"He Ping'an, those who are capable do not need to be humble. I am here today precisely to ask you to take action to save the Duke of Zhen."
Emperor Longqing spoke slowly and introduced to He Ping'an what happened to Duke Zhen Guo before.
After listening to Emperor Long Qing's introduction, He Ping'an nodded and said with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhen Guo is a first-class martial artist. His body is invulnerable to all poisons. The humble minister is only a third-class warrior, so I'm afraid he may not be able to catch up."
Regardless of whether he can be cured or not, He Pingan must first say that it is very difficult to treat Zhen Guogong.
It can't be saved casually...
As long as the difficulties are overcome, even if something unexpected happens later, Emperor Longqing will be embarrassed to blame him.
If the Duke of Zhen is rescued by then, it will naturally be He Ping'an's contribution.
Sure enough, when Emperor Longqing heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will treat him. Even if there is a problem, I won't blame you."
"If you rescue Duke Zhen Guo, I will give you a huge reward!"
Just waiting for your words... He Ping'an said secretly in his heart, but pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.
Saving people is like putting out fires. Since He Pingan agreed, he no longer pretended to be reserved and followed Emperor Longqing and others towards the Chinese army camp.
As soon as he walked out of the medicine department, he saw Chen Daban holding his nose and directing several people to sprinkle spices.
The mixture of fragrance and odor makes it even more smelly.
"Here...sprinkle more spices here, it stinks!"
...
Chinese army camp.
Eight upper-level third-level monks were guarding the door. When they saw Emperor Longqing returning with a group of people, they quickly greeted them in unison and welcomed them in.
"He Ping'an, this is the Duke of Zhenguo."
Without further delay, Emperor Longqing led He Ping'an to a cave, where an old man with white hair and flowing silver beard was lying.
He Ping'an walked closer and saw Duke Zhen Guo lying on the soft couch. He didn't look very tall, but his face was rosy and he was full of energy. Even if he was unconscious due to the strange aura intruding into the sea of consciousness, he could not hide his battle-hardened body. The temperament of a battle-hardened veteran.
He Ping'an had heard a little bit about the life of Zhen Guogong and knew that this veteran's life story was legendary. It could be said that if this veteran's experiences were written into a book.
Then he is the absolute protagonist of the book.
As early as two hundred years ago, this veteran general had already gained a great reputation among the military.
He led his troops many times to defeat the weak and the strong, defeating powerful enemies.
The most famous battle was when five hundred soldiers killed five thousand demon soldiers in the East China Sea.
At that time, Duke Zhenguo was a fifth-grade martial artist, while the general of the Donghai Demon Soldier was a fourth-grade demon cultivator.
With a ten-fold difference in military strength, the generals of Zhen Guo Gong and Donghai Demon Soldier were still far behind in cultivation.
But the final result surprised everyone.
Of the five hundred soldiers, more than ten were killed and more than a hundred were injured. The rest of the soldiers were intact except for their physical exhaustion.
The demon soldiers in the East China Sea were just the opposite. The demon soldiers' generals were completely destroyed physically and mentally. More than 4,780 of the 5,000 demon soldiers were killed, and only a hundred or so demon soldiers escaped.
This is because the Duke of Zhen and his soldiers are exhausted and unable to pursue them any longer. Otherwise, none of these monster soldiers may be able to escape.
From then on, Duke Zhenguo lit up like a star, and in the past thirty years, he quickly became the brightest star in Daxuan's army.
Even though Daxuan's national power declined during the reign of Emperor Jiaming, the border monsters and aliens tried several times but did not dare to truly invade Daxuan.
In addition to worrying about the Korean force hiding Daxuan and the high-end combat power not having an advantage, the other thing is the worry about large army operations. Under the command of Zhen Guogong, Daxuan's army can be one against ten.
Naturally, He Ping'an had a hundred admirations for this Great Mysterious Army God.
"hiss......"
At this moment, the corner of Zhen Guogong's mouth twitched, and his face looked extremely painful, as if he was going through a life-and-death battle.
"Uh-huh!"
Without waiting for Emperor Longqing's instructions, He Ping'an held the Duke of Zhen's wrist and carefully explored the situation inside his body.
After a while, He Ping'an looked strange and put down Duke Zhen Guo's wrist.
