Chapter 25: The Conspiracy Behind the Scenes
Wu Sa led the soldiers of the Falling Moon Kingdom to a complete victory, and rushed back to Guancheng with a few prisoners of war such as the Soul Pulling King. Along the way www.biquge.info Wu Sa asked Huai Chong: "Brother Huai came to the Demon Continent this time, did you still want to find your brothers and restore your prestige?"
Huai Chong said: "Don't hide it from General Wu, although our brothers from Weishen Island have been missing for so many years, I believe they must still be alive!"
Wu Sa said: "Brother Huai is really a person who values love and righteousness, and has a generous heart, the old king imprisoned you for eight years because of a horse, and now you not only hold grudges, but also help us repel the demon army, from now on, what will happen to Brother Huai in the Demon Continent, it is impossible to regulate!"
Huai Chong said: "General Wu, don't say it, I have another important matter in Mozhou this time, and I want to ask General Wu for help!"
Wu Sa said: "What's the matter, just say it to Brother Huai!"
Huai Chong no longer concealed it, and said: "General Wu, my senior brother had a mount called Rong Yunma back then, which was my senior brother's favorite mount, and it was also left by my master, but it was seized by your king at that time, I want to ask you to help me find a way to get it back!"
"Oh!" Wu Sa looked at him, then at the people behind Huai Chong, and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Huai, you didn't want to rob so many people here!"
Huai Chong hurriedly said: "I don't want to rob, I'm just a weak person, so I found my former old friend and helped gather some people, as for how to get it, I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely don't want to take it!"
Wu Sa patted his chest and said: "I know you won't do this, just a joke with you, I'll help you find a way to go back, if there is any difficulty, just tell me, in the next definition, but wait for me to finish the matter first!"
Huai Chong heard him say this and said: "General Wu, I don't know something, why did the person from the Heart-Eating Clan just say that there was only one Lanye County King, and you agreed to let them all go, does this Lanye King have any hidden secrets?"
Wu Sa sighed and said: "Brother Huai, you don't know, this Lanye County King and the first king were originally biological brothers, and now His Majesty the King calls him Uncle Wang, when the first king was in power, he has always been dissatisfied with the first king, and he has military power, the first king just took him without a problem, and then the demon clan invaded, and the 100,000 army attacked Lan Ye City, which you were also there at the time, you know." ”
Huai Chong nodded, and Wu Sa continued: " At that time, the army of Lan Ye City was insufficient, the first king ordered him to lead his troops to Lan Ye City to resist the demon army, he went to repel the demon army, the war subsided, the first king ordered him to return to the royal city, but he actually resisted the order, insisted on staying in Lan Ye City, the first king was also quite jealous of him, did not want to make too ugly trouble with him, sent people to invite him several times, he refused to obey the king's order, and said that Lan Ye City was saved thanks to him, and Lan Ye City should be sealed to him to guard, the first king really had no way to take him, and demoted him to the county king in a fit of anger, let him stay in Lan Ye City, and was named Lan Ye County King, and then after His Majesty ascended the throne now, he relied on the military power in his hands, and dared to fly in front of His Majesty the King, I don't put His Majesty in my eyes at all, a few days ago he insisted that I go to attack the Flame City, the Flame City has been captured by the Demon Clan, let us be sure to recapture it, but we have never had any war with the Demon Army over the years, and suddenly let us attack the Flame City, I think there must be something strange in this, and now the Demon Army took the initiative to attack my Wind Pass, he actually asked us to give up defending the city and follow him to attack the Flame City, he said: ' As long as we can capture Stop Flame City, what is it if we lose a Guancheng, not to mention that we go to attack Stop Flame City, then the demon army will definitely go to support the War Demon Clan in Stop Flame City, so that we can not only keep Guancheng, but also recapture Stop Flame City', although what he said is indeed reasonable, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this, so I didn't agree, but stayed to guard Jufeng Pass!"
Huai Chong understood some of the reasons and said: "You mean that you are afraid that the King of Lanye County will collude with the demon army, but these are not enough to say that the King of Lanye County colluded with the demon army, maybe he is just flamboyant and rude by nature!"
Wu Sa said: "There are still some things you don't understand, you will know when you have the chance!"
Huai Chong said: "If the King of Lanye County really wants to collude with the demon army, wouldn't the demon army have already overwhelmed the realm, why do you have to wait until now?"
Wu Sa smiled and said: "In fact, over the years, the king of Lanye County has always wanted to provoke a war between the Falling Moon Kingdom and the Demon Clan, but the Demon Clan is not a fool, they all know that he is ambitious, and they are afraid that he will take advantage of the confrontation between the two armies when the time comes, so the Demon Army is also resistant to him, plus we have not had any war with the Demon Clan in the past few years, because we all know that if we really want to fight, no one on both sides will look good, so we and the Demon Clan are looking for the whereabouts of the God Clan and the Black Black Clan, and we will not go to war as a last resort!"
