Chapter 70: Yan Shang
"yes. I also know it's a hassle. I'm afraid that Nizi is not so easy to deal with. I heard that you know her very well, can you please ...... trouble?" asked Amdo eagerly. "No way!" Black Benny didn't wait for Andor to finish speaking, and then loudly refused. "I know her very well, but this familiarity is not good familiarity. It's about getting to know each other like adversaries. Black Benny explained to Andor.
"She's smart, but she doesn't know about these things. I'm afraid these things we are talking about will not win her trust at all. And she has her own troubles, and I don't think it's the right time to look for her at this time. "Trouble? What's in trouble with her? "Andor doesn't know Yi Qiandie very well.
"She has a lot of enemies. Looks like she's hiding it well. In fact, it was just because she didn't make any moves, and she stayed in the Cloud Academy all the time. That's why no one did it. It's not that no one knows her identity. I can find out all those things about her. It is even more unlikely that those people do not know. "Oh, Xiao Luo also said that she was in some trouble. Do you know who will deal with her? Andor looked very interested.
"The Taoqiu family should be the mastermind, right? But in the end, it should all be counted on the master. "Black Benny was a little hesitant to say." Is that the beautiful boy who is in the Otoki House and has a hot fight with His Royal Highness? Andor frowned and thought for a while and asked.
"Oh,......" Black Benny was visibly stunned for a moment. It's really beautiful. He is the eldest son of the Taoqiu family. He has always been a very good camper. I'm afraid there aren't many people in Scarlet Sun Fort who dare not to buy his account. His father was the mastermind behind the massacre. But when it comes to means, Tao Qiumian is no worse than his father. Sometimes it's even smarter. This time, their Taoqiu family came to Shenyun Academy, and their plans may not be small. Especially with the scarlet Japanese text. I think he's going to ruin our plans. ”
"What about this person?" Amdo had no impression of the man.
"To be able to become the general flag of the Japanese army, there are still some means. At the age of sixteen, he was able to take over the real power of the Japanese army from the hands of the Western family. Although he has the support of his father behind him. However, if you don't have some real skills, you will never get real command in the barracks. The Xi family was very embarrassed at the time, if it weren't for the help of the second highness of the Scarlet Sun family later. It is likely that their family will be removed from the army. After all, General Dahu is old, and he is not from the Western family. If it weren't for the general Konishi who appeared later, or with the help of His Royal Highness, the Japanese army would not have anything to do with the Xi family. ”
"It's all so tricky, huh?" Andor touched his beard, which had not yet grown much under his chin, and was very depressed. "Yes! They are all incredibly smart people. But it's just a matter of stirring up in the midst of these flies and dogs. No matter how great the ability is, it is only more powerful than who has it. Black Benny looked up at the sky. What does your planet's Senate look like? Black Benny asked Andor suddenly.
"Oh, where a bunch of old men often quarrel." Andor was really unfamiliar with this thing. He had never been to Xia Lanxing, let alone sat in on a debate in the Senate on a public day. Even the regular online discussion of the Senate on the Star Network, he has never read it. His world, at that time, was all nails, screws, connecting rods. That is interested in learning about things that are so far away. "I'll get you a few catalogues of their quarrels. I heard it was interesting, but I haven't seen it. Do you think the Japanese army is stable now? And what military strength is still in Scarlet Sun Castle? ”
"The Japanese army has been very stable since the Western family divided the original forces. Except for the eldest son of the Scarlet Sun family, almost no one can interfere in it. In addition to the Japanese army, the Scarlet Sun Fort also has a scarlet army. It's basically all the forces of the Nagayu family. However, since the First Banner was stationed in the town of Gaza, it had long been the sphere of influence of the Western Family. Counted on the bright side, the five flags of the scarlet army. The Changyu family has two, three, and four flags. The Fifth Banner has always been the power of the Scarlet Sun family because it is stationed in the Scarlet Sun Palace. Coupled with the current Five Banners of the Japanese Army, the Scarlet Sun family is the most powerful. This is also the time when the royal power has expanded at its most in the past three decades. Therefore, the Scarlet Sun family has always had a good relationship with the Taoqiu family over the years. ”
"What do you mean?" Andor heard that there was something else hidden in Black Benny's words.
