Chapter 12: The White Devil's Other Identity
After thinking about it for a while, Qing Zhan suddenly thought of something, and said happily: "I have a way to let the king and the princess discuss it together." β
When King Xiao heard that there was a wonderful method, he became happy and hurriedly said, "Then please say it quickly." β
"Although General Tong Ge is the confidant of King Beron, but Benjun remembers that there is a deputy general named Qiu Zhen under his command, although this person is his subordinate, but he has never been attached to him, although he is only a small leader, but he is also quite prestigious in the army, not to mention that this person is the right-hand man of General Long Ke back then, but because of General Long Ke was demoted to an official position, so it is almost forgotten now, although he only has a hundred soldiers in his hands, but his heart is quite right, and he will never conspire with King Beron to rebel, If we let him become our general, first, we can report the situation among the generals in real time, and we are not afraid that King Beron will suddenly rebel, second, he can lobby the soldiers so that they do not attach themselves to the traitors, and third, if there is a real mutiny, then he is the key to our victory. Qing Zhan's analysis was very clear, Jielan and King Xiao felt very safe after hearing it, and there was a solution to it, and their hearts, which had always been sorrowful, also relaxed.
King Xiao walked up to Qing Zhan's side, held his arm, and said: "This matter needs to be kept secret and cautious, don't let King Belon know, otherwise it may be useless after being discovered, and it may also harm the life of General Qiu Zhen, but although I find someone who can restrain King Belon, it can only be used as a last resort, if we don't need to react to mutiny, it will be even more useful, after all, the matter in Heimu County is very serious, I don't want to weaken the power of the royal city because of civil strife, and in the end make the fisherman profitable." β
Jielan thought that her mother was already very upset about this matter, she didn't want her mother to be anxious about this matter anymore, she held her mother's hand and said gently: "Mother, you can leave this matter to me and Qing Zhan, please believe that the two of us must have a way to deal with this matter, even if it is a little indulgence to our daughter when she first gets involved in politics!" β
Seeing her daughter so softly and earnestly, her mother felt that her daughter had indeed grown up, and felt that she should also learn to trust her, otherwise how could she rest assured that this bloody country would be in the hands of Jielan. She nodded and said, "Okay, how to find out the collaborator is up to you, if there is anything that needs the king's help, I will definitely help you, although my current rights are in vain, but I am still the king after all." β
Hearing these words, Jielan was still a little sad, as if as long as the country was calmed down, her mother was going to leave, but there were some things that Jielan was helpless, King Xiao felt that staying here would disturb his daughter and discuss countermeasures with Qing Zhan, so he went out of the side hall and went back to his bedroom, and after Jielan waited for her mother to leave, she said to Qing Zhan: "I think you should understand why I don't want my mother to participate in this rebellion." β
Qing Zhan nodded, he held Jielan's hand, gently stroked the back of Jielan's hand, wanted to give her a little comfort to the uneasy, and only said: "I know, you don't want your mother to experience the pain of civil strife again, and you don't want her to see the pain of war again, because you are worried that the king will think that she caused all this, so you are afraid that she will blame herself, and you, the hope of being a daughter, will take this responsibility of the mother and let you end it, right?" β
Jielan never thought that Qing Zhan would understand her so well, she always thought that Qing Zhan just blindly wanted to have herself, and never cared about her from the heart, but now that she hears it, Jielan is really wrong, it turns out that what she thinks, he knows it so well, Jielan smiled indifferently with relief, and said: "Yes, although my mother didn't say it, I can see that my mother's heart is very guilty and painful, and I really don't want her to be sad about this matter." β
"Now we can only hurry up, and if we delay for one more minute, our chances of winning will be one point less, and we must find a way to force them to show their original form." Although Qing Zhan has always been resourceful, this time he could not take it lightly against the treacherous and cunning King Belon and Princess Nanrong.
"Before dealing with them, I was more worried that the people of Heimu County would suddenly attack other cities and counties in advance, especially Chiyan City, that Kongjing had a grudge against Chiyan City, so he would definitely take Chiyan City first, I had already written two documents when I returned to the royal court, and the city lord of Tuo Jinxuan sent people to Chiyan City and Qing Zhou City respectively, so that they could take precautions, if Heimu County really came suddenly, if Wang Cheng failed to send troops to rescue, please ask Qing Zhou City to help Chiyan City, hoping to suspend the war. One more thing, I'm afraid you're worried about me. Jielan's brows tightened, and her beautiful face condensed together.
"Wouldn't I be more worried if you didn't say it?" The corners of Qing Zhan's mouth went up, and he was full of smiles.
Jielan sighed involuntarily when she thought of this, and felt a tingling pain in her heart, she withdrew her hand from Qing Zhan's hand, turned around, and said: "This time I went to Heimu County, and when I got to the black cave, I saw a Taoist priest called Phantom, this Taoist priest is good at summoning the technique, that is, taking people's souls to re-condense and then gather together to create new souls, and that Taoist priest is even more covetous of the souls of our seven blood demons, he wants to gather our seven blood demons, and then unite the souls of the seven of us together, Create a new human body, become his puppet, and then use it as a tool of war, and Chengfeng was also left in Heimu County because of this, the reason why I was able to escape was because Xuan Yin, the second son of Heimu County, took the risk to rescue me, so I could retreat with my whole body, otherwise, I am afraid that I will never come back, so, thinking of this Taoist priest's evil art, I am very worried, and on the way back, I decided to let the city lord of Yuning take Qing'er back to the royal city, and also let Jin Xuan pay more attention, as for Xuan Yin, I don't think his father would be so cruel as to give up his son's life, so I didn't worry too much, but who are the other two blood demons, and I haven't met yet, I don't know if you know? β
When Qing Zhan heard Jielan say this, he felt even more sorry for her in his heart, after all, she was under so much pressure and pain, at this time, she did not consider her own safety, but considered the safety of other blood demons and even future wars, etc., how rare she was as a woman, Qing Zhan wanted to share it for her, but he couldn't, he had to say: "I didn't expect Heimu County to be so disgusting, he would actually come up with such a method, one day, I will let this Taoist priest reap the consequences, but you mentioned the other two blood demons, One of them is the Red Demon Yandi of Chiluo County, and the other oneβ" When he said this, he didn't even go on, as if he was afraid that Jielan would know about it and make her miserable.
