Chapter 265: The Source of the Conspiracy of the Rebellion
On the north side of the bay is the mountain of Yaojian, which is shrouded in mist all year round, especially when the morning and dusk are low every day, the gauze fog on the bay is thicker, so that the ships entering it are disoriented, so it is called.
You Xue stood on the top of Yaojian Mountain, looking down at this mysterious lake bay that was as round as the sun, there was a small island in the middle of the lake to the east, and those gorgeous boats that looked like painting boats were docked around, and there were about 20 of them.
This is the waterway of Shayao City, don't those sailors stationed nearby care?
Those poisonous fish can't be packed in these flashy boats, how do they transport them?
There was a rustling sound behind him, You Xue guessed who it was, turned around and staredβ
"Shangguan Rong, why are you following me? Or are you here to join the people below?"
Shangguan Rong, Ouyang Huo, and other men with unfamiliar faces were all gray-green short-fighting outfits at the moment, and Shangguan Rong was the leader, and he gave her a hand: "Girl, we were following you before, but we were lost on the outskirts of the city, and now we are ambushing here, trying to destroy those ships." β
"I believe that you are the Shangguan family of the Baili Clan, but before you explain the situation, I will not let you act rashly. You Xue held the Red Soul Sword in his hand and coldly glanced at the five people in front of him, and his anger grew.
Shangguan Rong knew that this woman couldn't prevaricate with lies, so he could only tell the truth: "Baili Fei used the nomadic tribal forces in northern Xinjiang to collude with the Jialuo Kingdom and help the Jialuo Kingdom to find a strange stone. β
Seeing You Xue holding the sword and staring at him silently waiting for him to follow, he didn't show any surprise, so he had to clear his throat and continue: "Although the country of Jialuo is rich and strong, it has dozens of powerful tribes that bow down to him, and the tributes are continuous.
However, since the drought catastrophe in the winter of the 27th year of the halberd lasted for four or five years, until the thirty-second year, the northern territory has gradually disappeared, the weather has become drier, large areas of forests have disappeared, and even many places have become deserts, the north of the palace of the king of Galo, the fire is gradually weakening, the trees are difficult to grow, the temple is buried by the wind and sand, and dozens of oases have also become the Gobi wilderness, so they want to migrate from the southeast to fight for the territory of the Gulan Kingdom. β
When You Xue heard this, she nodded slightly.
In this way, the turmoil seven years ago was clear, and the Garo Kingdom couldn't wait to obtain the secret treasure of the Emperor's Cave, so he wanted to use the Heavenly Thunder to split the Emperor's Tomb under the guise of Tianji Jade, thinking that even if he couldn't get the key, those ancient scrolls and ore vein drawings should be in the Emperor's Tomb, but in vain, and the loss of troops would make the Huoluo Sect become the public enemy of the Gulan Kingdom, and the Jin Ling Fairy also fell from the altar.
She put away her sword and stood with her arms folded as he waited.
"Since the mysterious Dove Spirit clan used the Fire Luo Sect to infiltrate the royal courts, and also collected all kinds of ancient scrolls of the Li Kingdom, thinking that the Li Kingdom has stood in the north of Xisha for thousands of years, all of them have been safe and sound, and have their own way of survival, so they finally found a strange stone legend, it is said that these stones were born in the fertile and humid soil of the land, many poisonous miasma ants and all kinds of carrion corpses silently condensed into black crystal, light as a feather, if you can find this strange stone to be transported to the Garo country, soaked in water, sprinkled on the green plants can make the dead wood spring, restore the past prosperity, change the land that is gradually drying up nowγ β
You Xue showed a cold and murderous smile, she was also surprised that her heart could still be unwavering, she said lightly: " Therefore, the arrival of the imperial court's western expeditionary army ruined their plans, after all, the rebellion of thousands of people can be solved quickly even if there is a lot of conspiracy, but the Jialuo country is now suspicious in the northern part of the country, and does not want to leak this conspiracy, so he sent Gao Pengyuan to the Beichen country in a roundabout way, promising them any benefits, and cooperating with Baili Fei, led by your Baili clan, did not hesitate to use the kraken to destroy this side of the water and soil, confusing the public, just to find the whereabouts of the strange stone as soon as possible and transport it back to the Jialuo country. β
That old general Gao must have also noticed something, so he was killed, and it is estimated that it should be this Gao Pengyuan who killed him.
