(82) Provocation
Before the fifth watch, Qinglan hurriedly went to Jinghua's camp.
Changning was guarding outside the tent, looking a little embarrassed, "Is the general in a hurry?" Your Highness, he ...... Just stopped. β
Qinglan's face was solemn, "If it wasn't for the urgency, I wouldn't bother late at night." β
"Changning, let him in. Jing Hua's voice came from inside the tent, low and tired.
Qinglan nodded slightly to Changning and walked in. There were several thick files on the table, and Jinghua sat up with his clothes on, and said briefly: "What's wrong?"
"Dead!"
A total of seven people died, all of whom were parked in the tents of the Chinese army. Jinghua immediately went over with Qinglan, Tian Meng, Kuai Fang and Shi Er had also arrived, and when they saw Jinghua, they all hugged their fists and saluted.
Jinghua nodded, clenched his fists and coughed lightly, "When did you find out?"
Shi Er said: "When the guard was changed in the morning, these were all on duty in the previous shift, and when the brothers who changed shifts went, they found that they had died silently. β
Jinghua frowned and said in a low voice, "Open it and let me see." β
Kuai Fang lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and said, "The corpse is very hideous, it can be seen that the other party is ...... Vicious. β
When a few people had just died, the corpses were still soft, and when the white cloth was lifted, there was a thick bloody gas. Jinghua has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has long been surprised, and he does not shy away from it, and he carefully checks them one by one.
This wound is indeed hideous, not like a knife wound, not like a sword wound, it is all four blood marks, each blood mark is equal to the distance, the wound is very deep, and the flesh around it is turned up, which shows the white bones of the forest.
The wounds of the seven people were basically the same, all of them were four blood marks, some on the chest and some on the back, all of which were fatal with one blow.
"Qinglan, which ministry are these people in, and what are their positions?" Jinghua finally asked.
"Except for one in the 'sheng' department, the rest of the three departments of 'heaven', 'one', and 'water' each account for two. Ren's positions are also high and low, the one on the far right is the highest, the deputy colonel, the lowest is the third on the left, the corporal, oh, and there is one without a military rank, who is a guy in General Kuai's department. β
When Jinghua stood up, he didn't seem to stand firmly, and stumbled back slightly, and Tian Meng hurriedly supported him. He waved his hand and said softly to himself: "The wounds are the same, which means that the same person started it." However, the identities of the deceased are different, which seems to indicate that the perpetrators did not have a clear purpose. β
The light was already slowly brightening, and the candles in the tent seemed redundant. Tian Meng and Qinglan glanced at each other, and there was deep sadness in their eyes. Tian Meng moved a stool and invited Jinghua to sit down, his tired color was so thick that he couldn't hide it, it was late autumn, but sweat dripped down his sideburns.
Jinghua didn't refuse, he sat down slowly in a chair, pinched his eyebrows hard, and tried his best to cheer up, "What do you think?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, he said to Shi Er again: "What does General Shi think this wound looks like?"
Shi Er said: "The last general was suspicious just now, but he is not sure, does His Highness also think it is like it?"
Jinghua nodded, "Like." β
Qinglan hurriedly said: "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing, what do you look like!"
Jinghua coughed a few more times and said softly, "Claw marks!"
Qinglan was surprised: "Claw marks......? The Yanlong army is only thousands of miles away from here, and I always thought that this incident was caused by a sneak attack by someone he sent to give us a dismount!"
"Your analysis is not right, it must be the Yanlong who rashly attacked at this time, but it is not said that among the Yanlong warriors, no one will have this kind of claw marks. Jinghua smiled reluctantly, "Qinglan, if you turn into a real body, how do the claw marks left compare to this?"
Qinglan was a little unnatural, and said in a deep voice: "It's much bigger than this." β
Jinghua didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, nodded and continued, "If you want me to turn into a real body, it's much bigger than this. But the general Yanlong's physique will only be larger than that of the Yinlong and Canglong. If the Yanlong attacked in the middle of the night, it would not be possible to be so silent. So...... What is certain is that this person's real body is not a dragon, or rather, it is not a pure bloodline Yanlong clan. β
Qing Lan's eyes lit up, "Yes! This person is the right-hand man of the Jiang thief, but he is not a real dragon clan! So, isn't it the work of those thieves surnamed Jiang?"
Jinghua was noncommittal, "It's too early to make this conclusion. He turned to look at Kuai Fang and smiled: "General Kuai, you are a woman, and you are more careful than them." Do you think that among the few people who died, it seems random, but what clues can be followed?"
Kuai Fang seemed to hesitate, but he still spoke, stammering more than usual, "The end ...... The last general thinks that this ...... All seven of them are young and ...... Not bad. β
The other three male generals can't help but laugh, Kuaifang is tall and big, usually gets along day and night, and never treats her as a woman, but I didn't expect that after all, men and women are different, and on a pile of corpses, they can still distinguish whether they are handsome or not.
