Chapter 70: Heading South (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Nanping is extinguished?
Nanping is extinguished!
The news spread throughout Datang overnight, and then everyone was boiling. Everyone's eyes were on the north, at the ancient city on the bank of Luoshui.
Nanping Pass, standing in the south of Rongtianling Mountain, east of Luoshui, has not fallen down for thousands of years, and now, it has become an empty city.
This is an unprecedented tragedy!
Even when the battle between the two sides was the most intense, Nanping Pass changed hands, and there was never a situation where the whole army was destroyed.
The commander of the town guarding Nanping Pass is Feng Yu, an old general who is out of the division.
General Feng is old and strong, a low-grade spiritual weapon white dragon spear, killing countless enemies, and making countless contributions to the establishment of the Haoqi Alliance.
But now, he's dead...... There were three swords and two swords in his body, and the fatal one stabbed straight to the heart, cutting off all his vitality.
And his white dragon spear was also broken, and the whereabouts of the spear head are still unknown.
From the old general Feng Yu to the horseman, none of the 5,000 soldiers in Nanping Pass survived.
Nanping Pass has been reduced to an empty city, and the happiest people are the people in the Valley of the Wicked.
Because across the river from Nanping Pass, is the Kunlun Pass of the Valley of the Wicked, at this time, as long as a leaf of light boat crosses the river, you can pick the fruitful fruit of Nanping Pass.
As long as you firmly hold this throat, you can wave to the east, toss and turn south, and then it is a horse Pingchuan, seize Jinshui Town, take Bashan, and drive straight in, you can point to the core of the Haoqi Alliance.
As soon as the news came out, the spearhead was pointed at the Valley of the Wicked.
Countless soldiers of the Haoqi Alliance submitted blood letters one after another, threatening to ask those treacherous vicious dogs to pay for their blood debts and avenge General Feng!
Although the Famous Sword Conference is now held at the last moment, the general trend is the same, and the two sides of the heroic and evil people have long died down, so they just need to wait for the results of the Famous Sword Conference to be announced.
But the fundamental reason why the Valley of the Wicked is called the Valley of the Wicked, rather than the Valley of the Good, is the word "Wicked".
There has always been no shortage of strange people in the valley...... All right. To put it bluntly, it is the big devil who does all kinds of evil, and his valley lord Wang Snow Demon has a precedent of slaughtering 10,000 people in Gongcheng with his own strength!
Since this is the case, it is conceivable that the fall of Nanping Pass must be the handiwork of the Wicked Valley.
With Haoqi Alliance's understanding of the Valley of the Wicked, it is simply a common thing to do such a treacherous thing.
And the other side. Not only the Haoqi Alliance, but even the Valley of the Wicked itself also thought that it should be a certain old man of the Valley of the Wicked who was scheming and caught the rats off guard and took Nanping Pass by surprise.
Faced with such a result in front of them, countless people were excited and red-eyed.
What a good opportunity, in the previous battles, it is not that the Valley of the Wicked has not tried to win Nanping Pass. But this Nanping Pass is the same as Kunlun Pass. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every time the Valley of the Wicked takes Nanping Pass, he is already injured, and he is no longer able to attack, and even the defense is under great pressure.
But now. Without spending a single soldier, he was able to take Nanping Pass, and he attacked the past with the whole army intact, without the advantage of geographical advantages. How can those rookies of the Haoqi Alliance stop the army of wicked?
As a result, countless militants shouted that they would use Nanping Pass as a springboard to directly enter the headquarters of the Haoqi Alliance and eliminate the rat nest!
As for the Famous Sword Conference?
What's that? Isn't it delicious?
No one would really think. A newly launched Raushzi "Famous Sword Conference" alone can resolve the grievances between the two parties for thousands of years.
At least, no one thinks so except for the high-ranking elders of both sides.
However, before the people of the Valley of the Wicked could react, or even rejoice, another bad news came the next day.
