Chapter 404: The Great Army Turns
"So you did everything?" was Qiu Yan's voice, with a little weakness, "Who the hell are you?!"
"Soon you'll know who we are!" the voice said coldly.
"Who are you, get out of here!" Emperor Qiu Yan roared, "Even if you die, you won't be able to succeed!"
There was a muffled snort from inside the Yuanli car, and soon, it fell silent.
"Why didn't you kill him?" said the cold voice just now, "Don't forget how you promised us!"
"Don't worry. This voice was the voice of Qiu Yan, "We originally planned to kill him to create chaos, but I thought about it just now, there is no need to kill him, or rather, it is not appropriate to kill him now." Wouldn't it be better if I turned the army back and then announced that it was passed to you?"
"Then can you control him forever? Don't forget, Qiu Yan has already been promoted to Venerable! He was ready to commit suicide just now!"
"This time, I specially brought the method of the Ancestor, it is difficult to control a Venerable Immortally, but it is still possible to control it for a few days!" "Qiu Yan" said smugly, "You still can't believe my Ancestor? I did take a lot of effort to control him just now, otherwise how could he have a chance to commit suicide?"
This person was obviously very jealous of the ancestor in the mouth of "Autumn Death", and he stopped speaking when he heard the words.
"Alright, let's finish it quickly!" said the voice of "Autumn Death".
"How weak are you!" the cold voice said, and then shouted in a panicked voice, "Where are the guards?"
The Yuanli car where the emperor is located, the natural conditions will be much better, there are special divisions into various areas, Qiu Yan is just in the living room, not far from the hall, there are guards guarding.
At this moment, one of the guards heard the voice and hurriedly turned around and ran over, "Emperor?"
"Come in!" Qiu Yan's extremely weak voice came from the meeting room, the guards were shocked, and hurriedly ran into the meeting room, only to see Qiu Yan's right hand tightly covering his chest, and a dagger stuck in it!
"Emperor, what's going on?" the guards were shocked.
"The Emperor is assassinated!" "The Emperor has been assassinated!" and Qiu Yan is the deputy commander of the three major battalions, the Qiu Du of the Qiu family, and there is still a person lying on the ground, it is the Wang Cheng who the Emperor has just summoned, and he is currently the Sima Officer of the Jinwufu City Guard, serving as the chief officer of the northward team.
"Qiu Yan" said to himself, "There are assassins who committed murder, and I was scared away, but they killed Wang Cheng, and even injured me, and the order went down, and the whole army turned back to Qingyundu, Marshal Qiudu, you hurry up and dispatch troops and horses!"
"Yes!" the guards hurriedly went down to give the order, and soon, the Yuanli car collectively turned around and drove towards Qingyundu.
At this time, Luo Fan and the four of them had just caught up with the Yuanli car, but when they saw the Yuanli car turning, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"How could the army turn around?" Luo Fan frowned, "Could it be that something happened?"
"No matter what accident he has, I'll go find my eldest brother first!" Qiu Feng said impatiently.
"Autumn wind, don't worry. Luo Fan grabbed Qiu Feng and said solemnly, "Although I can't say why, my intuition tells me that it's better not to show up now." ”
"But I'm worried about my big brother!" Qiu Feng said with red eyes.
"In this way, we quietly touched it. Luo Fan was helpless, "My sensing range is far greater than that of Venerable, if we find that the other party has the possibility of discovering us, we will retreat! Before that, I believe I can find Qiu Yan first!"
"It's fine!" Qiu Feng nodded.
Next, Luo Fan and the others galloped south for a while, and then found a suitable place to hide, so they hid and waited for the army to pass by.
"In this place, I can sense that every Yuanli car will not be lower than ten breaths, and the other party will definitely not be able to find me!" Luo Fan said to everyone.
Ten breaths doesn't sound like a long time, but don't forget, the speed of the Yuanli car is quite fast, and Luo Fan can cover a Yuanli car's ten breath time, which means that it can cover an extremely long distance.
The Yuanli car carrying the army of the Qingyun Empire began to return, and Luo Fan stopped talking, staring intently at each passing Yuanli car.
Suddenly, Luo Fan's spirit was shocked, and when he saw the autumn wind, he hurriedly said, "How is it, have you found my eldest brother?"
"Found out!" Luo Fan nodded, "Qiu Yan is injured! No wonder the army has turned around." ”
"My eldest brother is injured?" Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment, and was furious, "Who did it?"
"I don't know. Luo Fan shook his head, "But it seems that there should be no big problem, there is a military doctor who is giving him medicine." ”
"Strange. Bright Sword muttered on the side, "We have come all the way, and we haven't seen anything unusual about the army. The army turned around suddenly, assuming that it was because of the attack on Qiu Yan, it means that it was just now, but we didn't find anyone leaving from the Yuanli car at all, so where did the assassin go?"
"There is a corpse in the Yuanli car, and there are guards cleaning up the scene, could it be that the assassin ambushed him on the spot?" Luo Fan described the appearance of Wang Cheng, and Qiu Feng immediately shook his head and denied, "The person who died is Wang Cheng, if I remember correctly, it should be a figure who has only risen in recent decades, this person serves as Sima of the Jinwufu City Guard, and in the Jinwufu City Guard, he can be called one person and more than ten thousand people!" Anyone who serves as a high-ranking official of the city guard has a strict review in the empire, and is more inclined to choose people from military families, and this royal city, the ancestors of the eight generations are all imperial officers, and there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion!"
