Peerless Taoist

Song Qingfeng sternly said, "Messenger of King Qi, what is he doing here?"    

Although the Heavenly Chong Pass was also King Qi's fief, it belonged directly to the Imperial Court, and King Qi had no right to interfere.    

This King usually kept a low profile. Although he was the most powerful person in the East Victory Galaxy, his influence was usually limited to a limited area around the Imperial Residence.    

It was truly strange for King Qi to suddenly send an envoy.    

Yin Tianming said, "Could it be that King Qi sent a rescue letter to King Qi's Imperial Residence to deliver resources?"    

This was somewhat possible.    

The eyes of some of the Great Generals present also lit up.    

The resources in the city had been extremely scarce since the start of the battle. If King Qi was able to provide assistance in time, he would be able to alleviate the pressure in the Heavenly Charging Pass.    

Lu Yu said, "Let's go and meet this envoy of King Qi."    

In the guest hall of the central camp.    

Lu Yu and a red-robed official sat at the head seat.    

Song Qingfeng, Yin Tianming, Leng Wuxiang, and a row of subordinates sat on both sides of the seats.    

"I didn't expect Marquis Wen Xing to suffer such a catastrophe. The Tang army is so ferocious. I didn't expect this to happen." The red-robed official pursed his tea leaves and heaved a long sigh.    

He was the chief official of the Qi Imperial Residence, Cong Zijin.    

The other officials were all subordinates of the Qi Imperial Residence and had come with Cong Zijin.    

Lu Yu said, "What is the purpose of Lord Cong's visit this time?"    

He was now in charge of the military and political power of the Heavenly Charging Pass, and he still had to take care of many things every day. He had a lot of matters to take care of at all times. Furthermore, Lu Yu still needed time to recover, so he did not have much time to waste here.    

Cong Zijin stroked his beard and said, "I am under the orders of Prince Qi to inquire about the situation at the front line. Is it really possible to resist the Tang army's attack?"    

The others finally understood what King Qi meant.    

This was also reasonable. After all, the East Victory Galaxy was King Qi's fief. Now that the Tang army had arrived, the one who was most nervous was none other than King Qi.    

Lu Yu said, "The situation is very clear. The Tang army will definitely lose."    

"Oh? But I heard that during the period when Wen Xing Hou was in charge of the Heavenly Charging Pass, when our army wins, we lose more, and our troops lose more and more men. Even he himself... They were also trapped in the enemy siege. The Heavenly Vision Pass was as dangerous as an egg and could fall at any moment. The king suspects that the defending troops really have the ability to defend the pass."    

Hearing Cong Zijin's words, the Great Generals present clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger.    

This sort of battle record was a disgrace to many of the old generals in the army.    

However, what Cong Zijin said was the truth, and they were powerless to refute it.    

"If I am here, the Tang army will not be able to attack!"    

Lu Yu said indifferently.    

This was not blind confidence. It was a calmness that could only be obtained when one grasped absolute strength.    

The people of the Heavenly Charging Pass finally revealed a smile on their faces. They had witnessed Lu Yu's strength before, and now, they were filled with confidence in him.    

"Lord Lu is the top scholar in the new subject and also the disciple of the Grand Tutor. We can be at ease with you keeping watch. But you are alone. For the entire battle, it is just a drop in the bucket. " Cong Zijin shook his head. He still appeared dissatisfied.    

Lu Yu could tell there was something in the other party's words. He frowned. "What do you mean?"    

Cong Zijin looked at the side of Tian Chong Pass and said, "His Royal Highness is kind to the people. When two dynasties go to war, blood will flow like rivers and corpses will be found everywhere. It would be better to have a happy conversation with each other so that you can end the war and cultivate in peace. "