"This is going to talk about why Yi Qiandie regards the Taoqiu family as an enemy." Black Benny glanced at Andor, as if he didn't want to go into details. But seeing his chasing eyes, he sighed and continued. "When the eldest lady led the troops to repel the invasion of Shuliu City and returned to the city, because of an official letter from the Great Imperial Decree Taoqiu Yanshang, she handed over all the military power under the city gate. It didn't take long for the king to personally decree that the Yunying Army created by the eldest lady was changed to the Scarlet Army, which was divided into two banner battalions, one for the Scarlet Army and the other for the Japanese Army. And the original deputy flag generals Dahu Qiuli and Changyu Zhongxing were respectively appointed as general flag generals. ”
This is Tao Qiu Yan Shang's first idea for the Scarlet Sun King. Supposedly, things are quite above board here. Although the eldest lady Yun Ya Niangniang suffered some grievances, after all, she and the Scarlet Sun King are a family. Outsiders can't say much. But Tao Qiu Yan Shang's idea was too low. He first used the palace man to poison the Scarlet Sun King's tea, and the palace man was the old servant who had been following the eldest lady. In fact, it should be said that the Scarlet Sun King himself does not know, and those who are smarter do not believe it. But on this ground, the Scarlet Sun King Scarlet Sun Wuxing actually encircled the eldest lady. and arrested the guards directly under the eldest lady and the original marching staff officers. ”
"There is one of the eldest lady's most trusted people in it, Zhou Shu who joined the army. In order to obtain evidence, Tao Qiuyan still imprisoned Zhou Shu for more than 120 days in prison. I heard that when Zhou Shu went to the execution ground, there was no flesh left in his limbs, and all the bones were exposed. I haven't figured it out, this Yan Shang has already played like this, why do you need evidence? Would anyone believe the so-called evidence he came up with? ”
"You seem to hate this guy named Yan Shang?" Andor asked when he saw Black Benny's angry look.
"You don't know how many people he killed? Almost all the people who were related to the eldest lady, who could not be sold in those two or three years, were killed. A lot of them are full of slashes. Aren't they rebels? They've just defended Scarlet Sun? Black Benny asked loudly.
"That Zhou Shu is Yi Qiandie's?" "That's his father. Back then, he was the de facto number two person in the Yunying Army. Many of the battles were actually planned by him. He is also a student of Shenyun Academy. I heard that he went down the mountain with the eldest lady and came to Scarlet Sun Castle. "Black Benny looked sad.
"If you don't take revenge like this, your mood will never get better for the rest of your life." Andor ignored Black Benny's appearance. Instead, he muttered to himself. "You said that if we mess with the Taoqiu family, will Yi Qiandie be very grateful to us? It's a no-brainer anyway. As if he were talking about a very simple matter, he asked Black Benny for advice very naturally.
"That, though she'll be grateful. However, the Taoqiu family ...... "Black Benny looked like he didn't know where to start with this matter, and slowly narrowed his eyes. "Their power is huge, and it's not entirely with the help of the Scarlet Sun King's credit." "Oh, it's not our group anyway. No matter how powerful it is, do you have to find a way to deal with it? That guy also chased and killed the tooth sparrow, and this revenge must be avenged no matter what. Amdo replied earnestly. Besides, if you don't clean up the Scarlet Sun Castle, how can you clean it up? ”
"I think this matter needs to be carefully considered." "Don't bother, right?" A crisp voice, decisive and full of surprise.
"Obscurity." Black Benny turned his head to see the man coming out of the tent. Although he knew that she was fine, he ran over happily. "Are you alright?" Running in front of Luo Genyan, he looked restrained. "It's fine. What about you? I saw you being chased into the woods by wolves? Although he had heard what Fan Hezi had said, Luo Gengqian obviously wanted to hear Hei Benny himself say it.
"Ran away. I don't know why the wolves chased for a while and then stopped. "Black Benny himself doesn't seem to have figured out the situation." It's okay. Luo Gengqian looked at him. Gongzi An, I'm afraid we won't be able to rest here. Luo Gengqian suddenly turned to look at Amdo.
"What's wrong?"
"Fan Fan said that Miss Scarlet Sun's team in the valley is surrounded by a group of people." Luo Gengyan pulled Fan Hezi to his side.
"What's the situation?" Andor looked at the tall girl. "Can you elaborate on the situation again?"
"Oh,......" she glanced at Amdo without speaking. He looked back at Lorri. "Tell me about it, Fanfan." Luo Gengyan nodded to her.
"Oh. On that day, after I was separated from him, I ...... ""What day?" Andor hurriedly confirmed.
"That was the day, the day I was dragged down by wolves in the mountains." Van Kazuko glared at Ando unhappily. Amdo looked helplessly at Luo Gengan. "Five days ago." Luo Gengqian hurriedly added.
"That day I was dragged by wolves in the woods, and I didn't even dare to shout. You don't know how many wolves there are, and I've seen strange things. I was afraid that the poor would come back to look for me, so I escaped from the wolves, and I stayed in a tree and lived a day and a night without saying a word. I saw him coming to me, but I didn't dare to say anything. Those strange things have also been staring at the Appendix. They didn't shrink back until she was far away. I didn't dare to talk to Ben again. Don't be angry with me, Oh? She said as she didn't forget to persuade Luo Gengqian flatteringly.
"What do you mean by strange things?" Amdo instinctively sensed that there was something wrong with what Van and Zi saw.
"Strange thing......? Strange things are weird! As if he couldn't describe what he saw, Fan Kazuko glanced angrily at Di Ando, who was closely questioning. What's wrong with it? Is it because the eyes look weird, or does the body look wrong? Amdo could see that Fan Hezi was a girl who was not good at talking, and patiently guided her.
"It's strange everywhere. You've never seen anything like that, have you? "Fan Kazuko can't say what he wants to say, and he looks angry." Don't worry, don't worry. Let's say it little by little. Amdo reassured. Let's start with its head. Does it have a head? ”
"Head? Do you have a head? I don't know. I can't see it! Fan Hezi frowned and thought for a while, then replied helplessly.
