By the time Gu Xiaoying really learned the Qi Channeling Technique, more than half an hour had passed, and the wailing outside the cave had already stopped, but Douglas's breath of life had only disappeared a moment ago, and then, dozens of figures rushed in from the outside, their mouths and hands were all stained with blood, and even some people had broken flesh at the corners of their mouths. ”

There are righteous young people in the lead, and the people behind them kneel on the ground with brushes, and they can't help but kowtow and thank you.

"Two bengongs, I kowtow to you, thank you, thank you."

"Thank you...... Thank you for killing those beasts and saving us from the sea of suffering. ”

"Engong, please let me follow you, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, without any complaints."

Liu Zhi picked up the righteous young man and looked around at everyone: "This is not in ancient times, even if you want to thank me, you don't need to kneel, okay, get up." ”

After everyone wiped their tears and got up, Liu Zhi turned his gaze to the back of the crowd and asked the righteous youth, "What's the matter with the person in the back?" ”

When everyone knelt down just now, there were still three men standing, and the left and right people clasped the hands of the man in the middle behind his back, Liu Zhi thought he was a diehard, but he didn't need to be forced at all, so he knelt down naturally, and kowtowed more often than anyone else, everyone got up but he still didn't give up, it was finally erected by someone.

The righteous young man replied: "He is one of the people who aided in the abuse, and he has a very good relationship with the Zhou Hui that Miss Gu killed, so we want to ask you, is this person also going to be killed?" ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel strange, since he had a close relationship with Douglas and others, why did he still kowtow to himself?

Begging for mercy? It doesn't look like it.

"Bring it on and show me." Liu Zhi greeted, and the two of them carried the man forward, Liu Zhi took a closer look, and found that his forehead had been broken, his face was covered with blood, and there were many scars on his body, his clothes were dirty, he should have been beaten before he came in, and there was a dark blood circle around his mouth, which seemed to have torn flesh from Douglas's body.

"Did he also participate in the retaliation?" Liu looked straight at the righteous youth.

The righteous young man replied: "Shen is involved, but he is cold-blooded, he is not a good person at all, he did this mostly to clear his suspicion, there was a girl who had a good relationship with her before and was killed by that Douglas, he didn't even leave a single tear, like a nobody, not only that, he also talked and laughed with Zhou Hui and their scum, do you say that such a person may be a good person?" ”

Liu Zhi looked around, saw that many people echoed their words, and had already made a decision in his heart, turned to the man with a bloody face and said, "Can you tell me the specific story?" ”

"No need." The man shook his head and said in a low voice: "The enemy is dead, and you and I have kowtowed, although it is not enough to repay your great kindness, but it is also worthy of my heart." ”

Liu Zhi furrowed his brows, these words seemed to be retreating as advance, but the meaning of being loveless seemed to be more, and when he couldn't make up his mind, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the side: "Wait a minute, are you Wuyang?" ”

It was Gu Xiaoying who spoke, she looked at the man with a bloody face, and asked with some uncertainty.

Wuyang!?

When Liu Zhi heard these two words, his body trembled rarely, and when he looked at the man again, he was already a little incredulous, but he couldn't be sure if it was the person with the same name, and it was not good to ask directly, so he could only wait for the development of the situation.

The man turned his head and glanced at Gu Xiaoying, smiled miserably, but didn't say anything.

Gu Xiaoying was anxious, turned to Liu Zhi and said: "Liu Zhi, I don't know about the others, but Wu Yang is definitely a good person, the day I escaped, he was the only one who found me, but he didn't report me, and his life experience, I also heard Nan Nan say something, it can't be a bad person." ”

Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What is your background?" ”

Gu Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, according to common sense, shouldn't she ask who Nan Nan is? How do you explore the world? But she didn't have time to think about it, she roughly said what she knew, and finally emphasized: "Liu Zhi, these are all told to me by Nannan, there is absolutely no half-truth, Wu Yang is really a good person, please believe him!" ”

After hearing Wu Yang's tragic life experience, everyone fell silent, they didn't doubt what Gu Xiaoying said, because with her current status, it was impossible to help Wu Yang exonerate for no reason.

