Chapter Six of the Romantic Continent: The Situation Reverses

"What's that?"

a soldier standing in the distance suddenly exclaimed. Ye Tianlong, annoyed by the interruption of his comprehension, looked in the direction the soldier was pointing and saw a thick plume of smoke rising into the distance, followed by dozens more plumes of black smoke that obscured the sky.

"That's the direction of Chihe City!"

Before Ye Tianlong could understand what was happening, a soldier who appeared to be a captain suddenly shouted, causing a commotion among the surrounding soldiers.

The two opponents, concentrating their strength and preparing for a full-force attack, also heard the commotion and simultaneously withdrew their energy, looking up.

Upon seeing the smoke, Xia Yun's expression changed. Judging from the location and distance, the black smoke was rising directly from Chihe City, a major town on the banks of the Chihe River and the gateway from Gaoyang Prefecture into Dengzhou.

"What on earth is going on?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Xia Yun's mind, and a terrifying idea quickly took hold: was the enemy launching a surprise attack on Chihe City? But according to intelligence, there shouldn't be any other troops in the vicinity!

“My dear junior brother, I forgot to tell you something.”

Shura casually sheathed his greatsword, saying easily, “Last night when I arrived in Trasimme Town, I think I saw the Fast army’s fleet anchored nearby.”

Xia Yun paused, then suddenly looked up at Shura and said, “So, you didn’t come from Trasimme Town.”

“That’s right.” Shura nodded. “The Fast army blockaded Trasimme Town, so I had to camp in the wilderness. I took a shortcut this morning.”

Xia Yun’s face paled. The Fast army had taken advantage of his entire army’s deployment to deal with Ye Tianlong to suddenly attack Chihe City, and with a fleet no less. This had indeed caught him completely off guard. He

hadn’t expected that while he had used bait to lure Ye Tianlong’s army into a trap, the Fast army had used Ye Tianlong’s troops as bait to lure out his main force.

At this moment, billowing dust rose from the direction of Trasimme Town, clearly indicating that a large army was advancing. In no time, the Fast army’s banner appeared in everyone’s sight.

Meanwhile, behind them, the gradually subsiding sounds of battle grew louder and seemed to be moving towards them.

Ye Tianlong immediately recognized the Fast army coming from Trasimme Town, led by Fan Tong, and was overjoyed. Fan Tong had clearly also seen Ye Tianlong and his men, and quickly quickened his pace.

"That bastard Hai Yingyang, he tricked me..." Xia Yun suddenly cursed, turned his horse around, and shouted to his men, "Retreat!" The

already disheartened soldiers immediately followed Xia Yun in a rapid retreat. Before Fan Tong even arrived, the enemy on this side had already vanished.

Seeing Ye Tianlong about to meet Fan Tong and his men, Shura spurred his beloved horse, Benlei, and leaped in front of Ye Tianlong.

"Lord Ye, don't forget my five million."

"Just kidding, I..."

Ye Tianlong wanted to say, "I was just teasing you," but before he could finish, a chilling glint flashed in Shura's eyes, piercing his very soul. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of fear, and the words on his lips immediately changed.

"How could I forget your life-saving grace? It's just five million, nothing..."

The words came out like the wind, and Ye Tianlong was surprised to find himself being blackmailed by this guy, burdened with a debt of five million gold coins. You see, five million gold coins is a concept that most people don't even have.

Even if you called people to carry it, it would take thirty or forty people to lift it.

What angered Ye Tianlong the most was that Shura already knew that his army was nearby and was about to march this way. Therefore, regardless of whether Shura made a move or not, as long as he held out for a while, Fan Tong and the others would arrive.

"Very well, I want it now."

Shura looked at Ye Tianlong with a half-smile and stretched out a giant hand.

"Boss, didn't I arrive just in time?" Before Ye Tianlong could answer Shura's question, Fan Tong had already rushed to Ye Tianlong's side, grinning widely and shouting, "Haha, I actually managed to steal the biggest credit! This time, I've completely overshadowed Lao Ji and the others!"

Turning his head to see Shura, Fan Tong's eyes widened: "Hey, who are you? What do you want?"

"Creditor." Shura didn't even look up, just stared at Ye Tianlong, withdrawing his outstretched hand and gently stroking Benlei's mane.

"Creditor?" Fan Tong's eyes widened even more. "Does my boss owe you money?"

"Don't say anymore." Ye Tianlong interrupted Fan Tong impatiently. "You're too late. This guy got all the credit and I have to pay five million gold coins."

