Chapter 804: Chapter 634: Taking Heluo City Without Bloodshed
Gu Changsheng was taken aback by the words, a trace of heaviness involuntarily appearing on his face!
Yuan Bao!
That plump waiter, during her most destitute tis, it was the evildoer and his arrival that she relied upon! Though at first, she was unwilling, human relationships often lose their original intention as ti passes. Now, she is the evildoer’s fiancée, and Yuan Bao has beco like family to her!
“Must be saved…” Gu Changsheng didn’t turn around, only muttered a sentence and continued forward.
Leaving Manman suspended in mid-air, shaking his head in a sigh.
Southern Border had already been in chaos for months due to her arrival, and the Central Plains had also been engulfed in turmoil due to her dispatch of troops. Gu Changsheng, situated in the Southern Border hinterland, didn’t know about the outside world but could imagine it.
Over a thousand Gu won on Three Palaces Peak were ready to depart, while Phoenix Flying Peak across remained shut tight.
Gu Changsheng, clad in a red dress, holding her little chubby bundle, looked back slowly with calm brows and eyes, “I will return, I will co back and bring Southern Border a peaceful era!”
Gu Taitian raised his head at her words, his gaze towards his daughter faintly glistening.
Southern Border’s current state, it’s inevitable there are reasons for her cold-eyed observation, but his daughter…
If everything is destined, then his daughter might fill the regrets and guilt of his two lives…
“Elders in charge of Three Palaces stay behind, everyone else, accompany northward!” Utterly serene, having spoken those words, Gu Changsheng took the lead, walking down the mountain.
Behind her, over a thousand Gu won lined up!
The overseeing elder watched them depart.
Great Swamp Mountain, still the sa Great Swamp Mountain, the mountain road steep, surrounded by towering peaks.
Mountain after mountain, peak next to peak, forming a continuous stretch.
When Gu Changsheng ca, she carried a heart of slaughter, and when she left, Great Swamp Mountain remained unchanged, but many people accompanied her.
She found her precious son and rediscovered her father she hadn’t seen in two lifetis!
She learned the secret of why she could be reborn, and she knew the aning of the Heavenly Dao Cangmi!
Is it all predestined or is it a variable? Even Gu Changsheng couldn’t tell!
She only knew that now behind her were over a thousand accomplished Gu won of Southern Border, all masters! She only knew that henceforth, she was not only Prince Changsheng of Great Zhou in the fertile land of Central Plains, Zhou Mu’s fiancée, but also the ruler of the land she tread!
The King of Southern Border in this barren and treacherous place!
No words to rally the troops, no commanding presence, all she could do now was reclaim Heluo City and its million troops at the fastest speed, and then… then march north!
To find her friends, to find her man…
To find those loved ones fighting on the battlefield for her stubborn resolve!
Traveling day and night, after several days of marching, luckily the elder left in charge of Three Palaces was reliable, arranging provisions ingeniously along the way without delaying Gu Changsheng’s ti.
Gu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this.
One dynasty’s Son of Heaven, one dynasty’s court officials, to her, to Southern Border, was no easy matter.
Upon knowing the cause of Southern Border’s turmoil, she even more wished to leave a sliver of hope for others and a sliver of hope for herself!
The Gu Ancestor Lineage was sitting back, hoping to benefit as a fisherman upon others’ toil, mainly because Southern Border was chaotic, but the people’s hearts remained steadfast!
In this barren and treacherous land, Southern Border’s citizens steadfastly held onto their original faith and purity, even if it’s not as pure as Manman envisioned, compared to Central Plains, it’s still sowhat superior!
Gu Changsheng deeply felt this upon arriving at Heluo City.
Among the Three Palaces, the elder in charge of the Commander’s Seal was an elderly Gu woman nad Loh Loh Yao. Gu Changsheng had long moved from initial amazent at the peculiar surnas and nas of Southern Border to now seeing them as normal!
Loh Loh Yao held the military token for the million troops at Three Palaces Peak, her power significant, it was said she was once a confidant of the Gu Ancestor Lineage.
However, the Gu Ancestor Lineage’s downfall was too heroic, greatly impacting Elder Loh Loh Yao, so when it ca to ordering Heluo City to withdraw troops, she did it very well, having quite the desire to atone by deeds!
When Gu Changsheng arrived at Heluo City, the city gate was already wide open, and the Heluo Clan within the city had been bound in rows at the city gate.
The military and civilians of hundreds of thousands in the city were bowing, while the Heluo Clan, tied up like zongzi, looked ashen-faced.
After clicking his tongue, Gu Changsheng went to the main hall of Heluo City, and seeing the dense crowd of female officials, quickly asked where the siege army he brought was!
Not asking, not knowing, it was only asked because of surprise; it must be said, the Heluo Clan of Heluo City being tied up like zongzi was well-deserved, in short, it can be sumd up with one word: deserved!
Gu Changsheng traveled alone to Great Swamp Mountain, leaving Yue Xilou to command two hundred thousand troops belonging to the Southern Border to deal with two million soldiers and civilians from Heluo City. However, this Heluo Clan had a strong army in hand and lacked patience. Following Gu Changsheng’s instructions, Yue Xilou did not deploy troops, but they could not hold back and took the initiative to attack out of the city.
