Chapter 286: This Matter Is Serious
"Your Highness said that the show must be extraordinary. Yuan Dekang smiled, although he didn't know what the good show Fang Ling was referring to, but seeing that he easily resolved the contradictions between the four families, he had long admired it, not to mention, whether it was him stabilizing the front-line war or recovering the four families, it would be very beneficial to his status in Dingzhou, and the two of them could be described as grasshoppers on the same line.
Fang Ling lowered his voice and said: "This king has received information that Ai Mingxuan, an important adviser under the king of Yizhou, is now assisting the western general of Yizhou is in Dingzhou. ”
"What? Is this serious?" Yuan Dekang was taken aback.
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "This king has no troops around him, so if you want to use the defenders of Dingzhou City to capture this guy, it depends on whether Lord Yuan is willing to go with this king?"
Yuan Dekang's heart was excited, Ai Mingxuan was one of the most important advisers under the king of Yizhou, his status was comparable to that of a general, if he took the defenders to catch him, it would be a big face, his fame soared, and he would definitely be rewarded by His Majesty, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty will listen to Your Highness's orders." ”
Fang Ling said with a smile: "Very good, then trouble Lord Yuan to gather 800 defenders, let's catch turtles in an urn." ”
Yuan Dekang laughed out loud, and said excitedly: "Xiaguan immediately went to transfer people." ”
That night, Fang Ling made a detailed plan, as soon as he heard that he wanted to arrest important people in Yizhou, and the number of the other party was only about a dozen, the officers and soldiers were eager to try, this disparity between the enemy and us was completely equivalent to an adult bullying half a child, and it was a matter of being caught.
However, the reason why Fang Ling mobilized so many people was because he knew the power of magic weapons, because he didn't have the opportunity to find out what magic weapons Yu Wu had besides the cornucopia, and since he was a mortal sect member of the Tiankui Sect, and his cultivation had reached the realm of Xingqi, it was only natural that he would refine a magic weapon.
Therefore, in order to make this capture foolproof, Fang Ling not only mobilized many people, but also made a heavy promise to capture any enemy alive and reward ten taels of gold, and if he can catch the head, he will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold.
What is the concept of 100 taels of gold, which can make a leap into a great fortune, and the officers and soldiers can't wait to set off.
Early the next morning, Fang Ling and Yuan Dekang, escorted by 20 guards, went all the way south along the official road and headed straight towards Qingzuka City.
In the afternoon of the same day, everyone passed through Gucheng and arrived at the Guiyan Mountain Road ten miles away from Gucheng in the evening.
The Ghost Rock Mountain Road is a winding mountain forest area, where the forest shadows are heavy, the terrain is high and low, and at night it is like a ghost shadow, which is very thrilling.
However, in addition to the ghost rock mountain road, the surrounding hundreds of miles are open land, and there is a county town on the periphery, so although the terrain is more treacherous, no bandits dare to rob here, after all, the most critical problem after the robbery is to be able to leave alive, but it is not so easy to leave after grabbing things here, and it is estimated that the defenders of the county town have caught up before they have run out of a hundred miles.
Therefore, as a quick place to go south to Qingzuka City, it is still very safe in the eyes of Dingzhou people.
At this time, the sun was about to go down, and the glow stained half of the sky red, Fang Ling and the others seemed to be in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the mountain road, they galloped on their horses, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Halfway through the trail, a thick tree with a thick bowl mouth rose in front of me, blocking the way.
Fang Ling signaled, and the two guards jumped off their horses and lifted the big tree, and just after the big tree was thrown back into the roadside jungle, Ai Mingxuan and his party appeared on the avenue.
Ai Mingxuan swaggered out of the jungle, brushing his sleeves and robes as he walked, with an unfathomable smile on his face.
The four guards at the peak of the Qi Melting Realm followed closely behind him, and there was also a bit of arrogance on their solemn faces.
Coming out of the jungle on one side were Yu Wu and the others, Yu Wu was wearing a navy blue robe, with a cloak covering most of his face, and he could only see those gloomy eyes when he raised his head slightly.
The eldest apprentice, Xu Wen, followed him with a square wooden box on his back, and the other disciples were even more proud, with their chins raised high, like a killing god who ruled life and death.
Yuan Dekang and the others had already been ordered by Fang Ling, in order not to be discovered by Yu Wu and others, so the eight hundred defenders were stationed at the foot of the mountain outside the Guiyan Mountain Road, where there was a hidden valley, which was provided by a local born in Gucheng among the defenders.
With this place, after the defenders arrived here, they sent a small force to monitor Yu Wu and the others from afar, and the distance was thousands of zhang away, so they would not be discovered, but it would take a little time to gather a team to surround them, and the task of buying time naturally fell to Fang Ling and the others.
Yuan Dekang pretended to be surprised, and with a wave of his hand, the twenty guards drew their swords one after another, and he roared majestically: "Who dares to stand in the way of His Royal Highness the King of Shicheng and Ben Thorn Shi?"
