Chapter 164: Planning a Counterattack
Wu Anlong was stunned when he heard this, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head again: "Mu Wen, you are still too young. ”
"No, I can really help you. ”
Mu Wenzheng said: "Through the conversation from just now to now, I have learned your biggest dilemma. The double coercion from the Tianlan Empire and the Douling Temple. If you use me to distract the surrounding people, won't you be able to take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger?"
"That's the right idea, but it's too hard to do. Wu Anlong said.
Mu Wen smiled: "I'm not alone. ”
As he spoke, he invited Wu Anlong to the top of the cliff, his gaze swept Xia Nan and the others, and stayed on Ji Changxin for a few more seconds.
"These are my partners. Mu Wen introduced him one by one.
Then, Uncle Wu'an Long was introduced to everyone, and while he was talking, a whining sound came from behind the rock.
The injured middle-aged man struggled to roll on the ground, anxiously whining at Wu Anlong. Not only was he tied up with five flowers, but his mouth was also tightly stuffed, and Wu Anlong was stunned: "Jin Hong." ”
"What's going on. Muwen glared reproachfully.
Ji Changxin spread his hands: "Excuse me, just in case, so I kidnapped him as a hostage." ”
Of course, this approach now seems to be redundant.
Mu Wen went to untie the middle-aged man, he hurriedly saluted Wu Anlong on one knee, and his puzzled eyes showed that he didn't understand how the knight chief could come to the top of the cliff with Mu Wen alone.
It was to repeat the story to him again, and the middle-aged man was relieved.
Through the conversation, I learned that the middle-aged man's name was Jin Hong, and he was in the Black Mountain Cliff mainly to get food to supply the Wu'an Long base camp in the rear. Now the Black Mountain Cliff has been swept away in a daze, causing them a lot of heavy damage.
"The Northern Regions are mixed with dragons and snakes, we can't go back, and the regular army of the Tianlan Empire can't be sent in. All these years, it has been the forces of the Douling Hall that have been staring at us. ”
Wu Anlong said: "Fortunately, its strong people have gathered in the holy mountains of the Central Zhou Continent, and it is the small miscellaneous fish in their eyes that they are fortunate to survive to this day. ”
"The strength is weak, and it is difficult to expose the conspiracy of the Douling Palace. Jin Hong clenched his fists: "I have wanted to call on everyone to wake up many times, but the peaceful and prosperous times of singing and dancing over the years have numbed the vigilance of the people." As long as the people have food and drink, they will not take it seriously unless there is an imminent disaster. Especially since these words are still coming from the mouths of us, who have been condemned as rebels. As for the forces in the Northern Regions, these things of saving the country and disaster relief are even more disdainful. ”
"What about the Tianlan Empire?"
Mu Wen asked, "I just felt that this question was wrong. Since the ambition of the Douling Hall is to unify the entire continent, and the Tianlan Empire is closest to the Sea of Death, the royal authority will definitely be the first to be trampled on. What's more, the demonic calamity of twenty years ago was secretly connived in by the Dou Ling Palace, why does the empire still persecute you in turn? Is it that His Majesty today does not trust you?"
"No, that dog emperor knows better than anyone else. Jin Hong burst into foul language.
Wu Anlong explained: "The first emperor died of a demonic disaster twenty years ago. Immediately afterwards, the four princes succeeded by the palace maid, in fact, regardless of his identity and talent, he was the prince who was least favored by the Manchu Dynasty, and there was no general in charge of the military to support him. However, the fourth prince is the successor, and he is now His Majesty. ”
As soon as the words came out, several people were so confused when they heard it.
The corners of Mu Wen's mouth hooked up: "The implication is that the succession of His Majesty today is the support of the Douling Palace?"
"Maybe it's better to describe it as a puppet regime. ”
Wu Anlong smiled bitterly: "Therefore, the Third Knights who discovered the truth admonished in front of the palace, which is as ridiculous as going to the robber's door and shouting to catch pickpockets." We became rebels. It was also from that day that the Dou Ling Branch Hall in the Tianlan Empire sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which would not have been allowed at all if it had been placed before the Demon Calamity. ”
It dawned on Muwen that everything had become so clear and reasonable, but there was still one thing that was still intriguing.
"The cause of the whole thing is not a demonic plague. In the final analysis, it is still from the conspiracy and truth that Uncle Wu has repeatedly talked about. If you hadn't discovered the conspiracy of the Douling Palace, you wouldn't have admonished you, and you wouldn't have been condemned as a rebel persecution, so if you weren't a prince or a minister, you should be a city lord. ”
After a pause, Mu Wen asked the most crucial words: "The truth of this demonic disaster, as well as the conspiracy of the Douling Palace, dare to ask Uncle Wu where he heard about it?"
Wu Anlong and Jin Hong both sank their faces, as if they were caught in a memory......
Mu Wen and the seven people were silent, waiting patiently, and finally Wu Anlong opened his mouth with a hint of tiredness: "It was really a night that I can't bear to recall." Intoxicated with the joy of driving away the demons, we forgot what moment it was, and suddenly an incredibly strong demon woman appeared in front of us. ”
"Demon woman?" The one whose expression changed the most was Lu Peng.
