Chapter 344: Another Kind of Battlefield
"What happened to the White Horse Cave in the end?" Qin Ruhui asked.
After the Chongyang fruit ripened, he fled away. I escaped on the Boundary Breaker, and I'm afraid that the White Horse Cave has already been destroyed by now. Chen Hao said.
When harvesting Chongyang fruit in Baiju Cave, Chen Hao saw ripe Chongyang fruit.
This fruit, which takes 3,000 years to mature, looks like a miniature version of a piglet. When ripe, it can also hang on the branches for three days, but then it will fall off on its own.
Once dropped, it will run around like a living thing. At that time, Chen Hao organized all the available manpower in Pingyuan City, so that he didn't let a single Chongyang Fruit escape.
Qin Ruhui was silent for a while, not knowing if he was mourning for Baiju Cave. Then he asked, "I have read the report you wrote last time, and the Pingyuan City and the Watchman City you mentioned above, as well as the affairs of Cao Richeng and his descendants, are all true?"
"It's true. These things, these people from Baiju Cave to Taihao Tian, can testify. Chen Hao said.
However, in the report, Chen Hao did not mention Cao Cheng's final plan. When he was in the White Horse Cave, he didn't mention this matter to Wang Meng and the others.
It's not that Chen Hao has long been preparing to swallow the White Horse Cave privately, his cultivation has not yet reached the level of an unpredictable prophet. However, when he was writing the report at that time, due to the urgency of time, he could not write everything in detail, and could only pick up some records of what he thought was important at that time.
Cao Cheng's plan had already been ignored when Chen Hao decided to go back to Baiju Cave no matter what. Since he had decided to go back, he didn't intend to let Cao Cheng complete his plan.
In his report, he only briefly introduced the situation in Hakukoma Cave, and there were two forces: Overwatch Valley and Plains City. It also mentions the origins of Plains City and Overwatch City, as well as their different attitudes towards the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
At the end of the report, he wrote his plan, which was to use Overwatch Valley as a base to counterattack Plains Castle after returning home, and finally achieve the goal of controlling Hakukoma Cave.
The purpose of his report was just to allow the Heavenly Dao Alliance to retain the teleportation array.
Because on the eve of leaving, Chen Hao decided to return to the White Pony Cave. Considering that after returning to Taihaotian, he tried not to delay as much as possible, so he deliberately wrote such a report, so as not to waste too much time on an inquiry like today.
Of course, it turned out that Chen Hao was still too optimistic about the bureaucratic system of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Not to mention a report, even if he stayed behind to make an explanation at that time, it may not be able to stop the decision that has been made above!
"We'll get evidence from them. Now that I believe that your report is true for the time being, then please tell me, since there are still so many people in the White Horse Cave, why don't they harvest the Chongyang Fruit?" Qin Ruhui grabbed the things mentioned in Chen Hao's report and asked keenly.
"The two forces in the White Horse Cave, only the city lord of Shouwang City, that is, the descendants of the Han family, knew about the Chongyang Fruit, and he did not announce it to the people. And the city lord of Pingyuan City is a descendant of Cao Richeng. Cao Richeng was just a low-level animal tamer back then, and it was impossible for him to come into contact with the news about Chongyang Fruit. Chen Hao said calmly.
He had already considered these arguments. Even if the compilation is not very satisfactory, most of it is true, and the White Horse Cave has moved, which is equivalent to "death without proof", he is not afraid of the lie being exposed.
After obtaining the library in Pingyuan City, Chen Hao learned from some of the records that Cao Richeng had an incident back then, and it was only after obtaining his current "Emperor's Tooth Hair", that is, the "Beast Spirit Protection" at that time, that he could succeed so smoothly.
With this thing, Cao Richeng is simply an unbeatable Xiaoqiang in the White Horse Cave!
Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh again, Cao Richeng really properly carried the pig's foot template. What adversity, what occasional treasures, what competition for domination of the world...... Although the world was a little smaller that day, he was considered a success.
"Then why don't you spread the news?" Qin Ruhui was not so easy to fool, and the questions he asked became more and more acute.
"At first, I thought I could beat them. If we spread this news, what if they preserve their strength and the whole army will defend the Chongyang Fruit Medicine Field, and when the Chongyang Fruit is ripe, they will use it to blackmail us and the Heavenly Dao Alliance? Chen Hao said.
“...... You're not wrong. Qin Ruhui said helplessly: "Then why didn't you tell it when it was too late in the end? You know, the people in the Watch Valley can be regarded as your subordinates or friends, right? Even if you want to save them, you should avoid the destruction of the White Horse Cave." ”
"At that time, we had already suffered a crushing defeat and were annihilated by the Cao family. None of my subordinates and friends survived...... Even so, I told the Cao family about the Chongyang Fruit at the last moment, but at this time they didn't want to believe it, thinking that it was my conspiracy, and wanted to trick them into retreating and collecting the fruits that were useless to them. Chen Hao's face became sad.
I almost stopped asking!
It's not that he didn't reveal the secret of Chongyang Fruit in the end, but that Qin Ruhui mentioned his subordinates and friends.
What a miscalculation! I had known that I would have brought Shi San or a few others back with me. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why he didn't take a few people with him to escape knowing that the destruction of the White Horse Cave was imminent?
Chen Hao was calm on the surface, and a cold sweat secretly broke out on his back. It's not easy to make up a "total annihilation", probably can you fool the past, right?
"The whole army was wiped out?, didn't anyone survive except you?" Sure enough, Qin Ruhui can be a first-class patrol envoy, and his mental agility is far from being comparable to ordinary people!
Almost every sentence he said was asked the most unsatisfactory question made up by Chen Hao!
Chen Hao's brain was about to be racked, and at this time, he couldn't regret not bringing a few people as a cover-up, and he couldn't hesitate to speak at the same time, so as not to reveal the flaws: "Because the last remaining brothers at that time helped me break off." I rushed to the field of Chongyang fruit and tried my best to pick it, but in the end I still couldn't help it. ”
"You mean, you picked the Chongyang Fruit and came back?" Qin Ruhui perked up, and his attention immediately shifted from how to grasp Chen Hao's loophole to the Chongyang Fruit itself.
Chen Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This Qin Ruhui is not so easy to fool, Chen Hao had to throw the big bait of Chongyang Fruit in advance. Originally, Chen Hao also planned to hide the fact that he had Chongyang Fruit, and then throw it out when he got out of the shackles in front of him, maybe he could catch bigger fish.
But Qin Ruhan was pressing step by step, and Chen Hao had no way to retreat, so he could only use this big move in advance!
The verbal confrontation with him really tired Chen Hao, and it was not easier than a fight.
But fortunately, it seems that this bait is indeed very effective. Qin Ruhui's attention now has all been focused on the "Chongyang Fruit". Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was intentional, but in short, he no longer pursued the loopholes in Chen Hao's words.
