After being forced to marry an enemy tyrant
Chapter 74
The guards quickly got the car ready.
Chang Ling didn't have his own mount, and he didn't want to share one with Zhu Meng, so he still chose to ride in the cloud cart.After serving Zhu Meng, Cang Jie was assigned by Zhu Meng to help Chang Ling get into the carriage.
Chang Ling said: "You can concentrate on serving His Highness the Second Highness."
Cangjie bowed and replied, "This is exactly what the Second Highness meant."
Zhu Meng was obviously in a good mood, so his attitude changed drastically. He even put aside the temptation and deliberately making things difficult for Cangjie along the way.
Chang Ling nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and Cangjie re-tied the cloak for him.
When he entered the car and was about to close the door, Cangjie suddenly paused because he saw a little blood stain on his finger.
He suddenly thought of something, his pupils trembled, and he looked at Chang Ling: "Young Master, you..."
Chang Ling put up his cloak as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's time to drive."
Zhu Meng in front was also urging him, Cangjie didn't dare to stay longer, he could only temporarily suppress the pain in his heart, bowed deeply into the carriage, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes quietly, and then turned and left.
Chang Ling took Zhu Meng to a very steep hillside where the vegetation growth was not too strong.
Zhu Meng looked around suspiciously, and said, "Are you sure it's here? Where did the rare spirit beast come from such a ghostly place?"
Chang Ling pushed open the car door and said, "It's meaningless to my cousin, but it's very meaningful to the border guards, because the people living here are not ordinary spirit beasts, but red mountain armor whose scales can be used to make armor. "
At this moment, Zhu Meng suddenly heard a very short whistle.
Immediately afterwards, there was the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes that would be unforgettable forever, and the large black knights who had been ambushing for a long time rushed out from all directions like a tide, and instantly swallowed up a piece of red dot in the distance .
Xi Yun rode his horse and stood on the highest point, apparently seeing Zhu Meng, Chang Ling and others.
Probably because he has been in the north for a long time, his eyes are always as cold as icebergs.His gaze flicked over Zhu Meng first, then landed on Chang Ling behind the car window.
Zhu Meng originally wanted to say hello with a smile, but now, he was suppressed by this gaze and couldn't open his mouth.
"General Xiyun."
Thinking of how difficult it was for Zhu Long to catch up with him, Zhu Meng took a deep breath, but still bit the bullet and opened his mouth.
Xi Yun withdrew his gaze lightly, and said: "This place is dangerous, Second Highness should not stay for long."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving no room for others to say anything. How could Zhu Meng let the opportunity fly away like this, took a few steps forward, and called urgently: "General, stay a step."
Xi Yun only tilted his brows slightly: "Is there anything else the Second Highness wants to do?"
"Don't dare to be." Zhu Meng arched his sleeves and said seriously: "It is Zhu Meng who has admired the general for a long time. Today, he finally saw the general's majesty. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, so he ventured into the general's territory."
Xiyun said without expression: "Your Highness, you made a mistake. This is the fox clan's spiritual realm. It is not my private territory. Everyone can enter. I reminded His Highness to leave, because the beasts are rampant here. If you stay for a long time, it will easily lead to disaster."
Zhu Meng didn't expect that his intention to express his goodwill was so straightforward, Xi Yun was unmoved, every word and sentence was like ice, blocking all flattery and flattery, and did not give him any approach to curry favor Opportunity.Seeing that the other party was about to move away again, Zhu Meng couldn't hold back anymore, and blurted out hastily: "Although beasts are evil, some people are a hundred times and thousands of times worse than beasts. The general must not be deceived by their appearance. As long as the general is willing to fight with them I cooperate, and I guarantee that I can still give the general whatever he can give."
Xi Yun suddenly lowered his face, and said coldly: "The Second Highness has lost his word."
Zhu Meng gritted his teeth, and said: "Even if the general doesn't believe me, doesn't he even care about the son of the old master! Now, now, he and I are both prosperous, and we are both hurt!"
Xiyun turned around, his ice-knife-like eyes fell on Chang Ling again, and when he spoke, he answered Zhu Meng: "Second Highness thinks, if I want to take someone away, who can stop me?"
The implication is that I don't want to take it away.