Kunlun Pass has fallen! Similar to Nanping Pass, the 5,000 soldiers in Guanzhong were wiped out, and none of them survived.
Kunlun in Nanping, a strip of water, is the two most important passes in the north of the villain's mighty spirit, but now overnight, they have fallen one after another.
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked. After the shock, the problem arises.
Who did it?
Is it revenge?
Is it provocation? or ...... Foreign aggression?
This is a serious problem.
Because in the Tang Dynasty, there are not only the two camps of the wicked and the mighty, but also a small number of evil sects that are afraid of chaos in the world and are not tolerated by the two camps, such as the Tianyi Sect, the Cardinal Sect, the Spring God Sect and so on......
What's more, although there has been no time to look north in the past few years, no one will forget that in the northern part of the Rongtianling Mountain Range, there is a real third-party force-the Wolf Tooth Army.
Although the Wolf Tooth Army has been shrinking within the Rongtianling Mountain Range, and has never taken half a step south, and has not even revealed its intention to go south, no one will let down their guard because of this.
Contempt is a strategic attitude, while vigilance is a strategic approach.
The two major passes of Nanping and Kunlun, the most important work in recent years is also to pay close attention to every move of the Wolf Tooth Army.
And now, Nanping Kunlun has fallen one after another, is it that people with intentions are deliberately provoking and deliberately disrupting the famous sword conference? Or are the wolf cubs in the north finally unable to bear the loneliness and want to raise an army to the south?
The border is too far away, and the transmission of news will inevitably be delayed.
In fact, when the news reached Jiangnan, it was three days after the destruction of Nanping and Kunlun. Many people know the news, but they don't know the inside story.
As soon as the news spread, countless evil sects jumped out and claimed to be responsible for the matter.
For example, the "Spring God Sect", they shouted that the end of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, and the day of judgment is coming, calling on everyone to believe in the Spring God and get eternal life......
For such a clown, no one with a discerning eye will put it in his eyes. But soon, people began to pay attention again. Because the Spring God Sect, which was the most noisy yesterday, today their old nest, Spring God Town, is gone......
The Spring God Sect went up to the sect leader and down to the disciples, and a thousand people were destroyed.
Although it is only a small sect with barely a thousand people, no one will ignore their existence.
Because Chuntian Town is the closest to Kunlun Pass, it is also right next to Xiangwanyuan, the road that Datang must pass through from north to south.
Went south!
All signs are that they are heading south!
Who are they?
As more and more follow-up information comes one after another, the answer is already coming out: the Wolf Tooth Army!
On the fifth day after the fall of Nanping Pass, and on the fourth day after Kunlun Pass was slaughtered, a handwritten letter from the Wicked Valley Lord Wang Xuemo came out of the Wicked Valley, flew into the Haoqi Alliance, and fell into the hands of Xie Tianshu, the leader of the Haoqi Alliance.
The next day, the Sword Tournament was suspended.
......
......
Three more days later. Half a month has passed since Nangong came to Datang.
At this time, on the ruins of Spring God Town, a young man in Mai holding a wine gourd raised his eyebrows: "You mean...... The Famous Sword Tournament has been suspended?"
Bite!
He was answered by a crisp piano sound.
"Well, I see...... It's finally stopped...... It seems that Xie Tianshu's rat head is not as pedantic as he imagined......"
Wu Xiaochen nodded and said, then looked at the girl who was reading again, and asked, "So Su asked...... You say, the people who are behind us...... Who the hell is it?"
"I don't know!"
This is the answer given by the girl.
The "people" Wu Xiaochen mentioned are not the Wolf Tooth Army. It's not from one side of the mighty and wicked, and it's not from those chaotic evil sects, but from someone else.
The movements of those people were very suspicious, but they had an amazing tacit understanding with the actions of the five of them.
In the past half a month, under Wu Xiaochen's calculations, with Qianyin's seven emotions and seven injuries, the cooperation of the indifferent young man Mo Shuyan and the scimitar girl Sasha, as well as his own flower poison. The five of them successively destroyed the two major cities of Nanping and Kunlun, as well as several small forces in the south.
