Chapter 3 Beginning of the Escape
After explaining the technique again, Wen Ying immediately reported the incident to Suo Wuxian after returning to the Fine Seal Department. Suo Wuxian was forty-eight years old, and at this time he held the position of Shibi of the Ministry of Fine Seals. "Shabi" is equivalent to a sorcerer, and is regarded as a bridge between the gods and the human world in each ministry, and his status is extremely noble, and he gradually changed to the staff of the suzerain of each ministry, and began to give advice to the suzerain, and is the most trusted person of the suzerain in each ministry. Suo Wuxian is good at scheming, and he is quite thoughtful in planning, and he is good at pondering from the subtleties, and he is quite able to know people. But he is quite selfish and narrow-minded. It can be said that Qiu Bang's death was caused by him. Originally, in addition to the sect master Chao Xuan, Suo Wuxian was the highest status in the fine seal department, but due to the few defeats in the Qiu Bang years of conquest, he made a world-renowned contribution to the expansion of the fine seal department, and in Chao Xuan's eyes, the status of Qiu Bang has faintly surpassed Suo Wuxie. In addition, Qiu Bang's temperament is upright, and he will not be euphemistic in case of trouble, so he has offended Suo Wuxian and Shu Zhong many times, under the deliberate arrangement of Suo Wuxian and Shu Chong, Chao Xuan gradually discovered the evidence of Qiu Bang's "rebellion", coupled with Chao Xuan's narrow-mindedness and suspicion, so a tragedy inevitably happened, one of the top ten leaders of Guli, known as the first head of Guli, Qiu Bangzhi died tragically in the hands of the fine seal department that he had been working for.
After removing Qiu Bang, Suo Wuxian sat firmly in the position of the second position of the Fine Seal Department, although Shu Zhong was also one of the top ten leaders of Gu Li, he did not dare to challenge Suo Wuxie's authority, and after the incident of Qiu Bang, he was even more obedient to Suo Wuxie, which made Suo Wuxian believe that he had taken the right step.
At that time, Suo Wuxian heard Mingshu and Wen Ying report that Qiu Yundu had successfully escaped, and there were a thousand iron cavalry in hand, so he was shocked, and sat there speechless for a while, and shouted to Mingshu for a long time: "Go and call Daquan Shou immediately." ”
One of the Qiu Bang died, and Shu Zhong became the only one in the fine seal department. Shu Zhong is Chinese New Year's Eve and is one of the top ten in Guli, but unfortunately due to the existence of Qiu Bangzhi, the light of Shu Zhong is almost invisible. In the early days, he was calm and good at surprise attacks, but later he gradually became arrogant and had a very high self-esteem. Therefore, after several battles at the beginning, perhaps because of his bad luck, he lost more and won less, so Chao Xuan had to pin all his hopes on Qiu Bangzhi, and Qiu Bangzhi also lived up to his expectations, winning consecutive battles, and the fine seal department jumped to become the largest department of Guli, which made Shu Zhong angry and jealous, he was convinced that although he had lost the battle, he could achieve the current achievement if he had been leading the army by himself, and at this time, although he was also the first of all, although his status was not low, he was still under Qiu Bang, and the grudge with Qiu Bang was deep, and Suo Wuxian hit it off, and the two conspired to direct this tragedy.
At this time, Shu Zhong was still immersed in the great excitement of being the first of the world. When Qiu Bangzhi was there, he seemed to be a high mountain in front of Shuzhong, and it was an insurmountable mountain, Ren Shuzhong couldn't surpass him by all means, and now that he died, Shuzhong felt that his whole heart suddenly opened up, and in front of him was a smooth road, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and he couldn't help but want to shout loudly.
