Chapter 324: The Clouds Rise
On this day, martial law was already under martial law in the entire Overseer Building, and there were more than a dozen Tilulang with solemn expressions outside the office guarding the door, and each of them was almost a Heavenly Aspect Realm realm cultivator.
This kind of force guards in front of the yamen, and even half of the barracks may not be able to attack it, and of course, there is no possibility for the people inside to escape.
"Commander Chen, this is also the last time I will call you an envoy. In the courtyard, Song Xiaoshan took the handkerchief handed by his subordinates and wiped the blood off his face, and said with a slightly proud expression.
"If you are willing to give up resistance, I can consider sparing your life, but if you are stubborn and still have to resist, then I will let your soul fly away and ashes. He threw the handkerchief in his hand on the ground and said sharply.
"Is that what Zhongqiu told you?" Standing at the door, he glanced at the many strong men standing in the sky around the courtyard, and finally his eyes fell on Song Xiaoshan, and he said with a calm expression.
Song Xiaoshan snorted coldly when he heard this, "Old is worthy of being old, how did you know that all this was arranged by General Zhong Lao today?"
"You who have always been arrogant, Song Xiaoshan shouted out a sentence, except for the mid-autumn of the old general, I really can't think of anyone else with this seniority qualification on the Great Wall of Lishan. The old said truthfully: "What's more, the Heavenly Spirit Soft Armor on your body is the only one on the Great Wall, if I remember correctly, he should be a thing of Zhongqiu, but now it is worn by you, don't say that it was stolen from Zhongqiu." ”
After hearing the old reasoned explanation, Song Xiaoshan clapped his hands and laughed and said, "If you still see something, you might as well say it together before you die." ”
"It can be seen that Zhongqiu values you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over the Heavenly Spirit Soft Armor to you. The old narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "I also know that whether you are tied up or not, the order you got from Mid-Autumn is to keep me here completely." ”
"Song Xiaoshan, did you really take refuge in Zhongqiu?!" Hearing the commander say this, Huang Pu, who was standing with him, asked angrily.
Song Xiaoshan smiled noncommittally at this and did not answer.
In fact, what Chen Lao said was true, he did lie just now, and the order he got from Zhongqiu was that even if he tried his best, he couldn't let Chen Lao, who was Wu Qi's henchman, take half a step out of the Overseer.
As for Huang Pu, according to the words of the old general Zhongqiu, he will definitely stay if he is back in line, if he refuses, let Huang Pu and the old two go on the road together, at least there is a good response on Huangquan Road.
Of course, on Song Xiaoshan's side, he has already made a good choice for Huang Pu.
The loyal Huang Pu was unwilling to live in the world after seeing the commander make the old body die, and after killing two more Tilulang, he died of exhaustion.
You see how good he is to this enemy who hates each other on weekdays, and even the way to die is kind enough to help him think about it.
So what Huang Pu has to do next is to die with confidence.
"If you are not old, if you are not a Confucian general who was praised by Wu Qi in front of all the generals as 'can be used as several armies', don't talk about me, even the old general of Zhongqiu will be willing to give you a chance to live again because of his talents. Song Xiaoshan rubbed the corner of the Heavenly Spirit soft armor on his body, and said with emotion: "But in this world, especially in the Overseer's construction, the most unlikely thing is the word if." ”
"Do it!" Song Xiaoshan, who was worried about the change in the future, raised his right hand high and then fell heavily, and said with awe-inspiring murderous intent.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen Creation Realm powerhouses who were originally standing in the air urged the majestic spiritual power in their bodies to attack and kill the two people at the entrance of the White Tiger Hall.
"Huang Pu, he has a heart for me. The old method of rippling in the heart lake said to Huang Pu, who had a serious expression: "So if there is a chance, you can leave me alone, escape and find the general, and tell the general that Zhongqiu wants to rebel!"