Zhu Meng was so shocked that he couldn't talk to himself, he just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.He really had no other choice, so he moved out Chang Ling as a living bargaining chip. He held on to the last sliver of hope. Although the border guards didn't care about Chang Ling, they wouldn't really care about Chang Ling's life and death, but Xiyun was like this Said, didn't give him a step down at all, didn't he say that the surname Xi and the border guards were the most loyal to his uncle, Tu Shan Boyan, the old master!
Zhu Meng's ears burned, because this idea came up on the spur of the moment, and he didn't discuss it with Chang Ling beforehand.Now that the little monster is in the car, he must have heard their conversation.Can't take Xiyun down, he really is not human inside and out!
Neither is Zhu Mengjin, nor is it retreating, so I can't hold my breath.At this time, Chang Ling in the cloud car behind him suddenly said: "Cousin, if it is convenient, why don't you let me have a private chat with General Xi."
"you……?"
Zhu Meng frowned, a little hesitant.On the one hand, he doesn't believe that Chang Ling, who in his opinion has become an "abandoned son" in the eyes of the border guards, can have any practical results with Xi Yun.On the other hand, he was afraid that Chang Ling would take the opportunity to play tricks on him again.
After all, he suffered a lot from underestimating this little monster in the past.
Zhang Ling squinted his eyes halfway, as if he couldn't feel the cold eyes of Xi Yun on the opposite mountain, and said very casually: "It's up to people, cousin only has this chance, are you really willing to give up?"
These words were not serious, but they pierced Zhu Meng's heart precisely.Zhu Meng knew that today's Spring Hunting looked peaceful on the surface, but Zhu Long and him were destined to leave this hunting ground alive.If Xi Yun was really brought under Zhu Long's command, he would be buried here.
"it is good."
Zhu Meng squeezed his fist and said, "You come."
For the first time, he didn't say anything threatening, and he waved his sleeves, signaling the accompanying guards to disperse, and retreated with him to wait under an ancient tree a few feet away.
Cangjie hesitated for a moment, not daring to show too much worry, and retreated.
Only then did Chang Ling raise his eyes, and met the two ice-knife-like gazes cast by the stream cloud diagonally above.
Xiyun frowned imperceptibly, turned his back to the foot of the mountain, and stood with his sword.
Chang Ling opened the door, got out of the carriage, and slowly climbed up the mountain.His spiritual power was limited, and he climbed to the top of the hill after nearly a quarter of time.
When Xiyun heard the movement behind him, he said coldly: "The border guards follow your majesty's last wish, and protect the peace of the Fox clan's northern border, not a tool for power struggle."
Chang Ling said: "If the city of Qingqiu is broken, what's the use of protecting only one northern border?"
Xi Yun finally turned around and saw that Chang Ling's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and said tauntingly: "Just now, the young master has the ability to enter my 'qi field', how can he be so tired after climbing a slope?"
Chang Ling pulled the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm a waste, didn't General Xi know it earlier?"
This tone is so familiar, Xiyun can't help but recall that when he sent Junshang's body back to Qingqiu, after the burial ceremony, all civil and military officials in the court knelt in front of Junshang's tomb and wept uncontrollably, except for that little figure in white Standing upright at the front, not a single tear, not a single cry, not even kneeling.
He asked, "Why doesn't the young master kneel?"
The young man replied in a calm to terrible tone: "Your Majesty died for the country, and thousands of his subjects worshiped him, and I am not one of them."
That calm tone with obvious sarcasm is still unforgettable for Xi Yun, and it has also made it hard for the entire border guards to let go of this little young master.
"Besides—"
Chang Ling looked at Xi Yun's eyes and said, "Now that the four clans are dividing up and occupying Qingqiu, the northern border that General Xi is guarding now is not guarding for the Fox Clan, is it?"
Xi Yun withdrew his thoughts, and said with a sigh of relief: "Young master, you don't have to provoke me so much. The last battle, the Sirius Iron Cavalry was indeed impressive, but as long as the border guards survived for a day, they would not stand by and watch. Qingqiu was trampled by foreigners."
Chang Ling said: "In that case, why did General Xi go back to the capital to participate in the spring hunting this time?"
Xiyun finally revealed a bit of a stingy frown, emotionally fluctuating, and said with a deep brow: "Heishan, it's not Zhulong's person, but the young master's person?"
"It doesn't matter."
Chang Ling said without concealing his malice: "The important thing is that General Xi did not defend the northern border for the old master, but allowed the remnant soldiers led by Chu Yunfeng to escape into Qingqiu City."
Xiyun laughed back angrily, nodded and said: "The young master is indeed promising. Although I don't know how much he has improved in cultivation, this city's mental skills are hard for ordinary people to match."