Gu Changsheng did not want unnecessary casualties, Yue Xilou understood her intentions and seeing the attack, had no choice but to retreat!
This retreat didn’t matter at first, but it continued for several days without stopping, Yue Xilou retreated without fighting each ti, and the Heluo Clan directed their million-strong army to pursue relentlessly with high spirits each ti!
This…
“What the hell!” Gu Changsheng was speechless for a mont about this and finally decided to ask a critical question, “Where exactly did that army chase after?”
“To the north! To the north! The initial battle reports said the siege army had already retreated past Gana City and went towards Hongluo City in the north!” The manager of Heluo City, cold sweat dripping, quickly answered, fearing that if he answered slowly, his head would be lost to the new master!
Although the new master of the southern border is particularly beautiful and gentle, her fierce reputation for conquering the southern border is already well-known!
People cannot be judged by appearance!
Upon hearing it was towards the north, Gu Changsheng’s face imdiately turned bright and cheerful! He propped his chin, pondered for a mont, and nodded repeatedly, “Hmm! My Flower Peacock’s retreat route is quite good, retreating a few more cities would enter the range of Red Rock City!”
During her ti traveling thousands of miles to the Great Swamp Mountain to assist the king, her Flower Peacock had not been idle, thanks to her advice that no battle should be waged. Presumably, this retreat was quite soul-stirring and exciting!
“Like this, it coincides with the route you want to take.” Gu Taitian, knowledgeable about the southern border, understood Gu Changsheng’s aning without needing to look at a Geomancy Map. His face, bright and clear, imdiately revealed a gratifying smile.
While the father and daughter spoke lightly here, the manager of Heluo City was already drenched in cold sweat, kowtowing repeatedly in fear, “My lord need not worry, Elder Loh Loh has already rushed over with the Military Token, and even if the numbers of the two armies are disparate, if Elder Loh Loh arrives in ti, there should be no great casualties for your lord’s army…”
Gu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this.
After days of urgent travel from the Great Swamp Mountain to Heluo City, the little at bun, busy gnawing on a chicken leg, raised his little head upon hearing this, glanced at the manager, and pouted, “You’re overthinking…”
The manager, hearing this, beca increasingly terrified; it was rumored that this little Zhuangzi was now the legitimate son of the new master of the southern border, the new master of the Three Palaces, and could not be provoked!
Gu Changsheng glanced at her son, who continued happily gnawing on the chicken leg, and nodded seriously, “Indeed, you really overthink it!”
Damn it, Yue Xilou’s troops, though only two hundred thousand, were indeed outnumbered by the million troops chased out from Heluo City in terms of numbers. However, in terms of strength… had it not been for the instruction not to wage war, the fleeing and pursuers would have likely swapped roles! After all, the six maids accompanying her were still following her Flower Peacock alive and well!
Those six lovely ladies, taught by her, were not easy to deal with…
Thinking of this and Yue Xilou’s retreat route, Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows, glanced at the little at bun and Little Monk Bu Jie, who were snatching chicken legs, sighed, and said, “Stop snatching, pack up, we’re going to Red Rock City at the edge of the Southern Border Hinterland to et Flower Peacock.”
After days of mountain roads and big pot als, these two picky children have beco so hungry, how disgraceful!
Gu Changsheng firmly believed, compared to when they were in Liuzhou City, her Little Monk Bu Jie seed more profound and mysterious, nothing like the current… disillusionnt!
“Red Rock City? You an, my lord?” The manager of Heluo City quickly asked upon hearing this.
“Yes, go to Red Rock City.” Gu Changsheng nodded and pointed to the Geomancy Map on the table, “My Flower Peacock led the army to retreat to the edge of the Southern Border Hinterland, leading with them the Southern Border’s million-strong army, which saves a lot of trouble.”
Saves ti too!
She only needs to rush for the reunion!
“My lord must not! Heluo City has just been received, the Southern Border has just initially changed hands, if you don’t seize the opportunity to secure Great Swamp Mountain, there could be changes!” The manager of Heluo City imdiately panicked, and the few female officials temporarily in charge of Heluo City also voiced their dissent in agreent.
“The revival of the Phoenix Imperial Clan is imminent, at such a ti, the sovereign leaving Great Swamp Mountain is inappropriate, and if leaving the Southern Border Hinterland again, the new Southern Border Dynasty is not established, the power might lead to chaos, which is not advisable!”
“Not advisable, extrely not advisable! Please reconsider, hurry back to Great Swamp Mountain, reshape the Southern Border’s imperial power for stability!”
“Indeed! With Elder Loh Loh there for support, there shouldn’t be any big issues at the front lines, there’s no need for the sovereign to personally go, the sovereign should prioritize the millennium foundation of the Southern Border, hurry back to Great Swamp Mountain to stabilize the Southern Border Sacred Land!”
“…”
As the largest city on the outskirts of Great Swamp Mountain, besides the Heluo Clan tied up like zongzi, these female officials are quite reliable, and their suggestions are reasonable!
But…
