Chapter 120: The Past Is Known Today (Second Update, Ask for Subscription!)
Jushou, who is thousands of miles away, has experienced the battle of the Fallen Immortals that shocked the world a few months ago, and Jushou City seems to be a little less colorful.
Whether it is the battle for the gold list, or the more magnificent and tragic battle of the Fallen Immortals, it seems that the luck of Jushou City has been exhausted in the past few years, and people seem to be more willing to talk about the events of a few months ago, the battle that won the attention of the world twice, and the existence of that graceful appearance.
However, the ordinary life after the battle of the fallen immortals made everyone lose interest, although Gu Cangsheng and Wang Xian wanted to suppress the Junshang rivers and lakes and preached, but everyone felt that this rivers and lakes seemed to have lost a character that should have been rich and colorful, which overshadowed this rivers and lakes.
That's the only person who got the immortal number in the martial arts!
How can this river and lake be without him?
On this day, a fast horse broke the tranquility of the imperial city.
"The latest news of Qianji Building, Lei Immortal Su Heng appeared in the Western Regions, and everywhere he passed, there were thousands of corpses!"
"The latest news of Qianjilou......"
The news quickly spread throughout Jushou City, and everyone seemed to be coming back again. There are even many restaurants that give the same discount today as on the day of the gold list competition, there is only one reason, Lei Xian has reappeared in the world, and the world congratulates him!
The rivers and lakes of Chujiang were boiling again, and everyone knew that the battle of the Fallen Immortals that day had killed dozens of zodiac powerhouses, and even a phantom bird died under the self-explosion of the Thunder Immortal Su Heng, which was extremely tragic.
Everyone thought that Lei Xian was dead, and died under the siege of many zodiac powerhouses, although everyone was calling for Lei Xian, but they knew in their hearts that Lei Xian Su Heng would not appear again, and this river and lake also lacked such an existence that could overwhelm the same generation.
Who would have thought that the person who could only live in the hearts of everyone would come back to life, which is a great miracle!
Jushou City seemed to be a holiday again, and everyone rushed to tell each other, discussing the battle for the gold list again, as well as the battle of the fallen immortals, which was originally a little gloomy.
Of course, the center of all the conversation and discussion fell on that Thunder Immortal Su Heng.
"I didn't expect Su Heng to go to the Western Regions and get some kind of corpse. ”
"Wouldn't it be too murderous? This kind of Lei Xian will become a big devil. ”
"You see that Su Heng has killed a person indiscriminately in Jushou, and the people he killed are all people who want to attack her. Besides, the place in the Western Regions is full of demons, and even if there are still people, it has already muddled the bloodline, and it is not a pure human race. ”
......
Most people are towards Su Heng, so when it comes to discussion, very few people will have disputes.
Taishifu,
When the emperor's edict was conveyed a few months ago, the Taishi's Mansion was deserted, and all the ministers knew that the Taishi was about to leave the court, and a new power structure was about to be rebuilt.
At this time, Cai Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was still in the Taishi's study, waiting for the Taishi's order.
"It's coming. Taishi seems to have aged a lot, and his body is slightly rickety, as if his backbone has been removed all of a sudden.
"Taishi. Cai Ling hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Have you heard the news?" the master sat on the chair of the master and fell into deep thought.
Cai Ling paused slightly, and then spoke, "Yes, the news spread all over Jushou early this morning. ”
"So all our preparations for Jushou are in vain......," Taishi said gloomily, "and our last hope will fall on Jun Shang." ”
Cai Ling lowered her head and slowly told about what happened half a year ago......
————————————
Half a year ago,
Xuanming City, located at the junction of Chu and Junshang, is an ancient city located in Annan Province, only 30 miles away from the border of Beiji Road.
It has been 800 years since the establishment of this ancient city of Biansai, and the war did not destroy the city, but made Xuanming, as its name suggests, the brightest pearl between the two dynasties.
Xuanming City is full of all kinds of people, most of them are border merchants of the two dynasties, they sell what the two countries lack from each other, and earn the difference in the middle. But the real wealth can be obtained from it is rare, those most precious resources are always in the hands of a few, and only rely on the transportation of goods to earn the difference, are small roles, can not be on the table.
Xuanming City is mixed, in addition to the two major dynasties, there are even occasional ghosts, snakes and gods from the Western Regions. Outside the Western Regions, a place abandoned by the Terrans, where demons and monsters are rampant, it is difficult for the Terrans to survive in it.
But I heard some veterans who participated in the Western Expedition War say that there are also Terran countries in the Western Regions outside the Huawai, but they are too small to even compare with a state of the dynasty, and the people there are no different from monsters.
It was very difficult for these people, ghosts, snakes, and gods from the Western Regions to enter Xuanming City, first they had to cross the long border of the Western Regions, and then they had to cross 70,000 li to reach the hinterland of the two great dynasties. On the way, it is very likely that they will be surrounded by the army, and the light ones will be completely destroyed, and the heavy ones will be directly chopped into meat puree. In the eyes of the Middle-earth people, none of these individualized people are good.
Today, as usual, the city gate was opened at dawn, and dozens of caravans gathered outside the city to prepare to enter the city, while hundreds of people were already blocking the city gate inside the city and began their day's work. The caravans' carriages were not allowed to enter the city, so the goods that wanted to enter the city had to be moved by manpower, and these hundreds of people were the guys who were responsible for carrying the goods.
As noisy as ever, but orderly. Dozens of soldiers in iron armor held cold, sharp spears, staring at the gates of the city, and in the event of chaos, their spears would be pierced mercilessly.
Order, only blood can defend!
The bosses of the caravan each led a few men into the city, and they were to count the goods so that they could book the quantity of the next caravan.
