Chapter 161: The Battle of Eight Begins

Yang Ming stood in place, his face solemn, because of excessive anger, the young man's body trembled slightly, and he kept exhaling rapidly between his snorts. Cai Yin stood beside Yang Ming, her little face was suddenly surprised, the girl obviously felt Yang Ming's mood fluctuations, she lowered her voice, and cautiously asked, "Yang Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Mingqiang held back the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Shi took Yanxin Grass in advance, and he must have known that he would be injured, so the fact that he was injured by General Liu Chen must have been premeditated." Wang Shi deceived us, he simply deliberately attacked General Liu Chen, and then ordered Liu Chen to injure him, in order to deceive me and Xin'er. Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago, with General Liu Chen's strength, if he really wanted to kill Wang Shi, it would be impossible for Wang Shi to live, let alone escape from the camp. It must have been because Wang Shi had taken Yanxin Herb in advance, so he could escape alive. ”

Yang Ming clenched his fists tightly and said angrily. The boy gradually calmed down his inner turmoil, sorted out his thoughts, and began to analyze the events of last night again.

First of all, Wang Shi deliberately attacked Liu Chen, leading Liu Chen to attack himself, and then Wang Shi escaped from the camp with serious injuries and met me and Xin'er. Wait a minute, why did Wang Shi know that Xin'er and I were in the woods outside the camp? By the way, before that, I also met a young man named Bai in the forest, he called himself An Shice's apprentice, oh, I understand, Wang Shi met us, this is no accident, this is all calculated by An Shice, because he is a premonition wizard, he must have foreseen that I would cultivate in the forest, and the person named Bai came to see me in order to confirm that I was still in the forest, and it was also to delay my time in the forest, so An Shice also intervened in this matter, damn, this old thing, actually wanted to murder Jiang Guo again。

And after last night's incident, General Liu Chen was framed for colluding with the Rongguo people with the intention of rebellion, and now he is arrested and imprisoned, and the Red Horse Army's talisman also fell into the hands of Jiang Zi'an, who became the biggest profiteer. And this morning, Jiang Zi'an secretly ordered the 3,000 Red Horse Army to be transferred from the Mountain of No Return, and the city guards under him took over the camp.

After calming down his thoughts, Yang Ming deduced that Jiang Zi'an framed Liu Chen, and then transferred out of the Red Horse Army, precisely to raise troops and rebel.

"It's not good, I have to go to meet King Jiang immediately, otherwise it will be too late. After speaking, Yang Ming grabbed Cai Yin's little hand and was about to take her to meet King Jiang together.

"Oh, Yang Ming, where are you going in such a hurry?" Yang Ming had just stepped out of front foot, but he met Jiang Zi'an head-on, only to see Jiang Zi'an leading the guards and walking towards Yang Ming's camp.

Yang Ming was taken aback, but soon the young man removed the panic on his face, put on a calm look, and replied to Jiang Zi'an, "I've met Dazai-sama, and the student wants to meet the county lord of Xin'er." ”

"Hehe, the eight-person battle with Rongguo is about to begin, and the county lord of Xin'er has already gone to the venue of the competition with the king, and I came here to take you over. Jiang Zi'an put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.

Seeing Jiang Zi'an's smug expression, there was a great intention of the conspiracy to succeed.

Yang Ming was indignant in his heart, but the king and Xin'er had already gone to the competition venue, and now they were afraid it was too late to tell the king the truth.

The young man was silent for a moment, thought quickly in his heart for a while, and then slowly said to Jiang Zi'an, "Dazai-sama, let the students prepare a little." ”

"The competition is about to start, what else do you need to prepare?"

"Oh, that's right, the student has some stomach discomfort and wants to go to the toilet first to make it easier. Yang Ming covered his stomach, pretended to be anxious, and said with a dry smile at Jiang Zi'an.

"Okay, hurry up, don't miss the competition. Jiang Zi'an's face was helpless, and he immediately waved his hand, signaling Yang Ming to go quickly, and then he led the guards to walk towards the student camp, shouting, "Student Liu Qianyu, student Lin Dong, where is it? The eight-person battle is about to begin, I will take you to the competition venue." ”

After being called by name, even a person like Liu Qianyu, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but show nervousness on his little face, and he exhaled three long breaths in a row before he calmed down. Lin Dong's face was even stiffer, and his heart was extremely nervous.

The two of them simply tidied up their clothes, and then followed Jiang Zi'an to the competition venue, and the other Jiang Guo students were naturally unwilling to sit in the camp tent and followed along.

Yang Ming hid behind the camp with Cai Yin, he lowered his breath, his eyes carefully scanned the students walking in front of him, and soon, he saw Yan Zhendong at the back of the team.

The young man picked up a stone from the ground and threw it with his right hand, and the stone accurately hit the back of Yan Zhendong's head. Yan Zhendong immediately stopped, looked up in the direction where the stone was thrown, and saw Yang Ming hidden in the corner.

Yan Zhendong was about to shout Yang Ming's name, but the young man made a silent gesture at Yan Zhendong, and then beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over quietly.

Yan Zhendong immediately understood, he glanced around, and while the people around him were not paying attention, he quickly turned around, and ran to Yang Ming's side in a few arrow steps.

"Yang Ming, it's going to be a competition soon, why are you here?" Yan Zhendong asked suspiciously.

