Chapter 434: The Fall of Power

"In the middle of the night, what is it that Lord Lan summoned us to?"

The sleepy-eyed Wei Li dragged his sleepy body, accompanied by several black-armored soldiers, swaying in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent, through his slightly messy clothes and yawning appearance, it was obvious that he had just been called out from a sweet dream, so that Wei Li's face looked a little unhappy at this moment.

At the same time, outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Chu Lingtian, Ma Rufeng, Fan Jiang and a group of battalion generals were already standing there in twos and threes, looking at each of them with a puzzled look, as if they didn't quite understand the purpose of coming here at this hour, and even some generals were still standing there staggeringly with their eyes slightly closed, and their heads were shaking and dozing, obviously these people had also been forcibly woken up from their sleep just now.

"General Chu, what does Lord Lan mean by this?" Wei Li walked up to Chu Lingtian and asked with a displeased expression, "I fought hard with Han Xiao's army during the day, and I was already sleepy, why did Lord Lan call me here at this hour?"

"I also came here after receiving a message from Hai Lao, and I don't know what Lord Lan told Chu Mou!" Chu Lingtian explained with a wry smile, "When everyone arrives later, let's go in together!"

Hearing Chu Lingtian's words, Wei Li also deliberately looked around a few times, and when he saw the generals coming one after another from all over the camp, he couldn't help but be secretly taken aback, because he found that almost all the generals in the camp with more than 1,000 households had arrived at this moment, and there were nearly 100 people scattered together. This kind of formation is not common, and at this moment, almost everyone is secretly speculating in their hearts: Wait a minute, is there anything extremely important to announce Lan Shixun?

"General Chu, the people are almost all together, do you think we can go in?" Fan Jiang said slowly after counting the number of people.

Chu Lingtian nodded slightly, and then he respectfully bowed to the account and said, "Lord Lan, everyone is already together, I don't know ......."

"Then come in!"

Before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, a woman's voice suddenly came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, this voice was not unfamiliar to Chu Lingtian and the others, and its owner was King Xuanzong Ming, who had been with Lan Shixun all day in the past month.

Hearing Chaoge's summons, Chu Lingtian and Wei Li couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on their faces, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, after a few moments of hesitation, Chu Lingtian coughed lightly, and then after tidying up his robe a little, he opened the curtain and walked in with his head down. With Chu Lingtian taking the lead, Wei Li and the others no longer hesitated, and rushed in one by one.

There were only two candlesticks burning on the handsome desk in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the dim candlelight illuminated the tent of the vast camp very hazy, so that when Chu Lingtian stepped into the tent, his eyes were still a little uncomfortable. At this moment, there is a huge screen erected behind the handsome case, which is usually used to isolate the front meeting hall and the bedroom in the back of the Chinese army's big tent, but now the person sitting on the main seat in front of the screen is not Lan Shixun, but King Xuanzong Ming, Chaoge.

Chao Ge is still that bewitching and charming, she is leaning on the throne, and her legs are stacked on the handsome case, I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional, the skirt robe that should have covered her legs is actually rolled up most of it at this moment, so that Chao Ge's two white and slender * are displayed in front of everyone without taboo, and the toes are slightly hooked inward as if they are deliberately teasing Chu Lingtian and the others. Loose skirt under **** Half-dewed, a pair of charming eyes scanned everyone who entered the account, she gently held the wine glass in her left hand, and there was a string of small and delicate silver bells on her white wrist that shook slightly with her movements, making a burst of heart-catching sounds, this woman was always swaying a seductive color to the man, her slightly debauched behavior made many young generals look straight in their eyes, and Chu Lingtian immediately lowered his head after seeing Chao Ge, he knew that Chao Ge's charm was very good, so he didn't dare to look at her directly, so as not to be confused, and the six gods had no master。

And beside Chaoge, the solemn-eyed Hai Lao stood beside him and quietly examined them. In addition, there were still twenty or thirty Xuanzong disciples holding swords in the tent, and Chu Lingtian and the others didn't know when these Xuanzong disciples entered the camp. Therefore, when Chu Lingtian saw the situation in the tent clearly, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Ahem......" Chu Lingtian first coughed lightly twice, as if to relieve the embarrassment in the tent, and then bowed to Chao Ge, and said slowly, "Dare to ask King Chao Geming, where is Lord Lan?"

