Chapter 278 Entering the Canyon
Wang Yao's expression changed slightly: "Didn't you say before that it's impossible for a soldier to become a hero?"

"That's what I said." Zhuge Liang said, "But in recent years, rumors have been spreading outside that no soldier has successfully advanced to a hero in the past hundred years. The soldiers are beginning to doubt it. If we let the rumors spread, the soldiers may not want to enter the canyon to fight again."

Wang Yao showed a hint of sneer on his face. "So, in order to continue to obtain energy crystals, Jixia Academy would make an exception and promote a soldier? Ha, such an ugly way of eating is really in line with the usual style of Jixia Academy."

After a pause, Wang Yao said to Zhuge Liang, "Then who is it? After hearing what you said, I can't help but want to see which country's soldiers are so lucky."

Zhuge Liang looked expressionlessly at Wang Yao, who was smiling mockingly. With a piercing cold wind, he spoke softly.
With his hair flying, Wang Yao's eyes widened, completely stunned in the cold wind.

Outside Jingzhou, in front of the teleportation matrix, there were no less than five-digit soldiers densely packed together. People were whispering to each other while waiting for the heroes to activate the teleportation array.

Wang Yao stood in the crowd, staring blankly at the ground, silent like a scarecrow.

Suddenly, someone patted my shoulder from behind: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Wang Yao came back to his senses and glanced at the person behind him; only to find that Zhao Yun, with the strength of a master, was standing behind him.

"Nothing." Wang Yao shook off his distracting thoughts and forced a smile: "When did you come?"

"I followed you as soon as we left Jingzhou, but you were chatting with Zhuge Liang at that time, so I didn't come closer." Zhao Yun said with a subtle look: "You seem to have a special relationship with him."

Wang Yao smiled and said, "Why? You seem to be reluctant for me to get too close to the military advisor."

"Yes." Zhao Yun was honest and nodded directly: "Although he made you what you are now, after all, that man is essentially a cold-blooded animal. You have to be careful, otherwise if he tricks you one day, you won't know how you died!"

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, right?"

Zhuge Liang was a little cold towards others, and sometimes quite ruthless, but not to the point of keeping a respectful distance.

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with resentment: "How could there be no?! This man betrayed me at the beginning, knowing that..."

Zhao Yun stopped talking halfway through his words, as if he didn't want to reveal too much of his past to Wang Yao. He said instead: "Anyway, it's right to trust your brother Yun! After all, that man is from Jixia Academy, so it's best to keep some distance from him."

Believe in you and you will have eternal life?

Wang Yao punched Zhao Yun without any hesitation, but did not say anything else in the end; Zhuge Liang had told him all about Zhao Yun's past the day before yesterday, but at this moment Wang Yao felt that with Zhuge Liang's character, he should not do anything against morality. Was there perhaps some misunderstanding?

No matter what, with the war imminent, Wang Yao no longer has the time to focus on these old events and right and wrong. What he should be most concerned about right now is another issue.

"My sister and old man were unable to join the battle this time, which may cause us a lot of inconvenience when we are operating online."

Zhao Yun naturally understood what Wang Yao meant, but he said nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, the reason why I hid my identity was simply because I didn't want Zhuge Liang to know that I was in Shu. Now that he already knows my identity, there is no need to hide it anymore."

Hearing this, Wang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was good news for him that Zhao Yun no longer needed to hide his identity. His own identity was sensitive to begin with, and he was inevitably timid when around others. If even Zhao Yun had to hide his identity, he might as well not participate in this war and go with Zhou Yu to conquer Fuso!

Gubo——

Just as the two were talking, amidst the earth-shaking shaking, a huge blue light curtain suddenly illuminated half of the sky, and the transmission matrix was activated!
“Let’s go.” Wang Yao turned around, looked up at the miracles in the sky, and said coldly with his back to Zhao Yun: “For the sake of the former Seventh Main Force!”

Following the line of soldiers through the portal, the scenery between heaven and earth changes instantly.

A giant square paved with slate stone slabs, with a high city wall at the end, and outside of that is a vast canyon battlefield full of lush greenery!

