C48 Trouble on the road

After Hu Xiong killed Hua Ben, he hurriedly brought over a hundred Imperial guards s and flew out of the North Gate.

Just as he left the North Gate, he saw a pile of corpses, including a portion of the Imperial guards s, but he did not see Nan Jifu and the others.

Hu Xiong looked at his surroundings again, but didn't see any other rebel army approaching. Only then did he head towards the north to chase after Nan Jifu and the others.

As for the three thousand Death Soldier s who had been resisting Duan Zhi all this while, they were also killed cleanly. Duan Zhi brought the remaining soldiers and swiftly chased all the way to North Gate, only then did they realize that there was a problem with Lin Chongxi's arrangement.

Originally, he planned to ask Lin Chongxi if he wanted to search the entire country for him, but he suddenly realised that Lin Chongxi had other motives for arranging his troops like this.

Right at this time, Lin Chongxi suddenly appeared on top of the walls of North Gate, looking towards the north with an extremely cold gaze. He looked tall and well-built, with a straight back and a proud air about him.

"This subject pays his respects to our Emperor. Long live and long live our Emperor!"

Duan Zhi and the other Soldiers s also noticed Lin Chongxi, so they knelt down and shouted loudly, as if to announce to the world under Jin Nan that the name of Jin Nan Country had changed, and that the name of Jin Nan had changed to Lin.

Lin Chongxi did not care about him, and continued to look coldly towards the north.

Half a month later, the Jin Nan Country officially changed hands. Even though it caused quite a stir, Lin Chongxi was personally in charge of the military, and no one dared to resist him.

Duan Zhi had achieved his wish of becoming the Great General, but he was not able to control the army like Hu Xiong had. He was also clear as to why Lin Chongxi had done this. His ambition forced to be on his guard.

Of course, under the protection of the Grand Princess, who was also the present empress, all the imperial concubines in Nan Jifu's harem were fine, and were still enjoying the dignity and honor that a royal family should have.

Everything happened too suddenly, Lin Jingquan only found out about his parents' actions the second day after his parents rebelled. However, what had happened had already happened. He wanted to stop it, but it was already too late. He found it even more difficult to refute his parents' arguments for him to ascend to the throne.

Ever since Nan Jifu and the others escaped, they had been fleeing in the northeast direction. However, they did not encounter any Jin Nan Country soldiers who chased after them.

It seemed that they were planning to borrow troops from the Yan Yun Country, so it was better not to get involved in the matters of the Central Plains. After all, the Fan Jue Country was too valiant, if they had the chance to interfere in the matters of the Central Plains, the conflicts in the Central Plains would no longer be as simple as they were.

During this period of time, Wei Yutian had already woken up from his coma, he still had a look of craziness and foolishness, but when he saw anyone or anything, he would smile foolishly, without a care in the world.

Along the way to the Yan Yun Country, what used to be a very dry and barren road, was actually filled with joy because of this crazy and silly person, Wei Yutian. Nan Jifu, Hu Xiong and Bai Sheng all felt happy and satisfied because of this simple laughter. This was something they could not understand when they were once at the peak of the temple.

Three months later, the Jin Nan Country officially started a war with the An Wan Country. They received close to a hundred thousand captives and a large amount of money and fodder from the Western Qin. Not only could they endure through a war, they could also gather money and fodder to enlist young refugees who wished to join the army in the surrounding area to enlarge their troops.

In the end, the Jin Nan Country actually formed a total of five hundred thousand troops. This kind of army could be counted as the top ten in the entire hundred countries of Central Plains. An Wan Country was also not simple. After constantly eroding the territory of other countries, they now had four hundred and fifty thousand troops.

Nan Jifu and the others who were on their way to Yan Yun Country were safe and sound. After all, there were hundreds of strong and powerful Imperial guards s, and no matter whether it was the refugees or the bandit s, they did not dare to provoke them.

On this day, a group of ragged looking, blood-covered refugees ran over from the direction of the Yan Yun Country. However, when the refugees saw Nan Jifu and the others dressed in armor, with weapons in their hands, they all ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

Seeing that situation, Hu Xiong rushed forward, wanting to find out the reason behind their escape.

"Brother, there is no need to be afraid. We are scattered soldiers. What happened earlier?"

"You, you all, are not Zhen Liao Country's soldiers?"

"Zhen Liao Country? We are not, you are escaping towards the direction of the Yan Yun Country, could it be that the Yan Yun Country and the Zhen Liao Country are fighting? "

Hu Xiong had already guessed the condition of the Yan Yun Country, but he still had to confirm it clearly.

