Chapter 585: Chips

The battle in the mountains lasted for two hours. Two hours later, although some remnants of Jinxiao were defeated and fled in the forest, it was no longer possible to form a new counterattack force. The danger in Meicheng was successfully resolved, and Wan Peng's biggest gain was to capture the commander of the Jinxiao army alive.

Bringing Duan Xuehai back to Meicheng, Wan Peng searched his whole body. And when he took off his ring and storage bag and explored the contents, Wan Peng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

These are completely two treasure chests! Especially in the Na Ring, there is also a general seal of the Jinxiao Army.

If that's the case, he should be Duan Xuehai, Duan Qing's eldest son!

For a while, Wan Peng was also a little blindsided. Duan Xuehai would actually go out in person to fight a city?

How did he know that he had turned the tide of the war here, and the former Hou Ruoting had become a thorn in the side of the Jinxiao army. Duan Xuehai personally set out to fight, originally to fight the momentum, who knew that his skills were not as good as others, but he was captured by Wan Peng.

With doubts, Wan Peng continued to search Duan Xuehai's belongings. Sure enough, in his storage bag, he found a jade pendant with the word Xuehai on it, and three other jade slip secret letters sent by his father, which were also called "My son Xuehai" at the beginning.

Wan Peng couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, capturing Duan Xuehai was actually equivalent to getting a capital to negotiate with Jinxiao!

was still thinking about how to contact Duan Qing, the ruling president of Jinxiao, but now, he has a bargaining chip.

Duan Qing's main purpose for Duan Xuehai to come here was to accumulate political capital. It can be seen that Duan Qing attaches great importance to Duan Xuehai. And if he knew that Duan Xuehai was captured, he would definitely be anxious.

But in this way, Wan Peng's action will have to be faster to be effective. If the time drags on for a long time, Duan Qing is in a hurry, and increases the number of troops to Xuan Xiao on a large scale, and at the same time increases the number of masters, Xuan Xiao still can't stand it. He had to take the initiative and negotiate terms with Duan Qing to ensure that Xuan Xiao was not threatened.

It's just that Xuan Xiao is alone now after all. What if Duan Qing verbally agreed for a while, and then turned back and took revenge? This has also become a problem that Wan Peng is worried about.

Liyang also has such concerns. Duan Qing had already obtained the Earth God Inheritance, and no one knew what kind of abilities he had. Although Wan Peng has chips in his hands, it is equally easy to put himself in a dilemma.

"I'm going to check with the Beastmaster to see if he understands the god of the earth. Wan Peng sighed, obviously not making up his mind now. Liyang agreed, and at the same time urged Wan Peng, without further ado.

After sealing Duan Xuehai in the fire and thunder space, Wan Peng used the Nine Heavens Pass to arrive at Jiangxiao and make an appointment to meet the Beast King of Jiangzhou.

The appearance of the beastmaster still hasn't changed, but after seeing Wan Peng, he has a look of surprise. He briefly inquired about Wan Peng's recent cultivation, and he was also extremely surprised by the matter of gathering the spiritual sense. Wan Peng did not waste time, and directly explained his intentions, wanting to understand the relevant abilities of the earth god.

Unexpectedly, the Beast King of Jiangzhou also shook his head. "I don't know much about the lineage of other gods. It seems that the inheritance of the beast god has very little understanding of the inheritance of other gods. I just know that there are other deity lineages, and even the exact number and name are not clear. ”

Wan Peng smiled bitterly helplessly. "Thank you then. I'd better go back to Xuanxiao earlier. ”

The Beastmaster nodded, "If there's anything I can do to help, you can just ask." ”

Wan Peng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Actually, if there is anything that needs help, it seems that there is indeed one now. That is, Xuan Xiao is in danger now, and if Jin Xiao attacks on a large scale, he may not be able to resist. I'm wondering, if possible, can you go to Xuanxiao and sit on the front line, if Jinxiao has any changes, you can also help Xuanxiao. ”

The Beastmaster frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "You can actually meet this request." But according to the rules of the lineage I have gotten, the inheritor of the god cannot leave the lineage unless there is a special matter, otherwise it is a violation of the rules of the lineage and may be punished. ”

Wan Peng said, "I also thought about whether there is such a restriction. However, now Jinxiao is an unrighteous army. As an independent Xiao, Xuanxiao should not be bullied and trampled on by Jinxiao, or any Xiao. If you go there, for the sake of Xuanxiao's justice, it should be considered a valid reason. Of course, it's up to you. ”

The Beastmaster took a deep breath, "I know, this is the first time you've asked me to help you. No, it should be said that it is to help Xuanxiao. Although I have concerns, but, as you said, from the perspective of justice, I can help you. But because I went to other Xiaoxiao, I still have to arrange a lot of things here. You go back first, and in a few days, I will go to Xuanxiao. ”

Wan Peng nodded, "I thank the Beastmaster." After you arrive in Xuanxiao, you will first land in the original Lingyun Mountain, and now I have changed it to Lingyun City, and Xie Ting is still there. She will arrange for you to go to the front. ”

The Beastmaster agreed. Wan Peng didn't stay long, and immediately got up and returned to the Xuanxiao Cultivator Realm. And as soon as he returned, another piece of good news came. With the help of Wanpeng's spiritual satellite, Jiang Ping also defeated the Jinxiao army, and achieved a great victory in the other direction.

