Chapter Ninety-Eight: Where Are the Immortals?
It was already three o'clock when I came out of the palace, and it was the darkest time before dawn.
Chen Ruoping and Yan Tao rode two horses side by side, talking about the battle situation as they walked.
"What is the situation of Zuo Wei's death, and how can there be two different versions?" Chen Ruoping asked, "I see that you just flickered and made a plausible statement, what is the situation?"
"Hey, that's the case!" Yan Tao sighed and said, "If you only say that the number of dead in the left guard of the Central Army is indeed only more than 30,000, but if you add the old left guard ninth battalion assigned to the Northern Route Army, then there are really 50,000." That's why there are two different versions. ”
"Oh, the casualties are so serious?" Chen Ruoping frowned.
"Well, it's serious. Yan Tao nodded and said, "There are too many recruits in the left guard now, and 20,000 of the 30,000 people killed in battle are recruits. But the Mo Cong you selected is really good, and he has made a great contribution so quickly. Haha, from a small flag directly to a pipe band, this speed is beyond your reach. ”
"yes, it's good that I didn't choose the wrong person!" Chen Ruoping smiled. "But it's strange to say, how could Your Majesty be so bold and directly let a small flag be used as a pipe band? And he was so generous, rewarding tens of thousands of dollars in silver, and also funded the construction of the mansion. That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
"Haha, Your Majesty was also forced. Yan Tao smiled. "Don't you know, there is a reward order on the side of the Long Kingdom, and anyone who captures or kills Mo Cong alive will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver, and he will be directly promoted to the commander of the Ten Thousand Masters, which shows how much impact Murong Changfeng's death has caused on the side of the Long Kingdom. The bounty order over there is so rich, and we have to be interesting here. That's why there is such a reward. By the way, speaking of which, when you get to the Giant Spirit Pass, you must remind Mo Cong to save his life, although the seven masters of the Demon Sect did not come specifically at him, but the first thing to bear the brunt of it was to take Mo Cong's surname, if he couldn't come back alive, the reward would be the mansion or something, and they would all be lost. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely remind him!" Chen Ruoping smiled, "By the way, those seven Demon Sect masters... Do you think the martial arts people on our side can withstand it?"
"I'll look at it!" Yan Tao frowned, "As far as I know, the reason why the Demon Sect is called the Demon Sect is because their disciples have some extraordinary magical powers. Since it is extraordinary, it is not something that ordinary people like us can deal with, and it is estimated that it will depend on the gods to come out. ”
"Immortals... Is there really an immortal in Ruiguo?" Chen Ruoping's eyes widened and he asked curiously.
If Lei Bao said that there were immortals, Chen Ruoping would probably not believe it, but now that these words came out of Yan Tao's mouth, based on Yan Tao's always being extremely reliable, Chen Ruoping couldn't help but face it squarely.
"Of course there are immortals. Hey, weren't you rescued by the gods last time, why don't you know it yourself?" Yan Tao asked puzzled.
"Last time... Last time it was a gust of wind, and then it was ......"
Chen Ruoping couldn't go on talking about it, because what happened last time was too supernatural, except for the appearance of the immortals, it was really hard to explain.
"That's the immortals!" Yan Tao nodded mysteriously.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"This... There are immortals in the country of Rui, have you seen it with your own eyes?" asked Chen Ruoping reluctantly. Such a magical and strange thing, she still can't accept it, let alone believe it.
"I haven't seen it. Yan Tao shook his head and smiled. "There are many people in this world that I haven't seen before, but I know they exist. For example, Murong Kuo, I have never seen this person, but I clearly know that there is such a number one person in the Long Kingdom, and he is the great enemy of our Rui Kingdom. I mean...... Do you understand?"
"Murong Kuo... At least he did some well-known things, right?! The reason why we know about him is through these things. Chen Ruoping tried hard to catch up with Yan Tao's train of thought, "But, the immortal ......"
"Immortals have actually done some things, but because they are not so well-known, ordinary people don't know that there are immortals. Yan Tao smiled.
"For example?" Chen Ruoping immediately heard Yan Tao's voice.
"For example, you were saved by a strange wind. Another example is that the Songhe River once had a large flood, and the river channel inexplicably moved eastward into the sea, and 200,000 or 300,000 people in dozens of villages, towns, counties, and counties in the lower reaches of the Songhe River were spared. For another example, there were a few times when the Giant Spirit Pass was about to be conquered, but some supernatural events occurred inexplicably, and the enemy magically retreated. And also...... Ahem...... Anyway, there are so many facts in front of us, which is enough to prove that there are indeed immortals in our country. Yan Tao coughed twice, not knowing what he was covering.
"So...... Where is the immortal?Can you contact him and go to the Giant Spirit Pass to kill those demon sects?" Chen Ruoping asked expectantly.
Through some conversations, she always felt that Yan Tao seemed to know something, but she didn't want to say it.
"I don't know where the gods are. Yan Tao shook his head, "What I mean by saying these words to you is not that I know the whereabouts of the immortals, or even that I can contact the immortals, but I want you to relax." Because a large number of facts show that when the gods should appear, they will definitely appear. Therefore, although there are many people from the Demon Sect this time, it is destined to not become a climate, and it will definitely be repelled in the end. ”
"Okay! I have to admit that after listening to your fairy words, I am indeed much more relieved. Chen Ruoping breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Chen Ruoping has also heard about some supernatural events in the history of Rui, especially in the military history, but the materials she has are not as detailed and detailed as the chief in charge of intelligence, so she cannot draw the conclusion that "immortals exist".
"Well, don't worry. Yan Tao turned his mouth and said: "The so-called do your best, know the destiny of heaven, although we have immortals in Ruiguo, we can't rely on immortals all the time, what we ordinary people should do, we still have to do what we can." Therefore, this time I went to the Giant Spirit Pass, and there will be many martial arts masters accompanying me. Let the martial arts masters fight against the Demon Sect, this is a method that our Majesty specially came up with after the last battle of the Giant Spirit Pass. How to say it, this method is not exactly a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but wants to take the initiative to find a way to deal with the Demon Sect that we ordinary people can control. ”
"Oh. Chen Ruoping nodded. Yan Tao's words were too informative, and it was a little difficult to digest for a while.
"Among these martial arts masters, two of them are your acquaintances, and they live near your home. Yan Tao took out a note and said, "When you set off in the morning, you should take them with you directly, lest my people have to do half a day of explanation work and waste a lot of words." ”
"My acquaintance?" Chen Ruoping took the note in surprise and glanced at it, only to see that it read:
Montenegro sent chivalrous guests Mo Xiao and Mo Min to live in the Tasting Restaurant on West Sixth Street.
"Oh, it's the two of them. Chen Ruoping smiled, "West Sixth Street is indeed near my house." That... Well, that's all for me. I went to see them at dawn and asked for their opinions to see if they would like to go. By the way, Mo Cong and their master, how are you looking? I just happened to tell them when I met them. ”
"I haven't found it, and I don't seem to be able to find it. Hey, let's not talk about this first, let's talk about this Shangpinxiang Restaurant! You should have gone to this restaurant a long time ago! I heard that the proprietress ...... Hey, you'll find out when you go anyway. Yan Tao's expression was even more mysterious.
