Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Man
After the emperor issued the order, he turned around and returned to his dormitory, and after retiring everyone, the emperor came to the back of the screen, twisted a vase, and then heard a rumbling sound, and the wall in front of the emperor suddenly moved away, revealing a passage, and after the emperor walked into the passage, the wall behind him automatically closed without a single gap.
The passage is about ten meters long, and the walls around the passage are inlaid with many night pearls, illuminating the entire passage.
The emperor walked through the passage, and in front of him was a huge room, there was nothing in the room, only a small platform built in the middle of it, half a meter high, and a man sat on the platform, with his eyes closed, holding Yuan in both hands, as if he were a lifeless dead man.
"Immortal, there is a big incident in my empire, and I myself am in danger, Xianshang said before, if you encounter a major event of life and death, you can ask the immortal for help, I don't know if the immortal can still count?" The emperor came to the platform and bowed to the "dead man".
After the emperor finished speaking, the mysterious man still did not move, but the emperor still bowed down and did not dare to ask again. After a long time, the mysterious man drew a circle with his hands, exhaled a cloudy breath from his mouth, and then began to speak.
"I told you earlier, thanks to your life-saving grace, I will take action for you once, only to save your life, and don't ask me to do it until the moment, are you sure you want me to do it this time?"
"Back to the immortals, I can't help myself, if the immortals don't help me get through this difficult time this time, I'm afraid that my net worth and life will not be guaranteed. ”
"Oh, what the hell happened, and your dignified Emperor Haotian was forced to not even save his life?" asked the mysterious man suspiciously.
"It's all the damn Lin family, in vain I trust them so much, and handed over more than seventy percent of the country's military power to them, who would have thought that they would collude with the Huanyu Empire and want to destroy my Haotian Empire, now they have rebelled, I believe that their army will arrive in the imperial capital city in the near future, and the Haotian Empire will be finished at that time, so I asked the immortals to help me tide over this difficulty, as long as the immortals kill Lin Batian and Lin Tenglong, the rebels will be leaderless, and the trouble will be automatically lifted at that time." ”
"In that case, I'll help you this time, but remember, I'll be gone after this time. The mysterious man granted the emperor's request.
"Where are you going, Immortal? Haven't I been entertained well all these years? Can't I stay here?" the Emperor asked greedily.
"Naturally, I'm going where I want to go, do I have to get your consent?" The mysterious man was a little annoyed, if he hadn't made a demon oath back then, he wouldn't have had to stay in this ghost place for so long.
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain just wants to serve the fairy again, and be a cow and a horse for the fairy. When the emperor saw that the mysterious man was angry, he immediately knelt down, in case he accidentally ran away from the immortal, this time it would really be over. However, as long as the immortal makes a move to destroy the Lin family, he will no longer have to be afraid.
"Do you think I don't know your mind? Don't you want me to shelter you for the rest of your life? I told you before, I only shot once, and if you think about other crooked thoughts, don't blame me for being rude. ”
"The immortal is angry, the immortal is angry, this time thanks to the immortal's life-saving grace, I can't repay it, so I thought of this way to repay the immortal, how dare I have other thoughts, since the immortal does not need to reciprocate, then let the immortal come up and go after the matter is completed. When the emperor saw that the immortal saw his careful thoughts, of course he denied it, but he had to let him go.
"Well, then you step aside, I'll make a move after the Lin family attacks the palace, let them taste the sweetness first, I like the feeling of watching people fall from heaven to hell the most, hahaha." The mysterious man waved his hand, and the emperor felt his body fly uncontrollably, and after landing, the emperor found himself at the entrance of the passage. Although it was not the first time that this was the case, the emperor still didn't want to try this feeling, but he didn't dare to disobey the mysterious man, so the emperor opened the passage and walked towards the palace.
Twenty years ago, when the current emperor was still the crown prince, he went out to play, and when he arrived at the east of the sea, he happened to find a man covered with scars, and he was very curious at that time, it stands to reason that there is no one in this vicinity at all, and it is impossible for such a person to appear here.
So he sent his subordinates to investigate, but found that this person still had a trace of breath, he was even more surprised, if ordinary people are injured in this situation, they must definitely die, and this person actually still has a trace of breath, so he sent someone to carry this person to the post station to find a doctor for treatment.
Later, after the person woke up, there was a wary look in his eyes, and he wanted to get up, but he found that he couldn't move, so he had to ask others what happened.
The prince told him that he had discovered him and sent someone to save his life. Later, after the man recovered from his injuries, he told the prince that he would repay the grace of saving his life, and if the prince was in need, that person could help him avoid a catastrophe.
At first, the prince smiled and said, "I am the dignified prince of Haotian, and I will be the emperor of Haotian in the future, not to mention whether there will be a catastrophe, even if it happens, how can you help me alone." ”
The man didn't speak, just raised his hand, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that he was being grabbed by an invisible big hand, and his body soared uncontrollably, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew how terrible the person he had rescued was.