However, there is another piece of news, which also seems very urgent. Jiang Ping got in touch with the troops led by Liu Jianli of the Sword Sect, which was currently in a difficult situation, and although it could still be supported, it was running out of time.

bumped into Xie Ting, and Wan Peng told her what the beast king was coming. Hou Ruoting has now woken up under the treatment of Xie Fei and Xie Ting's brothers and sisters, but her body is very weak and she can't get up and move. Seeing Wan Pengpeng, Hou Ruoting also burst into tears, crying like she couldn't do it. Wan Peng simply comforted a few words, held back the sourness in his heart, and made it clear that he wanted to go to Jinxiao to solve the current war between the two Xiaoxiao, and then said goodbye directly.

Xie Ting was obviously very worried about Wan Peng. This time, she proposed to go to Jinxiao with Wan Peng. But Wan Peng refused. There are three reasons for this. First, this trip is extremely dangerous, and Xie Ting's safety cannot be guaranteed. Second, Hou Ruoting also needs Xie Ting's treatment. Third, Xie Ting is the person who knows herself best, when she is not there, what she may think when Xuan Xiao has any situation, Xie Ting can basically guess six or seven out of ten, which will be of great help to Xuan Xiao to deal with the enemy.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Wan Peng turned around. At this moment, Xie Ting's tears also burst out of her eyes.

Jinxiao.

Stepping on the land of Jinxiao again, Wan Peng was in a very dignified mood. He is now a person and at the same time not alone. He shoulders the fate of the entire Xuanxiao, so to speak, this trip, what kind of state Xuanxiao will be in in the future, may be decided.

If there is a slight delay, I am afraid that the entire Xuanxiao will become Jinxiao's bag.

This time he was going to Jinyang City. Because of the urgency of time, he didn't have time to fly there, so he directly asked the Fire Thunderbird King to open the fire and thunder space, and fell into the inn where he was originally located.

The hall in the inn is still as crowded as ever. Wan Peng wanted to leave directly and find a way to meet President Duan Qing, but he saw that he was on the side, and today there was another table of officers having dinner, and he was already drunk. The important information last time was learned from these people, and Wan Peng really wanted to know now what the attitude of the military here was during the time when he went back to resist Jinxiao, so he found an empty table close to him and sat down, asked for two dishes, and listened to them slowly.

These sergeants did not leave the Xuanxiao Warriors. It should be that they have been talking for a long time, and now some of the words are clueless. But Wan Peng still sorted out a few pieces of information.

First, Jinxiao's defeat in Xuanxiao has been highly valued by Jinxiao's senior management. As for the reason for the defeat, on the one hand, the Jinxiao high-level wants to find out whether there is a spy leak, and on the other hand, they are also preparing to send elite reconnaissance troops to infiltrate Xuanxiao for reconnaissance.

Second, for the analysis of the battle situation in Xuanxiao, they are chasing after the wind and saying that there is a master who kills a Jindan cultivator with one finger, and how high this master is, some people say that it may threaten President Duan Qing.

Third, Jinxiao's high-level leaders are still relatively cautious about increasing troops to Xuanxiao. Because in the case of unknown reasons, President Duan Qing did not want to take too many risks.

Fourth, in view of the current complicated situation, Duan Qing may let Duan Xuehai withdraw and replace him with a veteran military general with rich combat experience as the commander of the Jinxiao Expeditionary Army, so as to ensure Duan Xuehai's safety on the one hand, and improve command efficiency on the other.

Fifth, the successive defeats of Duan Xuehai's successor have actually affected his political public opinion. Duan Qing's arrangement this time may backfire.

Judging from this information alone, Xuan Xiao does not seem to have reached the moment of extreme crisis. Duan Qing's caution gave Xuan Xiao a chance. Of course, this may have been because he did not yet know that his son had been captured in the middle of the battle. If this news comes back, maybe Duan Qing has other ideas.

If nothing else, the news of Duan Xuehai's capture will not be delivered until two days at the earliest. Because the troops he led were already in chaos at that time, no one would notice Duan Xuehai's whereabouts. In addition, the boss is missing, everyone is afraid of taking responsibility, in Xuanxiao, they will also look for a while, and after confirming that they are missing, they will send a message here.

Wan Peng slowly ate his own food and continued to listen to them. At this moment, a man came from the opposite side of the table, and with a bang, he untied a basket from his back and put it on the ground, as if it were very heavy. After that, a white-haired old man sat opposite him and smiled at Wan Peng, "Little brother, don't come to harm?"

Wan Peng was stunned for a moment, and then there was a reaction in his heart. It's him?
