Chapter Eighty-Four: Doubts
Although they were miles away, Xu Luo still had a cold feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Then, the white-clothed and white-haired man stretched out his hand and slashed towards the ground, grabbing the void, and a medicinal herb more than half a foot high, with a large piece of soil, was grabbed out by him like this.
Then, the herb disappeared into thin air.
The light-shaking star soul in Xu Luo's body also stopped throbbing at this moment.
The white-haired man in white didn't look at Xu Luo again, his figure shook slightly, and suddenly disappeared into the air.
The invisible pressure suddenly lightened, and Xu Luo let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his entire back was wet.
muttered, "Great sect...... With just two rolling words, a group of warriors with powerful breath roared and vomited blood and left......"
"Those people call the man in black a general, and he has a great general in his mouth...... Could it be that this person is Cao Tianyi's subordinate?" Xu Luo groaned in his heart, and suddenly heard a meow in his ears.
"I'm scared to death...... That person is so scary, the cat doesn't dare to breathe!"
"What, are you a ninth-order spirit beast, even you are afraid of him?" Xu Luo didn't know how strong the strength of the ninth-order spirit beast was, but those powerhouses in the realm of the Great Sword Master, in Meow Meow's eyes, were as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog.
What kind of strength does a person who can make meows feel terrified?
"Hmph, the cat master is a ninth-order spirit beast in the juvenile stage, understand? If the cat master grows into a powerful adult devouring beaver, that human will never be the opponent of the cat master!
"Well, I believe it. Xu Luo dealt with Meow Meow indiscriminately, and thought in his heart: No matter how strong that person is, it has nothing to do with me, but the group of people who were just scared away are likely to have a direct relationship with Cao Tianyi. This clue must not be given up easily.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Luo jumped off the tree, performed a shaking step, followed the way he came, and galloped away.
"What? Finding the enemy's traces? Great, doesn't that mean that we will be able to complete the mission soon?" said the little fat man Liu Feng excitedly.
The others were also excited, and they didn't expect to get the clue so easily.
Who doesn't want to make a career for young people, and who doesn't want to be a marquis and worship the prime minister?
If you can really complete this task, you will not be able to run away with a lot of military feats.
"Don't be too happy too early, let's not say if the other party has anything to do with Cao Tianyi for the time being. But these people don't have a simple role, and the aura on their bodies is not weaker than any of us!" Xu Luo said coldly: "So, if we are not careful, we may be discovered!"
"Then what should I do?" Liang Ziyi gritted his teeth and said: "Those damn crumbs, I really want to catch up and kill them!" "Now we may not be the opponents of that group of people, in case we startle the snake......" Xu Luo looked at Liang Ziyi and said, "Forget what I said before?"
Liang Ziyi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The main reason is that when I think of the massacre of the village, I can't suppress the anger in my heart......"
Xu Luo's eyes were deep, and he said softly: "The so-called massacre of the village, in fact, we only listened to Instructor Zhou's words, and we didn't see it, and we can't be sure that the matter was done by Cao Guoren......"
"What?"
When the others heard Xu Luo's words, they were all slightly stunned and looked at him puzzled.
Huangfu Chongzhi knew Xu Luo's character very well, and he was not the kind of person who talked nonsense, so he raised his head and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Xu Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have no evidence, it's just a feeling." ”
Thinking back to the black-clothed general and his group of men, Xu Luo didn't quite believe that those people could do something to slaughter unarmed civilians.
Ever since he saw the skills of that group of people, Xu Luo had already known that if he really wanted to do this kind of thing, he didn't need too many people at all, just the black-clothed general and his group of subordinates, in fact, it was enough!
What Instructor Zhou asked them to do was to find out where the army of Cao Tianyi, the prince and general of Cao Guo, was located......
A bold hypothesis was formed in Xu Luo's mind.
"Could it be...... Instructor Zhou couldn't be sure who did this, but ...... He, or our military department, needs such an excuse?" Li Hong frowned slightly and said.
"This ......," the others all pondered.
Although the group of people in the Martial Spirit Squad is young, they are not ordinary children, they have received the most sophisticated civil and military education in the entire Firmament Country, and they have their own opinions on everything.
"Don't say it, listening to you say that, it seems to have a bit of this flavor. Xu Jie said: "The people of that village were slaughtered, this kind of thing will not be fake, but it is really difficult to say who the real culprit is." ”
"That's right, the Cao State is so weak, even if they rely on the big tree of the Great Yan Empire, they are still trying to survive in the cracks, and it doesn't seem to do them any good at all to provoke us with such drastic means!" Huangfu Chongzhi said.
Xu Luo suddenly said at this time: "We found that the pile of charcoal that was buried deep may not have been left by the Cao soldiers, I always have a feeling that someone seems to be deliberately leading us to the side of the Cao soldiers." ”
"Could it be...... The people of the Great Yan Empire did it, and then used this to provoke a war between us and the Cao State, and further expand the war?" Li Hong analyzed.
