stand back, let me come

Chapter 1338: Wrath of Thunder (Part 1338) [Seeking monthly votes]

"Ms. Lin is full of confidence."

The second person's voice is cold, clean and gentle, with the southern characteristics of Wu Nong soft language, and even when he speaks harshly, people suspect that he is giving in. Just by listening to the voice, the owner is more like a young scholar from a high-ranking official family. How could he be raised in a bandit's den?

"I just wonder if you have guessed that you will never come back?"

"Since I dare to come here, I will definitely be able to go back." Lin Feng's eyes fell towards the thick fog and he asked with a smile, "Marquis Wei said so, right?"

Those who can be addressed as "Marquis So-and-so" by others are either granted a title of nobility in the secular world, or have achieved the level of the nineteenth-rank Guannei Marquis or the twentieth-rank Che Marquis. In this way, they can be honored as kings or marquises without being granted a title of nobility.

The air almost froze for a moment.

After a few breaths, no one responded.

Just when everyone was sweating and thinking that Lin Feng was bluffing, even more shrill and weird laughter came from all directions, with its own electronic music reverberation effect: "I say, old buddy, you are also old enough to go into the coffin, isn't it too ugly to still bully children here? Give me some face, let them go, how about we two old brothers find a place to reminisce about the past?"

Thick scarlet fog rolled up from the ground.

The whirlwind gathered at the spot and formed a strange-looking... no, to be more precise, a skeleton with a terrifying shape.

The skeleton was wearing a set of eerie armor with ferocious and ferocious beasts as patterns. He took off his helmet and held it in one hand, while playing with a bone hammer in the other. Two clusters of life fire were burning in the eye sockets of the white skull, which was eerie and terrifying. The skeleton warrior grinned in a certain direction, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. It was clearly a friendly greeting, but it made people think he was provoking.

Ok……

How is this not a provocation?

"Weicheng?"

The man in the dark uttered this strange yet familiar name.

"Humph, it's me." He took two steps forward and laughed strangely, "One word, will you give me some face?"

"I'm not giving you any face!" The other party's voice was obviously broken, and it was sharp, rapid and piercing. "Who do you think you are? You're just a piece of shit. Do you think you're worthy of me giving you face?"

The color of Weicheng's life fire became three points darker.

Evil energy gathered around his body and the air temperature dropped suddenly.

"Tsk, it looks like we can't come to an agreement—" Wei Cheng tilted his head slightly, and said with regret, "I carry the three-foot sword in the box on my back, to show the heavens that I will not be unfair to others. I don't want to work for the Shen guy, but I just can't stand the old man bullying the weak."

He will take care of this trivial matter.

Seeing that Wei Cheng was serious, the man broke off several syllables in his sentence. His tone was sinister, as if every word was forced out from his back teeth: "Wei, do you really want to go against me?"

Wei Cheng didn't waste time talking to him and sneered, "I have invited my uncle to come out, how can it be a fake? We haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years. This is a rare opportunity. How about a fight to loosen up our muscles?"

The person in the dark did not respond directly, but judging from the gravel shaking more and more, the other party was also eager to tear down Weicheng and stew bone soup. Lin Feng concealed the dark color in his eyes: "The Marquis of Wei wants to reminisce with his old friends, and I don't want to disturb him. But the capital is really in danger. Do you really want to waste your time here?"

After a long while, the thick fog gradually dissipated.

The moonlight in the sky returned to its bright state, and there was no wind or cloud.

Wei Cheng sneered disdainfully: "He ran away. This bastard was the fastest runner in the previous battles, but now he is a coward."

Lin Feng: "Give each other a way out and save face."

Wei Cheng did not get angry but laughed: "I want him to give me a way out?"

"Uncle Weihou is not here, and they are not sure they can win. Instead of really fighting, it is better to pretend nothing happened."

When Wei Cheng deliberately mentioned Wei Lou, Lin Feng knew that he was also weak inside - because of the special seal back then, Wei Cheng was not a living person, and his strength was far from the peak after returning to freedom. He also had not fully recovered his vitality during these years of recuperation - this twentieth-level Chehou was still very weak, but if Wei Lou was there, he could make up for it.

Lin Feng couldn't bear to see the two sides really fight.

Deliberately mentioning that King Qu was in danger was to give both sides a way out.

"How do you know my uncle didn't come?"

Lin Feng did not answer, and Wei Cheng was not angry. He learned a lesson from his uncle: Literary men have a habit of being secretive and playing tricks. They only tell half of the truth and keep the other half. If you are too curious when working with these people, you will be miserable.

Wei Cheng asked again: "Then how do you know that I am nearby?"

Lin Feng responded this time.

"People who are entrusted with important tasks by the lord are always reliable."

"I am not a subordinate of the surname Shen. If I am not in a good mood, I may watch you die here." Wei Cheng came earlier, but it was not convenient to show up in the territory of Qu State, lest he be caught by old acquaintances. He did not intend to let Lin Feng and others get into trouble, but he just didn't like these people under Shen Tang's command and liked to say a few words.