Ai Mingxuan casually swept over a few people, looked at Yuan Dekang for a while, and then fell on Fang Ling, and said with a leisurely smile: "Your Highness and I have had a few encounters with Yizhou Wangcheng, I don't know if you still remember it?"
Fang Ling frowned slightly, and deliberately flashed a hint of surprise and said, "Are you ...... Lord Ai, a strategist under the king of Yizhou. ”
Ai Mingxuan laughed and said, "Your Highness can remember, it's really an honor to be here, but Your Highness didn't expect us to meet on such an occasion, right?"
Fang Ling smiled faintly, and Yuan Dekang roared: "The surname is Ai, you are so bold to sneak into my Dingzhou land, you really don't want to live!"
Ai Mingxuan laughed insolently, glanced at Yuan Dekang and said: "It seems that this should be Lord Yuan of Dingzhou Assassin History, His Royal Highness rushed to Dingzhou City in such a hurry, and rushed to Qingzuka City with Lord Yuan, it seems that he was anxious to unite the four major clans." Speaking of this, he sighed, "It's just that Your Highness, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Qingzuka City." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "What, Lord Ai just wants to catch this king with these few people?"
Ai Mingxuan smiled evilly, pointed at Yu Wu and said, "I know His Highness's ability, and Han Daxian died in the hands of His Highness." But Your Highness, that Han Daxian is just a liar pretending to be a ghost, and this Yu Daxian beside him is a genuine immortal!"
Yuan Dekang was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "The people in the Xianmen, surnamed Ai, I think you are also quite good at pretending to be ghosts, do you think we will believe it in this way?"
Fang Ling also laughed, and all the guards immediately laughed out loud, no one believed that this Yu Wu was a great immortal or something, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get in touch with the immortal of the bone immortal wind, but it seemed to be a demon crawling out of hell.
Ai Mingxuan snorted heavily: "Laugh, I want to see how long you can laugh?"
Fang Ling sneered and said, "Lord Ai, if this Yu Daxian is really from the Immortal Sect, then there should be some magic weapons or something, do you want to take it out to open our eyes?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Wu's eyes, and he said gloomily: "King Shicheng, since you want to see it, then this immortal will show you an understanding." With that, he beckoned, and the eldest apprentice Xu Wen put the box on the ground, opened it and took out the cornucopia.
Yu Wu held the cornucopia in one hand, standing proudly, his eyes were full of contempt, and he seemed to have the power of life and death for everyone in front of him.
At first glance, seeing this cornucopia of terrifying shapes, Yuan Dekang and the others were also secretly startled.
Of course, Fang Ling did not reveal the magic weapon, after all, as soon as the Xianmen disciples said this, it would seriously affect their morale, and he said lightly: "Lord Yuan, then let's take a good look at this Yu Daxian's performance, this is more than going to a show, and you don't even have to pay the silver." ”
Seeing Fang Ling's repeated ridicule, even Yu Wu, who had been cultivating for twenty years, couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he squeezed out a few words from his mouth and said, "I don't know what is dead or alive!" and then stretched out his hand and flicked it towards the cornucopia.
Between the flickers, the skull fire on the cornucopia was motionless, and there was no sign of disappearing, and Fang Ling and the others did not turn into stone.
Yu Wu frowned slightly, and he was a little confused, he hurriedly recited the mantra, stretched out his hand and brushed it on the basin again, however, the skeleton ghost fire seemed to be embedded in the skull, and it didn't move at all.
Ai Mingxuan and the others were all holding their arms and sneering, mocking the King of Shicheng for not knowing what to do when he was dying, but when they saw Yu Wu flicking the magic weapon three times and twice, Fang Ling and the others sat on their horses well, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.
Ai Mingxuan couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Wu didn't know how to answer him, this cornucopia was obviously repaired, and a large number of dead souls were stored, how could it not be effective?
Yuan Dekang and the others were still a little nervous at first, but when they saw the situation, they couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Fang Ling's eardrums heard the sound of the surrounding forest shadows flickering, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, knowing that the eight hundred defenders had finally arrived, he raised his voice and said: "Lord Ai, I forgot to tell you, this king went to the gold mine a few days ago, and happened to hear your discussions, so when this king left, he kindly destroyed this cornucopia, so Yu Daxian, no matter how much you toss, it will not work anymore." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ai Mingxuan and the others' faces changed suddenly, and they couldn't believe it for a while, Ai Mingxuan's mouth opened into a duck egg shape, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "What?"
Fang Ling looked at his expression with interest, and said with a smile: "You heard it right, this king still remembers that Yu Daxian and Lord Ai drank a good pot of wine, and also revealed a lot of confidential news to this king, although this king has no habit of eavesdropping, but Lord Ai, you kindly told me, and this king is embarrassed to refuse." ”
What Fang Ling said was definitely a secret in secret, if he hadn't been to the gold mine, he would definitely not know about these things, Ai Mingxuan remembered that when he was talking and acting in the gold mine, there was actually a Shicheng King hidden next to him, and he was angry for a while, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
