Zhuang Gaoxian's words were half true and half false. Emperor Yongming's death back then was suspicious. The death of the crown prince was definitely part of a conspiracy. As for whether it was his brothers or his uncle Han Yin who killed the crown prince, it was hard to say.
However, there was at least one point. When Emperor Yongming died in battle, Zhuang Chengqian was still guarding the manor and could not have received any orders. Moreover, Han Yin had indeed turned the tide. Under the attack of the Jing Kingdom, he had managed to defend his territory without losing anything. There was no such thing as using huge amounts of wealth to buy the Jing Kingdom's retreat. If the Jing Kingdom could swallow up the Yong Kingdom, they would not give up no matter how much wealth and resources they were given.
In these years, the Yong Kingdom had indeed been on the decline, but it was mainly because of the Jing Kingdom's suppression and not Han Yin's incompetence.
Zhuang Chengqian, who took advantage of Emperor Yongming's death to establish the country, became the most loyal and even the only official. To protect the bloodline of Emperor Yongming, he fought a bloody battle in the Qichang Mountain Range. How touching was this?
When this shocking 'secret' came out of Zhuang Gaoxian's mouth, it would shock anyone who heard it.
"As a ruler, one must be sincere and respect the heavens and the people!"
Han Yin waved his sleeves and nine golden dragon images circled around him. "The Zhuang family is despicable. They stole the land of Yong and called themselves a country. Everyone has abandoned them! Today, when Your Majesty sees the son of Yong, instead of begging for forgiveness, you actually use your mouth? "
There was no benefit for him to be entangled in this topic. No matter how he tried to cover it up, he had stolen the throne from his nephew and had not obtained the country properly.
As such, he categorized these words as bullshit and scolded Zhuang Gaoxian for using his mouth and not being fit to be a ruler.
He even punched out, shaking the heavens and earth.
In an instant, starlight fell from the sky and covered Zhuang Gaoxian in a dense rain of light.
The sky shook as if the stars in the distance were being stirred up.
"Can your slippery tongue break through my Dragon Sealing Pass? Can it save your life? "
Han Yin pressed forward. It was as though the entire world was behind him, crushing everything in its path.
"You can't speak well and your fists are weak." Zhuang Gaoxian smiled and faced the rain of light. "Han Yin … you are old!"
…
…
Yong Kingdom's Shun An Prefecture, Ningyuan City.
The black-haired old man stepped out from the void.
"Zhuang Country's Du Ruhui pays a visit to your honorable place!"
Black light swirled around his fist as he punched out.
Ningyuan City's great city protection array had activated a light screen in an emergency, faintly trembling.
And from the south, a tyrannical aura was rushing over.
Du Ruhui didn't even try. With a turn of his feet, he appeared in the Yong Kingdom's Southern Rural Manor. This time, it was not in the prefecture, but in front of a small county.
He stomped down from the sky, unleashing the power of a top-notch Ascension God expert without reservation. With a single strike, he flattened the entire county. The magistrate of the county had no time to react before he died tragically in the collapsed county office.
There were powerful auras approaching from both the south and the east at an astonishing speed.
Du Ruhui was expressionless. With another turn of his feet, he appeared in the eastern part of the State of Yong, in the prefecture of Fuchun.
This time, it wasn't even a county. It was just a village. Du Ruhui showed no mercy and directly waved his sleeve, raising a blazing sea of fire. Then, he turned around and left the sea of fire amidst howls of anguish.
He didn't allow his movements to follow any pattern, nor did he have a clear goal, because that was the path to death.
He himself didn't know where he would appear, only within the boundaries of the State of Yong, allowing his abilities to descend at random. And no matter where he appeared, no matter what he faced, he would attack without hesitation.
He roamed the interior of the State of Yong alone, using the tens of thousands of Yong commoners as hostages, forcing the State of Yong to dispatch a large number of experts to surround and kill him.
Up until now, there were already four Marquises of Yong participating in the encirclement. He moved faster and faster, and his opportunities to attack grew fewer and fewer. Often, he would have to leave as soon as he appeared.
