Chapter 461: The Dead
"Report ——! the envoy of Liang Guo saw Ning Ze and didn't know what he said. Ning Ze's army is temporarily stationed near Gu'an, and there is no action!"
The scout returned and informed Ma Jian of the front-line information.
"As expected!" Huang Zhi said with a stroke of his beard, "Ning Ze is still waiting for the opportunity and will not do it easily. ”
"What should I do?" asked Ma Jian hurriedly.
"Your Majesty rest assured," Huang Zhi said with a smile, "Even if Ning Ze doesn't do it, it will already put pressure on Sima Fa." As long as Ning Ze is near Gu'an, Sima Fa will be on guard, and the offensive against our army will be reduced. ”
"I see. Ma Jian nodded when he heard this, "That's okay, it's just that Ning Ze can fight with Liang Guo as soon as possible, and the situation can completely change." Is there any way to stop him from being a spectator?"
"Your Majesty!" Before the words fell, the queen Feng Lan next to her said anxiously, "Ning Ze took Xiao Qi with him, the sword has no eyes, in case it ......"
Ma Jian turned his head to her and said, "Don't want the kindness of a woman! Now it is about my national fortune in the south, life and death." Since we have decided to send Xiao Qi away, her life and death have nothing to do with you and me! Now we have to think about national affairs, and we don't have time to think about this!"
Feng Lan's eyes were a little sad, but she also knew that as a woman, especially a woman who was keen on the power of men, she would definitely face this fate. It's just that Xiao Qi is only eight years old, and it is really difficult to accept such a cruel fate at this age.
What if you can't accept it? I can only pray that Xiao Qi is safe and sound.
It is rumored outside that Ning Ze's fairy-like character may be safe to stay by his side.
It is said that China promotes equality between men and women, and the status of women is completely different from other forces, and women can also show their heads and become officials. If he can avoid this catastrophe, maybe Xiao Qi is better in China.
Although Ma Jian didn't show it on his face, after all, he was his own daughter, and he has always been pampered, so it is false to say that he is not distressed. If he didn't have no choice but to be forced to this point, how could he send Xiao Qi to the enemy camp? It's just that as Emperor Nancheng, he must make a choice. Those who achieve great things are not informal.
After discussing with Huang Zhi, it was decided to push Ning Ze into the water, and he couldn't just watch the show. Only when Ning Ze intervened in the war and launched an offensive against the Liang State could there be enough pressure to force Sima Fa to stop the war with Nancheng and take the initiative to seek an alliance instead.
When the time comes, Ning Ze's army will go deep into the hinterland, surrounded by the Liang State and his own city, and will not be able to get the help of the Hua State, and the forces on both sides will do their best, regardless of the cost, and may not be able to leave him forever!
This is a great opportunity to turn the tables around, and it is necessary to create an opportunity no matter what, lest he sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight.
Since Ning Ze was watching a play near Gu'an, he didn't plan to intervene in the battle immediately, so he wanted to break this situation. The solution that Huang Zhi thought of was to send a team of loyal dead soldiers, all of whom changed into Liang State military uniforms, and disguised themselves as Liang State assassins to attack Ning Ze's team.
This team of dead soldiers will definitely have no survivors in the face of Ning Ze, and their role is to make Ning Ze mistakenly think that Liang Guo will say one thing and do another, and take the initiative to attack when he is angry. At that time, Nancheng will be able to solve the crisis, and the pressure will all be on Sima Fa's head.
The dead soldiers were quickly assembled, and before leaving, Ma Jian secretly ordered: "If you see Xiao Qi on the battlefield, if you can save it, you will save it, secretly send it back to Nancheng, and declare that it has been captured by the assassins of Liang State." If you can't save it, try to be careful when assassinating and don't hurt Xiao Qi. ”
At the end of the day, as a father, I'm still worried about my daughter.
The dead man got the order, and immediately set off, rushing to the border of Gu'an without stopping.
The Chinese army stayed on the border of Gu'an for several days, but it was quite comfortable and was not in a hurry to send troops.
Ning Ze took the horse cicada every day and rode the shadow to the camp to enjoy the scenery.
However, these days, Ma Cicada Pei is not in a high mood and is homesick.
I was angry with my family before, and this temper came and went quickly.
It's normal, kids.
So Ning Ze took her to relax, play around, and forget it for a while if she had fun, this is a process. From the moment Ma Chanpei was sent over, it was impossible to return to Nancheng.
And after getting along during this time, Ning Ze likes this girl very much, and he is unwilling to return her to Ma Jian, if he really wants to go back, who knows who Ma Jian will give the girl to next time for his own interests.
It's better to follow yourself, and after you go back, you can be raised with Liu Xiu, and you can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart when you grow up. If she wants to marry Liu Xiu, she is her daughter-in-law. If you don't want to get married, you should also be a daughter, and it is better to find a better husband for her than to stay with her ruthless parents.
As long as she gets through this time, when she gets used to it, she won't be homesick often.
So Ning Ze treated her better, and tried to make this girl regain her spirit and live happily every day.
On this day, I took the horse cicada Pei and rode to the relatively quiet, picturesque woodside meadow a few miles away from the camp, and took a newly made kite to coax her to play. Dozens of red dots suddenly appeared on the virtual map, moving towards this side at a fairly fast speed.
Ning Ze instantly entered a state of alert, picked up the horse cicada, didn't even care about the kite, and rode directly on the shadow.