"If the Marquis of Wei doesn't show up, I still have a backup plan."

"You're not that old, but your tone is not that young."

If a weak scribe is dragged into this, wouldn’t it be fatal?

Lin Feng didn't argue with him.

It's not that she was bluffing, but the back-up plan she mentioned might cause some unpleasant psychological trauma in Wei Cheng. People came all the way for her, so she could just say a few words of criticism, it wouldn't hurt her. The journey was smooth after that.

The officials who received them when they left the country were courteous and considerate.

Sensing his master's mood, the bone horse under Wei Cheng's crotch snorted. He mocked with displeasure: "After such an ugly scene last night, you can still pretend that nothing happened at dawn... Tsk, your face is so thick that even a punch can't penetrate it."

Gong Xichou muttered, "They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they pretending to be white rabbits? I don't believe you haven't seen it when you were in Wu State."

Wei Cheng snorted coldly: "The first lord conquered the world with military force, not these conspiracies and tricks, or fake dramas with hidden daggers behind their smiles. Only the weak would think of unorthodox methods! In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and plots are a joke! Do you know?"

Gong Xichou said "Oh" perfunctorily.

He stabbed the other party without hesitation and asked, "Wu State was indeed founded by force, but wasn't it destroyed by conspiracy in the end?"

This sentence made Wei Cheng want to hit him on the head with a bone hammer.

You little bastard, why are you bringing up such a topic?
Gong Xichou's words hit the nail on the head.

He thought that those old friends were as sincere as he was, but now that time has passed, he realizes that everyone has their own little calculations, and he is the clown. The destruction of Wu State is a hurdle he will never get over in his life, and he will fight anyone who brings it up!

Luo Sha couldn't help but move closer to Lin Feng.

I am afraid that I will be harmed by the fish in the pond.

"...I have never heard that the royal court has the help of Che Hou before." The crisis was resolved, and the tense nerves finally relaxed. Luo Sha was interested in this "Wei Hou" who came from the sky - the 20th-level Che Hou is the ultimate dream of all Wudan warriors. It is conceivable how much attraction Weicheng has for him, "I heard that General Gongshu also looks inhuman."

Gong Shuwu is still far from being a marquis at the twentieth rank.

If he was not unfamiliar with it, he would want to step forward and ask for advice.

Lin Feng: "I didn't expect the Marquis of Wei to come."

The master had informed her in advance that the people coming to pick them up would definitely shock the Qu Kingdom, so she didn't need to panic. Lin Feng was not afraid. As she said, she was confident that she would be able to return with confidence. Who wouldn't be happy to reduce the overall difficulty?

"…Marquis Wei is not a military general in the court of King Kang. It's because the lord has some personal friendship with him. In addition, he has a kind character and a chivalrous spirit, which is why he was persuaded to come and help..." These comments were not made by her, but by the lord's original words.

Wei Cheng: "... Humph, it's rare for you to say something like a decent person." It was worth the long trip he made.

Lin Feng and his group did not rush back to Kangguo directly to report.

Kangguo sent Quguo away to test the grain borrowing, so that Quguo and the central part could maintain a stalemate for a while. The domestic situation was temporarily stable. Lin Feng and his party's next destination was the incarnation of Zixu. Wei Cheng escorted them for a day to make sure there was no tail following them before he retired. Wei Hou was a principled Hou! He only agreed to pick up Lin Feng, but did not agree to anything else.

"What a weird guy."

Even Luo Sha could see the twist in the situation.

Wei Cheng's appearance this time made Qu State think that he was a member of Kang State's camp. It was too late to draw a clear line now.

Lin Feng looked down at the map and analyzed the route ahead - there were warring local warlord forces nearby, and they had to pass through the intersection of the two forces, so they couldn't go wrong. She said without even looking up, "The bottom line is that if you take one step back, you will retreat step by step."

If you promise once, you will promise a second time.

This time it is Weicheng, next time the uncle and nephew will come out together.

"The next step is Suginaga County. The lord said before that he would send troops to this place, but I don't know whether they have taken it. If not, it's just right to accept it as a gift." Lin Feng rolled up the map, threw it into the horse's saddlebag, and jumped onto the horse lightly.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"drive--"

Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving, a scout discovered a corpse lying there.

Judging from the clothes on the bodies, this group of people were obviously enemy scouts who were killed while performing their duties. They searched the bodies and their belongings and were shocked to find that the military information was all there, except for a map. Could it be that one of their own did it?
When we went back to reconcile the accounts, no one claimed the credit.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After failing to stop Lin Feng and his companions, the group hurried back to the capital. Before they arrived, they received the bad news of the sudden change in the situation in the capital at the post station on the road. The content of the news was vague and did not mention any specific matters.

When he rushed back, the capital was under martial law.

From time to time, people splashed water and swept the streets.

