Seeing that the situation was urgent, Zhang Ren immediately said to Liu Zhang,""Jiameng Pass is in danger. Generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei might not be able to hold them off. Zhang Ren will bid farewell to the lord and head to Jiameng Pass to resist the enemy. As for the Eldest Young Master, he would stay in Chengdu to recuperate.”
"Father, Jiameng is in an emergency. How can I be afraid of death? "I'm willing to go to the front line with General Zhang Ren to defeat the enemy." Liu Xun heard Zhang Ren's words and actually wanted to stay in Chengdu to recuperate. This Liu residence was full of traps, so he couldn't stay here any longer.
" Xun 'er, is your body alright?" Liu Zhang saw that Liu Xun was unwilling to stay in Chengdu and did not suspect him. Instead, he was a little worried about his health.
" I'm fine. The poison has already gone away. I'll be able to fight the enemy in a few days. Don't worry, Father," Liu Xun said. In order to show that he could do it, he even stood up and walked a few steps.
"This prescription of mine was passed down by Old Immortal Zuo Ci. When the immortal master accepted me as his disciple and passed on the prescription to me, he said that I would use this technique to ensure the safety of my Yizhou. He also said that I could turn misfortune into good at any time in this life. Now that Yizhou is in trouble, how can I, the son of the Prefecture Overseer, sit idly by?”Liu Xun had an awe-inspiring look on his face. Seeing that Liu Zhang was in awe of Zuo Ci, he went with the flow. He simply used the flag as a tiger's skin and called Zuo Ci his master.
"Since Old Immortal Zuo Ci has spoken, I have nothing to worry about. "Follow General Zhang Ren, I wish you all a triumphant return." Liu Zhang didn't notice the mistake in Liu Xun's words. He heard that with the old deity's guarantee, he had nothing to worry about.
" My lord, I recommend a person who can help General Zhang Ren and Eldest Young Master retreat." Zhao Wei took a step forward." General Lei Tong is quite proficient in military strategies and is very experienced in martial arts. With him around, Eldest Young Master will be safe."
" Alright, General Zhao Wei. Xun 'er has never been on good terms with you. For you to have such intentions, it's clear that you're right." Liu Zhang was also a bastard. He knew that the other party was not on good terms with Liu Xun, but he did not know if the other party had bad intentions, so he approved Zhao Wei's suggestion.
Not long after, Lei Tong came to report and went out with Zhang Ren and Liu Xun.
This Lei Tong was eight feet tall, his voice was like a great bell, and his arms were very powerful. He used a pair of golden melon hammers and looked to be seventy to eighty pounds. He should be a brave general, and his eyes looked somewhat sinister.
Liu Xun felt that this Lei Tong was somewhat familiar, especially his eyes. He felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"So it's him. No wonder the masked leader's thick machete didn't feel good that day. This Lei Tong used to use a golden melon hammer, so he naturally didn't feel good after changing his machete. Since you dared to enter my military camp alone, you either wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate me or collude with the enemy. No matter what, if I let you succeed so easily, I wouldn't be called Liu Xun anymore. After thinking through this, Liu Xun pretended not to know and secretly planned to kill him.
It was obvious that Zhao Wei had sent Lei Tong to Liu Xun's side to plant a spy beside him. If Liu Xun exposed Lei Tong as the leader of the masked men, but could not produce any evidence, then all the masked men would be dead except for Lei Tong.
Secondly, even if Lei Tong's identity was exposed, Zhao Wei would still come up with another vicious plan. It was better to beat him at his own game.
" Commander Lei, it's rare for you to be so loyal. After we defeat Zhang Lu's army, I will definitely recommend you to my father," Liu Xun probed.
" You still want to retreat from Zhang Lu's army? I'll let you die in the chaos." Lei Tong laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he said humbly," Lei Tong is the lord's man and is willing to listen to the eldest young master's orders.”
" That's easy to say. With a talent like General Lei, I'm like a fish in water." Liu Xun laughed on the surface and put on a harmless expression.
" You're still like a fish in water. In a few days, I'll turn this fish of yours into boiled fish fillets." Lei Tong's pair of sinister triangular eyes kept flashing with an evil light, and he had a smile on his face.
