Chapter 759: Chapter 629: The Entire Army Opens Fire! (5000 Word Chapter)_2

One of the letters is a letter of appointment, appointing Shang Hong, ’Daxueshi of Zuochun House, left Shilang of the Ministry of War, and Youdu Yushi’ to be immediately in charge of the major pass city defenses.

"Marquis of Guanjun misunderstood." Shang Hong clenched his fists casually and said, "I am just preventing the worst-case scenario, and mean no harm."

Li Xuan did not refuse directly, but smiled and put the two talisman papers into his sleeves: "This matter is significant, I need to consider it."

Shang Hong felt suffocated, the enemy is already at the front door, yet you’re still considering it?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Xuan’s recent promotions were in charge of several key positions, Shang Hong would not waste time here.

But Li Xuan’s approach was smart. He did not reject it outright but opted for a delaying tactic.

Otherwise, Shang Hong could directly refute the decree and present it to the Emperor.

Shang Hong couldn’t help but took a deep breath: "Governor, are you being too capricious? Even if you do not care about the lives of these hundred thousand soldiers, please consider the millions of people in North Zhili. Once we are defeated on Chengde Mountain, the consequences are unimaginable."

"It’s not that serious. The defenses of several passes like Xifengkou and Gubeikou were all arranged by me. Even if Chengde loses, the various passes can hold on for more than fifteen days. Xueshi Shang, why are you fussing?"

Naturally, Li Xuan would not consider the consequences of preparedness; he looked at Shang Hong diagonally: "I remember the last battle at NanKouGuang, the cabinet did not think highly of me, but at that time, you did not hold me back, and what was the result? Can’t Mr. Shang have more faith in me?"

Shang Hong was speechless, the battle of NanKou Pass was different from now; they had no choice but to try their luck.

Since there is a surefire way, why take the risk?

Li Xuan ignored him and floated into the air. He came to an altar seventeen miles behind the barracks.

This place was built relying on the Dragon Vein, and below it is the position of the ’Dragon’s head’.

If Li Xuan opened the ’Tao-protecting Eyes,’ he could see a huge golden-red illusory dragon coiled in the air above the valley.

This is the Dragon Qi that has flowed out after the Dragon Vein was damaged.

When Li Xuan was cultivating the ’Vast Intent Overlord Tripod’, and drawing Dragon Qi into his body, he had asked Lv Qiluo.

Why is the Dragon Qi called Dragon Qi, and why does its external shape resemble a real dragon?

Lv Qiluo’s answer was that the first overlord of this world was a dragon, and ever since, people’s perception of ’the Qi of Kingly Law’ has been so.

"Yunrou~" When Li Xuan flashed onto the altar, his voice was as ambiguous and intimate as usual, and the sound of the last word was dragged very long, enough to make people feel creepy.

But his words were interrupted because he found an old man in a bright yellow Taoist robe standing in the center of the altar.

Xue Yunrou was standing on one side, signaling him with her eyes.

There was also Jiang Hanyun, her expression was very docile, but her gaze at Li Xuan contained a different luster.

This guy calls ’Yunrou’ so sweetly and intimately.

"Nephew has seen Master Zhang!" Li Xuan immediately looked a little embarrassed and bowed deeply to Zhang Shenye, the current Heavenly Master, on the stage.

He now understood why Xue Yunrou would say she wanted to settle her grievances with Zhang Guanlan in this battle.

"Governor, you are too polite." Zhang Shenye hurriedly avoided it, then turned around and said with a smile, "Governor, you are already the Shaobao of the Dynasty, I can’t afford your ceremony."

Li Xuan thought to himself that he wasn’t worshipping Zhang as a Heavenly Master, but his ’father-in-law’.

Xue Yunrou is now Zhang Shenye’s adopted daughter.

He then got up and said, "Yunrou kept it secret from me that my father-in-law~ Master Zhang was here. If you are here, I can add another thirty percent to my chance of victory today!"

He said, looking at Xue Yunrou with a resentful expression.

Zhang Shenye shook his head: "Don’t blame her, Yunrou has urged me again and again, but I decided to come north only four days ago."

Then he pointed ahead, "Zhang Guanlan’s technique is excellent, and in less than half a day, he has gathered the clouds here. But with me here, I can assure you that there will be no rain on the battlefield today! And the south wind level will be three or above. It’s just that I don’t know if the Marquis of Guanjin can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop as Yunrou said?"

"Master, just wait and see!"

Li Xuan’s eyes showed a burning luster, he came to Xue Yunrou’s altar to observe the wind and clouds in the sky,

Before the battle begins, he needs to make sure that there will be no moderate rain on the battlefield.

And the south wind - this can enhance the range of muskets and arrows to a certain extent.

※※※※

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, at another altar sixty miles away from Chengde Qianhu’s Office, Zhang Guanlan had his hands locked in a position and his brows furrowed.

"It should be Zhang Shenye! He is a junior of mine, the current Heavenly Master. In this world, only this person can beat me in calling rain and storm!"

Apart from Zhang Shenye, there was no one else on this altar, only in front of the altar. There was a young woman dressed in a purple-golden phoenix gown, with a phoenix-shaped cinnabar mark on her brow, she had a wide bone structure, but her face was delicate.

This was the former Empress of the State of Liao, Shulv Ping. She stood with her back to him, looking at the front, "So, you mean, there won’t be rain today, right? Actually, this is better. Although you said that the heavy rain can restrain those muskets, it will also make the crossbows of my Pishi army become slippery."