"Lord Chen, I won't leave you alone. Huang Pu turned his head to look at the old one, his brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, neither of you can escape. Seeing the expressions on the faces of Chen Jiu and Huang Pu, Song Xiaoshan, who had roughly guessed their hearts, laughed playfully and said, "At that time, I will make the great Overseer a grave for you." ”
"Even if I die, I'm going to kill you!" Huang Pu clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth.
Between the words, the dozen or so powerhouses of the Creation Realm had already been killed.
Huang Pu shouted "It's good" and then threw a punch forward.
The black-clothed powerhouse who attacked and killed also blasted towards Huang Pu's face with a punch.
The last two fists slammed into each other, making a dull sound.
After the punch, Huang Pu took two steps back, his figure retreated to the door, and his left foot was against the threshold, which was already cracked and broken.
As for the black-clothed powerhouse who was fighting against Huang Pu, he was knocked back by Huang Pu's punch, and after the ball of his foot made a spark mark in the void, he completely stabilized his body after retreating two feet.
"Good means!" the black-clad masked man shook off the remaining fist strength in his hand, and said in a cold voice with a grim look in his eyes.
"Come again!" Huang Pu's body, which was surging with fighting intent, shouted awe-inspiringly.
It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, three powerful spiritual tricks attacked Huang Pu one after another.
"Despicable!" Huang Pu said with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.
As for the old side, it has been entangled by ten black-clothed masked powerhouses in the Creation Realm.
After temporarily forcing back a strong man in black, the old man swept his eyes at the people who surrounded him, his eyes half-narrowed.
The monks of the Great Wall of Lishan were all registered by their overseers, and there could be no mistakes.
But now, the ten people who besieged themselves were definitely not from the side of the Great Wall, judging from their means of attack.
Then how did he manage to recruit so many powerful monks in Zhongqiu, and when did he give birth to this rebellious heart!
"Bang!"
Just between the old thoughts, Huang Pu, who had only a half-step Futu Realm cultivator, had already fallen into a situation of being beaten everywhere under the successive attack methods of the four Creation Realm monks.
The spiritual technique practiced by Huang Pu is relatively special, and it is a branch of Xuanwu, one of the four spirits of the demon clan, so he can rely on his own spiritual wall to resist the three spiritual recipes that are not low in rank.
And on the old side, even if he was already a Qi cultivator of the second turn of the Futu Realm, what he had to face was ten Creation Realm cultivators.
If the opponent uses wheel warfare to compare spiritual power with himself, even if he drags it, he can drag himself to death.
What's more, there are three black-clothed powerhouses who have not yet made a move, plus Song Xiaoshan, who is standing on the wall in the middle of the courtyard and waiting for him to reveal his flaws.
For a while, the two of them were really caught in the net of heaven and earth, and it was difficult to fly with their wings.
...
Zhongqiu, as the general of the Great Qin Tiger Division, has the most expensive status, and he doesn't have to be in the barracks to live according to the rules.
However, the old general of Zhongqiu insisted on living with the soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division, so he had the reputation of "loving soldiers like sons" in the huge military camp.
At the same time, Zhongqiu's prestige in the army rose, as if he Zhongqiu should be the general commander of the Great Qin Tiger Division.
Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why General Wu Qi did not directly let Zhongqiu abdicate and make way for Xian.
Among the many military camps stationed at the foot of the Great Wall, there is a white-gilt tent in it, forming a scene like stars and moons.
And this unusual camp is the residence of the great general Zhongqiu.
In the past, even if the camp tent was not heavily guarded, there would be two elite halberds guarding the tent door, but today what makes people suspicious is that there is no half of the soldiers of the Great Qin Tiger Division in front of the camp gate.
There were only two people in the military tent, sitting on the main seat was the old general Zhongqiu with a gray beard and wearing armor, and sitting on the lower seat was not the commander of several large corps of the Great Qin Tiger Division, but a young man with a resolute and silent face.
