Chapter 122: Fraud?
"Report~~!!" came the voice of the herald outside the military tent.
Shaking Light Star Monarch and Kaiyang Star Monarch glanced at each other, and both looked at Nanchen.
Nanchen raised his eyes and frowned: "What's the matter?"
The herald opened the curtain and walked in, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand to Nanchen: "Report to the general! General Xuanlei of the Demon Clan sent a message saying that he had caught the sin fairy Mu Ling and was willing to hand it over to the general for disposal, so as to ask our troops to retreat." ”
"What?" Kaiyang Xingjun's eyes lit up, the demon clan caught Mu Ling, and he was willing to hand it over to the Heavenly Clan, just to retreat?
The Shaking Light Star Monarch who was standing on the side pinched Yang Xingjun vigorously and made a silent gesture.
Kaiyang Xingjun glanced at Nanchen and quickly covered his mouth. General Nanchen hadn't spoken yet, how could he speak first.
Nanchen said lightly: "Oh, where is the Mu Ling that was caught?"
"General Yu, you are on the bank of the Lishui River, and General Xuanlei of the Demon Clan asks the general to go to the riverside for a while. "The herald said.
Nanchen stood up, and Shaking Light Xingjun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, I'm afraid there is fraud." ”
Nanchen glanced at him: "It's okay, if you don't go and take a look, how do you know what tricks they are playing." ”
"It's better to let the two of me go to visit first, and the general can't go rashly. Shaking Light Star Jun took another step.
Nanchen waved his hand: "Let's go together." After speaking, he took the lead in opening the curtain and walked out.
Shaking Light Xingjun frowned, always feeling a little uneasy.
Kaiyang Xingjun bumped his shoulder and said: "What are you frowning for, what kind of character is the general, how can it be so easy to be plotted? Besides, you and I will go together, what else is there to worry about, it seems that you are right, the general has already estimated in his heart, maybe he will be able to withdraw from the army tomorrow, it really won't take ten days," after thinking about it, he said sourly to Shaking Light Xingjun: "I also lost you a star stone, but you picked up a big bargain." ”
After speaking, he patted the back of Shaking Light Xingjun and walked out with Nanchen.
Shaking Light Xingjun raised his head and sighed, can things really be so simple?What did the Demon Clan do earlier? While waging war against the Celestial Clan, he searched for Mu Ling in the clan?
It's weird to think about it.
"Shake the light, are you going?"
Kaiyang Xingjun's voice came, and Shaking Light Xingjun frowned, forget it, let's go over and see what the situation is first.
The Lishui River is a border river between the Heavenly Clan and the Demon Clan. The river is wide and long, deep and rapid.
There is only one river across the river, but the scenery on both sides of the river is very different.
On the side of the Celestial Clan, the grass is green, the wind is light, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are luxuriant, and they are full of vitality.
On the side of the demon clan, it is thousands of miles of scorched earth, black clouds are overwhelming, the wind is raging, and it is desolate.
Nanchen stood by the river and narrowed his eyes.
"General Nanchen. On the other side of the river, General Xuan Lei of the Demon Clan spoke: "Your Heavenly Clan's Mu Ling Yuanjun, assassinate the king of my clan and kill the elders of my Xuan clan. Now that we have captured her, you should be beheaded to make an example, but I remember that you and her were childhood sweethearts, and they must have a deep relationship, I Xuanlei sold your personal favor, and I handed her over to you, only asking you to withdraw from the Celestial Clan, how about it?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and pushed out a black iron cage covered by a black curtain from the group of demon soldiers behind him.
General Xuan Lei pulled out the whip on his body and pulled it towards the cage, the moment the whip touched the black iron cage, black thunder and lightning suddenly rose on the cage, and a woman's terrible scream came from the cage: "Ah!!! you have the ability to kill me! You kill me!!" Then there was the clanging sound of chains colliding with the iron cage.
Xuan Lei raised the whip in his hand at Nanchen: "What does the general think?"
Nanchen smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth raised a good-looking arc, but those words made Xuan Lei frightened: "The general doesn't have to think so much, he wants to sell his favor," raised his eyebrows: "It's better to Mu Ling Zhengfa here, and it can be regarded as an explanation from my Heavenly Clan to your Demon Clan." That's it, and we naturally retreated. ”
Kaiyang Xingjun also listened secretly, what about the good childhood sweetheart, and the two little guesses who said good? This, this is ??? turned his head to look at Shaoguang Xingjun with a confused face.
Shaking Light Xingjun glanced at him, and had already told him, how could General Nanchen be the kind of person who was in the twilight, he thought in his heart that His Royal Highness Mo Qi of the Cangli Clan personally asked the Emperor for marriage, how could there be someone else in his heart.
Xuan Lei never expected Nanchen to say this, and now he is a little embarrassed.
Really killed the people in the cage? What can you do, the one in the cage is Princess Qi, but if you regret it now, what about Princess Qi's previous plan, if she ruins her plan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let her go.
"Nanchen !!!" A woman's sharp roar suddenly came from the cage: "If you let them kill me, you will never want to know how Mo Shu and Han Yao died, and who killed them! Mo Shu will never wake up! Your Mo Qi will never be at ease!!"
Nanchen raised his eyes to look at the iron cage that made Mu Ling's sound.
"Kill! You told them to kill me! Mu Ling laughed like crazy. There was a sound of chains clashing in the iron cage.
Xuan Lei inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat behind his back: "Okay, since the general said so, then let Ben Shuai take the life of this sin immortal!"
