The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1759

Chapter 1759: 861 The Final Battle! (2 taels)

After losing hundreds of soldiers in the woods, Xie Xingzhou’s face turned grim.

Although he had previously been ordered to eliminate bandits, with little actual motive for revenge for Min Hongyi, now he genuinely wanted to hunt down and kill those cunning scoundrels one by one!

Daring to fool Xie Xingzhou, they truly were tired of living!

Subsequently, he heightened his vigilance and summoned military officers from the city who were adept in arcane arts.

The Eight Diagram Array in the woods was broken, and the army finally traversed this perilous land, arriving at the village entrance.

A small stream connected the canyon and the village, but the wooden bridge above had been severed.

However, the river was not particularly wide, and cutting down trees to construct a temporary makeshift bridge was not a problem.

"Let’s trouble Elder Lu," Xie Xingzhou said.

"Humph!" Elder Lu, sitting astride his horse, turned his head indifferently and gestured to the two disciples behind him.

The two disciples understood, drew the swords from their waists, and with lightning speed, felled two large trees, splitting them with a single strike.

Xie Xingzhou’s deputy called a few capable soldiers, who tied the timber together with ropes, embedding the curved parts into the dug pits, securing the bridge with spears on the sides to prevent it from tipping over.

This operation took only half an hour, a remarkable feat.

The Jin army’s warhorses refused to cross such an unreliable "dangerous bridge" and, unlike Hei Fengwang, couldn’t leap over it directly. Xie Xingzhou and his team had to dismount and cross on foot.

A deputy flattered, "I hear Yan Country’s Hei Fengqi is formidable. Once we defeat them, I shall capture Hei Fengwang and present it to General Xie."

Xie Xingzhou did not respond outwardly, but he was tempted.

Hei Fengqi was the most powerful cavalry among the six countries; besides their excellent combat skills, each warhorse was a rarity, especially each Hei Fengwang, which was practically a war deity among horses.

In his youth, Xie Xingzhou once witnessed Xuanyuan Li’s Hei Fengwang, so terrified he couldn’t sleep for three nights. Even now, recalling it still filled him with trepidation. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Of course, nowadays he couldn’t be frightened by a horse, but if he could conquer such a war deity horse, it wouldn’t tarnish his reputation as a fierce general over the years.

...he wondered if his lord had any interest in Hei Fengwang; if so, it probably wouldn’t be his privilege.

In just a moment, Xie Xingzhou was already planning the fate of Hei Fengwang in his mind.
