Chapter 43 - The Mystery of Xiao Guan
Chen Xiao didn't know who the woman in front of him was, but he recognized at a glance who owned the jade pendant in front of him. Obviously, the red words engraved on this jade pendant were enough to surprise Chen Xiao in front of him. There is a very eye-catching word "hole" written in red font above, and as soon as this word appeared, the Chen Xiao in front of him was suddenly taken aback. Raising his finger, he pointed at the woman in the white dress in front of him and whispered, "You, you are originally from the Kong family, what do you want to do?"
At this moment, out of an invisible fear of the Kong family, Chen Xiao now completely ignored the temptation of the woman in the white dress in front of him, after all, he was completely controlled by the three young people in front of him. Now the only thing Chen Xiao thinks about is that the Kong family is an extremely crucial force that supports their royal family, the Chen family, and no matter what, the Kong family can't be double-minded.
But what Chen Xiao couldn't have imagined was that the woman in the white dress in front of him didn't say a word to him, and asked directly in a cold voice: "General Xiao Pass, it is inevitable that until now the reinforcements have arrived here, let me ask you, now with more than 5,000 troops in your hands, can you hold this Xiao Pass?"
Chen Xiao didn't know what the intention of the woman in the white dress in front of him was, and he didn't know whether this woman was helping them or helping the foreign Qi Kingdom. So, Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, and still said proudly: "Yes, I believe that with my good five thousand elites, it is not a problem for us to guard this Xiao Pass, not to mention that there are only 10,000 troops outside now, even if all the 50,000 troops of the Qi State come, it is not a matter for me." ”
The woman in the white dress in front of her was Kong Hong, and the reason why she was delaying time with Chen Xiao to ask him about these things was because she wanted to have a general understanding, and secondly, she wanted to buy time for Sun Ying outside through this matter, so that he could win the military power as soon as possible.
Kong Hong also lowered his head and thought, Chen Xiao has been operating in this Xiao Pass for a long time, and he has a very strong force and support in Xiao Pass. If you want to break through this, you need to publicize that the current policy of the royal Chen family is wrong, and then win the support of the people through various means, so that if you control the army, everything will be solved.
But how to gain the support of the people of Xiao Guan is something that Kong Hong has been thinking about, what to do in order to be able to prevent future troubles forever and completely control Xiao Guan in their hands. That's a problem.
At this time, Feng Yuchong in front of him walked quickly to Kong Hong's side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Kong Hong clapped his hands and laughed: "You guy, there are still a lot of ghost ideas in your stomach, in the end, I still underestimated you." Okay, just do it. ”
Feng Shanshan, who was standing next to the table, saw some clues from her brother's sassy smile, and it seemed that she must have a good idea, so she smiled slightly and swallowed what she originally wanted to say for the time being. And at this moment, Oiran Jinyu, who was originally hiding behind the screen, walked out slowly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Three, do you need me to do anything now?"
Kong Hong dusted off his dress, it is estimated that the time is almost now, and with Sun Ying's ability, he should have dispatched the defenders of Nancheng. It's just that Kong Hong's only worry now is that although the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, had sent a pigeon letter to Li Fu in advance, informing him of their actions in Xiao Guan now. But after all, her identity so far is still Zhao Ling's wife, that is, a member of the Chen family of the royal family. Whether Li Fu trusted her or not was still a matter of difficulty in telling, in case Li Fu didn't believe her, and didn't give an order to Merlin, the general of the garrison Xiao Pass, at this time, wouldn't their plan be in vain.
However, Kong Hong himself also knows the reason for this, they have no way out, and now they are directly imprisoning Chen Xiao just because they want to delay time and never give Chen Xiao any possibility of turning the tables. Although Chen Xiao is Chen Xuan's nephew, he has not inherited the original soul inheritance of the royal Chen family, and his martial arts can only be regarded as average, so it is not surprising that he is trapped in place by Feng Yuchong's instrument soul storm now.
Kong Hong looked at the Oiran Jinyu with a slightly complicated gaze, and her original desire to spare her suddenly disappeared. What she is doing now must not have any consequences. If something happens here, it may directly affect the situation outside. So in that case, it's better to trap both of them here to prevent future troubles.
