In the twenty-sixth year of Daozhi, Dugu Hong wanted to go to the northern region and sent his henchman Zhao Yi to the Guirong Kingdom to contact Wang Zhijing. This person's original name was Dugu Realm, and he was one of the three princes sent out of the palace by the first emperor.

Dugu Realm has been secretly lurking in the enemy country for many years, and now the official residence Otsuka Zai is the head of the six officials, and the abbot is the selection and appointment and dismissal of officials below the third rank in the court, so the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they are in power in the ghost Rong country for a while.

If Emperor Daozhi raised his army to attack, he would follow the bloodbath and rebel.

Unexpectedly, when the incident was not secret, Yuanchang, the lord of the Ghost Rong Kingdom, received information from the Taichen Kingdom, and immediately became furious, and ordered someone to tie the Dugu Realm to the pillar and execute him by shooting ghost arrows. Zhao Yi took advantage of the chaos to escape, but encountered bandits while passing through Huaizhou and was eventually killed.

Pang Run, the local incorruptible inspector, was ordered to inspect Huaizhou, and secretly investigated the Qianzhao of the Blue Bird, saying that although Zhao Yi was dead, he had the documents of his own generals who collaborated with the enemy. The reason why Dugu Realm was tragically killed was because they thought that they had leaked their military information to the lord of the Ghost Rong Country. However, the matter is very wide-ranging, and the authenticity of the matter needs to be further ascertained.

However, Pang Run also died later, and the file in his hand disappeared. Such a coincidence, so strange. The emperor suspected that Teng Qi, who was guarding Huaizhou, had a heart of disobedience, so he made a king to explore his reality.

Three days later, Taichen Huaizhou.

The clear yellow light illuminates the bright pond water, and the glazed tiles on the eaves are dazzling. A young man dressed in a tulip robe with a flying fish pattern stepped into the general's mansion surrounded by his retinue on the left and right. His face was always shrouded in the shadow of the mask, and the two long locks of hair that fell over his forehead were undulating in the wind.

The middle-aged man in the golden fish scale armor immediately stepped forward slowly, and said in a loud voice: "In Xia Tengqiman, I have seen the king's envoy." ”

I saw that he was born with a strong physique and a bronze complexion, with a silver ring on the wing of his nose and red hair. This person is the famous left general Teng Qiman, who ranks second in the seventh sequence of Taichen, second only to the right general Ying Chengyin. After all, he is a battle-hardened figure, and there is always an unknown fierceness in his expression and eyebrows, which makes people feel awe of him.

However, the young man didn't care about this, and just replied calmly: "General Teng is a general of Zuo, why do you need to be so polite. ”

"I don't know what the king's envoy is doing this time?"

"It's just a messenger below, and I ask General Teng to kneel down and listen to the order. ”

After hearing this, Teng Qiman immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, looking solemn.

"When the weather is good, I am hereby ordered. Emperor Daozhi had an order, and Teng Qiman's jurisdiction over Huaizhou was ineffective, resulting in the courtiers Zhao Yi and Pang Run dying here one after another, and they were escorted back to China on the same day to be tried. Chin this. The young man was holding a decree with a dragon pattern on the edge, and said to him in a domineering manner: "General Teng, why don't you take the decree quickly?"

"The ministers followed His Majesty to drive the world, and there were few defeats in the army for more than 20 years, and they made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of Taichen Kingdom. Teng Qi smiled slightly, and slowly stood up. "Now that Qu is sitting in Zichen, he has trapped me in vain. Your Excellency Lao went back to Beijing and asked the emperor, do you still remember the arrow that was blocked by the minister in Baimapo during the Eclipse War?"

"Presumptuous! General Teng dares to speak disrespectfully, could it be that he wants to rebel?"

"So what? If the emperor is not benevolent, it will be difficult for the dynasty to revive. Now Dugu Hong is incompetent and incompetent, wantonly killing heroes, causing the countrymen to chill and the people to complain. Besides, I have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Huaizhou, why do I need to live under people for so long?"

Teng Qiman clapped his hands three times, and the ambush in the mansion was exhausted. Hundreds of halberd-wielding armor men outflanked them from all sides and lined them up.

"General Teng came prepared this time, presumably because he had already left his mind. It's also fitting that my bad luck is bad for such a chore. I also hope that the general will fall happily and leave a good name in history. ”

"Brother Xian's words are wrong. How could a foolish brother kill you?"

