Chapter 10 Plans can't keep up with changes
(PS: Thanks to [Jump] Knife VS, Remembering the Sword, Non-Fire X, LOBOAY, Fool's Adventure, Xiao Erkai Teahouse, heyes, Nonono's words for the tips and monthly passes.) )
Du Wei's raised hand suddenly stopped, and the moment he saw the appearance of this figure clearly, the expression on his face became extraordinarily exciting.
Because this face, an hour ago, he had seen.
"What does Shen Jiang Du mean by holding the knife? Could it be that Chu has offended Master Du in any way?" the man asked again. The expression on his face was very cold, and the tone of his voice was the same flat. But I don't know if it's an illusion, Du Wei vaguely felt that when he said these words, a smile flashed on the corner of the man's mouth.
And Du Wei also came back to his senses from the initial surprise at this time, and then a sense of guilt arose in his heart that made him feel ashamed.
The war horse under his crotch is a famous beast of the Great Wei, and it was also rewarded by the Holy Emperor for his great achievements in his early years. With the strength of this horse's feet, in Du Wei's mind, he would definitely be able to leave Chu Xifeng far behind. So when he saw that figure, he subconsciously left behind the possibility that this person was Chu Xifeng. That's why he had the series of antics that seemed to be a frightened bird just now.
Of course, this is a very humiliating thing, whether it is a horse rider who can't run with his feet, or a soldier who almost cuts down his own people. Either of these two things reached the ears of his colleagues, and it must have been enough for them to talk for a long time.
Du Wei is a very cautious, but also a very face-loving person.
So he forced a calm smile and pretended as if nothing had just happened. But he unconsciously put away his initial contempt.
Du Wei has been sitting in the position of the Great Wei Divine General for decades, if he is really just arrogant, then he may have died on a battlefield in the Western Regions or the Northern Lands. But he didn't die, he survived, neither the wind and snow in the north nor the yellow sand in the Western Regions buried him. Even in Chang'an City, where the dark tide is surging, he can still mix like a fish in water. All of this is enough to show that he is not the kind of rugged person he seems on the surface.
And this time he was sent to Lan Ling to investigate the slaughter of the town, which was not a good errand. Anyone with a little brain can figure it out that the person who dares to do such a thing under the nose of the Holy Emperor of Great Wei will definitely not be a good person. The thief Cao Guo Sanyun who disappeared earlier and the little marquis of the ancient family are the best proof.
But although he is cautious, he is also the god general of Great Wei, and for the so-called Chu Xifeng, this kind of junior who is younger than him is inevitably a little contemptuous. But at the same time, he is also rational enough, and after seeing Chu Xifeng's strength, the contempt in his heart will naturally be gone.
He put Chu Xifeng in an equal position, which can be seen from the fact that he jumped off the horse and no longer looked down at Chu Xifeng.
Of course, this kind of equality is only an attitude of the two sides when they exchange and dialogue, and it does not mean that they can cooperate sincerely from now on. In other words, it is almost impossible for the two sides to cooperate in a sense.
Because this seems to be a simple investigation, it is actually related to some extremely complex things, such as the future master of the Great Wei, and the rise and fall of the human race after a hundred years.
It is normal for the Holy Emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince at an early age. It is a rule handed down from the previous dynasty, and among the civil and military officials, from the three princes and nine kings, to the county order, there is no objection to this, because in their opinion, this is a normal thing.
But in recent years, the Holy Emperor has gradually grown older, even if he still looks like a middle-aged man, but anyone with a little vision can see that he is getting older and older, even if he tries his best to hide it, but the dimming light on his life star has already betrayed him.
The Holy Emperor is too powerful, and too old. He has been sitting in that position for nearly a hundred years, and the eldest prince has been waiting for the crown prince for nearly fifty years.
In the past 50 years, he can be described as conscientious and respectful. It satisfies the people of the world, and at the same time satisfies the Holy Emperor. But now, the moment he had dreamed of was finally approaching, and he became impatient and impatient. He began to comment on some state affairs, and began to make some different voices with the Holy Emperor, and the most intolerable thing for the Holy Emperor was that he got too close to Prime Minister Sima Xu.
