251: Chapter 0251 Unable to Suppress It

Eh?

Lin Xiao was a bit stunned by this Heaven Grade achievement reward that fell from the sky.

Because in his memory, his total cultivation shouldn't have reached a thousand years yet...

But upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized!

"Luan Feng Harmony"!

This passive skill from the Sunu Heart Manual allowed him to increase his lifespan, aptitude, and cultivation simply by sublimating his emotions with women!

Unknowingly, he had actually accumulated over nine hundred years, so this time he directly broke through a thousand years of cultivation!

"Not bad, not bad. One thousand prestige points and ten Cephalosporin pills are enough to save dozens of people!"

Lin Xiao found that he didn't feel much pain exchanging prestige for Cephalosporin.

Although the final volume of the Indestructible Golden Body was very important to him.

Being able to save these innocent people was well worth it.

Moreover, to some extent, Prince Bai's crazy actions this time were also forced by him.

"Hyah!"

Lin Xiao spurred his horse on, heading straight for the capital of Sha Prefecture, Suide County!

The one who shot the infected villagers and then threw the corpses into the upstream waters of Huanglong and Yangquan was the Sha Prefecture inspector general, Yan Shifeng!

...

Yong Province, Bai Princes Mansion.

Prince Bai's face was gloomy as he looked at the burly man kneeling on one knee below, wearing silver armor with ancient beast patterns.

The man's skin was dark, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples. From a distance, he looked like an unsheathed precious saber, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Lu Sanchuan, I ordered you to lead the Silver Armor Army to guard against the Azure Dragon Guard. What are you doing back in Yong Province?!"

Prince Bai was furious. As his trusted general, Lu Sanchuan had always been taciturn, only caring about executing military orders.

But this time, he had actually left the front line without permission!?

This was undoubtedly a serious blow to his prestige!!

"My Prince, do you still remember the promise you made to this general back then?" Lu Sanchuan asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Of course I remember. I promised you that before I turn fifty, I will sweep across the world and reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to me!"

"I also promised to let you prove yourself, to show you are not inferior to General Mu Tiexin, so that you are worthy of the title of 'Great General'!"

Lu Sanchuan shook his head. "My Prince, you missed one thing..."

Prince Bai frowned. "What do you mean?"

"My Prince also promised this general that you would seize the world 'fair and square'!!"

Lu Sanchuan's tiger-like eyes shone brightly. "If my Prince wants to raise an army, even if I am regarded as a rebel and a traitor, I, Sanchuan, will not bat an eye."

"The world should belong to a heroic lord. When Emperor Hong ascended the throne, it was only because General Mu Tiexin used schemes and took advantage of a gap. I, Sanchuan, also refused to accept it."

"But now, my Prince listens to the slanders of treacherous villains and uses the schemes of a Poisonous Strategist to spread plague and harm common people... Is this what you call fair and square!?"

Prince Bai was so angry that his veins bulged, and he slammed the table!

"Shut up!!"

Prince Bai threw the teacup at Lu Sanchuan, and the cup shattered on the ground.

Lu Sanchuan remained motionless, his gaze fixed on his lord.

"This plague emerged on its own! I am protecting the people of my territory. What is wrong with driving out those who cannot be cured!?"

"Should I let the plague spread everywhere and finally be forced to order the massacre of a city?!"

Lu Sanchuan asked in return, "If that's the case, then why are rumors being spread everywhere saying that this plague is a divine punishment brought by Lin Xiao of the Zhenbei Army?"

"That Yan Shifeng of Sha Prefecture slaughtered several villages, not even sparing three-year-old children, and threw the corpses into the upper reaches of the Cang River. Who gave him such audacity!?"

"My Prince, if we use such means, even if we eventually defeat Lin Xiao's Zhenbei Army, what difference will there be between us and Li Sihong and General Mu Tiexin of the past!?"

Prince Bai's face turned red and white in turns. He took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

He gave a light laugh. "Great General Lu... then what do you think I should do?"

Lu Sanchuan's expression turned stern. "Kill the Poisonous Strategist Chen Yanqiu, open the granaries to distribute food, and do everything possible to treat the victims!"

"If in the end the plague truly cannot be eradicated, this general is willing to be the one to wield the blade and massacre the city for my Prince! I will bear the infamy for eternity!!"

Prince Bai's eyelid twitched, and a hint of emotion and a sigh flashed in his eyes.

"I can agree to your request, but I have a condition."

"Please speak, my Prince!"

