Chapter 70: Stormy Waves

Chi Aotian, Su Wen, and Qu Jianhong didn't speak, and all three of them were sure of one thing: even if they broke the three heads in the council hall, they would never guess what had happened.

Park Sungjin, a cadre of the small mercenary group who came in, groped out a letter from his arms, and the crumpled skin was completely wet with sweat.

The young man hesitated for a long time holding the letter, and in the end, he handed the letter directly to Su Wen in front of Chi Aotian.

At this moment, the three senior officers were even more stupid! What does this bastard want to do?

Whether it is from the perspective of the officer structure of the expeditionary force, or from the original structure of the small mercenary group, this letter should not be handed over to Su Wen! Su Wen is an outsider!

It must be known that in the history of the Little Mercenary Regiment, Chi Aotian was the first captain of the Vulture Swordsman Battalion. The mercenary boy in front of him is really the first batch to join the Vulture Swordsman Battalion. Under such a premise, he also handed over the letter to Su Wen, what does this mean? What does it take to carry Chi Aotian on his back?

Su Wen tore open the cover, and there was only one page of stationery inside, probably only a few dozen words, which could be scanned at a glance.

The 20-year-old soldier of the Northern Union swept it at a glance, and the thin letter paper clicked...... Shaking together, beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell down his forehead, and there was no color on his face.

Qu Jianhong wondered, just now it was announced that Ta Yang's life and death after falling off a hundred-meter cliff were unknown, and Su Wen did not have such a fierce performance. What the hell is going on here?

The young general was thinking about it, Su Wen raised his head and looked at Chi Aotian, then at Qu Jianhong, and seemed to have made up his mind, handing the letter that had been wet with sweat to Qu Jianhong.

This time, Qu Jianhong was completely stunned! Instead of giving it to the general, he handed it to himself? What the hell happened here?

Every word on the letter paper was so large that it could be seen that the sender's hand had shaken when he wrote the letter, and every stroke was messy. However, he still fully understood his meaning. The content is as follows: "There was a mutiny in Jielin, and it is reported that the chief marshal of the empire, King Chi Datong, announced that he would support Prince Tiedu as the new emperor. "The payment is the small mercenary group boundary forest council.

Qu Jianhong's brain buzzed, and his eyes turned black, and he almost fell.

"The head of the house, the old marshal...... Why are you doing this?" Qu Jianhong, one of the retainers of Chimen, cracked his mouth, tears reached his eyes, and he almost didn't cry.

According to the laws of the empire, this is the "heinous crime of rebellion"! No matter what the reason is, no matter what the interface, from the princes and grandsons to the common people of the empire, as long as they are involved in the great crime of rebellion, all titles will be taken to the end, and the lightest punishment for all participants is to be executed.

It's really like Qu Jianhong said, Marshal Chi Datong "Why is this so difficult".

Since the succession to the throne, the Red Stone Emperor has repaired the hostile relations with the empires for many years, and internally, he has rectified the rule of officials, lowered tax rates, developed commerce, and cultivated health. The development of the empire in the past 20 years is obvious to all, the Redstone Emperor is really not bad, how much fat has been added to the pot by the residents that can be stuffed into the children's mouths, this is not obvious at a glance?

Twenty years ago, the empire was the first military power in the pan-continent, and 20 years later, the empire is the number one power in the pan-continent in terms of economic strength, combat readiness strength and comprehensive strength. If it weren't for this pan-continental war, if it hadn't been for the thieves who hooked up with the Phanos army to break through Scambrai, Redstone would never have been able to win the title of Emperor Wen for thousands of years after a hundred years.

Taking a step back, even if the Redstone Emperor lost more than 40% of the territory of the Eminole Continent, even if the Redstone Emperor was ashamed of his ancestors, he would not be able to mutiny in the face of millions of strong enemies...... Your Excellency the old marshal should know better than anyone else. You don't need others to fight, you mess up the battle first, and you will fight between several major war zones first, this is not ...... Self-destruction of the city wall?