"It's just that people are bound to be strong. Since the young master is willing to condescend to come to me, he must have encountered the same predicament as the minister."
Chang Ling said calmly: "You guessed right, I have a long-cherished wish to fulfill, a great revenge to avenge, but I lack soldiers and horses."
Xi Yun was surprised, and glanced at Zhu Meng, who was standing anxiously waiting in the distance: "Just to help that idiot to the top?"
Chang Ling said: "It's not him."
Xi Yun laughed: "Then who else?"
Chang Ling looked at him and said nothing.
Xiyun vaguely understood something, and his heart skipped a beat.
Chang Ling seemed to read what he was thinking, and said, "General Xi, would you like to make this bet with me?"
Xi Yun was silent for a moment, then said: "If you win the bet, what should the young master do?"
Chang Ling asked back, "What does General Xi want?"
Xiyun said word by word: "According to the rules of the fox clan, please ask the young master to go to the tomb of the king to plead guilty for the past."
Chang Ling twitched the corner of his mouth lightly.
Xi Yun frowned displeased, and said: "Why, if the grievances of the border guards are not appeased, the young master still wants to drive them at will?"
Chang Ling said: "I am not related to you, and I never thought of driving you at will. I will give you better conditions."
Xiyun's eyebrows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, and asked: "What conditions."
Chang Ling said: "The latest spirit crossbow developed by Fu Yu people can help you keep the Qingqiu border safe for 300 years."
**
Seeing Chang Ling coming down the hill, Zhu Meng hurried up to meet him, and asked nervously, "How?"
Chang Ling shook his head.
Zhu Meng's heart sank immediately: "Is he still unwilling?"
"Ugh."
Chang Ling sighed, and said: "He made a condition, and my cousin would definitely not agree to it, so I rejected it on my cousin's behalf."
"Who said I don't want to! Why do you make a decision without asking me!" Zhu Meng was so angry that he couldn't stop talking. He looked up and saw that Xiyun had disappeared into the forest with his sword, and asked anxiously: "What did he propose?" What condition?"
Chang Ling said: "He said that if the cousin really cooperates with him sincerely, he must hand over the guards and private soldiers under his command to him for unified command."
Zhu Meng really changed color.
Chang Ling spread his hands and said clearly: "I said my cousin would not agree."
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and Cang Jie reminded in a low voice: "Second Highness, I am afraid that it is Mr. Zhu Long who has come after him."
"He came rather quickly!"
Chang Ling closed his cloak and said, "Zhu Long must have come for Xiyun. If he sees his cousin, he may guess his purpose."
Cang Jie also followed closely: "That's right. Second Highness, it's better for us to leave quickly."
Zhu Meng's face was gloomy, and he sneered, "I'm afraid he won't succeed!"
Chang Ling said: "I know my cousin can't swallow this breath, but I wish the Longcheng Mansion is deep and scheming. If he makes a surprise attack or sues uncle before the strike, our plan of pulling wages from the bottom of the pot will come to naught."
"Humph."
A ruthless look flashed in Zhu Meng's eyes: "Then he must have the life to sue. He thought I didn't know how many tricks he had played behind my back all these years."
Chang Ling pretended not to understand what he meant.Zhu Meng clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said, "Go and tell Xi Yun that I agree to his terms."
**
Haruna is divided into two games.
Because he handed over his soldiers and horses, Zhu Meng watched Chang Ling even more closely, and even shared the same tent with Chang Ling during the lunch break.
It's just that compared to his nervousness, Chang Ling seemed extremely heartless. After eating some vegetarian food, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep with his head covered.
How could Zhu Meng sleep? Ever since he handed over the privately made military talisman, he felt as if he had entrusted his wealth and life to others. Drinking tea was not a good taste. Fidgeting and looking outside the tent, hoping to wait for the action signal from Xiyun.
But to Zhu Meng's disappointment, there was no movement from Xiyun until the hunting started in the afternoon.
"What the hell is he planning? Is he going back on his word?"
The more Zhu Meng waited, the more restless he became. Just as he was about to wake up Chang Ling, there was a rush of whistles outside the tent.This is not an ordinary whistle, but a whistle used by the fox clan as a warning, and the direction it comes from is the main camp where the fox emperor Bo emblem is located.
Zhu Meng's eyebrows twitched and he stood up.