And what is the Spring God Cult. is one of them.
Their goal is clear, and that is to go south!
With death and chaos, keep going south.
But to do it, just five of them. It was a completely impossible task, even if they had the consciousness of death.
Fortunately, they are not alone.
And their allies. It is the "those people" that Wu Xiaochen said.
There were not many of them, only a handful of them, and they never went to war. He never came into contact with the five of them, like a bystander, always watching them act coldly, and then ......
Cooperate silently!
Yes, silently cooperate!
Wherever the five people passed, death was everywhere, such as Nanping Pass, Kunlun Pass, and Chunshen Town.
And after the five people left, "those people" appeared. As soon as they appeared, those places "came to life...... Of course, it's not the place that comes to life, it's the people on the place.
Man is dead!
Those corpses, without exception, have all become poisonous corpses, poisonous corpses unique to the Wolf Tooth Army! And those poisonous corpses do not wander around, but are trapped in place, completely controlled by instinct, numb and mechanically wandering.
“...... I think they're using us like guns. ”
Wu Xiaochen frowned, and a bold guess rose in his heart.
The girl asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"
"I don't know...... Wu Xiaochen took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "But if it weren't for that, it wouldn't be explained at all...... Think about it, what is the purpose of our trip?"
"The purpose? You said, kill a city and wake up all the people. ”
"That's right...... It is to kill a city and wake up all the people, but the question is...... How do you wake up, what's the point of waking up?"
"You mean ......"
"In the end, it's still the Wolf Tooth Army!"
Wu Xiaochen touched the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, frowned, and said, "No matter how much we kill and do more, it is nothing more than to blame the Wolf Tooth Army." No matter what the process is, as long as the people on the Jiangnan side know that this thing was done by the Wolf Tooth Army, it will be enough. ”
"And what's the best way to blame the Wolf Tooth Army? Wolf Cavalry? No!"
Wu Xiaochen shook his head and said, "It's obviously not enough to rely on the corpses of those cavalrymen, besides, maybe others may not be able to see it, but Feng Yu's death, how can the Wang Gu Lord not see that it is the handiwork of Humble Yan and Sasha? Therefore, if you want to blame the Wolf Tooth Army, there is no doubt that you have to start from somewhere else......"
The girl asked, "Poisonous corpse?"
Wu Xiaochen nodded and said, "Yes! It's a poisonous corpse...... Ha, good wine...... After the Five Witch Sects were destroyed, the method of refining corpses was in the hands of the Wolf Tooth Army, and there was only one one, and there was no other semicolon. Therefore, if you want to blame the Wolf Tooth Army, starting with the poisonous corpse is the best choice. Knife wounds and sword wounds can be faked, but poisonous corpses cannot be faked. ”
"Then what do you mean by those people using us as gunmen?"
"The answer is obvious, Su Q!"
The young man in Mai laughed: "Back then, the Five Witch Sects were destroyed, and only the Holy Maiden Su Manman survived, and then she was included in the Black Pool...... If she had no intention of revenge, it would be impossible. But it would be impossible for her alone, so I guess that the former saintess of the Five Witch Sect should be right behind us. ”
"And their plan is to be the same as us, to kill a city, wake up the people, and use the power of the Tang Jiangnan to completely destroy the Wolf Tooth Army. In the past few days, they have not made a move, perhaps because of a lack of strength, or they may not be willing to take action in person...... Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that the five of us were used as guns. ”
"But if that's the case...... So why don't they take matters into their own hands? We all have the same goal, so working together is the best way to do it......"
The girl asked her doubts.
Faced with such a question, the Mai young man frowned, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha...... The answer lies with anyone other than Sumanman...... Such pedantic, such hypocrisy, don't you think it's familiar?"
The girl's eyes lit up: "You mean ......"
The young man paused word by word, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it is...... What a calculation...... Feng Mingzhuo!" (To be continued......)