Suo Wuxian sent someone to find him, and before Shu Zhong had been busy reorganizing Qiu Bangzhi's sergeants. At present, there are 120,000 regular sergeants in the Fine Seal Department, and there are more than 70,000 in the hands of Qiu Bang, accounting for more than half of the entire department. Qiu Bangzhi has a very high prestige in the army, although after his death, although the more than 70,000 soldiers have been nominally placed under the control of Chao Xuan, but there is still a very difficult step to take when it comes to real control, that is, how to treat Qiu Bangzhi's original subordinates. Shu Zhong understands the feelings of these subordinates for Qiu Bangzhi, even if some people seem to be willing to return to Shu Chong's command, but Shu Zhong is still not at ease, he has just taken over as the head of the Daquan at this time, and he has not yet made a ruthless effort to kill Qiu Bangzhi's subordinates, mainly to replace, to replace all those famous leaders, and replace them with their own henchmen, so that Qiu Bangzhi's sergeants can really be in their own hands, but in this way, some of the replaced leaders are full of complaints, some are angry, but more are far away, On the surface, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but in fact, the morale of the sergeants of the Fine Seal Department was extremely low, and the strength of the army was greatly damaged.
Shu Zhong was invited by Suo Wuxian to come, and gave Suo Wuxian a salute and said, "I've seen Shibi." Shabi summoned me to come, but is there something wrong? ”
Suo Wuxian said dejectedly: "Qiu Yundu escaped, and he also took away a thousand-person iron cavalry army. ”
Shu Chong was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Impossible, I have been reorganizing the sergeants for the past few days, and I have never seen the sergeants leave." ”
Suo Wuxian said: "This iron cavalry army was not brought out from the Dragon Underworld City, but was originally outside, and it is very likely that it is a sergeant secretly trained by Qiu Bangzhi. ”
"Oh!" Shu Zhong saw that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry, how much wind and waves can a thousand iron cavalry troops make?" ”
Suo Wuxian squinted his eyes and glanced at Shu Chong, and said coldly: "I'm not worried about the 1,000 Iron Cavalry, I'm worried that the leader of the 1,000 Iron Cavalry is Qiu Yundu, with Qiu Yundu's talent and a thousand Iron Cavalry, he will quickly turn over." ”
Shu Zhong said disapprovingly: "Shibi, I think you attach too much importance to Qiu Yundu, that Qiu Yundu is young, although he has military merits, but he is not the son of the gods, is it possible that he can rely on the thousand iron cavalry to wipe out our fine sealing department?" ”
Suo Wuxian shook his head and said, "He is not the son of the gods, but maybe he is even more terrifying than the son of the gods." Then he said: "You quickly arrange an army to go to the north to see the specific situation, and arrange for the sergeants to search carefully around the fine seal, there are sergeants secretly trained by Qiu Bangzhi in the north, maybe there will be other places, we can no longer give Qiu Yundu any chance." I have warned you many times that you must not leave hidden dangers in doing things, and now instead of completing things, you have left such a big bane. ”
Shu Zhong was very dissatisfied when he heard Suo Wuxian complain so much, but at this time, he didn't dare to contradict Suo Wuxie, so he had to nod his head and say yes. Suo Wuxian asked again, "How did the sergeant receive it?" ”
Shu Zhong said: "Almost." ”
Suo Wuxian said: "How did you deal with Qiu Bang's original subordinates? ”
Shu Zhong said: "All replaced, hehe, now those people can't make waves?" ”
Suo Wuxian said: "Replaced? What about them? ”
Shu Zhong said: "Some of them are still in the army, and most of the rest are gone." ”
Suo Wuxian got up in a panic and asked anxiously, "Gone?" Who's gone? ”
Shu Zhong looked at Suo Wuxie's frightened appearance, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, after thinking about it, he picked a few main ones and counted them one by one, but before he could finish speaking, Suo Wuxian had already interrupted him and said, "Meng Ao? Buyang? Duanmu Liang? All three are gone? ”
Shu Zhong nodded in amazement, and Suo Wuxian said angrily: "Why did you let the three of them go?" Do you know that these three people are all geniuses, if you can't use them, you have to kill them, otherwise once they meet with Qiu Yundu, they can become his most powerful arms, you, you, you, you ......"
Shu Chong was panicked for a while, he also knew that Meng Ao and Bu Yang were the heads of the Wan Tuan under Qiu Bangzhi, the two of them were indeed geniuses, and they were subordinates that Qiu Bangzhi valued very much, but Duanmu Liang was just eighteen years old this year, although he was brave, he didn't seem to have any other outstanding features, and he didn't expect Suo Wuxian to value him so much.
