Chapter Forty-Six: Great Victory, Summons, and Assassination
n't even have makeshift shelters to shield them from wind and rain. Thankfully, Qin Sang saw several wealthy households distributing porridge along the way, allowing the refugees to have a meal.These...Qin Sang, feeling excited, summoned the Bingcan Armor and drew a sword from his side. With all his might, he lunged forward with a strike.
Unexpectedly, the sword tip just touched the armor and automatically swerved aside. This happened several times in a row, but the armor remained unscathed.
Surely a good baby!
Qin Sang couldn't let go of the Ice Silkworm Armor. After much research, he discovered that when he wore it and used his spiritual power to its fullest, a layer of ice-like mist would appear around him, shrouding his entire body. It seemed that his defensive capabilities had been greatly enhanced.
Moreover, this Bingchan Treasure Armor consumes far less spiritual energy than the Zi Hun Ling. Qin Sang can support it for a long time.
This made Qin Sang overjoyed. With this treasure armor, even if he encountered a congenital master like Yuanjue, he wouldn't be afraid of being defeated unexpectedly.
"Reporting, General! A man claiming to be the County Princess's messenger arrived with a sealed letter and requests an audience with you!"

Qin Sang was cultivating when he was awakened by the guards outside his door. He frowned and pushed open the door.
As the sun rose, a dazzling light shone at the end of the Ling Shui River. The air in the city of Dùyā Kǒu was thick with the smell of burnt wood, lingering for a long time.
After encountering the young man surnamed Han, it took them another ten days to clear the ancient road. They discovered that the garrison at Guya Kou was unusually empty. Seizing this opportunity, Qin Sang rested briefly and immediately led the three battalions of soldiers straight to Guya Kou.
The defenders at the Crow's Mouth were unprepared for an attack from behind. In their confusion, they put up only a brief resistance before surrendering completely.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Guard responded very quickly. Three days after Qin Sang captured Diao'ao Mouth, they assembled their troops and attacked by boat. At this time, General Feng's army hadn't arrived yet. Qin Sang had no choice but to defend for several days before finally burning all their grain stores and retreating into the mountains.
Even so, it did not affect the final outcome. The defenders of Gu Ling Guan were running low on supplies and their retreat route was cut off. Soon, internal strife broke out within their ranks, with a prominent general turning traitor and opening the city gates for surrender.
The overall situation has been decided. Qin Sang and General Feng joined forces, gathering the remnants of the usurper's army and pacifying the local areas. Their combined military strength now surpasses that of the Xuanwei and Xiaoyong camps combined.

The good news was sent back a half month ago. I wonder what the county princess's messenger is here for.

Upon seeing the messenger, Qin Sang received the sealed letter and read it carefully, pondering for a long time.

According to the letter, King Dongyang was delighted upon hearing of the great victory.
The Xuanwei Camp will be renamed the Desheng Camp, with General Feng promoted to the position of Left Admiral of the Desheng Camp, and Qin Sang promoted to Right Admiral of the Xiaoyong Camp, replacing the former Mu Admiral. Those who made meritorious service in the recent victory have also received generous rewards.
Moreover, the prince highly valued Qin Sang. The young master also spoke many good words for Qin Sang in front of the prince. The prince wished to summon Qin Sang to Zhaoyang County, so he let him go to Zhaoyang County to meet before taking up his post.

Although the letter only stated facts, Qin Sang could read between the lines and understand much that was left unsaid.
Could the Crown Prince be so kind as to speak well of him
Qin Sang sneered inwardly. News of his encounter with a fairy had spread throughout the camp, giving rise to all sorts of rumors. However, the story about the immortal bestowing him with treasures was universally believed, with detailed accounts circulating everywhere.
It's unbelievable that there are no spies from the Prince in the Xuanwei Camp.
With the Bingcan Armor protecting her, Qin Sang naturally wasn't afraid of any schemes he might have. If he dared to extend his claws, she would cut them off and make him understand what pain truly was!
"Zuanzong, prepare the horses!"