Liu Zhi's face was a little "dignified", his brows were frowned, and his eyelids were drooping, but in fact, he was holding back his joy, in this kind of atmosphere, it was obviously not suitable to laugh out loud, even if he smiled, it was very inappropriate, he really didn't expect that Gu Xiaoying and Wu Yang were from the same camp, after all, in their previous lives, the two of them were working for hostile forces.

When Gu Xiaoying told Wu Yang's life experience, he was completely sure in his heart that the young man in front of him with a bloody face was none other than Wu Yang, the famous "poisoner" in his previous life.

In the first six years of the previous life, although the wars were extremely frequent, because of the existence of institutions such as the "Military Staff Committee", there were very few strategists, and Wu Yang was one of the most outstanding among them.

In the fifth year after the crossing, eighteen city-states, including Xinchun City, united to form the "Chinese Federation", which is said to be a federation, but in fact a "confederation" state, with different laws and a very loose state structure.

This situation will occur, mainly because the lords of the eighteen city-states are all eloquent and eloquent, and even if a few of them are relatively outstanding, they are only slightly more than one or two points at most, and they do not have the talent of Yiqun.

After the establishment of the "Huaxia Federation", the names of the eighteen lords soon became known to the world, and along with them, there were also those peerless generals and wise men.

Due to the number of generals, I will not mention it for the time being, just talk about the wise.

At that time, there were only six top masterminds recognized by the Federation, namely Liao Wenguan, Ding Zu, Wang Anran, Qiao Yueyi, Nan Dongliang, and Li Ke.

Eighteen cities, with a total population of more than 10 million, but only these six people can be called the top masterminds, is it because of the scarcity of talents in related fields?

No, on the contrary, there are a lot of smart people, coupled with the collective wisdom and collective efforts of the staff group, calculating and calculating, so there are naturally not many people who can win in the end, and there are only six people who can play with each other between applause and have no last resort.

Wu Yang is recognized as the mastermind who is qualified to be ranked with the same name as the six, and the reason why he is not on this list is because he has committed suicide in the fourth year after the crossing.

It was a war between Xinchun City and the North Acropolis, when nearly 50,000 soldiers in Xinchun City, under the leadership of the city lord Zheng Zhongli, launched a two-month fierce attack on the North Acropolis with only 13,000 defenders.

The Awakened travel thousands of miles a day, can carry a large amount of supplies, and can even plant on the spot, the most time-consuming marches and supplies in traditional warfare have been properly solved, and because of the existence of the war medical battalion, the wounded soldiers can continue to fight the next day as long as they are not missing arms and legs.

So at least one and a half months of these two months were spent in the fighting.

When this war happened, Wu Yang was not in the North Acropolis, but he gave full play to the role of a mastermind, he did a total of five things, one is to personally lobby the two major forces adjacent to the New Spring City, state the interests and seek assistance, the result was really moved by him, one of the two major forces tore up the armistice agreement, directly sent 30,000 troops to attack the New Spring City, and the other sent 8,000 aid troops to the North Acropolis in the name of mercenaries.

The second is to let the intelligence personnel lurking in Xinchun City take the opportunity to cause chaos, or assassination, or arson, or poisoning, so that the officials and people in Xinchun City have suffered serious losses, and countless warehouses and workshops have been destroyed, and people are panicked for a while, and civil strife is numerous.

The third is to let Nei Ying spread rumors among the troops going out in the New Spring City, dividing people's hearts, and specifically targeting the generals in the army who already have contradictions, every blow is accurately hit, and the speculation on people's hearts is so deep that it is terrifying.

The fourth is to recruit mercenaries from several nearby cities, and led by himself himself, stationed outside the city, and the North Acropolis into a corner, I don't know what means he used, this ragtag army was twisted into a ball in his hands, condensed a considerable combat power, and every time the timing of the battle was grasped just right, one point faster is faster, and one point slower is not enough, so that Zheng Zhongli is like a fish in the throat, uncomfortable and abnormal.

Fifth, he sent his carefully cultivated anti-reconnaissance unit to completely cut off the intelligence exchange between Xinchun City and Zheng Zhongli, and constantly sent false reports, which made the entire staff group anxious, Zheng Zhongli couldn't sleep at night, and his hair turned gray.

The nature of wisdom is generally divided into two kinds, one is the wisdom of foresight, which often requires a long period of layout and careful planning, and the other is the wisdom of thinking of a solution to a problem in a short period of time, which is the wisdom of responding to the situation.

