Chapter 5**-for-tat
Duan Qing smiled strangely, "Okay." It is not possible that you are here this time for the purpose of simply opening up the government. ”
Wan Peng's heart also relaxed a lot at this time, "Then, can the president grant me a small request." At present, there are many Chinese military officials in the hall, and I am really under pressure, and many things are difficult to speak. I hope that I can discuss politics alone with the president. ”
Duan Qing obviously didn't expect it, and a hint of different color flashed in his eyes. However, he then smiled slightly, "Such a request is not unprecedented. Then come with me. Officials can step down on their own. With that, he got up and walked back.
Wan Peng glanced at Duan Qing and followed him. Gu Ming, as Wan Peng's servant, was normal with the past, and Duan Qing did not object.
There is a door at the back of the main hall, and after the three of them pass through, there is a corridor. The hallway seems to be long, and there are also several bends, and you can't see the end directly when you turn around. And after Duan Qing took three turns, Wan Peng suddenly stopped and said, "President Duan, since you have already brought us into this formation, why do you have to take us all the way in such vain?"
As soon as Wan Peng's words came out, not only Gu Ming, but even Duan Qing was a little surprised. Gu Ming was surprised, he didn't feel the situation of entering the formation, Wan Peng actually felt it after turning three corners. And Duan Qing was surprised, naturally even his own formation would be seen through by others.
In fact, no one has ever seen through the formations he has set up for others over the years. In his self-created endless corridor array, everyone was, walking and walking, and they had already lost their lives.
Wan Peng is the first time. This recognition alone also made him feel that Wan Peng was not an ordinary person.
In fact, Wan Peng is extremely sensitive to the formation. Every time he entered a new place, if he felt a possible threat, he released and left behind his own consciousness. His spiritual sense is extremely developed and highly refined, and it can be completely undetectable to these people. You must know that although the spiritual consciousness gathering core is similar to the spiritual power of a cultivator, the rarity is so low that it may not come out in tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, when he felt that the filaments of spiritual consciousness left behind when he came in detected the existence of the three of them, he could already be sure that they had actually walked back to their original places. It's just that this formation feels extremely realistic in appearance, and if you want to observe it with your eyes alone, or use ordinary spiritual detection, you won't notice it at all.
On the other hand, he also ventured to contact the Fire Thunderbird King. But since entering this hallway, he has been unable to get in touch with the Fire Thunderbird King through the pendant. This means that he is cut off from the fire and thunder space. So, this corridor is also suspicious.
Duan Qing had a strange smile on his face, "Tell me how you saw through it." ”
Wan Peng shook his head, "I don't need to tell you. It's not something we're going to talk about. I'm here for two things. The first thing I want to ask you is, why did you invade Xuanxiao on a large scale. The second thing is, I want to make a deal with you. ”
Duan Qing nodded, "Okay, it's okay for me to tell you." First, I want to invade Xuanxiao because I want to find what I want. Second, if you want to make a deal with me, it depends on whether your chips are heavy or not. ”
Wan Peng stared at Duan Qing, "What do you want to find from Xuanxiao?"
Duan Qingdao, "A secret slip." Lingyun Secret. Maybe you've heard it, maybe you haven't. ”
Wan Peng's heart trembled, but then he was a little disappointed. Didn't Chu Lingyun design and obtain the Lingyun Secret Slip together with the Jinxiao cultivators at the beginning, and then left? Why did Duan Qing still use troops to attack on a large scale? Either Duan Qing was talking about panic, or Chu Lingyun was not partnering with Jinxiao at that time, but deceived Wan Peng and wanted to delay Wan Peng's time to find him.
Although Wan Peng was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and said calmly, "I'm afraid that President Duan's invasion of Xuanxiao is not just for a Lingyun secret." As far as I know, the Lingyun Secret Jane has been taken away by Chu Lingyun, the former head of the Lingyun Sect, and there are also rumors that he had close contacts with some of Jinxiao's personnel before taking the Jian. If the secret is not in the hands of President Duan now, then it can only be said that Jinxiao has helped others carry the black cauldron. And this kind of news, with the means of President Duan, it is impossible not to know. ”
Duan Qing smiled, "It seems that your observation is indeed very thorough. So you say, what am I marching into Xuanxiao for?"
Wan Peng said, "War." You are for the war. ”
Duan Qingdao, "This is a war, how can I be for war again?"
