Chapter 634: Chapter 54: All Swordsmen Should Enter the Imperial Palace for a Drink!_4

Jiang Gao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? The atmosphere of the Northern Domain and Jiangnan can’t simply merge together, our Ying Country’s capable officials and fierce generals don’t just sit around doing nothing."

"Besides, our father is in the prime of his life, with all the civil and military officials more than willing to die for him, so what great change could there be?"

Jiang Cai looked at him. "Jiang Yuan already harbors malicious intentions towards you, and you still don’t realize it?"

Jiang Gao fell silent for a long time.

His palm caressed the scrolls as he gave a faint smile and spoke softly, "Yes, I know, but he is my brother, my blood brother, of the same father and mother, our blood is connected. He, along with father, are the closest people to me in this world after our mother’s death."

"I still remember when mother was gravely ill, father dealing with the aristocratic families outside, facing the Taiping Duke, my brother and I holding mother’s hand, not knowing when we fell asleep. When I woke up early, seeing my brother’s eyelashes in the sunlight, I thought about how this person shares the same blood as me, and a sudden warmth filled my heart, making me less afraid of mother’s departure."

"But eventually father will leave this world, and if I were to also fall out with my blood brother, then I truly would be alone."

"I don’t wish for that."

Jiang Cai looked deeply at him, her voice tinged with helplessness, "The way His Majesty raised you into someone of such benevolence, I do not know whether it’s good or bad. Forget it, let’s take what was just said as a joke."

"I will find a way to extinguish that momentum."

"At the very least, to block it."

"Today the Western Regions and..."

Suddenly, a burst of noise came from outside, followed by the neighing of soldiers and horses. Jiang Cai froze, and then said urgently, "Does Li Guanyi and the Qilin Army really dare to make a direct assault on the gate?!"

Jiang Gao had already rushed outside.

This place was guarded by a thousand Tiger Barbarian Cavalry to prevent the Qilin Army’s fierce generals from entering Ying Country’s inner domain. Supporting them were two thousand auxiliary cavalry and three thousand heavy-armored soldiers, totaling a formidable force of six thousand, all brave and fierce.

The camp faced the Qilin Army.

The plan was to use this overwhelming force to coerce Li Guanyi into retreat.

Jiang Gao arrived in haste, only to see that the barracks on the other side showed no movement, the Qilin Army was as usual. He was initially puzzled, but then immediately noticed the Tiger Barbarian Cavalry beginning to maneuver, the famed generals already armed and looking extremely grave.

Jiang Gao asked, "General Feng, what’s happening?!"

The general answered, "Someone is attempting to break through the gate!"

The Crown Prince looked on, slightly taken aback.

The gate crashers were just a pair, an old man and a young boy. A green-robed swordsman sauntered forward, carrying a wine jug, his temples lightly floating in the breeze. He said, "Guan Yi, leave the troops here to avoid bloodshed between your Qilin Army, Jiangnan, and Ying Country’s soldiers."

"Today, it’s just an old man seeking an explanation from Ying Country, how about it, care to join me?"

Feng Yuanmeng’s expression darkened, his hand lifted.

Three thousand heavy cavalry simultaneously raised their war spears, and three thousand heavy crossbowmen lifted their crossbow arrows, with generals leading them, the military formation transformed into a Dharma Form resembling a pack of wolves. This was a formation that Li Guanyi needed to evade.

Murong Longtu asked Li Guanyi, "Drinking wine should be done in the most scenic place. Do you know where the best place to drink is?"

"In Ying Country’s Imperial Palace."

"Let’s go, Guan Yi, accompany this old man."

The eyes of the general on the other side had already widened in shock, his forehead dripping with cold sweat as he shouted:

"Halt!"

"Sword Madman, halt!"

After pausing, as he saw the old man steadily approaching, his nerves became tightly wound, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, not letting the Sword Madman advance any further, he suddenly bellowed, "Attack!!!!"

The sound of the highest-grade mechanical crossbows firing erupted fiercely and abruptly with a buzz.

Three thousand crossbows sounded as one!

Thus, the crossbow arrows shot forward violently, the military formation roared, and the Sword Madman, unconcerned, held his sword. People said that a military formation that dominated the battlefield was invincible, that no matter what kind of Grandmaster or martial artist you were, under the trampling of a great army, there would only be one outcome: death.

Yet, on this day, there was a green-robed old man carrying a wine jug, calmly traversing past the six thousand Armored Soldiers. He didn’t really kill anyone; his sword didn’t even leave its scabbard. It was as if he merely wanted to have a drink with his great-grandson.

Six thousand heavy-armored soldiers couldn’t stop a waning man!

He simply took Li Guanyi not far, as if they had crossed a distance of a thousand miles, arriving at the gates of the Imperial City of Ying Country. The old man’s white hair was neatly tied, his green robes fluttering. He stared ahead.

The wide Imperial Path before the Imperial Palace opened up, deserted.

Yuwen Lie was armored, spear in hand.

Behind him, the White Tiger Dharma Form raised its paws, roaring majestically.

The fifth Divine General led the charge personally!

Murong Longtu, with wine jug in left hand, Li Guanyi following behind.

Yuwen Lie charged fiercely, his aura soaring to the heavens.

This was the pinnacle clash!

Murong Longtu’s momentum was momentarily disrupted by Yuwen Lie.

But his footsteps did not stop; he took another step, and the momentum that was cut off by Yuwen Lie’s fierce charge reconnected, grew anew, while the Divine General’s charge couldn’t be initiated again so swiftly. Yuwen Lie turned, only to see the green-robed old man had reached the forbidden gates of the Imperial Palace.

The Green Robed Sword Madman looked up at the moonlit Imperial Palace and the highest Star-picking Tower.

He suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Jiangnan owns nothing."

"Merely adds a branch of spring."

"This old man is here to invite you to drink."

With a flick of his wrist, the wine from the jug cascaded out, the old man’s palm swirled, and with a flick of a finger, the roar of Sword Qi surged skyward, striking right before the gates of the Imperial Palace.

Boom!!!

The door, symbolizing the absolute authority of the secular world, was blasted open.

Behind the door, three hundred imperial iron cavalry fell before a single person.

Green robes flared.

The Sword Madman, challenging the gate, drinking wine!
