Chapter 375: Siege of the Seven Star Gate
Qi Xingba sat in the first seat, his face looking extremely ugly.
Gu Chan couldn't help it any longer, staring at him and asking, "Master, what happened? Even if the young prince wanted to capture me, he wouldn't have to bring five thousand soldiers with his father!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The father and son are just looking for an excuse to destroy my Seven Stars Sect." Qixingba said with a gloomy face.
Gu Chan and others took a deep breath when they heard this.
After all this time, they finally understood now that the situation in South City was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. King Nanxian actually had a feud with the Seven Stars Sect. It seemed that the two sides had a deep grudge against each other for a long time, otherwise they would not have made such a big fuss this time.
In other words, Gu Chan was unfamiliar with the place and was used as a pawn the first time she came here.
Qixingba sighed and said, "You outsiders, of course, don't know the situation in our South City. Now our South City is in a three-way confrontation. The Nanxian Palace, the County Government, and the Qixing Gate. These three forces don't like each other. If you want to control the entire South City in one fell swoop, you must take action against the other two forces."
"No wonder the current county magistrate wants to resign and retire to elect a new one. After all this time, he has been forced into no choice." Gu Chan said with relief.
"Yes, he has been defeated by King Nanxian and his son. The new county magistrate will definitely be King Nanxian's man, so King Nanxian now urgently needs to take action against our Qixingmen. It just so happens that you escaped last night, so you gave them an excuse to lead their troops to kill us." Qixingba said.
Gu Chan immediately stood up and bowed to him to apologize, "Master, I am so sorry. I didn't know the situation in South City was so complicated. If I had known, I would not have fled to you last night. Now I have hurt you, please forgive me."
"Boss, let's go now! This way, they will have no reason to attack the Seven Stars Gate." Ma Zheng said hurriedly.
Qi Xing Ba waved his hand and said, "No need. Now all the roads leading down the mountain are blocked. You can't go down the mountain at all. Even if you can go down the mountain, you will be caught at the road below. Then the father and son will just say that they didn't catch you, and then they will attack our Qi Xing Sect. So this battle is unavoidable."
"This father and son are so powerful! No wonder I said that yesterday in the Zhaixing Pavilion, the young prince grabbed me and wouldn't let go, and said in such a funny way that he wanted to marry me. For a long time, this was all their interconnected conspiracy. The ultimate goal was to force me to run away, and then use this as an excuse to attack the Seven Stars Gate. They really predicted my prediction." Gu Chan said with a sullen face.
It was not until this moment that she fully understood how shrewd King Nanxian and his son were.
They have mastered the art of overt conspiracy to perfection. Compared with the Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qing, they are even better.
"Damn it! There's really no good person in the royal family. Damn it!"
After thinking all this through, Gu Chan couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Qixingba smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you don't run away, they will find an excuse to attack my Qixingmen later. And to put it bluntly, if they really want to get you into the Xianwang Mansion, you will become theirs in the future, which will be a hundred benefits for them and no harm. So whether you run away or not, it will be a good thing for them."
"It's a pity that this father and son stay in Nancheng. If they use such brains to fight the enemy, there is no reason why our Tiancang Kingdom cannot win." Cheng Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Think about how much suffering the people living on the border had to endure when the Diyue Kingdom attacked the Tiancang Kingdom, and how many soldiers had sacrificed their lives. However, this father and son were living a life of luxury in Nancheng, acting as if it had nothing to do with them. In the end, the emperor was forced to send his ninth son, Xuanyuan Qing, to travel thousands of miles to Zhongyuan City to take command.
If the father and son had volunteered to go to Zhongyuan City to take command, the enemy would not have been able to reach Lianyin Mountain so quickly, and the 100,000 soldiers in the Zhongyuan camp would not have died in vain. From this point of view, the father and son were probably not really a responsible royal family!
Gu Chan naturally understood these reasons, and immediately became angry. "Master, although this matter has nothing to do with me, I was used as a pawn by them after all, and brought danger to your Seven Stars Sect. So please let me handle this matter today. I will definitely find a way to help you repel the enemy."
"Are you sure? Now the father and son have led their troops to attack us, and there are still a large number of soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain. It will not be easy to make them retreat like this!" Qixingba said worriedly.
"Master, don't worry. I have my own way." Gu Chan said, patting his chest.
Qi Xingba was speechless, still a little worried.
The key point is that Gu Chan was standing in front of him. She looked small, only about twelve or thirteen years old, just like a child! It was rumored that she defeated 100,000 enemy troops with 800 cavalrymen in Lianyin Mountain, but that was just a rumor after all.
When the person in the rumors really stood in front of him, he would still be suspicious, which is also human nature.
Ma Zheng said impatiently, "Master, why are you still hesitating? Just hand over all the disciples to my boss! You should know that in the previous war, my boss defeated 100,000 enemy troops with only 800 cavalry. Now there are only 5,000 troops. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Gu Chan, did you really defeat an enemy force of 100,000 with only 800 cavalrymen?" Qi Xingba asked.
"Oh! I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just sit in the hall. Don't come out unless I tell you to. From now on, all your disciples will be under my command." Gu Chan said unhappily.
After saying that, she led her men out and rushed towards the main entrance.
Qi Xingba looked at her from behind with a curious look on his face. He really wanted to see if this young kid was as powerful as the rumors said.
Thinking of this, he immediately passed down the order without saying anything, asking all the disciples in the sect to obey Gu Chan's command.
As this order was passed down, all the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect were shocked.
No one could have imagined that a little brat like Gu Chan could gain such trust from the Sect Leader, but precisely because of this, they became even more nervous.
Qi Xingtong was so angry that she rushed into the hall, wanting her father to take back his decision.
But before she could persuade him, King Nanxian and his son had already led a large number of troops to the sect's gate.
She rushed out in a hurry again, and together with her disciples, blocked the door tightly and confronted King Nanxian and others.
