured by me. Now is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to attack the city!"

At this moment, the attitude of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was not friendly at all, and one could even clearly feel a strong sense of rebuke from his words.

"General, do not underestimate the enemy! Our army has come a long way and has been through a lot of hardships along the way. This is not the best time to attack the city. Not to mention that both sides are injured in this battle, but the Xia County defenders are well-rested and the city is well stocked with all kinds of defense supplies. They will definitely not fall into chaos in the short term. At this moment, if our army attacks rashly, I am afraid we will not gain any advantage."

"Besides, General, didn't you already have a plan? Even if we launch an offensive, it's just a feint. The real main attack force is the team led by Zhang Han that raided Nanhai County. Our goal is to make it impossible for the Southern Border Army to take care of both ends."

Listening to the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's angry and anxious words, he could still understand that although he suffered such a serious injury, it would not affect his ability to fight in the battlefield, but it would still affect his condition. It was natural for him to be so angry.

"Gao Yao is here now. We should adjust our main attack target. The reason why the Southern Territory has become such a serious threat is because of Gao Yao. As long as Gao Yao dies, the rest of the Southern Territory army will be leaderless and become a mob. They will be vulnerable!"

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's state of mind must have had an impact. From the beginning to the end, the only person he wanted to get rid of was Gao Yao. Because in his opinion, only by making Gao Yao completely disappear from this world can all problems be solved. As for the so-called conquest of those disobedient and disloyal people on behalf of the court, it was just a high-sounding excuse.

"General, this matter cannot be rushed! Gao Yao has been severely injured by you in front of the two armies. Under such circumstances, the morale of the enemy army must be greatly reduced. At this moment, we just need to wait for a while. When our army has rested and recovered to its best condition, I will personally lead the army to capture Xia County in one fell swoop!" The old general said earnestly.

"Well, what the old general said is absolutely right. Meng Yi will keep it in mind. Let's follow the old general's advice." The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Yes!" With a response, everyone began to act step by step.

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan still couldn't hide his anger in his heart. Although he didn't show it too much on the surface, only he knew the ups and downs in his heart. He originally thought that he could defeat Gao Yao smoothly this time, but he didn't expect that the opponent was so tenacious and his strength was far beyond his expectations.

Gao Yao was seriously injured because of underestimating the enemy, which was indeed within Yi Xiaochuan's expectations. But if you think about it carefully, he also made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. If not, how could he have been in a stalemate with Gao Yao until now and still failed to completely defeat him?

However, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was still able to quickly adjust his mentality. After all, from a certain perspective, Yi Xiaochuan at this moment could be regarded as an out-and-out "old monster".

Normally, his mentality is rarely disturbed or affected by external factors. But surprisingly, because of Gao Yao, this special person, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's mood has repeatedly fluctuated, and he was even on the verge of losing control. The reason behind this is that for a long time, everything has been under Yi Xiaochuan's precise control, but now, a series of situations that are completely beyond his expectations have suddenly emerged.

After some self-adjustment, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan finally successfully recovered his previous calm and good mentality, and naturally adopted the suggestions made by Li Xin. Before this, although the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had long regarded Gao Yao as an enemy, he had never really put the other party on the same level as himself.

After this battle, even a man like Yi Xiaochuan, who thought highly of himself, had to admit with all his heart that no matter from which aspect, the powerful ability displayed by Gao Yao was enough to be compared with his own, and he could be regarded as a strong opponent who was equally matched and should not be underestimated.

Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan also knew that he still suffered a loss in this battle, because he failed to lure Gao Yao into being deceived, but instead he revealed a lot of things. Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan now dared not underestimate Gao Yao, and his words revealed a lot of things, some of which were true or false. Regardless of whether they were true or false, the most important point was inseparable from Tianxing's point.

Moreover, Gao Yao also knew about the explosion of Tianxing, which meant that Gao Yao was also very likely to know the relationship between Tianxing and the elixir of immortality, which forced the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan to be on guard. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not think that someone would not be interested in immortality, but in the previous conversation with Gao Yao, Gao Yao obviously knew these things but had no interest in immortality, which was what he could not understand.

On the next morning, the rising sun had just cast a few rays of warm light, and the imperial army, which had rested well the whole night, had already started to move. They quickly assembled, with flags flying and swords and spears standing in a row, and once again formed a tight formation in an orderly manner, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the city of Xia County.

At the same time, the tightly closed city gate slowly opened, making a dull sound. Then, the sound of horse hooves exploded like thunder, and a large number of cavalrymen suddenly rushed out from Xia County. These cavalrymen were dressed in fine armor, holding sharp spears, and they were all heroic and imposing.

This sudden scene made Li Xin, who was standing in front of the battle formation, slightly stunned. He stared at the southern cavalrymen who were lining up, with his eyes wide open, thinking to himself: "What's going on? They clearly dealt a heavy blow to Gao Yao yesterday, why do they dare to come out of the city to fight today?"

At this moment, a burly and majestic general stood out from the crowd. It was Erniu. He shouted loudly: "I am the general who fights against the barbarians in the southern border. Who dares to fight me?" His voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the battlefield. Then, he shouted the same words several times in succession, and each time it seemed to carry endless power and challenge.

"Dongdongdongdong... Dongdongdongdong..." As the deafening sound of war drums suddenly sounded, Erniu rode out without hesitation. He was seen holding a heavy long sword, the blade flashing with cold light, like a flash of lightning across the sky. Erniu had a heroic look on his face, his eyes wide open, and rushed straight towards the imperial army, shouting provocative words.
