That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1097
Yu Kuang and Wei Wuji looked at each other again.

Yu Kuang said slowly: "It is true that asking the imperial court for instructions is a surefire strategy, but it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth. I am afraid that the king of Wei will not wait for us for such a long time. , it’s actually not a big deal to see King Wei.”

"I think so too." Wei Wuji interjected, "If the king of Wei has the heart to discuss peace, it's a big deal. It should be sooner rather than later. It's reasonable to go and see him."

"Then the three of us will meet together." Zhao Qing opened his eyes and straightened up, "The three of us are just working together temporarily, and there is no suspicion of collusion. This time we will meet King Wei together, even if it is Be a witness to each other, and when the court asks in the future, it can be regarded as an explanation to the court."

Yu Kuang nodded and said: "Master Zhao's words are old-fashioned and prudent words. The three of us will go to see him together. We are not afraid of Xiao Jin's tricks, let alone the court's suspicion."

Zhao Qing asked: "Did Xiao Jin say anything, when and where?"

Wei Wuji said: "He said the location is just outside Liangxiang City, as for the time, it's up to us to decide."

Zhao Qing finally got up from the reclining chair and said: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and there is no need to pick the time, just do it now."

……

Outside the city of Liangxiang, the turbulent Han River was flowing eastward, and Xiao Jin, who was dressed in a black python robe, stood with his hands behind his back on the cliff and looked at the river.

Soon a subordinate came to report and reported Zhao Qing's reply to him.

At this moment, Liu Mian, who was standing not far behind Xiao Jin, said slowly, "Everything is as expected by Your Highness, Your Highness has a fortune teller."

Xiao Jin shook her two big sleeves, said with a smile: "Everything in the world is as numerous as a cow's hair. It seems to be disturbed, but in fact there are traces to follow. In the final analysis, it lies in the word human heart. As long as you understand the human heart and push people's affairs with the human heart, you can do it." Although Gu and Zhao Qing have no friendship at all, after all, they have known each other for decades, and they still have some understanding of this person's temperament, so it is not surprising to be able to guess his choice."

Liumian nodded slightly and returned to silence.

Xiao Jin asked again: "How is it over there?"

But this time, instead of asking the six faces behind him, he asked the water face in front of him.

At this time, the river was still relatively calm, and Xiao Jin's figure was clearly reflected. After Xiao Jin asked, the reflection on the river suddenly became blurred. The expression and demeanor are quite different, and what is even more surprising is that this reflection has escaped from the river surface, and slowly rises from the river water from virtual to real, and becomes a real person hanging above the river surface, similar to Xiao Xiao. Jin stood opposite each other.

Different from Xiao Jin's python robe, the person who came was wearing a Confucian shirt with fluttering long sleeves and a celebrity style. It was Chen Gongyu.The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin, they are both one person and not one person, mysterious and mysterious.

Chen Gongyu said slowly: "The situation is very chaotic and difficult. The Buddhism's action was really unexpected. Although Qiuyue did not directly attack on the bright side, it was actually very protective of Xu Beiyou. On the eve of the festival, he helped Xu Beiyou to facilitate a shot called "Xuanxue". First, Chen Ye was injected with a breath of Zhuxian Sword Qi by Xu Beiyou, and then Xiao Lin wanted to take advantage of Xu Beiyou's lack of strength to force the shot, but was seriously injured by Xu Beiyou's backhand. After escaping, he disappeared , [-]% may have died in the hands of others and will not come back."

Xiao Jin said with emotion softly: "According to the calculation, Xiao Lin has followed me for decades, but I didn't expect that after Li Fenggu's death, he also followed closely."

Chen Gongyu ignored Xiao Jin's emotion, and continued: "After Chen Ye saw this scene, he didn't dare to stay in the Buddhist gate anymore, so he immediately took people out of the Buddhist gate, took a boat from Liaozhou, and left Chen Huanzhi behind. Let him meet Mutang secretly."

