C15 Phoenix Blood Pendant

The Phoenix Lake that had been silent for several hundred years had disappeared. The Phoenix City Pass at the foot of the mountain and the wilderness to the north of it had turned into a country of lakes. Bubbles constantly rose from the trenches dug out by the Moqiu Army, exhaled a fishy stench, and then disappeared.

Although everyone was busy, no one said a word. They quietly carried the corpse away, took off their armor, quietly poured the kerosene s on top of it, lit a torch, and then silently watched as the corpse was devoured by the raging flames.

The days of the Phoenix City Pass were not that good either. The outer city wall only had two groups left, one inside the city and the other parts of the walls were broken. Under the repeated attacks of the stone thrower and the flood, the hundreds of years of confinement had lost its original dignity.

Only after two days did the ocean recede. Kong Sheng sat on the city walls of the inner city as he shaved off the mud on his boots and looked in front of him with a frown. The battle had stopped for four days. Both sides were powerless to continue to fight and their losses could not be counted. They had to make an estimate based on the number of troops that had yet to return to the team. At present, this number was definitely not small.

The thing that gave Kong Sheng the most headache was the several people from the Inland Province that came to ask for an explanation. They had either joined hands or they had come over to Kong Sheng repeatedly to ask for an explanation. Kong Sheng now had a splitting headache from being unable to transfer the troops. How could he have the mind to bother with them? However, the few of them were unwilling to let Chen Chu go, acting as if Kong Sheng was not only forced to kneel and beg for forgiveness, but also forced him to surrender. Kong Sheng was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head, and he immediately said, "Wait for Chen Chu to come back, I will give all of you a knife.

On the third day, Chen Chu returned.

Compared to Qu Feizhi, Chen Chu did not have the slightest sense of wrongness. He brought the hundred or so Knights under his command and lined up in three rows in an imposing manner, back to the Phoenix City Pass.

Although Chen Chu felt extremely good about himself, ever since he entered the city, he basically had not seen any good expressions. Some rolled their eyes, some glared at him, and some even wanted to rush forward to attack, but in the end, they were pulled aside to console him.

The moment Chen Chu dismounted from his horse outside the Castellan Mansion door, with a command, nearly five hundred Border Army Soldier s rushed out, surrounding the one hundred odd Knights under Chen Chu's command. The leading Chen Chu was even more immediately surrounded by the four big men with handheld crossbow s, unable to move. Fire Phoenix Army Knights were the descendants and origins of nobility, how could they endure this? At that time, they drew their blades, and the tense atmosphere between the two sides became heavy.

"Sir, this is the Castellan Mansion, the place where the and the rest of the guards, Sir Kong Sheng, fought their battle. You brought more than a hundred armed Knights under your command, what are your intentions?" Zhao Handong slowly walked out of the Castellan Mansion, and coldly looked at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu laughed lightly: "What Zhao Guan said is true, I am being rude." After saying that, he unsheathed his blade and threw it onto the ground. Then, he turned around and waved his hand towards his back.

Following his order, the hundred or so knights sheathed their swords without any hesitation. Even if Zhao Handong ordered his Border Army to kill now, he would probably be able to do it immediately. Thinking about how he had previously lost half of his Battalion's comrades' lives to protect him from delivering the information, and how his subordinate Knights still trusted him so much even now, Zhao Handong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. How did such a person manage to lead their troops to such a state? What kind of combat strength would this troop have when they reached the battlefield?

Zhao Handong shook his head lightly, throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, and said: "Please bring me into the residence, Lord Kong has just returned, he has been waiting for you for the past few days."

Chen Chu smiled faintly, tidied up his military uniform and followed Zhao Handong into the Castellan Mansion.

Kong Sheng sat at the main seat, the five provinces and several other people's Border Army respectively sat at his left and right sides. After Zhao Handong brought Chen Chu to the hall, he sat down as well, leaving Chen Chu standing there alone.

