After the discussion with the Dragon Soul, Trace the Dragon Soul led a group of soldiers to the northwest corner of Xindu City. He believed that Trace the Dragon Soul would have to worry about obtaining an official position.
Before and after Trace the Dragon Soul approached Yang Rui, there were many large player organizations or groups that approached Yang Rui one after another. Three or four of them were very famous and ranked very high. However, they were all rejected by Yang Rui with the excuse that he was not back yet.
The players were not sure if Yang Rui was in the inner city of the three prefectures of Xindu City, so they could only wait. These players originally came to ask Yang Rui for help. Naturally, they did not want to force him. For several days, the players stared at the four gates of the inner city of the three prefectures. However, they did not see Yang Rui enter or leave. Therefore, the players all settled down in Xindu City.
Of course, Xindu City was currently a "player's city". Most of the players and player organizations did not come for Yang Rui. Compared to the two factions in Guang Zong City, Xindu City was full of vitality.
Players from the two factions clashed with each other, and players from the same faction traded freely. This was happening all the time around Xin Du City and within the city! There were battlefields everywhere outside the city. At any time, the opposing faction could be annihilated to obtain Merit, Points, and all kinds of items. Or, they could be annihilated. Inside the city, every corner was filled with stalls. Players exchanged items according to their own needs. Some players even specialized in small businesses.
At this time, Yang Rui was really not in the inner city of the three prefectures of Xindu City. He had gone offline.
In his previous life, Yang Rui had looked at the game's built-in forums. Although he had entered the game late, Yang Rui still knew a little about the general progress of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Yang Rui remembered very clearly that the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended in the beginning of September of the seventh year of Guang He. There was still about a month and a half left. Based on this, he deduced. The [Battle of Guang Zong] area storyline should have been delayed for a long time.
It was also because of this that Yang Rui felt at ease and went offline once! Avoiding players' visits was only a small part of the reason. However, there were a few more pressing matters in the real world that Yang Rui wanted to go offline to deal with. Now, he could take advantage of the stalemate in the Guang Zong War to deal with it!
The current ratio of real time to game time was 1: 12. Therefore, from the moment he logged off, Yang Rui had not stopped at all!
First of all, there was the matter of the nutrient solution in the game cabin. Although he had bought quite a lot of it last time, ever since Yang Rui started practicing the inner force cultivation method, the speed at which he consumed the nutrient solution had always exceeded his expectations. This was especially so after he started practicing the beginner inner force cultivation method. The speed at which he consumed the nutrient solution was almost like drinking water. This caused Yang Rui to have no choice but to urgently replenish the nutrient solution!
After Yang Rui logged out of the game, he quickly washed up and went to handle this matter. On the way, she didn't forget to call Ren Sisi. This was one of the things that Yang Rui needed to do when he logged off. He took advantage of the free time to do it. However, Yang Rui couldn't get through to Ren Sisi's phone. The other party's phone was turned on, but no one answered!
Yang Rui wanted to ask if the other party had encountered something in the real world that caused her to log in to become irregular. However, he couldn't do it! However, this point increased Yang Rui's doubts. With Ren Sisi's personality, even if the phone was turned off, there would be an automatic message explaining the reason. If the phone was turned on and she didn't answer, then she should be working!
The third thing Yang Rui did when he was on the way to buy the nutrient solution! First, he bought 10 anonymous mobile phone SIM cards from a roadside stall as backup. Second, he went to a few sales centers and second-hand housing markets along the way and obtained a large amount of electronic information about the sales of houses in XY City!
Yang Rui did this because he was inspired by the Dragon Soul. During this transaction, the other party had actually guessed Yang Rui's situation! This also made Yang Rui a little vigilant. He had to leave a way out. One must know that Yang Rui had traded a Rebirth Pill * soul. He believed that the Dragon Soul would discover the value of this item sooner or later. When that time comes, it might even find Yang Rui to ask for an explanation!
Actually, Yang Rui had already realized from the start that this Rebirth Pill was very likely to be a hot potato! However, after Yang Rui knew of its use, he couldn't give it up. In the end, he decided to keep it!
If the Dragon Soul really wanted to find Yang Rui to ask for an explanation, he hoped that by that time, Yang Rui would have enough strength to deal with it. Or he would simply make it so that the other party couldn't find him! For this reason, Yang Rui prepared to exchange some real money after the Yellow Turban Uprising. He wanted to exchange for everything that could be exchanged, including housing, mobile phones, various electronic services, etc!
After he was done with this. Yang Rui called Xiaohui offline and asked her about the situation of her basic Neigong cultivation. Xiaohui's physical condition was also one of the main reasons why Yang Rui went offline. Ever since they used the game capsule, the number of times they went offline had decreased. Yang Rui didn't know if it would have any negative effects on Xiaohui's body!
Seeing that Xiaohui's mental and physical condition was very good. Yang Rui was relieved. Moreover, Xiaohui had already started to cultivate the basic Neigong cultivation method. Yang Rui originally wanted to tell her that the effects of the Neigong cultivation method could be brought into reality, but after thinking about it, he didn't mention it!
