Chapter 557: Killing Four Birds with One Stone

Song Wu said at the side: "General, Xia Daozi is a vicious and calculating person. He is forced to join forces with us. I am afraid that we will not get any benefits from making a deal with him. He may not keep his promise and give up his position."

Wang Xiaobo said calmly: "If he doesn't retreat, I will send troops again, and he will have to retreat even if he doesn't want to."

Song Wu added: "I guess Xia Daozi may just want to use the general to kill Chen Tang. I hope the general will think twice."

Wang Xiaobo glanced at Song Wu and snorted coldly: "Even if there was no deal with Xia Daozi, Chen Tang would have died today."

Song Wu remained silent.

Chen Tang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed three times.

"why are you laughing?"

Wang Xiaobo asked.

"nothing."

Chen Tang said, "It's just that when I first met the general, he said something to me. It was so heartfelt and sincere. Thinking back on it now, I couldn't help but laugh."

At the beginning, outside Langya Pavilion, Wang Xiaobo took the initiative to invite Chen Tang to work under him.

Moreover, he has high hopes for Chen Tang.

Not only was he worried about Chen Tang's safety, he even said that the future of Daxia ultimately belongs to young people like you.

He even had a moment of impulse and agreed.

And today, Wang Xiaobo came out personally and wanted to take his life.

It's really ironic.

"I do admire you, but before that, I didn't know your origins."

Wang Xiaobo said: "How can the future of Daxia be handed over to a Beiqian person? Letting you go back to Beiqian is like letting a tiger go back to the mountain. You will become a great threat to Nanxia in the future!"

Chen Tang had seen through Wang Xiaobo's thoughts and said, "To be honest, even if I were from Nanxia, ​​the general would not let me go."

"good."

Wang Xiaobo nodded and said, "You are unwilling to join the Northern Expedition Army, unwilling to be inferior to others, and have no weak points, which means that you are difficult to control."

Most of the people who make Chen Tang worried are in Beiqian, and Wang Xiaobo can't reach them.

After all, some people from Nanxia, ​​such as Ye Yushi and Zhiwei, are protected by Jiange and Langya Pavilion, and Wang Xiaobo cannot touch them.

"Moreover, you have already entered the third rank at the age of twenty. It is very likely that you will become the second Ye Anshi or Zui Weng in the future."

Wang Xiaobo said: "No matter whether you are from Beiqian or Nanxia, ​​I will take action to eliminate the hidden dangers in Nanxia's future!"

"Yes."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Even if Marshal Xuan surrendered the Northern Expedition Army and even if the Sword Sect retired to the mountains, you were still wary of them and tried every means to eliminate this hidden danger."

“So, in the battle in the capital, Jian Zong and Xuan Shuai were injured, and many people in Jian Ge died and were injured, but you were not injured.”

Regarding this point, Zui Weng had already seen the clues at the martial arts conference.

Chen Tang continued, "The two leaders of Xuantian Sect died, and the casualties were heavy. The vitality was greatly damaged. They retreated to the sea and it is difficult for them to make any progress."

"After the martial arts conference, Zui Weng died, and the forces of Zui Xian Lou and other sects have developed grievances and hostility with each other, making it difficult for them to come together as a group."

"General, this game within a game has weakened the Sword Pavilion, severely damaged the Xuantian Sect, and alienated the various forces in the martial arts world. It kills three birds with one stone. You, Wang Xiaobo, are the biggest winner!"

The innkeeper and the four people by the stove were all shocked when they heard this.

Although some aspects of the conversation between the two seemed to be unclear to the others, they could still roughly understand it.

The actions of General Wang, the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, seemed to be somewhat different from what was rumored.

Hearing Chen Tang's words, a hint of pride flashed across Wang Xiaobo's originally calm eyes.

This battle not only eliminated many hidden dangers in Nanxia, ​​but also completely established his position in Nanxia, ​​and his achievements were comparable to Ye Anshi's supreme reputation!

Wang Xiaobo nodded slightly and said, "You are very smart and have seen through many things, but you still missed one thing."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang waited for Wang Xiaobo to explain.

Song Wu suddenly said, "General, you killed him because you are going to take over the legacy left by Zui Weng. In addition to Zuixianlou, you can also use this opportunity to make friends with major forces in Jianghu."

At the martial arts conference, in full view of everyone, Chen Tang killed He Shiyao with a sword.

The exposure of the Drunken Eight Immortals also originated from Chen Tang. If Wang Xiaobo killed Chen Tang, it would be like avenging the Drunken Immortals.

"The general has a good plan. It turns out he kills four birds with one stone."

Chen Tang laughed at himself and said, "If that's the case, I really have to die."

"You are indeed the young people I admire most. Together, you have almost guessed everything I was thinking."

Wang Xiaobo looked at Song Wu beside him, his eyes bright, and said slowly: "However, it is not me who kills Chen Tang, but you who kill him. This is a military order!"

Song Wu had a blank expression on his face and was not surprised.

He had expected this moment when he walked into the inn.

If Wang Xiaobo wanted to kill Chen Tang, he could do it alone, so there was no need to take him with him.

Since he is brought along, there must be other purposes.

Moreover, he had just thought of a strategy to deal with it.

Being in the Northern Expedition Army, it is absolutely unacceptable to openly disobey military orders. This is a capital crime.

There is only one possibility.

He fought with Chen Tang and revealed his weakness, then pretended to be defeated and gave Chen Tang a chance to escape.

He believed in the tacit understanding between the two.

As for whether Chen Tang could escape Wang Xiaobo's pursuit, he didn't know.

Not much hope.

After all, Wang Xiaobo is a top master.

But this may be Chen Tang's only chance of survival.

"It's almost time."

At this moment, Wang Xiaobo sighed softly.

Before Song Wu could react, Wang Xiaobo disappeared before his eyes and appeared in front of Chen Tang in an instant!

This happened extremely suddenly.

Wang Xiaobo had just said to let Song Wu do the fighting, but no one expected that he would suddenly jump up and rush straight to kill Chen Tang.

Chen Tang had been concentrating and on guard for a long time. Sensing the danger, he immediately entered the state of divine illumination and unsheathed his Wan Gu sword!

But the burning wood had only been cut halfway, and as soon as it showed signs of burning, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

boom!
There was a dull thud, and the terrifying sound of bones cracking spread throughout the chest.

Crackling!

Chen Tang was instantly thrown out, smashing several tables and chairs in succession, and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His face was pale and he was almost unable to move.

Wang Xiaobo’s move was so fast, like thunder, unstoppable!

The gap between the two sides is too big.

Just as Jian Zong expected, his meditation session was completely useless in front of the Grand Master.

The dragon inner armor that had protected Chen Tang many times was shattered by Wang Xiaobo's palm. It was now useless and could no longer be used.

Even though he had mastered the Vajra Indestructible Skill, Chen Tang could not withstand a palm strike from a top master. His chest collapsed, large pieces of bones shattered, and he completely lost his combat power.

Chen Tang secretly groaned.

This time it was really terrible.

When seeing others’ breakthroughs in cultivation, a few small soldiers and crab generals would randomly jump out to show their presence, show off their power in front of others.

What a bad thing for him. Just two days after his breakthrough, a top master came to kill him.

He didn't say a few words before he was crippled by a slap.

No chance at all.

What Jian Zong said was indeed right. Things in the world are unpredictable, and there will always be many unexpected variables and accidents.
