Chapter 70: The White Horse and the Man Behind the Scenes (Collect!) )

The audience was dumbfounded.

Hearing Ling Xuan's bold guess, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

We all felt that Ling Xuan's guess was too bold, but after thinking about it carefully, what he said was really reasonable, and we had to think deeply about how much of the possibility was.

Xiao Yan wrote in the edict of praise to Chen Qingzhi that he "is not a general, and he is not a wealthy family", which shows that Chen Qingzhi is not a son of a wealthy family, but was born in a humble family, and his reputation was not obvious before the age of forty, but he was shocked by the world when he came out of the mountain, and the seven thousand white-robed troops attacked thirty-two cities, where they were all victorious, after forty-seven battles, all the battles were victorious, and the lonely army fought all the way into Luoyang City, linking the experience of the first half of his life, which really does not make sense.

While we were guessing, Chun Ting was still looking at the record on the table seriously, and he suddenly spoke, as if he had found something in his tone.

"Look back, how did he fail in this Northern Expedition?"

I looked at the ancient books on the table, which recorded that his Northern Expedition was ordered by Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu to escort the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuan Hao to compete for the throne of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It's a pity that Yuan Hao was stubborn and self-serving, and he was suspicious of Chen Qingzhi, and he fought alone with the Northern Wei general Er Zhurong, and won a big victory, but in the end, because of Yuan Hao's failure, he could only retreat, and as a result, he encountered a flash flood in the Yellow River. The Liang army, which was crossing the river, was swallowed up by the flood, and only Chen Qingzhi himself survived.

Chen Qingzhi, who lost the Liang army, had no choice but to disguise himself as a monk to escape the search and arrest of Er Zhurong's army, fled to Yuzhou, and got the help of the locals in Yuzhou before returning to Southern Liang.

"Died in a flash flood? Only he survived? ”

As the old saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and this abnormal record is indeed full of weirdness.

Regardless of whether Chen Qingzhi himself is really proficient in the art of war, the White Horse General, who was able to lead forty-seven troops to draw thirty-two cities, did not die at the hands of the enemy in the end, but encountered a flash flood, this mysterious flash flood actually engulfed all his subordinates, and he was the only one who escaped?

I've always been a person who doesn't believe in coincidences, and after reading the record, I only had one thought in my heart.

It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and this account seems to me to have only two possibilities.

First, it was Chen Qing who killed all his soldiers in the pit, and then released rumors of a flash flood to block the mouths of people all over the world.

Second, someone is secretly harming him, but at the same time, there is another force secretly protecting him, but this force only protects him alone in the end.

Either way, it can't be as simple as dying in a flash flood as recorded in the history books.

It was originally a well-known battlefield legend, but now it seems confusing.

Qi Zhi read it with me, and she sorted out the key points, and at the same time made a bold guess.

"According to Brother Chuan, coupled with Brother Ling Xuan's speculation, maybe it was the real Chen Qingzhi who fled back to Nanliang alone in the end, and the reason why he had great respect for the Central Plains characters was because he knew in his heart that the real people behind the scenes were no longer by his side, and he had turned back into that weak scholar, and he would no longer be the prestige of the White Horse Army God of the Central Plains."

If Ling Xuan's guess was true, then Qi Zhi's supplement was also justified and irrefutable.

Xue Nan thought about it, and had already acquiesced in Ling Xuan's bold guess in his words, and asked what to do next.

"Ling Xuan, even if there is a real person behind Chen Qingzhi as you said, what does that mean, and what does it have to do with us?"

Ling Xuan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and continued to talk to us about his speculation.

"Listening to Han Chuan's description, this man in white is by no means an extraordinary person, what he does is unfathomable, as such a master, he will definitely not come to this Lingyun Pavilion because of two well-known nursery rhymes, he must want to make us pay attention to some unknown links through these two sentences, if there is really one person behind Chen Qingzhi, then this matter makes sense."

"Assuming that the person behind the scenes does exist, maybe this mysterious man just wants us to pay attention to the person behind Chen Qingzhi, but since this person is willing to hide behind the scenes, he must have his own reasons, and at the same time, this person has not left a record in the history books, so he must be good at hiding himself, this man is hinting at us in this way, let's start from this direction."

Although there are still many places that cannot be explained, the current speculation is the most likely explanation that everyone can think of, and we nodded unconsciously, acquiescing to his bold idea.

Chunting got up from the main seat, looked at our confused reactions, and couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer.

"Words on paper, nothing in words."

I was very unconvinced when I heard it, but after thinking about it, I had no reason to refute it.

He looked at me as I was about to speak, and no longer looked at me, but commanded the people to do as he commanded me.

"Ling Yan will send more people out to see if he can find any trace of this mysterious man."

"Ling Xuan and Xue Nan, go to the second and third floors of Lingyun Tower to check carefully, and see if there are any other records in the official history and the wild history."

"Shen Lang's mind is not flexible enough, don't follow it, go to the martial arts hall to cultivate seriously, and you will have to use your skills in the future."

"As for Han Chuan, rest well, you will be busy in a few days."

When everyone heard Chunting's command, they all nodded yes, and dispersed to do what they had to do.

And I saw that Chunting didn't mean to assign tasks to me and Qi Zhi, so I couldn't help but speak curiously.

"Chunting, isn't there anything you want me to do now?"

Chun Ting shook his head, his expression was rare and relaxed.

"Not now, it will be in a few days, you haven't opened this statue yet, take it back, have a good rest, you can only do it yourself."

It dawned on me.

This road of exploration full of crises, the biggest gain we have gotten is the gold box containing the statue of the pig, after coming back, because Ling Yan talked about this mysterious man, such an important thing was actually ignored by me for a while, listening to the meaning of Chunting, there may be some kind of mechanism in this gold box, and it is a mechanism that only I can unlock.

Chunting was probably afraid that I would misunderstand, so he deliberately opened his mouth to explain it to me.

"Don't worry, there is no mechanism on this gold box, but it needs an opening ceremony, and only your blood can open it to get the real hedgehog statue."

I was a little puzzled and asked Chunting.

"Isn't it just with my blood, then you can start now, why wait a few days?"

Chunting smiled, looking at me as if he were looking at a careless child.

"Don't worry, it's easy to open the gold box, but this statue still contains some of your memories and powers, if you want to fuse it, it will take a lot of time, wait until you are rested before dealing with it."

"It's rare to be idle now, I've already told them to do things, you and Qi Zhi will enjoy the world of the two, and I'll come back to you in a few days."

After speaking, Chun Ting actually turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation, not knowing where he was going, leaving me and Qi Zhi in place, looking at each other.