Peng Yu was the small boss of a caravan in Lichu, and today he was the first to enter the city as usual. Now the season has just arrived in the beginning of winter, which is the beginning of the winter of the year, especially in Junshang, this winter is earlier than the south from Chu, and the weather is colder. Peng Yu was wrapped in layer after layer of plush coat, Rao was like this, taking a breath still felt like sucking into a knife.
He led the three men into an inn and went straight upstairs. He was a regular visitor to the inn, and at this time of year, a reserved room was vacated for him to move in.
Pushing open the door, there were two more people in the room, but Peng Yu didn't seem to be surprised, he took off his coat wrapped in the outermost layer as if he didn't see it, and the fire was already lit in the room, so it was not as cold as outside.
The door was closed by the men he had brought, and no one spoke first, and a mysterious atmosphere was brewing.
Peng Yu didn't seem to be able to stand such depression, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only sit on the side stupidly, watching the dancing flames climb on the coals.
"The front line of Junshang must be dispersed, otherwise the conflict is only limited to the front line three hundred miles deep, and the number is only three thousand, such a scale will only be a border friction, and it will be useless!" One of the men brought by Peng Yu was the first to speak to break the deadlock. Although he was wearing a man's clothes, his words were appalling at this time.
Peng Yu shrank his head in fright, wishing he hadn't heard what he had just said.
"Only 35,000 people can be mobilized around Xuanming City for 800 miles, and the mobilization time is at most half a day, whether those 3,000 people can rush in depends on the will of heaven. If discovered, I can only annihilate it. A man wearing a jade Buddha pendant among the two people on the other side spoke, his appearance was very much like a pampered and well-pampered wealthy businessman, wearing a sable velvet, graceful and luxurious, "In addition to the garrisons in various places on the Junshang border, there are also Iron Feather Guards who are directly controlled by Chaoge, each of these Iron Feather Guards is a top scout, and they are proficient in all kinds of military combat methods, if those three thousand people can escape the detection of Iron Feather Guard, this matter can be half successful." ”
"Don't worry about the Iron Feather Guard, although it is strong, but after all, there are not many of them, and during the time of the operation, I will also be dispatched from Chu Youniao to ensure that I can stop the Iron Feather Guard. You only need to mobilize the soldiers of the eight hundred miles around Xuanming City for half a day, and great things can be expected!" Cai Ling, who was pretending to be a buddy, said with a smile.
"Since I have Lord Cai's words, then I am relieved. General Wanyan's eyes suddenly looked like a hungry wolf, flickering with a ghostly light. Naturally, he knew the name of the phantom bird, the scout team that was better than the Iron Feather Guard, each of them came and went without a trace like a ghost, not only spying on the border between the two Koreas, but also some of them would carry out assassination missions, which was a chilling existence.
He himself was assassinated by a phantom bird, although he was lucky not to die, but only three inches from the mouth of the heart left a scar that can never be erased, what makes him most angry is that the assassination bird has not been caught so far, which has become an eternal pain in his heart.
Cai Ling laughed, as if she hadn't noticed the change in General Wanyan's expression, "As long as this matter is completed, General Wanyan will be a hero who protects the country at that time, and the merit will be in the future!"
"Then I still have to thank Lord Cai for sending the 3,000 people, without these 3,000 people, where did my work come from?" Both parties have secrets in their hearts, but they both tacitly know that this conversation is very confidential, and both sides have reservations.
"General Wanyan, please rest assured, this matter is just a private matter of my Imperial Master, and I will never cause trouble to the general, if it is really troublesome, General Wanyan can be strangled at his discretion at that time......" Cai Ling hugged his fists at General Wanyan, and then left the room, and General Wanyan also left after half a pillar of incense.
Only Peng Yu and two other guys were left in the room.
"Two military masters, today there is a beautiful snake girl from the Western Regions outside Xuanming City, why don't you let the little one take the military master to have a look?" Peng Yu looked at the two guys dressed up, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He had just heard something that he should not have heard, and it was very likely that these people were going to kill people and kill them! He now regretted why he had tied up his life for three thousand taels of silver.
"Lord Cai has an order, as long as Boss Peng is under our surveillance at all times within a year, he will save Boss Peng's net worth and life at that time. The two guys glanced at Peng Yu, and then closed their eyes.
......
"General, why didn't you leave that dog officer who left Chu just now? That's also a credit. After Yan Jiang returned to the mansion, the entourage beside him spoke.
"That Cai Ling is just a dog running away, it's useless for me to catch him or not. Wan Yanjiang's eyes flashed, "But I must accept the military merits of those 3,000 people......
"General, I'm afraid there is something wrong here, if Taishi Chu wants to exclude dissidents, it's a big deal to send it directly to us, why do you have to go to such great lengths to break through the front line for three hundred miles? Although the battle exploits will be different, when the time comes, Chaoge will definitely treat us for a charge of negligence in managing the army, and it is very likely that it will be thankless at that time. ”
Wan Yanjiang touched the Jade Buddha, "Maybe it's just to leave Chu just to prevent any of the three thousand people from escaping...... But you're right......"
The entourage wanted to say something, but Wan Yanjiang motioned for him to step back, "You don't need to say it, I have my own plans for this matter." ”
That night, two secret letters were sent to Chaoge one after the other.
"Hmph, then Yan Jiang is not stupid, give him four words back, and he will calculate!"
"No matter what movement there is on the Chu side, we will wait and see what happens...... Pass on my order, the quicksand army is on standby! This time, I have to tear off a piece of meat from Chu's rabbit cub. ”
An hour later, a secret order came from the military headquarters of Chaoge, and it was sent to the station of the Quicksand Legion in the hinterland of Annam Province for 800 miles.
And Cai Ling, who was still rushing back to Jushou, would never have thought that his so-called private affairs had stirred up the most terrifying war vortex in the world!
