Why did the Thorn Army appear here?

This is a very worthy question. ◇◇↓◇↓Small◇↓◇↓

If we have to trace the root of the source, it is actually all because of one person.

The beloved daughter of the commander of the Thorn Army, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and Ye Xiaoe.

In the battle of the Jinyuan Secret Realm, Ye Xiaoe was unknown and life or death was unknown. Ye Jiang, who was originally stationed in Xiling, braved the stern wind and snow, personally led 10,000 elite troops of the Thorn Army back to Beijing to report his work.

In order to find Ye Xiao'e's whereabouts and investigate the truth about the Jinyuan Secret Realm battle.

On New Year's Eve, Ye Jiang brought his three most trusted brothers into the palace, had a long talk with Jin Di in the imperial study room, and then stayed in the capital for only three days before leading the army to Nanchuan.

What did Emperor Jin and Ye Jiang say that night?

Only six people knew about this.

Now Emperor Jin is dead, Ye Jiang is dead, and Eunuch Zhao is dead.

Wu Tong and Shen Mu are deeply trapped in the war in Mocheng, and they are still unaware of their lives and deaths.

Therefore, the last person insider was the fat man called General Discovery!

Ye Jiang left the fat man in the capital to allow him to continue looking for Ye Xiao'e's whereabouts. But in fact, the general who explored the horse had not been in Luoyang for too long. Almost at the same time when Emperor Jin announced that he would hold the ceremony of worshiping the sky in Changbai Mountain, he returned to Xiling with his military talisman.

Bring all the remaining 50,000 troops of the Thorn Army back!

When the national justice and personal emotions were placed in front of Ye Jiang, the coach who had been in the military for half his life chose the former.

Similarly, when Ye Jiang's instructions and Ye Jiang's own life safety were placed in front of the fat man, he chose the latter.

The fat man is called Chen Zhong, who is loyal and courageous.

Instead of obeying Ye Jiang's orders before leaving Beijing, he went to Xiling to bring back 50,000 brothers.

In order to reinforce Nanchuan!

Chen Zhong knew how difficult it was for the demon clan to deal with it, and he knew that once the demon clan army was allowed to penetrate Nanchuan, the ten thousand people in Marshal Ye's hands would not be enough to fight.

Jindi asked Ye Jiang to exchange his life for a victory.

Ye Jiang agreed.

But Chen Zhong disagreed!

He didn't care about the so-called overall situation. He just hoped that his elder brother would not sacrifice himself unnecessary and would not ruin the entire Ye family for Emperor Jin!

But unfortunately, Chen Zhong was still one step late.

Because he never expected that Ye Jiang and the 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands would be defeated so quickly.

He was even more unlikely to expect that the Mohist school would rebel.

What shocked the world the most was that the demon clan had another holy rank.

However, to this day, 10,000 elite troops of the Thorn Army were wiped out, and the news that Marshal Ye died in the battlefield was still strictly blocked by the Mo family. It was temporarily unable to be transmitted back to Luoyang, and naturally it could not be transmitted to Chen Zhong's tent.

Therefore, Chen Zhong did not know that Jiujiang County had already fallen, nor did he know that the demon army had already begun to cross the Shuo River as if it was unstoppable.

But the good news is that Chen Zhong personally led 50,000 troops from the Thorn Army to the south, and his speed was naturally not as fast as Ye Jiang led 10,000 elite troops to raid for a long distance. Moreover, Chen Zhong came from Xiling all the way across the sky, which was also farther from Luoyang to Mocheng.

Therefore, the large army of the Thorn Army had just left Yangcheng last night, and is now hundreds of miles away from Xiucheng.

By chance, I happened to run into three people who were rushing north from the Yuelun Grassland.

It was Ye Xiaoe, Ning Zheng and Bi Qingwen who were separated from Xia Sheng halfway!

