Although the personal guards temporarily held the upper hand, Mu Xuan couldn't be happy. He knew that the personal guards had done their best, but the personal guards that Lu Yan had brought were skillful.

Fortunately, Li Jun was in charge of the personal guards, while the leader of the personal guards, Lu Xin, was tightly restrained by Qian Zhu's group of four with the aid of the array.

"Going first is not an option!" Master Hou, hurry up and think of a way! "

Ye Ling looked somewhat anxious. Although these personal guards were the elites of the 100,000 troops that Ye Cheng had brought out, they were not comparable to the personal guards of the Lu Kingdom. After all, personal guards were unique to the royal family. To be able to achieve such a feat, Ye Ling, who was extremely knowledgeable in the army, knew that it wasn't bad at all.

Ye Ling was anxious and Mu Xuan was anxious as well. But there was nothing he could do! Although Li Yao used an impressive magic formation to counterattack, the personal guards had too little time to train, so they couldn't display their full strength.

As long as he could display his full strength, the personal guards had a good chance of winning.

What he didn't know was that Lu Yan was more anxious than he was. Mu Xuan's personal guards, regardless of their previous status, had only been established recently, and they were able to display such power in the hands of Li Xin and a few others. This was far beyond his expectations.

"Mu Xuan, why don't we have something more intense?" If this continues, I don't know how long it will take for the outcome to be decided. We'll just watch from the side. What do you think? "

Join together?

It wasn't that Mu Xuan didn't want to, but he had never come into contact with the personal guards before. Mu Xuan wasn't sure what kind of power he could unleash in his hands.

However, he was certain that the power displayed by his personal army in the hands of Lu Yan wasn't any weaker than that of Lu Xin, or even stronger. In that case, agreeing to Lu Yan's suggestion would be an absolutely wrong decision.

Moreover, ever since the news of the marquis had arrived, he had been busy with matters of the marquis. Was it really possible for him to command an army that he had never come in contact with before? In the beginning, he had planned to command both the Wolf Army and the personal guards well, but that was all he did.

Liu Zixuan knew that Mu Xuan was troubled, and solemnly vowed to Lu Yan, "I say, L? brat, what's the point of comparing him to our Marquis? If you have the ability to do so, let's spar for a bit. Even though you don't have as many people as I do, I'm definitely not afraid! "

Mu Xuan didn't say anything but thought to himself, "You are definitely not afraid. You are the imperial guard that Darchu spent countless resources to cultivate, and Lu Yan's is just a slightly nurtured and important guard of the Lu Kingdom. He belongs to the royal family and is of a completely different rank.

Lu Yan's face twitched. If Mu Xuan could think of it, how could he not? Liu Zixuan's words were simply a scam, but he couldn't be too impudent. After all, Mu Xuan was a duke, and he didn't even have a seat.

In order to help Lu Yan, a powerhouse beside him chuckled and said: "Since Young Noble Liu wants to take action, then we will accompany you. Why do you need my Young Marquis to help? Isn't this just a matter of losing face? "

Lu Yan was very satisfied with these words. Not only did he praise them and raise his own status, but he also belittled Liu Zixuan's status and hurt himself. These words were very good.

At this moment, he was only a general under Mu Xuan. Although his position was not low, equivalent to the general of the Song Dynasty, how many people would give him face after leaving this territory under Mu Xuan's jurisdiction?

Hadn't he deliberately belittled Lu Yan's position just now?

Seeing that his personal guards were about to be defeated under Li Kan's command, Mu Xuan braced himself and said, "Since the young prince wants to play, let's just play. It's not like we're going to hurt your mood."

In this way, the personal guards would be able to defeat Mu Xuan even faster. When the time came, not only would the reputation of the army rise, but the prestige of the army would also be destroyed, resulting in Mu Xuan losing his prestige and killing two birds with one stone.

Without hesitating any longer, Mu Xuan walked up to Li Kan in a vigorous and spirited manner, wanting to end the topic of Li Kan's position and take command of his personal guards.