So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took this person with him, worshiped him as an immortal, called him an immortal, and did not invite him out until this crisis appeared.
In the rockery to the east of the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, now that the Lin family has been defected by our design, what should we do next?" Cheng Mingyu asked the black-robed man.
"Don't worry, there are still many troops in the imperial capital now, and it won't be possible to rely on Chen Long's tens of thousands of people alone, it depends on how many people Lin Batian can bring back from the border, if there are more, it will be difficult to get it. ”
"Now that Lin Batian is fighting against our empire, presumably he won't bring many people with him when he comes back. ”
"Let's hope so, let Chen Long stand still first, let him be careful not to let anyone find out, and wait for my news. ”
"By the way, Your Highness, the Haotian Imperial Family is going to send 20,000 people to chase down the Lin family, should we help? If the people of the Lin family are caught by the royal family, Lin Batian will definitely have some scruples at that time, and maybe he will fail directly. Cheng Mingyu remembered an incident that the prince told him.
"Hmm, Emperor Haotian didn't care so much about the old feelings, and even a few old and weak women and children of the Lin family didn't let go?" The Third Highness was a little surprised.
"Your Highness, you forgot, although there are only a few old and weak women and children left in the Lin family, there is also a Lin Tenglong among them, after all, as a generation of military gods, even if there are only 5,000 people, it should not be underestimated. ”
"Yes, a generation of military gods, my father and emperor had a respectful expression every time he recalled Lin Tenglong, although he was our enemy, but when he was guarding the border between the two countries before, Lin Tenglong never took the initiative to provoke a war, even after the victory, he could let it go. The Third Highness remembered what his father said to him at that time, if Lin Tenglong was not in Haotian but in Huanyu, how good it would be.
"Your Highness, do we need to arrange for Long Chen to help the Lin family?"
"Help is definitely needed, everyone in the Lin family must not fall into the hands of the Haotian royal family, but we can't go directly to the northeast campus, so we ordered Chen Long to go to the road to ambush, leaving all 20,000 people behind, and not leaking a single rumor. ”
Two days later, the people of the Lin family also arrived at the Northeast schoolyard, and on the way, they also flew pigeons and passed the book to Lin Batian, but the distance was far away, and it would take a few days to receive Lin Batian's reply.
And the imperial capital city also summoned all the ministers of the court, and 40,000 people were allocated to each city gate to be stationed, 10,000 imperial forest troops stayed in the palace, and the other 20,000 people went to the northeast school field to chase down the Lin family's people. The 20,000 people chasing the Lin family encountered an ambush halfway through, and in an instant 20,000 people turned into corpses, and then Chen Long sent people to clean up the battlefield, and then disappeared, leaving only a thick layer of blood on the ground.
"Report~" Two days later, a panicked voice came into the main hall of Emperor Hao's palace.
"Report to Your Majesty, the 20,000 people who chased the Lin family have all been wiped out!"
With a "bang", His Majesty the Emperor slapped the dragon case again, poor dragon case, I don't know how many times I have been beaten in the past few days.
"What's going on, in detail?" His Majesty the Emperor was furious again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the army sent to the northeast school field did not reply to the message for a long time, so the subordinates sent people to investigate quickly, but found traces of the battle halfway, so the spies searched nearby and found the bodies of the 20,000 people, who were dug a large pit and buried. ”
"20,000 people, 20,000 people, how could they all be killed so easily? Who did it?" His Majesty the Emperor was a little out of control, and the successive blows made him gradually lose control.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, when the 20,000 army marched to the middle of the ambush, there were trap materials such as rolling stones and giant trees left at the scene, and the ambushers then shot all the survivors with a salvo of bows and arrows, and then cleaned the battlefield without leaving a trace, but this style can definitely be completed by a well-trained army, and the subordinates suspect that it is the Lin family's army. ”
"Lin Jiajun, impossible, now that the Lin family army is all in the south, and now that the Lin family has only defected for four days, it is impossible for Lin Batian to rush back so quickly. "His Majesty the Emperor still hasn't lost his mind.
"Your Majesty, it is not necessarily that Lin Ba has the Lin family army, Lin Tenglong also has the Lin family army, although there were only five thousand people in the city at that time, but will the people who ambush this time come out to meet the Northeast school field. Prime Minister Zuo was skeptical.
"Northeast Campus? Yes, it must be, since the Lin family has colluded with the Huanyu Empire, they must have falsely reported the number of people in the Northeast Campus, and there were more than 1,000 people reported at that time, but there were 5,000 people in the city before, it must be people from the Northeast Campus, but how many people are there in the Northeast Campus now?" His Majesty the Emperor muttered.
"Your Majesty, now that the number of people in the northeast school field is unknown, we must not rush to send people again. ”
"Well, put this matter aside for now, I have another way. His Majesty the Emperor thought of something, and then smiled strangely.