Chen Chu did not mind, he walked to the center of the group casually, lifted up his robes and knelt down on one knee, then said loudly: "Reporting to surrogate commander Kong, I will not disappoint Sir Chen Chu and blow up the Phoenix Lakeside embankment, then the enemy will retreat in flood, I will report this to Sir."

Kong Sheng slapped the table and bellowed: "Chen Chu! Do you know your crime? "

Chen Chu looked up straight at Kong Sheng, and there was even a hint of a smile hanging on his lips: "This lowly general is terrified, do you know what crime I have committed?"

Kong Sheng clenched his teeth and said, "I told you to immediately blow up the dike after you left, but what about you? You dragged on for two days! Do you know how many brothers we lost by delaying for two days? Do you know how many of our brothers you drowned and burned to death?! "

Chen Chu did not answer directly, but asked back, "This lowly general dares to ask, how much did both sides suffer?"

Zhao Handong saw Kong Sheng nod at him and stood up, then said loudly, "In the battle two days ago, we had over 6000 casualties, of which over 400 were from Phoenix City Border Army, and over 5000 were from the five provinces. Moqiu Army losses are unknown, but through the reports of the scouts in the past few days, they are expected to not be less than six or seven thousand. "

Before Zhao Handong could finish his words, Chen Chu had already lowered his head once again and shouted loudly, "Congratulations Lord Kong for achieving an unparalleled military achievement, destroying seven thousand devil soldiers with five thousand people's militia!"

Kong Sheng's voice trembled in anger, his middle finger pointed straight at Chen Chu, trembling as he said, "Chen Dui, do you know that out of the six thousand plus people, at least three thousand were drowned by the water you poured out?!"

"So what?" There was a trace of provocation in Chen Chu's tone as his gaze fleetingly swept across the several provincial officials and finally met Kong Sheng's gaze. "Lord Kong, for your Border Army to be able to fight evenly against Moqiu Army is already considered not bad, what about these people's militia? If you let them slash at you with a blade, will these six thousand people be able to kill seven thousand Moqiu Army? Even if he sent another six thousand, he still wouldn't be able to do it, right? I am using a large wave of water and six thousand lives in exchange for the seven thousand lives of Moqiu Army and a few days of rest.

"Impudent!" Please take note of your attitude when you speak to the adults! " Zhao Handong suddenly stood up, and looked straight at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu turned around and glanced at Zhao Handong, his face once again adorned with his infuriating, cold smile.

"You mean that people's militia can be consumed at will?" Kong Sheng trembled in anger.

Chen Chu's tone became quite a bit more respectful: "I would like to ask Sir, on the battlefield, everyone is a pawn, in order to kill the enemy, what is there to not consume?"

"Bastard!" "Preposterous!" His position was originally one level higher than Chen Chu's White Feather Battalion Commander, so the losses to his subordinate people's militia were the biggest. Adding to that, he had the most experience and was the most senior, so he did have the qualifications to knock Chen Chu on the table.

Chen Chu's smile carried undisguised ridicule: "How about you bring back your master's people's militia s to fight a bit, and bring back a few thousand heads of your Moqiu Army s?"

"You! "You!" Xu Tiankong was so angry that he couldn't speak, he turned to Kong Sheng and said, "Lord Kong, give me an explanation!"

Kong Sheng shook his head helplessly. In the past few days, he had heard the words "why don't you give me an explanation" the most. Isn't it just about asking for money and getting a job? There was a pension for the fallen soldiers, but how much of it would fall into the hands of these soldiers? Moreover, this Sir Guan Zai probably wanted to retreat to the B-list rankings to recuperate under the name of 'too much damage' and leave this place far behind, right? They didn't dare to leave during the war, but they wouldn't let go if they had an excuse.

Kong Sheng did not bother with Xu Tianzhi, he pointed at Chen Chu and said, "Master Chen, you did follow my orders to blow up the dike, but you deliberately delayed it, causing unnecessary losses to our army, you must take this responsibility."

"I don't receive orders from an emperor. Lord Kong should have heard of this saying, right?" Chen Chu's face was filled with disdain.