Jinghua's tense expression finally showed a smile, "I said that female generals still have the benefits of female generals, and General Kuai is very careful about this." β
He slowly stood up with his chair back, and said in a cold voice, "He killed seven people, justβto kill me." β
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a chill in the air. A soft mist rose from the nameless forest on the edge of the clouds, and the mountains were smeared with a soft milky white. Occasionally, a bird or two passed by, frightened and fled in panic, leaving behind a mournful wail or two that broke the silence of the morning.
Five hundred miles to the west, through the mist, the camp of the Celestial Clan army was still faintly visible.
There were tall yew trees and clematis trees everywhere, and Jiang Tieyi stood on one of the pine trees, folded his wings, and stood quietly. If you don't look closely, you almost become one with this dense forest.
Last night, he sneaked into the Celestial Clan's camp alone, and he wanted to find the Xuanyuan Jinghua who was rumored to be a god, and meet him alone.
His mother was a Vulture and a legendary immortal bird, and he was born with a pair of wings that would not disappear even when he took on a human form. This pair of wings made him more valued among all his brothers, and his father had high hopes for him since he was a child, and even invited a master for him alone to train him in fighting and fighting.
This kind of treatment has never been given, they Yanlong was born to be martial, but they will not specially invite a master to teach like other royal families, even if it is a prince. All martial arts and fighting skills are nothing more than honing oneself in the harsh survival Shura field, eliminating or evolving in the jungle.
Even food and clothing are a problem in the first place, let alone something completely impractical like asking a teacher. Throughout the country, for thousands of years, no one has been treated like this, including his older brothers and brothers. It made him feel even more special.
His special lies in the pair of wings behind him, which is regarded as a treasure second only to Yinlong Wing in the country, and he is also known as the "First Samurai of Yanlong". He was so grateful to his mother, who flew away shortly after giving birth. But it is precisely because of her that she has enjoyed this honor.
Their Yanlong soldiers are strong and fierce, and the whole country is fierce, and ordinary Yinlong or Canglong, two or three of them can be easily killed. My father has always been reluctant to send troops, just because he was afraid of two things, one was Yinlongyi, and the other was Xuanyuan Jinghua.
These two pieces, in fact, Jiang Tieyi doesn't believe in them.
Yinlongyi is a legend of ancient times, except for the gods left behind by Kuafu, almost no one has seen it with their own eyes. Even if it really exists, who can say how much divine power is left. What's more, it has now been confirmed that Xuanyuan Xuan's Yinlong Wing is completely nothing.
The only thing left now is Xuanyuan Jinghua.
Before the news came out that he was seriously injured and forced to leave the military department, Jiang Tieyi was still a little disappointed. He has always been unconvinced by that person, he is just an ordinary Yinlong, and he does not have three heads and six arms, why does his father sit on pins and needles and have trouble sleeping?
Could it be that in the eyes of his father, he, the "No. 1 Warrior of Yanlong", is not qualified to fight against him? Even if he doesn't succeed, they still have five brothers, and they can't add up to a weak Xuanyuan Jinghua?
Later, I heard that he was back again, and immediately after he returned, he took command of the expedition. This news really shocked Jiang Chiyu, but the more his father looked like he was facing a great enemy, the more he hated him. Especially before he left, Jiang Chiyu deliberately took care of the sentence "Don't do anything with him", which made him even more angry!
After another day, the camp tent of the Celestial Clan remained intact, and the 200,000-strong army seemed exhausted after three days of rapid marching, and did not look like they wanted to continue their march.
After all, it was Yinlong, who was used to being pampered, and Jiang Tieyi's lips flashed a cruel sneer. With such physical strength, how can he be worthy of fighting with my Yanlong warriors? Father is really old, and his courage is getting smaller and smaller.
Tonight, he is going to kill Xuanyuan Jinghua! Let everyone in the Three Realms see who is the god of war worthy of everyone's worship! Let his father Mo hesitate, among the six brothers, see which is the son who is truly resolute and worthy of his throne!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night fell again.
Jiang Tieyi hid all the three hundred flying horsemen in the forest and flew to the Celestial Clan camp alone.
He had come last night and killed seven people. He didn't know Xuanyuan Jinghua, but when he heard from his eldest brother, he was very young and handsome, so he killed all the young and handsome people he met yesterday. He is not afraid of startling snakes, what he wants is that the other party knows and is a clear provocation!
But after all, he was in the enemy camp, and he didn't dare to be too arrogant, he turned into his real body, sneaked up from the air, and flew away immediately after a blow. Fortunately, he is like his mother, and his real body is not a huge flame dragon, but a petite immortal bird, which is much more convenient.
Jiang Tieyi hovered silently in the air, the death of the seven people did not seem to have caused much deterrence to Xuanyuan Jinghua, tonight was even quieter than last night, and even the number of guards was reduced. There was a faint snoring of soldiers all around, and several bonfires were about to be extinguished.
