Chapter 137: Who is the Yellow Sparrow and Who is the Cicada
When the sun gradually rose, in a remote courtyard deep in Dragon City, Jiang Song, a seriously injured spy of the Qin State, finally woke up from his coma. When he opened his eyes and saw the figure sitting on the side, he was sure that he was not dead.
"Young master! It's me who can't do it...... Thank you for saving your life! ”
He struggled to his feet, a look of pain on his face. The injuries in his body and the frustration in his heart made this ace spy who had been lurking in Dragon City for more than ten years feel ashamed.
Nie Wushuang, the young master of the Qin Kingdom, stood up and walked over, looking at him with a calm face, although he didn't know what was going on, a strong uneasiness had already risen in his heart.
Ever since he had secretly reached an agreement with the uncle of Zhao State, and then was arranged to recuperate in this secret place, he had not gone out to do anything else. On the one hand, this is to quickly take care of the body, and on the other hand, it is for fear of startling the snake, so that the spies of Zhao State have discovered their whereabouts. As the old opponent of the Qin State, the Qianji Pavilion of the Zhao State also has very powerful strength. The battle between the two sides in the dark had been going on for so many years, and Nie Wushuang would never underestimate them.
All the outside news came from the mouth of the mountain ghost. It's just that although the mountain ghost general has no one else in the ability to domesticate and drive birds and beasts, he is a little slow to react when it comes to listening to news and discovering anomalies in time. Therefore, these days, Nie Wushuang only relied on limited intelligence analysis, and he could not fully understand the situation outside.
And such negligence, or compulsion, finally made him misjudge, and until now, he thought that everything he had planned was foolproof!
Jiang Song was rescued by a mountain ghost last night. This unlucky guy who escaped death on the battlefield of Qixialing had two knife wounds on his body and was shot with a crossbow arrow in his back. After escaping his life from the river, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and finally returned to Dragon City. As a spy who swore allegiance to King Qin, he had to report this important matter to the young master Nie Wushuang as soon as possible. That's the only thing he can do at the moment.
It's just that when he climbed into the city wall in the dark and didn't even reach Nie Wushuang's residence, he was discovered by the ubiquitous Thousand Machine Pavilion spies. Jiang Song was seriously injured, and he was not an opponent, so he had to desperately flee in the dark night. Just when he was about to be caught up and captured, it was the mountain ghost who appeared in time to save him and killed the two Thousand Machine Pavilion spies who came after him. Jiang Song passed out without saying a word, and when he woke up again, it was now.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Hearing Nie Wushuang's inquiry, Jiang Song tried his best to calm down the emotions in his heart. His face was pale, and his tone was full of humiliation and anger.
"Young master! We've all been deceived. The warship army of the Southern Han Dynasty has been completely wiped out at Qixialing and the Chu River...... They fell into the ambush of the Zhao army and were killed cleanly! ”
Nie Wushuang was taken aback. Although he had a bad premonition, he didn't expect it to be so serious. Even if he had always believed himself, he couldn't help but hurriedly ask.
"How can this be? The power of the Southern Han warships is second to none among the princes, not to mention that there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers! How could Zhao Jun be able to stop them? ”
"The young master doesn't know, that guy Chu Jiangmian has a premeditated plan! Even Gongzi Liangsheng's defection was deliberately arranged by him! They used a strategy to lure the Southern Han naval army to Qixialing, and then intercepted the river and fought, burning the warships...... It's hateful that I always thought that Chu Liangsheng was cowardly and incompetent, but I didn't expect him to be so treacherous. Young Lord, how are we doing now? ”
Suddenly hearing such news, not only Nie Wushuang's face was full of shock, but even the mountain ghost who walked in from outside widened his eyes in surprise, looking incredulous.
"Is what you're saying true? Seeing the Southern Han Army fall with your own eyes? ”
"Mountain Ghost General, this matter is absolutely true! Chu Jiangmian personally commanded the dragoon army and set this trap in Qixialing, if I hadn't rushed back to report the news and desperately jumped into the river to escape, I'm afraid that by now, like those Southern Han naval troops, they would have already been buried under the fire and ruthless blades! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Song remembered the terrible scene on the battlefield that he saw in his last eyes, and his face was extremely sad, even now he still had palpitations. There are more than 20,000 elite sailors, and they will be wiped out easily! If anyone still regards Chu Jiangmian as a gentleman, they are really blind!
"When did this happen...... Is Chu Jiangmian still over there? ”
Nie Wushuang took a deep breath and stabilized his mind. Starting from Zhongyue Mountain, he had long known that Chu Jiangmian was a powerful person. It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he made a move, it would be such a big deal! Thinking of what Master Shenjizi had said, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, Chu Jiangmian was really the most powerful rival in his life!
