Volume 3 The Wind and Rain Rise and the Eight Desolations Chapter 209 The layout of the king of the northern frontier

Fan Gongcao drank softly, and others didn't say it, but Captain Chen's heart was suddenly shocked.

He is in the military, he knows more than Fan Gongcao, and understands that the prince of Northern Xinjiang is very likely to win over the Beiluo Gang, and he has no intention of inquiring in the gladiatorial arena today, who knows that seeing things get out of control in an instant, beyond his imagination. And Fan Gongcao is his friend, so he specially came to stop Fan Gongcao from going to see the proprietress, after all, who knows what kind of Longtan tiger's den is there now.

At this time, Fan Gongcao, who had an upright temperament, actually opened his mouth to say such a thing, wouldn't it be self-defeating.

Captain Chen's body tensed, and he glanced at Liang Yihong, the chief manager of the gladiatorial arena.

This young man, who looked like a weak scholar, was expressionless, and even chuckled: "If Master Fan has any suspicions, go in and meet the proprietress and ask him." ”

Fan Gongcao nodded and said, "I'm going to ask you Beiluo Gang Leader what she's going to do!" ”

Captain Chen dared to enter the room and said, "No." ”

"Why not?" Fan Gongcao also asked.

Captain Chen was terrified, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he looked at Liang Yihong and said, "Your Beiluo Gang is in chaos now, if you don't hurry up and stabilize the interior, what do you want me and Master Fan to do?" ”

Liang Yihong's face finally sank a little at this point, and said: "Help the master's life, please don't embarrass me." ”

Hearing that the other party had such a tough attitude, Captain Chen's heart was cold.

Since the king of northern Xinjiang responded to the call of the king of Liaodong to "choose the prince to succeed to the throne" two months ago and began to mobilize troops and horses in violation of regulations, people in northern Xinjiang have been panicking these days. It stands to reason that these three counties are all fiefdoms of the king of Northern Xinjiang, and they are all regarded as the courtiers of the king of Northern Xinjiang. But after all, there are still many people who are loyal ministers of the imperial court, and some people even jointly played to the king of Northern Xinjiang, asking him not to act recklessly. There were even some old ministers standing at the gate of the Northern Xinjiang Palace, kneeling and begging the Northern Xinjiang King to dismiss the troops, and even more fierce people angrily shouted that the Northern Xinjiang King intended to rebel and cholera Northern Xinjiang.

Some of them have died quietly, while others are alive and well.

As for those vassals of Northern Xinjiang who have been silent, the king of Northern Xinjiang actually doesn't care about them, and it seems that he has no intention of eradicating dissidents for the time being.

But when the king of Northern Xinjiang began to win over the Beiluo Gang, everyone could understand that the king of Northern Xinjiang was really going to make a move.

After pacifying the rivers and lakes in northern Xinjiang, the next thing must be the temple.

Although Captain Chen has never spoken out, his heart is still towards the court, for no other reason, but because his father is an official in the court and is a general. And Fan Gongcao even participated in the joint letter to ask the king of Northern Xinjiang to collect his troops.

If the Beiluo Gang really surrendered to the king of Northern Xinjiang, would they still have a way to live?

Thinking of this, Captain Chen broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that the king of Northern Xinjiang really had a deep city and great courage. He first gathered his army without saying a word, neither killed nor refused the envoys of the court, but only placed him under house arrest in northern Xinjiang. He ignored the inquiries or protests of his vassals in northern Xinjiang, and only killed a few officials who were too radical in their words and deeds, most of whom were figures in military power.

In other words, there is only one thing that the king of Northern Xinjiang has done in the past two months, and that is to hold the military strength of Northern Xinjiang firmly in his hands and make the soldiers sit on their backs.

With military power in hand, there is a powerful deterrent.

Then, he began to woo the North Luo Gang.

The Northern Luo Gang has deep roots in Northern Xinjiang, has an inextricable relationship with the officialdom of Northern Xinjiang, and has hundreds of cultivators, many of whom are powerful.

If the Beiluo gang does not comply, then there is no need to think too much, the 200,000 army will destroy this gang first.

But think about it from another position, under the coercion and temptation, the Beiluo Gang is still more likely to compromise.

When the Northern Luo Gang returns to obedience, through the intelligence network and connections of the Northern Luo Gang, it will be a very simple thing for Shun Teng to start cleaning up the dissidents in the officialdom of Northern Xinjiang. And by the Beiluo Gang, you can also put the guilt of killing the minister on them, although the whole world will know who is behind the scenes, but the history books can be written in a different way.

After all, when the king of Northern Xinjiang really ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it would not sound good to say this matter after all.

Moreover, there are many people in the court in northern Xinjiang, like Chen Xiaowei, and there are relatives and family members who are still in the south, if they kill too much, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and hatred among many people.

At this point, a scapegoat can be pushed out from the North Luo Gang.

Don't hate me King of Northern Xinjiang, I didn't kill those ministers at the beginning, you know that I am the most merciful and tolerant, it is the hand of the Beiluo Gang who blindly guesses my mind, you see, it is the hand of this so-and-so elder, you want to kill or chop it casually.

Again, although no one believes it, but you have to believe it when that day comes.

You know that layer of papier-mâché window paper is a trick, but you can't pierce it, because you don't have the right to question it.

It is also a political maneuver.

After figuring things out, Captain Chen realized how much city and strategy there was between himself and the king of Northern Xinjiang.

This is not some conspiracy, this is a very simple and crude strategic layout, first grasp the troops, in order to shock the world. Re-enter the rivers and lakes to palm the Quartet. If you want to go to the Qing Dynasty again, don't dare to disobey!

In the end, the internal stability of northern Xinjiang can lead the army south and go straight to Kyoto!

