Chapter 284: Bait

The ancients said that if you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, that is to say, everything happens for a fundamental reason, and if you want a person to do something, there must be something behind this thing that this person particularly wants, and is even willing to do anything for this thing. That's why so many people are used by others and fall into the trap of others.

At dawn the next day, the crusading army marched from the Shaolin Temple, and the mighty crowd crossed the corpses all over the mountains and fields, as well as the blood dried that night, and headed in the direction of the rebels' rout.

The nearest garrison to Shaolin Temple has also arrived in Shaolin, and the large army converges, plus the remaining martial arts people, the people of Fengyue Valley, and the people of Wudang, the number is enough to be 150,000 or 60,000, which is more than the number of rebels at the beginning, even if the rebels are now attacking with the original team, there is nothing to be done, not to mention that the rebels at this time are already at the end of the crossbow, this is an excellent counterattack into victory, no one thought that it would be such an ending.

Between the large troops, there was a huge carriage, spacious enough to accommodate a dozen people, a total of eight horses pulled in front, and I don't know where Zhan Ying got it. And the person in the carriage at this time is the emperor who is preparing to drive the expedition in person, although it is completely unnecessary, but the emperor still insists on doing this, and he is not at ease without seeing the death of the Seven Sages King and the Yanmen King with his own eyes.

At the back of the crowd, three horses slowly moved forward, and there were three people on horseback, two men and one woman, it was Nangong Chu, Long Xinyue, and Ruyi.

Originally, Ruyi was reluctant to follow, claiming that he wanted to stay in Shaolin and wait for the return of Wuxin, who had disappeared for a few days in a row, but later after Nangong Chu's bitter persuasion, Ruyi agreed to follow, because Long Xinyue told her that Wuxin would appear soon, maybe in this crusade army. Long Crescent guessed, but Ruyi believed it.

The large army left the Shaolin Temple in a mighty way, tracking the direction of the rebels' escape, it seemed that the rebels wanted to escape back to Guanwai, because Guanwai was their world. But after today, there will be no place for them in the world, because this morning the emperor has issued an order, ordering the troops in all parts of the court to pay close attention to their own borders, and anyone who finds traces of the rebels does not need to report it, and directly take down the rebels.

This is a tempting enough reward that no one wants to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the silent world suddenly begins to be restless, like ants on a hot pan, and everyone is tracking down the trails of the rebels. The time to put down this rebellion is just around the corner, and it is only a matter of time.

Soon, news came from the front that the traces of the rebels had been discovered, and someone found out that the remnants of the rebels were hiding on Dulong Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the Shaolin Temple. So the army changed direction and advanced towards Dulong Mountain, originally thinking that the rebels would flee back to Guanwai.

In fact, the king of Yanmen did plan to retreat to the outside of the pass with the remnants, but halfway through the journey, he suddenly received a news that the Yanmen Palace, which was thousands of miles away, together with the barracks, was all burned by people, and the fire burned for a day and a night, burning the entire nest of the Yanmen Palace. Therefore, the rebels changed their route on the way and hid on Dulong Mountain.

Dulong Mountain, with cliffs on three sides, and only one side is a steep mountain road, which is a Jedi that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, wild beasts are rampant, and even the nearby hunters dare not go up easily, because the slightest mistake will leave the bones behind. And the rebels chose to hide there in order to resist the crusading army led by the emperor.

Soon, the crusading army arrived at Dulong Mountain, blocked the only way up and down the mountain, prepared to slowly torture the rebels on the mountain, and sent small forces to attack and harass from time to time, so that the enemy was always in a state of high alert, while the crusading army was encamped at the foot of the mountain, and seemed to be ready to watch a good show.

Murong Qianhe had already sent several groups of Jianghu people to investigate the other three cliffs of Dulong Mountain, in order to prevent the enemy from jumping under the wall and risking to escape from those three cliffs.

In the middle of the camp, a huge tent has been set up, which is dedicated to the emperor's rest and command of the overall situation. The people from the rivers and lakes led by Murong Qianhe were stationed around the big tent, forming a horn. The Qilin Army is on the outermost periphery, and the entire army is built like a tietong. The safety of the emperor is the most concerned by everyone, and it is also the most inmissible.

