Chapter 208: To each his own thing
Before the battle, Xue Jin shook the incarnation stick in his hand, and suddenly wanted to lead the troops out of the city instead of King Wu.
Tang Weitian was the first to disbelieve it, and ran towards the high platform, "What about the Metropolitan Governor?" I'll have to ask......"
Xue Jin shook his hand and grabbed one of Tang Weitian's arms, dragged him twice, and pushed him back to his original place, "The Immortal Divine Platform, mortals are not allowed to approach. ”
Xue Jinyan is a woman, Tang Weitian is thin, he didn't expect the other party's strength to be so great, in the end, Xue Jinyao had a slight upper hand, Tang Weitian didn't break through, his momentum decreased slightly, and he turned his head to look at the other Wu generals.
Meng Shenglun stepped forward and said: "The ruling government said that he would personally lead the troops out of the city, how could he ......?"
Xue Jin shook the knife in his right hand, pointed to the sky with his left hand, and said proudly: "The king of the world is here in person, and he wants to help the righteous army defeat the officers and soldiers with boundless mana, so the stay is relatively long, and the ordinary body can't afford it, so it must be King Wu." King Wu is a disciple of the king of the world, and he has to pass on the mantle, and there is no second person in the world who can make the soul last for a long time. ”
Xue Jin shook his head and looked at the incarnation army in the camp, "Maitreya Buddha blesses, and the incarnation king personally supervises, our army will win." Though you go forward bravely, the living are rewarded, and the dead ascend to heaven, and those who retreat in fear fall into hell forever, and do not be born beyond life. ”
"Victory!" "Go ahead!" The descending army echoed loudly, and even the soldiers of King Wu were also infected, shouting harder, Meng Shenglun and other Wu generals looked at each other, and they all had questions in their hearts, but they couldn't open their mouths to ask again, so they could only look at the high platform frequently, only to see the green smoke rising, and not seeing the figure of King Wu.
A mage brought a mount, two mages brought a lance, Xue Jinyan put the incarnation stick on his waist, got on the horse and held the lance, several mages rode over, each with a banner, on which were painted various runes of the religion, although rough, but quite invigorating the morale of the army.
Xue Jin shook to Meng Seng Lun and the others: "Either follow me out of the city to fight, or stay and wait for King Wu, whatever you want." ”
When Xue Jinyan said "stay", his tone changed slightly, as if he was ridiculing General Wu for being cowardly, how could everyone stand it, they got on their horses and got weapons, and wanted to go out of the city with the Golden Holy Maiden, and even Song Xingci was eager to try.
Meng Shenglun was confused and uneasy, but King Wu and his wife looked deeply affectionate, and they didn't even stumble, he was an outsider who couldn't guess, the enemy was current, he couldn't think about it, turned over on his horse, stopped Song Xingju, and advised: "The Golden Saintess didn't say that King Wu wanted to change his plan, you stay, and act according to the original plan." ”
Meng Shenglun called Tang Weitian again, "You also stay, find an opportunity to climb the high platform, see what is going on with King Wu, if there is any case, immediately go out of the city to find me." ”
Tang Weitian wanted to go out of the city to participate in the war, but for the sake of King Wu, he had to reluctantly nod, "As soon as you get out of the city, I will find a way to go up." ”
Xue Jinyao had already led the team out of the city, according to the sequence, Wu General was about to follow, Meng Shenglun hurriedly patted his horse to catch up, thought about it, quietly observed the demeanor of the golden saintess, and felt that it was not like something was wrong, not to mention the danger of going out of the city, it was safe to stay on the high platform, so thinking about it, he was less suspicious.
It took some time for the army to leave the city, and Tang Wei was in a hurry by nature, and as soon as the generals in front of him disappeared, he ran to the high platform to check the situation.
Several mages stopped in front of the wooden ladder and shook their heads at the same time.
"I'm the personal guard of the Grand Duke, and I'm by his side at all times."
"King Wu didn't take you up at the beginning, and now he can't go up." A mage replied.
"I also have a magic rod here, if you don't give way, I'm going to knock you on the head."
The mages didn't take this "relative" of the incarnation stick seriously, and some people said: "It's useless for you to go up, the current king of Wu is not the king of Wu, but the king of the incarnation." ”
"What about the King of Wu?"
"The soul sleeps for a while, and gives up the body to the incarnation."
