Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86: Under the Frozen Throne...

"Hand over Changxing County to me, or else..."

As Han Ling’s eyes met the chilling tip of the Horned Spear, Long Chen didn’t speak, but Han Ling understood. It was a matter of killing himself off to the newbie village, leaving his remaining cavalry with nothing.

Biting his lip, Han Ling lowered his head and said, "I... am... willing..."

The last two words were almost gritted through his teeth. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Long Chen gestured, and only then did Xu Chu put down his butcher’s knife, kicking the soldier beneath his feet several yards away.

After settling the matter with Han Ling, Long Chen acquired Changxing County.

He thought to himself, "With Changxing County, I can use it as a stepping stone to conquer Danyang Commandery!"

With Danyang Commandery, he could obtain a steady flow of elite Danyang soldiers! This would serve as the foundation for his domination.

Xu Chu walked over, scratching his head. "My lord, when are we going to the monster’s lair? My greatsword has been craving action!"

Only then did Long Chen turn around; the monster’s cave was the actual purpose of their trip!

"Let’s go, Zhongkang, you can accompany me in right now!"

Xu Chu promptly jogged over, standing in front of Long Chen. If there was danger, he’d be the first to get hurt.

Long Chen felt a warm feeling. Following behind him, the Horned Spear revealed its icy edge as a precaution against any unexpected occurrences.

Xu Chu’s tiger-like eyes emitted a red and black mystical light from his left and right eyes respectively.

The Blood Tiger and the Black Bear stood guard on his left and right, exuding an imposing aura!

They ventured forward along the pitch-black cave.

After an unknown amount of time, it seemed like they entered a different world. The pitch-black turned into shades of blue and white, accompanied by a biting cold that even made the robust Xu Chu shiver.

"My Lord, it’s getting colder and colder!"

Long Chen’s brows furrowed; almost all the missing soldiers had fallen here, turned into ice corpses.

Fortunately, due to Long Chen and Xu Chu’s high-level strength and vigorous vitality, they could barely resist this terrifying cold.

The cold felt like icy swords piercing through their skin.

The more they advanced, the more Long Chen felt the treasure inside must be extraordinary, urging him to endure despite the biting cold.

But he was fully prepared; if he couldn’t hold on, they’d immediately retreat.

After an unknown duration, frost had covered Xu Chu’s thick, bushy black eyebrows, turning them white. Long Chen’s lips were purple from the cold.

"My... my lord... perhaps... perhaps we should retreat!"

Xu Chu was extremely concerned about Long Chen’s condition. He himself was sturdy and could hold on for a while, but his lord couldn’t endure much longer; the vitality was gradually fading.

Long Chen remained silent.

Suddenly, there was a bright light in front of him. What was that?

There was an ice-sealed throne ahead! And on the ice-sealed throne lay a massive egg, much larger than an ostrich egg! The egg’s shell was adorned with intricate runes, white and blue intertwining!

Under such harsh conditions, this giant egg appeared completely unscathed! Moreover, considering the layout of the surroundings, it seemed like this colossal egg had been lying here for quite some time.

Could it be the progeny of a powerful monster?

Long Chen wasn’t sure; his brain had frozen into a lump, making it very difficult to think.

"Zhong... Zhongkang... you, go and take that egg down, be careful!"

Long Chen weakly instructed.

Following orders, Xu Chu saluted, "Yes, my lord, keep a close eye on it!"

Immediately, Xu Chu unleashed his Tiger-Bear Tyrant Technique at its peak.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The Blood Tiger and Black Bear roared as Xu Chu, like a human bomb, descended forcefully. His eyes turned red, grabbing the giant egg hastily and swiftly retreating.

Visible to the naked eye, as soon as Xu Chu touched the egg, his arms were instantly covered in frost. This indicated the terrifying ice attribute of this giant egg!

"My Lord, it’s such a huge egg!"

"Zhongkang, retreat quickly!"

Subsequently, the two of them dashed out of the cave.

Long Chen worried that the egg might get damaged, so he took off his clothes and covered the egg with them.

Little one, I’ll go all out for you! Don’t let me down!

...

After Dong Zhuo seized power, he oppressed the people, causing widespread anger among the officials. Wu Fu, a cavalry lieutenant, attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo but was killed in the attempt. One day, Wang Yun, the Minister of Works, feigned a celebration and invited a few former officials to his residence to talk.

When he spoke of "the fate of the nation hanging by a thread," he couldn’t help but cover his face and cry.

Colonel Cao Cao, the valiant cavalry commander, looked coldly at him, then suddenly shouted:

"Humph! Crying? Can crying really save His Majesty? Can crying restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty? It’s truly laughable!"

The other court officials who were weeping with Minister Wang Yun heard this and couldn’t maintain their composure.

In a harsh tone, they reprimanded Cao Cao, but Cao Cao remained silent, only observing coldly.

Seeing Cao Cao’s dissent, Wang Yun’s heart stirred. He promptly dismissed the guests, leaving only Cao Cao behind for a private conversation.

Wang Yun said, "Mengde, the country has fallen to this state, and I feel guilty for the Han Dynasty! Unfortunately, I’m old, and I don’t know how to save the Han from this dire situation."

"Do you have any good ideas, especially after hearing your extraordinary words today?"

After a moment of contemplation, Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "I’ve heard that the Wang family possesses a hereditary Seven-Star Treasure Blade! Rumor has it that this blade can cut iron like mud. Could you lend it to me?"

Wang Yun, no simpleton, was taken aback by these words, taking a few steps back in shock, exclaiming, "Mengde, Mengde, are you trying to assassinate Dong Zhuo!?"

The next day at noon, Cao Cao’s plot to assassinate Dong Zhuo was exposed.

Dong Zhuo was immediately furious and terrified.

He was angry because he had treated Cao Cao well on regular days, never expecting this guy to openly attempt to assassinate him.

He was scared because if Cao Cao had succeeded, he might have lost his life!

Dong Zhuo roared and ordered Lu Bu, who was standing nearby, "Find him for me!"

"Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find Cao Aman for me!!!"

Under Dong Zhuo’s rage, Cao Cao had no foothold in the Commandery of Shili and hastily fled to other commanderies.

After numerous hardships, Cao Cao finally managed to escape back to Chenliu. Subsequently, he disbursed his wealth, recruited soldiers, and actively contacted Yuan Shao. He distributed edicts calling for the extermination of Dong Zhuo, gaining responses from all over the country.

On the gaming forum of Huaxia Fu, this event was widely discussed.

"It looks like our opportunity has come again! Various princes are responding to Cao Mengde’s call to overthrow Dong Zhuo! We can take advantage of the situation and pressure the tyrant!"

"Right, our previous failure was due to our strength being too weak! However, now, after a period of rest and development, our strength has greatly increased!"

"And we have the support of other princes. This plan to overthrow Dong Zhuo is sure to succeed!"

The alliance in Jizhou, Tomorrow’s Dynasty, immediately held a high-level meeting upon hearing this news. The discussion centered on how to coordinate with other princes to advance toward Luoyang.