Even though a whole day had passed, the air was still filled with the disgusting smell of blood, and in some places the blood had not yet been cleaned up. The scholar in green rode away in a cloud of dust, and rushed into the palace with the token. The smell of blood in the palace was even stronger, and the number of palace people was much less visible to the naked eye. He couldn't help but think of a rumor - the night when the previous king passed the throne to the master, there was also a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

Is there any other incident that could compare to that one?
Haha, it really exists.

"Prime Minister Yu, what happened in the capital? Is it serious?"

Yu Hai also knew in advance that the interception operation had failed. Seeing the other party rushing back, he did not blame them - this operation itself was not 100% certain, and the master even bet with him that he might return empty-handed. Hearing this, Yu Hai was speechless...

[You don't know how much Shen Youli values ​​her. ]

It is impossible not to provide Lin Feng with sufficient insurance.

Yu Hai sneered: [You value him so much yet you send him here to seek death? ]

[Does it mean that if I value him, I will be kept by my side as a puppet for the rest of my life?] In Zhai Le's opinion, as long as he survives, it is worth it to go through all the twists and turns and dangers, [But, what if?]

Lin Feng came over and saw some of Qu Guo’s cards.

Everything should be fair and just, and he should be shown Kangguo's cards.

Food supply is critical but not the most critical. Without absolute strength, even mountains of gold and silver will be plundered.

Zhai Le estimated Lin Feng's speed and waited patiently for news from the front.

Before the news arrived, his own house caught fire.

Yu Hai sighed, "Except for the big court meetings, all other small court meetings have been stopped... How serious do you think this is? I'll take you to see the master, and we'll get back to business. Don't go to him these days and get into trouble."

He said, lowering his voice.

"The Lord has killed several families and three clans, and also deposed Prince Xun. Prince Xun is still alive, but his wives, concubines, and children were either killed or exiled... Forty percent of the palace servants were also cleared out..." Zhai Le's actions this time were much more ruthless than Zhai Huan's back then.

After Zhai Le came to power, he made all these cousins ​​kings.

He raised them all in luxury and kept them at home, where he peacefully raised children for the Zhai family, and he paid for the daily expenses of his wives, concubines and children.

"King Xun..."

That is Zhai Huan’s biological brother.

If it wasn't a big deal, Zhai Le would not have been willing to touch the other party.

"What on earth is going on..."

He suddenly became afraid to hear the truth, fearing that he would be implicated.

"...On that family dinner, His Highness did not come for a long time, so the Queen sent someone to invite him, and the maid replied that..." Yu Hai lowered his voice very low, "She replied that His Highness was not feeling well and could not come. The Lord noticed that the maid was acting strangely, so he went to visit her in person... and saw that His Highness was behaving very intimately with the female official of Zuo Chunfang."

The scholar in blue took a breath of cold air: "Then——"

Yu Hai couldn't bear to recall how chaotic that day was.

Zhai Le was so furious that he lost control, the palace maids were so terrified that they screamed, and the queen fainted from shock and became ill... The queen looked strange, and the doctor came to check her pulse and said that she had touched something that could stimulate the blood. Zhai Le wanted to kill the female official without saying a word.

Of course, the killing failed.

The princess stepped forward to stop his butcher knife.

Zhai Le was furious but couldn't bear to do anything to his daughter. He had the female official thrown into the dungeon and tortured to get all the secrets out! She failed to commit suicide and confessed everything under the torture of Yan Ling.

It would be fine if you didn't explain, but once you explain, a bunch of secrets will be revealed!
The female official's identity was fake. Her real identity was the "daughter" of a criminal who had been slaughtered by Zhai Le. She paid the price and hid her identity just for revenge: [Ha... I had many opportunities to let Zhai Xiaofang also taste the feeling of an old man sending off a young man, but why did he get such an easy chance? I want to make him sick for the rest of his life! Every time he thinks of this, he will feel a lump in his throat! ]

[What princess? ]

[He is nothing more than a fool who is being fooled by others. 】

[He who deceives others will always deceive others. This is his retribution! ]

"That family... the bodies were carefully examined, so how could there be someone who slipped through the net? If it was really that family, this person must have been very old when he started practicing. How could he have reached this stage of practice without any foundation or resources and hiding from place to place? Is he really a genius?"

"Because...it was originally a man..."

The female officials who could be sent to the Princess's Mansion were carefully selected, and even had their bodies checked. The female official also went through this process and left a detailed file. The coroner also checked when he collected the body, and it was indeed a female body! Who would have thought that he was a man?
If the person was not so far away and had no motive to do anything evil, Yu Hai would have suspected that Qishan was trying to disgust others.

This female official revealed more secrets than just these.

Not only did she have someone behind the scenes to instigate and support her, but some female officials knew that there was something wrong between this person and His Highness, and not only did they turn a blind eye at the instigation of their families, but they even watched it happen, and used indirect means to coax His Highness, maliciously leading him to indulge in it...

"...In private, the atmosphere of vying for favor and invitation is prevalent."

(つД`)
The game is idle every day, and the appearance never stops...

Why doesn't XSJ just take the money out of my pocket...

I always feel that I have to work hard to update this broken game in order to keep it alive_(:з」∠)_