At this time, there were many people gathered in the emperor's tent, including Murong Jue, the commander of the Qilin Army, and the military advisor Wuliang, the lord of Fengyue Valley, Dongfang Jue, the lord of the Wulin League, Murong Qianhe, and the head of Wudang, Aoki, as well as the first Wumei master of the Dharma Academy of Shaolin Temple, as well as the president of the six gates, Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong. The leaders of the various forces are here, discussing the next strategy of extermination.

The emperor left a chance for everyone to give advice, and everyone had different opinions, some proposed to use a delaying tactic to slowly consume the enemy to death, some proposed to take everyone to attack, and some proposed to persuade surrender, but it seemed that they could not reach an agreement.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The Seven Sages King and the King of Yanmen can achieve today's status, not by luck, but by strength, never treat them as ordinary people, the night is long and dreamy, we don't have so much time to waste, in order not to have any mistakes, I agree to immediately attack Dulong Mountain, while their foothold is not stable, otherwise we will pay a more painful price." ”

After listening to the emperor's words, everyone was silent, and they were all carefully thinking about the feasibility of this strong attack, since the emperor had made a choice, no one dared to raise any objections. But everyone didn't know if the emperor really had the bottom in his heart, and felt that a strong attack was the best solution, after all, Dulong Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if a strong attack was carried out, it would inevitably have to kill many people.

No one knows the emperor's inner thoughts at this moment, and everyone can't see what the emperor is looking at now, because in the big tent at this moment, there is also a screen, which separates everyone from the emperor. It seems that since the sudden serious illness in Shaolin Temple, the screen has become the emperor's favorite, as if it has become his mask.

"But in addition to the assault, I also have to throw them a bait, a bait that they will throw themselves into the door and send them to the door. At this moment, the emperor spoke again, and said something that made everyone confused for a while.

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't seem to understand what the bait the emperor was talking about.

"Your Majesty, what kind of bait are you referring to?" Zhan Ying on the side frowned and asked suspiciously, but the struggle between his eyebrows showed that he seemed to have guessed something.

"I. The emperor glanced at everyone through the screen and said slowly.

"Absolutely not!" "No!" "Please think twice!"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the opposition immediately rose one after another, and whoever in the world dared to use the emperor's safety as bait, I am afraid that only the emperor himself. But not everyone can watch the emperor make such a decision, this is too risky, and the slightest mistake will lose everything.

"Do you have a better way to get them down the mountain? The emperor looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, with a hint of undeniable majesty in his tone.

"Even if this is not possible, it is too dangerous, we can't put the emperor in such a dangerous situation, and Shu Weichen can't obey his fate!" Murong Jue, the commander of the Qilin Army on the side, also said at this time, and his attitude was tough, and it seemed that he was the only one who dared to speak to the emperor in this tone.

Hearing Murong Jue's words, the rest of the people couldn't help but echo it, all talking about what serious consequences this matter would bring, hoping to persuade the emperor to stop.

"Do you want to resist the decree!?" the emperor suddenly stood up, and watched the crowd shout, looking angry.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking, as if they could feel the wrath of the dragon through the screen.

"As far as the rebels are concerned, their purpose has always been me, if they knew that I was here alone, with the temperament of the Seven Sages King and the King of Yanmen, they would definitely try to kill me, and they would probably come in person, as long as they were brought here and killed, then the rebels would not be able to attack themselves, and they would not have to really storm the mountain, how many people could be avoided from dying in vain? The emperor took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and spoke again.

"But..."Zhan Ying on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor with a wave of his hand. Of all the people present, it seemed that the worry on his face was the most obvious.

"No, I have already decided, tonight, to carry out a full-scale assault on Dulong Mountain, and by the way, release the news that I was left in the barracks alone, I believe that the two of them will definitely come to kill me personally. The emperor said in a cold voice, and had already given the final order.

Everyone didn't dare to have any objections, but they couldn't help but start to become a little depressed, worried that something should not happen, if the other party really dared to come, it must be all they have, desperate, if the emperor made any mistakes because of this, then everyone here today will become sinners, not only the world will not forgive them, even they themselves will not forgive themselves.

In the end, under the persuasion of everyone, the emperor finally agreed to leave Dongfang Jue, Zhan Ying, and Murong Qianhe, the people with the highest martial arts, to protect the emperor. The rest of the people were led by Murong Jue and Tie Xiong, Dongfang Qi, and Dongfang Bai to launch a general attack at midnight with the Qilin Army and Jianghu people respectively.

The final battle is finally about to begin, and the world will change tomorrow when the sun rises. An invisible giant net is waiting for its prey to creep in......