Amidst the sound of fighting, Cang Jie hurriedly opened the tent and came in, saying: "It seems that something happened in the imperial tent!"
There was a buzzing in Zhu Meng's mind, and the first thought that popped up subconsciously was: Could it be that Zhu Long sent someone to do it, and he wants to rebel!What about Xiyun, did Xiyun really deceive me and colluded with Zhu Long?
Chang Ling was also awakened by the movement outside, and sat up with his cloak folded.
Zhu Meng sat slumped in the chair and murmured: "It's over, everything is over."
Chang Ling listened for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's not Xiyun, and it's not Zhulong."
Zhu Meng looked at him blankly.
Chang Ling said: "Listen carefully, it's not the black-blooded warhorse of the frontier guards, but the Kuilong beast."
"Kuilong Beast?"
Zhu Meng came back to his senses in horror, and said in a daze, "You mean Chi You people...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure covered in blood staggered in, and when he saw Zhu Meng, he fell to the ground and cried, "Second Highness!"
Zhu Meng recognized that it was Bo Hui's personal servant, and asked anxiously, "What happened to you? Where is my father?"
The servant cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he was kidnapped by the Chiyou people!"
"what?!"
Both Zhu Meng and Cang Jie changed their colors suddenly, Chang Ling also frowned slightly.
This turn of events was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and the attendant immediately took out a token from his pocket, held it up in front of Zhu Meng with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty ordered the slave to hand over the White Tiger Order to His Highness, and ordered His Highness to hurry up." Hurry up and lead the troops to the rescue!"
The White Tiger Order can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the capital, but since Chaser dared to openly rob people, he must have made full preparations. Most of the exits in the spiritual realm have been blocked. Now the White Tiger Order can mobilize those who are currently in the spiritual realm Soldiers and horses, including the group of Zhu Long's men.
Although it happened suddenly, it was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Jedi to fight back. Zhu Meng took the White Tiger Token that seemed extremely hot to him at the moment, even a little unreal. I will betray my father's trust."
"With the Second Highness here, the servant can rest assured."
After saying this, the servant fell to the ground straight and died.
Zhu Meng held the token tightly, his heart beating non-stop, he walked back and forth a few steps, and said to himself, "I have to mobilize troops and horses first."
He was about to walk out of the tent when Chang Ling suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Zhu Meng couldn't slow down, and said impatiently: "I'll talk about it when I come back, right now is my best chance."
Chang Ling said: "Now my uncle has been hijacked, the dragons have no leader, and Zhu Long has been in charge of the army of the capital for many years. Why does my cousin think that those generals will obey you only with a White Tiger Order?"
Zhu Meng turned back in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
Chang Ling said: "What I mean is that uncle's life or death is uncertain, just in case...if the matter really reaches the point of no return, since my cousin can think that this is an excellent opportunity for the Jedi to fight back, how could Zhu Long not think of it? "
Zhu Meng was startled by his question every sentence, calmed down for a moment, then turned back and said, "Then what do you think should be done now? Are you just hiding here and waiting to die!"
At this moment, Cangjie said from the side: "Now the situation is different. The Second Highness's enemies are not only Zhu Long, but also Chi You people. If you can't get a strong army that can compete with these two sides at the same time, you may gain in the end." It's from Chiyou."
Zhu Meng frowned: "You don't need to explain this truth. But now I'm trapped in this ghost place, even if I have the White Tiger Order in my hand, where can I send troops?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Meng regretted again that he shouldn't have handed over his generals to Xi Yun on the spur of the moment, so as to put himself in such a passive and dangerous situation.
"It's not impossible. In my opinion, although the current situation is not good for my cousin, it is also an excellent opportunity to turn against the wind."
Zhu Meng and Cang Jie looked at Chang Ling at the same time.
But Chang Ling said to the outside of the tent: "Come in."
Zhu Meng was more dazed and perplexed when he saw a man in black armor sneak in quietly, bowed slightly to the three people in the tent, and said, "There has been a change in the spiritual realm, Commander Xi invites you to take refuge in the tent."
Zhu Meng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Xi Yun to keep his promise and not be drawn over by Zhu Long.
Excitedly, he wanted to follow the black-armored soldier, but seeing Chang Ling still standing still, he asked puzzledly, "What's the matter with you?"
Chang Ling sighed: "Although the frontier defenders are strong in fighting power, they are at a disadvantage in numbers after all. They may not be able to defeat the double offensive of the Chi You people and the warriors under Zhu Long's command. My cousin has to find a way to mobilize more troops to win the battle." holding."