The crown prince and the powerful ministers of the Great Wei walked together, and many of these things became self-evident. How could the Holy Emperor's eyes rub into the sand, so he moved his mind to waste Chang Lixian.
And because of a thought of the Holy Emperor, those who were not close to the crown prince began to look for candidates in their favor. After years of deceit, open and secret fighting, in the end, among all the competitors, there are only two forces left - the crown prince and the five princes.
Unfortunately, today's Chu Xifeng and Du Wei are recommended by these two parties.
Sima Xu of the first line of the crown prince recommended Du Wei, and the eldest princess of the first line of the five princes recommended Chu Xifeng.
This errand was not so much an order to investigate the time when Lanling Town was slaughtered, but rather a bargaining chip for the prince and the five princes to play with each other.
The Holy Emperor's days are numbered, and everything that happens in these few days, no matter how big or small, may become the last straw that overwhelms the balance in his heart.
Du Wei didn't know what Chu Xifeng didn't know what was behind this matter, but he knew it. So no matter how good Chu Xifeng is, it is impossible for him to cooperate with him.
Just as these strange thoughts kept flashing in Du Wei's mind, the figures of the three hundred black-armored soldiers had gradually appeared in their field of vision. The soldiers still came in a hurry, their breath calm, every step, every wave of their hand, even every breath seemed to start at the same time, and end at the same time. Though they were a hundred, they were as one man.
A smile appeared on Du Wei's face, although Chu Xifeng's strength was strong, he had three hundred Great Wei elite tiger army. On the other hand, Chu Xifeng brought Su Chang'an, who was worthy of gathering spirits. Although it is rumored that he was able to defeat the Seven Nine Star Realm on his own a few months ago. But with Du Wei's experience, he naturally won't believe those hearsay things, even if it is his son Du Hongchang who says this.
When I saw him today, he could only condense a star spirit in his body, if the previous rumors were true. Then it can only show that this star king of the General Star Club has not made an inch of progress in his cultivation for half a year, and he was able to have such an amazing performance at the Star Club at the beginning, but he only relied on Mo Tingyu's gift. Originally, he was still a little worried that Su Changan would become his son's martial arts demon, but today, when he saw it, his doubts disappeared. Because he knows better than anyone that an opponent who can't improve, no matter how strong, is not worth being afraid of.
Du Wei deliberately looked behind those black-armored tiger soldiers, and then turned his head to look at Chu Xifeng, with a regretful expression on his face, he said: "It seems that Su Gongzi is gone, isn't he lost on the way here." ”
He is not a person with a small belly, and he is not so bored that he wants to regain his face by belittling Su Changan.
It's just that many years of experience in leading troops on the battlefield have taught him a truth, attacking the heart first, attacking the city first.
He had just fallen to the lower level in a confrontation with Chu Xifeng, and although his body had not been physically injured, his momentum had fallen a little bit. So he needs to win back a city by striking Su Chang'an.
This time he was full of confidence. Su Chang'an's realm he can see clearly, even if he has the inheritance star spirit of Mo Tingyu, but each of these three hundred tiger army has the cultivation of the Fanchen Realm, and has the Great Wei Secret Method, although it seems to be an ordinary walk, but its speed is not much better than that of the ordinary Taiyi Realm monks.
So, he firmly believes that this time, he will not lose.
But a lot of times, a lot of things, he always changes more than you think.
For example, now Du Wei has a clear and intuitive understanding of what it means that the plan cannot catch up with the changes.
As soon as his words fell, a hand suddenly stretched out from the three hundred black-armored tiger ben.
Then among the neat three hundred black-armored tigers, there was a sudden commotion, and it seemed that something had forcibly passed through them. Finally, after dozens of breaths, a head suddenly poked out from between the two adjacent tigers in the front row, and the owner of the head pulled out his body sandwiched between the soldiers with some difficulty, and then he straightened up his shirt, which had become a little wrinkled by it. Finally, he finally stood up straight, smiled at him in Du Wei's surprised eyes, and said, "Thank you Lord Du for your concern, Chang'an is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
