New and dark light years

Chapter 513 The Golden-Armored Deity's Wrath Repels the Rebel Army
Li Lin looked up at the purple phoenix floating in mid-air and examined it carefully.

It must be said that Zi Feng was indeed very beautiful at this moment.

With the body of the most beautiful woman in the world, Consort Rong, as a foundation, and her own mysterious aura, the combination of the two is indeed irresistible.

She was just a hair's breadth away from being on par with the Tree Fairy.

"What benefits will I get?" Li Lin asked.

"Such a beautiful body, don't you want it?" Zi Feng raised her eyebrows and smiled.

“I have four wives at home, and I already have beautiful women. One more or one less makes no difference,” Li Lin said calmly. “Now I’m more concerned about what I can get out of it.”

"Tsk!" Zi Feng made an annoyed sound, then slowly floated down and said, "As I just said, I am a pure Yin body, the best furnace, and those who cultivate with me will benefit greatly."

"What are the benefits?"

"Why are you asking so many questions, man? Just try it and you'll know."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What harm would that do to the Emperor!"

Zi Feng said, "Using a furnace leaves traces. My body now contains the energy of another man, so if someone else tries to use it, the effect will be very, very low. I heard you also know about dual cultivation, so you should understand what I mean."

Li Lin nodded; this was indeed as he had expected.

"But haven't you given birth before? It shouldn't have much effect on me."

Zi Feng looked at him as if he were a fool: "I've been sealed away for so many years. Any trace of it would be gone."

That makes sense, Li Lin nodded, and then asked, "You insist on dual cultivation? Won't you escape from the capital?"

“I cannot stray too far from the capital.” Zi Feng looked in the direction of the capital and said sadly, “The place that sealed me is still binding me. I have not completely broken free of the seal, which is why the current emperor is so sure that I cannot escape.”

That's it.

Li Lin looked at Zi Feng, pondering the benefits this matter would bring him.

He was indeed skilled in dual cultivation. When his four wives practiced dual cultivation, the effects were slightly different, but the difference was very small. Only over many years could a slight difference be created.

So, just how good will the effects of a so-called superior furnace be?
He was quite curious.

How about... we give it a try!
Seeing that Li Lin seemed slightly tempted, Zi Feng floated in front of him, the two very close. She said, "Don't worry that I will do you any harm. You are a member of the Li family. I, Zi Feng, have always repaid kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge."

Li Lin looked over and saw that Consort Rong's spirit was very calm and showed no signs of pain.

This indeed proves that what Zi Feng said was true.

Even Consort Rong was not devoured in the end, which shows that she was indeed a woman who valued loyalty and righteousness.

“Now is not the time.” Li Lin looked ahead. “You can wait inside the city wall first. I will come to find you after I have truly defeated the Di people.”

"Alright." Zi Feng smiled and leaped into the city tower.

Li Lin stood on the city wall, looking at the surrounding land.

The Di people's migration speed was much, much slower than expected.

The main reason was that they were reluctant to give up the grain and gold they had seized.

The speed of a human-powered cart is naturally not comparable to that of a horse, which slows down the entire Di people's pace.

They feared that if there were too few guards, the Qi people responsible for transporting grain and gold would defect.

Duoji led his army and spent nearly a day before finally arriving at Yanming Pass before dusk.

This is also a good evacuation point.

They came over full of joy, only to be met with a scene that shocked them.

Numerous barricades blocked the city gate, and countless horse traps were buried in front of, behind, or to the sides of the barricades.

With such a force, even if they had 30,000 cavalry, let alone less than 7,000, they probably wouldn't be able to break through.

"These Qi people are truly treacherous." Duji was so angry that his teeth itched.

A Di person nearby said, "Commander Fu, let's dismount and charge in. The Qi people are cowardly. Even without warhorses, we can take on ten of them and kill them all."

dismount!

Duji felt that this idea was not very good.

Indeed, during their northward march, no Qi army dared to engage them in direct combat.

But the army we encountered today was very difficult to deal with; my eldest brother died on the way to the charge.

The army in front of us is clearly well prepared. They are dismounting and fighting on foot. Do they really have a chance of winning?
At that moment, a cavalryman rushed over and reined in his horse beside the two men.

"Commander, behind us is a Qi cavalry unit."

"The Qi people have cavalry?" Duji was taken aback.

He then looked behind him, and there was indeed a dark army watching them from the distance on the horizon.

Moreover, compared to the raggedly dressed Di people, the Qi cavalry army was clearly equipped with more luxurious weapons.

Standard leather armor and a cold-weather cloak.

