Volume 2 Ember Chapter 50 Conspiracy

The wind swept up the yellow sand, carrying dust from the ground to fill the grassland, which had begun to fade. The grass here is beginning to dry and there is little tender pasture, the cold weather and the intermittent yellow sand and dust are unbearable, and there are few herders who come here to graze their cattle except because of the necessity of life.

The occasional animal carcass and the sloppy discarded and half-buried gange in the loess bear the traces of horseshoes in the rare rain-soaked loess. It shows that this place once was, a battlefield, a hard, protracted war.

Ning Ye slowly stepped onto a low hill, the scroll unfolded in his hand was tinged with an old yellowish color, and a crude and sketchy map was drawn on it in an extremely obscure way, if he didn't know much about this area, it would be extremely difficult to get out of this desert with this sketchy map alone. He slowly closed the scroll, and the hand that had held the knife for a long time had a thick callus, which was not difficult to see, and the thick calluses on the tiger's mouth and the palm of the finger were even more densely layered.

As far as the eye can see, there are no other animals left here except the endless sand dunes and broken grasslands. Ning Ye took a deep breath and took another step. The horses had died three days earlier in the fracture zone on the western side of the East Corridor Mountains, and it was inevitable that no horse could have traveled such a long way day and night without eating or drinking. There was no other plan, this time, he didn't tell any of his cronies the time, and King Wu's ears and eyes had already followed his footprints. He is already an old wolf, relying on the supply of horse meat and horse blood, and he has been working day and night for nearly ten days, which is almost unimaginable to ordinary people, but the wolf king always has a limit.

But then, his pace slowed down until he stopped completely. The faint neighing of horses came from behind his ears, and the boiling of yellow sand, which was different from usual, filled his nerves. Ning Ye tensed his body at that moment. Here in the wilderness, if there are not thieves, it is outlaws who are strictly hunted down by the state. If they spot a pedestrian on the road who is hurrying or confused, they will only wave the butcher's knife in their hand and then roast the human flesh to satisfy their hunger.

With a muffled "bang", the sheath hook in his hand popped open, and Ning Ye's waist sheath slowly unsheathed the saber. His hand behind the big sword tightened his grip on the saber and would swing it at any moment. Even if it is an old wolf, it is also a wolf king, and he can swing a saber to tear open the blood vessels of the enemy.

The flying yellow sand intensified, and the dozens of horses not far in front of them sped up, and the people they were carrying seemed to see Ning Ye stationed in front of them clearly, and there was already a strong killing intent on their faces, and they seemed to be determined to win.

Ning Ye stared at the horses in front of him, the blood all over his body was boiling, the double python tattoo on his back became more and more terrifying like a living creature, and the saber was quietly raised in the palm of his hand. Without any words, Ning Ye, who sensed the killing intent of the arrival, could cut down the several knights led by him in the next moment to let them know what fear was.

When the dust settled, dozens of horses carrying knights showed their figures, and the knight at the head slowly tightened the hood on his head and stopped the team, "I don't know the old man...... What do you do by staying here? ”

"The whereabouts of the old man still need your consent?" Ning Ye smiled coldly.

"Hahaha! Senior, you are suspicious," the man on the horse pulled out his sword from the scabbard on the horse, and his eyebrows and eyes flowed on the saber in Ning Ye's hand from time to time, "We, the people of the small end, are only passing through to Liesun City, by the way, ......"

"Lieson?" Ning Ye was stunned for a moment.

"Of course...... If the old-timers don't dislike it, our brothers can give you a ride. But this entanglement, but there are seniors. The man smiled wickedly.

Ning Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the wolf-type blood-colored jade hanging from his waist, and threw it on the ground.

"There is no such thing as an old man, but this jade ...... You can try. The sharp white blade of the saber shone out, like an extremely sharp cone thorn.

The man on the head horse was stunned for a moment when he saw the wolf-shaped blood-colored jade, but as the old man in front of him became more and more terrifying, it made him tremble with some fear, this person was definitely not a good old man. The horse's chew in the man's hand jerked back, and the direction of the head horse quickly shifted to the right rear.