"We are refugees from the Yan Yun Country, and the Yan Yun Country is in imminent danger. I advise you all to not head towards the Yan Yun Country anymore.

"Is the Yan Yun Country in danger? Then what about Great General Tong Shibai, is he unable to stop the attacks of the Zhen Liao Country? "

"General Tong? Oh, oh, he may be dead! "

These words caused Hu Xiong to be in disbelief, who was Tong Shibai, how could he have died in battle like that, and the person who answered in such a stutter, there must be a problem.

However, Hu Xiong did not dare to take Nan Jifu and the rest's lives as a joke, because if it was as the refugees had said, they would have to agree on whether to change the route and head to the Fan Jue Country.

Just as they were discussing, a large amount of troops rushed over from the direction of Yan Yun Country, causing the refugees who had not run far away to quickly hide themselves. It seemed that they were not as simple as ordinary refugees.

The rushing army, with the word "Lu" on the side of the tree, was obviously the army of the Zhen Liao Country.

Hu Xiong and the others quickly surrounded Nan Jifu and the crown prince to protect them.

"Which army are you in?"

A general riding on a horse from the True Liaoning Army looked at Hu Xiong and the rest arrogantly, while all the soldiers that came forward acted as if they were ready to kill at any moment.

"May I have your name, General?" Nan Jifu stood out and said. It was clear that he did not want to directly answer the other party's question, and regardless of whether or not he revealed his identity, the other party had not come with good intentions.

"I am the general of the Zhen Liao Country's left wing, General Zhuang Dezhong. I am your brother's equipment is extraordinary, wearing an embroidered belt, looking like a respectable person. Do you see a group of refugees whose bodies are covered in blood passing by?" Zhuang Dezhong asked.

Nan Jifu did not want to endanger the lives of others, so he said that he did not see it.

But at this time, in order to preserve everyone's lives, Hu Xiong directly opened his mouth and said: "I saw it earlier, they didn't run too far away, but now they have disappeared. They must have found a place to hide."

In order to protect everyone, Nan Jifu did not accuse Hu Xiong of being a refugee out of injustice.

"Where are they? Send 500 soldiers to the front to search. Not a single one will be left if they find one."

Zhuang Dezhong's face was filled with killing intent, causing Hu Xiong and the rest to feel extremely unhappy, but they were helpless against it.

After receiving their orders, they brought their soldiers and started to search in the distance. However, Zhuang Dezhong did not have any intentions of letting Nan Jifu and the others go.

"You guys also seem to be well-trained. I assume it's some dispersed army? How about you join my true Liaoning army?" "Rest assured, as long as we have the ability, our army will never bury our talents." Zhuang Dezhong had a friendly face when he recruited the troops, but he no longer had his previous overbearing attitude.

No one said a word, they all looked at Nan Jifu.

Not only did Nan Jifu keep silent, he also indicated for everyone to move away from the berserk Wei Yutian, as if he had already figured out the rule of Wei Yutian going berserk.

Naturally, no one knew what Nan Jifu was trying to do, but they gave way to him.

As for the friendly expression on Zhuang Dezhong's face, it also stiffened all of a sudden and he even more so didn't understand what that meant.

"With my good intentions, I've recruited you into my True Liaoning Army, and you guys actually dare to use a madman to face me. This is too unreasonable."

Zhuang Dezhong's attitude changed greatly, it seemed that he was also an irritable person, he immediately flew up, and was about to kill Nan Jifu.

Hu Xiong hurriedly used his palm to meet Zhuang Dezhong's attack head on.

The two palms came into contact, sending billows of qi into the surroundings and causing gusts of wind to blow against each other.

Zhuang Dezhong's face was filled with surprise, he did not expect that the opposing camp had people with high cultivation, and he clearly felt the extremely strong inner strength on Hu Xiong's body, obviously stronger than him by a lot, but the opponent did not have the intention of killing him with one palm strike.

Knowing that the other party was not someone to be trifled with, Zhuang Dezhong hurriedly withdrew his palm and flew back to his horse.

"May I ask what is your name and how is your kung fu?"

"I don't want to stir up any trouble. If you continue to be disrespectful to my family's lord, then don't blame me for pulling your head off."

Hu Xiong's cold appearance was really scary. He said this because he naturally believed Zhuang Dezhong's position, and it would be easy for him to kill him. As long as he could grab hold of the general, no matter how many enemies he had, it would all be for naught.

Hearing that, Zhuang Dezhong's face turned dark. Although he was wary of Hu Xiong's powerful martial arts, he still had thousands of soldiers behind him. Killing these hundreds of people would not take much effort.