"Wait. Nanchen said lightly: "Since the general wants to sell Ben Jun's favor, Ben Jun will follow the general's wishes, you send someone to escort Mu Ling across the river, and we will retreat." ”
The cold sweat behind Xuan Lei slowly subsided, and he grinned on his face: "It's easy to say." Ben Shuai then sent someone to escort her over. He waved his hand behind him.
Four demon soldiers trotted over, dragged out a wooden cart, and loaded the iron cage onto the cart.
Nanchen turned back to Shaking Light Xingjun and said, "Build the fairy bridge and let them come over." ”
Shaking Light Xingjun nodded, the magic trick in his hand changed, and a white jade stone bridge slowly appeared above the wide Lishui River, and when the stone bridge extended to the demon clan's enchantment, it made a crackling sound.
The magic trick in the hand of Shaking Light Xingjun did not move, and said to Xuan Lei on the other side of the river: "Please also ask General Xuan Lei to pick up the stone bridge." ”
"Good. Xuan Lei threw up the black long whip, and the whip circled the half-cut stone bridge that the Shaking Light Star Monarch had turned into, and immediately turned into a half-cut black stone bridge.
The four demon soldiers pulled the prisoner cart to the boundary of the black and white stone bridge and stopped still.
Kaiyang Xingjun nodded to the people behind him, and the four Celestial Clan soldiers ran onto the stone bridge and pulled the prisoner cart back.
As soon as the prisoner cart landed, Shaking Light Xingjun removed the magic trick in his hand, and the white jade bridge on the river dissipated in an instant.
The black stone bridge turned into a long black whip and flew back into General Xuanlei's hand.
"People, we have handed it over to you, and I hope that the general will speak and retreat. Xuan Lei said.
"Don't worry, this gentleman always counts when he speaks, as long as you keep to yourself, we will withdraw tomorrow. Nanchen said lightly.
Xuan Lei clenched the fist in his hand, forget it, she had already been sent over according to Princess Qi's plan, and the matter of retiring from the army was not in a hurry for this day, presumably the princess already had a countermeasure in her heart.
"Okay!" Xuan Lei nodded at Nanchen, turned around and walked back.
Nanchen looked at Xuan Lei's back and turned his head to look at the black iron cage.
"Take her to the camp first. Nanchen said to Kaiyang Xingjun: "No one is allowed to approach without the permission of this monarch. ”
Kaiyang Xingjun looked at Nanchen's cold face, although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he still said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Nanchen walked back to the military tent, sat down at the table, and took a cup of tea, which turned around in his hand and then gently put it down.
With his breath, it was true that Mu Ling was in the cage, but how could Qian Yu agree to the demon clan handing over Mu Ling? Could it be that his previous guess was wrong? Mu Ling was not that important to Qian Yu at all?
Impossible, if Mu Ling was not important to Qianyu, how could he help Mu Ling kidnap Xiao Qi.
Before the demon clan raised an army, it was under the guise of asking for an explanation for the demon king, and now that Mu Ling has been arrested, it should be negotiated with the Heavenly Clan after correcting the law on the spot, how could he just hand over Mu Ling so casually, and only ask the Heavenly Clan to withdraw the army?
Nanchen was a little puzzled. Could it be that this is Mu Ling's trick?
"General. Outside the tent, the voice of the Shaking Star King sounded.
"Come in. Nanchen said lightly.
"General," Shaking Light Xingjun saluted Nanchen: "Nu Xiaoxian bluntly said that the reason why the Demon Clan raised the army was that Mu Ling assassinated the Demon King and killed the Xuan Clan Elder, and they wanted to discuss an explanation with the Heavenly Clan. ”
"But they haven't been able to catch Mu Ling before, and they said that Mu Ling fled back to the Heavenly Clan, so they raised troops to attack, but now they have caught Mu Ling, is this a bit contradictory?"
"So, what do you think?" Nanchen raised his eyes to look at Shaking Light Star-King.
"I think there must be fraud in it!" Shaking Light Xingjun looked at Nanchen Dao.
"What do you think their 'trick' is?" Nanchen looked at Shaoguang and nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Shaking Light Xingjun shook his head slightly: "This, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I really haven't come up with it yet......"
"What's the deception? Kaiyang Xingjun came in from outside the tent with a curtain, and said to Nanchen with a simple salute: "The power of the demon clan is not as good as my clan, and I know that it is not a way to go on like this, and now that the demon king is unconscious, the internal affairs of their clan must be in chaos, and it is not cost-effective to spend all their strength on the war that they can't win, as for catching Mu Ling but not killing her, maybe it's because the demon clan thinks that our general is the same as Mu Ling's childhood sweetheart, if she is killed, the general is furious and beheads them 100,000 demon soldiers, I'm afraid." ”
"What do you think?" Nanchen looked at Kaiyang Xingjun.
Kaiyang Xingjun nodded: "That's right." ”
Nanchen turned his head to look at the Shaking Light Starjun.
Shaking Light Xingjun shook his head: "Xiaoxian is really," thought for a while: "I still think that things are not so simple." ”
"You're just thinking too much, it's really ......"
Kaiyang Xingjun was about to say something, but he happened to be interrupted by a voice outside the tent: "General, that Mu Ling is shouting in the cage, clamoring to see you." She also said that if you don't go over, she will kill herself, so that you will never know the truth. ”
Kaiyang Xingjun and Shaking Light Xingjun both looked at Nanchen.
Nanchen stood up and said to Shaking Light Xingjun: "It's not that you can't figure out what kind of 'trick' she has, let's go and see if we know." ”
