The blood drained from Ji Xunjiang's face, and the tea cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. He quickly sent someone to invite Su Fei and Du Tianwu to come to the county magistrate's house to discuss matters.
In the hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Ji Xunjiang waited for Su Fei and Du Tianwu to arrive, and then he couldn't wait to tell everything about the scouts.
"General Du, Marquis Su, this White Lotus Sect actually sent an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people. Our Upper Valley Commandery defenders are already weak, and now I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."
Ji Xunjiang's eyes were full of anxiety.
Du Tianwu, however, did not see any trace of panic on his face, but showed a bit of confidence and calmness.
I saw him pick up the teacup and take a sip. After putting down the teacup, he said in a deep voice.
"Commandery Governor Ji Don't worry, there are only 70,000 to 80,000 rebels, what's there to be afraid of?"
Du Tianwu stood up and walked to the map in the center of the meeting hall, pointed his finger on the terrain mark outside Upper Valley Commandery City, and said in a heroic tone.
"We, Great Xuan Army, have one hundred thousand soldiers. They are all battle-hardened and well-trained elites. They are far beyond the comparison of these rebels who are coerced by incitement."
"Although there are many of them, they are a mob. Not to mention 70,000 or 80,000 people, but even 200,000 to 300,000 rebels. I, Du Tianwu, can lead an army to annihilate them one by one!"
These words were resounding and filled with battle-hardened confidence, and the tension in the conference hall eased slightly.
Du Tianwu changed the subject, looked at Su Fei, and spoke in a more solemn tone.
"The only thing to worry about right now is the Celestial Person Realm warriors hidden by the White Lotus Sect. They are always good at beheading operations. If they take advantage of the chaos to assassinate me, the commander-in-chief, and the army is leaderless, it will inevitably be in chaos. The safety of my commander, as well as the battle situation of these 100,000 troops, all depend on Marquis Su."
Su Fei was thinking about the White Lotus Sect Celestial Person Realm's traces of the strong man. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes, looked calm, and nodded slowly.
"Grand General Don't worry, I have everything under my control. Whether it's a lurking Celestial Person or someone who comes to you on his own initiative, as long as he's a Celestial Person Realm warrior from the White Lotus Sect, if I see one, I'll kill one, and if I see two, I'll kill both."
Su Fei's tone was calm, but it carried an undoubted deterrence.
All the White Lotus Sect Celestial Person Realm strong men in the Great Xuan territory fell into his hands.
Now Su Fei's cultivation level has broken through to Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level.
Coupled with the Perfection Realm martial arts he carries on his back, facing Yan Kingdom's White Lotus Sect disciples, he naturally has nothing to fear.
"Okay! Kill each one on sight."
Du Tianwu clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this, and the last worry in his heart disappeared.
He knows the strength of Su Fei, and having him as a strong man in charge adds a foolproof talisman to the Great Xuan Army.
Ji Xunjiang stood aside, looking at Du Tianwu's calmness and listening to Su Fei's firm words, the anxiety and fear in his heart gradually dissipated as if driven away by the autumn wind.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and the worry on his face disappeared, replaced by peace and hope, and he cupped his hands at the two of them.
"With you two here, I, Upper Valley Commandery, have nothing to worry about."
The autumn wind was still bleak, and the White Lotus Sect rebels outside the city were watching eagerly, but Du Tianwu in the conference hall immediately stood up and spoke decisively.
"Commandery Governor Ji, please defend the county and protect the food and grass supplies. I will return to the camp to deploy and formulate a strategy to suppress the bandits."
After the meeting, Du Tianwu and Su Fei walked out of the county governor's mansion side by side.
The autumn wind blows withered leaves outside the door, and the streets and alleys of Upper Valley Commandery are deserted and desolate. The common people have long been closed in due to the news that White Lotus Sect is approaching, and the air is full of the depression of impending rain.
"Marquis Su, I will return to the camp to dispatch troops and generals. We must ensure that White Lotus Sect, the 70,000 to 80,000 rebels, never come back."
Du Tianwu got on his horse, his armor clashing with each other with a crisp sound, his gaze swept across the end of the street, his tone full of fighting intent.
He knew that this battle was not only about the safety of Upper Valley Commandery, but also about whether Great Xuan could successfully win the three counties of the Yan Kingdom, and there was no room for any difference.
Su Fei also jumped on the horse.
"Grand General is only responsible for arranging military affairs. I will go with the general. Leave the defense around the commander's tent to me."
His tone was calm, but he revealed absolute confidence.
Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level's cultivation level already covers the entire military camp, and no disturbance can escape his ears and eyes.
The two rode their horses and separated, Du Tianwu went straight to the military camp outside the city, and immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. The lights in the military camp were bright, and the soldiers were performing their duties.
Su Fei arrived near the handsome tent.
He did not enter the account, but hid near the commander's account. The power of his soul was released, covering the entire commander's account area like an invisible net.
Three hundred Imperial Guard were scattered throughout the military camp, with their eyes like torches, watching everything in the darkness vigilantly. Even the sound of mosquitoes flying by could not escape their ears.
The night is getting darker, the bright moon is hanging high, and its clear light shines on the tents of the military camp, casting mottled light and shadow.
In the military camp, apart from the footsteps of patrolling soldiers, the only sound left was the sound of hunting flags blowing in the night wind.
At midnight, a dark shadow sneaked in from the low slope on the west side of the military camp like a ghost, its figure erratic.
The black True Essence is lingering around him, it is the Celestial Person Realm warrior sent by the White Lotus Sect to assassinate Du Tianwu.
This person is White Lotus Sect Celestial Person who was sent here. Martial cultivation has reached Celestial Person Realm, Third Level. He is good at concealment and assassination.
Under the cover of the moonlight, he avoided the sight of the patrolling soldiers, tiptoed, and silently approached the commander's tent, with a fierce look in his eyes.
As long as Du Tianwu is killed, Great Xuan Army will be leaderless, and White Lotus Sect can take the opportunity to break through the military camp and capture Upper Valley Commandery.
You can also make great achievements, and maybe you can even gain access to that gentleman's eyes.
But just when he was less than ten feet away from the commander's tent and was about to enter the commander's tent and launch a fatal blow, Su Fei raised his eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"People who hide their heads and show their tails dare to come here and run wild."
A cold voice pierced the night sky. Su Fei remained motionless. With just a wave of his hand, a sharp Sword Qi shot out of the air, approaching Xuan Feng's face.
Xuan Feng was shocked, and hurriedly waved his palms to resist. Power of Heaven and Earth and Power of Heaven and Earth collided with each other, making a muffled "bang" sound.
He only felt numbness in his arms, qi and blood surged, and a majestic pressure rushed towards him, making him almost breathless.
"Celestial Person Realm high-level warrior?"
Xuan Feng was horrified, turned around and wanted to run away, but found that his whole body had been completely enveloped by the opponent's aura.
Su Fei stepped forward slowly, and a wisp of Power of Heaven and Earth formed on his fingertips. It penetrated Xuan Feng's Power of Heaven and Earth lightly.
Xuan Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He never expected that Great Xuan Army would have such a strong person in charge.
"Who are you?"
"The person who takes your life."
Su Fei's tone was indifferent. Before he finished speaking, Spring Embroidered Saber had already unsheathed it, and a bright sword flashed past.
Xuan Feng's head flew out, the body fell to the ground, and the black energy around him instantly dissipated.
He didn't even have time to scream.
This Celestial Person Realm, Third Level strong man has died.
Du Tianwu in the handsome tent was alarmed by the sound and rushed out with his sword in hand.
