Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 695 Cai Luan learns the truth, the old Taoist appears

"Huh??"

In the Jia Mansion, Jia Hong, who was still meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He raised his head and looked outside.

There is no moon tonight, and it is pitch black outside. You can't see your hand in front of you.

He told Miaoyu what to do next, but it did not include taking action tonight. He had an unexpected gain from Xiangyun today. The longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for him now.

The combat power of the Great Snow Dragon Riders is indeed extraordinary to the secular world, and they can crush ordinary armies, but the person hiding in the dark will definitely not sit idly by and watch this battle.

So, in his opinion, this battle was a stupid move.

At the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion, Cailuan listened to Miaoyu's words with a look of bitterness on her face.

"Good sister, I know he is fine, but you should have told me what his plan was. I have already sent a message to Xu Yuanhui and the others. They are expected to appear in the tent of King Dongping tonight."

Miaoyu frowned. As the saying goes, plans are not as fast as changes. Jia Hong's arrangements today were probably because he gained something from Miss Shi. How could she have predicted everything in advance?

"If that's the case, that person will probably take action!"

Miaoyu sighed in her heart. It would probably take the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry much energy to deal with the rebel army led by Prince Dongping. The real enemy they were going to face this time was the old Taoist priest.

As for the result, Miaoyu did not say anything more, but Cailuan's expression changed again and again.

She stood up suddenly, clenching her delicate little fists tightly.

“Is there any other way?”

After all, she was Jia Hong's confidant who he had cultivated with great effort, and she had followed him in battles for so many years. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for her.

If the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry suffered heavy losses due to her own mistakes, how could she face Jia Hong?

"No."

Miaoyu was silent for a moment and then shook her head.

No matter how good the plan is, it will be vulnerable in the face of overwhelming strength. Right now, the only person who can deal with the Taoist priest is Jia Hong.

But for Jia Hong, this is not the best time to take action.

Using a big battle to move from the front stage to behind the scenes, this is definitely a stroke of genius for the Champion Marquis' Mansion.

Whether it was the Daming Palace, the imperial court, or even the upper realm, there were too many calculations. Perhaps because he had affected the interests of certain people, Jia Hong was deliberately targeted and killed.

If Jia Hong showed up before those people's cards were exposed, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in subsequent actions. Perhaps this would not affect anything, but it might also lead to a complete collapse of the chess game.

“Unless he takes action”

Hearing this, Cai Luan's eyes were filled with complicated feelings. She was not stupid. If Jia Hong was willing to take action, he would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.

And until now Jia Hong still hasn't made any move, which means that the conditions do not allow it or he has other plans. Looking at the night outside the window, she finally closed her eyes gently. Although Miaoyu did not say what Jia Hong's plan was and whether he would take action, she had a feeling that Jia Hong would most likely stand idly by this time.

She had known the identity of the Taoist priest a long time ago. She had been hoping for luck in this operation. If they could cut the Gordian knot quickly, the Taoist priest might not have time to react. She even suspected that the Taoist priest could not act at will, because that was the case with the Northern Yuan Dynasty when she followed Jia Hong to fight in the Nine Frontiers. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Outside the capital, in the night, Xu Yuanhui looked at the lame old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared in front of him, his face gloomy.

It was supposed to be a blitzkrieg, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this. The Marquis' Mansion had previously reminded them that they would most likely encounter this person during the night raid, and asked them to be careful. But when they actually encountered him, they realized what it meant to be in a difficult situation.

"You are the personal guards of the Champion Marquis, right?"

The old Taoist spoke, his eyes swept across the battlefield, finally focusing on Xu Yuanhui.

Looking around, the surroundings were already filled with corpses lying in all directions. There were men from King Dongping and men from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. Most of the men on King Dongping's side died at the hands of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. They had no time to react and were killed directly by this iron cavalry. As for those men from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, most of their injuries were caused by the uninvited guest in front of them.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

As the temporary leader of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, Xu Yuanhui was not inferior in momentum. Even though he knew that the other party was a cultivator like Jia Hong, he was not panicked.

"Not so"

The old Taoist just chuckled and didn't take Xu Yuanhui's words to heart. To him, Prince Dongping was just a tool to make the capital and the court in chaos so that he could gain benefits.

As for what their fate will be, he doesn't care at all. What he cares about is always the result.

"It's rare that you have reached the top level in the martial arts world. I'm a little reluctant to kill you!!"

The old Taoist looked at him leisurely. Judging from their realm, most of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were top-notch fighters in the martial arts world. Several of their leaders were at the Xiantian realm. In the human world, these people were already considered rare fighting forces.

And one thing is even more commendable. These people did not act alone, but formed a military formation. In this way, their combat effectiveness was even more outstanding.

If possible, he would naturally want to subdue these people.

"Jia Hong is missing and has not returned yet. You should have heard some secrets about this matter, right?"

The old Taoist stood in front of King Dongping, smiling in an unfathomable manner.

Xu Yuanhui and other commanders looked gloomy. They had naturally heard a lot of information, but the results of these reports were not satisfactory.

Moreover, in the follow-up, a lot of information was passed on from the Marquis' Mansion one after another. Was the disappearance of Champion Marquis Jia Hong'e a result of someone's targeting, or was it a deliberate target by those practitioners?

“What do you mean, Your Excellency??”

Tie Niu spoke in a buzzing voice, his anger barely concealed in his words.

For people like them, Jia Hong is not only their leader, but also their benefactor. All of them are inseparable from Jia Hong in achieving what they have today.

Whether it is the secret methods practiced, the huge amounts of gold and silver spent, or even the favors, they can no longer be measured by money.

"It's not interesting. Aren't you curious? I know a thing or two about this matter. Don't you want to hear where the champion marquis Jia Hong went? Is he alive or dead? Where did he go?"

Xu Yuanhui and several other commanders smiled coldly in their hearts. They might not know Jia Hong's whereabouts, but they were 100% sure of his life or death. Jia Hong was still alive.

"What if I said that Champion Marquis Jia Xuan was an evil spirit!!"