Captain Chen was shocked, and after the blood in his body cooled down, it boiled in an instant, anyone can oppose him, after all, his father is still in the capital!

Suddenly, Captain Chen shouted angrily and smashed his fist at Liang Yihong.

Liang Yihong suddenly raised his hand and kicked out.

Captain Chen's body flew out upside down and fell on a row of chairs, while Fan Gongcao was still a little stunned, he only felt that his face was a little wet and hot, and when he raised his hand to touch it, it was a lot of blood red.

It was Captain Chen's blood, and his left hand was broken off from the middle of his lower arm, but he didn't even see how Liang Yihong came out with the knife!

"You... You—" Gong Cao was shocked and frightened, and took two steps back, while the guards around him stood in front of him.

"I advise you to go in and talk to the boss lady, there are still first-line students." Liang Yihong spoke.

Fan Gongcao snorted, flicked his sleeves, and shouted: "What is there to talk about with the thief!" ”

"Okay." Liang Yihong looked at Fan Gongcao, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Who knew that at this moment, Liang Yihong felt a sense of crisis, turned around suddenly, and with the sound of breaking the air, a crossbow arrow no longer than a finger pierced his left arm.

Liang Yihong glanced down at the crossbow arrow that pierced into the flesh two inches, and his heart sank: "Shenxiao crossbow." ”

He was originally a martial artist in the Heavenly Change Realm, his skin and flesh had already been tempered, where could an ordinary crossbow arrow hurt him from such a distance, only the Shenxiao crossbow with an astonishing cost could do it. But this is not what Liang Yihong is most worried about, the appearance of the Shenxiao crossbow means that it is very likely that a group of terrifying guys have come here.

There is also Liang Yihong noticed another bad thing - this arrow is poisonous. But in the blink of an eye, he felt some numbness at the edge of the arrow.

He coldly looked up in the direction where the crossbow arrow was fired, and at the same time, he kept his hand, cutting his sleeve and quickly binding his left arm to slow down the spread of venom.

The audience was completely confused.

Because some people got their hands dirty.

Some of them should have their hearts towards the imperial court, and they also guessed that the Beiluo Gang was going to rebel, so they couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the gate with the intention of powerful guards.

There were also some inconspicuous characters caught in the crowd who suddenly burst out and attacked the personnel of the gladiatorial arena.

What's even more puzzling is that there are also people within the Beiluo Gang who interact with each other.

Among them, there were many masters fighting, and many ordinary people who had no cultivation were affected, and there was a panicked shouting on the field, people were running wildly, and blood began to splash.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ling saw that the court was getting more and more chaotic, and thought to himself, can this game still be played?

After a while, the white-robed woman was escorted back, and the person who escorted her tied her to a chair, and then turned away with the only two strong men behind the players, and there was no one to guard them.

"?" Bober was also taken aback.

"Shall we wait or what?" The young man with the wound on his leg asked, scratching his head.

Just then, the system beep came again.

【Main Quest Changes】

【Get optional main quest:】

[Players need to get out of the restriction and choose to join the camp within 20 minutes]

[1. Defect to the Beiluo Gang and protect the gang leader Nangong Ran, that is, choose to help the forces of the Prince of Northern Xinjiang]

[2. Take refuge in the Shenxiao camp and assassinate Nangong Ran, that is, choose to help the forces of the three princes]

[If the faction is not clearly indicated after ten minutes, it will become a free man in the next battlefield, and there will be no main quest, and the rules of the individual competition will be retained, and the last surviving player can win before no player completes the main quest.] 】

"I'm going? The main quest can also be changed. Boer was stunned for a moment, then said, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and break free." ”

"How do you break free?" Jiang Ling glanced at the chains on his hands and waist, which were made of metal and were extremely hard. And the chair under their buttocks is made of stone, and it is not easy to shatter.

At the same time, Jiang Ling quickly thought about this system prompt in his mind, and Huang Lie had told him that the Northern Qin Empire was currently in turmoil, and there were two princes who were unwilling to assist the third prince to ascend the throne and intended to rebel. It seems that this prince of Northern Xinjiang must be one of them, and this Northern Luo Gang has obviously stood on the side of the king of Northern Xinjiang. If you help the Northern Luo Gang, you will help the Prince of Northern Xinjiang.

And what is the Shenxiao camp on the other side, this name Jiang Ling doesn't know what it represents, but since it is the person of the third prince, it should be a special force in the court or an organization directly under the royal family, and these people naturally come to deal with the Beiluo Gang.

But no one knows which of these two forces is stronger.

And back to the question just now, how can we break free from this incomparably solid chain that limits human strength?

"Is this Hailou Stone?" Jesta muttered after trying hard and failing. A powerful martial artist like him can't break free, and Jiang Ling definitely can't do it with strength alone.

Then Jiang Ling discovered that with the previous main quest being covered, his Qiankun bag could be used.

"Zhou Yu!" Jiang Ling snorted softly, and an illusory figure appeared beside him.

"Wow, yes, I forgot you were a chosen child." Bob said happily.

Jiang Ling gave the Sword of Cleansing to Zhou Yu and asked him to help him untie the chains. Because Jiang Ling's spiritual power was limited, Zhou Yu only had the strength to turn to the lower realm at this time, but it was enough. The sin cleansing sword produced by the Divine Court was extremely sharp, and Zhou Yu held the sin cleansing sword in his hand to pry open the lock and release Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling stood up and turned around to untie Bobor again.

Then Jiang Ling held the sword of cleansing and glanced at Boer. Bob clapped his hands and looked at the other three players next to him, who gave Bob a somewhat cautious look.

Bober smiled and said, "Okay, now let's discuss, should we join the same camp?" Otherwise—" A hint of coldness flashed in Bobber's eyes, and he said, "We're enemies." ”
