Chapter 921: Chapter 49: Purple Gold Ancient Coin, Hongyun Coin, Heavenly Fortune Arrives!
In military operations, he was patient.
From May 25th to June 10th.
Zhao Xing kept sensing the position of the coins in Marquis Changwu’s hands.
It never moved.
At midnight on June 10th.
Suddenly, a large army stormed into the valley where Zhao Xing was hiding.
"Swish swish swish~"
The army and warships started bombarding the valley recklessly.
For a long time.
"Marquis, there’s no vitality below."
"Search!"
Marquis Changwu’s voice came from the Earth Mirror.
"Yes!" The Deputy General immediately began searching.
But they found nothing.
Elsewhere in Dongze County.
"That Qiu fellow is truly cautious, not moving himself, but sending out a large army."
"I expected he’d make this move." Zhao Xing sneered, "Trying to catch me? It’s not that easy."
"Indeed, your two hundred clones aren’t there for nothing." Ye Yuxong laughed.
This is the advantage of a top-level Dharma Body!
Zhao Xing’s Dharma Body lurked around the county city, doing nothing but surveillance.
As long as the army moved, Zhao Xing would know in advance and naturally escape.
It’s hard for other occupations to achieve this effect.
"I’m not leaving, let’s see how long he can endure." Zhao Xing smiled.
"In his stronghold, there’s no way for a large-scale enemy army to appear. If he doesn’t dare to leave the city like this, then I’m unlucky, overestimating his courage."
"Brother, that’s an open strategy of yours." Ye Yuxong laughed, "Knowing it’s bait, knowing it’s a trap, but you can’t help but jump in and give it a try."
...
"Damn it, damn it!" Marquis Changwu panted, his eyes bloodshot.
He hadn’t slept well for days.
He really couldn’t sleep!
The ancient coin was the greatest opportunity of his life!
To have come this far, the ancient coin contributed most of the credit.
One could say it’s the treasure he regarded as his life.
Now another treasure appeared at his doorstep, jumping around, and he seemed to have enough strength to take it. How could he sleep?
One or two days could be endured, but after half a month, his mentality changed.
"Could it be, could it be there’s no enemy, no assassin, just my opportunity exploding?"
"Heaven’s will belongs to the virtuous who deserve the treasure!"
At this time, Prince Liang’s buff gradually changed Marquis Changwu’s mindset and distorted his rationality.
"What if, what if it’s not a trap? Wouldn’t I miss the greatest opportunity of my life?"
"Even if it is a trap, if I’m cautious, perhaps I can take the bait without getting caught."
"How many times have I come through in the Southern Barbarians’ battles, always able to turn danger into safety?"
Moments later, Marquis Changwu’s breathing steadied, and his gaze became firm.
He donned his armor and drew his sword.
"Seek wealth amidst danger!!"
"I’ve dared to rebel, how can I not dare to take a risk now?!"
Once convincing himself, Marquis Changwu hesitated no more.
"Pass my orders! Gather the Imperial Guards!"
"Yes!"
...
"Finally, they’re coming."
In a forest, Zhao Xing showed his white teeth.
"Brother Ye, get ready!"
"Bring it on." At another location, Ye Yuxong also opened his eyes, filled with fighting spirit, "I’m a bit impatient myself."
...
On June 10th, at 1:00 a.m.
Marquis Changwu led five hundred Guard Camp out of the city, heading straight to the sensing location.
It seemed only five hundred men, but there were actually three thousand more following behind.
The enemy wanted to tempt him, and he wanted to tempt the enemy too.
On June 10th, Yin hour.
Zhao Xing’s two hundred thirty clones moved out in batches, activating the Dream Walking Technique, targeting the three thousand Guard Camps behind.
Marquis Changwu continued mobilizing troops to hunt Zhao Xing’s clones.
He himself led five hundred guards, continuing to chase after the ancient coin’s whereabouts.
Both sides chased each other.
Zhao Xing’s clones were increasingly discovered, while the Guard Camp and sacrificial Yin Gods also grew in number.
Both sides realized something was wrong at the Chen hour, suppressing the fluctuation of the ancient coins, and each withdrew their troops.
On June 12th, sensing reappeared, and both Marquis Changwu and Zhao Xing were more cautious.
They began moving around Dongze County, testing each other’s strength again.
The roles of hunter and prey constantly reversed.
But this time, both sides started to escalate their efforts.
In the end, Zhao Xing lost ten clones, and Marquis Changwu lost two hundred Imperial Guards.
June 12th ended.
On June 13th, sensing reappeared again!
Marquis Changwu and Zhao Xing tested each other once more, each taking losses.
The two moved more frequently, escalating the chase!
At the closest point, the two coins were only ten miles apart!
For a third-rank, that distance could be covered in an instant!
Yet both passed up the opportunity.
This repeated for seven days.
Finally, Marquis Changwu became anxious.
Because he had inexplicably lost eighteen hundred soldiers and several Yin Gods!
Rumors began to spread in the army, and he could hardly suppress them.
His men couldn’t just die in vain, any longer and Huan You King would question it!
Without battle reports, why the losses?
But could he report it? He couldn’t!
This was his greatest secret!
By June 18th, at 1:45 AM.
Having sunk considerable costs, Marquis Changwu finally decided to take a risk.
This time, he only brought two hundred Guard Camp to pursue Zhao Xing, leaving the warships behind.
The supporting guards were stationed fifty miles away.
"Come on! This is it!" Marquis Changwu’s eyes glittered in the night. "My support will take 15 minutes to arrive."
"I only have two hundred Guard Camp now! You should show yourself!"
"I’m selling a 15-minute flaw to stake my life, will you take the bait?!"
Three kilometers away from Marquis Changwu, Zhao Xing watched the direction of Marquis Changwu as if he heard his thoughts.
