Chapter 396: The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky
Lord Xu said seriously. Gu Nan said with a smile.
"The second son is both wise and brave, and he is a good general. To be honest, a certain pair of second sons are also very fond of it. ”
"It's not a secret, I also had contact with the second son once in private. It's just that as Lord Xu said, the second son is upright, and he is indeed not a person who can move. ”
"Oh, Lord Gu has also had contact with the dog?" Xu Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said seemingly casually.
"Hehe, Lord Xu is not strange, he is really very fascinated, so he went to see the second son without permission, and I hope that the adults will not blame. Gu Nan said, got up slightly, and made a gesture.
"It doesn't matter, let's talk about the next thing. Xu Zhuo waved his hand, "The messenger of the Immortal Palace is nearby, but there are soundproofing prohibitions set by me personally in this house, and they can't hear it." ”
Among the envoy teams sent by Immortal Palace Mountain this time, the one with the highest cultivation level was only a third-level immortal king.
Although in the south, he can be regarded as a master.
But in front of Xu Zhuo's ninth-level immortal king, it was still not enough to see.
"During this period of time, most of the sects in Yuezhou City that disobeyed the Xu family have already surrendered to the law. It's just Lord Xu, you want to deal with the second son, this is ...... It always feels a little wrong. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that. Xu Zhuo said, "The overall situation is imminent, and I will not allow any different voices to appear in Yuezhou City." Master Gu, you can do it in advance, are you sure?"
Gu Nan looked a little embarrassed, of course this was pretended.
"There is a grasp of nature. That being the case, then so-and-so will go down and arrange. Please wait for the good news. ”
"Lord Gu is tired, Xu is inconvenient to send him, and please ask Lord Gu to take care of himself. ”
Gu Nan left, and Xu Zhuo was left alone in the study.
Xu Zhuo leaned back in his chair, his originally mottled hair had become much paler in the past few days, and he didn't have the heart to read the books on the table anymore at the moment.
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen......"
......
It was late at night, but Xu Yu, who was in the Xicheng military camp, was still dealing with daily military affairs.
His state is not very good, and a conversation with Wu Wen during the day directly collapsed his psychology.
The Xu family colluded with the Demon Realm, in fact, he had already noticed it.
The last time Gu Nan came to him, although he said it very vaguely, he didn't fail to hear Gu Nan's meaning between the lines.
It's just that at first, he thought that Gu Nan was saying that the Xu family wanted to rebel against the Immortal Palace and stand on its own.
But I didn't dare to think that it was the Xu family who wanted to overthrow the rule of the Immortal Palace and become the new master of this land.
For a person like Xu Yu, this is undoubtedly a big rebellion.
He never believed in his heart that his father and brother would do this.
However, Wu Wen's visit completely shattered this last trace of thought.
"Commander Xu, why don't you rest?"
Yan Nanming came from outside the door, the military affairs that the master needed to do had been completed, and he was very idle now.
Seeing Yan Nanming coming, Xu Yu put the pen in his hand to the side and exhaled a long breath.
"Brother Yan, how should I deal with myself now?"
Yan Nanming picked up a chair and sat down by himself, reaching out to comb his gray hair.
"Do what you want, ask yourself. ”
"On the one hand, there is righteousness, and on the other hand, it is difficult for me to choose. ”
Yan Nanming glanced at Xu Yu, and said in his heart that Chu Ke had never been soft when he beat his wife, that is, he was a little hesitant at the last moment.
Xu Yu, your mentality is not good, you don't have the tenacity of my brother.
"Brother Xu, let me ask you, in your heart, is this immortal palace the rule of orthodoxy?"
"Of course. ”
"Since it is orthodox, if someone wants to oppose him, is it a rebel and a thief?"
"Of course, but ......"
"There's nothing good about it. Yan Nanming shook his head, "Love or responsibility, you already have the answer." ”
Xu Yusheng swallowed back the second half of his words, but he knew the taste and sweetness.
"Brother Xu, do you know what you should do now?" Yan Nanming suddenly asked.
"Do what?"
"It's to go and make an attitude with the Emissary of Asgard. Yan Nanming said, "Your brother and your father are going to do a big thing, do you think you pretend not to know anything and there will be nothing? ”
Xu Yu really wants to explain the reason, I understand it, but it's not so easy to do.