"Five...five million?"

Fan Tong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Just then, Shura jumped off his horse, walked to his side, and gently patted Fan Tong's shoulder, saying, "Little brother, this is what they call being lucky."

"You..." Fan Tong almost jumped up. "You bastard, are you trying to extort me?"

"Forget it, let's go back and talk about it." Ye Tianlong stopped Fan Tong's actions and turned to Shura, saying, "I don't have that much money on me right now. Come back with me, and I'll give you the money, okay?"

Shura nodded and said, "No problem. Nobody can carry five million gold coins on them. To be honest, it's too much to carry."

"Knowing it's too much to carry, you're still so greedy." Fan Tong couldn't help but mutter to himself. Shura pretended not to hear, walked to his mount, and mounted.

On the way to Chihe City, Ye Tianlong learned some details of the upcoming campaign from Fan Tong.

It turned out that after Ye Tianlong departed from Esnia, the Tianlong Legion in Qingzhou immediately received the news. With Chen Yue's approval, Ji Wujiu immediately mobilized the army and arranged the deployment.

When Ye Tianlong's letter arrived in Qingzhou, after reading his plan, Chen Yue immediately ordered the three armies to move out.

Qing Ji and Zuo Daojin each led 10,000 troops from Xintai, entering Gaoyang Prefecture to contain Xia He's main force from the rear. The remaining generals led 50,000 troops towards Dengzhou, preparing to join Ye Tianlong.

Unexpectedly, halfway there, they received intelligence that Ye Tianlong had changed his plans. After calculating Ye Tianlong's route, Chen Yue felt something was amiss. By the time she wanted to send someone to advise Ye Tianlong, it was too late. Ye Tianlong's marching speed was too fast to catch.

Therefore, upon receiving intelligence that Xia Yun of Dengzhou had secretly mobilized troops, Chen Yue immediately realized the situation was dire. At this point, catching up with Ye Tianlong by land was impossible. Moreover, another general under Xia He, Vilia, had 15,000 soldiers stationed in Kona City, blocking the road to Chihe City.

Thus, with Suo Chong's help, the Tianlong Legion found a little-known river that bypassed Kona City and connected directly to the Chihe River.

Meanwhile, the steamships built by the brothers Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang were completed.

The Tianlong Legion soldiers boarded the warships and sailed directly down the Chihe River, committing no offenses along the way, successfully reaching the town of Trasimé on the upper reaches of the Chihe River. After a brief rest in the town, they marched upstream towards Chihe City.

Meanwhile, Fan Tong led 5,000 soldiers by land to search for Ye Tianlong's troops.

As they approached Chihe City, Chen Yue had several warships disguised as ordinary merchant ships. Once the city gates were opened, the main force of the Tianlong Legion warships swarmed in, launching a fierce attack.

Because most of the city's troops had been taken away by Xia Yun, and given the Tianlong Legion's surprise attack, Chihe City fell into their hands in no time.

After capturing Chihe City, Chen Yue didn't allow the Tianlong Legion soldiers to rest. Instead, she immediately ordered them to lead their troops out of the city at full speed to attack Xia Yun's army, which was lying in ambush on Ye Tianlong in the woods, from the rear.

Their timing was impeccable; at that moment, Xia Yun was leading his troops in pursuit of Ye Tianlong, while the rest of his forces were chasing the retreating armored cavalry.

Therefore, when the Tianlong Legion's army suddenly appeared before them, Xia Yun's troops immediately fell into chaos. Especially when they learned that these Fast troops had attacked them only after capturing Chihe City, the fear of their retreat being cut off gripped every soldier's nerves.

And with their commander Xia Yun nowhere to be found, the soldiers' morale and confidence vanished instantly. Originally Fast people, they quickly scattered and fled, or simply chose to surrender to the enemy.

As they spoke, Chihe City came into view. Except for the Tianlong Legion soldiers who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, all the generals came out of the city to greet their Legion Commander Ye Tianlong. The meeting was naturally a lively affair.

Ye Tianlong was deeply moved; he had just been worried about his life, yet he had suffered a defeat while his own men had already captured the enemy's city. Truly, the world is unpredictable and difficult to fathom.

After bowing, Ji Wujiu straightened up and said, "Your Excellency's victorious return is truly a blessing for our army!"

"Old Ji, don't flatter me,"

Ye Tianlong said with a wry smile, patting Ji Wujiu's shoulder with his right hand.

"You are the victors, I am a defeated general, almost losing my life."