Wu Yang is undoubtedly prepared for both, before the war began, he had already taken precautions, and made all aspects of the preparation extremely sufficient, so as soon as the war broke out, he was able to make the most timely and effective response in the shortest possible time, and every step of the subsequent planning, there was no mistake, and the manpower and material resources were brought into full play, although it still failed in the end, but it was not his fault, everything he could do has been done.

Less than three days after the start of the war, the 50,000 Xinchun City troops who went out on the expedition were directly reduced to a lonely boat in the sea under Wu Yang's planning, and they were not relatives.

However, the losses in this battle were extremely huge, and more than 18,000 people were killed in the battle in both Xinchun City and Zheng Zhongli, and more than 7,000 people were seriously injured and could not be recovered, which can be described as a tragic victory among the miserable victories.

And Wuyang, after Xu Tingqin, the lord of the Northern Acropolis, was defeated and committed suicide, he was bound by the renegade mercenaries and personally sent to Zheng Zhongli's tent.

For such a hero, Zheng Zhongli naturally fully demonstrates the posture of Corporal Lixian, the courtesy of the guests, the good hospitality, the wine and delicacies are allowed to eat and drink, and the beauties of the country are at their disposal, even Zhu Cheng is not far away to come to persuade in person, move with affection, speak with reason, know with righteousness, and only ask Wuyang to assist the master.

However, Wu Yang did not appreciate it, resolutely refused all requests for surrender, and committed suicide in prison that night.

From being captured to dying generously, he didn't say much, but one sentence was particularly impressive: Life can't repay kindness, and death is also clear!

Liu Zhi didn't know how big this "grace" was, and it was worthy of such a masterpiece to repay him with death, but now that he thinks about it, Xu Tingqin should have helped him kill Douglas and help him avenge his revenge, so that Wu Yang would be willing to die for this mediocre talent.

After Wu Yang's death, Zheng Zhongli cried loudly, heartbroken, whether it was a coy posture or sincerity, Liu Zhi didn't know, but it can also be seen from this how much weight Wu Yang occupies in his heart, and later Liu Zhi often heard people talk about it, Zheng Zhongli once sighed in private: If there is Zhu Cheng inside, Wu Yang outside, the people in the world are not worried!

This is just an ancient saying that has been circulated, and the taste is different when translated into the vernacular, but the meaning is still the same - Lao Tzu has such an all-round internal affairs talent as Zhu Cheng, if there can still be a strategist like Wu Yang, you garbage, Lao Tzu will not pay attention to it!

There is an element of pretending in this sentence, and later facts have proved that even with Wu Yang's help, there is not much time left for Zheng Zhongli to plot the world, and it is impossible to change the fate of mankind in the slightest, but these are not enough to deny Wu Yang's ability, he is indeed a natural strategist, knows people's hearts, has deep wisdom, is unscrupulous, and has no ambition. Do not seek yourself, do not seek the life of the world, only seek for the Lord, worthy of the name of "poisoner".

As for why he changed from a good person to a "poisoner" who does everything, Liu Zhi guessed that it was mostly related to Douglas.

Retracting his thoughts, Liu Zhi controlled his slightly agitated mood and sighed: "In order to avenge my beloved, I would rather live in the company of the enemy, this perseverance, I personally admire it very much, Wu Yang, I will give you a chance to repay your kindness now, are you willing to serve me?" ”

It is said that it is conclusive, but in fact, Liu Zhi doesn't know the relationship between Wu Yang and Nan Nan at all, and Gu Xiaoying didn't make it clear, he made guesses based on the details he heard, and only in this way can he correct Wu Yang's name and block everyone's mouth by the way.

Wu Yang raised his head in surprise and asked a little excitedly: "Don't you think that I deliberately played a bitter trick, but in fact, the real purpose is to let you not kill me?" ”

"My gut tells me you're not acting." Liu Zhi pulled out a rather nonsense reason, and smiled confidently: "Take a step back and say, if your acting skills are really so good, you can easily hide me, such a talent, I am reluctant to kill it." Speaking of this, he turned to everyone again: "You said that Wu Yang and that Zhou Hui have a good relationship, then I want to ask, in addition to having a good relationship, did Wu Yang take the initiative to help Zhou Hui and kill any of you?" ”

These words hit the nail on the head, and everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
