"Of course, the intelligence reports that Jiang Xuan made another move, breaking through the armor of over 8,000 Guangling Iron Cavalry with a single sword strike."

"Even if he's using such a trick, it must have taken a lot of his energy. So we shouldn't stop during this time. We should send people to harass him every day and increase the price on the assassination list."

When Zhao Kai heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. He couldn't help but say, "But with Jiang Xuan's strength, assassination would be completely useless against him."

"As for getting help from a master of the Land Immortal Realm, that's basically impossible."

Han Diaosi nodded slightly, a cold smile appearing on his ferocious face: "There's no need to kill him, just send someone to harass him, nothing else is needed."

"Moreover, based on the information I've gathered, I now suspect that he intends to go to Martial Emperor City. As for whether it's to challenge Wang Xianzhi, I don't know."

"But if he fails against Wang Xianzhi, or if both sides are severely injured, then we can make our move."

"We can seize this opportunity to kill Jiang Xuan in one blow and eliminate any future troubles!"

Upon hearing Han Diaosi's analysis, Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel excited. His eyes shone brightly, as if he had already ascended the throne.

Zhao Kai nodded vigorously, then looked at Han Diaosi beside him and said again, "Master, let's go!"

Han Diaosi's empty eyes seemed to be looking at Zhao Kai. Then he grabbed the other's hand and instantly transformed into countless red threads, wriggling and rushing into Zhao Kai's body.

At first, he looked like a person wrapped in red silk, but as these things were hidden under his clothes, his eyes, ears, mouth and other parts disappeared completely.

A smile appeared on Zhao Kai's face, and then he jumped out of the room's window.

……

……

Northern Liang, the Northern Liang Royal Palace.

Xu Fengnian frowned subconsciously as he looked at the letter in his hand.

At this moment, Li Yishan coughed twice and then looked at the other person.

"What do you think?"

Xu Fengnian hesitated for a moment and said, "I think this is an opportunity, but the chances are slim."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao sighed softly and finally looked at Li Yishan beside him, asking a question.

"Has that man named Nangong Pushe not been caught yet?"

Li Yishan paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, this person is too shrewd. He has a jade talisman in his hand, which contains the full power of a terrestrial immortal's attack."

"No fewer than ten thousand people died chasing after her."

Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes, then suddenly looked at Xu Fengnian, his face expressionless.

"If you were given another chance, would you choose to let her go again?"

When Xu Fengnian heard this, his expression changed at first, and then he gave a bitter smile.

In fact, Xu Fengnian himself did not expect that he would fall in love with Nangong Pushe during his time at Tingchao Pavilion.

It was precisely because of this that the other party learned about Jiang Xuan's affairs, which led Nangong Pushe to attack directly from Tingchao Pavilion without hesitation and set the place on fire.

Although the fire was eventually extinguished and Xu Fengnian, Li Yishan, and the others were unharmed, there were still considerable losses.

Xu Fengnian must have regretted it, after all, the burning of Tingchao Pavilion had resulted in the deaths of so many people.

However, if he had to do it all over again, Xu Fengnian really couldn't be sure he wouldn't do it again.

At this moment, Xu Fengnian shook his head, his eyes revealing a helpless expression, and then said directly, "She is already at the Land Immortal Realm. Even if I wanted to stop her, it would be impossible."

Xu Xiao took a deep look at his son, then shook his head inwardly.

The once spirited prince of Northern Liang is now completely ruined.

Although he seems much more mature, what does a young man in his twenties have left if he loses his vigor and ambition?

All that's left is a downhill road, and that's the outcome.

However, Xu Xiao only has one precious son who can inherit his legacy.

As for Xu Longxiang, he's good at charging into battle, but he's definitely not good at controlling the Northern Liang army.

Li Yishan waved his hand, glanced at Xu Fengnian, and said, "Go see your master and learn more from his kung fu."

Xu Fengnian bowed slightly to Xu Xiao and Li Yishan, then pushed his wheelchair and left the room.

After Xu Fengnian left, Li Yishan and Xu Xiao fell silent once again.

After a long pause, Li Yishan finally spoke: "Now, many people in the entire Northern Liang army have begun to build momentum."

"The meaning is very clear: there can only be one future master of the Northern Liang Army, and that is Chen Zhibao."