Ji Wujiu shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is mistaken. If it weren't for your swift advance, drawing Xia Yun's army outside the city, capturing Chihe City would not have been an easy task for our army."

Ye Tianlong shook his head: "You fought very well, I will record your merits."

With that, he strode forward.

Ji Wujiu caught up with him and said beside Ye Tianlong, "This is all thanks to Lady Chenyue, I was just following orders."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Lady Chenyue is waiting for you, Your Excellency."

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the back of the column. Ye Tianlong turned around and saw that Fan Tong and Xiu Luo were gesturing and talking animatedly.

After learning of Xiu Luo's identity and his relationship with Ye Tianlong, Ji Wujiu and the others were extremely polite to him. However, they were also furious that he had taken the opportunity to extort five million gold coins from Ye Tianlong.

They didn't show it immediately, but Fan Tong couldn't hold back. Seeing this, Ji Wujiu and the others naturally stepped forward to mediate. After all, Xiu Luo was Ye Tianlong's savior, and a conflict like this would sound bad. They didn't need to

concern themselves with Fan Tong and Xiu Luo's situation; with Ji Wujiu and the others around, nothing serious would happen. Ye Tianlong gave some instructions and then went to meet Chen Yue.

Upon arriving, Chen Yue, who had been informed, was already waiting at the door. As soon as Ye Tianlong entered, she and her two maids bowed gracefully, their voices sweet and melodious.

"Congratulations, my lord, on your victorious return."

Ye Tianlong strode up to Chen Yue, pulled her up, and saw the joy of their reunion and the deep affection in her beautiful eyes. He couldn't help but laugh, "Are you teasing me too?"

Chen Yue smiled and said, "My lord, you flatter me. How could I dare to tease you about your decision to seek out Shura

?"

"Don't say that." Ye Tianlong led the way into the house, and Chen Yue and the two maids quickly followed.

"If it weren't for you this time, I would have been finished." Ye Tianlong said with considerable emotion, "I didn't expect Xia Yun to be so capable, calculating my actions so accurately."

“Your actions are actually quite predictable. Just analyze the data from the previous battles, and you'll have a conclusion soon.”

Although Chen Yue thought this to herself, she still comforted Ye Tianlong aloud, saying, “They were able to anticipate your actions because they had spies planted within your ranks. Moreover, this time, your operation was a lone expedition, inherently risky. My husband's courage is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.”

Saying this, she smiled and added, “If your actions hadn't drawn all their attention, we wouldn't have been able to…” It is so easy to capture this city. In total, the biggest credit is still yours. "

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your little mouth is really good at talking. "

Chen Yue took a cup of fragrant tea with her own hands, handed it to Ye Tianlong, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, husband.

Ye Tianlong laughed and said: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments. You have made great achievements this time. What kind of reward do you want?" 　　Chen Yue's beautiful

eyes lit up, and she suddenly said eagerly: "I want a child, is that okay?" " Ye Tianlong was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Yue's bright and pretty face, speechless for a long time 　　. Chen Yue hugged Ye Tianlong's neck, raised her delicate face like a flower, exhaled like a orchid, and said in a tired voice: "You don't know how lonely people are sometimes. If you have a child, you won't feel like this. " 　　Ye Tianlong smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have the final say on this. 　　Chen Yue said happily: "Just agree, you know how much I want a child!" "After that, she gave him a kiss to express her joy. 　　Ye Tianlong held the beautiful woman's slender waist, inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from her, at a loss for words. 　　He could feel Chen Yue's deep affection, but sometimes even he felt like he was dreaming, and he wished this dream would never end. 　　After embracing for a while, the two separated. Only then did Ye Tianlong have time to look around. He found it exquisite and elegant; the tea table and chairs were all made of precious sandalwood. A small incense burner made of snow jade emitted a faint, elegant, and lingering fragrance, the entire room decorated in a way that made one forget worldly concerns. 　　"How about it?" Seeing Ye Tianlong notice the surrounding items, Chen Yue couldn't help but say with a hint of pride, "These are all things I carry with me. From now on, wherever I go, I'll use my own things." 　　"Don't you find it troublesome to carry all this?" Ye Tianlong frowned slightly. "Why 　　bother with all this pomp and circumstance?" "Not at all," Chen Yue replied proudly. "I designed my own travel furniture, which is very convenient to carry because it can all be disassembled and folded." 　　"You know, using your own things feels different. So, I even brought a bed. Do you want to take a look?" 　　Hearing Chen Yue say this, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but find it both amusing and intriguing. His beautiful wife was truly fascinating.