But hearing Suo Wuxie, he immediately said: "You quickly go back and arrange, as long as you can't use the important leaders of Qiu Bang, don't leave all of them, don't leave a curse." ”
Shu Zhong seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, and promised to take his leave.
Suo Wuxian looked at his back and sighed, and said in his heart: "Shu Chong, Shu Chong, although you seem to be in control of the situation now, but you are so careless everywhere, sooner or later you will suffer." In vain, you are one of the top ten leaders of Guli, compared to Qiu Bangzhi, you are indeed far behind. ”
In this way, most of Qiu Bangzhi's original subordinates were killed, and Shu Zhong quickly took over Qiu Bangzhi's sergeants in a short period of time, but in any case, Meng Ao, Bu Yang, and Duanmu Liang survived, Suo Wuxian did have a vision, because these three people are really unborn geniuses, Suo Wuxian is also expected to be good, these three people will gradually join Qiu Yundu's men in the future, and under the leadership of Qiu Yundu, they will give the fine sealing department, Suo Wuxian and Shu Zhong a heavy blow, especially Duanmu Liang, Duanmu Liang, who is still unknown, will later become Qiu Yundu's most powerful assistant, and will become a nightmare for Suo Wuxian and Shu Zhong for a long time.
According to Shu Chong's current reaction speed, it was indeed too slow, and it was only three days later that he led a team of five thousand soldiers to the Secret Valley, and at this time, the one thousand iron cavalry troops of Qiu Yundu had already left. Shu Zhong stood on the edge of the secret valley and couldn't help but think: Where will Qiu Yundu escape? If Qiu Yundu wants to escape from the sphere of influence of the fine sealing department, he must pass through one of these three departments, but unfortunately, these three departments happen to be the alliance tribe headed by the wild separation department, and it is precisely because of the alliance of their three departments that the fine sealing department cannot continue to develop to the northeast. Only then did Shu Chong know why Suo Wuxian asked him to explore the Secret Valley instead of continuing to pursue and kill Qiu Yundu, because once Qiu Yundu entered the sphere of influence of any of the three departments, it would be difficult for Shu Zhong to lead the army to chase and kill. But he is also sure in his heart, these three departments will never dare to receive Qiu Yundu, although the strength of the three alliances is strong, but the fine seal department also has the West Night Department, the brother of the alliance of the brotherhood, if they really dare to receive Qiu Yundu, the fine seal department will have a reason to go out to fight against it, in the eyes of the beam, it is difficult for these three alliances to block the three alliances of the fine seal department, so it is judged that Qiu Yundu will not dare to stay in the three departments. So where does Qiu Yundu go back in the end? Shu Zhong thought of three places: one was the Xiangli Department or the Jiang Rong Department in the northeast of Guli; Jiang's Rong Department is at the extreme northeast of Guli, but its power is extremely small, and it is most likely to go to Libu. The Xiangli Department is one of the eight strong departments of Guli, and it has a close connection with the Pochao Department, with the two of them, it is difficult for the Fine Seal Department to develop due north, if Qiuyundu joins the Xiangli Department, it seems that it can be accommodated; The second is the Kolan Department at the northwest pole of Guli. The Kelan Department and the Jiang Rong Department are far away from each other, although the Kelan Department is the weakest one among the twenty departments of Guli, but the main city of the Kelan Department has natural dangers, and it is the farthest away from the Fine Seal Department. The third is the Lintai Department or the Gongtang Department in the north-central direction of Guli, but these two departments are very weak, if Qiuyundu really joins one of them, it can be regarded as the best news for the Fine Seal Department.
But the weight of the bundle was only half right, Qiu Yundu was indeed going to one of the three places he speculated - the direction of the Kelan Department, but Qiu Yundu was not going to join the Kelan Department; Moreover, he expected that Yeli, Pochao, and Zuofeng would not dare to accept Qiu Yundu, which was really a big mistake, because one of the three departments was looking forward to inviting Qiu Yundu to join.