Tang Weitian was also born in the Descending Army, and he believed in this kind of thing, took two steps back, and looked up, "The Descending King has ascended to heaven, why are you coming back?" ”
"Of course, it is to help the Descendant Army defeat the officers and soldiers."
"When he was alive, he ran away when he saw officers and soldiers, but after he died, he grew his ability?" Tang Weitian couldn't figure it out.
A judge reprimanded: "Hugh is rude, the incarnation king turns to the Quartet, spreads the Buddha's decree, when will he run away as soon as he sees the officers and soldiers?" Didn't you see that the Descendant Army was getting stronger and stronger, and it still captured the Eastern Capital? ”
Tang Weitian pouted, he had just come back, and he had not experienced many changes after the death of the incarnated king, and he still lacked respect for Xue Liujia as before.
Tang Weitian slowly circled around the high platform, but the mages were tightly protected, and the platform was very high, and there was no way to go up unless he climbed the ladder.
Someone came running on horseback and said hurriedly: "The King of Shu sent me to ask: What's the matter?" Where is King Wu? ”
Song Xingci has already led the troops out of the camp, in the name of inspecting the streets, ready to attack the northern city, the remaining general is Dai Pohu, he is a native of Jingzhou, loyal to the king of Wu, but he does not want to meddle in things, stretched out his arms and pointed: "There, the king of the world is entrusted to the king of Wu, casting spells to help the war, and the golden saint woman personally leads the troops out of the city." ”
The visitor looked confused, "Can you let me see King Wu?" Just one word. ”
Dai Pohu was helpless, and a mage guarding the platform said loudly: "No, no one can go up, now it's not King Wu, it's the King of the Incarnation." ”
Gan Zhao's subordinates were all descendants, and they were more suspicious of this kind of thing, so they didn't dare to insist anymore, and left with their horses.
After him, the three kings of Ning, Liang, and Jin all sent people to inquire, all of them were urgent, the envoys of the king of Liang and the king of Jin were not the incarnation army, especially insisting on seeing the king of Wu, and the mage insisted even more, not giving an inch.
The messenger had no choice but to leave.
It was Tang Weitian who took advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity, passed between the two mages, hurriedly climbed the ladder, and after only a few steps, he was grabbed by several pairs of hands and dragged down.
The mage was very angry and said to Dai Pohu: "The incarnation king is attached to the body of the king of Wu, it is extremely dangerous, if you are frightened, the spirit of the incarnation king will not be able to return to the sky, and the king of Wu will also be injured, who will bear this responsibility?" If anyone trespasses on the altar again, we can only blame you. ”
Dai Pohu couldn't help it, apologized repeatedly, called Tang Weitian aside, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, wait for King Wu to come down by himself." ”
"I'm a little worried."
"The king of the world personally descended, and the golden saintess personally led the troops, what are you worried about?"
"I've long known the incarnation king, his spells...... I'm not at ease, although the Golden Holy Maiden has a lot of strength, but she has never led soldiers at all, and I am even more worried. I really don't understand, how could King Wu ......"
"The matter of the immortals, can we understand? You're really worried, why don't you go to the city and see how the battle is going outside. ”
"Reasonable." Tang ran for the sky, as fast as usual, and soon came to the city wall.
There were not many soldiers in the city, but they were all looking out and making all kinds of cries, not knowing whether they were surprised or delighted.
Tang Weitian looked into the distance, and saw that the rebels and the officers and soldiers had already fought, and the battle was inextricable, and Xue Jinyan, who led the troops for the first time, at least did not fall behind.
Tang Weitian was a little relieved, and just as he was about to leave, a person ran on the city wall and grabbed him, "You are King Wu's guard?" ”
"Yes, my name is Tang Weitian, you are a subordinate of the King of Shu, what is your name Tie."
"My name is Iron Kite. You come with me. ”
"Where are you going?"
"The King of Shu is looking for you."
Tang Weitian hurriedly ran north with the iron kite, and after a few steps, he turned his head to look at the high platform in the city, and vaguely saw King Wu sitting on the edge of the ding, motionless, and the green smoke seemed to come out of his head.
Tang Weitian was bluffed, thinking that Wu Wang was really possessed, so he didn't dare to take a closer look, and strode to catch up with the iron kite, "The dead are really more capable than the living, you see, the incarnation king has really come to the world." ”
"Hey." The iron kite also glanced at the high platform, but also couldn't see clearly, and didn't say much.
The King of Shu was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and when he saw Tang Weitian, he immediately showed joy, "What's going on over there with King Wu?" ”
"Lent your body to the incarnate king, don't you already know?"
