Hearing now, Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao - or rather, Xiao Feng Xiao Daxia, Simple Jian Daxia - have almost guessed the reason.

"But actually, we were all wrong! No matter how weak a demon beast is, it is impossible to be afraid of mere mortals. The reason why it was afraid was that it smelled the smell of those people, and they carried weapons and armor made from monsters that were far more advanced than the iron armor! ”

"Beast Slayer!" Qiao Feng said in a deep voice.

The elder smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's right! It's the Beast Slayer! This group was supposed to be the weakest patrol force in the Vietnamese Navy, but it turned out to be the most elite beast slaughtering army! ”

"At the time, no one knew it, and that's it. But they had not gone far before the warships caught up and attacked them! ”

"And then?" Qiao Feng asked.

"Several ships sank directly, and most of the people died, but a few of the disciples had good luck and better luck, and they actually returned to the main gate alive." The elder sighed, "We were shocked that they reported the news secretly, and we really didn't know what to do!" ”

"Just when we were at a loss, several sects that had been hostile to us suddenly appeared with masters at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and they immediately launched a large-scale attack, where can we resist! Losing and retreating...... Seeing it, it's about to be destroyed......"

The elder looked very depressed, and his face was full of helplessness: "How can a master at the peak of the day after tomorrow appear out of thin air!" Those sects must have received the support of the Yue Imperial Court! I even suspect that the so-called 'acquired peak master' is simply played by the fierce general in the beast slaughtering army! ”

"You leaked the news?" Lin Xiao asked, "You can actually leak this kind of fateful news?" ”

"How is that possible! Except for the two disciples who came back alive, there were only a few of us old guys who knew the truth about the shipwreck. Those two disciples are now arranged by us in an extremely secret place, guarded by an old brother with a very tight mouth, and will never come out until the dust settles......"

"Then how can they possibly know the Tao?" Lin Xiao sneered, "My father taught me back then that people who do great things are already good at keeping secrets, and you must know that 'if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body'." In my opinion, you haven't been able to keep a good secret of your troubles this time! ”

The elder didn't dare to argue with this master who was at least at the peak of the day after tomorrow, so he had to sigh, but looking at his face full of wrongs, it really didn't look like he had leaked the secret.

Qiao Feng pondered for a moment and sighed: "In my opinion, you may not have leaked the secret, but if you actually break this matter, it means that the existence of your Nine Swords Gate is indeed a potential trouble for this military operation of the South Vietnamese Kingdom." ”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he analyzed: "This operation of the South Vietnamese State should still be in full swing, and all kinds of preparations are not yet ready. At this sensitive point in time, they can't tolerate anything that would lead to a leak, right? ”

Lin Xiao and the elders of the Nine Swords Sect present all nodded.

"This time, the Nine Swords Gate broke through the Beast Slayer Army's hide, although it was just an accident, but the reason for it, we can see that this 'accident' is actually not so accidental."

He saw that Lin Xiao was already clear, but several elders were still confused, so he continued to explain: "The disciples of the Nine Swords Sect have been walking in the division of Chu and Yue all the year round, and they have seen a lot. If there is anyone in this port who is more likely to see through the movements of the Beast Slayer Army, you are obviously the most likely. ”

"It's just a 'maybe......,'" one of the elders muttered, "I thought I might live to be a hundred years old......

"For us ordinary people, 'maybe' is nothing, and 'maybe' cannot be used as a basis for conviction. But for the big guys, it's different. Qiao Feng sighed, "Throughout the ages, how many loyal ministers and famous generals have been killed because of 'possible rebellion'. Not to mention, more than ten years ago, wasn't General Fengming of the Great Han Kingdom because he was born in a Cheng clan and had a high prestige in the army, so he was relieved of military power and sent to the first emperor to guard the mausoleum? ”

"And he went there for two months and then 'died'." Lin Xiao added, "Only the dead are the least likely to cause trouble." ”

A few elders of the Nine Swords Sect, I look at you, you look at me, and they all saw shock, dazedness, and disbelief on each other's faces...... and despair and pain.

As this Xiao Daxia said, for the high-ranking Emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, just the possibility of a little leak was enough for him to make up his mind to eradicate the Nine Swords Gate. The foundation of the Nine Swords Sect for hundreds of years and thousands of disciples are all things that are not worth caring about at all for him.

"The reason why the Beast Slayer Army has not officially come forward is probably because they don't want to alarm all countries - the current situation in Da Yue should have made all countries vigilant. It's just that the beast slaughtering army hasn't moved yet, and they estimate that the Great Yue Kingdom is just a temptation for the time being, but they didn't expect that the little brothers of the seven kingdoms of Kyushu have a great appetite, and they are playing for real as soon as they start it. Qiao Feng said slowly, "But...... This is where our opportunity lies. ”

"Still a chance?" Several elders suddenly came and stared at him intently, as if they wanted to make offerings to him as a bodhisattva.

Qiao Feng was very uncomfortable by their gaze, and laughed dryly twice before saying, "Since Da Yue Guo hasn't done it yet, it means that things may still turn around." If at this time, the naval army of the Great Chu State made a posture of vigilance, what do you say would happen to them? ”

"Will you just give up?" An elder asked.

"Maybe, but that's none of your business." Lin Xiao said lightly, "Giving up the invasion of Dachu doesn't mean that they won't make some preparations first and eradicate your group of guys who may leak secrets." ”

"How can this be?" And the elders groaned again.

In fact, these old rivers and lakes should not be so bad, but the situation of the Nine Swords Sect has been too bad recently, in the face of the joint attack of various hostile sects, they have been staggering, and they have reached the point where they can't hold on, and even the master of this generation was killed in battle a few days ago. And the nine famous swords that have been passed down from generation to generation, except for the Broken Cloud Sword that was taken away by Xie Minghuan and is now brought by Qiao Feng and Lin Xiaodang as tokens, the remaining eight have already broken six in the fierce battle!

Since the establishment of the Nine Swords Gate, the nine famous swords have not been damaged in any way. Now it has broken six in a row...... In the eyes of the elders, this probably means that the Qi of the Nine Swords Sect has reached the end......

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to display their experience and talents accumulated over the years, which is why they seem so at a loss, almost like a group of fledgling juniors.

The most exaggerated thing is that if it weren't for the sect master's junior apprentice Jiang Leng taking it upon himself to go to Master Xie Minghuan to save his life, they would probably only be in this kind of confusion and panic, ushering in the destruction of the Nine Swords Gate.

"It stands to reason that Yue Guo will not let go of the Nine Swords Gate." Qiao Feng, who was alias Xiao Feng, said in a deep voice, "But since we are here, the situation is different. ”

"Could it be that the two heroes know someone in the Yue Imperial Court? Can you help talk? The elders of the Nine Swords Sect suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao glanced at each other and smiled without saying a word

Roughly as they guessed, although Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao were also inconvenient to directly fight against the Yue Imperial Court, they really knew people in the Yue Imperial Court, and they were very, very heavy ministers.

The head of the princes of the Great Yue Kingdom, the Marquis of Qinghe, Yi Changgong.
