However, there was still an unyielding flame burning in the depths of his eyes.
"Old Man, goodbye."
After saying that, Mount Liu boarded the carriage and returned to Ning An City.
The Left Prime Minister's faction left with a frown on their faces, including the general of the Soaring Eagle Cavalry.
Fang Yun looked towards the south and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Soaring Eagle Cavalry getting smaller and smaller. He turned around and entered the carriage.
The Jade Sun Pass was extremely important as it connected Ning An City and the capital city. Once the Jade Sun Pass was breached, Jingguo would become the first country in the history of the Ten Nations to be besieged by the barbarians.
Fang Yun fell into deep thought as the carriage's wheels rolled over the ground, producing a rumbling sound.
The barbarians would arrive at the city tomorrow and there would be a battle comparable to the Battle of Bi Can. In some ways, it might even be better. After all, the demon kings and emperors did not participate in the Battle of Bi Can.
Not long after, Zhang Poyue sent a letter.
"I asked Tong Luan just now. Do you know why he did this?" Zhang Poyue asked.
"Tell me." Fang Yundao said.
"Hey! You're in a high position now but you won't even say 'I don't know' or 'Please enlighten me'! "
"Yes."
Fang Yun's mind was all on the battle and he was not in the mood to joke. Zhang Poyue was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. He said that his grandson had died, but he could not seek revenge. He could not die in vain. He had to let his grandson die a worthy death. Therefore, he used this as an opportunity to seek refuge with Liu Shan. Elder Brother Tong is really amazing. I just asked around, and no one knows about it, from the Empress Dowager to me! "
"His grandson was instigated by the Left Prime Minister's faction to target me. He took revenge on Mount Liu." Fang Yundao said.
"Now that I think about it, it's been five years! He endured for five years and removed all the spies from the Jade Sun Pass during Jingguo's most dangerous time. It's admirable. This great merit was enough for him to advance his official rank. Sigh … it has been five years since I left Jade Sea City. You gave me the 'Sun-Reflecting Lotus Flower Bie Yanghong', and I gave you the Eagle Cang. You also kept your promise and went north to save me. Time flies. Five years ago, who would have thought that things would turn out like this? "
"I haven't wasted these five years."
The corners of Fang Yun's mouth curled up before returning to normal.
With the danger of Yuyang Pass and Soaring Eagle Cavalry resolved, Ning An City no longer had anything to worry about. The operation of the entire army became smoother.
The sun rose and the moon set. A new day had arrived. Fang Yun climbed up the expanded north city wall at noon, looking forward with many scholars and soldiers.
Under the blue sky, the Barbarians were like ants, covering the grassland.
A huge Demonic Barbarian Blood Flag that was several hundred meters long and wide was fluttering in the sky. The Demonic Barbarian Blood Flag exuded boundless power, and its aura even surpassed that of an Emperor and was close to that of a Half-saint.
This was a Demonic Barbarian Blood Flag that could only be formed by over a hundred million Demonic Barbarians. This level of Blood Flag could bring endless power to the Demonic Barbarians.
As long as there was this level of Blood Flag, any Demonic Barbarian Emperor would be immortal. As long as there was a drop of blood left, the Emperor would be able to quickly regenerate, and the damage they suffered would be evenly distributed to over a hundred million Demonic Barbarians.
Once the number of Demonic Barbarians exceeded a billion, the Demonic Barbarian Blood Qi would be equivalent to a Half-saint treasure!
The Demonic Barbarian Blood Flag was one of the reasons why the Demon Realm could dominate the ten thousand worlds.
The two Emperors, one Barbarian and one Demonic Barbarian, were at the very front, with the Wolf Saint Army following closely behind. Behind them were the various Barbarian tribes and other Demonic Barbarian reinforcements.
"Look at the center of the army." Zhang Poyue's voice was somewhat strange.
Fang Yun's gaze had already landed there, because there was a tiger pelt there.
This tiger pelt was three thousand meters long!
Countless Demonic Barbarians raised the Half-saint tiger pelt, constantly moving forward.
That tiger pelt was the Holy Throne of the Demonic Barbarian Half-saint, Lang Lu.