He still hadn't exchanged blows with any of the Marquises of Yong. It seemed like he was leisurely strolling through a courtyard, but he knew his own situation. Once the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart was restricted, he would likely be the first to fall under the siege of four Ascension God experts.
There had already been several Marquises of Yong chasing after him. The situation had never been stable. He was actually walking on the edge of a cliff, on the brink of extreme danger.
However, he was extremely calm, his face devoid of sorrow or joy. He only needed to do his own thing well.
As long as everyone in the State of Zhuang did their own thing well, they would be able to defeat the State of Yong! He firmly believed in this.
By restraining the fighting power of the four Shendu from Yong, he had already accomplished his strategic objective. The only thing he needed to do now was to prolong this pursuit and delay his own defeat. Then, he would leave the outcome to the others from the Zhuang Kingdom.
… …
Du Ruhui was the prime minister, and Huangfu Duanming was the general. They had worked together for many years.
To the Great General of Zhuang, Huangfu Duanming, at this moment, there was nothing he needed to consider. Kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent. That was all.
Even if he was facing two Marquises of Yong alone.
Even if his armor was shattered in many places and his battle robes were dyed red with blood.
He was an unwavering advocate of war. Facing the State of Yong, which frequently provoked him on the border, he had endured humiliation for so many years. He only hated that his guandao wasn't fast enough and his fists weren't hard enough.
A general was the courage of three armies. He wouldn't lose any of his courage.
The battle that would determine the fate of the State of Zhuang for the next hundred years was at this moment.
He wouldn't allow himself to fear death in the slightest!
The glory and glory of a general's life were at this moment.
He raised his guandao. Although he was clearly heavily injured and weak, he still attacked repeatedly, as if he had the upper hand.
… …
The Jiujiang Xuan Armor Commander, Duan Li, was clad in heavy armor and wielding a pair of iron maces. He faced the Marquis of Chengde, Li Ying, head-on.
Li Ying was one of the more senior marquises in Yong. When he was young, he had participated in quelling the Rebellion of the Three Princes. He had great prestige in the army. He wasn't like the Marquis of Huaixiang, Yao Qi, who had been beaten down by the Yong court in recent years and harbored resentment.
He didn't hold back in the battle, killing Duan Li left and right. If it weren't for the White Feather Army Commander, who had turned his Drawing Blade into a streak of blade light and circled around him, Duan Li would have been dead already. He would have already killed Duan Li in front of the formation.
The two commanding generals were both top-notch experts, but they were still nothing in front of Li Ying. Victory was only a matter of time.
Even though Yong's number one Ascension God, Duke Beigong Yu, was pinned down in the Lanhe Underwater Prefecture, and Prime Minister Qi Maoxian was held back in Jingan Prefecture by the Crimson Horse Guards.
However, in this battle with the State of Zhuang, the top-notch experts of Yong still held the absolute advantage.
Yong had one duke and eight marquises, a total of nine Divine Realm experts. The entire State of Zhuang only had Du Ruhui and Huangfu Duanming.
When Han Yin personally stepped forward to fight, Yong's foundation was fully displayed, showing off its strength. There didn't seem to be much suspense in this battle at the Dragon Sealing Pass.
There was no suspense in the outcome of the battle between Zhuang and Yong. This was the message that Han Yin wanted to convey.
Looking at the entire battle, the State of Zhuang's only advantage was its army.
Unlike the State of Zhuang, which had been prepared and secretly gathered for a long time, the State of Yong broke through in one day.
The State of Yong had been peaceful for a long time. Aside from suffering losses in their conflicts with the State of Jing, most of the time, they bullied their neighbors and enjoyed peace. This time, the State of Yong suddenly accepted the challenge. However, they couldn't gather at the pass so quickly.
The State of Zhuang's two powerful armies, the Jiujiang Profound Armor and the White Feather Army, didn't form a military formation and participate in the battle between the top-notch forces. Instead, they joined the tide of three hundred thousand soldiers, surging wave after wave toward the pass.
The will of the Zhuang army's commander was very clear — he didn't care about sacrificing lives to break through the pass in the shortest amount of time.