"What is General Teng doing?"

"The virtuous brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he is trapped by the current situation, so it is difficult to reach his ambitions. Teng Qiman persuaded him: "Why don't you rise up with me and use this to rectify the situation?"

"Brother Teng has been fighting in Huaizhou for many years, and there are 9,000 dead soldiers hidden in the mansion. With such a strong soldier and a strong horse, why should the general use me?"

"How do you know that there are dead people hiding here?"

"Where is the impermeable wall under this sky?" the young man paused, and then said, "As the saying goes, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, although his life is not valuable, he cannot be lost inexplicably. If you can't even hear this bit of news, how dare you come to your realm? ”

"I see. So what else do you know?"

"I also know that you instructed your subordinates to take care of people's lives, and the document of collaborating with the enemy on Pang Run's body is now hidden in this general's mansion. ”

"I'm getting more and more curious, who provided you with this information?" Teng Qiman's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and then disappeared in an instant. "Your Excellency is right, I did all these things. However, you don't know that Pang Run, the local incorruptible inspector, is not dead, and the document was not stolen by Zhao Yi from the Ghost Rong Kingdom. ”

"Could it be that Pang Run is already loyal to you?" The young man suddenly came to his senses, looked at Teng Qiman and said, "In this way, I'm afraid that even the matter of Your Majesty sending me to Huaizhou is also in your calculations. ”

"The virtuous brother is really clever, and everything can be understood at one point. Teng Qiman smiled and said, "I tried our best with Pang Run to put in such a good show, just to make the government and the opposition of this Taichen country turbulent. ”

"Your Majesty treats you well, why is this Brother Teng?"

"For it is the will of the Lord, and no one can disobey his commands. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven soil, only the sect leader of the Devouring Sect can be called the lord. Teng Qiman's eyes were filled with a fiery light, and then he said in a fanatical tone: "The powerful Taichen Kingdom will turn from prosperity to decline, and the feathers of the Northern Regions will roar the world. Only by following in the footsteps of the Lord can we stand firm in this troubled world. ”

"I didn't expect that the left general of my Taichen Kingdom would be a member of the sect devouring sect. The young man said, "It's just that it is rumored that the sect leader of the Devouring Sect has disappeared since the battle of Wuling Yuan. Now, more than a thousand years later, that man may have long since turned to white bones. You must know that on this Tianheng Star, except for the mountain spirits and sea monsters and ancient wood elixirs, no living creature can live for so many years. Even the longest-lived youkai are no exception. ”

"The sect master's cultivation is thorough, how can he be measured with common sense?" Teng Qi said suddenly: "As long as you are willing to bring the document of collaboration with the enemy into Beijing, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on." Not only will you be able to become a king and a general in the Ghost Rong Country, but you will also be able to take this opportunity to join the Devouring Sect. From now on, you can gallop between heaven and earth. ”

"It's not the right move. Even if I bring this document into the palace, Emperor Daozhi may not believe it. The young man suddenly said: "How can you steal the documents of collaboration with the enemy from the general's mansion and retreat from Huaizhou so easily? ”

"That's true. Therefore, the virtuous brother still needs to endure humiliation. Teng Qiman paused and said, "I will have someone execute you and imprison you in a dungeon." When Emperor Daozhi heard the news, he was bound to be furious, and he decided to raise a crusade against me.

"At that time, I will hide this document in the secret room, and then pretend to be defeated. And you take the soldiers who came to the rescue to the secret room, and finally dedicate it to the Emperor Daozhi.

"In this way, even if Your Majesty does not believe it and wantonly kills the rebel henchmen on the documents of collaborating with the enemy, they will not be reused in the future. And I will fight with the army of the Ghost Rong Kingdom and take the opportunity to seize the territory of the Taichen Kingdom.

"Life has been divided since ancient times, and every choice affects your destiny. Brother Xian is a very smart person, and naturally knows where to go. Do you want fame and fortune in the future, or do you want to die with that foolish loyalty?"

After a moment of silence, the young man slowly took off the yellow civet cat mask and said, "It's okay to say this matter to others, but as a nobleman, how can I fight in the same room and fight against my own world?"

"Are you ......" Teng Qiman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly recognized the identity of the other party, his expression was slightly shocked, and said: "Seven generals, Dugu Ye." ”

"It's down there. ”

"Didn't Emperor Daozhi appoint the eunuch Lian Yongnian as the king's envoy?

