Chapter 1088: Heart-to-heart
The sword is a famous sword, and the sword is a famous sword, but the moves are different.
Chu Cangge's sword technique is close to battlefield fighting, but Qi Ning's sword technique is from the nameless sword spectrum, and even the white feather crane was broken under Qi Ning's sword moves, not to mention Chu Cangge.
This sword is an understatement, but there is no trick to break, because in Chu Cangge's eyes, no matter what move is used to resist, it will show a great flaw, giving the other party a fatal opportunity, but doing nothing is the biggest flaw.
The master made a move, and there was no room for it, Chu Cangge just felt a sharp pain in his hand like a pinprick, his hand was soft, and the dog knife in his hand actually fell to the ground.
Chu Cangge was shocked in his heart, the sword was out of his hand, Qi Ning only needed to take advantage of the situation, he couldn't avoid it at all, but Qi Ning didn't take the opportunity to take out the sword, but took back the sword.
Chu Cangge was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the night sky, and was silent.
The officers and soldiers around were all stunned when they saw that Qi Ning didn't know what move to use, and he actually shot down the treasure knife in Chu Cangge's hand.
Only Chu Cangge slashed and killed all the way, it was really like a killing god reappeared, who would have thought that in a moment, he was shot down by Jinyi Hou and the treasure knife in his hand.
Although Jinyihou is now famous, many people know that Jinyihou is the emperor's favorite minister after he ascended the throne, but what Jinyihou's martial arts are, there is a saying, but Chu Cangge's martial arts are recognized.
Xue Lingfeng is the commander of the Tiger God Camp in the capital, and his martial arts are among the generals in the capital, and he is also a leader, but he is defeated by Chu Cangge, and now Chu Cangge has been defeated by Jinyihou, which shows the wisdom of Jinyihou's martial arts.
Everything was quiet, and even the two BMWs were standing opposite each other, snorting, as if they already knew that the duel was over.
Sima Lan got off the horse, tidied up his clothes in front of all the officers and soldiers, and then looked at Qi Ning and said, "Take the old man to see the emperor." β
Qi Ning hadn't spoken yet, but Chu Cangge had already turned over from the horse and dismounted, bent down to pick up the treasure knife on the ground, and the archers among the officers and soldiers immediately aimed the arrow at Chu Cangge, Xue Lingfeng shouted in a deep voice: "Chu Cangge, are you still stubborn?" β
Chu Cangge's face was expressionless, he picked up the treasure knife, and without looking at the people around him, he turned around and knelt down on one knee to Sima Lan, and said: "Guogong, the humble general is incompetent, I wanted to protect you thoroughly, but I fell short, instead of letting Guogong get out, I wanted to involve Guogong, and I deserved death!" β
Sima Lan put his hands behind his back, the general trend was gone, but he seemed calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Cangge, the old man has read countless people in his generation and misseen many people, but the old man did not misread you, which is really a great blessing in life." He stepped forward, patted Chu Cangge on the shoulder, and said warmly: "You have done everything you can, and the old man is very relieved." Without further ado, he walked in the direction of the Emperor's camp.
Xue Lingfeng winked, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward to follow Sima Lan.
Chu Cangge said loudly: "Take care of the country!" But he raised his arm sharply, and the blade slashed, and he had already cut his own throat, and blood spurted out.
Qi Ning didn't expect Chu Cangge to be so strong, he saw Sima Lan leaving, his eyes moved over, he didn't pay attention to Chu Cangge for a while, and when Chu Cangge shouted, Qi Ning knew that things were not good, and when he looked over, Chu Cangge had already killed himself, and it was too late for him to stop him, he was in a heart, and said in a lost voice: "Commander Chu!" β
Sima Lan paused, seemed to realize something, but did not look back, closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, but he only bowed slightly: "Very good, very good!" "Don't say much, keep going.
Chu Cangge fell to the ground, and all the officers and soldiers around him were also gloomy.
Qi Ning turned over and dismounted, walked to Chu Cangge's side, looked at Chu Cangge lying in a pool of blood, and had mixed feelings for a while.
Speaking from the heart, Qi Ning did not have any hostility towards Chu Cangge, although this person was desperate for Sima Lan, and even did not hesitate to kill the officers and soldiers tonight to bring out Sima Lan, but it also proved this person's loyalty and bravery.
He remembered his majestic appearance when he saw him for the first time, and saw the generation of brave generals lying in a pool of blood at this moment, and his heart was gloomy.
He didn't dislike Chu Cangge, he didn't have any hatred for this person, and he even had respect for this person in his heart, but he wanted to face him with a sword.
"Someone!" Seeing that Sima Lan had already walked away, Qi Ning finally ordered: "Carry Chu Cangge's body down, take care of it, and no one can desecrate his body without the emperor's will." β
In fact, all the soldiers tonight also saw Chu Cangge's loyalty and bravery, and they really admired it in their hearts, even if Qi Ning didn't give such an order, no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for Chu Cangge's body, and several people stepped forward and unsheathed the knife, and then carefully carried Chu Cangge's body down.
Qi Ning picked up Chu Cangge's dog god knife, the moonlight was faint, this knife was cold, the blade was sharp, took the scabbard, and put the knife into the sheath.