Take another 10,000 steps back, even if the Redstone Emperor is stupid and incompetent, then ...... The Red Stone Emperor is also the nephew of His Excellency the Old Marshal! Prince Tiedu does not have such a close blood relationship! His Excellency the Marshal is confused! What kind of righteous annihilation is he doing at this juncture!

Qu Jianhong was very close to Chi Aotian, the dragon knight's eyes were very good, when Qu Jianhong read the letter, Chi Aotian saw it more clearly than Qu Jianhong.

As usual, Chi Aotian did not change at all from his pupils to his expression to his slender and powerful ten fingers...... It's like not seeing the letter at all.

"Alas...... Your Excellency the old marshal, this is a righteous annihilation...... Righteous Destruction of Relatives...... What a righteous ...... to destroy relatives" Su Wen sat on the side and muttered stupidly, and the deputy captain of the expeditionary force took off his scimitar from his waist and walked towards Chi Aotian, the commander of the expeditionary force.

"What are you going to do?!" To the surprise of the three senior officers again, Park Chengjin, a cadre of the small mercenary group who obviously had other intentions just now, immediately pulled out his long sword and protected it in front of Ji Aotian.

"Righteous annihilation, of course righteous annihilation!" Su Wen waved his scabbard with a face: "I am killing my relatives in righteousness and maintaining royal power, but I am not announcing my personal vendetta out of the evil spirit of being blackened by Chi Hanfeng back then." Now take him down, boy Qu, do you think the two of us can make up for it?"

The more Su Wen explained, the quieter his voice became, and the less confident he became, and finally glared at the Crazy Vulture Swordsman: "You little rabbit cub, you still dare to do something with your elders? Get out of the way, what are you in a hurry about now, how did you hand over that evidence of rebellion to me just now?"

Park Sungjin's tears fell at that time, and the 18-year-old boy pointed at Su Wen with a long sword, and while rubbing his tears with his sleeve, he cried and cried: "That...... That...... What should I do? I'll go find Captain Chang Qing first...... Woo...... He is not in the camp, according to the regulations, I ...... Such a letter cannot be given directly to the deputy head of the regiment. Woo...... Woo...... You can't touch the deputy head of the regiment, otherwise...... I've fought with you...... Deputy Chief, you go and go find Big Brother Amy. ”

There was such a big mess, this young man's thinking was really clear, he went to Chang Qing first, Chang Qing went out to complete the task, all the mid-level and above officers of the Vulture Swordsman Battalion left the camp on business, and it was impossible to discuss with someone. Then I went to the council hall and saw that the three officers, Chi Aotian was the grandson of Marshal Chi Datong, and the Qu family was the retainer of the Chi family, so there was only Su Wen, a veteran of the Northern Federation, left, and he could only hand over the letter to him.

"Cough, cough ......" Qu Jianhong coughed dryly, then waved his hand at Su Wen, and said weakly: "Don't be foolish, speaking of which, I must have the obligation to remind you of one thing, the crime of rebellion, the ten clans, these ten clans, but in addition to the usual nine clans, including retainers and subordinates." Have you served under General Chi Hanfeng? Have you served under General Chi Aotian? Don't stare at me, go and read the imperial law yourself. ”

Alas...... Su Wen let out a long sigh and threw the unsheathed long sword on the ground: "I knew that today, I should have listened to my father's advice in the first place. Why bother to go to the Snow Moon Legion to be a firehead...... Back then, I didn't look at the majesty of the knight troops, but if I was drafted into the Glacier Infantry Brigade, I wanted to ...... It will never fall to the point where it is connected today. ”

"That'...... What now?" Qu Jianhong is young after all, and Ta Yang, the backbone of the expeditionary force, has died bizarrely, and he has no idea when he encounters this kind of thing. Only at this time, Qu Jianhong and Su Wen deeply realized Ta Yang's goodness, if Ta Yang was still standing here, it was estimated that the old guy would spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the wall, and spit out from his mouth contemptuously: "Fart, it's so surprised." Then he immediately found a variety of solutions for Chi Aotian to choose from.

"Alright. Chi Aotian finally spoke. "I'm still in charge of this place......"

