Chapter 375 - 176: The Way Out for the Ke Family?_1
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
In the Qingcheng Prefecture of the Da Feng Dynasty.
At this time, three different troops were ceaselessly marching within this prefecture.
The troops belonging to the New Emperor, Feng Wumian.
Were swiftly taking down one stronghold after another.
It seemed they were trying to expand their victories and gains as much as possible.
Feng Wuhen, on the other hand, was advancing in a different direction.
If his elder brother had pried open the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture, then naturally he wanted to follow behind his Emperor brother and have a taste of the spoils.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a waste of such a good opportunity?
As for his behavior.
The chain reactions it might cause, the extent of resentment it might evoke from his Emperor brother.
These were things Feng Wuhen naturally did not care about.
Besides the forces mobilized by the New Emperor, Feng Wumian, and Feng Wuhen.
The last one, occupying three prefectures,
And given special attention by Feng Wumian, was the Luo Family.
Their actions seemed to be somewhat unexpected to everyone.
Logically speaking, after Feng Wumian forcefully opened the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture,
Feng Wuhen and the Luo Family.
These two powers should seize as much territory as possible in the shortest time.
Only then could they secure enough gains for themselves.
Only then could everyone maintain strong combat capabilities in the upcoming wars.
But... the Luo Family seemed to think otherwise.
Ever since the more than fifty thousand elite armored soldiers of the Luo Family stepped into Qingcheng Prefecture,
Their pace had not paused at all.
They did not even attack a single city.
Nor did they pay any attention to some of the important resources within Qingcheng Prefecture.
Instead, they marched directly forward, continuously advancing toward the front.
Such behavior left many people perplexed.
Many people were deep in thought.
What exactly was the Luo Family doing?
...
The location of Qingcheng Prefecture.
Surrounded by the forces of Feng Wumian, Feng Wuhen, and the Luo Family.
If one looked closely...
The land of Qingcheng Prefecture seemed to be imprisoned in a dark cage.
No matter how vast the area of this prefecture.
No matter how abundant the resources of this prefecture.
But as time gradually passed, Qingcheng Prefecture would eventually be like those trapped in a swamp,
Sinking bit by bit into an abyss of darkness without any light.
...
Qingcheng Prefecture.
Luowu County.
A city that was quite expansive and seemed rather prosperous.
At this moment, atop a city wall.
A middle-aged man, clad in purple-gold armor and with a sword at his waist that faintly emitted bursts of cold light, stood silently on the wall.
His eyes slightly narrowed.
His hands were calmly placed on the thick city wall.
His appearance, somewhat resolute.
He seemed not to be very talkative.
But judging by the reverence and respect in the eyes of the soldiers behind him,
He must be a general with tremendous prestige within the army.
"General, the situation is roughly as follows..."
Behind the purple-gold armored Yan Xun, a deputy was reporting all the information about the Luo Family’s and Feng Wuhen’s forces, speaking in a low voice with his head slightly bowed.
As the most trusted and capable general under the New Emperor Feng Wumian,
Such basic information was naturally not to be missed.
"Is the information accurate?"
"Are you certain that the Luo Family’s army made no stops along the march?"
"Not only not attacking any cities along the way, but even..."
"Ignoring some important resources? Just continuously marching forward?"
Above the city wall, Yan Xun, dressed in purple-gold armor, frowned slightly as he asked the deputy behind him in a low voice.
"General, the information is absolutely correct..."
The deputy nodded with a very affirmative look.
Seeing this, Yan Xun first fell silent for a moment.
Then, he waved his hand.
He dismissed the deputy for the time being,
Leaving himself alone, standing silently atop the city wall,
Furrowing his brows, pondering over one thing.
At this moment, he was contemplating why the Luo Family, with three prefectures under their belt, would act this way?
What could be the purpose of such actions?
However, no matter how much Yan Xun thought,
It seemed he could not arrive at a definite answer.
The clever minds of this world, especially that of the Luo Family, which rose swiftly in a short period,
Discover hidden tales at empire
And even possessed three prefectures,
And was capable of posing a slight threat to the New Emperor Feng Wumian,
All their actions should have their reasons.
That the Luo Family chose not to partake in the spoils within Qingcheng Prefecture must also have a purpose.
But, what exactly that purpose was...
Yan Xun found it hard to understand.
"Could it be that there is something more attractive within Qingcheng Prefecture, drawing the Luo Family’s army to continue marching forward, or is it because..."
"Some other reason?"
With tightly knit brows, Yan Xun’s half-open, half-closed eyes flashed with myriad thoughts.
If there was something more attractive in Qingcheng Prefecture luring the Luo Family,
Then, what exactly was that more attractive thing?
If it was for some other reason,
Then what was this so-called other reason?
