Chapter 274: Secret Killing
readx;? The Northern Xinjiang Battalion, which garrisoned 100,000 troops, is located in the middle of Zhuowolf Grassland and Dingbei Town, with a distance of more than 300 miles from north to south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And whether it is the scale or the momentum, it looks much more magnificent than Han Xiao's 50,000-person camp.
Late at night, the big camp in northern Xinjiang, the big tent of the Chinese army.
Chu Lingtian, who was already short in stature, was lazily leaning on the chair behind the handsome case at the moment, holding a warm wine jug in both hands, and the spout was still steaming outward, I don't know if Chu Lingtian was warming his hands or drinking.
Ma Rufeng and Fan Jiang sat on both sides of the tent and stared ahead with their eyes like torches, and in the middle of the big tent there was a bunch of burning bonfires, and above the bonfire was hanging a huge copper kettle with two iron shelves, and the copper kettle "gurgling" in the sound of liquid boiling, wisps of slightly cyan heat curled out at the mouth of the pot, and a thick smell of ginger soup also filled the whole tent.
Obviously, what was boiling in this copper kettle was the ginger tea that Zhou Xin said was prepared for Lan Chen and Lu Yifan.
"My lord, after waiting for so long, Prince Lanchen is finally here!" Ma Rufeng said excitedly, and his single eye flashed with a terrifying light with the expression on his face.
"It's a pity that Gongzi Lan Chen is still a step late!" Fan Jiang said with a distressed expression, and as he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him rather melancholy, and drank all the spirits in the glass, which seemed to be a bit of a sense of borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.
Ma Rufeng first looked at Chu Lingtian, and after finding that Chu Lingtian was still sitting there expressionlessly and warming his hands, he turned his gaze to Fan Jiang and asked with a puzzled expression: "Fan Jiang, what do you mean by this? Why is Young Master Lan Chen a step late?"
"Just now I raised my eyes to the north and found that the northern grassland was in flames, and when I pinched my fingers, it was the place where Han Xiao was at the junction of the ice fields!" Fan Jiang gently stroked his goatee with his hand, and said with a solemn face, "Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?" Ma Rufeng naturally knew something about the fire in the north, but he was far less thoughtful than Fan Jiang, "Isn't it just a fire? Maybe the sergeant accidentally lit the camp tent while cooking." ”
Ma Rufeng's words made Fan Jiang glared at him with disgust, and Ma Rufeng was a monk who was confused, so he could only scratch his big bald head in a curt.
"It seems that the orcs don't believe us anymore!" Suddenly, Chu Lingtian, who had not said a word, opened his mouth to speak, his voice was still gentle and flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "It is precisely because we have been holding our troops for a long time that the orc masters they sent in were killed by Han Xiao one by one in the northern frontier, and Han Xiao Chen's soldiers were at the junction with the ice field, so that the communication between the orcs and the northern frontier was completely blocked, so the orcs decided that we stabbed them in the back, so they couldn't bear it anymore and finally raised their troops!"
"How is that possible?" Ma Rufeng looked at Chu Lingtian with a surprised expression, "But didn't the Lord predict that the Beast Clan would not raise troops because of Madam Zhao and a few masters?
"No!" Fan Jiang shook his head and said, "What the Lord said before was when the Orcs still trusted us!, but now the Orcs don't believe us at all, and the reigning Orc Emperor is an extremely cruel person, and he was able to promise Lord Lan to help him raise troops because of the many benefits in the Sanctuary." Now that his orcs have paid so much, and our side is reluctant to do it, in the end, the orcs have suffered heavy casualties but have gained nothing, in exchange for you are the lord of the beast domain, will you be willing?"
"So you mean ......"
"The Beast Domain Lord, this is giving us one last chance!" Chu Lingtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a gloomy face, "The original plan was that we would raise troops first, and the Beast Clan would cooperate with us to build momentum. And now that we don't move, the beast clan will force us to take action first! The Beast Domain Emperor has already thought very clearly, or we will join him in the army. Either he will make a big deal and lead people to loot in the northern frontier, and then stab this matter to the Emperor Yanchong, so that we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and we are not people inside and outside!"
"What a ruthless move!" Ma Rufeng shouted angrily, "He's just a foreigner, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at us here?"
"Once Lord Lan decides to rebel, the beast clan will no longer be a foreign race!" Chu Lingtian took a deep breath, and then said word by word in the puzzled eyes of Ma Rufeng and Fan Jiang, "I won't hide it from you, the condition for the Beast Domain Emperor to help Lord Lan is to let the beast clan completely occupy the northern territory of the holy domain, and the people of the beast clan can freely enter and leave the core area of the holy domain in the future!"
