Chapter 777: King Yu on Iron Cage Mountain

"General Pei, although this is our first partnership, I think we can become the best comrades."

Walking out of the tent, Long Junzuo took a deep breath of the cool air and felt refreshed. He turned to look at Pei Xingjian and smiled.

The two walked side by side, heading deeper into the military camp.

Along the way, the soldiers saw them and saluted them, their eyes full of admiration and expectation.

As night fell, the military camp was brightly lit.

Long Junzuo and Pei Xingjian sat in the tent and continued to discuss the tactical details.

"General Pei, I think we can set up an ambush here, take advantage of the terrain, and give Xiang Yu a head-on blow."

Long Junzuo pointed to a location on the map, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"Yes, this is indeed a good place to set up an ambush. However, we also have to consider the countermeasures that Xiang Yu might adopt and be prepared in advance."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingjian looked at the map carefully and then nodded.

The two of them had a heated discussion, talking back and forth. It was not only about getting familiar with the tactics, but also about cultivating trust and tacit understanding between each other.

Time passed quietly, and when the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the military camp, Long Junzuo and Pei Xingjian had already developed a complete tactical plan.

At this time in Yunzhou, on Tielong Mountain, the mountain breeze was blowing gently, bringing with it a bit of the coolness of early autumn, but also mixed with the unique freshness and vitality of the mountains and forests.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, as if covering this towering peak with a mysterious veil.

On the top of the mountain, a simple but ancient Taoist temple stands quietly. In front of the temple, an old man in a green shirt with white hair and beard stands with his hands behind his back. He is the current Silver Spear Ancestor - Tan Tai Yu.

Tan Tai Yu, the former battlefield hero, now known as the "Iron Cage Mountain Man", is dressed in a plain robe, with white hair and beard, but his eyes flash with an undying edge.

He stood at the gate of the mountain courtyard, looking gently at Li Cunxiao who was packing his luggage in the courtyard, with mixed feelings in his heart.

This young man was adopted by him since he was a child. He was not only gifted, but also diligent and studious. His martial arts skills were even better than his master's, and he became the most proud disciple of Tan Tai Yu in his life.

And this burly and heroic young man is Li Cunxiao who is about to go out on a mission!

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and hit his armor, reflecting a dazzling light.

"Cunxiao, when you leave, you will step into the troubled world. Although I am very reluctant to let you go, I also know that you have great ambitions and are not a person who can stay in the world."

Tan Tai Yu's voice was low, but every word contained his earnest expectations for his disciples.

"Master, I will always remember your teachings."

"You always say that a man should stand between heaven and earth, and do what he should and what he shouldn't do."

"Now my disciple is going to the world. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, Cunxiao will definitely help Zhenguogong to pacify the troubled times, realize his ambitions, and live up to the years of teachings from his master."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao turned around, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times respectfully, with slightly red eyes.

"Good boy, I know you have a lot of responsibilities in your heart and a lot of responsibility on your shoulders."

"Remember, force may help people temporarily, but wisdom and kindness can help in the long run."

"Su Ye, the prince of Yun, is a rare talent. You must assist him and keep in mind the words loyalty and righteousness in order to achieve success. This time when you come down the mountain, you must not only help Su Ye, the prince, to stabilize the world, but also care about the world and put the people first."

Tan Tai Yu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Li Cunxiao up, his eyes full of relief. Just as Li Cunxiao was about to say goodbye, Tan Tai Yu suddenly called out softly, signaling Li Cunxiao to wait for a moment.

Then he turned and walked into the inner room of the Taoist temple. After a while, he walked out slowly with an ancient and heavy long weapon in his hand.

The sunlight shone through the door and onto the weapon, as if it had been coated with a layer of light golden light.

"Cunxiao, the master has something else to give you."

Tan Tai Yu's voice was gentle and solemn, with a mixture of reluctance and anticipation in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao quickly turned around and his eyes fell on the weapon in his master's hand. He couldn't help but feel a little curious.

This weapon is made of blue copper and iron. It has been through the test of time but still retains its sharpness.

It is shaped like a spear, but is thicker than an ordinary spear. The spear head is wide and flat, and the edge is sharp like a blade. There is a complicated totem cast in the center, and you can vaguely see the roar of dragons and the dance of phoenixes, as if it is about to break through the air and soar into the sky.

There are ancient seal characters engraved on the gun body, and each character contains deep power, as if it can communicate between heaven and earth and stir up the wind and clouds.

"This is the spear of King Yu, a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our Tantai family."

"It is said that this spear was used by ancient sages to control floods. It has the power to control floods, suppress evil spirits, and keep the area safe."

"Later, it became the guardian of our family. It has gone through countless storms and witnessed the rise and fall of countless heroes."

Tan Tai Yu gently stroked King Yu's Spear, a glimmer of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Cunxiao, you are extremely talented and have a heart for the world. You will definitely achieve great things this time."

"This Yu Wang Spear is not only a weapon, but also a blessing from your master to you. I hope it can help you to overcome all obstacles in troubled times and protect the peace of the area. I also hope that you can benefit the people like the ancient sages."

Having said that, Tan Tai Yu looked up at Li Cunxiao, his eyes full of expectation.

Li Cunxiao's eyes moistened when he heard this. He knew that the Yuwang Spear was of great significance to his master, and he also understood the heaviness behind this gift.

He walked forward slowly and took King Yu's Spear with both hands. He felt a heavy force coming from his palms, as if the whole world was concentrated on this weapon.

"Master, Cunxiao will live up to your trust and will make the power of this spear famous throughout the world and protect the people."

Li Cunxiao's voice was firm, and every word seemed like a vow bursting from the depths of his heart.

Tan Tai Yu looked at Li Cunxiao, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

The child that he raised by himself has grown into a hero who can stand on his own.

“Go, child. You still have a long way to go, but remember, no matter when or where, here are your roots and your home.”

He patted Li Cunxiao's shoulder gently and smiled.

At this time, the noise from the bottom of the mountain could be heard faintly, breaking the tranquility of the mountains.

Today, many people from Luowang, who are under Su Ye's command and are distributed in Yunzhou, have gathered at the foot of Tielong Mountain.

In particular, Luowang Zhao Gao had received Su Ye's urgent order very early, and was waiting for Li Cunxiao to set out at the foot of Tielong Mountain!
At this time, Tan Tai Yu looked down the mountain and saw teams of black-clothed, agile people from Luowang climbing up the mountain in an orderly manner. The leader was wearing a blood-red robe and emitting a faint, disgusting smell of blood. He was the leader of Luowang - Zhao Gao.