"Why are you so sure?" Luo Fan frowned and said, "What Liang Jian said makes sense, there are no assassins outside, but there is a person in the Yuanli car, no accident, then Wang Cheng must have failed to assassinate!"
"It's useless to speculate too much. Tutu continued, "Since it is not appropriate to go directly to Qiu Yan, then I suggest that you directly capture a guard, wouldn't it be clear?"
"It's all on the Yuanli car now, I can't guarantee that it won't be discovered!" Luo Fan shook his head.
"Simple. Qiu Feng immediately said, "Isn't the Yuanli car turning? When the army arrives at Jinwu Mansion, there is a high probability that the city guards of Jinwu Mansion will stay in Jinwu Mansion, we can choose the opportunity to start, even if there is still no chance, when Qiu Yan returns to Qingyun Capital, he will not be able to station the army in the Imperial City, right? ”
"It's okay!" Luo Fan nodded, "Then the guard closest to Qiu Yan, I believe that if someone is found to have assassinated Qiu Yan, this guard should be the first to arrive at the scene." ”
"By the way, where my eldest brother stays, there is no one else except Wang Cheng?" Qiu Feng suddenly asked.
"There's one more. The Yuanli car where Qiu Yan was located had already driven away, Luo Fan thought about it carefully, and then described the appearance of this person, Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously, "I know this person, it is the autumn degree of the Qiu family." ”
"Qiudu?" Luo Fan was stunned, "Is there something wrong with this person?"
"It's not wrong. Qiu Feng shook his head and wondered, "Qiu Du is the deputy commander of the three major battalions of Qingyun Capital. It's not that Akidu shouldn't be by my big brother's side, it's that it's very unlikely. ”
Seeing the uncertain expressions of Luo Fan and the others, Qiu Feng said in detail, "First of all, the Qiu family controls most of the country's army with the military talismans issued by the Imperial Pavilion, and only by using the military to govern can they have absolute control over the empire. In the Qingyun Empire, although the Chang family is a super family, they have never asked about political affairs and are far away from Qingyundu, so the empire is controlled by three major families, among which the position of the Great Emperor and most of the country's army are controlled by the Qiu family. The Zhu family and the Liu family, as first-class families, control the finances and administration of the empire, and are respectively the prime minister and prime minister. This kind of mutual restraint is also something that the emperor is happy to see. Back to the Qiu family, its internal control of the army is divided into the following situations. First, the head of the Qiu family, who is the Emperor of the Empire, directly controls 500,000 green-winged vulture cavalry, provided that the emperor is recognized and canonized by the imperial pavilion, otherwise the blue-winged vulture cavalry will not appear. At present, my eldest brother's succession to the throne is too short, and there is no canonization order from the Imperial Pavilion at all, so this time, there are no blue-winged vulture cavalry in the army. ”
"Bluewing vulture cavalry?" Luo Fan was stunned, "What kind of army is this?"
"I'll say it in general, otherwise it's a long way off. Qiu Feng smiled slightly, "The Bluewing Vulture Cavalry is the most powerful type of troops in the Empire, whether it is individual combat ability or group combat ability, it is the first. Let's just put it this way, a Yuan King is almost killed in an instant against a Blue-winged Vulture Cavalry! Even in the face of a Venerable, the Blue-Winged Vulture Cavalry can't beat it, and it can run, after all, people are fighting in the sky. ”
"Understood, continue. Luo Fan nodded.
"Second, the empire still has five million green jade wolf cavalry, this is the strongest force on the ground! Of these five million, three million are stationed at Baisan Pass all year round, and they are the only troops that can attack the barbarian tribes and attack and defend each other with the barbarians. This part of the army, which does not listen to anyone's orders and only knows how to attack the barbarians, can be called the last barrier on the mainland. The remaining two million Qingyu wolf cavalry, scattered in various prefectures and cities, are not allowed to come out unless they rebel, and they are the biggest cornerstone of the empire's stability!" Qiu Feng said eloquently, "In addition, the empire also has 50 million Qingyun Iron Cavalry, all of which are stationed in Baisanguan to defend the territory, and these armies are all commanded by the marshal appointed by the Emperor, and this marshal must be canonized by the Imperial Pavilion. Finally, the Qingyun Empire still has 100 million ironclad troops and uncountable local city guards, among which the three battalions stationed in Qingyun are mainly three battalions, totaling 10 million ironclad troops. ”
"Wait!" Luo Fan sensed that something was wrong, "Of the three major battalions of 10 million, Qiu Yan only brought out 700,000?"
"Seven hundred thousand is normal. Qiu Feng nodded, "I haven't mentioned it yet, of the 10 million ironclad army, of which five million are under the orders of the Emperor, and five million are under the orders of the Qiu family. But the one who obeys the emperor's orders must be the emperor who has been canonized by the emperor's pavilion, and there is no doubt that my eldest brother can't bring out this group of people. The remaining five million are under the orders of the Qiu family, among them, the descendants of the Qiu family, that is, my eldest brother, can only control 300,000, and the rest of the people are controlled by various branches. Therefore, my eldest brother can bring out 700,000, but in fact, it is far beyond his energy, and this is what is wrong!"
