Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 653: Chapter 265: Ying Bu: I Come by Order of My Lord! (3)

"I, Mi Qi, was originally a royal family member of Great Chu, and naturally the King of Chu."

"Now, I shall reclaim what is rightfully mine," Mi Qi said coldly.

Afterward.

Mi Qi opened the palace door and ordered to the trusted aide outside, "Summon General Zhang and General Wu to see me."

Soon after.

Within Chenying City.

The fifty thousand prefecture soldiers under Mi Qi’s command suddenly began to mobilize.

"Issue Lord Changping’s command."

"To ensure the safety of the supply route, from today onward, the entire city is sealed."

"No one may enter or exit without Lord Changping’s command."

"All provisions transported from Qin shall be uniformly allocated by Lord Changping."

"Anyone defying the order shall be executed."

Within the city.

Orders were delivered to the army and the logistics army transporting provisions into the city.

...

Danyang City!

"Reporting to Senior General."

"Xiang Yan leads Chu State’s army out of Chufang City, advancing towards Danyang."

"The forces are no fewer than two hundred thousand."

"It seems they intend to confront our army head-on."

Li Xin hurriedly arrived to report to Huan Yi.

"It appears Xiang Yan has realized that I discerned his intention to lure the enemy deep."

"Thus, he wants to recapture Danyang City."

"However, his move seems rather foolish."

"When Qin comes to attack, he actually abandons the advantage of defending the city, opting for a direct confrontation," Huan Yi said thoughtfully.

"Senior General."

"Indeed, it is a foolish move, but since he has chosen to fight, it fits our army’s desires."

"Destiny favors Qin in annihilating Chu," Li Xin said with a smile.

"Issue the command."

"Prepare the army to gather and march, to face the Chu army," Huan Yi ordered immediately.

"I accept the order," Li Xin respectfully bowed before preparing to relay the command.

And at that moment.

"Senior General, if you confront Xiang Yan, the Hangu Pass Camp will fall."

A sudden voice emerged from one side of the grand hall.

"Who?"

The unexpected voice made Huan Yi’s expression change, abruptly looking over.

A masked figure in black had entered the grand hall.

Huan Yi immediately drew his weapon from his waist.

Li Xin did the same.

Then.

The trusted aides outside the palace heard the commotion, drew their swords, and rushed towards the hall.

All watched the figure in black intently.

"Senior General Huan Yi."

"If I were you, I would have my aides retreat first."

"If I intended to assassinate you, I would have already acted."

Ying Bu said coldly, his voice carrying a certain arrogance.

In Ying Bu’s world.

Aside from respecting his master, others were insignificant to him.

Having reached the Grandmaster Realm now, even if surrounded by thousands, he could fight his way out.

Looking at the calm Ying Bu.

And the hundreds of trusted aides rushing in behind.

Huan Yi contemplated a moment.

Then gestured with a wave.

"All withdraw."

Huan Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The trusted aides bowed and retreated from the grand hall.

"Li Xin, close the palace doors."

Huan Yi instructed Li Xin.

"Yes."

Li Xin walked over and closed the doors.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"You can speak now, can’t you?"

Huan Yi stared at Ying Bu, exuding an aura of authority.

"Following my master’s orders, I’m here to save the Senior General’s life," Ying Bu spoke slowly.

"Who is your master?"

"And how can you save my life?" Huan Yi furrowed his brow.

"My master’s name is Zhao Feng."

"Marquis Wu’an of Great Qin."

"I am here on my master’s orders to save your life and the lives of tens of thousands under your command," Ying Bu said gravely.

Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s name.

Huan Yi’s calm expression immediately became serious.

"Please speak."

Huan Yi clasped his fists respectfully.

As a seasoned general, he naturally could discern whether Ying Bu’s words were true.

Moreover, if Zhao Feng indeed sent him, it must be a significant matter.

"Lord Changping Mi Qi has betrayed and defected to Chu; he has now sealed Chenying City, severing all provisions," Ying Bu spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this.

Huan Yi and Li Xin’s expressions changed, exchanging a glance with disbelief.

"Impossible."

"Lord Changping is the Eldest Imperial Son’s maternal grandfather, a royal family member and court relative; how could he betray the nation?" Huan Yi exclaimed in astonishment.