Chi Aotian stood up, took the letter from Qu Jianhong's hand, folded it into a square casually, stuffed it into the envelope, and then handed it to the vulture swordsman Qu Chang: "You take this letter to Amy, and tell him that I will move closer to the headquarters of the small mercenary group in 2 months at most." As for the matter in this letter, please ask the head of the regiment to find out the truth and deal with it as appropriate. You go now, and remember, the head of Amy, who you went to find immediately after receiving this letter, did not come to the city of Vangon, and none of the three of us have seen you. Got it?"

"Understood!" the young man saluted, wiped away his tears, quietly pushed open the door of the council hall, and quickly disappeared.

"As for our ......," Chi Jia's second young man then sat back in his seat: "We didn't see anyone just now, and we are still here preparing to launch a general attack on the Fanos Alliance Army." ”

"That'...... Should we send someone to get in touch with the head of the Tongyun Guan family as soon as possible?" Qu Jianhong was very worried about such a big matter, it was possible that Marshal Chi Hantong didn't know about it at all, and the marshal didn't know about it, so of course it was impossible for his own family to know the news. A lot of times, caring is messy.

Chi Aotian glanced at Qu Jianhong: "I've already said it, we haven't seen that letter." Right now...... The arrow is off the string, please don't be distracted anymore. "Such words are already very heavy when Chi Aotian says them!

Su Wen kicked Qu Jianhong with his heel, and the handsome young officer shook his head helplessly, slowly sitting on the chair like an old man.

The general is not wrong, the current expeditionary force has scattered more than 10,000 soldiers within a radius of 100 miles on the Huayu Plain, and there are about 1,000 people in the largest number, and only one or two people are acting alone in the small number. Now, even if there is a big thing, it is necessary to implement the set steps according to the established time, any negligence, any link that goes wrong, will be a catastrophe for the expeditionary force, and even the desert empire that has just broken free from the shadow of the Holy See will be pulled back to its original form with a slap.

Su Wen closed the door of the council hall again and slowly returned to his seat. Nothing happened just now, whether it was Tayang or Chi Datong, all the news was not sent here.

At around 19 o'clock in the evening of January 30, the 7th year of the magic calendar, the wind rose.

The icy north wind crossed the desert and brought a dry chill into the Huayu Plain, and that night, the temperature plummeted by more than 10°C, and the south bank of the Fanshui River began to freeze.

The expeditionary force in Fangang City was better, after all, there were walls to block the wind, and there were still some houses in the city that had not been completely destroyed, and the soldiers could still sleep soundly if they set up tents and make fires.

The Phanos Alliance army encamped in the wilderness did not have such good luck, the insulation effect of the tent could not be compared with the house at all, and the howling cold wind quickly pierced the two layers of armor inside and outside the soldiers, and the soldiers from the Phanos continent wrapped all the clothes they could find, and even so, they were still shivering from the cold.

"Didn't you say that the temperature difference between the four seasons of the Flower Language Plain is very small, how can it be so cold?" Norton also consulted His Majesty the Pope on this matter.

"Oh, this kind of weather is relatively rare, and in my memory, in the last 30 years, there have only been three or four years at most when the weather has been so low. However, fortunately, this will be February 2 soon, and after the dragon raises its head, the temperature in the Flower Language Plain will rise rapidly, and it will only be a matter of three or four days, and Your Excellency does not need to worry about this matter...... His Majesty knows that Norton is worried that the bad weather will cause unnecessary attrition of soldiers: "The old people always say 'the cold spring', and this time it can be regarded as a sight." ”

"Oh. Norton let out a sigh of relief: "I've been worried that such strange weather is not caused by that ice magister on Xilin Island, but I can rest assured that you say that." ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency is too careful. Not to mention one ice magister, even ten ice magisters can't cover a radius of a hundred miles with ice magic. "If the other party really has such a powerful magister, there is no need to fight this battle at all, such a powerful magister can cover the enemy's camp with a few large forbidden spells over time, and it will be directly determined to win or lose. His Majesty the Pope did not say such words.