Lu Yan also walked over to the troops he had brought with him. The three people who were in charge of the tasks were in charge of each other, and if he wanted to beat Mu Xuan and make a name for himself, it would be perfect if he could make Mu Xuan stay.

"Young prince, this way!"

Mu Xuan made a gesture of invitation and, before Lu Yan could react, commanded the personal guards to form another formation. Mu Xuan didn't know how to direct a formation, so he assigned a thousand men to protect his own safety. The other four were divided into four parts and formed the formation that Wu Ling and her team practiced.

Although it would take some time, the personal guards were more adaptable than Mu Xuan had expected. They could adapt to his commands quickly and form a battle formation according to his orders.

On the other hand, even though Lu Yan's personal army was brought out by him, he had never been in control of it. In the beginning, his arrangement wasn't as good as Mu Xuan's, which was why he gave Mu Xuan the opportunity to regroup and attack.

Liu Zixuan, who had been watching, was impressed by Mu Xuan's ability to command the personal guards so quickly.

"The duke is indeed the duke. No wonder father and the others praised this little cousin of theirs!"

There was a hint of admiration in his words. His father's and Marquis Song's praise was not easy to come by! Among the younger generation, he was considered outstanding. However, he had never been praised by his father. Mu Xuan was not only the marquis, but also his father, uncle, and others. How enviable was that!

Chen Gong smiled mysteriously, "I say, Sir General, you have underestimated Master Hou. This is not only due to his ability, but also due to the teachings of Li Kan and the other comrades. They have been instilling the principle of commanding the military, allowing them to adapt to any commander's commands as fast as possible. Otherwise, do you really think that Master Hou is a genius?"

Nodding his lips, he let Liu Zixuan look at Lu Yan and said, "Look at that, he was just promising something just now. What about now? "He's far worse than our marquis."

Judging from Lu Yan's personal performance and the fact that his personal guards were in Li Kan's hands just now, it seemed that there were quite a number of capable men gathered around Mu Xuan! He had to work hard! In case he fell behind.

Liu Zixuan stopped talking and turned his attention back to Mu Xuan.

Chen Gong and Ye Ling also became nervous. Because the personal guards were not as good as the personal guards. This was indisputable. In the end, would they be able to win?

Even if he couldn't win, would he be able to draw? Or perhaps, it would be fine if he could hold on for a little longer!

Not only them, the others, as long as they were on Mu Xuan's side, tensed up. They prayed that Mu Xuan would win. No matter what, they would at least tie with him.

On the other side, on Lu Yan's side, Lu Xin had already been released because of Lu Yan's battle with Mu Xuan. On the other side, on Lu Yan's side, Lu Yan had already been released because of Lu Yan's fight with Mu Xuan.

Even if they won, wasted too much time and missed something, it wouldn't be worth it. This would fulfill Mu Xuan's good name, delay the proper business, and not try to curry favor with him. However, what could he do if he was anxious? This was a contest between the masters of both sides. No matter how worried he was, he could only stand to the side and worry.

"Personal army, listen to my commands, charge with all your strength!"

Once he controlled his personal army and repelled Mu Xuan's first wave of attacks, Lu Yan had no idea how to counter and allow five thousand people to rush towards Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan, who had originally been profiting from this, couldn't do anything in the face of Lu Yan's unruly attacks. Even so, he didn't need to worry about the rules, he was only afraid of the rules.

With rules and regulations, everything was easy to handle. Without rules, one could do whatever he wanted. Who could know what a person's heart was thinking? If he could, there were only two possibilities.

The Ancient Regions probably didn't have such people, because they had met the top experts in the Ancient Regions who had reached the Heavenly Completion Stage before. They didn't know what they were thinking, so in the face of an attack without any rules, no one in the Ancient Regions had a good idea.

The other method was based on talent. One could read the minds of others and gain the upper hand. However, these kinds of people had only existed in legends and had never been seen in person.