"This ......" As soon as Chu Lingtian's words came out, Ma Rufeng and Fan Jiang were stunned. The two of them didn't know about this secret before, they only thought that Lan Shixun had given the Beast Domain Emperor a lot of benefits, so they just asked the Beast Clan to do a favor. But I never thought that there would be such harsh conditions here.
"Isn't this the division of the territory of the Holy Domain to the Beast Clan?" Ma Rufeng 'Hula' stood up suddenly, his fists clenched tightly, and the whole person was shaken with anger, "Although I am loyal to Lord Lan, but I would rather die than give in if I condone the Beast Clan so much!"
"Presumptuous!" Chu Lingtian sat up straight suddenly, his gaze shooting straight at Ma Rufeng like a knife, "Lord Lan is so smart, how could he allow you to criticize yourself here!"
"Ma Rufeng, sit down quickly! Don't provoke the adult's anger!" Seeing this, Fan Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the tall and tall Ma Rufeng back to the chair, "Lord Lan means to promise some benefits to the beast clan first, and let them help us succeed." When Lord Lan really dominated the Holy Domain, hehe...... "Although Fan Jiang's words did not continue, Ma Rufeng had already understood what he meant, and his face softened a little at the moment, and when he saw Chu Lingtian's cold eyes, he hurriedly smiled, and then picked up his wine glass and smiled cheekily at Chu Lingtian: "It's me who is reckless, deserve to die, deserve to die, deserve to die!"
"Bastard, if you let me hear you criticize Lord Lan again, see if I don't gouge out your remaining eye for you!" Chu Lingtian reprimanded again.
"Yes, yes, if I talk nonsense again, I will gouge out this eye and make amends to the adults......!"
"Actually, it's too late, it's not too late to say it's not too late!" Fan Jiang saw that the deadlock had been broken, and he smiled mysteriously, "It's up to Young Master Lan Chen to do it!"
"Fan Jiang, don't fucking sell Guanzi, Lao Tzu's head is not as bright as yours, if you have a fart, just let it go, don't make eighteen turns to let Lao Tzu smell it!" Ma Rufeng urged Fan Jiang impatiently.
"Haha......" Hearing Ma Rufeng's words, Chu Lingtian and Fan Jiang couldn't help but glance at each other, and then the two of them laughed loudly, Fan Jiang even reached out and patted Ma Rufeng's thick shoulder, and smiled unhurriedly, "Listen to me, Prince Lanchen will arrive at the camp soon, and there is a Lu Yifan with him." Do you know what this Lu Yifan is doing?"
"It's not the ...... sent by Han Xiao to spy on us," Ma Rufeng said in a loud voice.
"That's good!" Fan Jiang glanced at Ma Rufeng approvingly, and continued, "That's why we boiled such a pot of ginger tea to ward off their cold!" As he spoke, two rays of light suddenly shot out from Fan Jiang's eyes, shooting straight towards the huge copper kettle caught on the fire in the tent.
"You mean there's something wrong with this ginger tea?" Ma Rufeng looked at the copper kettle in front of him in surprise.
"Yes and no!" Fan Jiang smiled mysteriously, "I have already put in the tea the soul condensation powder that I have personally concocted, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it can even be said that it is non-toxic and harmless, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal descends to the mortal world, he will not notice what kind of poison this is, of course, this is in a calm state!"
"Non-toxic and harmless? Peace of mind? What does that mean?"
"The medicine is as its name suggests, condense the soul and disperse it! After a person takes it, he can't mobilize half of his soul power, otherwise the medicine will become highly poisonous and will become stronger and stronger with the injection of soul power, and finally the poisonous fire will attack the heart, and half a cup of tea can kill people invisibly!" Fan Jiang said slowly with a smile, "And after three hours, the medicinal properties will naturally dissipate, not only harmless to people, but will also have some benefits ......of dispelling cold and relieving fatigue!"
"In other words, we are going to force Lu Yifan and them to make a move after they drink this pot of tea?" Ma Rufeng reacted very quickly this time.
"Not bad!" Chu Lingtian nodded in affirmation, "It's just that there is an extremely peculiar master under Lu Yifan's command, and this person is named Liu Sandao." You've fought with him before, and this person is said to have no soul power, but he really has a very good way to do it!"
"That's right!" Ma Rufeng hurriedly nodded in agreement as soon as he heard Liu Sandao's name, "This Liu Sandao is simply not human, and there is no soul power in his body to support him, but both speed and strength are far above me!"
"Impossible!" Fan Jiang said with a frown, "Could it be that his cultivation is so high that he conceals it so well that you don't notice it?"
