Chapter XVI: Inference
One person suddenly pushed open the door and walked into the house, covered with dust, it must have been caused by the rush just now, everyone raised their eyes and saw that it was Qin Rufeng, Qin Rufeng and everyone nodded in greeting, and then arched his hand to Qu Xiangtian and said: "Brother Tian, as you expected, some of Gu Tanshang and others fled back to the capital to move rescue troops, and some fled to Langfang and other places under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion to mobilize officers and soldiers. However, in less than half a day, the brigade was assembled, but Shang Yu and the others should have not arrived according to the time, how did these assembled officers and soldiers know the defeat report? Once the Shang delirium and the others arrive, the team can set off, and when tens of thousands of people besiege Bazhou, we only have the heavy armored cavalry led by Guangliang who can't hold on, and it's even more impossible to meet the battle, and it is even more impossible to rely on the soldiers we have collected in recent days, and those guys can't do anything with combat effectiveness at all. ”
Qu Xiangtian nodded and said, "You and I will go to the army to find Guangliang to discuss it in a while, and then make a decision." As for the recruits, let's talk about it when the time comes, it's better than nothing, and don't pay attention to anything at this time. ”
Zhu Jianwen said in surprise: "I was talking just now, and I forgot to ask you about the cavalry that rescued us, I know that it was the sharp knife unit that you personally trained, but the people who followed behind were just recruited by you?" And how did you get this Bazhou? Qu Xiangtian haha, pointed at Qin Rufeng and said, "Lao Zhu, if you ask him, it will startle me." Zhu Jianwen said with interest: "What the hell is going on, it can scare the general Qu Xiangtian." ”
Qin Rufeng smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's not good for me, Brother Tian is planning to prepare to infiltrate Bazhou, and then control the soldiers defending the city, restrain the people in the yamen, and force the local officials to surrender." But I was a little impatient, directly led more than 100 people to run away secretly, Brother Tian found out when it was already late, I ran all the way to defend the city before the officers and soldiers reacted, we have already entered the city, after controlling the city gate, I led people to rush into the government to kill the county, and then controlled 100 officers and soldiers, and took Bazhou in less than half an hour. But later, after Brother Tian entered the city, he was furious, saying that I disobeyed the military order and beat me with thirty military sticks, but he gave me a great credit, which can be said to be a clear reward and punishment, regardless of friendship, the brothers all admired, and I was also convinced. ”
Qu Xiangtian nodded at Qin Rufeng and said: "The main thing is that I didn't know the situation in Bazhou at that time, and Zhu Jianwen, who is familiar with officials from all over the world, is not there, I am worried that the magistrate of this place is a good official, and it is easy to cause resentment when killed, but I didn't expect it to be a huge greedy rat, and the people are not happy, as soon as I took Bazhou, hundreds of people came to join the army, and then it developed to a thousand, I didn't have time to train, and the scouts came to report that you were chased by those dogs, so I led the troops to attack, causing the child's play-like scene you saw. But it's also to blame that the Ming army behind them is all a bad breed, and they were scared away when they saw that there were many of them. By the way, don't just talk about Bazhou, Yun Fei, Yun Zhi, I have also heard of the shadow ghost that you two were worried about just now, it is the head of the sixteen evil ghosts, what is so powerful, why is there only one-sided words recorded in the book. ”
Lu Yunzhi had been thinking about the shadow ghost in a daze just now, and at this moment, when he heard Qu Xiangtian's question, he turned a deaf ear, Yingzi gently pulled Lu Yunzhi's hand before he reacted, and after a little tidying up his thoughts, he said: "Like chaos, the reason why the shadow ghost is rarely recorded is because no one can live to describe his true appearance, and all that everyone sees is nothing more than the shadow it manipulates, as for what the shadow ghost's body looks like, no one knows." It's just that this kind of ghost is said to be able to manipulate all the shadows between heaven and earth, and cling to these shadows hidden in these shadows, and we don't know what these shadows can do, since ancient times, shadows are a mysterious thing, under the manipulation of shadows, they may be able to kill people at any time and invisibly, if someone can really manipulate the shadows, it is the beginning of the disaster. ”
Everyone was shocked, discussing with each other but having no clue, Lu Yunzhi coughed lightly but said: "You don't have to worry, I said that there may be someone who can be several times higher than me, so I can suppress the fate of all of us together, but this is just a hypothesis, and it can't be established at all, because if that person can do this, he will become a god, and we can't survive at all, so why sit around here?" That's why my sister-in-law guessed that it might be a ghost. Murong Yunfei nodded after hearing this.
"It's just that, where is the shadow ghost in the first place of the sixteen evil ghosts so easy to drive, to drive the shadow ghost must first defeat it, there are few rumors of defeating the shadow ghost throughout the ages, although there is only a few words to mention, but it is a genius that has not been encountered in a thousand years, and it took a lot of effort to gather the strength of thousands of people to tie with the shadow ghost, and finally an agreement was made between the people and ghosts, which can drive the shadow ghost. And according to legend, although the shadow ghost is a ghost, but he is fluent in human language, and his personality is also very changeable, but arrogance is his nature, he is not willing to be driven by anyone, he would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, even if he defeats it, he can only trap it, as for the spell that drives him to destroy him, no one knows, even Xing Wen Ancestor and Master Jiucheng in the Han Dynasty, the two people who have driven the shadow ghost, cannot let its ability be fully displayed. The arrogant Shadow Phantom fought only for himself, he stayed in the shadows of the trees, in the shadows of the trees, in the week of lights, waiting, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy and a heavy blow to those who drove him. If I had to write a comment for the Phantom, I would just say that the person I meet sits on the ground and waits for death, because no matter how strong or fast you are, you can't get rid of your own shadow, you can't run or run, what can you do if you don't sit on the ground and wait for death? Lu Yunzhi took a sip of tea, but was choked by the tea, coughed violently, and after a while, spit out a mouthful of black blood clots.
Murong Yunfei said softly: "Actually, our Murong family has a way to drive the shadow ghost, and it may not be appropriate to say that the drive may not be appropriate, or it may be said that it is a transaction, that is, to dedicate the yang life of tens of millions of people to the shadow ghost, just like a ghost and witch worshipping a ghost." If you can't find so many people, and the subject is the one who changes the fate of the world, then you can also self-destruct Yangshou to achieve the effect of driving the shadow ghost. But even so, Yunzhi also said that the shadow ghost is arrogant, and he will only do what he wants, and will not obey what drives people. ”
Fang Qingze opened his mouth and summarized the two problems he was facing now: first, he used the shadow ghost in one word, but this is extremely impossible, and if this is the case, everyone is helpless, so this problem will be put aside for the time being. Second, there are people who are several times higher than the sum of the three ways of fate and qi of all people, this is also unbelievable, this argument is self-contradictory, why this person is so powerful but always wants to let everyone live, since he wants to let go of the individual and why send troops to chase and kill, it is not that one person is in charge of the family, and there are also political party differences. Regarding the differences between political parties, Zhu Jianwen's court speculation theory is quite reasonable. After listening to Fang Qingze's summary of what everyone said, everyone thought about it.
Qu Xiangtian asked: "In this case, our first point is irresistible, so we will not consider it for the time being." The second point, Yunzhi, if there is really such a master, is there any way to make him unable to calculate our fate? ”
Lu Yunzhi nodded and said, "Yes, destroy the four pillars and eliminate the ten gods." ”
