Chapter 268: There is no one in the Gym
Three days later, a shocking news came that Nanduo City was broken, and the Tianluo army was like a bamboo, and it had taken thirteen small cities attached to Nanduo City, and looked at the Prime Minister of Great Winter City, eyeing each other.
This news spread like mercury quickly, and the people of Celestial Elephant City were panicked.
While Tang Fei and the others secretly rejoiced, the stone sedum on the Jinluan Hall was furious, and the military generals of Wenchen were shocked.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!" Shi Jingtianhu's eyes were round, his palms kept smashing the table, and he almost said in a roaring voice: "Who is the overseer, behead me, five horses will be divided, and the nine clans will sit together!"
It's no wonder that the stone sedum thunder was angry, just because the Nanduo city was really aggrieved, the marshal of the Tianluo Empire, Ling Ran, led a large army to surround the Nanduo city, but only besieged but not attacked, and constantly bombarded the city with long-range catapults, Nanduo City was originally a large number of soldiers and many masters of the Wanjia Sect sat in the town, and they were not afraid, but who knew that in the area of the Black Wind Ridge, a strange soldier suddenly appeared, only cut off the grain and grass and did not meet with people, the supply of Nanduo City was insufficient, morale was low, and the enemy was attacked by the back, and finally the Tianluo army and the strange soldier launched a fierce attack and broke the city in one fell swoop.
All the civil ministers and military generals on both sides of the hall have been scared into cold sweat, Shi Jingtian has a gentle temper, the city is quite deep, and he has never had such a violent act since he ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Wenchen was the first to stand up and saluted: "In Weichen's humble opinion, the top priority should be to send a large army from the north to the Great Winter City for reinforcements, the Great Winter City is the foundation of my Vientiane, the place where the military must fight, the intention of the Tianluo army to attack Nanduo City is also to take this place, if the Great Winter City is lost, the barrier of my imperial capital will disappear completely, and the imperial capital is in danger!"
This person is Zhong Liangguang, the prime minister of the Vientiane Empire, who is cautious, thoughtful, old and heavy-minded, and is also the uncle of the dynasty, the elder brother of the queen of Shijingtian's mother, and it is with the assistance of this person that the Vientiane Empire has developed into the first power in the mainland, with great reputation and immeasurable achievements.
Shi Jingtian didn't reply, just suppressed his anger, sat on the dragon chair and held his forehead in contemplation, and shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said: "What Zhong Xiang said is very true, it's just that Tianluo is like a tiger, Li Tang is like a wolf, my northern army is fighting against Li Tang, and I can't hold each other, and the capital of the northern road is still asking me for reinforcements, which shows the tragic situation of the battle, how dare I withdraw their troops!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China discussed one after another, each holding their own opinions, some agreed with Zhong Liangguang's statement that the army should be transferred back to rescue Dadong City, and there were also strong objections, the war in northern Xinjiang was tight, and if the troops were transferred back, it would be tantamount to tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, and in the end I am afraid that both ends would be lost.
At this time, the national teacher Jia Zhengnan, who had not spoken, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zhong said is not unreasonable, the most important thing at the moment is the comfort of the Great Winter City and the imperial capital, and a large army should be sent to the rescue!" After a pause, he saw that the courtiers were quite opposed, and his hands needed to be guarded, and he said: "Everyone, please listen to this seat finish speaking...... Our Vientiane Empire is in the middle of the continent, with the widest land area, the most developed economy and trade, and has been preparing for war for many years, with an army of more than 1.7 million, which can top more than twice the strength of any of the other four countries. It was these things that made it difficult for us to lose the first battle in this campaign. ”
"Although we attacked Li Tang in alliance with the Eastern Yue Kingdom, it was a long-term battle, and it has become a situation of long-term fierce battle, and after the Great Winter City Incident, dozens of grandmasters of the Xuanzong Sect died in our hands, especially the sword god Luo Sanxian, and even died under the secret technique of my sect 'Solomon', the royal family of Yue Kingdom was furious, and had withdrawn from the northern battlefield from the beginning, our army was isolated and helpless, and the northern front was naturally tight. ”
"In Weichen's humble opinion, we are going to transfer troops back to the Great Winter City, but we can't use the troops of the Northern Frontier, we can use the forces of the Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian State to defend the Great Winter City!"
