Chapter XVII: The Beginning of Armageddon

Unlike Gongzijun, he is more concerned about the consequences of successive assassinations. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info be white, but he cares more about the identity of the assassin.

If Zhan Bai is still worried about the four things in his heart now, then it is the demon clone who has been missing for a long time.

The assassin first pretended to be a concubine to assassinate Gongzi Xiao, and then used the latter's identity to assassinate the king of Chu, which had to make Zhanbai pity his demon body.

Zhan Bai knew from the beginning that the disappearance of the demon clone must be inseparable from Bodhi. And Bodhi will never hide the demon clone snow and not use it. Coupled with the treacherous situation of the Spring and Autumn Continent, who dares to say that it will not be placed here.

Could that assassin be a doppelganger of his own demon?

Zhan Bai wasn't sure, after all, there was more than one person in this world who cultivated the Seventy-Two Dao Transformation Methods.

At this time, what worries Zhanbai even more is the conspiracy that may be hidden behind this assassination case.

Prior to this, along with Zhanbai and Gongzijun, they all agreed that the mastermind behind this assassination must be Gongzitian. just calmed down, but Zhanbai didn't know why, he always felt that there seemed to be an invisible net behind it, and what he had to deal with was not Gongzijun, but himself.

This is an intuition that has no reason to talk about, but when it comes to Zhanbai's current cultivation state, he can't laugh at it.

The so-called knowledge of the destiny of heaven, in the mundane world, generally refers to the fact that after people reach a certain age, they can vaguely feel the geometry of the limit. But in the world of cultivation, it's definitely not that simple. This kind of knowledge of the destiny of heaven may not exist in the level of cultivation, and it doesn't matter what great exercises have been practiced, or even the mysteries and mysteries cannot be explained at all, but it is a real existence. It's a bit of a gut feeling, but it's more ignorant, but it's extremely accurate.

"Could it be that someone is targeting me?" Zhan Bai muttered to himself.

But who could it be? And why?

In the face of these two questions, it is not that Zhanbai cannot find the answers, but that there are too many answers and it is impossible to determine them at all.

If Zhanbai is just Zhanbai, this question may be difficult to answer, but don't forget, he is still the incarnation of Fuxi and Haotian.

Since Taihao and the others can know about the existence of Zhanbai, they must not be able to hide more people, especially the so-called "Great God Emperor" who is in the same class as him.

As a chess piece, the saddest thing is not to be used by others, but to be used in vain, but not to know who the chess player is.

couldn't imagine the unguessable Zhanbai, and in the end he could only look up to the sky and sigh. And this is why he is now trying so hard to attach to Gongzi Jun.

On the surface, it seems that it is for the Sword Pavilion and to gain a place in the Spring and Autumn Continent, but in fact, it is more to show himself. Gongzi Jun's status may be good in the Chu State, but when he looks at the Spring and Autumn Continent, he is unknown to everyone, but he is an opportunity for Zhan Bai to pry the entire chess game.

When Gongzi Jun became the king of Chu and even had the strength to sweep away and unify the world, Zhanbai also had the strength to compete with those who thought they were "chess players".

……

For a month, in just one month, no one thought that the state of Chu, which was originally considered a country and a peaceful country, immediately came to the brink of war.

The news of the assassination of King Chu and Gongzixiao first spread among officials in various parts of Chu State, and before they could secretly send someone to Danyang to confirm it, it was completely leaked to the ears of the people of Pingming and was passed on by word of mouth.

It turns out that it is always easy to separate different versions of anything, especially militaristic events, once it is disseminated by the people.

As far as the assassination of King Chu and Gongzi Xiao is concerned, various interpretations began to be passed on by word of mouth among the people, and they were like sparks burning the prairies.

In some versions, it is said that all this is a good play directed by Nagongzi Tian, who loves to kill his father and brother in order to clear his way to becoming a king. This version is the most widely circulated, just because the rhetoric is clear and even corroborated, such as ...... Gongzitian has proclaimed himself regent, for example, he tried his best to block this shocking news to isolate the audition, etc.

There are also versions that point the black finger behind the scenes to Gongzi Jun who is far away in Yingcheng, and the reason is more tortuous, just because of this, Gongzi Jun not only clears the obstacle to the upper position, but also blames Gongzitian who is in the center of the whirlpool, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, as for the so-called King of Chu and his son Gongzi Xiao who were jealous because of the peerless beauty Yan Feiyu, and finally evolved into the same end, it also exists, but it is more just to cater to people's fun of talking before and after tea.

Although there are many different versions, if you summarize it, it is not difficult to find that most of them have focused on Gongzitian and Gongzijun.

It is precisely because of this that in such a short period of time, Gongzi Jun, who was originally not famous because he was far away from people's sight, immediately became a household name, and was also pushed to the height of being qualified to compete with Gongzi Tian for the throne.

For these series of changes, the most inexplicable one is undoubtedly Gongzitian in Danyang.

For this reason, he was angry in front of his subordinates more than once, threatening to crush all the rumor-mongers. It's a pity that even if he has proclaimed himself regent and is powerful, how can he block the mouths of the people in this world.

With the spread of many rumors, the situation in the state of Chu has also changed dramatically.

In the entire political arena, all local officials with some rights began to speak out and stand in line, and the mediocre ones wanted to arrest the culprit as soon as possible to avenge the monarch and the prince, and some radical ones even directly pointed the finger at Gongzitian or Gongzijun, and then carried out some verbal and written criticism.

If politics is like this, it will inevitably have a great impact on the military.

Except for a very small number of elite troops stationed at the junction of Chu and Han and did not dare to act rashly, so as to let the Han State take advantage of the weakness, the small warlords in various places also began to move, and with their respective positions, they began to make extremely frequent military movements, gathering towards Danyang or Yingcheng.

It was only at this time that those who understood deeply realized the power of rumors.

The so-called Chu State, one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, was actually brought apart by rumors.

A big war, on the verge of breaking out.

Afraid of rumors, he finally failed to really sit on the throne, and could only reluctantly regard himself as the regent Gongzitian, at this time, he undoubtedly hated Gongzi Jun, sharpened his knife, and began to make complete preparations for the complete eradication of the last cancer.

On the other hand, Gongzi Jun was also very busy, sitting in the palace of the feudal king, greeting the civil and military officials under his command every day, and then righteously criticized his brother's disdainful behavior, and vaguely expressed the promotion of these officials who depended on him as the queen in the future.

Finally, after nearly half a year of integration between the two sides, the situation became cheerful.

Gongzi Tian, who sat in Danyang, controlled seventy percent of the civil officials of the Chu State and as many as sixty percent of the army except for the border army. On the other side, Gongzi Jun carved up the remaining forces.

Not only the military strength, but also in the land under control, Gongzitian also occupied a lot of advantages, and was finally divided by the Tianshui River, the largest in the territory of Chu State.

The south of the Tianshui River occupies seventy percent of the land of the Chu State for Gongzitian, and the north of the Tianshui River is dominated by Gongzijun.

The huge state of Chu was suddenly divided into two, but everyone understood that this division was temporary. Just wait for the two sides to accumulate strength, and the final decisive battle will surely break out.