Xu Xiao stood by the window, his hands behind his back.

He gazed silently into the distance, as if trying to take in the entire scene before him.

However, this is not possible.

After a long while, Xu Xiao suddenly turned around, staring intently at Li Yishan, his voice low and hoarse.

"This King of Northern Liang can only have the surname Xu!"

"The Northern Liang must also be surnamed Xu!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiao's words, Li Yishan was taken aback at first, then immediately stood up straight and stared at Xu Xiao with wide eyes.

"Xu Xiao, are you crazy?!"

Xu Xiao paused for a moment, then looked at Li Yishan and shook his head.

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.”

Chapter 143 The Choice of Northern Mang, the Recovery of the Old Territory of Western Chu

Northern Mang, Imperial Tent.

Empress Murong sat in the imperial tent, gently massaging her Jingming acupoint, a tired look unconsciously appearing on her face.

For Empress Murong, some things could naturally be handled by others, after all, that was her job.

But there are some things she has to do herself.

After all, if things aren't handled properly, it could lead to the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of civilians, and could even wipe out the entire Northern Mang.

Therefore, she must be very, very careful when making certain decisions!

Just as she closed her eyes to rest, someone walked in quickly and stopped in front of the screen.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from Liyang."

After a brief silence, a strong, clear voice rang out: "Come in."

The guard walked over quickly and handed the letter to Empress Murong.

Upon receiving the letter, the guard immediately turned and left, leaving Empress Murong alone.

She skillfully opened the letter in her hand. At first, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then an excited smile appeared on her face. However, the next second, her brows furrowed again.

If there were outsiders present, they would likely be shocked by Empress Murong's expression in such a situation.

After all, as the Empress of Northern Mang, she had to control herself on a daily basis and try not to reveal any unnecessary emotions.

At this moment, Empress Murong looked at the letter in her hand, a solemn expression on her face.

She saw what was written on it and learned of the death of Prince Zhao Yi of Guangling.

She was definitely happy about something that could significantly weaken the Li Yang Dynasty.

After all, for more than ten years, the Northern Barbarians had been suppressed by the Li Yang Dynasty.

The death of the King of Guangling will certainly lead to a host of problems in the Guangling region, which is the former territory of Western Chu.

If it were anywhere else, the Northern Barbarians would certainly not let this opportunity pass. After all, their attitude towards Li Yang is that they will definitely open their mouths if they can get as much meat as possible.

However, there is another problem here, namely that this whole thing happened because of Jiang Xuan.

However, if Jiang Xuan's Western Chu were to rise from the ashes and become better and better, that would not be what she wanted to see.

She doesn't want either a dominant position or a victory; she prefers a lose-lose situation.

But now that things have come to this, there's nothing she can do.

At this moment, Empress Murong was pondering whether she should send someone over to stop the future development of Western Chu.

However, the Li Yang Dynasty was so vast that even when it became so chaotic, they couldn't really say anything.

What does this prove?

This proves that Jiang Xuan has now become a formidable force, and even the Emperor of Liyang can no longer maintain his former power.

You think you can just start a fight like that? Are you kidding me!

If Zhao Dun were to launch a war now, I fear that Western Chu would truly drag down Liyang, and even with the help of Northern Liang, it would be impossible to stop it.

This was destined.

However, the old emperor Zhao Dun is now seeking peace, and has even offered up his only daughter, Princess Suizhu, for this purpose.

They even ceded territory and paid reparations, which shows their sincerity.

However, even with such sincerity, whether Li Yang can survive depends on his future choices.

Jiang Xuan's choice, Li Yang's choice, Bei Mang's choice, and so on...

Their choices led to countless paths, and these paths ultimately determined the ending of the story.

……

……

Xiangfan City.

Looking at the letter in her hand, not to mention others, even she herself was now curious about what had happened.

How did Jiang Xuan end up at Guangling River and kill King Zhao Yi of Guangling?

However, there are more important matters now, and Xu Weixiong needs to resolve them as soon as possible.

That is the Guangling region. She must take over as soon as possible and resolve the matter of the Guangling King's death as quickly as possible.

After all, once some people fully realize what's happening, they might cause a major upheaval with these Guangling soldiers.
