Chapter 313 Reclaiming the Land, Killing the Supreme Being
"Kill Wuzhu!"

Yang Zaixing suddenly woke up, his eyes bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.

"General, you're awake?" a rough, booming voice called out.

Yang Zaixing turned his head and saw an old soldier with gray hair. He was a little stunned: "You, you are Old Li?"

When the old soldier saw that Yang Zaixing remembered his name, he quickly said, "It is indeed I."

"Okay, ouch!" Yang Zaixing was about to say something when he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body and couldn't help but grimace. Looking down, he saw that he was wrapped in white cloth all over his body, red and white, almost like a rice dumpling.

"Old Li, what's the situation now?"

Old Li said, "General, the Jin dogs have been driven back, and General Zhang Xian is pursuing them towards Lin'ying County!"

"Ah?" Yang Zaixing exclaimed in surprise, "No, General Zhang alone won't do! Help me up, I can fight again!" He tried to get up as he spoke.

"Oh dear, General Yang, please rest for a bit." Old Li quickly stepped forward to comfort him. "The arrowheads that were pulled out of your body weighed a full liter. Don't move around too much, or the wound will reopen."

"No! I don't trust Zhang Xian!" Yang Zaixing was very stubborn and insisted on getting up.

Old Li was both amused and exasperated, and exclaimed, "General Yang, please put your mind at ease!"

Yang Zaixing stared in surprise and asked, "Why?"

"Because there are three villains!" Old Li exclaimed excitedly. "With these three around, Jin Gou is going to be slaughtered!"

"Three, fierce?" Yang Zaixing looked puzzled. "Why have I never heard of this name before?"

Old Li told him that although all three hundred cavalrymen died heroically in the Battle of Xiaoshanghe, three strange people came to the front of Yue Family Army's camp.

"Strange? How strange is it?" Yang Zaixing couldn't help but recall the donkey's bray, a sound that shook the heavens, as if his ears were still ringing.

"A young man in white robes, a man in black robes, and a girl in red riding a tiger!"

"Hmm?" Yang Zaixing chuckled. "They're the three villains? Why is there a woman among them?"

Old Li said, "General, don't underestimate Sister Hongxiu! She's the one who led you back on a white donkey!"

"Oh dear! Did the three villains save me?"

"Of course! They fought their way back to bring you here!"

Old Li then recounted how his scouts went to Xiaoshanghe and found the plains littered with the remains of Jin soldiers, ablaze with flames, and some withered and dried up. He conservatively estimated the casualties at nearly five thousand. Moreover, the Jin soldiers spread rumors that they had encountered ghosts and gods in Xiaoshanghe that could grow thousands of arms to kill, breathe raging flames, and even suck blood.

As Old Li spoke vividly and eloquently, Yang Zaixing was dumbfounded and quickly grabbed his hand to ask, "Old Li, are the three villains really that powerful?"

Old Li laughed and said, "Of course! Sister Hongxiu also said that if Jin Wuzhu hadn't been rescued by three people with amazing lightness skills, Ren Shaoyang would have already cleaved him in two with a single sword strike!"

"Ren Shaoyang is..."

“Oh, you don’t know their names yet,” Old Li said. “The young man in white robes is called Ren Shaoyang, known as ‘Sword God Ren’; the man in black robes is Li Ding’an, everyone calls him ‘Knife Emperor’; Sister Hongxiu’s real name is Ren Hongxiu. Although she is not very old, she is very heroic and everyone respects her! So everyone calls her Sister Hongxiu.”

Just then, the sound of hooves thundered outside the tent, and a troop of men galloped in, followed by shouts: "General Zhang is back! The Three Fiends are back!"

Old Li laughed heartily and exclaimed, "General Yang, it seems General Zhang Xian has returned victorious!"

Yang Zaixing also looked delighted and said to him, "Old Li, help me up, I want to go and see."

Old Li hesitated for a moment, but Yang Zaixing was impatient and tried to get up on his own. Old Li could only sigh and quickly helped him up, leading him outside the tent.

Lifting the curtain, one sees a bright and clear sky, without a single cloud in sight.

Looking up, one can see the mighty river flowing in the distance, connecting north and south, with thousands of warships and battleships on the river, their banners waving like clouds and rainbows.

Looking down, one sees endless camps stretching out like a vast ocean, with countless armored soldiers cheering as they rush out of the tents, surrounding a group of knights in the center, their shouts deafening.

Yang Zaixing stared intently, and saw that the leader, Zhang Xian, had a beard like a spear and was laughing heartily.

Behind him were three people who looked out of place.

What does it mean to be out of place?