"Senren, do you know why I specifically called you over today?" said the old general Zhongqiu looked at the young general under his seat and said with a smile.
The young man who was called the sender by Zhongqiu was the one who stopped Ji Ge with Gu Youfang at the head of the city that day, so as to save Sui Youwulai's tiger camp commander and one of the "Four Teeth of Great Qin".
Tao Jiren, who was sitting precariously, shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Do you dare to ask the general if there is any emergency military situation?"
The old general looked at Tao Jiren, who had the most upright temperament among the four teeth of Great Qin, and denied: "Don't worry, there is nothing important, I just want to talk to you about family life today." ”
"General, please speak, the sender will definitely listen to you. Tao Jiren, who was sitting on his knees, said to Zhongqiu on the main seat.
"There are no outsiders here, so I can say anything I have to say. Zhongqiu stroked his gray beard and said, "In fact, among their so-called Great Qin Four Teeth, the old man is most optimistic about you Taojiren." ”
Speaking of this, Zhongqiu didn't say any more, but looked at Tao Jiren with a calm expression, smiling.
"I thanked the general for his love. Hearing this, Tao Jiren stood up, bowed to Zhongqiu, and said in a deep voice.
"Sit down, I have a very good relationship with your father, if he hadn't blocked that halberd for me back then, maybe it would be your father who is sitting in this position now. Zhongqiu's eyes were deep and leisurely and he said: "And you are the one I led into the army, and I also grew up watching, I believe that even your father will be very pleased when he sees you today." ”
After hearing the general talk about his father who died on the battlefield, Tao Jiren's expression was slightly strange, but he quickly hid it.
"Sui Youwu's heart is already a little flawed, I haven't mentioned this to him before, I hope he can make up for his good state of mind, but that day in the city was torn apart by Chen Ge, although now his injuries have recovered, but if he is asked to take over the burden of the Great Qin Tiger Master in the future..."
Zhongqiu sighed and said conclusively, "He can't pick it up." ”
Tao Jiren was silent when he heard this, but just listened quietly.
"As for the ancient way. Zhongqiu glanced at Tao Jiren without a trace, "Among the three, you are the most familiar with him, and you also know each other's temperament, so I won't say more about some things here." ”
"The sender understands. Tao Jiren nodded slightly and said softly.
Among the four of them, Gu Youfang, who was in charge of the Drift Shark Battalion, had the most out-of-the-box temperament, although he had scheming methods, but Tao Jiren knew that he could control a regiment of troops at most, and he couldn't hold it if he had more.
"In the end, it's the fourth team. At this time, the old general of Zhongqiu squinted his eyes and said with a smile like a rich man who counted a few treasures: "Among the four of you, to be honest, the fourth is the least ambitious, do you believe it or not?"
"The sender trusts the general's vision. Tao Jiren nodded and replied.
"So the fourth army is the fourth army, and he can only be the fourth army. The old general Zhongqiu said with emotion.
Tao Jiren pursed his thin lips when he heard this, he couldn't understand what the old general's last sentence meant.
It wasn't until many years later that he served as the general of the Great Qin Tiger Division, when he stood in front of a tombstone with a pot of sake, and when he saw the words "Tomb of the Four Warriors" carved on the tombstone, he understood the meaning of the words that the old general said to him in that military tent many years ago.
"You have seen the methods of believing in the general in the city that day. Zhongqiu changed his words and said in a deep voice.
"See. Tao Jiren, who was standing behind the old general at that time, saw that incident from beginning to end.
On that day, Wu Qi, the general at the head of the city, took advantage of the incident between Sui Youwu and Ji Ge to ask Zhongqiu to assign the entire black armor Mingrui to Wei Wushu without blood.
"I don't know what you mean, General?" Tao Jirenhu asked.
"As the saying goes. Everything is difficult at the beginning, since the general made such a good start in front of all the soldiers in the city that day..."
Zhongqiu didn't say anything more, he knew that Tao Jiren was a smart person, and he said that he could understand.
