Chapter 1042: Urgent Letter
The panicked jujube red horse galloped for no time, frightening the pedestrians on the street to change their faces suddenly, and they all gave way to the gate, and the rider on his back rolled over, and the jujube red horse did not slow down, ran until he reached the street entrance, chose a direction in a daze, and disappeared.
The knight got up from the ground, didn't care about slapping the dust on his body and wiping his sweat, rushed to the door in a few steps, and said eagerly, "Quick, I want to see the dragon king." ”
There were more than a dozen guards in the Protector's Mansion, and things happened too fast before, and they didn't have time to react, when Hula came up, and the captain pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and asked sharply, "Who are you?"
"Iron Mountain, I am the old man of Iron Mountain, and the Dragon King knows who I am. ”
The captain winked, ordered one of the guards to go in to report, and then said, "You have come at a bad time, the dragon king will not be out until evening, you wait, find a place to drink or something." ”
The knight Lao Ye looked up at the sky, just after noon, at least two hours before the evening, "Can't wait, the matter is urgent, as soon as it gets dark, everything will be late." ”
The captain was unmoved, he received an order that any stranger must be strictly forbidden to enter the Protector's Mansion today, so he shook his head, "No, no matter how urgent the matter is, you can't disturb the Dragon King, tonight the Dragon King is going to compete with the Dubu King, can your matter be more urgent than this?"
Lao Ye was so anxious that he turned around, and the guards who had gone in to report before came out and whispered a few words to the captain, and the captain said: "It's impossible to see the Dragon King, the military advisor is just free, have something to say to him." ”
"Strategist?" Lao Ye was shocked when he heard this, "Which strategist?"
"Which military advisor? Fang Wen is Mr. Fang, and the Dragon King is this one military advisor. ”
Lao Ye let out a sigh, "Okay, take me to see him." ”
Fang Wen is ten guards stood in front of him and behind him, Lao Ye had to lean to see the military division, he didn't kneel, and asked loudly: "Are you the dragon king's shaking head military division?"
The nickname of the Shake Head Military Division is quite loud, and the old Ye of Tieshan has actually heard of it.
Fang Wen shook his head again and again dissatisfied, "I am the Dragon King's military master, and I don't have the word 'shake my head'. ”
Lao Ye shouted for no reason, "Okay, I believe you, I have something important to tell you, you let the others step down." ”
"Say it. Fang Wen was frightened by that loud shout, and he never wanted to talk to this person alone, "These people are all swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, the people that the Dragon King believes in the most, there is no need to avoid them." ”
Lao Ye obviously didn't think so, sat on the ground, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, "Anyway, this matter is very important, even if it is facing the Dragon King, I will only say it to him alone." ”
Fang Wen hesitated for a long time, and finally signaled the guards to retreat, leaving only Nie Zeng, "This is my waiter, there is nothing to say in front of him, if you still refuse to speak, please leave, and come back to see the Dragon King in the evening." ”
Lao Ye looked at Nie Zeng repeatedly and stood up suddenly, "The monk is going to flee with Tieshan tonight, and it will be too late if he doesn't stop it." ”
"Who is the monk?"
"Like you, you're also a military advisor, bald, with a scar on your mouth......"
"Shi Qingjue?"
"Yes, it's him, we all call him a monk. ”
Fang Wen was greatly surprised, "Shi Qingjue has only been in Tieshan for a few days, and he can make you obedient?"
"Not us. Lao Ye also began to shake his head, "Tieshan is now divided into two groups, one group listens to the monk, and the other group does not listen, but our group is not united, some are loyal to the Dragon King, and some are secretly thrown to Jinpeng Castle, and they can't fight the monk, and the monk completely envelops the Iron Spear King, and all orders are under the banner of the Iron Spear King, and the brothers dare not disobey." ”
The more Fang Wen listened, the more surprised he became, the so-called Iron Spear King was Shangguan Cheng, the son of Luo Ningcha, who was just a five or six-year-old child, and the Dragon King used him to stabilize the heart of the Tieshan Army, and it was only a few days before he became Shi Qingjue's pawn.
"Wait, let me figure out first, Shi Qingjue held the Iron Spear King hostage to order the soldiers, there are so many people in Iron Mountain, will no one resist?"
The monk would speak flattering words, which made everyone's hearts moved, and many people supported him, while others did not dare to resist in person. ”
"Where is he going to flee with Iron Mountain?"
"Grassland, he said that the people of Beiting are fighting each other, the whip of the Central Plains people is too long or something, and the grassland has vacated a large piece of ownerless territory, and the things are thousands of miles, which is enough for the three thousand brothers of Tieshan to be at ease, and they no longer have to stay in the Western Regions to be angry. ”
Fang Wens shook his head, but secretly admired in his heart, this Shi Qingjue really has some insight, "I'm going to leave tonight?"
"Yes, the monk said that tonight the Dragon King and the Dubu King will compete in martial arts, and the whole city will be under martial law, and several armies will guard against each other, which is the best time to leave Biyu City. ””
The matter was indeed urgent enough, Fang Wen stood up, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, "Are you loyal to the Dragon King?"
"Of course, I kowtowed to the Dragon King, and he must remember me. ”
"How did you get out?"
"What do you mean?" Lao Ye looked dazed.
"Shi Qingjue is going to take away Tieshan tonight, so he will definitely block the news and not allow you to enter and exit casually, right?"
"Today it happened to be my turn to lead the team to patrol outside the camp, and my brothers were all my people, so I was able to come to report the news. ”
Fang Wen knew that he had to solve this problem, and suddenly found that it was so difficult to make a decision, and after changing the Dragon King, he would probably have given a series of orders a long time ago, but he had been pacing back and forth.