It was undeniable that Yang Rui had hopes for the Neigong cultivation method. He believed that it would be of some help to Xiaohui's body! Yang Rui's physical skills had been greatly enhanced after cultivating the Neigong cultivation method. Xiaohui's situation should be similar! However, whether it would have an effect or how big the effect would be was still unknown. Therefore, Yang Rui decided not to tell Xiaohui about it for the time being. He didn't want her to be disappointed!
After finishing everything, Yang Rui spent a total of three hours. In addition to the two hours he used to apply to go online, Yang Rui had only been away for less than six game days.
When Yang Rui went online, the situation in Xindu City hadn't changed much. The three prefectures' inner city was still very quiet. Before Yang Rui went offline, he had arranged for Li Dong and the rest to stay in the inner city of Xindu City. It was a good opportunity for them to recuperate. Therefore, for the past few days, all the Generals and soldiers were holed up in the inner city, not going anywhere.
According to Li Dong's information, Guang Zong City was also in a state of stalemate. The four factions of the Han Court had tried to attack the city several times, but they were all defeated by Zhang Jiao. Without any countermeasures, they could only continue to besiege the city!
If this situation continued, it wouldn't be good for either faction! Guang Zong City's Huang Jin would run out of food sooner or later. No matter how strong Zhang Jiao was, he shouldn't be able to create rations out of thin air. Therefore, the Huang Jin in Guang Zong City might be trapped to death. Although the Han Court's factions didn't have to worry about the rations, the Han Court was urging them from behind. It would be fine if they delayed for half a month, or even a month or two, but if they delayed for too long, they wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from above!
Therefore, the Huang Jin faction had been mobilizing all the factions in Ji Province to harass the four factions of the Han Court. While the four generals were besieging Guang Zong City, they were also actively preparing to attack the city. The small scale battles between the two sides never stopped!
This caused the main forces of both sides to be concentrated in Guang Zong City and the surrounding Qu Yang and Ying Tao regions. The strength of both sides wasn't strong in other places! Of course, Xindu City was an exception. Quite a number of players from both factions had always gathered here!
After Yang Rui went online, he didn't do anything for a while. There were many players outside the inner city waiting for him to appear. To these players, Yang Rui didn't dare to reject them. It was very likely that he would anger many people, so it was better to avoid them and leave!
However, before leaving, Yang Rui went to look for Prince An Ping Liu Xu again. Previously, Yang Rui had given him an ultimatum, asking him to think about it for a few days! During the few days that Yang Rui wasn't online, Liu Xu had been under house arrest in the Prince An Ping Residence, and Li Dong and the others were secretly watching over him.
"Prince An Ping, what do you think? If there's still no result, I can only leave Prince An Ping to the Han Court! Prince An Ping has been in cahoots with the Huang Jin faction. I'm afraid that the Han Dynasty's Spirit Emperor won't be so polite to Prince An Ping! "
The two of them met. Yang Rui directly laid out the pros and cons. "I can give Prince An Ping one last chance. Hand over your private stash as compensation for your freedom. Then, Prince An Ping can immediately regain your freedom. After that, Prince An Ping can do whatever he wants with Gao Haikuo! If Prince An Ping isn't willing to take this path, I can consider giving you a quick death. This will save Prince An Ping from falling into the hands of the Spirit Emperor in the future. It will only increase the pain of the flesh! "
"Uh …"
Facing Yang Rui's "chi"
The Prince of Anping, Liu Xu's expression became somewhat unnatural at the blatant threat. Seeing this, Yang Rui knew that there was a chance. He paused for a moment before saying, "This one does not dare to blackmail the Prince of Anping. You only need to pay a suitable price for letting you go!"
"Uh …"
Yang Rui had been "chatting" with Prince An Ping Liu Xu for a long time. They already knew each other well. Now that Yang Rui had spoken to such an extent, Liu Xu said something after careful consideration. It actually involved a secret! The content involved was something that Yang Rui would never have thought of before!
The two of them talked for more than two hours. It was close to evening when Yang Rui finally put Prince An Ping Liu Xu away. Though he didn't get anything from him, Yang Rui didn't make things difficult for Liu Xu. He also didn't intend to hand him over to the Spirit Emperor.
After dealing with Prince An Ping Liu Xu, it was night. Yang Rui quietly gathered his soldiers and prepared to leave. There were no more benefits to be gained from staying in Xindu City. Moreover, they were constantly being watched by players from other factions. It wouldn't be convenient for them to leave the city and kill the Yellow Turban Rebels!
The other soldiers were still manageable. They could be stored in the storage ring. However, Yang Rui's 1500 Fourth Grade knights were a huge target. They caused quite a commotion when they left the city. Many player factions immediately learned of this news. However, they weren't sure if Yang Rui was among these knights!
Yang Rui left the city and headed west. Soon, he was followed by many players! Ever since the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline broke out, it wasn't difficult for the larger player factions to obtain a few riding skill books. Naturally, some of the players had mastered the riding skill.