"It's really possible, if you can't get it right, even Instructor Zhou has been misled by this!" Ling Luoxi added on the side.
"Let's go back and sort this out. Xu Luo's pure eyes flashed with the light of thought.
"Our group of people set out from the imperial capital and underwent devil training along the way, with the purpose of breaking up our people and distributing them to the grassroots level of the army, enriching the combat quality of the army, and complementing those veterans who have experienced a hundred battles. ”
"Then Instructor Zhou and the others suddenly got the news that a village adjacent to Cao Guo had been slaughtered, and according to people's instinctive reactions, the spearhead would definitely be directed at Cao Guo! In particular, Cao Guo also has a prince general who is good at blitzkrieg and has uncertain whereabouts......"
"As long as the enemy inadvertently leaves a few standard weapons of the Cao army in the village, then this matter is like a bright light in the night, and everyone will think that the Cao army did it!"
"Driven by the instinct of anger, the people on our side will first frantically look for Cao Tianyi's traces, and after finding it, a big war will be inevitable......! Cao Tianyi is not a soft persimmon, although Cao Guo is weak, Cao Tianyi's army is not weak! In this way, it will involve a lot of our energy......
"Instructor Zhou is not like the kind of person who has no wisdom, he should be also suspicious of this matter, so he didn't even send a real military scout, but selected dozens of people from our group of students to do this. ”
"This is a real test of life and death, and it is also a kind of experience for us! If we can really discover the whereabouts of Cao Tianyi's army and report it, what to do will be decided by that side; if we fail, it will be for the entire military headquarters of the Firmament Country...... Actually, it's not much of a loss!"
After Xu Luo finished speaking, he looked at the contemplative crowd, and then said: "So, I think that this matter has developed to the present, and we can no longer simply take it as a reconnaissance mission, my suggestion is...... Find out about this!"
"That's right, I also want to find out about this matter now, what the military department has planned, that's their business, but the thousands of people in that village can't die in vain!" Li Hong said in a deep voice.
......
More than 400 miles away, there is a huge valley, there are no trees in the valley, it is covered with grass more than a foot high, and a large river runs through the valley and flows quietly.
On one side of the river, there are tents, and as far as the eye can see, there is no boundary.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, a middle-aged man in his forties sat in the first place. The middle-aged man has a face with Chinese characters, a serious face, frosted temples, and a pair of eyes that are very sharp.
In front of the middle-aged man stood a man in black, with a resolute face, but his face was somewhat pale.
If Xu Luo was like this again, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the person in front of him was the one who confronted the white-haired man in white.
"Lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't been able to get that Nine Xuan Heavenly Heart, and I ask the Lord to punish him. The man in black said, kneeling on one knee and hanging his head.
"Is it Qiushui?" The middle-aged man sitting in the first place raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "If it's him, even if we go ten times as many people, we won't be able to stop him, that's it, I don't blame you for this matter, you get up and speak." ”
"Thank you, Lord. The man in black stood up, and then said: "The lord explained that matter, and his subordinates also have a clue, there are indeed people from the Dayan Empire, who are active in the endless forest sea, and the village in the Firmament Country was slaughtered, it should be those people who did it, but unfortunately those people are very cunning, and their subordinates are incompetent, so they can't catch them." ”
The man in black said, suddenly gritting his teeth and saying, "But this matter must be handled by our people! Otherwise, those people of the Great Yan Empire would not be able to cross the Endless Forest Sea to find the village of the Firmament Country!"
Damn, we have been stationed in such a difficult place all year round, training troops for the country, but there have always been people in the DPRK and China who are dragging us back......
Now he is colluding with foreign thieves to do such a heart-wrenching thing, and lead the anger of the Firmament Kingdom to my Cao Kingdom, which is ...... It's a traitor!
Once the Firmament Country really fights, our Cao Kingdom will be overthrown......! Those people who are short-sighted don't think that they can sit back and relax by hugging the thigh of the Dayan Empire!
The wolves in the east eat people, but the wolves in the west eat vegetarians? Those who eat vegetarian food should be killed!"
The first middle-aged man sighed and said softly: "Jiang Han, you don't understand, in the eyes of the imperial brother, my younger brother is far more terrifying than Dayan and the sky...... I have been training here for more than ten years, how many things has my imperial brother done behind my back? Hehe, didn't the regiment under his command all play the name of the lightning general who disappeared without a trace for me?"
"Lord, in that case...... Why don't you just ......" The eyes of the man in black flashed with a dazzling light.
"That's enough!" the middle-aged man snorted, stopped the man in black's words, and then waved his hand a little weakly: "I haven't said anything to you, let's go down and recuperate first." ”
Jiang Han's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, but he nodded, bowed to the middle-aged man, and then retreated.