However, Yang Ming's face was solemn, his eyes were serious, he grabbed Yan Zhendong's arm, pulled him in front of him, and then lowered his voice and said, "The matter is urgent, I don't have time to explain to you, you listen carefully to every word I say now, listen, and General Liu Chen was framed for colluding with the Rongguo people with the intention of rebellion, and he was secretly captured last night, and now the Red Horse Soldier Talisman has fallen into the hands of Dazai Jiang Zi'an, if my inference is correct, the real rebel is Dazai Jiang Zi'an." "536 Literature x.

"What, how can this be?" Hearing Yang Ming's words, Yan Zhendong was immediately stunned.

"Jiang Zi'an left the Red Horse Army with a military talisman, and let the city guards rush to the Mountain of No Return, I deduced that Jiang Zi'an was planning to launch a mutiny. Yan Zhendong, you go to General Zhou Quan right now, let the leader come back, and you can't let the Red Horse Army leave the Mountain of No Return. Yang Ming said quickly to Yan Zhendong, and the young man thought that as long as the three thousand Red Horse Army were still in the Mountain of No Return, Jiang Zi'an would never dare to launch a mutiny easily.

Hearing this, Yan Zhendong's face suddenly became difficult, he shook his head, and said, "Yang Ming, even if I know General Zhou Quan, but I don't have an edict from the king, and I don't have a military talisman, General Zhou Quan won't listen to me." Yang Ming, you should also know that military orders are like mountains, and the army only recognizes the general's orders, not human feelings. ”

As Yan Zhendong said, the Xiuwu Academy cultivates military generals, and once strictly trained and said that military orders are like mountains, and orders are prohibited. Since Zhou Quan received a military order to withdraw his troops, he would not lead the army back without authorization unless he received a new military order.

"What can I do about this? Now that the Red Horse Army is in Jiang Zi'an's hands, he will never order the Red Horse Army to come back. Yang Ming slapped his palm heavily and said indignantly.

Yan Zhendong thought for a moment, and then said, "If there is no military talisman, then only General Liu Chen may be able to order the Red Horse Army." I had practiced in the Red Horse Army, and I knew very well that General Liu Chen had a very high prestige in the Red Horse Army, and I thought that if General Liu Chen had personally given the order, General Zhou Quan might have obeyed it. ”

Yang Ming glanced up at the sky, counting the time, now General Liu Chen should be on the way to escort back to the capital.

Yang Ming lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Okay, I understand." ”

"I will find a way to solve the matter of transferring back to the Red Horse Army. Yan Zhendong, you rush back to the national capital right now, and tell your father, Lord Xiangguo, about Jiang Zi'an's intention to raise troops and rebel. I think with the strategy of Lord Xiangguo, he will definitely make a difference. ”

"Mmmm, I see, I'll go now. Yan Zhendong nodded his head and immediately said, "Yang Ming, you have to be careful." ”

After saying goodbye, Yan Zhendong didn't dare to delay and hurriedly left.

After Yan Zhendong left, Yang Ming turned to look at Cai Yin, his little face was solemn, and he said seriously, "Cai Yin, I'm going to participate in the competition soon, there is something I want to leave to you, can you help me?"

Although Cai Yin couldn't understand the meaning of Yang Ming's conversation with Yan Zhendong just now, the girl could see the seriousness in Yang Ming's eyes, and she knew that this matter was very serious.

Cai Yin nodded seriously and said, "Well, Yang Ming, don't worry, I'll do it." ”

Yang Ming smiled slightly, then attached it to the girl's ear and whispered softly......

When Yang Ming arrived at the competition venue, Jiang Rong and the students who participated in the competition were ready, there was a huge square stone platform built in the center of the venue, it was for the purpose of the competition, the students of Jiang Rong and the two countries sat on both sides of the stone platform, and the stone platform was on the high seat in front of the high seat, Jiang Wang sat in the center, and on the right side sat the Liang envoy Cheng Yu and the Rongguo envoy Huang Zheng, at this time Huang Zheng smiled and sat safely, with the meaning of winning the battle, and on the left side of Jiang Wang, in turn was Dazai Jiang Zi'an, and a group of accompanying ministers, in the last seat, is the manager of the Xiuwu Academy Weng Lao。

Yang Ming walked quickly to the side of the stone platform and turned with Xin'er.

"Yang Ming, where have you been, why are you so slow?" Xin'er asked immediately.

Yang Ming patted the back of his head, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I went to the toilet." ”

After thinking about it in the young man's heart, he thought that Jiang Zi'an's rebellion should not tell Xin'er for the time being, so as not to mess up her heart and affect the next competition with Rongguoren.

After all, Xin'er used to trust and respect her uncle so much, if she knew the truth about Jiang Zi'an's rebellion, how disappointed and heartbroken the girl would be. Thinking of this, Yang Ming felt a little unbearable in his heart.

When the time came, the examiner walked to the center of the stone platform, and first glanced at the students on both sides who were preparing for the battle, Jiang Guo participated in the competition There are four students, Yang Ming, Jiang Xin'er, Liu Qianyu, and Lin Dong. On Rongguo's side, the four students are, Gao Li, Gao He, Zhu Lianying, and Wang Mang.

The students of both sides have been decided, and the examiner shouted in a condensed voice, "I announce that Jiang Rong and the two countries will face off against each other, and the competition will begin." ”