Thinking of this, Kong Hong couldn't help but secretly condense the power of frost in his hands, wanting to directly seal the Oiran brocade jade in front of him in place. At this time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, had immediately seen Kong Hong's intentions, and they hurriedly stopped Kong Hong's intention to carry out the action, Feng Shanshan shouted: "Sister Kong Hong, be cautious, since you have promised them, you must not be untrustworthy, otherwise, it will be a big blow to our reputation." ”
As soon as Kong Hong hesitated, the originally closed door behind him was knocked open at this moment, and a guard of Chen Xiao stumbled in outside, Chen Xiao looked at the blood stains on this person's body in surprise, he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked slowly: "What happened? Why is it so bloodstained at this time?"
The guard in front of him looked at Chen Xiao in front of him with a stunned gaze, but then he immediately told Chen Xiao in front of him everything he wanted to say. I only heard him shouting: "General, something is wrong!" Sun Ying used your token to dispatch the defenders in the south of the city to leave, and at this time, the Qi army, which had already been prepared, immediately launched an attack, plus Sun Ying's personal guards secretly opened the city gate, and now the brothers may not be able to support it."
"What!" Chen Xiao's face finally changed when he heard this, "It turns out that he is also the one who is undercover by my side, and I only know now" Chen Xiao's heart is like a mirror, the most fundamental reason why Xiao Pass was able to resist the attack of tens of thousands of troops with 5,000 people is that the steep and steep city wall is a natural hazard, plus the elite defenders on the city tower and sufficient city defense equipment, with these can hold this Xiao Pass. But now, the Qi army has entered the outer city, and it is logical to attack the interior of Xiaoguan from above. Now the commander of the army is Sun Ying, who has obvious signs of rebellion, so how can they hold Xiao Pass? Chen Xiao didn't dare to think about this, for fear that he would fall into a situation of shame and embarrassment when he thought about it.
At this time, the guard in front of him saw Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan standing in front of Chen Xiao, his eyes met Kong Hong's slightly deep gaze, he immediately understood, he subconsciously turned around and ran, but it was already too late.
Kong Hong's hand condensed a piercing frost power in an instant, and this frost power caught up with the Chen Xiao guard in front of him in the last time, directly freezing him in place, unable to move at all. Seeing this scene in front of him, Chen Xiao finally understood who this very peculiar strange woman in front of him was, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a cold meaning in his heart again. Even the eldest lady of the Kong family, the wife of the great general Zhao Ling, has secretly begun to help the country and the country of Qi, so does he really have a chance to defend Xiao Pass now?
Chen Xiao is very aware of the situation in front of him, once he can't stand Xiao Guan, what awaits him is not just a question of whether he can escape. His uncle will never forgive him, and at this time, the most important thing is whether he can show an attitude of treating death as home, so that he can at least explain to his uncle.
Kong Hong saw the changes in the movements and expressions on Chen Xiao's face, and she already knew that once she used her own soul power, representing the cold power inherited by the Kong family, it would inevitably attract Chen Xiao's attention. Chen Xiao was born in the Chen family of the royal family, and he has seen a lot since he was a child, and it is impossible for him not to understand the power of the Confucian family's original soul that he is most familiar with. So, Kong Hong directly picked out and said: "Now, since you have recognized my identity, it is better to understand what I mean directly, what I am doing now is the most important thing." If you cooperate with us, I can even consider sparing your life, and if you think what is the best outcome, you can think about it yourself. ”
Chen Xiao let out a long sigh, at this moment he had also heard the sound of shouting and killing the heavens outside this Baiyun Tower, this was obviously the fact that the Qi army had already invaded the inside of Xiao Pass, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Qi army was more than that of their royal Chen family, once the battle situation was directly launched at this moment, it was obvious that the predicament in front of them was a situation that they could not break no matter what, which was a fact that Chen Xiao could not accept no matter what.
But the comforting smiles on the faces of the three young men in front of them after hearing such enthusiastic shouts of murder were enough to show their joy now. This plan was successful in the end, Kong Hong immediately said to Feng Yuchong in front of him: "Yu Chong, you leave here immediately, go to find Mei Lin, the general of the Qi State who has now entered here, and tell him that we are here now, and we have also controlled Chen Xiao, the chief general of this Xiao Pass, once he clears up the current situation, he can use Chen Xiao to rectify the army inside Xiao Pass." ”
"Okay, I'll go!" Feng Yuchong withdrew his four storms summoned by the Soul Wind Feather Fan, turned around and immediately went downstairs to leave. Chen Xiao, who suddenly lost his strength from the air and fell to the ground, couldn't recover his physical strength for a while, he fell to his knees on the ground, and even the physical strength to move no longer existed.