"Lord Lan is resting behind the screen!" Chao Gejiao replied with a smile, "Please don't be impatient, General Chu, it's the little woman who called you here tonight!"

"What?" As soon as Chao Ge said this, everyone in the tent was in an uproar.

"What does this mean?" Wei Li stared at Chao Ge with a frown, "What is the important matter for King Chao Ge Ming to ask me to come?" As soon as Wei Li's words came out, all the generals in the tent turned their eyes to Chao Ge, and everyone had a thick look of doubt in their eyes.

"The little girl wants to give the generals a big gift today!" Chao Ge smiled unhurriedly, "I hope the generals can like it!"

With that, Chao Ge waved his hand at the Xuanzong disciples on the left and right, and then the four Xuanzong disciples walked to both sides of the huge screen, lifted the screen together, and then slowly moved to the side. With their movements, the barrier separating the outer hall and the inner room slowly disappeared, and Lan Shixun's bedroom appeared impressively in front of everyone. At this moment, there was no candlestick lit in the bedroom, so it was very dim, and when the screen was completely removed, almost everyone in the tent narrowed their eyes slightly, as if they wanted to see the scene in the tent.

However, as their eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness of the inner room, the scene that met their eyes shocked everyone present.

Especially Chu Lingtian and other Lan Shixun's subordinates, how could they not only be shocked? their hearts felt as if they were beating a beat at this moment, and they felt that the whole world was instantly silent, everyone's expressions were completely frozen on their faces, their minds were blank, and an ethereal sound lingered in their ears for a long time.

At this moment, behind the folding fan screen, the corpses of Lan Shixun, Lan Jin, and more than a dozen important members of the Lan family were piled up there, and the cold corpses formed a small mountain in the inner room, and they were all killed by someone who was shattered by a blow, so there was no bloody trauma caused by the sword, so there was no strong smell of blood.

"Woooo

Just after Chu Lingtian and the others were stunned for about a third of the time of the pillar incense, the annoyed and angry generals drew their swords one after another, glaring angrily at Chao Ge one by one, and the bright blade and sword shadow also pointed at Chao Ge with a smile on his face. Seeing this situation, Hai Lao and a group of Xuanzong disciples hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Chao Ge, forming a confrontation with Chu Lingtian and the others. Wei Li, who was also deeply shocked, chose to be silent for the first time, he and his subordinates did not stand on Chu Lingtian's side or Chaoge's side, but silently retreated to the side and quietly observed the crisis in the tent.

"You are so bold, you dare to assassinate Lord Lan!" Ma Rufeng originally had no good impression of the people of Xuanzong, but now he was even more furious when he saw Lan Shixun tragically die at the hands of Chaoge, and then shouted angrily, "Outside the tent is Lord Lan's army of more than 100,000 people, I think you are impatient!"

"Lan Shixun is dead, even if you kill us now, what can you do?" Hai Lao sneered unhurriedly and said, "Lan Shixun and the Lan family's clansmen are all dead, and the master you rely on has now become a cold corpse, what are you talking about Lord Lan's army of hundreds of thousands?"

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Lingtian's eyes were as cold as ice, and he gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Why did you kill Lord Lan?"

"Didn't I just say it, because I want to give you a big gift?" hehe......" Chao Ge stretched out his hand and gently pointed to the dozen or so corpses behind him, the smile on his face was still charming and moving, "How is it?"

"Is it because Lord Lan once blamed the Eastern Sect Master for Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect?" Chu Lingtian didn't pay attention to Chao Ge's words, and still asked to himself, "Is it because Lord Lan had a dispute with the Eastern Sect Master?" That's why you ......?"