"Hehe, to be honest, this kind of attack, I learned it from you! If I didn't know that there was no specific reason for you to do anything, I wouldn't have thought of messing around. Let's see how you resolve it now. "

After Lu Yan's first attack, Mu Xuan didn't have enough time to organize a second attack and defense. Facing Lu Yan's helpless attacks, he was even forced to retreat step by step.

Mu Xuan frowned, but he still couldn't think of any solution to the situation.

By reorganizing his troops, Lu Yan definitely wouldn't give him a chance. But if he didn't organize his troops, would he have to continue being defeated and retreating like this?

But what could he do if he didn't retreat? Did he give the order to fight head on? Would these personal guards of his, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, be a match for him? But otherwise, he wouldn't be able to think of any other solution.

"Master Hou, shall we go get them?"

He was thinking about how to resolve the current situation. There was actually a major general who wanted to assist him, that was nonsense. With four thousand people being attacked, once the thousand people protecting him were allowed to join the chaotic battlefield, he would no longer have any chance of winning, much less having a draw.

Perhaps he had noticed Mu Xuan's worry, the major general continued, "Master Hou, we have yet to use our trump cards. Don't be afraid of them."

The other one, who was also standing beside Mu Xuan, snickered. "Hehe!" "When the time comes, we will definitely give them a big surprise. Those hardships, we did not take them for free. Moreover, Master Hou has treated us well, so no matter what, we must help Master Hou solve his problem!"

Mu Xuan didn't know where they had gotten their confidence from, but he still chose to trust them. He divided the remaining one thousand men into five groups of two hundred men each and continued to form the formation to support the four thousand men who had been attacked. The remaining two hundred men to protect him.

It wasn't that they were afraid of death. Once something went wrong with the general, this team, no matter how strong they were, would forever be defeated.

If someone was able to take the general's head from the army, then it would mean that one army had an absolute advantage over the other and they would be defeated.

Mu Xuan had left a portion of his men in formation to protect himself.

He already had the experience of using Wu Ling's group of four to fight his enemies. Although the number of people in the regrouping was much smaller, the quality was much higher than the first time. Once one person was saved, the four thousand people would slowly be rescued one by one.

As for Mu Xuan, Lu Yan couldn't do anything about it either, because he couldn't form a team to deal with Mu Xuan's rescue team in a short amount of time. Although it was the same formation, the first time Mu Xuan attacked was for defense. Even if he couldn't form a team, he didn't have the confidence to break through the defense in a short amount of time.

Therefore, when Mu Xuan reassembled the formation and saved more and more people, Lu Yan gave up on attacking them. He also reorganized his team and prepared to fight against Mu Xuan next time.

After Li Yao saw his two men whisper in Mu Xuan's ear, Mu Xuan rescued four thousand men and forced Lu Yan's personal army to retreat. He was filled with pride.

The ultimate trump card of the personal guards was set by him. No matter who commanded it, with just a single order, they would definitely be able to surprise everyone. This plan was endlessly praised by Qian Zhu and the other two who didn't know much about military matters.

Lu Xin, who was watching everything from afar, noticed Li Kan's expression and also saw someone whispering something into Mu Xuan's ear. His heart began to fill with suspicion.

It suddenly occurred to him that although the personal guards had suffered some casualties, they didn't show any signs of panic, as if everything was still under their control. Could it be that Mu Xuan, who had just established his personal guard, was hiding some unknown trump card?

However, thinking that his personal guards had their trump cards and his worries were dispelled, he didn't believe that his personal guards who had just been established after countless rounds of selections could not compare to Mu Xuan's newly established personal guards.

Not only did Lu Xin think this way, but even Lu Yan was thinking the same thing. He didn't believe that the personal guards that had just been established would be able to resist his personal army.

Mu Xuan reorganized the troops and soon calculated that out of the five thousand personal guards, he had already lost dozens of men and hundreds more who could no longer fight. Such a loss was truly hard for Mu Xuan to accept.