"He Ping'an, how's it going?"
Emperor Longqing asked.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed as Master Chongyang said. This aura is strange and mysterious. The three auras of demonic, yin, and poisonous gas are mixed together, and it is indeed difficult to eliminate."
He Pingan said.
"What should I do?"
"Could it be that we can only ask the Martial Saint to take action?"
Emperor Longqing asked anxiously.
As the God of the Daxuan Army, Duke Zhen Guo relied on his absolute charm among the army to maintain Daxuan's millions of soldiers and maintain a certain combat effectiveness.
If he has three advantages and two disadvantages, Daxuan's millions of soldiers will be completely wiped out even if they don't collapse on the spot.
At this time, Liu Sheng finally showed a trace of remorse on his face.
He said that he was not afraid of attracting the Zhenguo Duke's family, but in fact, his heart was full of annoyance.
Duke Zhen Guo is the person who is most likely to break through to the Half-Step Martial Saint besides Zhao Yun.
One is the proud man of heaven, and the other is Fu Ji, a veteran who has accumulated a lot of experience.
If it was because of him that Duke Zhen Guo fell, then he would really be Daxuan's sinner.
Master Chongyang was also very upset. If he had known it, he would have taken action earlier to stop the strange aura.
But he didn't know that if He Ping'an hadn't revealed a breath and quietly frightened away the strange aura, he would still be a little behind with his thunder technique.
"Your Majesty and the two seniors don't need to panic. I just checked on Duke Zhen and found that Duke Zhen is not completely hopeless."
“It might even be a blessing in disguise!”
Seeing that they were in such a low mood, He Pingan quickly spoke to comfort everyone.
"A blessing in disguise, how can you say that?"
Emperor Longqing asked first.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhenguo has a high level of cultivation, is at the peak of the first rank, is physically strong, and has a rock-solid martial arts will. However, he has been unable to break through to the Half-Step Martial Saint level. The biggest reason is that he lacks some stimulation to his martial arts will! "
"The most important thing is the excitement of life and death."
"And just now he showed pain, it was that weird aura that was fighting to the death with his sea of consciousness and spiritual consciousness!"
As soon as He Pingan said this, Liu Sheng retorted: "Impossible. Zhen Guogong has participated in countless battles, big and small. He has escaped from death many times and turned defeat into victory. There are no more life-and-death battles than I know. Hundreds of games!”
Emperor Longqing and Master Chongyang nodded heavily. They were very familiar with Lord Zhenguo. Liu Sheng was right.
"That's wrong!"
Unexpectedly, He Pingan directly overturned Liu Sheng's remarks.
"Senior Liu Sheng, may I ask Duke Zhen Guo, when did you reach the peak of the first rank?"
"Forty years of Xingxuan!"
Liu Sheng replied without thinking.
Emperor Xingxuan was the father of Emperor Jiaming, and it was during his reign that he was officially granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo.
"Then I would like to ask, were the hundreds of life-and-death battles that Liu Sheng mentioned before or after the forty years of Xingxuan?"
He Ping'an asked again.
"Of course it was before, needless to say!"
Liu Sheng blurted out, then realized a problem and said tremblingly: "What do you mean?"
"good!"
Seeing that he had realized the problem, He Pingan nodded heavily.
Master Chongyang and Emperor Longqing were not fools. After hearing what they said, they immediately understood.
It is true that Zhen Guogong has experienced hundreds of life and death battles, but those were all before the peak of the first rank.
Since he became the Great Xuan Army God, the more armies he commanded, the less chance he had of life and death.
Until he broke through to the peak of the first rank and became the Duke of Zhenguo, he never even had the chance to participate in a life-and-death battle.
It's not that the Duke of Zhen will be afraid of death when he becomes an official.
But because he is no longer a person, he is the military god of the entire Daxuan, and even the spiritual pillar of the Daxuan army.
He can no longer take risks easily. If he has an accident, it will be a fatal blow to Daxuan.
Moreover, because of his high position, he did not have the opportunity to carry out dangerous tasks. He mostly commanded the army from the center.
After hearing the reason, Emperor Longqing immediately thought of the crux of the problem: "So you are saying that after experiencing this, Duke Zhen was able to break through to the Half-Step Martial Saint?"