After leaving the dungeon and bidding farewell to Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren immediately gathered 30,000 elite soldiers and headed straight for Jiameng Pass.
On the evening of the third day, Zhang Renjun arrived at the foot of the pass. Yang Huai and Gao Pei put down the suspension bridge, and the switch connected Zhang Ren, Liu Xun, and the others.
" Zhang Ren is considered a famous general of Yizhou. Why did he drag Liu Xun, this young master, to the front?" Yang Huai was confused. He took the opportunity to ask Zhang Ren about the situation while there was no one else around.
" Brother Yang, you might not know this, but the Eldest Young Master is a genius of the current era. He is definitely not as weak as the rumors say," Zhang Ren said with a smile.
"Why would Brother Zhang say such a thing? This kid was just a playboy. In the entire Shu, from a three-year-old child to an eighty-year-old man, who didn't know his actions?”Yang Huai didn't think much of it." Let's not talk about what happened in the early years. Just three years ago, he kidnapped a girl, forced a family of three to death, and set fire to Yicui Brothel. These things aren't fake, right?"
"That's all in the past. Let's just let it go. " Besides, we didn't see those things with our own eyes. Maybe someone framed us," Zhang Ren said." I saw what happened recently with my own eyes. Young Master is really a genius!”
He told Yang Huai everything about how Liu Xun had fought Liu Chan with his Thunder Light True Qi, how Liu Chan, who had fought with Qi-Jin realm, had been seriously injured, how he had foreseen that Zhang Lu would definitely send troops to attack, how he had used the medical skills taught by Great Immortal Zuo Ci to remove the strange poison, and so on.
If it wasn't for Zhang Ren telling this story, Yang Huai would never have believed it. All these incredible things had happened to Liu Xun, and his impression of this young master had unknowingly changed.
"Brother Yang, the lord is a weak person and trusts Zhao Wei and the other crafty villains. " Second Young Master Liu Chan may seem decisive, but he's actually headstrong and self-righteous. If this continues, our Yizhou will definitely be ruined." Zhang Ren said the most important words." We have to help Eldest Young Master become the ruler of Yizhou. This way, you and I won't become prisoners in the future.”
" Brother Zhang is right. I'll do my best to assist Liu Xun. I hope he's really talented." Yang Huai had always trusted Zhang Ren. When Zhang Ren was young, he had become a disciple of a strange person and learned some physiognomy, so he had always been very accurate in judging people.
While they were talking, there was a commotion outside. Soldiers came to report that the torches under the city were bright as day. Zhang Lu's army came to fight and asked to meet Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, Liu Xun, and the others climbed up the city tower and saw a fire below the city. A general was riding a tall horse and holding a spear. He was shouting back and forth," People in the city, listen up. I am Yang Ren, the vanguard of the Han Dynasty. Please come out and answer me."”
Zhang Ren was about to answer when Liu Xun tugged at the corner of his shirt and whispered,""The general is the commander of the three armies.”
Liu Xun shouted loudly," I am the commander of Jiameng Pass, Zhang Ren. Yang Ren, listen up. If you have something to say, say it quickly." Liu Xun shouted at the top of his voice. The tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides heard his words, and Yang Ren's expression turned ugly.
"I heard that Zhang Ren is a Confucian general. Why is he speaking so rudely? Although the person on the city gate couldn't be seen clearly at night, his voice didn't sound too old, and he was quite a distance away from Zhang Ren. Yang Ren was puzzled and couldn't figure out who dared to impersonate Zhang Ren. He shouted,"Who are you? How dare you impersonate Zhang Ren? Ask Zhang Ren to answer."
Seeing that his trick had been seen through, Liu Xun did not hide it and said generously,""Your little grandpa is the eldest son of Yi Prefecture's Overseer, Liu Zhang. I'll be the future Overseer of Yi Prefecture.”
"So you're that idiot young master who fights cocks and dogs. I've long heard of your name. You don't have the right to speak to me."
