Chapter 156: The conspiracy is exposed
"Less nonsense, look at the tricks!"
The killing intent filled his heart, Xiao Yue changed instantly, and suddenly turned into thousands of sword qi and attacked Boyan.
"Hmph. Do you think you can kill me with this little means?"
Boyan relied on the Aegis defense, but he didn't care about it, and he also jumped into the sky, and ran straight towards Xiao Yue with the sword qi in the sky.
Unexpectedly, when those sword qi were attacking, they turned around one after another, and rushed into the distance one by one, but they fell directly into the Mongolian army formation.
Attacked by the Red Phoenix Army before, they did not form a military formation in time, and in the face of this sword qi falling from the sky, they had no resistance at all, and they were pierced through their heads one after another and fell to the ground.
When Boyan saw this scene, he was furious: "What a vicious person, how can he do such evil deeds?" In a fit of rage, the Olympic Sword in his hand swung violently, and a white light shot out.
"Hmph! On the battlefield, life and death are all based on their own means. You have killed so many of my soldiers, and I have killed your soldier today, but I am just returning my life. ”
Xiao Yue smiled shamefully in her heart, and she was ruthless in her mouth, but she was extremely nervous in her heart, knowing that although this Olympic Holy Sword was an exotic thing, its power was extraordinary, if it was hit, it would be fatal on the spot, Zhan Lu in her hand suddenly lit up, and the invisible sword qi burst out, immediately blocking the brilliance of this attack on her body, and then slashed out suddenly.
"Hmph, you're afraid of you?"
Bo Yan was shocked in his heart, and he also clenched the Olympic holy sword with both hands and slashed it violently.
"Bang!"
One is one of the five famous swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is a symbol of victory in ancient Greek mythology, both of which are the top weapons in their respective fields, and today's confrontation is naturally extremely rare.
Suddenly, a silver glow appeared and shone on the earth, like two suns in the same sky, scorching the earth, and everyone below closed their eyes, and felt as if they were in a fire, and the heat was unstoppable.
It was ice and snow before, but because of this, the whole land seems to have stepped into the time of June fire.
The power of the earth immortals is really terrifying!
When the light dissipated, everyone looked together, only to see the two separated, but they were out of breath.
Xiao Yue pressed Zhan Lu in her hand, glanced at it with low eyebrows, and immediately saw several cracks appearing on the pure black and dull sword body, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and scolded in a low voice: "Good guy, if I hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid that this Zhan Lu would have been ruined by that guy!"
Although Zhan Lu is incomparably sharp, the material of the sword body is not excellent, and if it is hit by a strong impact, it may also be damaged.
"Oh, it seems that you are not invincible. At least, you can't play against me right now. Bo Yan took a closer look at the holy sword in his hand, it was white and flawless, and it was completely integrated, this thing from the West was really incredible, and it made people marvel that even after thousands of years, it was still as strong as ever.
The Aegis is indestructible, and the Olympic Sword is unstoppable.
With these two divine weapons, he thought that he was enough to fight against Xiao Yue.
The corners of his mouth smirked, and Boyan shouted again: "Since this is the case, then accept your life!" The figure flashed suddenly, and he went straight towards Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue frowned for a while, and cursed in a low voice: "You guy, don't you think that you can defeat me with this little ability?" Knowing that Zhan Lu could not match the other party, Xiao Yue immediately changed her previous strategy, and the black light of Zhan Lu flashed in her hand, but her figure was suddenly double, and she turned into two people.
This move is one of Xuanying's nine decisions - the opposition between shadows is always unforgettable.
It's just that Xiao Yue has cultivated the body of an earth immortal today, and the avatar she has turned into is vivid, and there is no difference between it and the body.
"Kill!"
With a light reprimand, the body and the clone stepped out together, but from the left and right sides, they both stabbed towards Boyan.
Bo Yan was secretly surprised in his heart, only to see that the person on the left arrived first, and immediately waved the holy sword in his hand and slashed towards the other party, with a "bang" sound of fire, and sneered in his heart: "Do you think you can hide from me in this way?" was about to use his strength to kill the other party, but saw that the other side had already attacked.