Just as he was about to speak, a subordinate rushed in, urgently saying, "Sir, something bad has happened! General Fan Tong is about to fight with Shura! Lord Ji Wujiu requests your presence!"

"What did you say?"

Ye Tianlong jumped up, hurriedly asking what was going on.

It turned out that after entering the city, Fan Tong had specifically sought out Shura, immediately saying, "Hey, big guy, you've actually double-crossed me, trying to steal from my boss! You've got some nerve!"

Faced with Fan Tong's challenge, Shura was no pushover either: "It's all your boss's fault for being so bad, getting chased all over the place..."

Hearing this, Fan Tong naturally wouldn't let it go. He already had a lot of anger towards Shura, and now it all exploded.

The two then agreed to have a proper fight on the training ground. If Shura lost, he would forgo the five million gold coins.

"Come back early tonight, I'll be waiting for you."

As Ye Tianlong followed the messenger out, Chen Yue's tender words almost made him unable to leave. But considering the conflict between Fan Tong and Shura, Ye Tianlong had no choice but to temporarily put the beautiful woman aside.

Upon arriving at the training ground, he found a large crowd of spectators already gathered. These weren't ordinary civilians; they were all generals of the Tianlong Legion. They knew Fan Tong's strength and Shura's reputation, so naturally, they wanted to witness their duel.

"The lord is here! The lord is here..."

Seeing Ye Tianlong enter, the generals made way for him.

In the center of the vast training ground, Fan Tong and Shura faced each other directly. Both were burly giants, and their combined presence exuded an astonishing aura. Seeing this scene, Ye Tianlong suddenly had a strange thought: if Zuo Daojin were also standing here, it would be even more interesting.

When Ye Tianlong arrived, it was clear that Fan Tong and Shura had already fought once; both their faces were damp with sweat, and although their chests rose and fell slightly, their breathing remained long and steady.

The changes in the surrounding crowd and Ye Tianlong's appearance slightly distracted the two men standing opposite each other.

Suddenly, a strange cry rang out, and Fan Tong seized the opportunity, advancing into a horse stance and unleashing a powerful palm strike. A sudden gust of wind and thunder arose, the sound of the palm piercing the air like a light thunderclap, the sheer power of his inner strength astonishing.

"Well done!"

Shura shouted, his spirits soaring, and immediately pushed forward with both palms, using

the force of a mountain-moving, sea-filling attack to meet Fan Tong's attack head-on. The two were eight feet apart, but with a stretch of their hands, they closed the distance by three feet, so in reality, there was only two feet of space between their palms—the distance where palm strikes were most powerful, where the one with deeper skill would prevail, a direct clash of strength against strength.

A strange sound of air rushing forth rang out, and both men's horse stances trembled simultaneously, each retreating two steps rapidly, dust flying, robes fluttering, seemingly evenly matched.

"Again!"

Before his horse stance could stabilize, Fan Tong launched another attack, sliding in, striking out with his palm, exhaling and making a sound, striking three times in quick succession in an instant.

His fight with Shura was that simple, without any fancy moves, just a direct clash of strength.

Frankly, under such pressure, it would be very difficult for someone to use any tricks.

Amidst the tremors of wind and thunder, the figures merged and then separated. Both men took two steps back, their faces pale.

"Stop!"

Seeing Fan Tong still wanting to fight, Ye Tianlong shouted, leaping between them.

"We're all on the same side, why fight to the death? If you want to prove who's the strongest, why not test your killing skills on the battlefield?"

"Alright," Fan Tong was the first to respond, glaring at Shura, his chest heaving, clearly exhausted from the fight: "Since you say so, boss, I'll let you go today. Next time, we'll see who's the strongest on the battlefield."

Shura glanced at Ye Tianlong and nodded, saying, "No problem, on the battlefield I'll show you what real kung fu is."

Seeing there was nothing more to see, the others left, inevitably discussing the two men's martial arts skills.

"Actually, Shura had the upper hand. But for some reason, he held back."

Ji Wujiu whispered as he passed Ye Tianlong, then went to pull Fan Tong away. Ye Tianlong was momentarily stunned.

"What did you mean by 'killing the enemy on the battlefield' earlier, sir? Do you want me to stay?"

When only Ye Tianlong and Shura remained on the training ground, Shura suddenly asked with a smile.

"That's right, are you willing to stay?" Ye Tianlong answered without hesitation.

"No." Shura's answer was very straightforward, which surprised Ye Tianlong.