Ma Chanpei was having a good time, and was suddenly picked up by Ning Ze, and the new toy could not be retrieved, and he immediately cried.
Ning Ze hurriedly reassured: "Girl, don't cry! ”
A child is a child, and when he heard that there was something more fun, he immediately wiped away his tears and looked up at Ning Ze curiously.
The red dot on the map moved to a nearby mountain, only a few hundred meters away from Ning Ze, which was close at hand. Probably for the sake of caution, carefully observe in the hidden mountains.
It was found that there was only Ning Ze alone, and there were no Chinese soldiers around. Looking at the horseback again, it was the seventh princess Ma Cicada Pei, who was suddenly overjoyed.
It's a godsend, as long as you kill Ning Ze by surprise, you can not only get rid of the big trouble, but also lead the Huaguo army to fight with the Liang State, complete the task, and rescue the Seven Princesses, killing two birds with one stone!
The dead man immediately took action, walking slowly through the dense bushes, without making a sound, and gradually approached Ning Ze's position.
Ning Ze saw the opponent's actions clearly through the virtual map.
immediately smiled and bowed his head, and said to Ma Chanpei: "Girl, how about performing a spell for you?"
"Spells?" Ma Chanpei clapped her hands happily, "yes, yes!"
"Today's spell is different from usual," Ning Ze called out his battle method and said with a smile, "Look at this mountain, don't you want to cast a spell to make it burn." ”
"Oh~" Ma Chanpei had also seen Ning Ze's "spells" before, which were basically taken out of thin air, or made the items disappear. In fact, it is to put the props in or take them out of the famous carry-on column. In addition, there are some chemical methods commonly used by Ning Ze. Hearing him say that he wanted to make the mountain burn, he was immediately interested.
"Look at it!" Ning Ze directly used this mountain as a spell casting range, using fire attack.
In an instant, the entire mountain was suddenly surrounded by fire, and it was blazing.
The dead soldier who was slowly descending the mountain couldn't think of this hand at all, and was thinking about how to sneak attack and kill Ning Ze unknowingly, and rescue the seventh princess, but he didn't expect the flames to fall suddenly, and everyone was covered and burned by the fire.
Now it was lively, and the burning dead were so frightened that they could not care about hiding their figures? So they jumped out one after another, rolling around on the hill and wailing.
It's just that the whole mountain is surrounded by flames, and instead of extinguishing the fire, the rolling does not extinguish the fire, but burns more and more.
In less than a minute, all the red dots in the mountain disappeared.
This tactic is a skill that can be used against local armies, and it can cause horrific casualties, and its power is naturally amazing. Thousands of troops, once surrounded by flames, the rate of battle damage is extremely terrifying. There are only dozens of people, where can they hold up?
Ma Chanpei didn't see the dead soldiers in the mountains, but when he heard the wails in the flames, he pulled Ning Ze's clothes a little frightened, looked up and asked, "What is that?"
"Don't be afraid!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "There are some demons and monsters in the mountains, all of whom were burned to death by fire. These demons cannot come out to do evil, and they are safe. ”
"Oh~" Ma Chanpei didn't doubt it, but was very interested in Ning Ze's "spell", "Spell, can I learn it?"
"Of course you can," Ning Ze gently stroked her little head, "When you grow up, Lone will teach you again." Do you still want to play kites?"
"Good!"
Ning Ze was not in a hurry to confirm the identity of the enemy, in fact, in the current situation, there was no need for Sima Fa to be in trouble. On the other hand, Nancheng's side, in order to reverse the situation, deliberately pretended to be an assassin of the Liang State to attack him, trying to provoke anger and make him go to war against the Liang State.
This matter can't be let Ma Chanpei know, children don't have to get involved in adult disputes, as long as they are happy every day, this is enough.
So after taking her to play tired, she was sent back to the main tent to coax her to sleep, and then she led people to the burned mountain, took out the corpses of the dead soldiers, and verified their identity.
Through the system function, it is possible to determine the faction they belong to.
Sure enough, they were all sent by Nancheng.
It's a pity that the other party still underestimated Ning Ze, and he was completely wiped out before he made a move.
Ning Ze ordered people to dig a pit nearby and bury all the corpses, as if there was no such thing.
Nan Cheng was in a hurry to force him to go to war, but Ning Ze would not let the other party get his wish.
He had to continue to wait until Nancheng and Liang Guo were both defeated and had a great opportunity to act before acting.
Ma Jian didn't know what was going on, and he waited for a long time, but he didn't get any news of the dead man. Ning Ze's army didn't make any moves, and I don't know if they did it or not.
When he got tired of waiting, he sent scouts to reconnoitre.
When the scouts arrived near Gu'an, they found that the mountains and forests had been burned down by the fire, and the Chinese army still stationed at the border without any intention of going to war, and they couldn't figure out where the dead had gone.
The investigation has been inconclusive for a long time, and we can only speculate that their mysterious disappearance may have something to do with the burned mountains and forests. So the flying pigeon passed a letter to report to Ma Jian and truthfully conveyed the situation here.
Ma Jian got the information, summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to carry out research, and finally came to the conclusion that the dead man may have launched an attack on Ning Ze, but he was burned to death by the other party's spell.
This conclusion is very scary, if the burned mountain forest is Ning Ze's masterpiece, his spell is too terrifying, I am afraid it is not something that ordinary people can compete with.
Hopefully it's not true, maybe it's just an accidental wildfire.