"If it weren't for Your Majesty's wisdom to temporarily withdraw your order and secretly order me to come to Huaizhou in this flying fish suit, how would you know that you, the old fox, would be the remnant of the Devouring Sect, and then there would be such calculations in your heart?" Dugu Ye threw the holy decree in his hand to the other party, and slightly restrained, and said, "Actually, Your Majesty did not give an order to take you. It's just that I didn't think that you would tell everything and everything. ”

Teng Qiman looked at the holy decree woven from brocade silk, and immediately laughed angrily. Originally, on the top of this holy decree, there should be the text of the seven demon clans of Taichen Kingdom. However, there is not a word on it.

"Now I finally know why Wang Yu died at your hands. However, he is only the lowest cultivation among the seven generals of Taichen, and I am the left general of Taichen Kingdom, how can you deal with it?"

"As the so-called three days of Shibei, it is more impressive. Dugu Ye pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "The Spring and Autumn Period has been easy for six years, is it possible that General Teng thinks that the cultivation below has not grown?"

"I'd like to see how capable you are of daring to speak so loudly. Teng Qiman immediately retreated slightly, and ordered the nearby armor soldiers: "Come, quickly take this person down for me." The one who beheads him will receive a reward of 10,000 taels and a thousand fiefs. ”

"Kill. ”

For a moment, those armor soldiers stepped forward and shouted in unison, and then brandished their halberds and stabbed at Teng Qiman. Fortunately, he was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the spear heads stabbed from behind, and scolded them angrily: "Bastard, can't you tell the difference between friend and foe?"

"General Zuo is really confused, do you think they look like dead soldiers in the house?" Dugu Ye immediately ordered: "Take off the masks on your faces, so that General Teng can take a look at you." Our soldiers and horses in Rinzhou have never been afraid of strong enemies, and the dead should be made to recognize your appearance. ”

I saw that the armorer who was the first to tear off the mask was a big man with tattoos on his face and powerful martial arts. This person's name is Wei Jiqian, and he is Dugu Ye's cronies and deputy generals. The armorers behind him were as pale and yellow as him, and the back of his right hand was also tattooed with the swastika of the Dark Demon Clan. They are all dark demons from Rinzhou, and now they are under the command of Dugu Ye.

Teng Qiman saw the appearance of this group of strangers, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart, and said: "No wonder you are so fearless, it turns out that you have planted so many monsters in my mansion." ”

"Didn't General Teng want to know who gave me the information?"

"Who is it?"

"That person is Pang Run. Although you threatened the lives of your wife and children, you forced Pang Run to work for you. However, he doesn't think you can do it. Dugu Ye explained: "Once you are defeated and killed, then what awaits him is the crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans."

"Therefore, Pang Run secretly revealed your guilt to the then royal envoy, that is, the eunuch Lian Yongnian, and got in touch with me through Lian Yongnian. If it weren't for his full assistance, how could my Dark Demon Rider sneak into the mansion without even noticing?"

"If you already know everything, why are you talking like this? Teng Qi snorted coldly and said, "Wouldn't it be much happier to capture me at night?"

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. In this world, there is no shortage of lies. Dugu Ye replied: "Sometimes I can't even believe myself, how can I trust others because of this? If that Pang Run is the fine work of the Ghost Rong Kingdom, wouldn't he kill Zhongliang by mistake?"

"It is worthy of being the leader of Taichenguo's generation, and his thinking and means are quite good. In you, I even saw the shadow of Dugu Hong when he was young. Teng Qiman urged the demon pill in his body, and the situation suddenly changed color. "You can't get out of here alive no matter what. ”

Teng Qiman's body gradually grew larger and rose with the wind, and a pair of pitch-black horns appeared on the top of his head, and finally the original form of the bull demon appeared in mid-air, making Dugu Ye frown slightly. Then, he slowly drew his sword from its sheath and calmly stepped forward.

The golden sword qi slashed through the dark sky, and the blade reflecting the sunlight appeared to shine.

The red hair on the bull demon's body was like flames, and its eyes were shining from the sword wound in its abdomen, and it shook in anger in the air.

The surging demonic aura wrapped the fiery red hair, and the sky behind it turned into a boundless bull demon. They had the head, chest, and abdomen of a human, and the body of a bison from the waist down.

I saw them holding double hammers in their hands, and Teng Qiman rushed from the black wind. For a moment, the sky trembled, as if it was going to crush this earthly world with that iron hoof.