Ye Xiao'e's appearance surprised Chen Zhong inexplicably, but it also invisibly delayed the process of the Thorn Army. The entire army was repaired on the spot and was unable to continue to set off.

Because Chen Zhong and Ye Xiao'e had serious differences on something.

"Since my father is in danger now in Nanchuan, I can't go back to Beijing alone. I'll go with you."

"no!"

Chen Zhong's attitude was very firm: "This is a war, not a one-on-one contest between practitioners. His personal strength is very weak in the battle of more than 100,000 people. Although the young lady has been influenced by her since childhood, she has never fought with the army after all. If she is accidentally surrounded by the enemy, she may disrupt our army's deployment!"

Ye Xiao'e's face was full of stubbornness and said bluntly: "Since I am marching and fighting, I am no longer a young lady, but just a personal soldier in your hand. I will naturally obey your orders. If you are worried about my safety and do not let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I will definitely not move!"

Chen Zhong watched Ye Xiao'e grow up since childhood, and he didn't know her temperament. Although he became much more calm after returning from seclusion with Han Dali in the Secret Realm of the Underworld, Chen Zhong still didn't dare to rest assured. What's more, if something unexpected happened during the march, Ye Xiao'e's identity may cause the entire army to be in a dilemma.

If the general and the lady are surrounded by the enemy at the same time, which one should I save first?

Chen Zhong insisted on his judgment and believed that even Marshal Ye would make the same choice even if he was here.

But even though he knew that his father might be surrounded by the demon army in Nanchuan, how could Ye Xiao'e return to Luoyang at this time?

Neither of the two could convince each other, and Ning Zheng and Bi Qingwen, as two "outsiders", had no stance of persuasion, and could only stand aside and remain silent.

Compared to Ning Zheng, Bi Qingwen was obviously more anxious, because when he came back this time, what he was most concerned about was Shantang and the young master. If it weren't for the three years in the secret realm that he had also formed a very deep friendship with Ye Xiao'e, I'm afraid that he would have left the young lady of the Ye family at this time and rushed to Luoyang alone.

Ye Xiao'e was unwilling to return to Beijing, and Chen Zhong did not let her follow the Thorn Army south. In order to prevent Ye Xiao'e from going to find her father alone, he refused to reveal the route and destination of Marshal Ye's army. Where can Ye Xiao'e go to find him in the vast Nanchuan?

The snow outside the tent was getting heavier. If you could not arrive at Xiucheng before dark, if you encountered heavy snow and block the road, the entire army's itinerary would probably be delayed for a while.

A side general named Qiao had already arrived at the curtain and asked urgently: "Please make a decision as soon as possible. The snow is getting heavier. Should you leave or stay?"

For Qiao Panjiang, as a professional soldier, even if Ye Xiaoe was the daughter of the Grand Marshal, he was only obeyed the orders, namely General Chen Zhong, holding military talismans.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong walked out of the tent with some anger and said to Qiao Panjiang: "Call brothers and prepare to leave, you are responsible for sending the lady back to Luoyang!"

A little stunned, Qiao Fangjiang bowed and said, "Yes."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a dark green spiritual light suddenly rose from the tent. A layer of crystal clear ice armor floated on Ye Xiao'e's body, and she said without retreating: "Uncle Chen, if you want to drive me away, it may be difficult."

Seeing this, Chen Zhong suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Miss is already the Spirit Emperor?"

Ye Xiaoe nodded: "Please believe me, even on the battlefield, I have enough strength to protect myself!"

For a moment, Chen Zhong was embarrassed to advance and retreat. At this moment, a colder wind fell from the sky and poured into the tent.

A voice resounded in front of the three armies.

"All soldiers of the Thorn Army obeyed the order and immediately followed me to Buju Mountain to defend the enemy!"

Before the wind and snow fell, Xia Sheng carried four wings, held the jade seal of Dajin in his hand, and stood proudly in the sky.

Appeared in front of everyone.