Prince Bai stood up and said in a low voice, "I want you to concentrate your forces and take advantage of the Zhenbei Army being occupied with the plague to head straight for Qin Province and eliminate Prince Qing!!"

Lu Sanchuan was slightly stunned, then immediately realized that the situation in the north was completely different from a few months ago!

Prince Yan is dead, Princess Li Xinglan's foundation is unstable, and her troops are scarce, so she is not a concern.

And although the Zhenbei Army is brave, they are currently trapped by the plague and pose no threat.

So, the current north is actually a situation of two tigers, Prince Bai and Prince Qing, fighting each other!

"My Prince, raising an army in winter will lead to a huge loss of grain and supplies..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Prince Bai waved his hand. "As long as we take down Prince Qing, the entire north will be mine. The Zhenbei Army will be attacked from both sides and fall into a death trap!"

"This battle has to be fought sooner or later. The opportunity must not be missed, for time will not come again!!"

Lu Sanchuan nodded. Indeed, if they didn't bite this hard bone now, there wouldn't be any better opportunity.

If they wait until spring, they will face the threat of the Prince of Nanling. Only in winter are the southern armies unable to move north.

"This general will return to the front line immediately. Before the New Year, I will surely break through Qin Province City!!"

Prince Bai laughed with satisfaction and stepped forward to help Lu Sanchuan up.

"Good! As expected of my Great General Lu!! Don't worry, I will immediately order Chen Yanqiu to be imprisoned in the death cell!"

"Once Qin Province City is broken, we will kill him as a sacrifice to heaven!"

"Also, I know the Azure Dragon Guard is difficult to deal with, so I've found a few capable generals for you!"

With that, Prince Bai clapped his hands.

Three figures walked out from the side and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, my Prince! Greetings, Great General Lu!"

Lu Sanchuan looked back and was startled to see the Black Iron Greatbow on the back of the leader.

"You are... Lou Suifeng of the Yanyu Pavilion?!"

Lu Sanchuan frowned. "A martial arts world assassin? My Prince, this..."

"Ah! Sanchuan, you worry too much!"

Prince Bai smiled. "Mr. Lou and the twins Wubing and Wuzai are no longer assassins; they have joined my service."

"They are already adjutants of the White Kings Army. Why shouldn't they go to battle and kill enemies?"

"And in this expedition, you are the commander; they all follow your orders. You should be at ease now, right?"

Lu Sanchuan weighed it and couldn't find any reason to object, so he nodded in agreement.

"With Mr. Lou here, the chances of winning this battle... can be increased by at least twenty percent!"

"General Lu is too kind. This humble subordinate will strictly follow your orders!" Lou Suifeng smiled modestly.

Lou Suifeng smiled with a humble attitude.

...

Sha Prefecture, Taigu County.

At a relay station, Lin Xiao took a short break, ate some hot noodle soup, and fed the horse some fodder.

He had been out for three days, and today he finally entered Suide County.

Along the way, he had already killed dozens of corrupt officials, gentry, and several mid-level generals of the White Kings Army.

Because he disguised himself every day, no one knew his identity; the people only thought a martial arts hero had appeared.

It wasn't that he was afraid to reveal his identity, but he didn't want to alert the enemy.

Lin Xiao even deliberately showed some flaws, not even daring to reveal his Martial Arts Grandmaster level strength.

He knew that sooner or later someone would see through his identity, but by then, he would have almost finished his work.

"Sigh... after grinding for three days, I only got 700 prestige points. These guys aren't very helpful."

Lin Xiao looked at the extra 7 Cephalosporin pills, feeling a bit annoyed. He hoped the corrupt officials in Suide City would be more productive.

Just then, several merchants at the next table were talking...

"Hey! Don't send the goods to Qin Province; the White Kings Army and the Qing Kings Army are about to start fighting!"

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you? The grain and supplies have already been transported; the whole road is full of them!"

"With Prince Yan gone, Prince Bai truly couldn't wait. I thought he'd at least wait until spring..."

"What do you know? When spring comes, the Prince of Nanling's 'Red Flame Iron Cavalry' will be able to move north!"

"That Prince of Nanling is the current Emperor's biological brother. If he comes to 'serve the King and protect the throne,' wouldn't Prince Bai be attacked from both sides?"

...

Lin Xiao's heart stirred, secretly glad he stopped to rest; he had actually heard such important information?

"The Silver Armor Army and the Azure Dragon Guard are going to fight?"

What should I do? For some reason, Lin Xiao couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth!