Tao Jiren lowered his head when he heard this, pursed his lips lightly, and his expression became a little complicated.
Since the general has a way to get the old general to take the initiative to give up the black armor Mingrui, then he can separate his Tiger Camp, or Sui Youwu's Wangyou Battalion, or Gu Youfang's Wandering Shark Battalion from the Great Qin Tiger Division.
At that time, it doesn't matter if they are a group of people, it's just that the Great Qin Tiger Master is no longer the original Great Qin Tiger Master.
And the old general of Zhongqiu will no longer be a general.
What deterrent power does a tiger without its teeth have?
Without.
"General, what do you want to do?" asked Tao Jiren softly, looking up at the old man in the main seat.
"It's very simple, I just want the Lishan Great Wall to be replaced by a general. The old general Zhongqiu stroked the case in front of him and said slowly.
Hearing this, Tao Jiren's face was full of shock, and there were even more monstrous waves on the heart lake, he didn't expect that the old man in front of him would choose to take the initiative against General Wu Qi, this old man didn't know what this meant.
"General, do you know what you're going to face if this fails?" Tao Jiren asked worriedly, suppressed the surprise in his heart.
"I understand. Zhongqiu said: "It is precisely because I understand the power of this that I am so cautious. ”
"What about the reason?" Tao Jiren asked: "To depose the general, we must give a reason to the major wealthy clans, otherwise the major wealthy clans, especially the human race, will not give up." ”
"It's simple. ”
Zhongqiu looked at Tao Jiren under the fence with a relieved expression, and he really didn't pick the wrong person.
"Wu Qi's Overseer was a sharp blade that we stabbed at him, and it was already in his chest at this point. ”
"What happened to the Overseer?" the Taojiren, who immediately understood when he heard this, exclaimed in surprise.
The old general of Zhongqiu nodded quietly, "The news I just got, Xiaoshan has already done it." ”
Tao Jiren narrowed his eyes, and at this time he was already shocked beyond measure.
He never expected that the old general's hand would reach out to the Overseer without realizing it, and it was Song Xiaoshan, one of the two deputy commanders, who was attracted to him.
"As long as the old man dies, Wu Qi will be isolated and helpless on the Great Wall of Lishan, and then we can force the palace to force him to abdicate. The old general Zhongqiu stood up abruptly and said with a happy face.
Tao Jiren also stood up, he knelt on one knee in front of Zhongqiu, bowed his head and said, "I don't know what the last general should do?"
The reason why Tao Jiren acted like this was because he had already understood that the reason why the general called him here today was to let him choose between himself and the general Wu Qi.
Now that the Great General has revealed his plans to him, it means that he is now forcing himself to stand in the same boat as him.
If he is still pretending to be stupid at this time, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of this military tent again.
Because sometimes you don't make a choice, it means you have a choice.
"Good. Zhongqiu looked at Tao Jiren, who was kneeling on one knee, and said with a smile.
"Although Song Xiaoshan has already made a thorough deployment over there, just in case, you should rush over with your Tiger Camp now. ”
"Remember, no one is allowed to enter the Overseer, but of course anyone can be allowed to leave the Overseer. ”
"The end will understand!" Tao Jiren focused on the first point.
"Alright, you go down first. Zhongqiu commanded, "Remember, this matter is not to be mentioned to anyone until it is completed." ”
"I know what to do. Tao Jiren stood up, his body was as tall as a pine, and he was right.
Then he turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the tent.
The Taoji, who had stepped out of the tent, paused and looked in the direction of the Overseer's building, and muttered, "Is this about to change the sky?"
In the General's Palace.
"General, Guo Chuan, the rank officer on duty in the teleportation circle today, asked to see you, saying that he has something important to tell you. There was a slight sound from outside the study.