The four people around him glared at each other a little bewildered. Even Andor didn't know how to ask. "We might as well leave it at that. Fanfan, let's talk about Miss Scarlet Sun's situation first. "No! Ask this question first, we have to get this thing straight. Andor felt his heart panic, and from time to time he felt that something dangerous was happening. He stared nervously at Fan Hezi.
"Fanfan, you can say whatever you want. We're not in a hurry. Luo Gengyan looked at Amdo, who was looking at Fan Hezi seriously. Obviously, this matter is not negotiable.
"Oh." Fan Hezi pouted reluctantly. "Let me ask you first, how tall does it grow?" After thinking for a while, Andor asked simply.
"Very high, very high. Almost, almost, they're too far away from me. I didn't see it too clearly. And there are bushes in the way, and I don't know how they stand. Maybe they were standing on a stone or something. As far as I can see, they are half as tall as a tree! As if he was afraid that no one would believe his words, Fan Hezi kept supplementing the strange phenomena he saw.
Sure enough, even Luo Gengyan's eyes became strange when he looked at Fan Hezi. "I'll just say I can't figure it out! You have to ask! Luo Gengyan's suspicious eyes made Fan Hezi very annoyed and blamed Amdo. Don't be surprised. I believe what the girl saw. Let's go on. Amdo motioned with his eyes to Luo Gengyan not to ask more questions first. How tall is that tree? Isn't it a small tree? ”
"Not really!" Fan Hezi quickly denied it. "It's a bit far away, though. Looks like you're a big tree, because that forest is almost all like that! In order to increase his persuasiveness, Fan Hezi searched for a while in the bushes around him. Pointing to a thick tree around him, he confirmed.
"Ahh Several people around were surprised. The tree looks like it's about thirty meters tall. "Fanfan, do you really see clearly? Does it really move? Wouldn't it be a human to do some kind of siege engine or something? ”
"I saw it very clearly. Besides, the siege vehicle looks too different from it. Fan Hezi looked at Luo Gengyan with some grievances. Let me ask. Amdo interrupted Rogen's questioning. A very bad thought arose in his mind. Isn't it the dangerous thing they said about that has come here? "Are they like people, with hands and arms?" Amdo asked worriedly.
"Kind of like that, right?" Fan Hezi recalled with heart. "But their butts are too cocked, and they kind of look like birds. That's right! I remember. They're not cloaks. They're wings! Fan Hezi suddenly shouted loudly. Don't worry, speak slowly. Amdo hurriedly stood up and grabbed Fan Kazuko's arm with one hand.
"When I think about it, it must be its wings!" Van Kazuko looked at the people around him excitedly. "But I saw that they had hands in front of them, too?" She was only happy for a moment, and then she started to worry again. "Don't worry, you think slowly."
"That's probably where their hands go." Fan Hezi seemed to be fascinated, and pulled Amdo over. The hand gestured slightly down his arm. "But their arms look much shorter than their legs. But it still looks longer than our arms. Right, right! That's their head! She kept startling.
"Their heads are also kind of bird-like. The neck is also very long. That's pretty much it. She clapped her hands excitedly. Didn't you get it? She wriggled her head to look at the four men who had surrounded her. They all stared blankly at themselves. "That's really how it is. That's all I saw! Why don't you believe it? Her eyes widened as she looked at the people around her.
"It's not that we don't believe it. It's just like this, how do we put it together? Amdo also looked inexplicable.
"That's what I see anyway. There's a head here. She pulled Andor in front of her, gesturing her hands over his body. It's almost the size of your head. But the neck is very long, three or four longer than your neck. Arm lower, here! Two cloaks grew here. But I guess it's wings. Leaning forward, the butt rose very high. The two legs are also particularly long. That's it, but it's seven or eight times taller than you. Fan Kazuko fiddled with Amdo's posture with one hand and held his chin in the other in contemplation.
"What is this?" Amdo was tired from being fiddled with by Van Kazuko, and he didn't form a complete figure in his head. He thought back to the drawings in the Beast Atlas, and he didn't compare anything that even slightly resembled it. He straightened up, exhaled deeply, and asked everyone.
Everyone was shaking their heads. No one seems to be able to come up with what this sudden appearance is.
"I remembered something. But it's also a legendary thing. I don't know if it's real. In that legend, there was a thing called the 'West Window Bird Orchand'. Also called the West Window Birds, they are said to have no less intelligence than humans. Some even say that they are much more intelligent than humans. In many realm wars, they have defeated many human alliances. I heard that they retreated only because the environment here prevented them from surviving for long. Black Benny looked at Andor.
"It's the same thing as the legend you told you earlier?" Andor asked. Black Benny nodded. "It can't be birds, they don't have hair at all!" Fan Hezi suddenly retorted. "Oh, it's in the legends. They are called birds, but they are more like people. It's just that because they do have wings, they are called West Window Birds. Maybe that's the reason, I don't remember exactly. Black Benny added. But they don't have hair, do they? It's smooth and shiny! ”
Van Kazuko's words made Amdo's thoughts even more confused.