"Zhang Ren, listen up. Liu Zhang is weak and will be captured sooner or later. Didn't you hear that a good bird chooses a tree to live in? My master said that as long as you abandon the darkness and join the light, he will let you lead my Han army. If they didn't obey, on the day the city was breached, all the men and women in the city would be killed.”
"How funny, how funny. Some people are still boasting shamelessly when they are about to die. Surnamed Yang, go back and tell that Zhang Lu, who relies on the shadow of his ancestors, to submit to my Lord as soon as possible so that the lives of the people will not be plunged into misery.”
Zhang Lu was a descendant of Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Daoling relied on drawing talismans to treat the people and established the Five Buckets of Rice Path. He had some prestige in the court and was admired by the Han people. The people called Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi. Legend had it that this Tianshi Zhang was the disciple of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. He could fly in the sky and hide in the ground, calling the wind and summoning the rain. Although Zhang Lu's prestige was not as high as Zhang Daoling's, he still had a lot of prestige in the Five Buckets of Rice Path. Liu Xun's words made Yang Ren's lungs explode with anger.
Zhang Lu's general, Yang Bai, took advantage of Liu Xun's words to shoot an arrow at his throat.
Zhang Ren reached out to catch the arrow, but Liu Xun stopped him," No need, I have a way."
When his Genuine Qi was pushed to the extreme, lightning and thunder were all over his body. His tendons bulged like electric snakes, and his whole body made a series of crackling noises. His eyes turned red, and a bolt of lightning flashed. None of the techniques in the world could be so eye-catching.
At this moment, Liu Xun was like a god descending from the heavens. The arrow had come in a hurry, but the person who had shot it was only at the early-stage True Jin.
With Liu Xun on guard, how could the arrow hurt him?
Three feet away from Liu Xun's neck, the arrow was charred by the lightning energy, leaving only the charred lower half. It fell powerlessly from the city gate tower to the ground.
Han and Yizhou's troops had yet to come back to their senses. They were all stunned. In fact, Liu Xun's true strength was only at Qi-Jin Lefeng. He couldn't even defeat Zhang Ren. However, the lightning true qi was too eye-catching. Other than a few people who had followed him before, no one had seen it before. Everyone was shocked.
" He's like a god descending to the mortal world," a soldier beside Liu Xun muttered, reminding him.
"In the end, these ancient people are still relatively ignorant and undeveloped in science. Why don't they pretend to be gods and scare them to achieve the goal of subduing them without fighting?”
Liu Xun's Genuine Qi began to circulate wildly, causing his hair to stand on end. The sound of thunder became even more violent, and snake-shaped lightning bolts kept darting out of his body with astonishing momentum.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Liu Xun circulated his zhenqi and shouted,""I, Five Buckets of Rice Dao disciples, listen up. I am the eldest disciple of Grand Supreme Elder, Heavenly Teacher Zhang Daoling. I am very disappointed that my descendant, Zhang Lu, is unworthy and can not pass on my orthodoxy. Liu Xun, the son of Liu Zhang, the overseer of Yizhou, has a good root and a good character. He is the direct descendant of Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty. I have specially passed on his Five Buckets of Rice Path's divine technique, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart, and appointed him as the sect master of the Five Buckets of Rice Path to preach on my behalf. All disciples of the Five Buckets of Rice Path must obey his orders. Otherwise, they will be killed by both humans and gods. After they die, they will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell and will never be able to reincarnate.”
Especially the last sentence, it was too lethal. The followers of the Five Buckets of Rice Path were mostly ignorant people. These people had suffered in life and were afraid of going to hell after death. The Five Buckets of Rice Path usually deceived them with this, and they believed it without a doubt.
After hearing Liu Xun's words, the people below the city wall immediately knelt down and said," Cult Master, we are willing to listen to your orders and follow you to the death.”
" This kid is a fake, not the cult master. Don't fall for it." Yang Ren shouted several times and killed several cult members, but it was useless. He knew that the situation was hopeless, so he turned his horse and left.
" Open the city gates! Everyone, attack! We won't kill anyone who surrenders!" Zhang Ren gathered his strength and shouted. He was at the Void Jin Realm. This full-powered attack could be heard for miles in the silent night sky.