Wu Qi, who was flipping through the military reading book in the room, gently turned the page again and said softly, "Let him come in." ”
Soon there was a noise outside the door, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and a man in armor walked into the study and kowtowed to Wu Qi on one knee, "The last general Guo Chuan meets the general." ”
"Get up and speak. Wu Qi glanced at him, put down the military book in his hand, and said lightly.
After seeing Guo Chuan stand up, Wu Qi asked, "Do you have anything important to tell you?"
"Returning to the general, it is the news about the commander of the minister returning to the city. Guo Chuan replied truthfully.
When Ji Ge and Zeng Niu returned to the Great Wall together, they asked Guo Chuan, who was on duty, to go to the General's Mansion to inform the general.
Therefore, Guo Chuan, who didn't dare to slack off, rushed to the general's mansion "non-stop" after seeing Ji Ge go away.
"Chen Ge is back?!" Wu Qi asked with confirmation when he heard this.
"Yes, the Admiral saw it with his own eyes. Guo Chuan nodded.
He was finally willing to come back. Wu Qi slapped the table and said angrily.
At the beginning, he returned to the town of Jibing without a sound, and there was no news coming back, and it was not that he had not sent someone to inquire about him, but the people sent were all stopped by Ning Ce's seniors.
Even if he wanted to know the whereabouts of his Ji Ge, he didn't dare to ask Ning Ce's seniors, so he, the general, could only wait for his appearance every day.
So after he heard the news of Ji Ge's return to the city, he was a little out of shape.
"Where is he now?" Wu Qi coughed lightly and continued.
"Back to the general, the commander of the minister took a man who gathered troops to supervise the army. Guo Chuan hesitated for a long time, but still said the last slightly inappropriate sentence, "The commander said that you had better go to oversee the army to take a look." ”
"Huh?" Wu Qi sighed lightly, his face a little unnatural.
Hearing this, Guo Chuan hurriedly knelt on his knees and explained: "The commander of the minister is so degraded in this way. ”
"Got it, it's none of your business here, you can just go to the teleportation circle now. Wu Qi said to him.
"Retire from your post. ”
Guo Chuan held back his trembling body and slowly withdrew from the study.
By the time he stood at the door of the study, the lining was already soaked with cold sweat.
"The general deserves to be a general. Guo Chuan wiped the beads of sweat on his head.
Although the general didn't say anything when he was in the room just now, even the coercion revealed in a few words had already frightened him, an officer.
"I'd better go back to the city honestly. Guo Chuan muttered in a low voice and hurriedly left the General's Mansion.
"Ji Ge. What are you going to do?" Wu Qi, who was sitting in the study, couldn't calm down anymore after hearing Guo Chuan's performance, he closed the yellowed military book that was regarded as "the great way to reason" by the military monks, and slowly stood up.
He didn't know how Ji Ge could have been connected to the Overseer, and what the identity of the man he had brought from the town of the army was.
"It's really worry-free. Wu Qi looked out the window, sighed and said helplessly.
"Your Excellency. Seeing Wu Qi walk out of the room, the guard who had been waiting outside the door arched his hand and said.
Wu asxs. nodded, suddenly as if he had thought of something, and asked on a whim, "Is there anything unusual about the Overseer's side recently?"
The guard pondered for a moment and then replied softly, "Lord Hui, there are still strange things to say. ”
"Tell me about it. Wu Qi frowned slightly when he heard this. Said.
"I heard the brother below say that today was supposed to be led by Huang Pu to lead Tianluo to inspect the major military camps, but he was recalled by Commander Chen on the way, and I heard that today it was Deputy Commander Song who was on duty in the office. ”
Speaking of which, Wu Qi has already understood.
It's really different from the old rules.
And this abnormality, coupled with Guo Chuan's report just now that Ji Ge had rushed to the overseer, was enough to attract Wu Qi's attention.
"Take all the elites of the General's Mansion and go to supervise the army!" Wu Qi looked grim and commanded with a flick of his sleeves.
"Subordinates obey!"