He stared at Wu Anlong nervously, vaguely guessing something in his heart, and listened to Wu Anlong continue to speak: "She waved her hand, and the earth cracked. Flap the wings behind your back, and the mountain collapses and the sea falls. When I saw the face of the demon woman, my heart didn't dare to beat anymore. ”
Everyone held their breath and waited for Wu Anlong to continue.
He said: "I have seen that demon woman, it is the concubine of the Third Duke General Lu Zhuo. As a prisoner of the battlefield, a low-level demon who has no threat at all. But that night, she showed us what it means to be an absolute power that overrides everything, and she is actually an ancient demon who is stronger than the high demon race. ”
"The witch's name is Luo, an ancient demon who escaped from the seal of Mount Jiapo, and hid her strength and infiltrated the Tianlan Empire as a captive. That night, she told us the truth, saying that she didn't want to see the future generations of demons being used as pawns by the Douling Temple. We have made a pact to overturn this plot and save both demons and human beings from disaster. ”
After Liao Chang finished speaking, Mu Wen's expressions became very condensed, and their eyes subconsciously looked at Lu Peng.
The fat man's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, his mouth was extremely open, his body trembled, and he finally couldn't suppress his emotions and shouted: "You, you said that the demon woman is the concubine of my father, the third general?
His hand couldn't help grabbing Wu Anlong, Mu Wen grabbed him, and comforted him in a good voice: "Calm down." ”
At the same time, he glanced at Wu Anlong: "Uncle, this partner of mine is called Lu Peng, and he is the demon woman and the general of the third prince in your mouth. ”
"What!"
Wu Anlong and Jin Hong were shocked at the same time, and looked at Lu Peng incredulously: "You are the child of Luo and Lu Zhuo?"
In the voice, there was more of a faint jealousy.
It's no wonder that the two of them are like this, subconsciously thinking that the demon woman Luo is so strong, and the child she gave birth to will definitely not be bad.
Of course, the fat man when he went berserk was indeed terrifying.
"What about my mother, what about my mother?!" the fat man asked repeatedly with tears and snot in his mouth.
Wu Anlong sank his face: "After the night of the appointment, I went back and thought that it was too ridiculous to cooperate with the demons, so I went to advise Your Majesty with my subordinates. His expectations were disappointed, and in one fell swoop, he offended His Majesty's anger and fled to the Northern Regions on the charge of rebels. And Luo continued to stay in **, using the Sangong General Lu Zhuo to get a lot of intelligence feedback, so we escaped one catastrophe after another. ”
"Luo asked us to develop our forces, and when we increased the number of soldiers, we counterattacked** When the time comes, we will have her inside and out. Unfortunately, plans are always good, and Lo's identity is under suspicion, and I can feel her impatience from the last few letters I have spoken. ”
"She acted ahead of time, trying to forcibly kill His Majesty with the true power of her demon race. ”
Hearing this, Lu Peng's lips turned white: "And then?"
Wu Anlong took a deep breath: "The assassination failed. From the moment the royal family of the Tianlan Empire became a puppet regime, a large number of Douling Hall masters were hidden deep in the dormitory. Among them, there are many hall elders with the Spirit Ancestor realm. It can be seen that the Douling Hall attaches great importance to the meat of the Tianlan Empire, after all, it is the largest empire closest to the Sea of Death. ”
Lu Peng collapsed to the ground, weak: "Then my mother is dead?"
"No, Lowe should still be alive. ”
Wu Anlong's words brought life to the fat man's face, and he stroked the fat man's head and said, "After the assassination failed, there was no news about Luo. She should not have been arrested. And I've always had a strong premonition that she's still alive. ”
"Great, I'm going to find my mother. ”
The fat man got up with a cheer, ran away a few steps, and lowered his head in frustration: "But I should go." ”
"Think about it, after so many years, your mother must be fine. Xia Nan and Charlene comforted.
Mu Wen pinched his chin and muttered thoughtfully: "What happened has become clearer now. My purpose is to avenge the destruction of the Douling Palace, and the purpose of Uncle Wu and other knights is to overthrow the conspiracy of the Douling Hall to save the common people. And now it can be determined that the Tianlan Empire has long been controlled by the Douling Palace, so the conquest of the Tianlan Empire is equivalent to destroying a piece of the Douling Palace's henchmen. ”
"That's right. Wu Anlong said.
Mu Wen inquired: "How many soldiers does my uncle have on hand?"
"All the cavalry are here, more than 3,000 people. The other rabble of bandits, bandits, and other gatherings amounted to about 9,000 people, and frankly speaking, these people were simply unreliable. Wu Anlong sighed a little.
Mu Wen immediately smiled: "A wide road is ahead. Next, Uncle Wu can go all out to recruit troops and train soldiers, and there is no need to worry about other trivial matters. Those encirclement and suppression from the personnel of the Douling Palace, as well as the financial expenditures of the military and politics, are all solved by me. ”
"I can appreciate your kindness, but it's not easy to pull together an army strong enough to counterattack the Empire. Wu Anlong frowned: "It is far more difficult to raise soldiers than to recruit them. It's not that my uncle looks down on me, how are you going to solve these problems?"
Mu Wen playfully replied, "Of course I can't conjure food out of thin air, and I can't make armor. But the Tianlan Empire has it, it has everything, and it only needs a palm in the dark to get it. And the seven of us, the next thing to do is to transform into this hand in the dark, and establish an organization codenamed Night. ”
Everyone was stunned and exclaimed: "Night organization?!" (To be continued.) )