"This ......" was asked by Fan Jiang, Ma Rufeng couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and lowered his head and pondered. Because if Liu Sandao is so powerful but has no soul power, even he himself doesn't dare to believe it.
"Killing Lu Yifan is Lord Lan's own life!" Chu Lingtian waved his hand and said, "As for this Liu Sandao...... At that time, if he can really ignore the medicinal properties of this soul condensation, then the general will personally take his life!"
"That's right! There are 100,000 soldiers in the army, I don't believe that I can't kill him with a willow sword!" Ma Rufeng laughed and agreed.
"It's just that Young Master Lanchen is ......" Fan Jiang looked at Chu Lingtian worriedly, "We didn't discuss this matter with him, if Young Master Lanchen suddenly stands up and obstructs it at that time...... That's not going to be easy!"
"So we can't fight openly!" Chu Lingtian stared at the pot of ginger tea in front of him with a solemn gaze, the blazing bonfire flickered strangely in his eyes, "Find a reason, you just need to force Lu Yifan to make a move! Once the pill attack insists on half a cup of tea, he will definitely die! By then, the wood has already been completed, and I think Lan Chen Gongzi will naturally not say anything more!" What's more, if Lu Yifan doesn't die, Young Master Lan Chen will always have a fetters who can't make up his mind, if Young Master Lan Chen doesn't give me an order personally, I will definitely not be able to move a single soldier! And if we delay for a few more days, after the beast army completely enters the northern frontier, we will really fall into the belly and back of the enemy. Therefore, killing Lu Yifan is the top priority! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Ma Rufeng and Fan Jiang nodded firmly in agreement.
"As for Han Xiao......" Chu Lingtian couldn't help but sigh lightly when he said this, "I hope there will be good news from Jinling City......
"Report!"
Suddenly, a rapid sound of news suddenly came from outside the tent, and then I saw a tall figure outside the tent curtain running to the front and kneeling there, reporting loudly, "My lord, Master Lanchen, they are less than ten miles away from the camp gate!"
"Oh?" Chu Lingtian in the account couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and a flash of excitement flashed on his face, and then completely ignored the reactions of Fan Jiang and Ma Rufeng, and actually strode towards the outside of the account, the speed of the pace showed how eager he was to see Lan Chen, Chu Lingtian said excitedly as he walked, "Quickly line up and go with me to meet you outside the camp gate!"
"Yes!" With a promise, Chu Lingtian had already walked out of the tent gate and walked towards the camp gate with the sergeant.
In the account, Ma Rufeng looked at Fan Jiang with a surprised expression, and said with a puzzled face: "Although the prince of Lan Chen has a noble status, he will not let the adults greet him in person, right?
Hearing Ma Rufeng's words, Fan Jiang shook his head with a bitter smile, and then he glanced left and right, before he came to Ma Rufeng's side, and said quickly in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Don't talk nonsense! Although Lan Chen is the second son, he is Lord Lan's favorite son, and in Lord Lan's heart, the status of the second son Lan Chen is much higher than that of the eldest son Lan Jin, which can be seen from the fact that Lord Lan sent the second son to lead the camp in Northern Xinjiang." The second son is now less than twenty years old, and he has been deeply used by Lord Lan and sent to decide the life and death of 100,000 people, do you understand the purpose of this?"
"I don't understand!" Ma Rufeng shook his head in confusion.
"You, you!" Fan Jiang angrily stretched out his hand and patted Ma Rufeng's head, and continued, "If you don't learn to be smarter in the future, even if you charge into battle and die on the battlefield, you won't be reused in the end! Let me tell you, Lord Lan attaches so much importance to the second son because ......" Fan Jiang's words couldn't help but glance left and right again, and after confirming that there was no one around, he covered his mouth with his palm and said quickly, "Lan Chen is actually the candidate for the future inheritance of the great unification set in Lord Lan's heart!"
"What?"
"Shhh......hh
"The future Lord of the Sanctuary!" Ma Rufeng's one-eyed eyes widened at this moment, and his eyes were full of sudden realization.
"That's good!" Fan Jiang smirked, "So do you think it's an exaggeration for the Lord to personally lead people out of the camp to greet him tonight?"
"This ......" At this moment, Ma Rufeng couldn't say half a sentence anymore.
"Hehe, my lord, he is not greeting Prince Lan Chen tonight, but the future Lord of the Holy Land!"
After that, without waiting for Ma Rufeng, who was stunned, to react, Fan Jiang grabbed Ma Rufeng's arm and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the tent gate, and the two walked quickly towards the camp gate one after the other.
At this moment, Zhou Xin and dozens of horsemen and horses with Lan Chen and Lu Yifan had already appeared outside the camp gate, on the camp gate avenue lined with torches on both sides.
