"You have to know that my father was invincible back then. It only took him half a year to destroy your West Shu.
A country is like this, let alone a city. However, the 100,000 soldiers in the city blocked my father's cavalry for three years.”
Chen Beixuan could imagine the intensity of the battle.
Qin Ziyan pouted when she heard the mention of West Shu, but she did not refute.
Because this was the truth.
"In the end, all the food in the city was eaten up, and the water source was cut off by my father. Half of the people in the city starved to death.
In the end, on the day the city was breached, none of the soldiers guarding the city survived. Only 200,000 out of the million people in the city survived. It was a tragic sight.”
Qin Ziyan's expression changed. She found it hard to imagine what kind of situation it was.
Who was it that was able to hold on for three years without any water source?
"The person guarding the city is Zhou Kunxiong, a famous general of the Spring and Autumn Era. One of the three great masters of war in the Spring and Autumn Era is from your Western Shu, one from Great Chu, and the other is Zhou Kunxiong.”
"If it wasn't for such a famous general, how could he have stopped my father for three years?”
"The three of them each had their own merits in terms of using troops. They were called great masters, but in the end, they were all defeated by my father, a crude martial artist. They all ended up dead.”Chen Beixuan smiled.
The Spring and Autumn Period was full of wars, but it was also an era of heroes. Countless heroes showed their talents, but they were all drowned in the tides of history.
However, even though he had grown from a soldier to the current Northern Region King, no one called him a great person. They would all curse him behind his back.
Because during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were a total of two million soldiers who died in battle.
A total of more than a million died in Chen Kui's hands.
This was how the title of God of Slaughter came about.
Qin Ziyan was also a little absent-minded when she heard this. It was as if she was reminded of what happened when she was young. A hint of sadness could not help but appear in her eyes.
Chen Beixuan quickly changed the topic."
" By the way, Zhou Kunxiong studied at the Yin-yang Academy in his early years. His realm wasn't high, not even as high as my father's. He was only at the Third Stage Realm, but he was very good at arranging troops.”
"However, the most important thing is that he has a younger brother named Zhou Kunlun, who is a martial arts grandmaster.
When the city was broken, he was traveling around the world. At that time, he was already famous in the martial world.”
"But even though the city was breached and Zhou Kunxiong died in battle, his younger brother didn't react at all.”
"Zhou Kunlun's cultivation base has reached a very high level after all these years.
However, after so many years, he had never heard of anything like revenge. It was probably a huge hidden danger.”Chen Beixuan said with a smile.
Qin Ziyan pouted.”
"It's good, but I'm afraid that some people will be sad.”Chen Beixuan joked.
Qin Ziyan's face turned slightly red as she spat,"
"Shameless, who would be sad for you?”
"That's hard to say. Just look at those young ladies on the Qingyang Lake, they were all winking at me.
If I die, they might be the ones who will be the saddest.”
"Young Master is right. I think those young ladies will really be heartbroken.”
Old Wang said from outside the carriage, spoiling the mood.
Chen Beixuan did not say anything. Instead, he narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he looked at Qin Ziyan.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.
When Xiangyang City was breached, hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City died.
These people were reluctant to leave Xiangyang City and became vengeful souls, unable to reincarnate.”
"I heard that even at night, you can still hear the wails of the vengeful souls in Xiangyang City. Those are the cries of the dead.”
"That's why this city was once called Ghost City.”
Qin Ziyan was timid to begin with. When she heard such a terrifying thing, she was very afraid.
However, in order not to let that hooligan look down on her, she still pretended not to care.
Chen Beixuan knew what she was thinking, but he did not expose her. Instead, he explained,"
"However, I heard that after the Li Dynasty incorporated Xiangyang City into their territory, they set up a huge altar in the city to ferry the hundreds of thousands of vengeful souls in the city.”
"I heard that there are Daoists from Mount Longhu stationed there all year round, and they even invite some accomplished monks to perform rituals. I think those vengeful souls won't dare to be too arrogant.”
"You're the son of the Northern Region King. Every debt has its owner. If you go, I'm afraid they'll eat you up.”Qin Ziyan said quietly.
Chen Beixuan smiled helplessly.
This girl even believed in such things.
Soon, they arrived at Xiangyang City.
However, compared to Spring Dragon City, Xiangyang City's welcoming standards were too low.
It wasn't even at the level of welcoming a prince.
Only a few minor officials came forward with apologetic smiles.
Lian Yang frowned and gripped the large knife in his hand.
"Alright, Big Brother Lian, at least they sent someone to welcome you.”
Chen Beixuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled.
Speaking of which, the Crown Prince was just a title. There was still the day when he would inherit the title.
Besides, it was still uncertain whether Chen Beixuan would be able to inherit the title of Northern Region Lord.
Chen Beixuan got out of the carriage and smiled at the few shabby-looking officials.
"Go back and tell those officials above rank four that I won't be going to their banquet.”
With that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Qin Ziyan and Old Wang also got off the carriage and followed.
These words were very interesting. Previously, at Qingyang Lake, the group of officials and businessmen had said that they had set up a banquet, but these were all polite words.
He said he wasn't going because he wanted to remind those people.
How did their precious son survive?
Xiangyang wanted to give him a show of strength and let these petty officials humiliate him.
He wanted to see if he could completely trample Xiangyang under his feet.
"It seems that what happened at the lake was not enough.”Chen Beixuan said quietly.
Once they reached Xiangyang City, it would be inconvenient to bring another eight hundred black-armored cavalry.
So, Chen Beixuan asked Lian Yang to arrange for the 800 cavalry.
He only brought three guards, Old Wang, Qin Ziyan, and Miao Fangfang.
"Your Highness, why don't we follow? This is King Qingyang's territory after all.”
Lian Yang was very worried.
If the King of Qingyang were to go crazy, everyone in Xiangyang City would be his men.
However, Chen Beixuan shook his head. Putting aside his Rank One cultivation, Old Wang was still here.
Who in Xiangyang City could stop those who dared to challenge the Martial Saint?
Lian Yang could only nod his head and go settle these 800 black-armored cavalry.
"Where are we going?"
Qin Ziyan asked in confusion.
"Let's go take a look at the world-famous altar. You must know that it's the largest altar in the Li Dynasty.”Chen Beixuan said with a smile.
