Chapter 936 – Sibling Conversation

The difficulty of the Shu Lands paths was greater than ascending the heavens.

No one thought that the Great Xia was actually going to attack Swordsman City. Hence, Di Chen and the others’ first reaction was, “Is there a scheme within?”

Di Chen was familiar with their misdirection tactic.

It was not them making random guesses but that the Guards Legion Corps, and even the 3rd and 5th legions of the Dragon Legion Corps were not moving.

Hence, the atmosphere in the wilderness was getting weirder and weirder.

When Great Xia had not sent out their troops, the Yanhuang Alliance greatly craved for Ouyang Shuo to reveal his puzzle. When Great Xia sent out their troops, Yanhuang Alliance was still in a tough spot, as they did not know how to react.

“Let’s just wait and see!”

Di Chen and the others had no idea, so they could only suppress the nervousness in their hearts.

……

Jiangyang Prefecture, Swordsman City.

No matter what the others were thinking, Feng Qingyang was truly anxious and could not keep calm anymore.

Upon learning that the Dragon Legion Corps had struck, his mood was like ten thousand horses running around in his heart.

With the two legion strong strength of Swordsman City, they definitely could not match up to Great Xia, so they could only ask for help. However, the reaction of Di Chen and the others was just, “Calm down, we will not move our troops yet.”

Feng Qingyang could not help but scold out, “Who cares about your dog sh*t plan Z; go to hell!”

Feng Qingyang decided to seek protection from the Shu Han Dynasty.

“Brother, no!”

The one who stopped him was Feng Qingyue.

“Oh?”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Feng Qingyang’s face. Ever since he started to train in the devil technique, his personality had changed. Although he had trained in seclusion for a while, he was still different from before.

Previously, Feng Qingyang really trusted his smart sister. Now, when she opposed his decision, Feng Qingyang showed impatience.

Apart from the cultivation technique, it was also because of some rumors within the territory.

During the time that Feng Qingyang was in seclusion, Feng Qingyue took control.

Although it was just half a year, she gained the trust of the officials and generals, and they felt her ability exceeded that of her brother’s.

When Feng Qingyang took back control, many of them grumbled.

Facing such words and rumors, Feng Qingyang, who loved face and reputation, was naturally furious. As a result, he felt annoyed with his sister and was not as close to her as before.

Feng Qingyue could only treat it quietly; no one could understand the pain in her heart.

Although that was the case, she still needed to speak up, “The battle has just started. Great Xia has only sent out two legions. If we choose to bow down to the imperial city like that without resisting, what would outsiders think of our Feng Family?”

“Continue.”

“The only way is to rely on our own troops to survive their first wave of attacks.

If it is as what Di Chen and the others said, and they are using misdirection, all will be good.”

At this point, she paused. It was like she was trying to guess what the true intentions of Great Xia were, “If they really want to go all the way with us, Di Chen and the others will have no choice but to help us. If they do not, they would have betrayed their promise.”

“At that time, we will have no choice but to seek help from Shu Han. At the brink of life and death, be it the territory generals, the officials, or outsiders, no one can say a thing.”

Feng Qingyue’s words were really rational and Feng Qingyang could not disagree.

Thinking about it, he asked, “Then what do you think their reason for moving their troops is? Are they acting, or do they truly want to kill us?”

Feng Qingyue’s expression suddenly became really solemn. After a long while, she said bitterly, “In my opinion, they are truly moving out.”

“Why!” Feng Qingyang was anxious, “We have no animosity with them. During the last altercation, we gave them a city, so what do they want?”

Feng Qingyue shook her head, “I cannot say a reason; it’s just my intuition.”

“Intuition?”

Feng Qingyang really thought his sister was going crazy.

“Big brother, think about this; their best target would be us or King City. On the surface, it is better for them to attack King City but that is not actually the case.”

“I cannot see the reason.”

Feng Qingyue explained, “They have one entire province and four legions. With the Tiger Legion Corps, even with all their strength, they might not be able to take down the entire province.”

“Then we have the Shu Han army as our shield, wouldn’t they consider this point?” Feng Qingyang was not a fool and retorted.

In fact, during their first conflict, Swordsman City had showed signs of working with the Shu Han Dynasty.

Feng Qingyue said, “That’s only one. There’s also another reason, which is the fact that Zhan Lang’s Blood Red City neighbors King City. If King City is attacked, Zhan Lang would definitely help out.”

Feng Qingyang nodded.

“Furthermore, Wandering Magic was brought up by Xiong Ba. Hence, even if Di Chen and the others choose not to help, would he?” Feng Qingyue asked.

Feng Qingyang’s face was a little gloomy, “That dog, if the master has problems, he would not mind dropping his city and helping out.”

As he said that, Feng Qingyang could not hide his bitterness. Compared to Xiong Ba, who had so many people to rely on, he was alone in the alliance.

On the surface, Chun Shenjun was his ally, but Feng Qingyang did not trust him.

As he thought about it, Feng Qingyang calmed down, “Since that’s the case, order the 2nd legion to defend the frontlines and the 1st legion to wait for orders.”

During this round of military movement, Swordsman City had moved the 2nd legion housed in Badong Prefecture to guard the south of Swordsman City.

As for the 1st legion, they naturally defended the city. They defended their home.

The Shu Lands had many mountain paths and passes. As such, although the Great Xia split their troops into two paths and sent out two legions, they could not make use of their numerical advantage due to the land shape.

Feng Qingyue nodded, agreeing with her brother’s plan.

Feng Qingyang still did not feel good, “Although we are saying that, we must still make some preparations. I’ll send someone to contact Shu Han so that they are ready to help at the crucial moment.”

“Okay!”

Feng Qingyue really did not want to walk that final step, but she could not stop him.

…

Along with Swordsman City temporarily not making any large movements, the seismic battle in China slowly started in a low-profile manner.

The violent battle of the Shu Lands had officially begun!