Zhu Meng glanced at the White Tiger Token in his hand, and said, "I don't think so, but except for those under Zhu Long's command, all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are far away in the royal city..."
"Second Highness." Cangjie knelt down and said, "This old slave is willing to break out of the encirclement and go to Wangcheng to complete the mission for Second Highness."
Chang Ling didn't have his own mount, and he didn't want to share one with Zhu Meng, so he still chose to ride in the cloud cart.After serving Zhu Meng, Cang Jie was assigned by Zhu Meng to help Chang Ling get into the carriage.
Chang Ling said: "You can concentrate on serving His Highness the Second Highness."
Cangjie bowed and replied, "This is exactly what the Second Highness meant."
Zhu Meng was obviously in a good mood, so his attitude changed drastically. He even put aside the temptation and deliberately making things difficult for Cangjie along the way.
Chang Ling nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and Cangjie re-tied the cloak for him.
When he entered the car and was about to close the door, Cangjie suddenly paused because he saw a little blood stain on his finger.
He suddenly thought of something, his pupils trembled, and he looked at Chang Ling: "Young Master, you..."
Chang Ling put up his cloak as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's time to drive."
Zhu Meng in front was also urging him, Cangjie didn't dare to stay longer, he could only temporarily suppress the pain in his heart, bowed deeply into the carriage, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes quietly, and then turned and left.
Chang Ling took Zhu Meng to a very steep hillside where the vegetation growth was not too strong.
Zhu Meng looked around suspiciously, and said, "Are you sure it's here? Where did the rare spirit beast come from such a ghostly place?"
Chang Ling pushed open the car door and said, "It's meaningless to my cousin, but it's very meaningful to the border guards, because the people living here are not ordinary spirit beasts, but red mountain armor whose scales can be used to make armor. "
At this moment, Zhu Meng suddenly heard a very short whistle.
Immediately afterwards, there was the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes that would be unforgettable forever, and the large black knights who had been ambushing for a long time rushed out from all directions like a tide, and instantly swallowed up a piece of red dot in the distance .
Xi Yun rode his horse and stood on the highest point, apparently seeing Zhu Meng, Chang Ling and others.
Probably because he has been in the north for a long time, his eyes are always as cold as icebergs.His gaze flicked over Zhu Meng first, then landed on Chang Ling behind the car window.
Zhu Meng originally wanted to say hello with a smile, but now, he was suppressed by this gaze and couldn't open his mouth.
"General Xiyun."
Thinking of how difficult it was for Zhu Long to catch up with him, Zhu Meng took a deep breath, but still bit the bullet and opened his mouth.
Xi Yun withdrew his gaze lightly, and said: "This place is dangerous, Second Highness should not stay for long."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving no room for others to say anything. How could Zhu Meng let the opportunity fly away like this, took a few steps forward, and called urgently: "General, stay a step."
Xi Yun only tilted his brows slightly: "Is there anything else the Second Highness wants to do?"
"Don't dare to be." Zhu Meng arched his sleeves and said seriously: "It is Zhu Meng who has admired the general for a long time. Today, he finally saw the general's majesty. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, so he ventured into the general's territory."
Xiyun said without expression: "Your Highness, you made a mistake. This is the fox clan's spiritual realm. It is not my private territory. Everyone can enter. I reminded His Highness to leave, because the beasts are rampant here. If you stay for a long time, it will easily lead to disaster."
Zhu Meng didn't expect that his intention to express his goodwill was so straightforward, Xi Yun was unmoved, every word and sentence was like ice, blocking all flattery and flattery, and did not give him any approach to curry favor Opportunity.Seeing that the other party was about to move away again, Zhu Meng couldn't hold back anymore, and blurted out hastily: "Although beasts are evil, some people are a hundred times and thousands of times worse than beasts. The general must not be deceived by their appearance. As long as the general is willing to fight with them I cooperate, and I guarantee that I can still give the general whatever he can give."
Xi Yun suddenly lowered his face, and said coldly: "The Second Highness has lost his word."
Zhu Meng gritted his teeth, and said: "Even if the general doesn't believe me, doesn't he even care about the son of the old master! Now, now, he and I are both prosperous, and we are both hurt!"
Xiyun turned around, his ice-knife-like eyes fell on Chang Ling again, and when he spoke, he answered Zhu Meng: "Second Highness thinks, if I want to take someone away, who can stop me?"