Xiao Jin said flatly: "Then they still couldn't escape."

Chen Gongyu nodded and said: "When entering the border of the East China Sea, Jianzong Bingchen suddenly appeared, one person and one sword blocked the way, Chenye was defeated and fled because of Xu Beiyou's sword spirit in his body, although Murong Xuan wanted to rescue him , but she was unwilling to do her best, and eventually lost to Bingchen, the eighteenth-floor sword fairy, and finally Shangguan Yun died on the spot, and Qingye fled in embarrassment."

Xiao Jin asked, "Where's Chen Ye?"

Chen Gongyu said: "Being chased by Bingchen all the way, I don't know if I can escape back to Linxian Mansion."

Xiao Jin stretched out her hand to press the position between her eyebrows with her middle finger, tapped her forehead lightly with her index finger, and raised her sword eyebrows slightly, "That is really a heavy loss. One Xiao Lin and one Shangguan Yun are already considered muscle injuries for us. Bone."

Although it was obviously a loss that was enough to make people rage or heart-piercing, Xiao Jin was still indifferent, as if he didn't feel happy about things or sad about himself, as if he didn't take it to heart at all. Just talking about this skill of nourishing qi is enough to make many celebrities, scholars or eminent monks feel ashamed.

Chen Gongyu is far inferior to Xiao Jin in this point, and suddenly smiled and said: "We have suffered a heavy loss, and the Taoist school is not easy. We have lost a second-largest deacon. In this way, the Temple of Demon Suppression really exists in name only."

Xiao Jin stopped her movements, withdrew her palm, and said calmly, "Something happened to King Mu."

Affirmation, not doubt.

Chen Gongyu nodded and said, "Da Qi called you, Lin Han, and Mutang together as the San Francisco, and called our rebellion this time as the San Francisco Rebellion, but who would have thought that one of the majestic three feudal lords, It was turned over and destroyed in a day and night."

Xiao Jin closed her eyes and put her hand on her forehead, "The Mu family is dead? Da Qi doesn't have the ability. The only possibility is that the Buddhist sect has made a move, or that the Buddhist sect and Da Qi have joined forces, and there is even a betrayal of relatives." After all, the Mu clan has been rooted in the Northeast for many years, with a deep foundation, so it is not so easy to kill."

Chen Gongyu sighed, "The Dragon King of Buddhism, Da Qi Zhao Wuji, and Northeast Zha Qing, the three joined forces to force the palace. Mutang knew that the situation was over, so he killed himself and his head was sent to Xu Beiyou's place. Chu Tongcheng died on the spot, and Lin Zong was escorted to the imperial capital by Zhao Wuji, so he might not escape the fate of offering sacrifices to the flag."

Xiao Jin finally let out a deep sigh, and the previous calm state was no longer seen.

Losing a Xiao Lin, losing a Shangguan Yun, he doesn't care, because these monks are not the key to the final decision, but if there is one Northeast Mutang, the whole world will be different.In this way, the Daqi court no longer has to worry about the future, let alone be afraid of being attacked by the enemy, and can concentrate on calming Jiangnan. Then he will become difficult on the Jiangnan battlefield. If Lin Han is unable to capture the northwest for a long time, join him It can be predicted that the San Francisco Rebellion sweeping the world will end in complete failure.

As for his fate, the best result is to retreat to Wei State, relying on the vast East China Sea as a barrier, linger on and chat for the rest of his life.If it gets worse, Mutangzhi's fate will be a lesson for others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin felt for the first time that the situation was getting out of her control.

At this moment, three warriors came out of Xiangyang City, they had no followers, and they had never ridden a horse. They were walking on foot, their steps were no different from ordinary people, and they were walking slowly towards this side.

Xiao Jin then turned her head to look, and said softly: "Although it's too early to say who will win and who will lose, it's time to plan ahead."