Their warhorses were also larger than their steppe horses. Although their numbers were small, at most three thousand, their formation looked more imposing than their six or seven thousand men.

"Everyone, turn your horses around and prepare for battle!" Duji shouted, brandishing his sword.

Although he didn't understand much about military theory, he was very clear that he must not get caught in a two-sided battle, especially being attacked from both sides.

When the Di cavalry turned their horses around and rearranged their formation, they found that the enemy had already fled.

It disappeared from their sight at a moderate pace.

Only a scout team of a dozen or so fast horses remained, roaming the edge of their field of vision, clearly monitoring them.

Seeing this, Duji's face turned even uglier.

He understood... these Qi people were probably going to drag them to their deaths here.

"Everyone, set up camp right here!" Duji shouted.

The unease in his heart told him that this was probably their last battle.

The weather was gradually getting warmer. If they couldn't break through this pass today, even if they managed to get out of the pass in two or three days, they wouldn't dare to cross the river even if it was still frozen.

Because it will become very thin.

They might not be able to support the weight of a warhorse, and even if a person dismounted and walked, it wouldn't be possible.

Therefore, we must take down this obstacle before tonight.

There was helplessness in Duji's small eyes.

He sat down, picked up a wine flask from the horse's back, uncorked it, took a few sips of milk wine, and then stuffed the dried meat into his mouth.

As the sun was setting, he could see a general in bright armor looking in his direction from the top of the city wall ahead.

Beside that general was a group of soldiers dressed in infantry armor.

There are at least three hundred people.

Footman A!
That's something that can block a cavalry charge head-on.

Tonight's battle is likely to end badly.

Half an hour later, Duji stood up and shouted, "Everyone, abandon your horses, get your shields and scimitars, and charge with me!"

Thousands of Di people shouted in unison, their voices reaching a tremendous height.

Standing beside the battlements, Xiao Chunzhu looked at the Di people who were going mad in front of him and asked incredulously, "Are these Di people planning to attack the city on foot? Don't they plan to check the pass guarded by Guo Dujian?"

He was a military man by birth and didn't understand military formations very well, so he always had four or five trusted advisors by his side.

He is aware of his shortcomings, so he never makes decisions lightly.

An aide beside him chuckled, “I guess there’s no time left. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and if we delay any longer, the river will thaw. They dare not return to Fengqiu Pass, which is guarded by the military governor, and Rilan Pass, which is guarded by Commander Guo, is at least three days’ journey from here. Even if they manage to capture the pass, the river will have thawed, and they still won’t be able to return.”

Xiao Chunzhu's eyes lit up: "So they really intend to attack the city, and they're not just putting on an act."

"It should be so."

Xiao Chunzhu laughed heartily: "Even the heavens are on my side! I'm about to do something great again."

Several staff members cupped their hands and smiled, saying, "Congratulations, sir."

Now everyone can see that Li Lin intends to seize the divine artifact.

At this crucial juncture, the more helpful one is to the military governor and the greater the merit they make, the greater their contribution to the succession.

He might even be granted a noble title. Xiao Chunzhu roared, "Pass the word down: everyone, eat and drink your fill, and later we'll kill those Di people!"

"As ordered."

……

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared, Li Lin received two messages sent by carrier pigeon.

The first message came from Yanming Pass. The Di people wanted to break through the pass, and Commander Xiao had already engaged in battle with them.

The second report came from the Flying Cavalry Camp. They had already reached the rear of the Di people's formation, destroyed their logistics, and seized a large amount of grain and gold. They were about to dismount and fight in coordination with Yanming Pass to wipe out the Di people.

After reading these two messages, Li Lin knew that there was no need to worry about the Di people anymore.

He then left the city wall and returned to the city tower.

Pushing open the door, one sees Zi Feng reclining on the bed, drinking fine wine.

And serving beside her was Xiao Juan, whom she had rescued not long ago.

"It seems your business is finished." Zi Feng sat up and then said, "This little girl's service skills are quite good, comparable to those of the people in the palace."

Xiao Juan was somewhat flattered.

She had met Consort Yourong before and knew what state Consort Yourong was in now.

After all, this was no secret to wealthy and powerful families.

Li Lin said, "Xiao Juan, go out."

Xiao Juan glanced at the two of them and knew what was about to happen. Just as she was about to leave, Zi Feng suddenly said, "She will stay and serve."

Ok?
It's not that Li Lin is reserved; when he was practicing dual cultivation at home, it was always a group activity.

It's just that Xiaojuan isn't one of his people, so he doesn't want to do it.

