Chapter 1090: The Middle-Aged Scholar
Chapter 1090: The Middle-Aged Scholar
September 25th, 2017
Liaoxi Prefecture, Shan Hai Pass, in a small town near the Mysterious Gateway.
It was the same house as before, and not long after Lu Hai Kong's extraordinary performance, the meeting of the Foreign Demons was convened once again. However, this time, there were two fewer people in the room, and the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before.
Wei Chi Gong had been captured, and Qu Tu Tong was killed. This was a huge blow to these Sui-Tang Demons, even though it wasn't the first time they had suffered defeat at the hands of Lu Hai Kong. But this time, the defeat seemed particularly devastating.
When Cheng Yao Jin was captured, they still had the excuse that the battlefield was outside the Blood Domain, and they could blame it on Lu Hai Kong's unfair advantage. They claimed that he had not only prepared powerful props in advance but also sealed their General Traits, preventing them from using their full strength, which led to their defeat.
But this time, they had made thorough preparations, using all their powerful moves and directly deploying four Blood Demon Generals. Even the middle-aged scholar had provided remote support with a Crimson Light Curtain. They had even pushed Lu Hai Kong and his group into a perilous situation, just one step away from eliminating Lu Hai Kong. It was when they felt they had the greatest advantage, but even then, they still lost.
This defeat was undoubtedly a significant blow to them. Through this setback, they deeply realized the extent of Lu Hai Kong's cheating abilities. Hou Jun Ji and Qin Shu Bao, who had initially exuded confidence upon arriving in the Three Kingdoms world as if they could conquer everything, now stood by with lowered eyes.
The scholar also kept his head down, but his expression revealed that he was deep in thought, pondering something.
Just as the room fell into a suffocating silence, suddenly, 'Qin Mu,' who had been sitting idly by the side, showing no signs of distress, stiffened as he looked at the three people in the room. He then tilted his head, as if listening intently.
His change in demeanor caught the attention of Hou Jun Ji and the others, even causing the deep-in-thought scholar to look up at him.
After a moment, 'Qin Mu' seemed to have received a message, and he raised his head to glance at the scholar before him. With a tone that was difficult to read, he said, "Well, this may not be the best time, but I have some bad news. The Undead Army in Leye City has been defeated again."
The emphasis on the word 'again' by this guy was heavy with implication, but Hou Jun Ji and the others didn't seem to mind his tone. Upon hearing this, Hou Jun Ji exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Lu Hai Kong's people are all here, how could Gongsun Zan..."
"I don't know if it was Lu Hai Kong's people, but the one who did this was a young man with a white horse and a silver lance. This youth charged into the hundreds of thousands of Undead Army alone, severely injuring Yan Gang, which directly led to the Undead Army's collapse."
'Qin Mu' revealed the intelligence he had received, interrupting Hou Jun Ji's doubts.
At this moment, the attention of the three people in the room was drawn to 'Qin Mu's' information, or more precisely, to the phrase 'white horse and silver lance.'
"Zhao Zi Long? A youth with a white horse and a silver lance, the only one in the Three Kingdoms who fits this description. If it's really him, it makes sense. After all, he was able to charge in and out of Cao Cao's elite troops at Changbanpo. Perhaps he has a special General Trait that allows him to fight through the Undead Army. But isn't this a bit early in the timeline of the Three Kingdoms? How could Zhao Yun be this strong at this point?" Qin Shu Bao muttered after a moment of silence.
"I don't know about that, but it's true that Yan Gang was severely injured by a youth with a white horse and a silver lance," 'Qin Mu' shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about the Undead Army's defeat.
His attitude annoyed Hou Jun Ji and Qin Shu Bao, but just as they were about to speak, the middle-aged scholar spoke up.
"Whether it's Zhao Yun or not is not important. What matters is our current situation."
As he spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they fell silent, waiting for his next words.
The scholar sighed softly, "I originally thought that this time, I could achieve two goals with one move. On the left, I could capture Lu Hai Kong, and on the right, I could take Leye City, thereby taking over the entire Youzhou. It seems that I have underestimated this world after all."
In fact, the scholar hadn't underestimated the world; it was just that Lu Hai Kong's cheating abilities were too strong and shameless.
The situation should have been a certain death for Lu Hai Kong, but with his two props and the presence of Xun You, a master strategist, he turned the tables and created a deadly trap for the four Demon Generals.
Even with meticulous planning, the scholar couldn't have foreseen this level of cheating. Therefore, strictly speaking, it wasn't the scholar's fault, but he still reflected deeply and concluded, "However, the reason for our defeat this time is not because the opponent is too strong, but because I underestimated their strength. I bear a great responsibility for this failure, and I have harmed General Wei Chi Gong and General Qu Tu Tong."
"No, this is not your fault..."
Qin Shu Bao was about to speak up for the scholar, but he was interrupted by the scholar's raised hand.