However, it was precisely because of a series of decisions of the Dragon King that a layman monk inexplicably controlled Iron Mountain.
Fang Wen hurriedly shook off the complaint in his heart and asked, "This Shi Qingjue, how is his martial arts?"
Lao Ye raised his head and thought for a while, "I haven't seen his skills, it should be okay, but it's not much stronger, I heard that he was just an ordinary monk in the Four Noble Truths in the past." ”
Fang Wen snorted and stopped in front of Nie Zeng, "Are you sure?"
Nie Zeng understood the military advisor's intentions, "If it's just him, it's easy to do." ”
"Shi Qingjue's time in the gang is very short, the foundation must be unstable, there shouldn't be too many firm supporters, you first secretly find Han Fen, and say that the Dragon King told her to keep Shangguan Cheng in Biyu City, and then get rid of the monk. ”
Nie Zeng nodded in agreement, "Give me five people." ”
Lao Ye also understood, "As long as the Iron Spear King doesn't scream at that time, this thing is really good, but he can do it quickly." ”
"Your name is Lao Ye?" Fang Wen had to confirm.
"Yes. ”
"Return to Iron Mountain, bring six warriors into the camp, and when the deed is done, the Dragon King will reward you heavily. ”
Lao Ye received the order, Fang Wen whispered to Nie Zeng: "Don't worry about Tie Linglong, she can take care of herself, today is very important, no one knows what will happen after the competition, so I can only rely on you to stabilize Tie Shan, that Shi Qingjue is right, the troops outside the city are guarding each other, and they can't be nosy." ”
Nie Zeng nodded solemnly, on this sensitive night, Tie Linglong was indeed insignificant.
Fang Wen ordered Hu Shining to transfer five warriors to Nie Zeng, and immediately set off with Tieshan Laoye, Nie Zeng's preparation time was extremely short, he did not go back to his room, but ran to another room, pushed open the door, and said: "Tie Linglong went to find Old Man Mu to avenge you, and now his whereabouts are unknown, I will come and tell you." ”
The people in the room didn't squeak, Nie Zeng turned to leave, and began to think carefully about the plan to assassinate Shi Qingjue, the first thing that came to mind was that he couldn't fully trust that old man.
Chu Nanping could only guess who it was by sound, his eyes were still blurry, and he couldn't see the scenery a few feet away, he grabbed the long sword beside him, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and suddenly found that he couldn't do anything, not even out of the bedroom, let alone find a person whose whereabouts were unknown.
Fang Wen was not idle, went to the lobby to see Long Chuanyun and Xu Xiaoyi, first reported the matter of Tieshan, and then discussed the arrangements for the evening together.
There are two possible outcomes of the competition, one is that the Dragon King wins, and at that time, he has to prevent the Jinpeng Fort from being killed, and the other is that the Dragon King loses, and the Dragon King has no explanation for this, but Fang Wenshi feels that he should take precautions, "In case - I mean in case - the Dragon King loses this game, many centrists in Biyu City will immediately fall to Jinpeng Castle, and there may be a lot of trouble." ”
Long Chuanyun agreed with the military advisor's thoughts, "If that's the case, the influence of the Protector Mansion in Biyu City will soon disappear by more than half, and the swordsmen in Nancheng are afraid that they will fight again." ”
So the three of them made several precautionary plans.
Xu Xiaoyi suggested another possibility, "Have you ever thought that the Dragon King would be ...... If only ......"
"If you are killed by the Dubu King. Long Chuanyun finished speaking for him.
"Of course, this can't be. Xu Xiaoyi immediately established his position, "I have never seen the Dragon King so confident, there will definitely be no accidents, I'll just assume it." ”
Fang Wen sighed, "If the Dragon King is really killed, all our plans are useless, Long Chuanyun can control the Great Snow Mountain and a veteran, and Xu Xiaoyi has a group of obedient subordinates......"
"They're not reliable, and if there's no dragon king, there's no money, so they won't take me seriously. Xu Xiaoyi interjected.
Fang Wen nodded, "That's simpler, except for the Dragon King, no one can suppress all the dragon army, Long Chuanyun, Dugu Xian, Prince Shule, Wu Zongheng, Right General Shang Liao, and Prime Minister Zhong Heng each have an army, and no one obeys anyone, and in the end they are either in a corner, or they are wiped out by Jinpeng Castle, and people who do not have an army, such as you and me, can only wait for death." ”
Xu Xiaoyi's face changed, and then he smiled: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, if the Dragon King is not sure, he will not agree to the competition at all." ”
"Then what are you worried about?" Fang Wen clapped his hands, "Wait and see what happens, Jinpeng Castle is about to end." ”
Long Chuanyun has always been the strongest supporter of the Dragon King, so he is not worried that his words will be misunderstood, and said: "I have had less contact with the Dragon King recently, you two meet him every day, do you feel the Dragon King...... A little bit of a change? I have become less concerned about the dragon army, as if all my energy is spent on how to deal with the competition?"
"That's a good thing. Xu Xiaoyi said uncertainly, "This just shows that the Dragon King is fully prepared for tonight's competition." ”
Fang Wen didn't know anything about martial arts, and he didn't understand what Long Chuanyun meant, so he frowned and asked, "Long Chuanyun, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say-" Long Chuanyun himself couldn't be sure, and he pondered for a while before continuing: "The Dead Man's Sutra cultivated by the Dragon King is very evil, and it can always make people full of confidence, I'm worried that the Dragon King's self-confidence is too much?"
Fang Wen looked at Long Chuanyun suspiciously, "Did the red bat tell you something?" ”
Long Chuanyun nodded awkwardly, although he was not a top master, he felt that Shangguan Ru's statement was very reasonable.