The ministers of the DPRK and China discussed a lot, but Zhong Liangguang and Shi Jingtian were silent in thought.
After a long time, Shi Jingtian said: "What the national teacher said is reasonable, but the Yue country has been angry about the fact that the disciples of the Great Winter City Xuanzong were killed by our side, and I have sent a number of ministers to deal with it, but this time their offerings died in our hands, how can we release the suspicions, and how can we still use their troops?
Jia Zhengnan responded: "Back to Your Majesty, the barbarian side is not to worry, just know the reason, what those barbarians are trying to do is just their own interests, and it is the same for them to seize any land, and we still have a magic weapon in our hands that can destroy their Ten Thousand Beast Villa in the blink of an eye, so they can't help but be unwilling, and the Yue country side needs to send important ministers to move it, Xiong Kaishan is the junior brother of this seat, this person has always acted cautiously, how could he suddenly fight with the three immortals in the Great Winter City?" There must be a reason for this, and the current situation, he Yue Guo's side also has to weigh their own weight, among the five countries, their side is already barren, perennial cold, less than 500,000 troops, if they say that they tear their faces with us, they may not dare, the most important thing is that we do not need these two countries to directly send troops to help the Great Winter City, but to let them attack the hinterland of Tianluo at the same time in the east and west, in this way, the commander of Tianluo will definitely return to the army to rescue, and the danger of the Great Winter City will be solved!"
The ministers of the DPRK and China praised again and again, and Shi Jingtian exclaimed: "Second, very wonderful! According to what the national teacher said, the envoy to the two countries must be the important minister of our court.
"Weichen takes the order!" "Tang Xia Zhongliang Guang and Jia Zhengnan both received the order.
......
Wanjia Sect, the sect master's courtyard, in the study.
The court was domineering, but the calm and spicy Jia Zhengnan looked tired at the moment, with only Xiao Suo and vicissitudes in his eyes, and he seemed to be much older in just a few hours.
He held a delicate mahogany box in his hand, and his trembling fingers caressed the lid, wanting to open it, but hesitating, as if he didn't dare, as if he didn't want to.
"Maybe this seat is really wrong..."Jia Zhengnan had old tears in his eyes, and sighed as he stroked the wooden box: "If Xuanwu is still there, if he is still cultivating in this sect, if he can ascend to the throne, what kind of situation will it be now... A person with divine power, can he subvert a war? This seat is going to Yue Country to lobby, life and death are uncertain, this seat is not afraid of death itself, but this seat is so afraid of death, afraid of seeing you under the Nine Springs, can you forgive this seat..."Saying that he was already in tears, the dignified Wanjia Sect Master actually whimpered and cried, holding the box and crying in a mess.
In the end, he still didn't open the box, but just hung it back on his waist, and this thing was his carrying, which he wore all year round, and never left his body.
No one in the sect knew what was hidden in the box, some people speculated that it was the ultimate secret of the Wanjia Sect "Great Solomon", but no one dared to ask, including his two sons, when the youngest son Party A touched the box out of curiosity, and was almost crippled by Jia Zhengnan, until now, Party A's right leg is still slightly lame, and since then, no one dares to hit the box idea.
It was late at night, the lone lamp in the study was still on, and a burst of screams was looming, Jia Zhengnan woke up from the painful memories and said strangely outside the door: "Who is tortured in the torture hall?"
The guard outside the door responded: "It's the young sect master of Party A, it seems that a key criminal has been arrested today and is being interrogated!"
Jia Zhengnan frowned lightly and shook his head, he knew that son's inferior nature, on weekdays, he formed a gang, fought bravely, and did not do his job, it is estimated that he caught a guy who offended him and tortured him, "Okay, let him release him, don't hurt people's lives and ruin the reputation of the sect again!"
"Yes!" the guard replied, and suddenly said resignedly: "Sect Master, this... This person seems to be really going to commit a crime, and it seems to have something to do with the assassination of Yang Baixiong's commander three days ago!"
"Hmm?" Jia Zhengnan pondered for a while, opened the door and strode towards the torture hall.