This was because every knight in this group was fully armored, with a long spear hanging on the left and a long sword hooked on the right of their saddles. They also carried crossbows on their backs and quivers at their waists, making them armed to the teeth.

Standing there, surrounded by a dense, dark mass, there was not a sound to be heard except for the rhythmic breathing of the soldiers, a testament to the strict discipline of the army.

Behind Zhang Xian were three men, the leader of whom was a young man in white robes. He was not wearing armor or carrying any weapons. He sat on his horse with an elegant demeanor, looking more like he was on a picnic than someone who had come to fight.

Behind him stood an extremely burly man in black robes, with long, flowing hair. What should have been a wild and unrestrained air was instead marred by his憨憨 (simple and honest) smile. Even more strangely, he rode a tall, white donkey, making the whole scene look incredibly odd.

but.

Compared to the girl at the end, this man seemed much more normal.

Because this girl in red was riding a fat, striped tiger, and was gnawing on a crispy roasted beef leg.

Seeing how much she enjoyed eating, the soldiers who gathered around couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Sister Hongxiu, are you eating alone?"

"Yes, let's share some, let's share some!"

The soldiers were laughing and joking, clearly showing they had a very good relationship with the girl.

The girl laughed and said, "Alright, let the little ones have a taste!" As she spoke, she casually tossed the beef leg into the air.

With a few hissing sounds, the cow leg immediately split into countless pieces of meat in mid-air, flying towards the soldiers.

The hundred or so people around were overjoyed to receive a piece of beef the size of a fingertip, and shouted in unison, "Sister Hongxiu, you're so generous!"

Hongxiu chuckled, tilting her head back, clearly extremely self-satisfied.

"They are the three villains?" Yang Zaixing turned to look at Old Li, his face full of questions. "These three kids have such kind faces, how did they get such nicknames?"

Old Li chuckled and said, "Don't tell me you don't believe me; I didn't believe it at first either. It was only after I went to the battlefield with them that I realized just how ruthless these three really are!" He clicked his tongue twice, a mixture of admiration and trepidation in his voice, "that I finally understood just how vicious these three truly are!"

At this time, the dawn-announcing bugle, carried by the morning breeze, drifted from afar, rising and falling, echoing across the land.

Just then, a sentry relayed a message that General Yue had summoned him.

Zhang Xian nodded to the three villains. Zhang Xian went first, while the three villains turned around and headed towards Yang Zaixing's tent.

General Yang, are you feeling better?

A clear voice rang out, and the man in white robes cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile.

"I am very grateful to Sword God Ren for saving me!" Yang Zaixing raised his hand with difficulty, his fist trembling as he clasped it.

Seeing him wince in pain with every movement, Ren Shaoyang quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "General, you are too kind. My siblings and I were just there by chance, and we dare not take credit for what is rightfully ours! Besides, you are dedicated to the country and its people, how could you accept such a great gift?"

"I will never forget your life-saving grace!" Yang Zaixing clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone resounding.

"Haha, Brother Yang, just focus on recovering from your injury." Hongxiu walked up to him with a smile and patted his arm. "After you recover, kill some more Golden Dogs so we can have some fun."

"Okay!" Yang Zaixing inexplicably took a liking to Hongxiu and laughed loudly, "I'll listen to Sister Hongxiu!" "Haha!" The little beggar laughed so hard he almost fell over, "Brother Yang, I'm much younger than you, why do you call me 'sister'?"

Yang Zaixing laughed and said, "Just because you saved me from danger and killed the Jin dogs who fled at the mere sight of you, it's not an exaggeration for me to call you 'Sister Hongxiu'!"

"Hey~ I call you big brother, and you call me sister. Isn't that a mess?"

"What's wrong with that?" Yang Zaixing laughed. "How about we each discuss our own points?"

"That sounds fun!" Hongxiu exclaimed happily, leaning forward with a gleam in her eyes. "It's settled then!"

Raise your palm and wait in mid-air.

Yang Zaixing laughed heartily, extended his large hand and gave her a high five, thus sealing the deal.

"By the way, Sister Hongxiu," Yang Zaixing suddenly tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, "I have a question for you."

“Speak,” Hongxiu said, patting her chest. “I will tell you everything I know, without holding back.”

Yang Zaixing pointed to the large bump on his forehead: "You three rescued me, do you know who knocked me unconscious?"

"Uh"

The three evil ones: (#￣～￣#), (#￣～￣#), (#￣～￣#)
The scene fell silent for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zaixing quickly added, "Before I fainted, I think I heard a donkey braying!"

The white donkey eating carrots in the distance perked up its ears, glanced at him, and quickly turned its head away, turning its rear end towards him.

Ding An chuckled awkwardly, "Maybe, maybe the Jin soldiers threw over with big carts, uh, donkey carts?"

