Chapter 8: Confusing Intelligence
Zhao Hongming, who had just returned to the Wuwang Mansion, was still wearing a strong suit and did not return to his original appearance.
He was relatively cautious.
Even in the Martial King's Mansion, he did not let his guard down.
Generally speaking, if he used Wei Wuji's identity, he would choose to enter the practice room and then change his identity and come out.
In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, this Ming Sect Master will retreat and practice in the practice room, and he will not think too abruptly.
Zhao Hongming stood at the door, his steps as if he had thought of something.
He took out the blinding formation he had just found from the Upper Immortal Gate from his arms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Regarding this set of blinding formations, the Formation Dao Sutra has a detailed method of use, which is of some use to him.
After Zhao Hongming recalled it for a while, he pinched it with one hand.
With a thought, his spirit attached to the triangular flag in front of him without a trace.
A total of nine pennants trembled slightly.
Zhao Hongming's lips spit out the word "Qi", and these penangular flags turned into transparent streamers, flying everywhere without a trace.
A formation that was invisible to the naked eye quickly took shape around the practice room, covering the practice room.
As the Formation Dao Sutra says, this blinding formation can not only cover up the truth, but also lay out an illusion.
Zhao Hongming's heart moved, and another "Zhao Hongming" in the practice room gradually condensed, vivid and real.
It is a mirror formed by the blinding formation, which can be designed and operated at will with the person who arranges the formation.
After arranging these, Zhao Hongming nodded with satisfaction and strode in.
After seeing the Ming Sect Leader Wei Wuji striding into the practice room, the beautiful woman cautiously poked her head over to observe.
She manipulated the jade cicada lying on the window, silently folded her wings, crawled in along the gap in the window, and retracted into a corner.
Then it remained motionless as if it were a dead thing, with only a glassy sheen on the surface.
In the practice room, there are two figures of similar height.
One is Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, who has just entered, and the other is Zhao Hongming, the martial king who has been transformed into a formation.
The two faced each other.
Zhao Hongming couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at it.
He said in the tone of Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect: "King Wu, now that the Shangxian Sect has been destroyed by me, the martial arts forces that can be called famous in the entire Ying County have all been cleared up so far. ”
"Zhao Hongming" was shocked on his face, showing a stunned expression: "So fast? The leader is hard. ”
"Everything I promised Your Highness has been done." Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, said: "I hope that what His Highness promised me in the future will not break his promise." ”
"Zhao Hongming" Zhengse said: "Don't worry, this king has always kept this matter in his heart and will not forget it." ”
Wei Wuji glanced at Zhao Hongming up and down, and seemed to admonish with deep meaning: "As a royal family, I suggest that Your Highness should focus more on governing the country, and it is not good to be a martial artist in the rivers and lakes." ”
Zhao Hongming shook his head: "It's just practicing self-defense and fitness, and it shouldn't be taken seriously." ”
Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, didn't say anything more, his eyes were lowered, and he seemed to glance at "Zhao Hongming" with deep meaning, and the latter understood.
"The sect is mainly in retreat and cultivation, so this king won't bother here."
The leader of the Ming Sect sat cross-legged on the futon and did not reply.
"Zhao Hongming" clasped his fists in both hands, hugged his fists and left the practice room.
The beautiful woman who was hiding in the rockery outside the practice room shrank her head, hid her figure, and did not visit again.
When "Zhao Hongming", who walked out of the practice room, walked to a certain position, it was as if a colorful bubble had been punctured, and it suddenly broke and disappeared.
After waiting in place for a while, the beautiful woman decided that the time was almost up, and pinched her hands.
The jade cicada hidden in the window of the practice room began to climb outward, and when it reached the windowsill, it shook its wings and quietly flew towards the beautiful woman hiding in the rockery.
The beautiful woman caught the jade cicada and pressed it to her brow.
She closed her eyes, and all the scenes and conversations in the practice room came to mind.
After a while, the beautiful woman was a little disappointed: "I used to think that this practice room was specially prepared for the Martial King, but now it seems that it is actually for the Ming Sect Master." The two are not the same person. ”
"This Ming Sect Leader thinks that he wants to support King Wu, but he doesn't know how much he wants to support."
After thinking about it for a while in the rockery, I felt that this piece of information was still very valuable.
Immediately, she restrained her mind, pretended to be nothing, walked out of the rockery, and walked back with a calm demeanor.
Just as she walked out of the rockery, Zhao Hongming in the practice room opened his eyes and glanced in her direction with deep meaning.