"What? The other one doesn't even know you? Jielan was also a little anxious.
Qing Zhan was even more embarrassed, he was silent for a long time, thinking about whether to tell Jielan about this, after thinking for a while, he felt that Jielan should know about it now, so he no longer concealed it, and said: "Do you know that there was also a war a hundred years ago, when Chengfeng was also a demon, do you know why Qingmeng killed him?" β
Jielan didn't know why Qing Zhan asked like this, she had heard Qingmeng mention it, so she said directly: "That's because Qingmeng was worried that Chengfeng would harm the world after he entered the demon, so he had to kill him." β
Qing Zhan shook his head and said, "When the Blue Devil was in the devil, could Qingmeng kill him ruthlessly, not to mention that Chengfeng was the person she fell in love with, how could she be willing to give it up?" β
"Could it be that there is some hidden secret in this?" Jielan couldn't figure out the reason for this, so she couldn't help asking.
"The reason why Qingmeng had to decide to kill Chengfeng to prevent future troubles is because once Chengfeng enters the deep demon, he will become an underworld, that is, the demon of hell, the power of this demon is not the same as the power of ordinary blood demons, it is said that it has the power to make everything dark, and people and beasts are dead, so when Qingmeng thought about the world, she had to endure the pain Jade to execute Chengfeng, but she still couldn't do it in the end, so she froze him under Xueling Mountain, but fortunately, because you saved him, let him return to his original state."
When Jielan heard these words, her heart was like being hit by a stone, and she panicked, she never thought that things would be like this, nor did she expect the gaffe to be so serious, she thought that Chengfeng was trapped in Heimu County, if the Taoist priest used evil qi to deal with him in advance, wouldn't Chengfeng become an underworld?
"What a poor wind, why does God treat him like this, he has not had much joy in his life, but he still has to suffer such an arrangement from God, isn't it too unfair to him?" Jielan's tears rippled, and she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to save Chengfeng.
Qing Zhan saw how Jielan was uneasy, she was so busy hugging Jielan and giving her comfort and support, he only said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue them, I promised you what this gentleman promised, and I will never forget it." β
Jielan leaned on Qing Zhan's arms, tears rolled down, wetting the placket on his chest, at this moment, she didn't know what to do? Now no matter how strong she is, there are times when she is vulnerable, no matter how independent she is, she also wants to have someone to rely on, and the person who can rely on is probably only fighting now.
Qing Zhan didn't continue to talk to her about dealing with King Belon with Jielan, he only hoped that she could calm down, that she could be by her side, no longer so strong, and that he could bring her to rely on, which was what Qing Zhan was looking forward to.
At this time, it was getting late, and Qing Zhan felt that Jielan must be exhausted after running around for days, and it was not suitable for her to work again, so let her go back to the palace to rest first. And Qing Zhan was worried that the royal court was already in danger, and he was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to Jielan at night, so he sent Tan Qi to protect her, and after he waited for the middle of the night, he took Split Bo to change his outfit and went out of the palace.
After Qing Zhan left the palace gate, he walked straight towards the western suburbs of Pingdu. Split Bo didn't know what Qing Zhan was going in this direction, but he didn't ask, just kept following Qing Zhan, and looked around to see if anyone was following.
Qing Zhan walked in the direction of more and more deviant, and finally walked into a dilapidated alley, there is a grass hut in the alley, the grass house must have not been repaired for a long time, it looks a little dilapidated, Qing Zhan did not answer the door, directly entered the front door, after entering the small courtyard, Qing Zhan did not want to be too offended, only called softly: "There is a guest to visit, but the host does not come out to pick up the guest?" β
Looking inside from the outside, there was still candlelight in the window, obviously the owner of this house had not yet fallen asleep, and the people in the house heard the shouts outside, so they opened the door with a lantern and walked out, and as soon as this person walked out, he saw that under the faint candlelight, he gradually reflected his figure, and saw that this person was in his forties, dressed in coarse cloth shorts and shorts, wearing cloth shoes on his feet, and wearing a towel on his head, although he looked like an ordinary peasant dress, but he was burly, magnificent, and seemed to be very energetic, and this person was the Qiu Zhen general mentioned by Qing Zhan, The general naturally knew that the person in front of him was Qing Zhan, and when he saw Shaojun's sudden visit, he was naturally a little flattered, and he was so busy kneeling down to greet him.
Qing Zhan hurriedly helped him up, and said warmly: "General Qiu Shen doesn't need to be polite, this gentleman has always respected General Qiu, you salute me, but I can't afford it." β
When Qiu Zhen heard this, he felt that he couldn't bear it, he felt very frightened, and hurriedly said: "Shaojun said this, it really makes the last general dare not do it." β
Qing Zhan smiled slightly, feeling that there were still many people in this small courtyard after all, and he was afraid that others would listen to him, so he said, "I don't know if General Qiu can invite Benjun into the room to speak?" β
Qiu Zhen hurriedly avoided the side and asked Shaojun to enter, Shaojun smiled and signaled, and entered the house, while Split Bo stayed outside to prevent others from approaching.