Qin Sang appointed Wu Zhuanzong, Shuihouzi, and other generals who were willing to join him at the Xiaoyong Camp. After bidding farewell to Feng, the admiral, he rode his horse back to Pingshan County first, then headed straight for Zhaoyang County.
The East Sun King's palace was built in Ming City, on the border of Zhaoyang County and Xitai County. Qin Sangma traveled non-stop for ten days before arriving in Ming City.
However, after entering Ming City, Qin Sang did not rush to meet the King. Instead, he ordered Shui Houzi to report to the County Princess first, while he found a place to live, bolted the door, and retreated to break through.
He had plenty of soul pills and continued his cultivation. Finally, he felt the bottleneck of the fourth layer of the Nether Scripture. He didn't know how difficult this breakthrough would be, and Qin Sang was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
To Qin Sang's surprise, he didn't feel much difficulty this time. He successfully broke through the barrier in just two days. The ever-changing nature of the Nether Scripture left Qin Sang puzzled.
"Qin Sang greets Your Highness, and the young prince."
After the breakthrough, Qin Sang went to meet the county princess, and was then led into the imperial palace by her.
The King of Dongyang hadn't proclaimed himself emperor yet and still referred to himself as a prince.
“I heard that General Qin entered Ming City three days ago, yet he's only coming to see Father now. Could something have happened” the prince asked, feigning concern.
“Your Highness, please forgive my untidiness,” Qin Sang said calmly. “After being summoned, I rode day and night to reach your court. Covered in dust and looking rather disheveled, I feared disturbing Your Highness. Only after regaining my composure did I come to pay my respects.”
The king was around fifty years old, with a single strand of mutton chops and the face of a scholar. Hearing this, he burst into laughter, "This king is just an ordinary soldier who fights on horseback. Am I scared by you Come here, quickly bring tea for General Qin. General Qin is both intelligent and brave, with many outstanding achievements. With General Qin's assistance, how can my great ambitions not be realized"
Qin Sang owed his body, "The humble general dare not! The humble general is just a commoner. He has achieved what he is today thanks to the guidance and care of Your Highness, the princess. The humble general does not dare to take credit."

Qin Sang finished speaking and saw a flash of displeasure cross the Crown Prince's face before it vanished. She feigned ignorance.
Wang Guan smiled, patted Dongyang Junzhu's hand on the side, and said with love: "An Ning is indeed insightful, but General Qin should not underestimate himself."
"That's right," the prince suddenly interjected, "Even the immortal master values General Qin, it shows that General Qin is indeed a prodigy! I heard that before leaving, the immortal master gave General Qin a treasure. Would you please take it out and let Father and me have a look"
Here it is!
Feeling the greed in Prince's eyes, Qin Sang coldly snorted in her heart.
As long as his divine consciousness rested on the Bingcan Treasure Armor, with a thought he could retrieve it. Even taking it out to observe wouldn't be a problem, but he couldn't just hand it over when the prince asked for it.

Qin Sang glanced at the county princess, but saw her leaning against King Dongyang, softly saying, "Father King, every treasure you bestow upon An Ning is treated with care. She never takes them out to admire for fear of damaging them and incurring your wrath. I heard that those immortals are all eccentric and prone to violence, they might even fly into a rage and take it out on us, wouldn't that be a loss"
Donghuanyang Wang hesitated for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Those things, since they were given to Anning, you are free to dispose of them as you please. Left and right are just external objects, Father King would not blame you for this. However, what Anning said is right, since these were bestowed upon General Qin by the Immortal Master, General Qin must take good care of them and not neglect them."
"The last general obeys!"

After staying at the Dongyang Prince's Palace for a banquet, that night he went to the county princess's mansion for a private meeting. The next day, Qin Sang rode out of the city with a tiger talisman and other items, heading to the brave camp in Guize County to take up his post.
Having galloped for a whole day, they rode through the night. As they approached a grove of trees, Qin Sang suddenly heard a piercing shriek. He reined in his horse abruptly and said coldly, "Be careful, there's an assassin!"long since learned the ins and outs of the Qingyang Demon Sect, and he was even more familiar with this mountain-protecting formation.It is said that when the last Nascent Soul of Qingyang Demon Sect...