The implication is that I don't want to take it away.
Zhu Meng was so shocked that he couldn't talk to himself, he just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.He really had no other choice, so he moved out Chang Ling as a living bargaining chip. He held on to the last sliver of hope. Although the border guards didn't care about Chang Ling, they wouldn't really care about Chang Ling's life and death, but Xiyun was like this Said, didn't give him a step down at all, didn't he say that the surname Xi and the border guards were the most loyal to his uncle, Tu Shan Boyan, the old master!
Zhu Meng's ears burned, because this idea came up on the spur of the moment, and he didn't discuss it with Chang Ling beforehand.Now that the little monster is in the car, he must have heard their conversation.Can't take Xiyun down, he really is not human inside and out!
Neither is Zhu Mengjin, nor is it retreating, so I can't hold my breath.At this time, Chang Ling in the cloud car behind him suddenly said: "Cousin, if it is convenient, why don't you let me have a private chat with General Xi."
"you……?"
Zhu Meng frowned, a little hesitant.On the one hand, he doesn't believe that Chang Ling, who in his opinion has become an "abandoned son" in the eyes of the border guards, can have any practical results with Xi Yun.On the other hand, he was afraid that Chang Ling would take the opportunity to play tricks on him again.
After all, he suffered a lot from underestimating this little monster in the past.
Zhang Ling squinted his eyes halfway, as if he couldn't feel the cold eyes of Xi Yun on the opposite mountain, and said very casually: "It's up to people, cousin only has this chance, are you really willing to give up?"
These words were not serious, but they pierced Zhu Meng's heart precisely.Zhu Meng knew that today's Spring Hunting looked peaceful on the surface, but Zhu Long and him were destined to leave this hunting ground alive.If Xi Yun was really brought under Zhu Long's command, he would be buried here.
"it is good."
Zhu Meng squeezed his fist and said, "You come."
For the first time, he didn't say anything threatening, and he waved his sleeves, signaling the accompanying guards to disperse, and retreated with him to wait under an ancient tree a few feet away.
Cangjie hesitated for a moment, not daring to show too much worry, and retreated.
Only then did Chang Ling raise his eyes, and met the two ice-knife-like gazes cast by the stream cloud diagonally above.
Xiyun frowned imperceptibly, turned his back to the foot of the mountain, and stood with his sword.
Chang Ling opened the door, got out of the carriage, and slowly climbed up the mountain.His spiritual power was limited, and he climbed to the top of the hill after nearly a quarter of time.
When Xiyun heard the movement behind him, he said coldly: "The border guards follow your majesty's last wish, and protect the peace of the Fox clan's northern border, not a tool for power struggle."
Chang Ling said: "If the city of Qingqiu is broken, what's the use of protecting only one northern border?"
Xi Yun finally turned around and saw that Chang Ling's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and said tauntingly: "Just now, the young master has the ability to enter my 'qi field', how can he be so tired after climbing a slope?"
Chang Ling pulled the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm a waste, didn't General Xi know it earlier?"
This tone is so familiar, Xiyun can't help but recall that when he sent Junshang's body back to Qingqiu, after the burial ceremony, all civil and military officials in the court knelt in front of Junshang's tomb and wept uncontrollably, except for that little figure in white Standing upright at the front, not a single tear, not a single cry, not even kneeling.
He asked, "Why doesn't the young master kneel?"
The young man replied in a calm to terrible tone: "Your Majesty died for the country, and thousands of his subjects worshiped him, and I am not one of them."
That calm tone with obvious sarcasm is still unforgettable for Xi Yun, and it has also made it hard for the entire border guards to let go of this little young master.
"Besides—"
Chang Ling looked at Xi Yun's eyes and said, "Now that the four clans are dividing up and occupying Qingqiu, the northern border that General Xi is guarding now is not guarding for the Fox Clan, is it?"
Xi Yun withdrew his thoughts, and said with a sigh of relief: "Young master, you don't have to provoke me so much. The last battle, the Sirius Iron Cavalry was indeed impressive, but as long as the border guards survived for a day, they would not stand by and watch. Qingqiu was trampled by foreigners."
Chang Ling said: "In that case, why did General Xi go back to the capital to participate in the spring hunting this time?"
Xiyun finally revealed a bit of a stingy frown, emotionally fluctuating, and said with a deep brow: "Heishan, it's not Zhulong's person, but the young master's person?"