Wan Peng said, "Because you're going to fight for a bigger war." For Jinxiao, the biggest war was a big battle with Chixiao thousands of years ago. It's just that for various reasons, Chixiao finally won the battle without an absolute advantage. I think that for Jinxiao, there will be a lot of unwillingness in my heart. Especially for the inheritors of the earth gods, this unwillingness may be a little stronger. ”
Duan Qingdao," continued. ”
Wan Peng didn't look at his expression, "Actually, maybe it's not that the inheritor of the earth god is unwilling." Or, it's your unwillingness to ask the heavens. The Heavenly Sword is an ancient artifact, and it will naturally have spirituality, and everything it has experienced should also be remembered by itself. Therefore, when you get the inheritance of the earth god again, you feel the unwillingness of the Heavenly Sword. So, you're planning a big war. Lingyun Secret Jane, for you, may just be an excuse. You are trying to use this excuse to achieve two purposes. ”
Wan Peng glanced at Duan Qing at this time, and saw that there was no rebuttal on his face, so he continued, "The first purpose is to train your troops. The ones you sent to Xuanxiao are actually regular troops, and they are rotated regularly. Jinxiao has not had a big battle for many years, and this kind of cross-sky combat can allow your troops to gain actual combat experience. Once a war breaks out with Chixiao, this will be considered a pre-war exercise. Moreover, Xuan Xiao's strength is weak now, and if you train like this, there will be no big losses, but you can make great progress in tactical tactics. ”
"Second, you're going to get a rear base. After the last war, the passage between Jiuxiao was sealed, and Chixiao held the right to manage the channel, but Jinxiao did not have such authority, which caused Jinxiao's follow-up combat to be passive, which was the main reason for the failure. And if you're in Xuanxiao, no, not in Xuanxiao, and if you're actually in control of Xuanxiao, then, in addition to Jinxiao itself, you also have the resources of the entire Xuanxiao to fight against Chixiao. And in this way, even if the passage is closed again, Chixiao will have to fight on two fronts, and you will have one more chance. ”
Duan Qing laughed at this time, "Since you know, you still want to ask me for verification, but I'm really curious, how can you know so much about the inheritance of the gods." ”
Wan Peng looked at Duan Qing's eyes, "I don't ask you for verification, how can I know if my inference is correct?"
Duan Qingdao said, "Well, you do have something extraordinary. Then you must be unfit to remain in the world. There was a fierce glint in his eyes, but he didn't make any immediate moves, "So, what is the deal you are talking about?"
Wan Peng said, "Recently, your army in Xuanxiao has been defeated and retreated. What's the worst news you've ever thought about?"
The muscles on Duan Qing's cheeks twitched, "Duan Xuehai was captured, or died on the battlefield." ”
Wan Peng nodded, "That's right. If you kill me, then you will never know where Duan Xuehai is being held by me now. Therefore, my deal with you is that you withdraw from Xuanxiao and do not make a single step against Xuanxiao, and I will hand over Duan Xuehai to you. ”
Duan Qing actually sighed lightly, "He was really captured by you." However, his face suddenly became gloomy again, "But, I think you should also know that if for the sake of the great cause, a mere son may not be worth my stop." Besides, I have many sons. ”
Wan Peng shook his head at this time, "You sent him to Xuanxiao to accumulate political capital. To put it bluntly, the reason is that you may have opposition in the political arena, and you must do this for the sake of your son's future. It's okay if you kill me, you kill me and sacrifice your son, then in the same way, I have already arranged that the news that your son was captured alive in the Xuanxiao battle and that you abandoned your son and killed me will spread. When the time comes, between gains and losses, you choose. ”
As soon as Duan Qing heard this, he was really furious, and roared, "You dare!" After saying that, his right hand shook, and a blood-red knife was already in his hand.
Ask the heavenly sword!
On the Wentian Sword, a flame also emerged from the ground, instantly reflecting the entire formation space red. At this time, as the flames turned into threads of fire and spread outward, the corridor also completely changed its original form, becoming rusty and mottled, like hell.
At the same time, a strange aura spread throughout the space. This aura is violent and evil, and the source is the Heavenly Sword.
Gu Ming seemed to sense the danger in this aura, and in a flash, he blocked in front of Wan Peng, so as not to prevent Duan Qing from directly attacking Wan Peng. Although the inheritance of the God of Light is lower than that of the Earth God, if there is a real fight, it is impossible for the two to distinguish between the two within a hundred moves.
And Wan Peng seems to be thinking about something. Because he felt that this breath was somewhat familiar now, as if he had encountered it somewhere.
Duan Qing's eyes widened with anger at this time, and his eyes became blood-red. The blood vessels in his neck and face may have been dilated with anger, forming green tendons, and the mere appearance of them has already reached home. The muscles on his body seemed to have become stronger, and some parts of his clothes had been torn. His voice also changed, becoming hoarse and low, and he said to Gu Ming Wanpeng, "Since you two have sent it to the door, then if you don't want to die today, you have to die!
Wan Peng's half-lowered head suddenly raised at this time, and said as if it was a flash of inspiration, "It turned out to be it!"