Sima Lan came to the emperor's big tent, the two teams of guards on the left and right of the big tent stood straight, holding guns and knives, but Sima Lan had already seen Chen Lanting and Huangfu Zheng standing not far away, and glanced at them, the two looked at each other, their faces were ashamed, and they all bowed to Sima Lan from a distance.
Sima Lan just smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, Chi Fengdian stood in front of the big tent, and arched his hand: "Guogong, the emperor is waiting in the tent!" β
Sima Lan entered the account by himself, and inside the big tent, Longtai was standing in front of a map with his back to the tent door.
The map was pasted on a wooden board, this was a map of the territory of Great Chu, but it was only a rough outline, not detailed, Sima Lan stepped forward and arched his hand: "The old minister has seen the emperor." β
Longtai didn't look back, just said, "Guogong came to take a look." β
Sima Lan was also unfazed, walked over, Longtai glanced at Sima Lan, and said: "This is the territory map of our Great Chu, after I ascended the throne, I remember that it was Guogong who personally gave it to me, so that I can watch it from time to time, every inch of land on this map is led by Emperor Taizu Taizong countless soldiers, and countless blood was shed before it was defeated, Guogong told me that the territory of this map is in my hands, and it can only be expanded, and it must not be less than an inch, otherwise it will not be able to live with the ancestors and ancestors." β
Sima Lan sighed: "It is not easy for Emperor Taizu Taizong to start a business, after countless bloody storms, to have today's Great Chu, as the emperor said, is the accumulation of countless people's bones. β
"I promise you that I will never let my ancestors lose an inch of their country for the rest of my life." Longtai turned around and faced Sima Lan: "I will inherit your will, lead the people of Great Chu to expand the territory, and I will definitely pacify the Northern Han and Eastern Qi." β
Sima Lan bowed his head and said: "If the emperor can accomplish such a grand cause, I think the first emperor and those soldiers who shed their blood for Dachu will be very happy under Jiuquan." β
Longtai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely do it." β
Sima Lan said with a smile: "The emperor has great ambitions and extraordinary means, as long as he governs properly, the old minister also believes that the emperor can do it." β
Long Tai groaned slightly, and then said: "Since Emperor Taizu, Guogong has followed the conquest of the world, and has made countless contributions over the past few decades. I know that those soldiers who conquered cities and territories on the front line have made outstanding achievements, but without the Guogong in the rear, our Great Chu would not be where it is today. When the emperor was there, he instructed me that as long as the prince was loyal to the country, he would not let the prince be wronged and regarded as an elder. β
Sima Lan rushed to the sky and arched his hand and said, "The first emperor is sympathetic to the old minister, and the old minister also wants to thank the first emperor when he goes to Jiuquan." β
Long Tai raised his hand and said: "I know that I like to drink tea on the National Fair Day, and here is my favorite cloud tea on the National Fair Day, which is the tea I personally brewed, and the Guogong will taste it." β
The two walked to the shore, sat down cross-legged on the opposite side, and the tea was placed on the table, Sima Lan took a sip of the cup and said with a smile: "Good tea!" β
Long Tai smiled: "It's good if Guogong likes it." β
Sima Lan put down the teacup and said, "How is the emperor going to deal with the old ministers?" β
Long Tai groaned slightly, and then said: "I want to let Guogong go to Daguang Temple to participate in the Buddha and chant sutras, I don't know what Guogong wants?" β
Sima Lan shook his head, and Long Tai frowned: "Guogong is unwilling?" β
"The emperor misunderstood." Sima Lan sighed: "It's not that the minister is unwilling, but the minister thinks that if the emperor does this, then you just said that you want to pacify the world, and the grand cause cannot be completed." β
"Oh?"
Sima Lan smiled and said: "The emperor is hesitating, you made a move this time, you wanted to put the old minister to death, but when the matter came, when you saw the old minister, you thought of some of the past, so I felt a little unbearable in my heart." You want to kill the minister, but you can't bear to kill it, but you know that if you don't kill the minister, it will still be a trouble, so you hesitate in your heart, this is not what a generation of holy masters should do. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Your Majesty, if an emperor wants to achieve a great cause, he must never forget that he is an emperor, and in order to complete the great cause, all obstacles on the road must be swept away, and there is no mercy at all." β
Long Tai frowned slightly, Sima Lan leaned forward slightly, and said, "If you don't kill the old minister, aren't you worried about the old minister's comeback?" Lao Chen's protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the world, as long as the old minister does not die, their hearts will not die, once the opportunity is found, as long as the old minister lives for a long time, as long as he strikes again, he can always bring turmoil to Da Chu, at that time, the emperor wants to kill the old minister, and the price paid is much more than now. β
Longtai sighed: "Guogong wants to make a comeback? β
"How many people in the world are willing to fail?" Sima Lan also sighed: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the old minister missed this time, firstly, because the old minister was too light on the enemy, and he didn't expect the emperor to have such a thunderous method, and secondly, because the emperor's means are really clever." Put down the teacup and said with a smile: "In fact, the emperor is drunk in the palace, and the old minister knows that the emperor has a lot of intentions, but the old minister thinks that the Northern Expedition is imminent, and everything in the court is under the control of the old minister. β