His heart tightened, and the shield in Boyan's hand spun out, just in front of the sharp sword. At this moment, Na Zhan Lu stabbed at the ground, and the strength was like Mount Tai, which suddenly made Bo Yan feel difficult, and the brilliance on the Aegis shield was also much dimmer. Affected by this, Boyana was also difficult to swing, but he caused another person to escape.
"Failed?"
Boyan was stunned for a moment, and when he watched the man flee and glanced sideways at the person next to him, he couldn't help but become angry, and he swung the holy sword and slashed it again.
But in the distance, a sword burst in, and immediately knocked the holy sword away.
Taking this opportunity, the other person also escaped.
Both of them are standing in the distance, with general appearance and general strength, so that others can't figure out who is real and who is fake.
"Which is the essence?"
Boyan was puzzled, but he could only deal with it calmly with the holy sword in his hand.
And in the distance, Xiao Yue scolded lightly: "Kill!" They all spoke in unison, but they came from all directions, making it difficult to figure out the two of them, who was real, who was fake, or whether these two were phantoms!
——————
Anding City, Guan Gong Temple.
Although he was appointed as a temporary commander by Xiao Yue, Wang Gu also knew that this was just an emergency method, and it was debatable whether he would be able to sit firmly in this position after everything was settled after the war.
Walking into the prison, Wang Gu looked at the people inside, and couldn't help but shake his head, sighing at the changes in the world.
Everyone knows that Mongolia is doomed to defeat in this war, and even if there is an accident, at best it is only how much it can escape back.
After all, the difference in strength between the two armies has already doomed the outcome of this victory.
"Huh. What are you doing here, are you here to laugh at me?" Sitting in the cage, Wu Qingyun was a little lost.
He is also the old man of the Red Phoenix Army, but he has followed Xiao Feng's side since the time of Taiyuan, if he retires safely, although he cannot ensure that the descendants will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, but if he spends his life safely, it is okay.
Just, why do you want to do such a thing?
Wang Gu was a little disappointed, and asked in a low voice: "You and I have also been together for many years. Although I don't know very well about you, I also know that with your means, it is absolutely impossible to make so many mistakes. Tell me, why?"
"Why? Is this important?" The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, Wu Qingyun raised his head slightly, and looked Wang Gu up and down, full of disdain.
"For me, it's important!"
Wang Gu frowned and stared at Wu Qingyun.
The person in front of him, the leader he had followed for many years, would become like this today, it was really unimaginable, so he wanted to know why.
Wu Qingyun sneered and complained, "Very good. Then I'll tell you, what exactly is it for!"
"You say!"
Wang Gu stood aside, saying that he would only listen quietly.
"You should know that I was originally a thief in Taiyuan, and I barely survived by stealing chickens and dogs every day. ”
Wu Qingyun was a little dazed, but he was stuck in his own past, and he also remembered the person who changed his life.
If it weren't for that man, maybe he would just be a dry skeleton in the wilderness!
Wang Gu nodded and replied, "I know." ”
Every time the two of them drank together, they would each tell their past, which he already understood.
"But did you know that my martial arts are not actually stolen. Someone taught it, otherwise with my little skill, how could I cultivate to this level?" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, Wu Qingyun lowered his head unconsciously, and said with a wry smile: "I think that I can cultivate to such a realm with just one cheat book I have picked up, I can't think about it." ”
"So that's the case?So, was that person who instructed you?" Wang Gu was a little clear, if this was the case, it was no wonder that Wu Qingshi would make such a move.
After all, Wu Qingshi's only advantage is that he is righteous.
Wu Qingshi shook his head and replied, "Yes and no! After all, the person who instructed me has a great relationship with him, but this request is not what he made. ”
"It's weird!"
Wang Gu thought for a moment, and then asked, "Let me think about it, is the person who instructed you a minister of the Song Dynasty?"
At that time, the only one who had arrived in Taiyuan was the envoy of the Song Dynasty.
It's just that this person, why didn't he make a move when the Sichuan crisis was at the beginning?
"That's right!" Wu Qingshi nodded and replied, "That person's name is Jiang Wanli." used to be excluded by Ding Daquan and others, so he was always idle at home. But today, because there is no one in the court, he was transferred to the court. This matter was also instructed by him. ”
Wang Gu nodded thoughtfully and replied, "So that's the case?" Then he tightened his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "But you tell me, why do you want to do such a thing? With your identity, doing this kind of thing will only ruin your reputation." Isn't it?"