Of course Gan Zhao knew, but he didn't believe it at all, "And then what?" ”
And then ...... Just wait, wait for the incarnation king to exert his divine power, it stands to reason that he should also cast a spell, and finally come to the world once, you can't just watch. ”
"You don't know anything about King Wu's plan?"
"You know, fight the officers and soldiers, the Wu army is all out of the city, leaving only General Dai and General Song ......"
"Song Xing cut in the city?"
"Yes, I'm patrolling the city."
Gan Zhao's heart was a little wider, knowing that Song Xingju was going to cooperate with him to attack Beicheng, but he still couldn't be completely relieved, and said to his generals: "What's going on with King Ning?" ”
The first general replied: "I just got the news, King Ning has been fighting with the officers and soldiers, the two sides are not divided between victory and defeat, the Liang army is out of the city, and the Jin army is about to go out of the city." ”
The officers and soldiers were really calm, and they did not immediately send elites to besiege King Ning.
Gan Zhao scratched his head, without the backing of King Wu, he was quite suspicious of the original plan, and did not dare to capture Beicheng, so he suddenly thought of a way and said to Tang Weitian: "You go to Beicheng immediately and meet Niu Tiannu." ”
"What are you doing with her?"
"Uh...... She is Huang Tieniang's confidant, Huang Tieniang may ask her to bring a message to the king, no, no, the king does have something to say to her, you go and invite Niu Tiannu to come to the altar. ”
Tang Weitian didn't understand, and said with a straight face: "You are King Wu's guard, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Do you want to see King Wu as soon as possible?"
"Of course."
"Then find Niu Tiannu, she is more in love with the Golden Saint than mother and daughter, she wants to take the stage, others dare not stop her, you can also follow."
"yes, I'll go. But what if the cow goddess doesn't come? ”
"Then you come back to me immediately, and I'll find a way for you."
"Okay, you have a lot of options."
Tang Weitian turned around to leave, and Ganzhao stopped him, "Don't go to the city, there is a wall in the middle, go under the city." ”
Tang Weitian has fast legs and feet, and he doesn't ride a horse, he runs down to the north city, and meets Song Xingci on the road, Song Xingci is also waiting for orders, at a loss, after hearing Tang Weitian's purpose, he urged him to hurry up.
Tang Weitian couldn't run any faster, and when he arrived at the gate of the Beicheng camp, he couldn't get in, so he could only shout, claiming that the king of the world wanted to see Niu Tiannu, and brought a few words from Huang Tieniang.
It was really useful for him to shout like this, Niu Tiannu came to the camp gate in person, and replied in front of all the soldiers: "Please go back, Huang Tieniang has already entrusted me with a dream and explained the matter clearly, I am inconvenient to see the soul of the descending king again, please go and apologize on my behalf." ”
Tang Weitian had to run back again, and was complained by Song Xingju on the way, and when he arrived at the Shu army, Gan Zhao was not angry, but just sighed, "The general trend is gone, and King Wu is defeated." ”
"Who said to go? I don't believe it. ”
Gan Zhao didn't want to say more, just shook his head, and said to his generals: "Be prepared, keep an eye on the movement of Beicheng, if King Ning returns to the city, come and tell me immediately." ”
The generals obeyed the order, but Tang Weitian became more and more confused the more he listened, and he felt bad in his heart, so he grabbed one of Gan Zhao's arms, "King Shu, you have to explain to me clearly, what is going on?" ”
"To put it simply, the kings go their own way, the king of Jin will not come back when he goes out of the city, no one can guess the thoughts of the king of Liang, but King Ning, he will lead his troops back to the city without waiting for the battle to be decided, and then attack Xicheng, and capture the high platform and the king of Wu who does not know whether he is alive or dead on the high platform."
"Then let's go and fight King Ning first."
"No, without King Wu, I can only protect myself and never send a single soldier. You go and inform General Song and tell him to be careful. ”
Tang Weitian scratched his head, "Then let's go and rob King Wu first." ”
Gan Zhao smiled bitterly, "Whether it can be snatched back is another matter, if King Wu needs someone to save it, then it is better not to save it." ”
Tang Weitian didn't understand, he only understood one thing, he couldn't hesitate anymore, he had to climb the high platform.
He didn't discuss with others, he turned around and ran, Ganzhao didn't care about him, and while assigning soldiers to guard the camp, he pondered how to negotiate with King Ning in order to save his life and the army.