The huge tiger pelt seemed to have a terrifying power, and all the humans who saw it were shocked. They saw a translucent giant tiger slowly stand up from the tiger pelt, roaring at Ning An City.
The city was about to crack, and the sky was about to collapse.
Fang Yun gently blinked, and the giant tiger illusion dissipated.
Ding ding dang dang …
On the city wall, the sound of weapons falling to the ground could be heard everywhere.
Many of the soldiers' faces turned pale, and some of the new soldiers were so scared that they fainted, urinating and shitting.
"Hahahaha …" Many Demonic Barbarians laughed loudly, and some Great Barbarian Kings even deliberately transmitted their voices to the sky above Ning An City.
"Human slaves are indeed trash!"
"They can't even hold their weapons properly when they see us. If we really fight, they can only kneel down!"
"These little bastards are not even enough for me to swallow!"
Many Demonic Barbarians began to curse, trying to undermine the morale of the humans.
However, most of the scholars were unmoved, and many of the ordinary soldiers were angry and annoyed, holding back a desire to kill the Demonic Barbarians.
Fang Yun only gave a slight signal, and orders were sent to the whole army, calming them down.
Then, the humans sent people to curse in the Demonic Barbarian language, and soon Zhang Poyue, who had nothing to do, also started to curse.
After all, the scholars of the Human Race knew how to curse better. Many Demonic Barbarians were so angry that their eyes turned red, and they wanted to attack the city immediately.
The two sides were far apart, and it would be nighttime for the Demonic Barbarians to set up camp. According to the usual practice, they would attack the city tomorrow, so Fang Yun did not particularly care about today.
After seeing the appearance of the Demonic Barbarian army, Fang Yun ordered the Grand Scholar on duty. Just as he was about to go down the city wall, he received an important letter.
Left Prime Minister Mount Liu's mother was critically ill, and could pass away at any time.
Mount Liu lived on the streets since he was young, and was later adopted by the Liu Family in the same city. Although the Liu Family was not a prominent family, it was still a big one. His mother did not mistreat Mount Liu. After discovering Mount Liu's talent and intelligence, she did her best to cultivate him. She even treated him better than the Liu Family's own son, and this was a legend in Willow City.
After Mount Liu became an official, he was very filial to his mother. Although he could not go back to Willow City often to serve her, he often wrote letters home or sent various items by mail, and even sent gifts during festivals. After Father Liu passed away, Mount Liu was even more attentive to his mother, and all the people in Willow City praised him.
Because Mother Liu did not want to leave Willow City, she did not go to the capital. She was originally in good health, but more and more people criticized Mount Liu, causing her to be depressed.
Mount Liu had tried his best to stop Mother Liu from inquiring about the outside world, but she still heard about what happened in Ningan City today. She knew that Mount Liu and Fang Yun had a falling out, and that Mount Liu was called "your mother's servant" by Zhang Poyue. Mother Liu, who was always competitive, scolded him, "What a waste of a son", then vomited blood and fainted.
Fang Yun looked up at Mount Liu, who was on the city wall, and found that more and more people were looking at him.
Mount Liu's expression did not change, and he continued to look into the distance, as if he did not know what had happened.
Fang Yun looked up at the sky.
The influence of Jingguo's fate was beginning to show.
The closer people were to Mount Liu, the more they would be hurt.
Zhang Poyue looked at Mount Liu, snorted, and continued to scold the barbarians.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Liu, I just learned that your mother is critically ill. Although Ningan City is in danger, a scholar cannot change the situation. If you are worried about your mother's condition, you can go back to your hometown. "
After all, Fang Yun did not add insult to injury when his mother was in danger. Instead, he did what he should do as a colleague.
Zhang Poyue and the others also did not attack Mount Liu at this time.
Mount Liu said slowly, "I appreciate Fang Xusheng's kindness. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be loyal and filial. Jingguo is in danger, and the Old Man is dedicated to serving the country, so he can only give up the country for the small family. Moreover, I have already sent people to treat her with the best medicine and the best doctor. Even if I go back, it will be useless. I can only resign myself to fate. "
"Fine," Fang Yun said.