Even though Yang Rui ran as fast as he could and tried his best to shake off the pursuers behind him, he didn't succeed! Though most of the Yellow Turban Rebels' main force had gone south to reinforce Guangzong City, it was still within the Yellow Turban faction's sphere of influence. There were still many small groups of Yellow Turban Rebels. It would take some time to get rid of these Yellow Turban Rebels!
Thus, the players behind Yang Rui were able to follow along. There were even 50000 players from various factions following along! Inadvertently leading such a large number of players was something that Yang Rui didn't know and wouldn't have thought of!
On the other hand, Yang Rui traveled for two days. Along the way, he exterminated many Yellow Turban factions. He also recovered many villages and towns for the Han Court faction. On this day, he just so happened to arrive near Tangyang County, which was the border between Anping Country and Julu County. After some investigation, Yang Rui discovered that the defenses of Tangyang County were also very lax. The four gates were wide open, and people of all kinds were going in and out. It was much more lax than Xindu City!
He had the experience of Xindu City. Yang Rui's confidence had also increased. Now that he was excited by the opportunity, Yang Rui wanted to repeat the same trick and try to take this city!
With this thought in mind, Yang Rui had Li Dongshuai's 1500 Fourth Grade knights carefully hide in a secluded forest about five kilometers away from the east gate. He only needed to wait for chaos to break out! Yang Rui himself hid by the side of the road outside the east gate. Coincidentally, Yang Rui soon sneaked onto a carriage that was transporting goods. Moreover, he wasn't discovered when he passed through the east gate of Tangyang County! Yang Rui was able to enter Tangyang City!
After entering the city, the carriage stopped several times along the way. Finally, it stopped in a courtyard and no one paid any attention to it. Yang Rui only found out when he poked his head out. He was already in the inner city! Even the Great Sigh could get lucky sometimes!
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
With such a heaven-sent opportunity, Yang Rui released the soldiers from his storage ring. The inner city instantly fell into chaos, and shouts of killing could be heard everywhere! However, there was a limited number of Yellow Turban soldiers in the city. Yang Rui soon exterminated the Yellow Turban faction and successfully took control of the entire inner city!
"Attack!"
"Kill!"
The commotion wasn't small. Yang Rui just had time to place the soldiers on the city walls when the Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city began their counterattack! Looking around, there were more than thirty to forty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. It was even more than when they were in Xin City!
"Whoosh whoosh … whoosh …"
However, Yang Rui already had the experience of defending the inner city, so he was quite familiar with it. He placed most of the archers at the four city gates to prevent the threat of the battering ram. The city walls were difficult to climb with bare hands. Almost all of them were handed over to the soldiers!
In this way, the Yellow Turban soldiers didn't have any effective way to attack the city since they lacked siege weapons! Only a yellow-turbaned general under the southern gate was brandishing his long spear so tightly that it was impenetrable. He continuously used special skills, and dark red energy flowed out with his moves. This person actually had the strength of a mid-level general. He blocked the dense rain of arrows and was about to reach the city gate!
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
Yang Rui was itching to fight. At the same time, he was worried that the Yellow Turban general would be a threat to the city gates and was about to stop him. However, he heard shouts from afar. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the outer city walls. Yang Rui couldn't help but feel suspicious and didn't make a move for the time being.
The Yellow Turban soldiers near the inner city were shocked. Under the command of the Intermediate General, they quickly stopped attacking the city. After reorganizing themselves, they turned around and charged towards the outer city! At this time, the shouts from afar had obviously entered Tangyang City. They were getting closer and closer, and soon, they collided with the Yellow Turban army!
Yang Rui already knew that Han Ting's reinforcements had arrived. He also mobilized most of the melee soldiers to charge out of the inner city and engaged the Yellow Turban soldiers in Tangyang City! More than an hour later, they met with Li Dong's Fourth Grade cavalry. Yang Rui then cooperated with them and charged back towards the inner city!
"System Announcement: Han Ting Faction player Blazing Sun has participated in the retaking of Tangyang City in Ji Zhou's [Battle of Guangzong] storyline. Special reward: 10,355 Achievement Points (double), 10,355 Points (double), and 100 Reputation! This announcement is hereby made! We hope that all players will continue to work hard … "
After receiving Li Dong and the Fourth Grade cavalry, Yang Rui didn't continue to fight after returning to the inner city. Instead, he went straight to the treasury, the county magistrate's office, his residence, and other important places to conduct a detailed search! In less than an hour, the system announcement of the retaking of Tangyang City came. The Yellow Turban soldiers in the city had been cleared out!
"System Notification: Players from the Han Ting faction have traced the Dragon Soul to Ji Zhou's [Battle of Guang Zong] storyline and participated in the retaking of Tang Yang City. Reward: 568 Merit Points (double), 568 Contribution Points (double), and 5 Reputation! This announcement is hereby made! We hope that all players will continue to work hard … "
However, the system announcement didn't end there. A long string of announcements continued to appear! When Yang Rui received Li Dong, he had already realized that the so-called 'Han Ting Faction reinforcements' were actually the numerous players following behind him!