He already knew the identity of the beautiful woman, and today he had a set of blinding formations that came into play, giving them a little false information.
Now his cultivation is still a little unsafe, if other countries know the news that he can cultivate as a royal family, the top martial artists of other countries may have ideas, which will be unfavorable to him and bring him trouble.
A little bit of disinformation can just confuse them, direct the attention of these people in other directions, and delay some time.
With the [Heavenly Dao Reward for Diligence] martial arts system, as long as he is not lazy and willing to cultivate, his efforts will be rewarded, and his strength will continue to grow.
In a few years, he will be able to become the number one martial artist in the world.
When the time comes, there will be no such thoughts.
Zhao Hongming gathered his mind and concentrated on starting to cultivate seriously.
Night falls, and it's late at night.
A black bird in the Martial King's Mansion flew out silently, blending into the darkness and flying towards a certain neighborhood in Luling City.
The birds circled in the night sky for a while, and finally landed at the door of the study.
Da-da-da-da!
The bird's sharp beak pecked at the door panel, making a slight movement.
The door panel of the study was removed, and an elegant middle-aged man walked out of the doorway, held down the bird, removed the object tied to its feet, and then gently closed the wooden plank.
The bird at the door pecked at its feathers, jumped twice at the door, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
Yu Shu Zhai is a shop specializing in the sale of the four treasures of the study.
It is filled with many objects used by literati and ink writers, and is filled with a smell of calligraphy and ink.
The elegant man picked up the lamp on the counter and walked into the living room behind the shop.
At this time, in the living room sat a man dressed in black, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a sword hanging from his waist.
The man opened his mouth and asked, "Is it the spy from the Martial King's Mansion who sent the information?" ”
His voice is deep and powerful, very magnetic, and it sounds like a spring breeze.
The elegant man nodded and said, "My lord, I came from the Martial Prince's Mansion." ”
The sword-eyed man said: "It just so happens that we also know some information from the Great Liang, which has something to do with this Martial King, and we want you to verify it." ”
"What kind of information, sir?" The elegant man said respectfully.
"Our spies on the side of Daliang have learned that this Martial King may already be an innate martial artist."
"Huh? Is this news reliable? The royal family has national fortunes to contain, and it is impossible to have such a high level of cultivation, unless this martial king is not of royal blood. ”
"There is no doubt that this martial king is the bloodline of the Zhao family, otherwise, Emperor Jian'an would not have crowned him king."
"That ......" The elegant man's heart was a little shocked: "That cultivation is also true?" ”
"We paid some price in Daliang to get this information, and it is reliable seven or eight times out of ten, but this news is too unbelievable, so we still need you to verify it. Do you know what it means to be a royal family that can practice martial arts? ”
The elegant man opened his mouth and said, "Martial arts genius." ”
"Although it is said that a single martial artist is nothing in this world of great contention, even the martial artist of the Creation Realm of Chu has to retreat in front of the gods and demons."
"But this Martial King is different. His identity would upset the balance we have maintained for hundreds of years. For those of us martial arts forces, it affects our authority, and our head attaches more importance to this matter. ”
"So he asked me to come to Ying County to investigate, and wanted to nip this danger in the cradle as soon as possible."
The elegant man's face changed and said, "Do you want to do it directly and kill the Martial King?" ”
The man with sword eyebrows said: "After all, the identity of the Martial King is somewhat special, if we kill him indiscriminately, it will easily cause a war between the two countries." The royal family of Zhao was not ready. ”
"But if it is confirmed, the head of the sect also gave an order, even if it is at the risk of a battle between the two countries, this martial king must be strangled. Now General Li Mu has been moved by the head of the house, and secretly gathered an army of 100,000, which will be arranged on the border of Wei and Zhao in case of emergency. ”
After the elegant man listened, his heart beat twice, this was not something he could participate in, and he changed the topic and said, "My lord, let's look at the information that has just come from the Martial King's Mansion." ”
"Is it consistent with the intelligence we've spied on in the girders?"
The elegant man took out a piece of jade with the size of a fingernail and put it on his forehead, closing his eyes.
After a moment, his face turned strange.
The sword-eyed man asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Excellency, will you take a look?"
The sword-eyed man took the jade piece.
This jade piece is from their Haoran Sect, and it is undoubtedly a spy of the Black Cloth Society.
And looking at the style of this jade piece, this spy in the Wuwang Mansion is also capable.
The sword-eyed man pressed the jade piece to his forehead.
