Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Fulcrum of Divergence
As the Shen family finished speaking, the other two young men also spoke out, admiring Yan Kangfei very much.
"In that case, let's get together again after a while, and I'll invite you to drink when the time comes."
Yan Kangfei politely spoke to the other three, and the three of them didn't seem to notice that their servant's face was very pale.
"Then go back! When the time comes, I'll invite you to drink when I'm out of the country. ”
After Yan Kangfei finished speaking, he led everyone back in the direction of Diancang Town.
The other three didn't say anything, so they let a few servants carry them back and go back to Cangzhen together.
"The three brothers say goodbye, let's say goodbye, goodbye may be a year, I hope you will also not fall behind in cultivation."
Yan Kangfei spoke at the three of them, with reluctance in his tone.
"Big brother farewell! If you go to retreat here, you may come out to the third level of qi refining, which is already a speed of entry for those of us who are ordinary spiritual roots. ”
The three of them looked at each other and spoke.
"Goodbye."
Yan Kangfei's voice fell, and he began to go back to Yan's house with the servants behind him.
And when he turned around, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly, his plan had already begun to be implemented, presumably soon the souls of all the souls in Diancang Town would be absorbed and refined, and it might not be impossible to reach the third layer of the foundation building period at that time.
"The chess pieces have already begun to be laid out, and then, as long as you hold back for a while."
Yan Kangfei slanted his mouth and said coldly.
The Zhuyuan Mountain Range, where the army of the Yuxu Kingdom is stationed.
Whoop -
The person who was cultivating cross-legged in the cloth canopy was directly interrupted by this movement and withdrew from the cultivation state.
"Your Majesty has a decree: announce that you will follow the guests of the four princes into the palace~"
As the curtain of the cloth canopy was opened, I saw a man dressed in a kudzu cloth arrow coat and a gauze hat standing up straight, reciting the words to the four princes inside.
Hearing that it was the will of His Majesty the Jade Void Kingdom, although everyone was a little unwilling, they still stopped cultivating and knelt on the ground, and then said in unison: "I'll wait to receive the order!" ”
"Come back with me! I advise you not to do something useless, otherwise the family behind you will be wiped out, and the nine clans will be punished at the worst. ”
The voice of the person who recites the decree has a slight sharp sound, which sounds like a combination of male and female voices, like a sissy.
"I can't wait!"
The kneeling men spoke again, but sweat flowed down their foreheads, gathering and dripping to the ground.
"Time is pressing, please!"
The man who recites the decree leans sideways and moves out of the way, and speaks.
The crowd didn't stop, they just went outside and started to go back.
"Won't Grandpa Zhang stay and rest before going back?"
A man in armor and a cloak over his shoulders came to the side, smiling widely.
"General Meng, the miscellaneous family still has to take them back to meet Your Majesty, as for resting, it's okay to go back and rest again."
After seeing that the person who came was released by the Mongolian army, Gonggong Zhang explained loudly.
"Since Grandpa Zhang still has important matters, I won't bother much."
When Meng Junshi heard Gonggong Zhang say this, his tone was a little regretful.
"I won't bother General Meng too much, farewell!"
Gonggong Zhang bowed slightly to Meng Junshi, and then got into a sedan chair and followed the few guests who had followed the four princes before.
"General, I still can't find the body of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, do you want to find it again?"
After Zhang Gonggong walked away, a soldier came to Meng Junshi's side and knelt on one knee, panting and reporting.
"No, I can't find it."
Meng Junshi heard the report of the soldiers under his hand, waved his hand and said.
"But General, Your Majesty's decree ........."
The soldier cautiously raised his head and asked, his tone full of desire.
"Don't bother with it, Gonggong Zhang was here before, I had to be like this, but now I ........" Meng Junshi said this, his face froze, and he continued to speak: "The fourth prince doesn't know how long he has been dead now, and wanting to dig three feet into the ground to find him is tantamount to a fool's dream." ”
After Meng Junshi finished speaking, he snorted softly, and then changed the topic and asked, "How many people did you lose on the way to find His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" ”
"Back to the general, because Gonggong Zhang brought very few people, and with His Majesty's will, we dispatched almost half of our troops to search for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, but we encountered a stronger demon beast on the way, and lost no less than twenty people."
The soldier finished tremblingly, and he could feel his general's face turn angry.
"Twenty?"
Meng Junshi's face was very solemn, but he brought up twenty soldiers, it was his soldiers, and now he has lost twenty people, no matter how he thinks about it, he loses.
"What about the people on Father-in-law's side?"
Meng Junshi asked again.
"Grandpa Zhang, they, they ........."
"Say."
Seeing the soldiers who reported like this, Meng Junshi angrily reprimanded.
"General Hui, Gonggong Zhang, they didn't lose a single person, because it was our soldiers who were responsible for sweeping away the demon beasts in front, they hid in the back, and as soon as they saw the demon beasts, they let our soldiers kill them, so they lost twenty soldiers."
The soldier's tone was staccato and staccatory.
"So, I kind of remember."
Meng Junshi's face was very solemn, and now he burst out with a cold murderous aura.
"Go and give these twenty soldiers pensions to their relatives, if their relatives are ordinary people, they will give money, if they are cultivators who can cultivate, they will give spirit stones, only more and not less, this is what I am ashamed of them."
With a hint of sadness on his face, Meng Junshi spoke to the soldier who reported it.
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
After the soldier who came to report finished speaking, he then retreated.
Looking at the direction of Gonggong Zhang's departure, Meng Junshi looked at it like this, the anger on his face slowly accumulated, and after a long while, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was pondering.
To be honest, for him, compared to the lives of the four princes, the lives of his twenty soldiers seem to be heavier, but the royal family is the foundation, and he, a general, has no choice, all he can do is give money and spirit stones to their relatives.
"The beast roars and roars in the sky, and the enemy is protected by the soldiers of the hundred-mile frontier. I am very saddened that those in high positions will harm themselves! ”
Meng Junshi looked up at the mountains and forests not far away, and muttered in a low voice.
Isn't it a sad thing that these soldiers were stationed in the Zhuyuan Mountain Range at the time, responsible for suppressing the elite of the demon beasts, but they were killed by Zhang Gonggong?
The current Meng Junshi has almost no good impression of Zhang Gonggong.
Could it be that the people around him are people, and his own soldiers are not people? Relying on his high position, he ignored his soldiers and let them be killed at will, which made Meng Junshi very angry.
But it is useless to be angry now, presumably the soldier who reported just now waited until they left to report, and they deliberately blocked it.
And this is also the point that makes Meng Junshi and Zhang Gonggong disagree.
A few days later, the main hall of the palace of the Jade Void Kingdom is here.
"You can tell what you know now, now the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are here, if it is found that you have lied, the nine clans will be punished!"
