Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 529 Pillar of State General

Li Qingying was ultimately left in Xilong Imperial City.

Her lips were so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on them, but even if you could hang a weight on them, it wouldn't work.

As for the marriage proposal, it came to nothing.

They needed a master, and Chu Danqing was one. His powerful internal energy was so great that even the Empress Dowager of Xilong was ashamed of herself.

Not to mention he also has his own people under his command.

Moreover, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Xilong, Chu Danqing and Li Qingying had a deep affection for each other.

A bond formed by combining interests and emotions can be more solid.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor of Xilong attached great importance to the matter of Luye Pass.

Not only did Chu Danqing go, but they also mobilized another top expert from Xilong.

General Helian Su led 50,000 troops to support Luye Pass.

There are three top experts in total. We must keep Yelü Qingyong and this Northern Shuo army at Luye Pass.

If successful, Beishuo and Donglin will inevitably weaken, giving Xilong an opportunity to rise.

Then, Chu Danqing took Dabao to Luye Pass first.

Before leaving, he also gave Chu Danqing and Da Bao each a first-rank military officer title.

Chu Danqing is the General of the Cavalry, and Da Bao is the General of the Chariots.

Because the sealing was done hastily, they didn't have much real power; the main purpose was to allow them to act conveniently and avoid problems due to their identities.

The reason it wasn't a first-rank general was because the first-rank military general was Helian Su, the Pillar of State General.

Chu Danqing didn't care about any of that.

However, after obtaining the position, Chu Danqing opened the faction shop.

[Faction Shop - Xilong Kingdom]

[Tian Jian Sheng Gong]

【The Formless Wonderful Dharma】

The Ten Ultimate Scriptures

[Hundred Weapons and Martial Arts]

【.】

There are quite a few items, but the top ten are the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill and nine derivative skills.

Moreover, there is only one chance to redeem it, and the required faction contribution is extremely high.

Chu Danqing lost interest after reading it; he had his own.

As for exchanging them back to sell? Of these ten skill books, only the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill requires 100,000 contribution points; the others require 30,000 contribution points each.

Moreover, contribution points are not easy to obtain. Chu Danqing estimated that he would only have about 100,000 contribution points after completing the trial mission.

Instead of exchanging for another copy of the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill, wouldn't it be better to exchange it for some resources?

"They should be arriving soon." Chu Danqing was already at Luye Pass at this time.

With his status, he naturally gained control of the entire pass, but he did not choose to interfere with the operation of Luye Pass.

Instead, after they arrived, they were given a room to practice asceticism.

He's an amateur, so he shouldn't be giving advice to experts.

As for why he didn't act in advance, he naturally had his own reasons.

Li Qingying has too little say; we need to find a way to give her a boost before she leaves.

Otherwise, the Western Long Kingdom will face trouble later.

Yes, the trouble is with the Western Long Kingdom, not Li Qingying.

Chu Danqing knew that Guo Ming, Xiong Zhigang, Yang Qianyuan, and even the Goddess of Cats were all formidable individuals.

If Chu Danqing were there, they would restrain themselves.

But if Chu Danqing weren't around, it would be the same situation as Da Bao.

Chu Danqing did not believe that a group of allies who plotted to usurp the throne, donned the imperial robes, monopolized the court, and consumed blood sacrifices could be innocent.

Even Li Qingying has a ruthless mind.

Judging from his previous actions when he killed Yu Wan'er and the noble lady, he was like a completely different person.

His allies were all elites educated in feudal society.

However, this is also related to Chu Danqing. If Chu Danqing hadn't helped them out, they wouldn't be where they are now.

Therefore, as Li Qingying's influence and status increased, they were able to be more lenient when dealing with her power later on.

As for how to improve, Chu Danqing also had a plan, which was simply to let them know how powerful they were.

That's why Chu Danqing was waiting here for Helian Su to come over.

To deal with Yelü Qingyong, Chu Danqing directly invited the fifth-tier Cat Goddess to perform a grand spectacle.

To maximize the impact of a large-scale event, only top-tier experts can witness it.

Chu Danqing, the top expert of Xilong Kingdom, only knew about the Empress Dowager and Helian Su.

The Empress Dowager must remain in the capital and cannot leave.

He could only choose Helian Su.

"Perfect, let's open the treasure chest and see what we can get," Chu Danqing muttered.

You have opened the Treasure Chest (Brilliant) and obtained the following skills: Skill Book (Howling Moon of the Heavenly Wolf), Skill Book (Golden Eagle Chasing the Sun), and Skill Book (Nine Arrows of the Wind).

You have opened: Treasure Chest (Brilliant), and obtained: Skill Book (Ruyi Necklace Sutra)

"The quality is poor, and it's one thing that there are no special skill books, but there are no Paradise Points either," Chu Danqing muttered.

Apart from Nine Arrows with the Wind, which is an active/passive skill, the remaining three are all inherited skills.

The problem is that four brilliant-level skill books are not as good as special skill books.

"The shimmering patterns are too dim, so it's normal that they didn't trigger any special skills." Chu Danqing muttered, "Those two were too weak, no, we killed them too early." "If I had dealt with those five hundred Donglin people first, and then killed these two top experts, then these two Brilliant-grade treasure chests should have been a complete and radiant Brilliant-grade treasure chest."