Kong Sheng did not bother responding to his words at all, and continued to speak. "Disobeying the orders, causing unprovoked casualties, it is already enough to face the ultimate punishment of the Imperial Military Discipline, and according to the rules, it should be resolved!"

Chen Chu raised his eyebrows, and replied in a loud and clear voice, "According to the Imperial Military Discipline s, each person is rewarded with five silvers, each person was rewarded with a hundred silvers, and each person was awarded a hundred thousand silver. This humble general would like to ask Master, if you have already punished her, how will you win the prize?! "

Kong Sheng abruptly raised his head, as he stared at Chen Chu with shining eyes, and said word by word. "This official will report to the Phoenix Emperor, His Majesty, and the timely Grand Commander, and follow the rules to chase after him. I have promised you that I will take care of your affairs! "

Chen Chu's pupils shrunk to a narrow hole, "Is Lord Kong really going to cut off this lowly general's head?"

"That's right!" Kong Sheng suddenly stood up, and looked straight at Chen Chu. This time, his aura was extremely oppressive. Not to mention the few management belts from the five northern provinces, even Zhao Handong who had been through battles for a long time did not dare to make a sound. Kong Sheng held onto the blade on his waist, and shouted to the guards on his left and right. "Take him down!" Two sturdy guards from left and right immediately pressed Chen Chu down there.

Chen Chu suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Lord Kong Kong Sheng, surrogate commander Kong, you can't kill me! I am a direct bestowed to you by Commander Shi Keren, you cannot kill me! "

Kong Sheng slammed his waist blade on the table and shouted sternly, "This blade was personally bestowed to Commander Shi Keren of the north of the empire Battle Zone, when no one is under his command, it cannot be cut!"

Chen Chu struggled to pull out an arm and reached into his robes. He tore off a jade pendant from his neck and held it up high: "This is the late emperor's gift to the Phoenix Blood Pendant! I am a member of the royal family, you cannot kill me! "

The moment he said this, everyone was shocked!

The new Fire Phoenix Emperor was the granddaughter of the previous Emperor, and the new Emperor was only slightly over twenty years old. This Chen Chu was also only slightly over twenty years old, if he had a jade pendant that the previous Emperor bestowed upon him, and was a member of the Imperial Family, then he would be someone who could sit at the same level as the current Fire Phoenix Emperor!

Moreover, to speak of great disrespect, the late emperor had been an outstanding and elegant person. Although he had only left behind a single child like the crown prince, he had also ended up as a white-haired man sending away the black-haired man. However, this was on the surface, who knew what was going on in private? For example, the jade pendant on Chen Chu's body, was most likely the keepsake left by the late emperor for the unknown woman after he had gone out of his way. Moreover, the Phoenix Blood Pendant was unique to the Imperial Family. Although it couldn't be considered a precious treasure, it still wasn't something that they could casually obtain. Putting everything else aside, just the words "Phoenix Blood Pendant" wasn't something that an ordinary person could understand.

In short, Chen Chu could not kill him with his own blade!

Xu Tiankong walked in front of Chen Chu and squatted down to hold the jade pendant in his hands. After a while, he saw that the jade pendant was the size of a walnut, with the shape of a drop of blood, and the jade was white and lush with green. There was a phoenix shaped red dot in the middle, exactly the same as the Phoenix Blood Pendant that he had seen before. Xu Tianxiong's hands trembled as he returned the jade pendant to Chen Chu, then he turned to look at Kong Sheng and nodded heavily.

Kong Sheng shut his eyes tightly. After a long while, he took in a deep breath, pointed at Chen Chu and hatefully said, "Fine, I can't kill you, but I'm a surrogate commander of the Phoenix City Pass. I can't kill you, but I can lock you up!" Saying that, Kong Sheng shouted once again, "Take him down! When I personally make my report, the commander will make his decision! "

Seeing the guards carry Chen Chu away with a face filled with sneer, Kong Sheng sighed to himself. When was the calamity of the Phoenix City Pass going to end?
