Chapter 121 Convergence
The noise coming from the foot of the mountain made all the people hiding in the forest stop talking. Tian Xuan used the light skill of Cloud Phantom to soar into the air. He stepped lightly on the tall tree trunk with his toes, and then he did a graceful somersault and landed on the crown of a tree that was more than ten feet tall.
His eyes penetrated the gaps between the leaves and looked towards the foot of the mountain.
What came into view were several Yan army cavalrymen, each with a swan feather stuck on their helmets. Although they were wearing the standard armor of the Yan army, Tianxuan could tell at a glance that the armor on these knights was much stronger than those of the soldiers in the coalition camp.
"The imperial guards of King Xi of Yan?"
Tianxuan, who was no longer a novice on the battlefield, took a quick glance and guessed the whereabouts of these Yan cavalrymen, and spoke in a hesitant tone.
"It seems that Yan Fei succeeded!"
"Exactly!"
Before Tianxuan finished speaking, a noble and elegant sound suddenly rang in his ears. Along with it, there was also a faint and elegant fragrance that Tianxuan was particularly familiar with. Caught off guard, Tianxuan stumbled and almost fell from the tree. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a delicate jade hand reached out and helped him up.
"Yan Fei, you!"
After regaining his footing on the treetop, Tianxuan turned his head. As expected, Yan Fei's beautiful and noble face came into view. Almost falling from the treetop, Tianxuan, who was ashamed and angry, looked at Yan Fei who suddenly appeared beside him, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to yell.
"what happened?"
Yan Fei relied on her superb Qinggong skills, which were more than one level higher than Tian Xuan's, to appear beside him. The four eyes crossed, and the Yin Yang family heir caught the anger in Tian Xuan's eyes, and the thin corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiling. The moment their eyes met, Tian Xuan felt that Yan Fei's eyes were like a bottomless pool, and the anger that had just risen in his heart was extinguished instantly as if it was poured with a bucket of ice water.
"How did you find me?" Tianxuan reacted, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked as if nothing had happened.
Yan Fei's pair of jade feet stood firmly on a tree trunk as thick as a bowl. The cold wind acted on her gorgeous skirt, highlighting her graceful beauty, like the fairy Gushe in mythology. Facing Tian Xuan's questionable words, Yan Fei raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and said proudly:
"I wasn't looking for you. I was just following the envoy sent by King Xi of Yan. When I came nearby, I sensed that something was wrong with this forest. I didn't expect to see you when I came in!"
"I see." Tianxuan knew that there was an insurmountable gap between his cultivation and Yan Fei's, and nodded in understanding.
After answering Tianxuan's question, Yan Fei, standing on the treetop, looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes like sapphires, as if she wanted to break through the thousands of mountains and rivers, cross the icy Yishui River, and reach the Yan-Dai coalition camp on the other side of the Yishui River.
"As you wished, King Xi of Yan really suspected that Yan Chunjun's death was caused by Yan Dan. These messengers were ordered by King Xi of Yan to recall Yan Dan and replace him with Yan Yi in charge of the army." Halfway through her words, Yan Fei turned her head, her gentle but domineering eyes swept across the dense and lush forests, "If I'm not mistaken, the soldiers and horses you ambushed here should not be less than three thousand."
"When Yan Dan returns to Jicheng, we should rush out in force and take his head to present to the King of Qin..."
Yan Fei hated Yan Dan, the man who deceived her feelings, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible. After meeting Tian Xuan unexpectedly, she hoped to use Tian Xuan's army to complete her revenge.
"No!" After hearing Yan Fei's suggestion, Tian Xuan's eyes flashed with intention, but after hesitating for a moment, he still rejected Yan Fei's proposal.
In his previous life, Yan Dan did not die in the war between the Qin army and Yan, but pretended to die under the sword of Wei Zhuang, and then he acted as a leader of the Mohist school. The Mohist school has been operating for hundreds of years, and the outer magic realm built in the mountains and ridges - the Mohist Mechanical City has become the base camp for the activities of anti-Qin forces. Now, Yan Dan has just succeeded to the position of leader of the Mohist school. If he is really killed, perhaps the Mohist school will not become the most important link in the anti-Qin alliance. However, Tianxuan has not yet considered whether to really be a loyal and important minister of Zhengge and his son; or to become one of the heroes competing for the world after Zhengge's death.
This world had already undergone some changes beyond Tianxuan's memory of his previous life. If he rashly killed Yan Dan, the situation would only get further out of control. In addition, the order he received was to attack the main force of the Yan-Dai coalition after the army broke through it. If he rashly killed Yan Dan, he would only expose his existence.
Due to multiple factors, Tianxuan had no choice but to reject Yanfei.
"General Wang Jian asked me to lurk here in order to intercept and kill the defeated Yan-Dai coalition army. As for Yan Dan? His life or death has nothing to do with me."
"You!" Yan Fei became furious after being rejected by Tianxuan. Her beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Tianxuan with an unfriendly expression.
Sensing the anger coming from Yan Fei, Tian Xuan tried to comfort her: "Yan Fei, I know you want to kill Yan Dan, but don't be impatient. Besides, don't you think it would be more satisfying to let Yan Dan live, but watch in vain as the Yan Kingdom is destroyed and its eight hundred years of foundation fall?"
"This?" Tianxuan's words aroused the hidden pain buried deep in Yanfei's heart. She imagined the scene described by Tianxuan's words and felt endless joy. "Humph!"
Before she could utter any hesitant words, her voice turned into a rather tsundere hum.
…………
Yan-Dai coalition forces, main camp.
"The king has ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Jicheng immediately without delay. General Yan Yi will take charge of the army. We must defeat the Qin army as soon as possible and enhance the prestige of our Great Yan!"
The envoy from Jicheng quickly arrived at the allied camp and read out the edict of King Xi of Yan to Yan Dan, Yan Yi and other Yan generals.
"Hahaha."
The Yan-Dai coalition had been confronting the Qin army for more than a month. Seeing that the Qin army, which they had originally feared, had not yet taken the initiative to attack them, Yan Yi and others subconsciously began to think that the Qin army was nothing special. As for Wang Jian, he was even less worthy of his reputation!
After receiving the edict from King Xi of Yan, Yan Yi took charge of the army. Yan Yi began to look forward to the scene of defeating the Qin army and becoming famous all over the world. As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Yan Yi, who became the commander of more than 100,000 Yan troops, laughed loudly, stood up quickly, took out a few gold ingots from his arms, and handed them over.
[Father, you ordered the army to attack proactively and fight head-on against the tiger and wolf division that has been gathering strength for a long time. You are making a huge gamble with the fate of my country of Yan! ]
Unlike Yan Yi, who was full of self-satisfaction and arrogant, Yan Dan, a loser in a certain sense, looked depressed and filled with endless despair. Even after the king's order was read out, Yan Dan still knelt on the ground like a statue, and was reluctant to get up.
"Your Highness, please!"
Yan Yi came to Yan Dan in the posture of a victor. Although Yan Yi knew that Yan Dan was not kneeling to him, he still reminded Yan Dan with great interest that he should leave!