“You think being a furnace is an easy thing? You’ll need someone to help you wipe your sweat and make the bed.” Zi Feng sighed. “I’ve given birth before, so I know very well what my body means to me.”

Li Lin looked at Xiao Juan and said, "But she belongs to another family. It's not good for her to stay."

"Absurd! You're a military governor, and she's just a concubine. What's wrong with letting her stay? If you want her back, would her husband's family dare refuse? They'd be more than happy to give her to you."

It is a fact that concubines had a very low status.

Just as Li Lin was hesitating, Xiao Juan knelt down. She looked at Li Lin with admiration in her eyes and said, "Young Master, Xiao Juan is willing. Please don't look down on Xiao Juan for not being a virgin."

Xiaojuan now understands that the Fang family and the Huang family are all just fleeting clouds.

A man should be like Li Lin, someone who can shoulder responsibility and take on challenges.

While Li Lin was still hesitating, Zi Feng beckoned with her finger, and the door closed.

"You little rascal, you're not all show and no substance, are you?"

His tone was extremely arrogant and provocative.

Li Lin smiled.

He had initially intended to show some leniency, but now he's come to a realization.

He would stand up and pedal when riding someone else's bicycle!

……

At this moment, Zhang Zouzhi looked up at the Meridian Gate in front of the palace.

The city wall, ten zhang high, looked like an insurmountable peak.

But he didn't care.

Now he had only one thought: to break down the city gate and find the Consort Yourong inside.

The most beautiful woman in the world should belong to the Great Shun King.

At that moment, a man dressed in a yellow robe suddenly appeared on the city wall, immediately attracting Zhang Zouzhi's attention.

"You scoundrels, you are truly audacious!" Zhu Jing looked down at the densely packed, chaotic army below. "You actually dare to challenge me at the gates of my palace."

Zhang Zouzhi stepped forward and shouted, "You dog emperor, you are incompetent and corrupt, you have ruined the court and caused chaos in the world. I am acting in accordance with the will of Heaven and want to restore order and justice. If you have any conscience, come down and surrender. I will at least leave you a whole corpse."

Zhu Jing laughed upon hearing this: "If Li Lin were here, I might consider it a bit more if he said that. You're just an ant, what are you? Fire the arrows!"

Arrows rained down.

More than a dozen shields stood in front of Zhang Zouzhi, protecting him completely.

There were quite a few soldiers lying on the ground nearby, wounded by arrows.

"Break through the Meridian Gate first!"

Zhang Zouzhi roared.

Over the past year, the rebels have captured many cities and accumulated considerable experience in siege warfare.

The hastily made siege towers were brought over and, escorted by swordsmen and shieldmen, were slowly pushed toward the Meridian Gate.

Zhu Jing looked bored and said to the Imperial Guard Commander beside him, "It's up to you to take command now."

The Imperial Guard Commander knelt down to receive his orders.

After Zhu Jing left the city, he returned to his palace.

“The war drums are deafening outside, quite interesting. If I could cultivate with my great-grandmother at this time, it would be an extremely meaningful thing.” He was very satisfied with his idea, and then went into the tunnel.

There, he donned his golden armor once more, transforming into a golden-armored deity, overlooking the entire capital city.

He looked around but couldn't find his great-grandmother. Just as he was wondering about this, he noticed two auras mingling together in the north.

Moreover, these two auras are currently merging closely.

The golden-armored deity's face, normally blue, had changed.

It turned purple, then red, and finally green.

"You adulterous couple, you adulterous couple!"

The golden-armored deity roared angrily to the sky.

Although others cannot see his figure, they can hear his voice.

And this sound shook the capital.

Everyone was terrified and filled with fear.

Some ministers understood the implication.

Isn't this the voice of the government?
After roaring, the golden-armored deity was still furious and slammed a heavy punch down on the chaotic army in front of the Meridian Gate.

In an instant, half the people in the square turned into a bloody mist.

After this attack, the golden-armored god's appearance became weak and listless.

Then it disappeared.

At the same time, Zhang Zouzhi watched as nearly half of his men, who had been fighting well in the siege, were turned into a bloody mist.

There was even a splatter of meat on his face.

After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, the surviving rebels collapsed.

"Curse!"

"We shouldn't have attacked the palace!"

"The immortal is enraged!"

These rebels all knew what they had done along the way. No matter how arrogant they appeared on the surface, they knew in their hearts that what they had done was wrong.

Therefore, when superhuman powers appear, their first reaction is... that Heaven is going to punish them and start settling scores.

"Run away."

"Run away."

Zhang Zouzhi stood still, and at that moment, several loyal subordinates rushed over and dragged him away.

"Your Majesty, let's leave first. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild."