"Pity."

Just then, a captain came to report: "General Chu, General Wu, the Grand General has arrived at the central camp and has come to request your presence for discussion."

"Lead the way." Chu Danqing's accurate prediction wasn't due to his own calculations, but rather because he had consulted the pass commander about the time.

Military marches naturally have a set timeframe and duration, so it's possible to make a rough estimate.

As for where the central command tent was, he really didn't know; after arriving, he began cultivating in his room.

Led by the captain, Chu Danqing arrived at the central army camp and met Helian Su.

Helian Su was dressed in armor and had a burly build, looking like a small giant.

If one judges Helian Su by his appearance, one might think he was just a reckless and foolish brute.

In reality, he was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

When Helian Su saw Chu Danqing arrive, he looked him over carefully and then stood up to greet him: "General Chu, General Wu, please sit down."

After saying that, he had tea served and treated the guest with great hospitality.

He was a top expert, so he could naturally sense that Chu Danqing's protective shield was so thick that even he couldn't break through it.

This is proof of abundant internal energy.

As for Da Bao, with his looks and physique, he exudes the aura of a powerful figure just by standing there.

"I know you two are not knowledgeable in military strategy, so I will not trouble you with miscellaneous tasks in the army." Helian Su had already heard this from the pass commander when he arrived.

Chu Danqing truly had no desire for power and devoted himself to diligent cultivation every day; no wonder he possessed such immense true energy.

So he wasn't saying this to seize power, but to reassure Chu Danqing that he could focus on his cultivation and not worry about these trivial matters.

Chu Danqing nodded in agreement: "Alright, then General Helian invited me to his tent, presumably to discuss how to kill Yelü Qingyong."

How could he not know the other party's purpose?

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

In Helian Su's eyes, the real purpose of the three of them was to surround and kill Yelü Qingyong, so that he would die here.

As for those Northern Shuo soldiers, they don't need to worry about them for now.

“Exactly,” Helian Su said immediately. “When two armies clash on the battlefield, many unexpected events can occur.”

"How about I use myself as bait to lure out Yelü Qingyong, and when the time is right, General Chu and General Wu can attack together?"

He wouldn't stoop so low as to use Chu Danqing and Da Bao as bait.

Firstly, it was his idea to propose the plan, and secondly, it wasn't that he looked down on the two men; in terms of reputation and importance, the two men might not be able to lure Yelü Qingyong into the trap.

As for the danger of doing so? War is inherently dangerous.

If he were really scared, why would he come to Luye Pass? He could have just hidden in the back.

"The plan is simple and straightforward," Chu Danqing agreed, but then he added, "But it's too troublesome."

"Oh? What brilliant idea does General Chu have?" Helian Su asked.

If Chu Danqing has a better plan, then he will certainly listen to her advice.

Helian Su was not a stubborn or self-willed person.

"I'll find a friend to beat Yelü Qingyong into mincemeat on the battlefield," Chu Danqing said bluntly.

For SS-level difficulty missions, you'll have to rely on allies.

Helian Su fell silent. The plan was excellent and very grand.

He also liked it quite a bit.

But the question is, who has the ability to do that?

"General Chu, there is no joking in the army." Helian Su also wanted to take Chu Danqing's advice, but it was too unrealistic.

If Yelü Qingyong were truly so easy to kill, he wouldn't have held the position of Southern King for so long and become famous throughout the land.

"There is no joking in the army!" Chu Danqing replied, "General Helian, Da Bao and I have no reason to harm the Western Long Kingdom, do we?"

The faction shops of Chu Danqing are all activated, which means that he belongs to the Xilong faction.

"According to our scouts, the 100,000-strong army from Beishuo should arrive around tomorrow. Let me consider this for one night, shall I?" Helian Su said.

Since it involved important military matters, Helian Su naturally couldn't agree so easily.

He acknowledged Chu Danqing's strength, but the opposing force was an army of 100,000, which the three of them couldn't possibly kill even if they fought until they were exhausted.

If something goes wrong and Luye Pass falls, then the Northern Shuo army will truly be able to advance unimpeded.

"Alright, I hope General Helian can provide a plan tomorrow." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, he took Da Bao and prepared to leave.

Helian Su said, "General Chu, if you can give me concrete evidence now, I might as well agree to your request."

He still trusted Chu Danqing's words quite a bit, but since Chu Danqing was just making empty promises without any evidence, he didn't dare to place a bet.

"It's too expensive," Chu Danqing refused.

Summoning the Cat Goddess, even just for a brief appearance, would cost him 460 Paradise Points.

Not to mention that after summoning it, you have to summon it again tomorrow.

Chu Danqing was referring to the amusement park, but Helian Su was referring to human relationships.

After all, for people at their level, gold and silver jewelry are nothing; it's the debts of gratitude they owe that are hardest to repay.

Helian Su frowned as he watched Chu Danqing leave.

Looking at the deployment map, he said softly, "This gives us another option. If General Chu's friend can really do it, the casualties among the soldiers can be reduced a lot."

The impact on the morale and fighting spirit of the enemy army is unimaginable when the opposing commander is killed on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager granted him the authority to act expediently, presumably taking this into consideration."