However, it was said that Qiu Yundu had led a thousand iron cavalry from the Secret Valley to the west early, and his plan was to enter the realm of the Pochao Department due west, and then bypass the main city of the Pochao Ministry, Lingxiao City, and walk northwest along the edge of the Flower Lake. To reach the northwest of Guli, there are several difficulties, one of which is how to cross the boundary of the Quite Superior Division. It is said that even if the Ministry of Quite Chaodu discovers Qiu Yundu, it should not embarrass him, but Qiu Yundu does not dare to be careless, among which a small change will affect the decision of the Department of Quite Chao, and Qiu Yundu's life is only one, and he can't afford to gamble. Therefore, he strictly ordered a thousand iron cavalry to be secretive and secretive, and not to alarm the overkill. For this reason, they hid in the dense forest during the day, and only began to hurry at night, but in a few days, they reached the edge of the flower lake, and they knew that at this time they encountered a change.
In the early morning of this day, Qiuyundu was rushing with the iron cavalry, and when Kankan arrived at the southeast edge of Huahu, a team of about 2,000 sergeants suddenly appeared in front, and at this time, the pathfinder sergeant arranged by Qiuyundu had already passed, and this army was clearly in this gap and quickly intervened to stop Qiuyundu's iron cavalry.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and Qiu Yundu vaguely saw the sergeant in front of him stationed there, quietly without making the slightest sound. Qiu Yundu couldn't help but sweat coldly, and the thoughts in his heart turned a few times: This army appeared here, and it was very likely that it was a sergeant from the superior army, but why did they come from? Intercept and kill Qiu Yundu? It is very possible, of course there are other possibilities, but Qiu Yundu does not dare to think about it. He made a decision in a short time: Chao Suotu, Gai Ying, and Zong Yi led 500 troops to protect Lao Yan and rushed to the northwest, while Qiu Yundu took Niu Ben and the remaining 500 troops to block the other party and wait for an opportunity to escape. Although Qiu Yundu was not sure that he would defeat the other party, it would not be difficult to escape, but it would only cost some sergeants, but this was also a helpless matter. Just as he was about to issue a military order, he saw a horse in front of him rushing straight to him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Is it Qiu Shaoquan's head in front?" Please see the chief Murong of the Daquan of the Super Department! ”
When Qiu Yundu heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Xi Murong! It turned out that Xi Murong personally led the army here! Qiu Yundu immediately pressed the military order and ordered the sergeant not to move. Because he knows Xi Murong too well, if Xi Murong really came in person and harbored malicious intentions, his army may be more than lucky.
Xi Murong, is forty-eight years old, quite a superordinate head, one of the top ten leaders of Guli, known as the only one in Guli that can compete with Qiu Bang, his reputation throughout Guli, now that Qiu Bangzhi is dead, he can be known as the first head of Gu Li.
Qiu Yundu calmed down for a moment and asked slowly, "I don't want to meet Xi Quanshou here...... I don't know what the whole head of Xi is calling to do? ”
The man seemed to smile slightly in the dark, and said: "Shao Quanshou don't have to worry, I came to invite him at the order of my father, because I have admired Shao Quanshou for a long time, I hereby invite you." ”
Xi Bukai! The father and son came together. Xi Bukai is twenty-four years old and is the second son of Xi Murong. Xi Murong originally had two sons, but unfortunately the eldest son died in the early war, and now only this son is left. Although Xi Bukai is young, he is known as a genius. Qiu Yundu can be said to have a good reputation in the fine seal department and even in the entire Guli, and Xi Bukai is no less than Qiu Yundu, he and Qiu Yundu plus Mu Huaishui, the son of Mu Yuanshan of the Fangdang Department, are called "the three young heads of Guli", and they are the candidates who will be included in the list of the top in the future, although Qiu Yundu has never fought with him, but he has been admired for a long time.
With just one Xi Bukai, Qiu Yundu can still fight hard, but don't forget that there is also Xi Murong here, Qiu Yundu almost gave up the idea of resisting in an instant, and he listened to Xi Bukai's words, Xi Murong didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, so he said: "Thank you Daquanshou and Shaoquanshou for their kindness, and you are also bothered to lead the way." ”
At the moment, regardless of the dissuasion of Chao Suotu and others, Qiu Yundu followed Xi Bukai alone.