If Xiao Yue hadn't intervened in this matter in time, it would not only have completely delayed the Red Phoenix Army's annihilation of Mongolia, but also allowed the barely formed encirclement to have loopholes, allowing the other party to escape from it.
The amount of materials wasted is even more staggering.
Why would Wu Qingyun do such a thing?
"I know!"
Wu Qingshi had regained his composure at this moment, he looked at Wang Gu quietly, and replied quite calmly: "But that person promised me that as long as I help him complete this matter, he is willing to let my children find an official position in the Song Dynasty!"
"That's it?" Wang Gu was a little incredulous.
Wu Qingshi nodded and replied calmly: "That's right, you also know that my children are not successful, if they are in the Red Phoenix Army, it is impossible to pass the assessment with their ability, so it is impossible to become a bureaucrat." But the Song Dynasty was willing, so I did it!"
"So that's it?"
Wang Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what kind of expression he should have.
There has long been a law in the Chifeng Army, and any official position must pass the assessment of the household department before it can be sent to various places to take up posts, whether it is those who catch fast, serve officials, or soldiers, all of them need to pass the assessment before they can be held, in order to eliminate the phenomenon of local family monopoly that may lead to it, and also to be able to further centralize government power.
At the beginning, there were also many bureaucrats who opposed it, but all of them were forced down by Xiao Feng using the Song Dynasty as a counterexample.
It's just that Xiao Feng didn't expect that for the sake of his children and grandchildren, there would be people who would take risks and do such a thing.
After Wu Qingshi finished speaking, although he regretted it a little, but at this moment he thought about his child, and immediately nodded and replied: "That's right, things are roughly like this!"
"In that case, then I'm more curious, what is your purpose, is it to completely disrupt the lord's plan to annihilate the Mongols, or is it for some other purpose?" Wang Gu asked.
When all the conspiracies were completely exposed, he could no longer imagine what kind of network these people had wove and what their purpose was.
Wu Qingshi shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know! After all, I'm just an outsider, how can I know their purpose?"
Although he has a high status and is the commander of an army, for those high-level people, he is just a chess piece, how can he spy on the purpose of this group of people?
"However, they gave me a thing, and asked me to make sure that Master Xiao could bring it!" Recalling his previous instructions, Wu Qingshi replied calmly.
"Master Xiao?" Hearing the mention of Xiao Yue, Wang Gu looked worried, and asked again, "What is it?"
"A little gem. I hid it within my rank, so that it could be accepted by Chief Xiao. Wu Qingshi had nothing to hide, and immediately told all the secrets, seeing Wang Gu's worried face, he smiled again: "But don't worry, I have checked that gem, it is just an ordinary gemstone, and there is no harm!"
"That's all?" Wang Gu was even more worried.
He didn't believe it, the gem that those guys made Wu Qingshi rather give up his future and hand over to Chief Xiao was just an ordinary gem.
Wu Qingshi shook his head and replied, "I have already told you everything, and I don't know the rest." Then he closed his eyes, and fell into the gloomy state he had been in before.
He doesn't want to know anything about the outside world now.
"Are you telling me this to make up for your previous sins so that you can have a chance to live?"
After a deep glance at Wu Qingshi, Wang Gu left from here.
He knew that if he allowed the other party's conspiracy to continue, he was afraid that Xiao Yue would really have a life crisis, so he immediately called Lei Min and began to call on those in the army who could fight, hoping to break through the Mongolian blockade and smoothly pass the news to Xiao Yue, so that she could prepare in advance.
After all, the Song Dynasty has always been disgusting, and it always makes everyone in the Red Phoenix Army feel extremely disgusting.
The first time they cooperated, they just relied on unbounded support to deceive the Red Phoenix Army's precious firearms smelting methods, and the second time they cooperated, in the name of providing a place to settle down, let the Red Phoenix Army fight with Mongolia, and the third time it directly made something close?
If it weren't for every time, the lord and others would have solved it by various means, I'm afraid they might not be able to hold on until now!