"Then why did the demon army suddenly attack again this time?" Huai Chong still had questions.
Wu Sa said: "Actually, some things are not without reason, I'm afraid it has to start with you leaving the Falling Moon Country a month ago!"
"Oh!" Huai Chong heard him say suddenly, as if falling into a fog, "Does this also have something to do with me?"
Wu Sa said: "That's right, although I don't blame you, but it does have something to do with you, just after you left the Falling Moon Country last time, I don't know who spread the rumors," he suddenly approached Huai Chong and lowered his voice: "Say that you have the whereabouts of five artifacts on your body!"
"This ......" Huai Chong was stunned when he heard this, which was completely unexpected: "The five artifacts are only known to my senior brother Qu Long, but I really don't know!"
Wu Sa said again: " Let's not say if you know, there are also people who suspect that you will definitely find five artifacts when you go out this time, the demons are afraid that it will be unfavorable for them if you find no artifact, and they have sent people to find you several times, but they have returned in vain, and even the king of Lanye County has sent people to search for your whereabouts, and the demon clan has to find you before you bring the five artifacts, and we will have a fish to break the net with the Falling Moon Country, so if there is no king of Lanye County and they should cooperate with them, the demons will not dare to tear their faces with us, we must move the big stone of the king of Lanye County as soon as possible, but I don't have evidence yet!”
Huai Chong nodded and said, "Oh, I see, you want to get the handle of the Lanye County King from the mouth of that Heart-Eater just now!"
"That's right," Wu Sa said: "This time the Heart-Eater Clan came to attack Lan Ye City, although we caught the Soul Ripping King, but I'm afraid things are not so simple, the demon army will definitely do everything possible to force us to release people, if you don't get it, there will be a more powerful demon army to attack the city, we must deal with these things as soon as possible, as long as there is no Lan Ye County King to come out and interfere, we still have a chance to win!"
At this time, Zhuang Han suddenly threatened: "I think the demon army is nothing more than that, it is no different from ordinary people, just say that this soul pulling king, it is quite domineering when you hear the name, but it is actually vulnerable!"
Wu Sa said: "Don't underestimate this Heart-Eater, these people they came today are probably less than half of all of them, as for this Soul Eater King is just in charge of the Soul Eater's power of the Soul Eater, there is a Heart Eater above him, this guy is fierce and cruel, he likes to eat people's hearts, it is said that he eats too many people's hearts and can read people's minds, he is the Demon King of the Heart-Eating Clan, and the Soul Eater King is only second." ”
Zhuang Han said: "What is the Heart Eater, I want to see how powerful he is when I have a chance?"
Wu Sa said: "It is estimated that there are no more than five demon kings who are more powerful than the Heart Eater Demon among the twenty-six path demon kings!"
Huai Chong said: "So we have caught the Soul Pulling King, I'm afraid this heart eater won't let us go easily, we still need to be careful to take precautions!"
"Hmm," Takesa nodded.
Mo Xiaofeng didn't speak for a long time, lowered his head as if thinking about something, and then he suddenly spoke: "General, do you feel that something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" asked Vusa.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "General, have you noticed that while we are deceiving the Demon Army, we are almost deceived by ourselves!"
Wu Sa heard him sell the guanzi, and said anxiously: "Brother Mo, if there is anything, you can say it directly, what are we all deceived by ourselves?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "General, have we neglected one thing, that is, the enemy's reinforcements!"
"Ahh Mo Xiaofeng said again: "General, we keep lying to the demon army that their reinforcements have been wiped out, but in fact, their reinforcements have not been raided at all, but why haven't their reinforcements come yet, don't you think it's strange?"
"That's right!" Wu Sa said: "Don't you say that I forgot, why haven't their reinforcements come yet, is it really intercepted and killed on the way, but who is this interception that killed them?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "The general doesn't have to guess in vain, now we have to hurry back to the city, just in case something happens to the city, maybe everything will soon be revealed!"
Wu Sa said, "Well, let's hurry back to the city first!" and ordered everyone to speed up.