Yan Nanming didn't give Xu Yu room and continued.
"Why did Wu Wen come to you? First, I want to confirm whether the Xu family has all defected and turned towards the Demon Realm. The second is to hope that if you haven't defected yet, they want to use your influence in Yuezhou to become a banner in their hands, do you understand?"
"With your flag, it's a lot easier for Asgard to do anything. If they don't have your flag, of course they can do it, but it takes more effort. ”
"And those people in Asgard, in my opinion, definitely don't want to do this extra bit of effort. This can be seen from the fact that they have the evidence of the Xu family's rebellion and asked Wu Wen to come to you. Now that things are so obvious, Brother Xu, do you still have to hesitate?"
Yan Nanming analyzed the pros and cons and scored three points.
Xu Yu was silent, but the look in his eyes showed that he had already made a decision in his heart.
"Brother Yan, thank you for making up your mind for me. Xu Yu raised his head and smiled at Yan Nanming.
"Brother Xu is polite, it would be nice if I could increase my salary a little more in the future. Yan Nanming smiled, and waved his hand again and again to say that it had nothing to do with him, "This matter should not be too late, let's meet with the envoys of the Immortal Palace early tomorrow morning." ”
"It's natural. Xu Yu nodded.
As soon as Xu Yu's words fell, he only heard a soldier's call from outside the door.
"There are assassins!"
Immediately after, there was a scream of pain.
Yan Nanming and Xu Yu glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of shock.
"What's going on!"
Xu Yu rushed out of the room, only to see the torches in the barracks at this time held high, illuminating the entire training ground in the center.
A group of soldiers with ordnance in their hands were hurriedly and methodically assembled into a line, rushing in different directions.
"Commander Qiqi, a group of unknown people have appeared in the barracks, and they have just killed a few brothers. ”
A soldier walked quickly to Xu Yu's side and told Xu Yu about the situation.
"Gather your army and capture the strongmen!"
Xu Yu had already seen it at this time, and there were several guys in pitch black in the training ground, holding various blades, fighting against the Xicheng Army.
The soldiers of the Xicheng Army were not slow to assemble, but with the skills shown by those guys, it was not at all something that a single soldier could resist.
In this short period of time, many soldiers died under the men in black.
"It's from the Demon Realm!"
Yan Nanming stood beside Xu Yu, frowning at everything that happened in front of him.
"It's so daring! These guys dare to ride on my head and go wild!"
Yan Nanming saw Xu Yu's face, and it was rare for him to have such a bright expression.
The last time Xu Yu was so angry was the time Gu Nan came a month ago.
At that moment, Xu Yu drew his sword in anger, wanting to join the chaotic battle in front of him.
But as soon as Xu Yu wanted to move, he was stopped by Yan Nanming.
It's not that Yan Nanming is thinking about the safety of the main general of the first army, but that Xu Yu is such a top master in the Xicheng army.
If he left his side, what would those Demon Killers do if they found him?
As far as his own cultivation is concerned, where is it enough for others to cut it with one slash.
But fortunately, the Xicheng Army has always been well-trained.
Although the incident occurred suddenly, after paying a few casualties, the army quickly assembled into a queue.
It has become very difficult for those Demon Realm Killers to inflict casualties on the soldiers of the Xicheng Army now.
Even, there were a few Demon Realm killers with weak cultivation who rushed to a team of twenty people alone.
was actually stabbed by the spears of the twenty soldiers and beaten back.
The Demon Killer was visibly shocked, and without looking back, he went to find a team with fewer people as a target.
"Brother Yan, what do you say is the situation?"
Xu Yu put away his saber and suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.
Yan Nanming was stunned: "Huh?"
"These guys used to pick those sects. Although the strength of those sects is not bad, the number of top masters far exceeds that of our Xicheng Army. ”
"However, no matter in terms of numbers or the frontal combat effectiveness that can be displayed, those sects will not be opponents of the army at all. ”
"In this case, these people from the Demon Realm still dare to provoke my Xicheng Army, are they all crazy?"
Hearing Xu Yu say this, Yan Nanming couldn't help but think deeply.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
This group of demon killers who have always committed crimes silently have changed their sexuality today and actually picked the army to attack, which is absolutely abnormal.