"There you go!" He pointed to a man, "Go meet him!" ”

"Yes!" The knight responded, pulled out the war knife in the scabbard and jumped off the horse, facing Ning Ye's blade horizontally.

"Housheng, do you know...... What is pain? Ning Ye said slowly.

The rider was stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Old thing, you're hungry and stupid! Hurt? Lao Tzu is not even afraid of death! ”

"That's great."

The biting wind seemed to be a little faster than before, and the knight felt that it seemed colder and wetter......

The vision swirled, and the sword in front of him was easily shattered by a single blow, and the knight's head was thrown into the air like a crushed clod of earth, and finally stopped at the feet of the group of centaurs, not moving. All the knights on the horse subconsciously pulled their horses, and retreated slightly, and they looked at the absurdly dead colleague who could not even fight back, and their fear was really greatly amplified.

Ning Ye took out the hand towel, violently shook off the blood on the knife, and then slowly wiped the blade. All of this is happening in a matter of fingertips. And when he approached the dead knight, Ning Ye could already see that there were red and black tattoos on the placket of this person's half-open clothes, and they covered his entire chest. In the end, it was the severed neck, and half of the red and black snake tail was broken. From that moment on, he understood the identity of this group of people.

"Wolves, how can you be so disrespectful as you?" Ning Ye stared at the man on the horse with his head fiercely.

The man was still thinking about the subordinate who was instantly wiped out just now, but he was dumbfounded for a moment, not realizing the overtone in Ning Ye's words.

Ning Ye slowly lifted the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the bewitching and intertwined red and black pythons. It was a double python tattoo, a special position that only the majority of capitalists could have.

The man froze, he suddenly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and fell to his knees, "The subordinates are clumsy!" Subordinates are incompetent! I don't know if it's the capital, and I hope that the capital will forgive the sins...... I hope all sins will be forgiven! ”

The others also knelt down and bowed down. The distinction between the dignity and inferiority of the wolf pack is so strict and regular, and any lone wolf who dares to disobey can only meet the blade that is swinged.

"Stand up!" Ning Ye slowly retracted the knife, "My wolf Gu man, there are no soft-footed shrimp!" ”

"Yes!"

"My subordinates were mistakenly killed by me, and that's my responsibility. Your ignorance is your stupidity, and it doesn't matter. I just want to know," Ning Ye stared at the man, "the reason why you went to Liexun, and what is your purpose......"

"All of us, we are all on orders! During the period when you were relieved of your throne by King Wu, the brothers had a very difficult time. The man stood up and approached Ning Ye flatteringly, "And...... This is the instruction of the deputy commander. ”

"The Vice-Commander's Order? Is it Lu Huai? ”

"Yes, Totong." The man whispered in response.

"What did he tell you to do?"

"The Vice-Governor has asked us to rebel against Lord Liexun, and promised to make him regent after the destruction of the Youya Kingdom and manage the land for Guangcai." The man unfolded a scroll of seals and handed it to Ning Ye, "Actually, the meaning of this Lord Lie Xun is very simple...... He just wants to have a fief and be his head snake, and about the person who is a royal family, he readily agrees, and he will definitely be loyal to King Wu. ”

"What's the benefit of these with wolf care? Moreover, the regent is something that he Lu Huai can easily promise? ”

"This ......" the man froze, not knowing what to say.

"You want to say that this is what the Martial King meant?" Ning Ye pulled out his saber and laid it across the man's neck, "From the beginning, I felt strange that the timing of my departure from Shangdu and the timing of your trip to Liexun seemed too coincidental...... Answer me, prisoner on his knees! ”

"It's King Wu's order to the deputy capital," the man felt a chill in his heart, took off his sandani, and revealed his hidden face, which turned out to be Yan Yitu, who had fled from the Lu Mansion for a long time, "King Wu has this intention, and gave the deputy capital the authority to be in a high position, and promised Lie Xun Lord Lu Chi a high position, and then when the world is set, he will kill him quickly." ”

"Are you fooling me?" Ning Ye moved the saber in his hand inward, and the blood stains were faintly visible, "The instructions of the deputy capital commander and the martial king and the instructions of my wolf Gu Dadu commander, which one do you believe?" And...... Who do you think brought you all this now? Xiang Zhiyi, who has no one in his eyes, really can't see the despicable deeds in your hearts? It's just that you're still useful! Once you lose your value, you don't even have the qualifications to talk to Xiang Zhiyi! ”

"Yes...... It's a big city. Yan Yitu replied tremblingly, "The wolves will always flatter the decision of the wolf king......"