Yang Zaixing's expression changed, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Hmm, hmm, it might really be possible! I didn't expect that besides Jin Wuzhu, there would be such a fierce general among the Jin dogs!"

Hongxiu chuckled, and Shaoyang quickly covered her mouth, then begged for mercy and pulled them away.

The three went to the marshal's tent, lifted the curtain, and went inside.

But there stood a fully armored general, wearing a helmet, with his hands behind his back, looking at a map on the wall.

Two people stood beside him.

A young general in silver robes, wielding two gleaming silver hammers.

A fierce general with a dark face wielded two four-sided iron maces.

The general was carefully studying the map on the wall. When he heard someone enter, he didn't turn around but fell into thought.

When the young general and the dark-faced general saw Ren Shaoyang and his two companions, they smiled silently, winking and making faces at each other, which was quite adorable.

Hongxiu smiled silently and raised her eyebrows.

Ren Shaoyang and Ding An cupped their hands in greeting to them, not in a hurry, and waited quietly to the side.

After a long while, the general suddenly burst into laughter, turned around and said, "Shaoyang, Ding'an, Hongxiu! In the battle of Linying County, you pursued the enemy for more than 30 li and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies! You three villains have made great contributions! Please accept my bow!"

As he spoke, the general clasped his hands and bowed.

The silver-robed young general and the black-faced fierce general below also clasped their hands in thanks and bowed in gratitude!

"Oh dear! General Yue, you flatter me!"

"Get up! We're family, no need for formalities!"

"Yeah, me too."

The three villains all spoke, saying they dared not accept such a great gift.

The general stood up with a smile. He was a tall, middle-aged man with a resolute face beneath his helmet and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, showing signs of hardship.

However, when he looked at the three villains at this moment, his expression was proud and his gaze was awe-inspiring.

He was none other than Yue Fei, Marshal Yue!

At this moment, Yue Fei and Ren Shaoyang looked at each other with mutual appreciation, and a warmth inexplicably arose in their hearts.

Yue Shuai smiled slightly and pointed to the map on the wall, saying, "Shaoyang, can you see anything?"

Ren Shaoyang narrowed his eyes and carefully considered his words: "Commander Yue, are you going to have a final battle with the Golden Dog?"

"That's right!" Yue Shuai slapped the map and laughed heartily. "Shaoyang is indeed amazing. He understood our intentions just by looking at the map of mountains and rivers!" He then asked, "Shaoyang, take another look. Where would be a suitable place?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly and pointed to the map: "Zhuxian Town!"

"it is good!"

Commander Yue pointed to the land of Tokyo and said, "If we can capture Zhuxian Town, our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue the main force of the Jin army, continue the northern expedition, gradually advance to Kaifeng, then cross the river to recover the lost land in Hebei, and finally strike at the heart of the enemy."

His finger traced the map, stopping at Huanglong Prefecture, and he sighed, "Thanks to you for rescuing Zaixing. As the saying goes, it's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. Without him, it would be like losing an arm of mine, making it much more difficult to strike at Huanglong in the future!"

After Yue Shuai finished speaking, he paced back and forth, his expression shifting between light and dark, as if he had encountered a very difficult decision. After a long while, he turned his head and said seriously, "Shaoyang, the battle of Zhuxian Town must not be lost. I, Yue Shuai, need to ask the Three Fiends for a favor!"

Ren Shaoyang and the other two exchanged glances, then clasped their hands in unison and said, "General Yue, please give your orders!"

Yue Fei nodded and said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask the three of you to go and restrain one person."

"Who is it?" Ren Shaoyang asked, taken aback. "So powerful? Do you need the three of us?"

"contain?"

Hongxiu and Ding'an blinked their big eyes, staring intently at Yue Fei.

Yue Shuai laughed and said, "Although he is said to be one person, he is surrounded by many experts. Among the experts I know are the 'Three-time Crown King of the Frontier' and the 'Golden Swallow Divine Eagle' of Little Qilian Mountain!"

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized, "General Yue is referring to that person."

Yue Fei nodded: "That's right, this person is Wanyan Jue, the 'Supreme' of the Jin Kingdom! He has arrived at Zhuxian Town to support Jin Wuzhu."

"Shaoyang, Ding'an, Hongxiu! I request that the three of you restrain this person and remove the biggest obstacle for our army."

Hongxiu smiled slightly: "Supreme? That title is really arrogant."

Ding An shook his head: "The last one this arrogant split in two and left."

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "General Yue, please wait for my good news."

Yue Fei laughed heartily: "Very well! I, Yue Fei, will warm wine for the three of you in my tent!"
