Chapter 844 There is no way out
Neither Chen Dao nor Yang Zheng are ordinary people; one is the King Yang, who controls the two prefectures of Qing and Liang, and the other is the master of Chenjia Village.
These two can be said to embody the hopes of millions of people. If they were to intercept Wu Tu, and were injured by Wu Tu in his desperate struggle, Tian Yu would likely be held accountable even if he were to die a thousand deaths.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Tian Yu gave up the idea of pursuing Wu Tu and turned to look at the last battlefield.
As the battle dragged on, Pei Chen gradually became exhausted, and the power of his sword strikes weakened, making it easier for Li Qiao to deal with him.
Especially after seeing all his own warriors killed and Wu Tu flee, Pei Chen was completely thrown into disarray.
Pei Chen never imagined that the encirclement and suppression of Tian Yu would turn into the current situation.
All the warriors invited by the Lu family died, and the barbarian king Wu Tu also fled the battlefield when he saw that things were not going well.
Now he was left all alone, facing Li Qiao...
Do not!
Not only Li Qiao, but also Tian Yu, Yang Zheng, Chen Dao, Chen Cheng, and three demonic beasts were watching them intently!
Li Qiao alone was already beyond his ability to defeat, let alone with so many powerful figures around him...
At this moment, Pei Chen felt despair!
Surrounded by formidable enemies on all sides, and nearing exhaustion...
Pei Chen clearly realized that his death was probably imminent!
"Li Qiao, Tian Yu, Yang Zheng!"
Pei Chen, his chest heaving, distanced himself from Li Qiao, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over the group on the battlefield: "The Lu family will never let you go!"
Having said that, Pei Chen, knowing that he would never be let go by Tian Yu and the others, mustered his last bit of strength and true energy and launched a fearless charge towards Li Qiao!
Li Qiao easily parried Pei Chen's final blow, and then with a slash of his wood-chopping knife, the blade light formed from his true energy split Pei Chen in two from top to bottom, just like chopping wood!
Massive amounts of blood gushed from Pei Chen's severed body, staining the ground beneath his feet red. Even as his body was split open, Pei Chen's eyes remained wide open, and it was unknown whether he felt any remorse.
However, none of this matters to Tian Yu and the others anymore!
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Tian Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
There are as many as 13 top-rank martial artists who agreed to help the Lu family. What an incredibly powerful force this is!
If this power could be used to fight against the barbarians, the barbarians would not even have the courage to look at the Great Wall, let alone invade the Nine Provinces!
Unfortunately, from the emperor down to the common people, the people of the Nine Provinces have never been of one mind.
Throughout history, only a small minority of people have been willing to resist barbarians. The vast majority of people, because the threat of barbarians is so far removed from them, are indifferent to barbarians and naturally have no desire to invest resources and manpower to resist them.
"Thank you all for your help!"
Tian Yu suppressed his emotions and sincerely thanked Chen Dao and the others.
Without the help of Chen Dao and the others, he probably wouldn't have been able to resolve this ambush launched by the Lu family so easily, given the strength of the Lu family's forces.
"General Tian, you're too kind!"
Chen Dao waved his hand.
Li Qiao chuckled and said, "Brother Tian, there's no need for such formalities between us."
"Ha ha!"
Tian Yu laughed loudly. There was no need for such formalities between him and Li Qiao. The words of thanks were mainly for Chen Dao and Yang Zheng.
"The siege of the Lu family has been lifted. General Tian, don't forget the agreement you made with Yang."
Yang Zheng reminded him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I, Tian, always keep my word and will never go back on my word."
"In that case, thank you very much, General Tian!"
After making a promise to Yang Zheng, Tian Yu's gaze fell on the two Crimson Flame Chickens, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes: "These birds are truly wondrous!"
Tian Yu had witnessed the performance of the two Crimson Flame Chickens, and he was extremely envious of Chen Dao, who possessed these two divine birds.
This is not only because of the two Crimson Flame Chickens' powerful combat capabilities, but also because these two Crimson Flame Chickens can carry people in flight.
Tian Yu couldn't help but fantasize that if he could also possess such a giant bird, the Great Wall Army would find it very easy to scout the enemy. Scouts would only need to ride on the back of the giant bird and soar through the sky above the grasslands to have a clear view of the enemy situation on the ground.
Then, riding the giant bird, they quickly returned to relay the enemy situation to the army.
Furthermore, this giant bird can be used not only for reconnaissance but also as a surprise weapon on the battlefield.
Imagine two armies clashing in battle, when suddenly a giant bird appears in the sky, spewing flames at the enemy. This would surely shatter their morale and lead to a great victory for your side…
In short, in a short moment, countless uses for the Crimson Flame Chicken flashed through Tian Yu's mind, but unfortunately...
He could only dream about it, since such a magical beast was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after, and Chen Dao would not hand over the Crimson Flame Chicken to him to use.
"General Tian, you flatter me."
Chen Dao replied with a smile, "The matter with the Lu family is settled, and it's time for us to leave!"
Chen Dao had not forgotten the purpose of his trip to Youzhou. He came to Youzhou for the Dragon Beard Grass, and now that he could no longer obtain it, he should set off to return as soon as possible.
"Mr. Chen, why are you in such a hurry?"
Tian Yu urged him to stay a few more days, saying, "How about you give me the opportunity to express my gratitude?"
"no need!"
Both Chen Dao and Yang Zheng refused Tian Yu's offer to stay. Chen Dao wanted to return to Chenjia Village as soon as possible to take charge of village affairs, while Yang Zheng was eager to return to Liangzhou to prepare for the expedition to Youzhou.
Seeing this, Tian Yu had no choice but to give up and watch the group walk towards the location of the Crimson Flame Chicken.
"correct!"
As Chen Dao walked toward the Crimson Flame Chicken, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask Tian Yu, "I've heard that the Great Wall Army often intercepts large quantities of goods traded between the Lu family and the barbarians. I wonder if the Great Wall Army has any Dragon Beard Grass?"
Dragon's Beard Grass?
Tian Yu paused for a moment, then nodded slightly in Chen Dao's surprised gaze: "There is indeed a lot of dragon beard grass in the Great Wall Army's warehouse. This thing is extremely valuable, and ordinary merchants simply cannot afford to sell it. There are also no martial artists in the Great Wall Army who can use this herb, so it has been piling up in the Great Wall Army's warehouse."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao's face lit up with immense joy.
It's truly a case of "after passing through mountains and rivers, seemingly without a way out, a new village appears amidst willows and flowers!"
Chen Dao, who failed to obtain the Dragon Beard Grass from the Lu family, thought that he would have to wait until Yang Zheng sent troops to Youzhou to destroy the Lu family before he could get the Dragon Beard Grass.
Unexpectedly, he didn't need to wait that long at all; the Great Wall Army already had Dragon Beard Grass in their hands.
Moreover, according to Tian Yu, the Great Wall Army probably has quite a lot of dragon's beard grass in their hands!