Party A was crooked, originally wanted to teach the Cause and Effect Gym a lesson in the name of arresting Monkey Three, but he didn't expect that Monkey Three really knew a lot of information, and under some torture, 1510 was recruited.
By the time Jia Zhengnan arrived, the monkey had already been beaten and half dead.
"Father!" Party A, who was wielding a hard whip, saw A Zhengnan coming and immediately put down the things in his hand.
Jia Zhengnan glanced at the monkey three and said, "Can you ask anything?"
"Father, this person's name is Monkey San, a disciple of the Cause and Effect Gym, according to him, a few days ago, Commander Yang sent Yu Hui to go to the Great Winter City to raise people, Yu Hui was ambushed by a large number of bandits in Qinghe Town, not only the whole army was wiped out, but also lost the key offender Xu Jinduo, only Yu Hui escaped alone, originally to return to the city to restore his life, but was invited by the owner of the Cause and Effect Gym, Shi Yuxiang, to get together, since five days ago, Yu Hui disappeared completely from the world!"
Jia Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and muttered: "Qinghe Town, bandits, how dare ordinary bandits attack officers and soldiers? Nanduo City was lost that day because the bandits in Heifengling cut off our army's food and grass, and now there is another vote of strongmen in Qinghe Town who dare to hijack officers and soldiers, why do they want to kidnap officers and soldiers, is it just for one Xu Jinduo?"
Seeing that his father attached so much importance to this matter, Party A immediately looked shocked, felt that he had made a great contribution, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, the three confessions of the detainees, those gangsters are numerous and powerful, monopolizing the medicine merchants, vehicles and ships within a thousand miles of Qinghe Town, collecting a lot of money, forming a gang, called the Qinghe Gang, has become the climate, if it is not exterminated, I am afraid it will pose a threat to the imperial capital!"
Jia Zhengnan shook his head and chuckled: "Fang Er only saw the surface, if this group of people is just a group of rabble, even if they can become a climate, they will not be able to pose a threat to the imperial capital, and they are afraid of their father..."
......
That night, Lan Ruomeng returned to the inn and told Tang Fei that Monkey Three was taken away by Party A, Tang Fei and the four of them did not dare to go to Hutan alone, but just changed into night clothes and went to the 'Cause and Effect Gym', because Lan Ruomeng had already found that this place was unusual after following Monkey San back to the Gym, those rough men who outsiders thought were wrestling hand-to-hand combat, in fact, they were all masters of the inner family, and who else could there be in this world who would cultivate the true power of the inner family except for the disciples of the Tang Sect?
Since it was their own hall, Tang Fei and the four of them should have gone openly, but their identity was special, and the masters of this Celestial Elephant City were like clouds, and they were in danger, and they didn't dare to take it lightly, so they had to find out clearly and then make plans.
Tang Fei and the four of them sneaked into the courtyard, and there was a dead silence in the hall, the doors and windows were broken, the tables and chairs were overturned, and it was a mess.
"In just a few hours, hundreds of centaurs actually said they would leave?" Lan Ruomeng couldn't believe it, if it was said that dozens of people could hide or even retreat quickly, but how could those hundreds of centaurs have such a maneuvering ability?
"Is there a secret passage or a secret room, which is specially used for escape?" Nan Song guessed.
Tang Fei nodded and said, "If it is really our hall, how difficult it is to hide in this Celestial Elephant City, we naturally have to think of a way out in case we need it." ”
"Shhhhh
A flash of fire approached, followed by hundreds of men carrying torches and stepping through the door, the first of which was Jianuo.
Jia Zhengnan learned that Yu Hui's disappearance was related to the stone elephant, and his first reaction was to catch this person, but after thinking about it, he still felt that his youngest son Party A was not calm enough, and there was no room for failure to arrest such an important suspect, so he sent his eldest son Jia Nuo to get someone.
As soon as the group entered the courtyard, hundreds of torches lit up the courtyard.
"Search!" Jia Nuo looked around, already aware that something was wrong.
A group of strong men suddenly rushed into the living room, backyard, and various side rooms to check.
Half an hour passed, and the hall was empty.