Everyone hurriedly returned to Guancheng, and saw that Guancheng was safe and sound, but the traces left by a big battle under the city just now had not been cleaned up, and they were relieved from the bottom of their hearts. When the people on the city wall saw the triumphant return of the army, they cheered and opened the gates to greet them. Wu Sa returned to the city and did not rush to celebrate, fearing that the reinforcements of the demon clan were likely to arrive at any time, so he arranged for people to take strict precautions, and arranged for people to detain more than a dozen captives who were captured, especially the interrogation of the deputy general Yan Jia, and immediately reported as soon as there was news. The next day, before the end of the day, Wu Sa and Huai Chong, Mo Xiaofeng and others were together to discuss the next step, Wu Sa sat in the middle facing south, and the rest of the people sat on both sides, and suddenly interrogated the deputy general's subordinates to report.
The man came in, and Wu Sa asked him, "How is the interrogation?" The subordinate said: "General, we spent a night interrogating him again and again, and even tortured him, but he never wanted us to reveal a word, and he kept laughing at you, and when we mentioned their reinforcements, he said that he wanted to see you, and he had something to say to you personally!" Wu Sa said angrily: "Okay, this stubborn bone, even laughing at Lao Tzu, see that I don't let him cry until he kneels and beg for mercy, hurry up and bring him to me!"
The man withdrew, and after a while, several men escorted the lieutenant, who by this time was already in rags, with his hair disheveled, and the marks of being whipped with a leather whip. He glanced at the people present, and even though he was so embarrassed, he still looked at Wusa with a contemptuous smile.
Wu Sa glared at him and said, "Boy, I heard that you dare to laugh at me!"
The lieutenant general was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare, your subordinates asked me about the king of Lanye County, and even asked why your reinforcements were delayed, didn't you say that our reinforcements were all intercepted and killed by you, you know this, and came to ask me, so I laughed at your subordinates for being idiots, and later told me that our reinforcements were not intercepted by us at all, it was just to disturb our military morale, I really don't know whether to believe you or not!"
Wu Sa said: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you tell me honestly, what do you know!"
The lieutenant said: "Since the matter has come to this, I will tell you everything, I am not afraid of you, but because our king came to attack the city this time, in fact, he was also deceived by others!"
Wu Sa said: "Is it the king of Lanye County?"
The deputy general shook his head and said: "It's not the King of Lanye County, it's the Taievil King of the Taievil Clan, at the beginning we all said that he would buy the King of Lanye County of Lanye City, and in the name of attacking Flame Stopping City, all the soldiers of the Gathering Wind Pass, Gathering Thunder Pass, and Gathering Fire Pass were evacuated, so that we could easily enter the three checkpoints and then enter the Lanye City, but unexpectedly, you soldiers of the three levels did not listen to his orders, so this plan failed to succeed!"
Wu Sa said fiercely: "So, the King of Lanye County really colluded with you, no wonder he kept asking me to attack Stop Flame City, it turned out that he wanted to break me away!" said as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
The demon clan deputy general said: "That's right, you listen to me finish the story first, and on the other hand, the evil king asked the war demon clan to attack the Youguan, as long as the Youguan is taken, so that the two armies can directly smash your royal city!"
Wu Sa exclaimed: "You mean, the War Demon Clan is now attacking the Hidden Pass!"
"That's right," the deputy general said: "The Taievil King has long expected that as long as the King of Lanye County does not send troops to help, then Suoyin of the Gathering Thunder Pass will definitely send troops to support the Hidden Pass, because in addition to the Lan Night City, the Gathering Thunder Pass is the closest to the Hidden Pass, so only you Gathering Wind Pass will remain, and we will take the opportunity to capture your Gathering Wind Pass!"
Wu Saleng said with a smile: "Just because you have only 15,000 people, you want to capture our Jufeng Pass!"
"The Evil King told us that he has sent reinforcements to arrive soon, let us be sure to take the Gathering Wind Pass, as long as we take the Gathering Wind Pass, the King of Lanye County will open the gate of Lanye City and let us enter the city, but until we are defeated, their reinforcements have not yet arrived, I guess they must want us both to fight to the death, and then they will directly capture the Gathering Wind Pass without a single soldier, we are just being used as pawns by them!!" he became very annoyed at this time.
Wu Sa was still skeptical of what he said, and said, "You promise that what you say is true, you must not lie to me!"
The lieutenant said: "What I said is true, they were the first to do unjustice to us, and I had to tell all their plots, and you fortunately did not attack Stop Flame City, because a trap has already been set for you around Stop Flame City, as long as you go, you will definitely die, and then the King of Lan Ye County can say in front of your king that you abandoned the city and went to attack Stop Flame City without authorization, and Lan Night City was lost, and you have been wiped out by the war demon clan of Stop Flame City!" After speaking, he laughed a few times. When the people present listened to his words, there was such a big conspiracy hidden behind them, and they all trembled for a moment, but they didn't expect the soldiers of Jufeng Pass to be so dangerous.