When these scenes that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar appeared before his eyes again, Wang Yao's eyes, which were slightly glowing red, gradually became extremely sharp.

All his former companions were killed by the Wei State here. Now, he came to this place again with all his gear ready. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, just to defeat the Wei State and comfort the souls of his former comrades! This is even more true for Zhao Yun. His private relationship with Maomao and others is second only to his relationship with Wang Yao. When he returned from a long trip and learned that the Seventh Main Force had all been buried in the canyon, the usually taciturn Zhao Yun never expressed too much, but the grief and hatred in his heart were no less than Wang Yao's!

The two men walked towards the outside of the high ground with gloomy faces, their bodies filled with boundless murderous intent that seemed to be unable to be suppressed at any moment. The invisible oppressive force scared many soldiers around them so much that they subconsciously made way.

Just when Wang Yao had no time to look around, a clear shout was heard from afar.

"Hey, who is that? Oh, Shi Lanbing! Wait a minute. Hey, do you hear me?"

Because the environment was too noisy and Wang Yao was focused on his own thoughts, he did not hear the call.

After a while, the shouting stopped, and then, it was replaced by a thin black line that suddenly shot towards the back of Wang Yao's head from behind!

Snapped!
Wang Yao, who always had a keen intuition, turned around quickly when he sensed the danger, and raised his hand to catch the powerful black line, but when he opened his palm, he found that it was actually a candy.

"What the hell?"

Wang Yao looked back in confusion, only to see a girl in a green dress holding a candy in her mouth walking towards him with long, slender legs. Her rosy oval face was slightly angry: "I called you so many times, why didn't you respond to me? You have to do it, right?!"

It's like tangible anger, accompanied by a fresh girlish fragrance and sweet candy flavor.

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment. Was it Sun Shangxiang who called him just now? Never mind, if she said yes, then yes. He couldn't afford to offend this woman.

Thinking of this, Wang Yao said, "I was distracted just now. What instructions do you have, sir?"

"Call me Miss!" Sun Shangxiang frowned and seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said unhappily, "Which route are you taking?"

"Why do you ask that, sir?"

Sun Shangxiang's anger came and went quickly. Seeing Wang Yaochui asking, she smiled and said, "Hehe, I am merciful and have decided to follow your lead!"

As soon as the words fell, King Zhao and the other man were stunned.

But after exchanging a glance with Zhao Yun, and with Zhao Yun shaking his head in a subtle way, Wang Yao turned to Sun Shangxiang, bowed slightly, and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Excellency, as the commander-in-chief, I need to support the three routes at any time according to different situations, so there is no fixed route."

"You've had a hard time!" Sun Shangxiang thought for a moment, then smiled with her red and tender little lips: "But this seems to be quite fun, I'll go with you."

"Sir, you should go and guard the bottom lane with General Zhang Fei, right?"

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Wang Yao, then raised her smooth chin proudly: "Humph, who wants to guard the line with that big guy? Besides, no one has dared to control me since I was a child. I can go wherever I like!"

Listening to the girl's willful words, Wang Yao smiled bitterly and said, "No, sir. Now that you have attached yourself to our Shu Kingdom and the higher-ups have made arrangements, you should strictly abide by military discipline and not disobey military orders easily. Besides, my journey is extremely difficult. Your Excellency is a noble family, so you don't have to follow me and suffer this."

Now that things have come to this, even if Sun Shangxiang is not very sensible, she can still tell that Wang Yao is rejecting her. Her pretty face immediately lost its smile: "Why do I feel like you are actually disliking me?"

"I dare not." Wang Yao lowered his head and said with shame, "But the bottom lane still needs your support. Think about it. If you leave the line and cause the bottom lane to collapse, won't the top management blame me? Please don't embarrass me, sir."

".It seems that what you said is right." It seemed that Wang Yao's concerns were not unreasonable. Although Sun Shangxiang was a little depressed, she didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang had no intention of forcing herself to follow, Wang Yao heaved a sigh of relief: "The military situation is urgent, and I have something important to do, so I will go ahead."

After saying that, he led Zhao Yun and went into the vast wild area without looking back.
