Chapter Eighty-Six: Embarrassing
At noon, in the formation of the two armies, Yu Qian personally went out of the tent to welcome Lu Yunzhi and others into the temporary tent, and there were already several people waiting in the tent, among them was the current emperor Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen did not have a guard, and when he saw Lu Yunzhi coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Mr. Lu." But seeing that Lu Yunzhi didn't look at him, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly changed his words: "Royal brother, Yunzhi, you are here, I miss you very much." ”
Lu Yunzhi replied coldly: "Sir, don't dare, royal brother, don't, Yunzhi, don't." As he spoke, he walked to the seat in the tent, and everyone rushed in, only Zhu Jianwen smiled at Zhu Qiyu, and only then did he solve the embarrassing situation that Zhu Qiyu was ignored.
Yu Qian smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I am really honored that you can come to meet me." Lu Yunzhi nodded and replied with a smile: "Lord Yu doesn't have to be polite, what happened in the capital." ”
"Cheng Fangdong took advantage of our duel to occupy the capital." Yu Qian said in a heavy tone, and Qu Xiangtian asked: "Then where did he get the 100,000 male soldiers, and how did he quietly get to the vicinity of the capital and quickly enter the city." ”
Zhen Lingdan, the master of the living soul vein, said: "General Qu, as far as we know, these 100,000 soldiers and horses should have entered the city through multiple tunnels and in many places. Zhu Jianwen stood up with a loud cry and said: "What are you kidding, use tunnels to enter the city, how many tunnels do you have to use, not to mention this, even if there are enough soldiers to dig tunnels in turn, it will take a few years to dig from nearby towns to the capital." ”
Shang Yu said with some yin and yang weirdness: "But those people are tireless day and night, they are all living dead. "The living dead," he said. Everyone said in unison, some shocked and some puzzled, Fang Qingze asked, "What is the living dead." ”
Shi Fang said: "The living dead are people who are made of corpses like puppets, they are walking corpses, but they can maintain the skills of the living dead, but the living dead need to have a manipulator, otherwise the corpse itself does not know the convenience of eating, etc., and soon the body will rot, the secret art of the living dead is said to come from a mysterious tribe, this tribe witch doctor's technique is quite evil, and the living dead are very strong in combat, if it is not for the broken corpse and thousands of broken bones and ashes, they are not afraid of the sword wounded and courageous, because the living dead are not aware at all, For the sake of money, this tribe began to deliberately kill people to make the living dead, so Xing Wen Ancestor destroyed this tribe, and exterminated many cults, burned those books on evil and brutal techniques, took their essence and removed their dross, and formed the Danding lineage, so the art of the living dead has long been lost, how could Cheng Fangdong have such a lost medical skill. ”
Yu Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Shi is really well-informed. And Lu Yunzhi's brows tightened, and three words came out at this moment: "Wang Yulu." "Everyone was shocked, Wang Yulu was in the same vein, good medicine, when everyone found out that Cheng Fangdong had defected, they were surprised that Wang Yulu was also among them, no one knew what Wang Yulu was thinking, and why he defected, and then Wang Yulu did not join the pursuit team like Cheng Fangdong, even this time the two armies fought, Wang Yulu did not appear, as if evaporating in the world, so it is very likely that Wang Yulu made these living dead,
The Lord of the Living Soul Vein lowered his head and said: "I know Wang Yulu, I have met it once or twice, and I have discussed things with us with Cheng Fangdong, and what impresses me the most is the smell of the elixir all over his body, but the art of the living dead needs to use corpses as a medium, where do the corpses of a hundred thousand troops come from." The crowd was lost in thought,
Fang Qingze suddenly shouted, "I know." Everyone turned their heads to look at Fang Qingze, Fang Qingze said with a look of sudden realization: "After we fled that day, I sent someone to secretly go to the mansion of Zhongzheng Yimai, which was supposed to collect the bodies of our dead brothers, but the corpses were missing, this is one of them, and just now I thought again, do you remember, after the battle of Tumubao, when a few of us rushed to Tumubao, we only found the body of Senior Brother Du Hai, but the bodies of other brothers of the same vein were missing, we thought that we were mixed in the many bones and did not look for it carefully, The military situation urgently rushed back to the capital to report and support, and then the imperial court because of the large number of dead people, almost the entire army was wiped out, so the corpse was not lightly touched, but the total number of expeditions minus the number of people who fled back, and the conclusion of the number of dead in the war, and finally there was the time when our two armies fought in the Shandong battlefield, and there were many corpses stolen for unknown reasons, I think not only this situation occurred on the side of the Qinwang army, but also the Ming army led by the Lord of the Soul Vein should have this kind of thing happening, this repeated thing about the corpse, Let me have an inference, that is, these corpses were all made into living dead by Wang Yulu. ”
Zhen Lingdan, the master of the living soul vein, nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, our army also has a situation where the corpse is lost, I understand, if it is not for the fact that it takes a long time to make the living dead, and the steps are extremely cumbersome, maybe the corpses of the soldiers on both sides will also be stolen in the decisive battle of Beijing City and made into the living dead, this Cheng Fangdong has really been planning with good intentions for a long time." ”
Everyone was in an uproar, Lu Yunzhi stood up, his hands were slightly opened, and everyone slowly quieted down, Lu Yunzhi asked: "Then Lord Yu means that we will stop the army, so that you can concentrate on fighting Cheng Fangdong." ”
Yu Qian shook his head and replied, "No, I want to join forces with you to defeat Cheng Fangdong together." Fang Qingze shouted at this moment and got up: "Don't even think about it, you destroy our Zhongzheng lineage and kill our same lineage, how can we help you if we don't settle accounts with you." ”
Yu Qian said as if mockingly: "In the opinion of a fool, dare to ask Cheng Fangdong that as soon as the 100,000 living dead come out, who of the two of us can stop it, if we don't help each other, we will definitely be destroyed separately, and in the end Cheng Fangdong became the winner." ”
Fang Qingze sneered at each other: "If the capital is occupied, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be gone, I think you will not agree to a person who claims to be a loyal minister, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, if you fight to lose both, isn't the winner ours, Lord Yu, if you want to use Cheng Fangdong to provoke us to send troops, don't you think about it." ”
"The Lord of the Living Soul Vein, dare to ask what are the chances of winning the battle between the Ming army and Cheng Fangdong's living dead." Qu Xiangtian suddenly asked Zhen Lingdan,
Zhen Lingdan lowered his head and said after thinking about it: "Less than thirty percent, the living dead are tireless and don't care about the pain, it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to have three enemies and one enemy, we don't have much food and grass now, and the ammunition is insufficient, and the long-range weapons are not as sufficient as yours, and it is difficult to win in close combat, so if you are lucky, you only have a thirty percent chance of winning." ”