After a few breaths, he stood up and said in disbelief, "It's impossible. ”
"But that's just the way it is."
"I think your information is wrong, it shouldn't be like this."
The elegant man said with some unhappiness in his heart: "My lord, judging from my past experience, the probability of information being wrong is not very high. But my lord, the information you have over there can't be completely guaranteed to be correct. After all, the matter of the royal family's cultivation is really a bit appalling. ”
Hearing this, the sword-eyed man was silent, his hands behind his back, walking back and forth in the room.
"We spent a lot of money in Daliang, and we shouldn't go wrong. In this way, you let the spies in the Martial King's Mansion touch the foundation of the Martial King a few more times, and then we will make a judgment. ”
The elegant man pondered for a while and said, "Okay, then according to the words of the adults, let's observe it again." ”
After a while, as if thinking of something, the elegant man said: "Compared to His Royal Highness the Martial King, should we pay more attention to the sect leader of the Ming Sect?" According to the spies in the Martial Arts' Mansion, this person seems to have come over together from the time when the Martial King arrived in Yingjun, which is really a bit mysterious. ”
He continued, "I suspect that he is the same martial artist you found in the girder. After all, this person has a close relationship with the Martial King, confusing your cognition. Just imagine, if King Wu was so important, how could King Wei send him to this wasteland? The cultivation of the innate realm is not low, but if you look at the world, it is nothing? ”
The sword-eyed star-eyed man hesitated, and said quite unconfidently: "It's to check carefully." For the rest of the year, I will be in Yingjun, and I will leave after the matter is clarified. ”
"Okay, I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu has an army named Wei Wushu in his hands, which is also a little unusual, and adults can also understand it first."
……
Barrack.
After Quan Erbao and Ma Chuanping finished a day's training, they rested in the barracks.
Now that Zhao Hongming has won a lot of the foundation of the Yin Kingdom, coupled with the many martial arts forces that have swept away Yingjun one after another, whether it is the wish stone or all kinds of gold and silver cloth, it is very abundant.
As a Wei soldier, he is very generous in terms of daily training and rewards, and there is never a shortage of soldiers' salaries.
Therefore, the first batch of people who became Wei Wushu's strength also improved rapidly.
But whether it is a stone, or gold or silver, it is not something that anyone can take casually.
Wu Qi set strict rules for this, and only after meeting his requirements could he receive full pay and rewards.
Under such regulations, many people stood out and quickly became the mainstay of Wei Wushu.
Ma Chuanping belongs to this category.
He never cheats and slips in his usual training, and he is always in the first position when he fights.
Therefore, his salaries and rewards were sufficient, and his cultivation progress was also rapid.
With the expansion of 1,000 Wei Wushu to 3,000, his status also rose, and in a short period of time he was promoted from Wu Chang to Shi Chang.
Some people are proud, and some people are frustrated.
Quan Erbao, who was sleeping next to Ma Chuanping, was a frustrated person.
He and Ma Chuanping entered the same military camp, and when he first entered the barracks, Ma Chuanping's cultivation was still a little lower than him, and now it has not been long before the identities of the two have changed a lot.
Seeing that the people around him were making such progress in the past, but he was still standing still, he couldn't help but feel a lot of resentment in his heart.
I feel that everyone here is targeting him and being unfair to him.
Especially the last time he entered the ancient tomb of the Yin Kingdom, he quietly inquired that Ma Chuanping had also received an additional reward, but at that time he also went in but had nothing.
In an instant, the resentment in my heart deepened.
A bold thought rose from his heart, and he could no longer suppress it.
That is to escape and find another way.
It just so happened that he also had some wish stones and gold and silver on his body, which was enough for him to rush to Zhao State.
Tonight is a good opportunity.
Quan Erbao quietly opened his eyes and made sure that everyone in the barracks was asleep, he crept up, picked up the belongings he had prepared from under the pillow, and walked out of the barracks like a thief.
Just after he left, Ma Chuanping immediately opened his eyes.
With a suspicious look on his face, he followed without alerting the others.
There were patrols in the barracks.
Quan Erbao, who had been training in the barracks, obviously knew this, and easily bypassed the patrol team and walked to the corner of the barracks.
There's a dog hole there, just enough for one person to pass through.
Quan Erbao looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he threw the net worth he brought over outside the barracks, and then lay on the ground and prepared to drill a dog hole and escape from the Wei Wushu barracks.
Seeing this, Ma Chuanping, who chased after him, didn't know that he was going to be a deserter!
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Quan Erbao, what are you going to do?" ”