"Good night, Your Highness. Norton bowed deeply and retreated.

On February 1, the spring of the 7th year of the magic calendar, the howling north wind was still raging in the wilderness, but fortunately, after the red sun rose, the temperature rose rapidly, and the ice in the Fanshui River had disappeared without a trace before noon.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, outside the south gate of the 13th Legion of the Holy See of the Phanos Alliance Army, a large flock of sheep appeared, and behind the sheep swayed and followed by two ox carts, and a coachman sat on the ox cart in front of them.

"Oh...... Oh...... Left...... The four-meter-long whip of the owner of the ...... car exploded in the air, and he drove the sheep and ox carts towards the south gate of the camp.

"What man? Stop! Take one step further, and we'll shoot our bows and arrows!" The soldier on the earthen wall yelled at the car owner, which frightened the car owner into a tremble, and quickly jumped off the car with a flat leg, and when he came down, his legs and feet were still not on the rope, and Gollum fell on the ground with a, which caused the soldiers on the earthen wall to laugh.

I heard that the soldiers won the battle, and they were about to annihilate the damned Chi bandit Aotian Legion, and they came to send condolences to the soldiers. The owner of the car didn't dare to get up, so he rolled under the car, holding on to his felt hat, and shouted tremblingly.

The soldiers on the earthen wall looked at the car boss's fear of death, and one by one suddenly increased their infinite courage.

"You're not going to be a spy, are you? How do you know we've won?"

"Of course we all know, the two cardinal archbishops came to our town a few days ago and told everyone that the soldiers have surrounded Chi Aotian and these rabbit cubs in a city, and they will conquer the city in a few days, and take those bastards alive one by one to avenge us. Wretched...... My legs...... If it weren't for these ......," the owner cried as he spoke, snot burst into tears, and kept slapping his left leg.

"What's wrong with your leg?" asked the soldier on the earthen wall as he sent someone to inform his immediate commander.

"It's a long story, woo......" The owner of the car cried loudly under the car, and it took a long time for him to stop crying under the comfort of the soldiers, and it happened that the 6,000th commander of the 13th Army also came to the earthen wall:" Xiaomin, I was originally a resident of the southern part of the Holy See, a year ago, Chi Aotian's vicious bandits suddenly killed our village, just because we refused to surrender, ordered to kill all the villagers, they also teased us, let us escape, the first to run out can not die, Xiaomin ran slowly, was shot by them in the femur with an arrow, and fainted at that time. Later, he was rescued by a priest sent by His Majesty the Pope, and the small people had to flee all the way to the north in order to avoid the bandits, but the bandits killed them from the north again. Xiaomin couldn't run anymore, and some other old people in the town who couldn't run packed up the things left by the fleeing people, and sat at home waiting for death. Unexpectedly, God has finally opened his eyes, and the bandits have today! The small people have brought all the meat and wine that can be eaten and drunk in the town to pay tribute to all the soldiers, thank you Your Majesty, thank you to the soldiers, thank you to the soldiers for saving the people of Li from fire and water......

The 6,000-person elder is also an indigenous resident of the Huayu Plain, listening to the words of the boss of the car in front of him, whether it is the accent or the things he says, it is clear, the thousand-person elder has heard of these things to some extent, and it is really like this: "Are all the sheep you drove for us?"

"Yes, yes. Soldier, they are all filial to you. ”

"Then you stand back, we will inspect the goods now. ”

"Okay, right away. The owner of the car climbed out, got into the ox cart, drove and drove, and drove the ox cart out for more than 30 meters.

"Flock ahead, shoot!" the commander waved his hand, and the soldiers pulled out their horns and bows and shot out like raindrops. The sheep bleated and screamed, and one by one fell to the ground, blood gushing everywhere.

It's really a sheep, that ...... There should be no problem: "Let the car boss come in, and then a few more people, throw all those dead sheep on the car boss's car, pull them back together, pick the best and most tender, and send them to the legion leader." ”

Crunch, crunch, the large suspension bridge with a width of five meters fell...... The owner of the car raised his whip and drove into the camp!