"You overestimate Lan Shixun too much!" Before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, Hai Lao said indifferently, "In the eyes of the Eastern Sect Master, Lan Shixun is just a disobedient dog!

"What are you talking about?" Ma Rufeng glared at his blood-red one-eyed eye, and shouted angrily, "Lord Lan and the Eastern Sect Leader originally joined forces to deal with the Emperor Yan Chong, they should be on an equal footing, and now you actually say that Lord Lan is the dog of the Eastern Sect Master, can you find death?"

"Hmph! Lan Shixun's body is right in front of you, you have to admit this matter, and you have to recognize it if you don't recognize it!" Hai Lao seemed to be angered by Ma Rufeng's words, so his tone became more and more cold, "If you are unwilling, the old man can send you to see Lan Shixun now!" After that, a vast soul power suddenly overflowed from Hai Lao's body, and rushed straight towards Ma Rufeng, which made Ma Rufeng, who was originally angry and manic, instantly feel a huge coercion, under this coercion, he was almost all over his body in a cold sweat.

"General Wei Li doesn't have to worry, all the conditions that Lan Shixun promised to the beast clan in the past are now all followed by the Eastern Sect Master, and he will never change half a point!" Chao Ge first said to Wei Li with a smile, and then his beautiful eyes turned and looked straight at Chu Lingtian with a pair of charming eyes, "Now that Lan Shixun is dead, you are the commander in the army!" Chao Ge spat out Youlan, and her soft voice couldn't help but be intoxicated, just listen to her say slowly, " The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, I think General Chu should be very clear about the ability of the Eastern Sect Master, serving the Eastern Sect Master is naturally much better than serving Lan Shixun, this big gift The little woman has been sent to General Chu, but I don't know if General Chu is willing to accept it?"

Listening to Chao Ge's words, Chu Lingtian's eyes were trembling slightly, his eyes were staring at the corpses of Lan Shixun and others, his eye circles had inadvertently become a little ruddy, his fists tightened in his sleeves were sometimes clenched, sometimes loosened, and his heart was constantly hesitating and struggling, grief, shock, despair, anger, surprise...... Countless feelings were intertwined and surged into his heart at the same time, making Chu Lingtian feel mixed and confused at the moment. Lan Shixun has a great kindness to him, so he should swear to avenge Lan Shixun, but Chu Lingtian is a smart person who is very good at calculating gains and losses, he is different from Ma Rufeng's pure martial arts, compared to being simple and rude, Chu Lingtian is more scheming and the city.

If Lan Shixun still had a breath left at this moment, then Chu Lingtian would definitely not hesitate to draw his sword against Chao Ge and swear to fight to the end for Lan Shixun. But the reality in front of him is that Lan Shixun has already died, not only is Lan Shixun dead, but even the clansmen of the Lan family have been killed by Hai Lao and the disciples of Xuanzong. Then what's the point of him fighting to the death to take revenge? Not to mention whether Chu Lingtian can beat Hai Lao and Chao Ge, even if he can kill both of them today, what about Dongfang Su? Can he survive under Dongfang Su's pursuit? Although Chu Lingtian's cultivation is not shallow, he is still very self-aware, and he understands very well that he is by no means the opponent of Chao Ge and Hai Lao, so insisting on revenge actually means killing himself and burying Lan Shixun! But is he Chu Ling naïve and willing to give up his life and a good future for Lan Shixun in vain?

In other words, the conditions offered to him by Chao Ge had actually left a lot of touch in Chu Lingtian's heart. Therefore, in addition to the negative emotions of grief, anger, and shock, there was even a touch of excitement and expectation in Chu Lingtian's heart.

"General, what are we waiting for?" Ma Rufeng forcibly endured Hai Lao's coercion, and urged Chu Lingtian angrily, "We fought with them, is it possible that there are more than 100,000 brothers outside and are still afraid of them so many people?"

For Ma Rufeng's words, Chu Lingtian's eyes suddenly shook, as if Ma Rufeng's words suddenly woke him up from his contemplation just now, and this blank hesitation was undisguised on Chu Lingtian's face. And Fan Jiang, who had been standing silent, took in all this, and at the same time, there was a faint layer of thought between Fan Jiang's eyebrows.