How could the commander of an army who had experienced a hundred battles die so easily, and because of the suicide of Gao Pengfei in prison, the kingdom of Jialuo could still use the fine works scattered in the ancient land to pour some sewage on the king.
"Did the country of Jialuo promise Bailifei, and when the matter is completed, he will be crowned the king of the southwest?"
Shangguan Rong and the others were already stunned by her analysis, and they opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to say, she was right!
You Xue couldn't see the stupid appearance of a few people, so she couldn't help but use the Red Soul Sword against the mountain, and said coldly: "I want to know, is Baili Fei an idiot?"
"What?" Shangguan Rong regained his voice for a long time, and finally reacted, "You mean the Kraken?"
"If this monster from the Black Sea is a scourge of the waterway, without more than ten years of cleaning, this place will become a poisonous river and stagnant water! Is he a pig?" You Xue couldn't find an adjective anymore, forgive her for not scolding.
"The Dove Clan promised to settle the matter. β
"Heh... They just want to plunder the mineral sources here, and it is best if all the people here are dead, so that their affairs are not in the way! If it is not my race, their hearts will be different, they will not be so generous and merciful!"
Shangguan Rong finally looked solemn, "Please give the girl advice! What should we do?"
"Do you want to recapture the Baili Clan, or do you want to protect the people of the land and water?"
"Why choose, it's all my doing! I've waited too long for this day!"
β»β»β»
Liba City is located in the lower reaches of the Shahe River, backed by the Wanghai Ridge of the remaining veins of Yaojian Mountain, and bordered by Wuyue City in the south.
It is the third largest city in the southwest frontier, with stone-throwing tools on the towering city walls and strong crossbowmen on the siege towers ready to attack.
The surging and turbulent sand river rolls and white waves splash, and the enemy soldiers on the other side hunt with battle flags and morale.
The people in Liba City are all soldiers, holding sickles and axes in their hands, as well as spears, born in the border and growing up in the border city, brave and fearless are engraved in their bones, even eighty-year-old men live in crutches and stand by the city gate, watching the newly arrived black-armored soldiers and garrisons line up and transport weapons, food and grass.
However, I didn't see the clear-faced general Li Yan today, only King Guanxiang came to inspect the city wall from time to time.
In the backyard of the Duwei Mansion, Li Yan was pacing anxiously, Qiong Qi was sent to Liba City by the people of the Chili League early this morning, when Zhen Yunze found him, he was still on the city wall and the enemy army called a battle, I don't know why, they are just facing each other these days, and there is no longer a siege action, which is very strange.
And Qiong Qi has been unconscious, which makes him even more anxious.
At this time, a maid walked out, she put the clothes she had changed for Qiong Qi on her arm, and handed a slender paper scroll to Li Yan, "General, this fell out of the placket, please take a look." β
Li Yanhu glanced at her suspiciously, he took Qiong Qi's clothes, and was very unhappy that this maid dared to do anything to Qiong Qi's clothes, and waved her hand to let her go down.
He opened the roll paper and recognized You Xue's handwriting at a glance, this time it was written in ink, and it was still soft, "Aunt Qiong is fine, she will wake up in three or four days, and she needs to recuperate after internal injuries, Mi." β
He watched it several times before he breathed a sigh of relief, heard familiar footsteps in his ears, his eyebrows jumped, he quietly put the rolling paper into his palm, and looked back, it was Yunze.
"Is Aunt Joan better?"
Li Yan lowered his head and pretended to pat Qiong Qi's clothes, avoiding Zhen Yunze's concerned gaze, extremely conflicted in his heart, and finally nodded, "She has been running all the way to suffer for me, let her sleep well first, I have already ordered someone to invite the old doctor in the city." β
Zhen Yunze thought that he was worried about Qiong Qi, and he didn't care, "This king is going to investigate along the river bank later, and the city will work hard." β
"Okay, Lord Wang, be careful. β
In the dead of night, a dark shadow sneaked into Liba City and entered Li Yan's room, which was lit for half a night until it was finally extinguished on the eve of dawn.
When the black shadow left, Li Yan finally came back to his senses from the shocked state, this girl is really a demon, full of whimsical and meticulous scheming, if it is not his own person, it is really a dangerous existence.
He couldn't help but ask: "For such an important matter, why don't you just tell King Rui that he is now investigating along the river." β
You Xue didn't look back, she said coldly: "Uncle Li, the war is urgent, you already have a weakness, he can't have it anymore, let him think that I am safe and sound in the royal capital, rest assured, everything will be fine, I believe that evil will prevail over good!"