"Young master, it's been a day and two nights since the battle of Qixialing, but now I don't know what ......the situation is."
The sun was dazzling outside, but Nie Wushuang felt a little stuffy in his chest. He suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake by entering Dragon City.
"Mountain Ghost General, have you received any news from the outside in the past two days?"
"Nope. The inside and outside of Dragon City should be isolated from the news, and all the spies of Zhao Guoqianji Pavilion have been dispatched. I'm afraid our people are almost dead. ”
The mountain ghost shook his head with a heavy face. For the sake of Nie Wushuang's safety, he didn't dare to stay away, and since they hid in this place, they had never been able to contact the secret spies of the Qin State. This does not bode well.
"What will happen again in two days? If you extrapolate according to the date, the Qin and Wei armies from the Western Front should have been able to rush to Dragon City! Is there no movement outside? ”
Nie Wushuang muttered to himself, and the mountain ghost shook his head incessantly. Although he had no way to get out of the city, he could conclude that Dragon City definitely didn't look like it was being approached by a large army.
"Young master, don't worry too much about it for now. Although Chu Jiangmian used trickery to break the Southern Han naval army, did he have the ability to resist the siege of the other four-way armies at the same time? In fact, even if you don't use others, just our Great Qin's army, the Zhao army will definitely be difficult to contend with! If they really have that kind of strength, will they still be defeated and have no power to fight back? ”
"Alas, things are not as simple as imagined! Since Chu Jiangmian no longer hid his means and launched an operation, he must have had an overall battle plan. It's just a pity that we have no way of knowing...... Uh, by the way, what's going on over there in Uncle Wang Chu Daxing? ”
Nie Wushuang, who was frowning deeply, suddenly remembered who he was working with, and now, perhaps the only way to understand the details of things was from this aspect. He believed that now Chu Daxing and he were already grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and they would never dare to play any tricks casually.
While examining Jiang Song's wound, the mountain ghost reapplied the wound medicine. He raised his head and replied, "A large number of people gathered in the mansion over there last night, and they should be discussing something important." Early this morning, I saw them go out of the house wearing filial piety clothes, they should have entered Jinxiang Palace, but I don't know what will happen? ”
A light suddenly appeared in Nie Wushuang's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he said with a smug smile: "Haha! Do you still need to ask, these people in the Zhao royal family can't help it. In Jinxiang Palace today, there will definitely be trouble! Perhaps, we should seize this opportunity. ”
"Young master, do you mean ......?"
Sensing the change in his tone, Jiang Song couldn't care about the pain on his body, he stretched his neck and looked at Nie Wushuang with the mountain ghost, hoping very much that this young master of the Qin State could come up with an exciting way. Nie Wushuang walked to the window with his hands down, looked at the clouds above Dragon City, and regained his composure.
"In King Zhao's family, there are many people who don't like that stern queen, and they don't want Chu Jiangmian to ascend to the throne! They have been planning for a long time, and they have apparently chosen to launch it today. Hehe! Whoever their newly chosen person is, there is likely to be chaos within Dragon City. Just imagine, when Chu Jiangmian was rejoicing in his victory on the battlefield ahead, he suddenly heard that he had been deprived of his inheritance, and then someone else ascended the throne...... What will happen next, you say? ”
Even if the mountain ghost and Jiang Song were slow to react, they understood the meaning of Nie Wushuang's words. What's more, they are inherently astute people. The two of them glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile on their faces, sweeping away the previous decadence.
"The young master is really far-sighted and knowledgeable! Even if Chu Jiangmian defeated the Southern Han naval army, he probably never expected that he would go out of the city to fight without telling everyone, but in the end, he would get such a result! Ha ha! ”
And so it was! If there is really chaos in Jinxiang Palace today, and someone takes the opportunity to ascend to the throne, then there is no doubt that Chu Jiangmian, who is in the dragoon army, will definitely not be able to swallow this breath! With his unrelenting means of slaughtering the enemy, would he be polite to the person who stabbed him in the back? When the time comes, brothers will kill each other, the palace will bleed, and our army will arrive, and the Zhao State will be destroyed! ”
At this, all three of them burst out laughing together. Speaking of which, it is not a bad thing for the prince of Zhao, who has already shown his edge, to establish prestige in the army through war. In this way, he will have a greater boost, and he can start a more tragic battle with his brothers and elders of the same bloodline!
"Young master, what should we do...... Shouldn't we add a fire to the hatred between them? ”
Jiang Song's face showed a vicious expression. He now seems to have seen Chu Jiangmian and his two elder brothers slashing and slashing each other, killing him with a river of blood, killing him all over the field, and killing him all over the field, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart!