"Good." Ning Ye retracted his knife an inch, "Say, where did you know that I intended to go to Liexun and test me at the expense of a subordinate?" ”

"That's what the deputy capital told us......" Yan Yitu looked a little overwhelmed.

"Why would he know?" There was obvious touch in Ning Ye's eyes, and then he quickly hid it. It's just that the more important things are ignored by him, and he can't wait to know Lu Huai's secrets.

"It's a close confidant of King Wu...... The head of the Wen Zhao Division overheard the secret letter between you and King Wu," Yan Yitu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The head of the Wen Zhao Division has always been friendly with the deputy capital, and it seems that he also has objections. ”

Ning Ye withdrew his saber, and the coldness once again invaded Yan Yitu's whole body, "Then next, you should talk about specific matters." ”

Yan Yitu wiped the blood stains on his neck with his hands, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, "The deputy capital pretended to secretly cooperate with King Wu, but in fact, he wanted to use this opportunity to plot against Lord Lie Xun and use it for my wolf Gu, not Guangcai." All ...... You may be mistaken. The teacher of the vice-president, but you. ”

Ning Ye was stunned, "Where is Lu Huai now?" ”

"The deputy capital is now in Heyu City in the north."

"Heyu City? Xie Xu imprisoned him? ”

"Yes. At the end of the discussion with King Wu, the deputy commander informed us of the plan. Soon after, however, he was imprisoned. ”

"It seems that in the eyes of his Xiang Zhiyi, my old life still has a use or two." Ning Ye smiled grimly, "But he misjudged the situation, and this happens to bury everything." ”

"Dutong?" Yan Yitu was keenly aware of Ning Ye's changes.

Ning Ye didn't make a sound, just stared at the broken grassland below. Yan Yitu quietly turned his head and motioned for a man wearing a hood to come over.

"Li Sanquan, go and get the capital on the horse. We have to make meritorious contributions, and if we take action for all the previous offenses, we will all have to die. ”

Li Sanquan squinted, and the slightest hint of fighting spirit emerged, "I think he is also a half-naked old man, although his courage is unparalleled, but I, Li Sanquan, don't believe in this evil!" I don't dare to praise anything, only these two plate axes can compete with them! ”

"Shut up, something that doesn't have a long heart." Yan Yitu slapped him in the face, trembling with anger, and made him stop his mouth very subtly.

"You!" Li Sanquan was in pain, but he just let out a short low roar, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Have you forgotten the rules of our wolf pack? No matter how old he is, he is still the wolf king! Yan Yitu scolded angrily, "Although he is old, the saber in his hand can still cut off your head!" ”

"I ...... I understand. ”

Yan Yitu quietly walked behind Ning Ye, "Dutong, get on the horse, we can reach Lie Xun in a few days." ”

"Lu Huai's plan is somewhat feasible." Ning Ye rubbed his chin, his eyes were meaningful, "But you know how to be flexible, right?" Like what...... Qi Long. ”

"Qi Long?!" Yan Yitu was stunned.

"That's right." Ning Ye said, "This old immortal thing, it's not very peaceful lately......"

Qi ...... Didn't Qi Long die in Luo Yin a long time ago? Why ......"

"Destroying the country won't kill an old thing with three holes of a cunning rabbit." Ning Ye turned around, boarded the stirrup, and straddled the horse, "He has been hiding martial arts for a long time, and now he thinks he has also rushed to Liexun." ”

"Martial Force...... For a long time. Yan Yitu's back instantly became cold, and cold sweat soaked his underwear.

But there was no time left for him to be afraid anymore, everyone turned over and got on the horse, Yan Yitu rode with Li Sanquan with an ugly face, the horsewhip was raised violently, the dust rolled up, and the road was already on the way.

"The plan has changed, and I'll take care of everything next! Wolves, not driven by anyone, we are only for ourselves. ”