"General, One-Eyed is willing to take the lead for you, and swear to avenge Lord Lan to the death!" With that, Ma Rufeng glared at a blood-red eye and raised his knife to slash at the group of Xuanzong disciples in front of him, "Kill ......"

"Poof!"

"Forehead ......"

However, before Ma Rufeng roared angrily and rushed to the front of the Xuanzong disciples, a sharp short sword stabbed into his back heart without warning, Ma Rufeng only felt that his back heart was suddenly cold, and then there was a sharp pain in his chest, and when he lowered his head, his chest was actually a three-inch sharp sword tip. The crimson blood was bubbling out like flowing water along the blade of the sword, and the blood continued to stay at the tip of the sword, and finally gathered into round droplets of blood and dripped to the ground like a torrential rain.

"Wow!" This situation made the account in an uproar again, especially for the generals in Lan Shixun's camp, their brains were blank, and they looked at this scene in a panic, obviously they hadn't been able to figure out what was going on.

"Forehead ......"

"Boom!"

The intense pain of being pierced in the heart caused Ma Rufeng's whole body to be quickly drained, and as soon as his right hand was released, the big knife also fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Ma Rufeng's throat continued to let out bursts of painful roars, and the mouthful of blood in his slightly open mouth kept gushing outward as if he didn't want money, he used all the strength he had left, desperately turning his body slowly backwards, and when he turned around completely, Fan Jiang's tearful face mixed with remorse, anger, and cold emotions was impressively presented in front of Ma Rufeng's eyes.

Obviously, the fatal knife behind Ma Rufeng was from Fan Jiang's hand.

"Fan Jiang, you ......"

Ma Rufeng didn't even finish the last sentence smoothly, his words were replaced by the sound of endless blood pouring out, and then the vitality in Ma Rufeng's single eye quickly dissipated, and in an instant, his eyes became a dead silence, and Ma Rufeng's whole person fell to the ground. Until the moment of death, Ma Rufeng's fingers were pointing at Fan Jiang with difficulty, and there was a thick doubt and incomprehension in his single eye.

"Fan Jiang, what are you doing?" Chu Lingtian shouted angrily, "How can you ......?"

"General Chu!" Fan Jiang suddenly knelt down at Chu Lingtian, "Lan Shixun's general trend is gone, Ma Rufeng will kill all our brothers sooner or later." Forgive Fan Jiang for risking his life and bluntly saying that even if General Chu is for the lives of more than 100,000 brothers in our camp and for the future of our battalion in northern Xinjiang, I ask the general to agree to the request of King Chao Geming and take the position of commander in the army! Otherwise, Ma Rufeng will not be the only one who will accompany Lan Shixun to be buried! Now that Lan Shixun is dead, please ask General Chu to put the overall situation first!"

"Please General Chu put the overall situation first!" Seeing Fan Jiang's move, the other generals in the tent also knelt on the ground and begged in unison. Even if they have any opinions in their hearts, they don't dare to say more at this moment, after all, this is a critical moment of life and death.

Chu Lingtian's eyes trembled and he looked at Ma Rufeng, who was not staring at him, and then looked at Lan Shixun's corpse for a long time, and then looked around the generals who were kneeling around him and begging bitterly, the pain on his face was self-evident.

"General Chu, the law does not blame the public, don't chill the hearts of the brothers?" Chao Ge reminded with a smile, "Here, the little girl would like to congratulate General Chu on finally breaking free from the shackles of Lan Shixun, and the power is well deserved!"

Hearing Chao Ge's words, Chu Lingtian hesitated for a long time before his trembling eyes slowly closed, and nodded lightly with a complicated expression. And at the moment when he nodded in agreement, two lines of silent tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and finally dripped to the ground, mixed with the red blood flowing from Ma Rufeng.

When blood and tears merge, the brothers of life and death for more than ten years have been separated forever!
