Chapter 488 Bizarre Events
After two days of discussion and detailed planning, they sent a challenge to the Jin-Yu allied forces.
Both countries that received the challenge fell silent for a moment, as they had not expected that Zhou's army, after such a devastating battle, would still have the courage to declare war on them.
"What should we do now?" The general of Jin looked at the general of Yu.
"What do you think?" The meaning of the general Da Yu was self-evident: to accept the challenge and continue to let Si Jingshan be the commander-in-chief.
“But Si Jingshan is a complete madman. Our Great Jin doesn’t have that many soldiers to fill his hands.” The Great Jin general’s voice was full of anger. Thinking of the Great Jin soldiers who had died unjustly, his anger surged.
"Hmph, you don't want to use Si Jingshan, then do you think you can defeat Lu Zhijin yourself?" The sarcasm of the Yu general was self-evident.
Of course, he didn't want his soldiers to be killed by that guy Si Jingshan, but without Si Jingshan, they were no match for Lu Zhijin.
"Hmph." The Jin general snorted coldly, but did not refute, though he felt extremely aggrieved.
"Alright, let's go find Si Jingshan and talk to him properly, so he won't do anything reckless." The Dayong general was also quite helpless.
However, neither of them looked very well after they came out of Si Jingshan's tent.
The Jin general strode toward his tent with a gloomy face. The Dayong general behind him looked slightly better than the Jin general, though his expression was also bad. He shook his head as he watched the Jin general's retreating figure, and then sighed.
Although they were so angry at that madman Si Jingshan that they almost vomited blood, Si Jingshan eventually agreed, and they were now confident about the battle three days later.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the two armies clashed at Qingfengpo outside Lizhou City.
The war drums beat and the sounds of battle were deafening, but this time it was not the same situation as last time. When Si Jingshan saw that the explosives on Zhou Jun's side had killed a large number of soldiers, he was shocked and his eyes widened. He almost dropped the weapon in his hand.
"How is this possible... How could they have explosives?" Si Jingshan couldn't believe it. Explosives were his proudest achievement. Ever since he accidentally invented explosives, he had been treated as an honored guest by the Emperor of Dayong. But now the Zhou army also had explosives, and they looked even more powerful than his. How could he stand out from the crowd in the future?
"General, run!" a soldier shouted at Si Jingshan, which brought him back to his senses.
Si Jingshan retreated quickly, narrowly avoiding the explosion that was right in front of him. However, the soldier who had shouted at him earlier was not so lucky and was blown away by the explosives.
Si Jingshan's expression changed. Although he was a madman and didn't care about the soldiers' names, this person had just saved him. No one had ever saved him so selflessly before. Suddenly, anger surged in Si Jingshan's heart.
The battle began to turn into a one-sided affair, with the allied forces being driven away in all directions and having no chance of turning the tide.
For some reason, Si Jingshan suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing, he picked up his sword and charged straight at Lu Zhijin on the battlefield.
Lu Zhijin saw it too, and went to greet it.
The two swords clashed, producing a series of resounding sounds. Lu Zhijin became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He had never fought Si Jingshan before, and he never expected that Si Jingshan, who appeared gentle and refined on the outside, would actually possess such high martial arts skills, far exceeding his expectations.
However, he was not afraid and used all his strength to continue the fight.
"Be careful."
Lu Zhijin had no time to dodge and was stabbed directly into the chest by Si Jingshan's sword.
He didn't have time to think much, and before the sword was drawn, he stabbed Si Jingshan.
Si Jingshan was pierced through the chest by a sword, and his body shuddered violently as waves of excruciating pain washed over him. Surprisingly, however, a wild smile appeared on his face, a smile that revealed a kind of madness and unruliness.
Blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth, mingling with his eerie smile to create a chilling scene. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a coldness and resolve, as if the sword strike hadn't caused him much harm, but rather excited him even more.
The two staggered backward, but only Si Jingshan fell backward, while Lu Zhijin stood firmly, staring at his chest in disbelief.
"General." The military advisor rushed to Lu Zhijin's side and then witnessed an unbelievable scene.
"General... General." His voice trembled slightly. He... he clearly saw the general being stabbed by Si Jingshan, but why... why was the general not injured at all, not even a scratch? Could it be that he had seen wrong? But the general's armor was already torn.
Lu Zhijin looked down at himself in disbelief. How could this be? He had truly felt the pain just now. Si Jingshan's sword had pierced through his chest and gone so deep. How could he suddenly be fine now?
For some reason, Lu Zhijin felt no excitement at surviving a disaster, but instead felt a sudden sense of unease, as if something important was about to leave him.
He didn't know what it was. Looking at the shocked adjutant in front of him, he suppressed the panic in his heart and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine. I just dodged it. Have the soldiers take Si Jingshan's body back."
"Yes, General." Upon hearing Lu Zhijin's words, the adjutant felt that he must have misread the situation, but that didn't matter. As long as the general was alright, that was all that mattered. He then happily went to carry out the tasks assigned by Lu Zhijin.
They won a great victory in this battle, not only defeating the enemy army but also killing Si Jingshan, the enemy's commander who had previously made them wary.
After the great battle ended, Lu Zhijin returned home feeling uneasy, but he didn't know why.
He carefully recalled what had happened before. He had been uneasy ever since Si Jingshan had given him a sword but then inexplicably escaped injury.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhijin touched his chest, but there was no sign of injury.
What the hell is going on here?
A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Zhijin's mind.
"Ah Yue."
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he immediately thought of someone: Xiao Siyue. Could it be A Yue? But A Yue wouldn't have such miraculous abilities.
Although the pills Xiao Siyue gave him before were miraculous, and he didn't know where they came from, he just assumed that Xiao Siyue had obtained them by accident. But this time, could it really be Xiao Siyue?
He knew that with the force of Si Jingshan's sword strike, he would have been killed.
If... if it really was Yue who saved him, what price would Yue pay? He never believed that good things would fall from the sky. At this moment, he wasn't very happy. He only prayed that he had misunderstood what happened before, that Si Jingshan really hadn't stabbed him, and that he hadn't come back to life.