"What the Commander said is extremely true, there must be demons when things go wrong, and these guys must not be as simple as they seem. Yan Nanming said, "Commander, is there anything special about the Xicheng Army?"
"Special? No, the Xicheng Army is just an army in Yuezhou City, and there has never been anything special. Xu Yu said.
"Nothing special?" Yan Nanming touched his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.
Without waiting for Yan Nanming to finish thinking, he exclaimed, pulling him back to reality from his thinking.
"Protect your lordship!"
Several guards beside Yan Nanming and Xu Yu drew their waist knives and spears one after another, blocking the two of them behind them.
Where their blades pointed, they were above the multitude.
Yan Nanming looked up and saw a man in black jumping high and stepping into the air.
The cold light on the large knife in his hand seemed to be able to hear the sound of the knife breaking through the air.
"Xu Yu, come here!"
The man in black made a strange sound and slashed with a knife in his hand.
Each of the guards burst out with aura, trying to stop that person together.
These guards around Xu Yu are all the best in the Xicheng army.
The one with the highest cultivation has also reached the peak of the ninth-level Heavenly Immortal.
These people are combined, and theoretically, even if Xu Yu personally confronts them, it will take some means to win.
The few Demon Killers in the training ground seem to be in good shape.
But if you encounter these guards, I'm afraid that the victory and defeat can only be maintained within five or five.
However, the strength of this man in black is obviously different from others.
A joint blow from several guards, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
It's just a knife, a knife that seems to be ordinary without a trace of tricks.
In an instant, several guards were all knocked down and flew upside down.
The blood spat out of his mouth drew a long red line in the air.
In the next second, almost at the same time as several guards were knocked away, the saber on Xu Yu's waist was pulled out with a bang.
The sound of the blade unsheathed echoed throughout the nearby space.
"Huh?"
The black-clothed man's eyes suddenly struck, and the knife that was originally slashed from top to bottom was forced back to his chest by him.
Then, as if he had been hit by something, the man in black fell out of mid-air.
When he landed, his feet were still on the ground and he was able to count the points narrowly, which stabilized his body.
"Good swordsmanship!"
As a great expert in using swords, Yan Nanming naturally saw the clues.
Xu Yu's simple sword just now was actually a sonic attack move.
Use sound waves to infuse immortal power into it to form a special attack.
The man in black was forced back by Xu Yu's move to draw his sword.
"Good swordsmanship, worthy of being the second son of the Xu family!"
After the man landed, he quickly adjusted his internal breath, looked at Xu Yu and praised him.
"You know who I am, and you know what this place is. Then what are you doing here with people and horses? Looking for death? Gu Nan!"
As soon as Gu Nan said the word, the man in black was obviously stunned. But then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha!"
The man in black laughed, then ripped the mask off his face, revealing his true colors.
"The second son is worthy of being a hero among people, and he immediately saw through these carving insect skills. ”
Gu Nan, who revealed his true face, still had no scruples.
He stood with a knife in his hand and stood opposite Xu Yu.
Even though he was surrounded by several teams of Xicheng Army soldiers, there was not the slightest fear on his face.
"Gu Nan, you are so bold!" Xu Yu said coldly, "Everything in Yuezhou City is what you did, right?"
"Yes, but the second son only knows now that it's still a little late. Gu Nan showed a look of regret.
"It's best if you admit it, I'm going to bring you to justice today!
As soon as the words fell, the blade of the sword in Xu Yu's hand turned, and a fierce aura erupted.
Xu Yu held a sharp sword, and his figure seemed to be fleeing into the wind.
I saw that others turned into phantoms, flashing in the air several times in a row, and then rushed in front of Gu Nan.
"Look at the sword!"
Xu Yu shouted angrily, as loud as the thunder of the Nine Heavens.
The sharp sword in his hand brought out a faint blue light and slashed towards Gu Nan.
Gu Nan faced Xu Yu's attack, his hand was not in a hurry, and the long knife turned strangely, touching the end of the sword.
Then, Gu Nan took advantage of this force, and with a little foot, the person took a step back again.
But then one of Gu Nan's feet moved back and pressed against his body.
The big knife in his hand shook like water, and when he turned his hand, he turned into another offensive and slashed straight towards Xu Yu.
"Second son, pay attention!"