"It doesn't matter."
Chang Ling said without concealing his malice: "The important thing is that General Xi did not defend the northern border for the old master, but allowed the remnant soldiers led by Chu Yunfeng to escape into Qingqiu City."
Xiyun laughed back angrily, nodded and said: "The young master is indeed promising. Although I don't know how much he has improved in cultivation, this city's mental skills are hard for ordinary people to match."
"It's just that people are bound to be strong. Since the young master is willing to condescend to come to me, he must have encountered the same predicament as the minister."
Chang Ling said calmly: "You guessed right, I have a long-cherished wish to fulfill, a great revenge to avenge, but I lack soldiers and horses."
Xi Yun was surprised, and glanced at Zhu Meng, who was standing anxiously waiting in the distance: "Just to help that idiot to the top?"
Chang Ling said: "It's not him."
Xi Yun laughed: "Then who else?"
Chang Ling looked at him and said nothing.
Xiyun vaguely understood something, and his heart skipped a beat.
Chang Ling seemed to read what he was thinking, and said, "General Xi, would you like to make this bet with me?"
Xi Yun was silent for a moment, then said: "If you win the bet, what should the young master do?"
Chang Ling asked back, "What does General Xi want?"
Xiyun said word by word: "According to the rules of the fox clan, please ask the young master to go to the tomb of the king to plead guilty for the past."
Chang Ling twitched the corner of his mouth lightly.
Xi Yun frowned displeased, and said: "Why, if the grievances of the border guards are not appeased, the young master still wants to drive them at will?"
Chang Ling said: "I am not related to you, and I never thought of driving you at will. I will give you better conditions."
Xiyun's eyebrows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, and asked: "What conditions."
Chang Ling said: "The latest spirit crossbow developed by Fu Yu people can help you keep the Qingqiu border safe for 300 years."
**
Seeing Chang Ling coming down the hill, Zhu Meng hurried up to meet him, and asked nervously, "How?"
Chang Ling shook his head.
Zhu Meng's heart sank immediately: "Is he still unwilling?"
"Ugh."
Chang Ling sighed, and said: "He made a condition, and my cousin would definitely not agree to it, so I rejected it on my cousin's behalf."
"Who said I don't want to! Why do you make a decision without asking me!" Zhu Meng was so angry that he couldn't stop talking. He looked up and saw that Xiyun had disappeared into the forest with his sword, and asked anxiously: "What did he propose?" What condition?"
Chang Ling said: "He said that if the cousin really cooperates with him sincerely, he must hand over the guards and private soldiers under his command to him for unified command."
Zhu Meng really changed color.
Chang Ling spread his hands and said clearly: "I said my cousin would not agree."
At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and Cang Jie reminded in a low voice: "Second Highness, I am afraid that it is Mr. Zhu Long who has come after him."
"He came rather quickly!"
Chang Ling closed his cloak and said, "Zhu Long must have come for Xiyun. If he sees his cousin, he may guess his purpose."
Cang Jie also followed closely: "That's right. Second Highness, it's better for us to leave quickly."
Zhu Meng's face was gloomy, and he sneered, "I'm afraid he won't succeed!"
Chang Ling said: "I know my cousin can't swallow this breath, but I wish the Longcheng Mansion is deep and scheming. If he makes a surprise attack or sues uncle before the strike, our plan of pulling wages from the bottom of the pot will come to naught."
"Humph."
A ruthless look flashed in Zhu Meng's eyes: "Then he must have the life to sue. He thought I didn't know how many tricks he had played behind my back all these years."
Chang Ling pretended not to understand what he meant.Zhu Meng clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said, "Go and tell Xi Yun that I agree to his terms."
**
Haruna is divided into two games.
Because he handed over his soldiers and horses, Zhu Meng watched Chang Ling even more closely, and even shared the same tent with Chang Ling during the lunch break.
It's just that compared to his nervousness, Chang Ling seemed extremely heartless. After eating some vegetarian food, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep with his head covered.
How could Zhu Meng sleep? Ever since he handed over the privately made military talisman, he felt as if he had entrusted his wealth and life to others. Drinking tea was not a good taste. Fidgeting and looking outside the tent, hoping to wait for the action signal from Xiyun.
But to Zhu Meng's disappointment, there was no movement from Xiyun until the hunting started in the afternoon.
"What the hell is he planning? Is he going back on his word?"
The more Zhu Meng waited, the more restless he became. Just as he was about to wake up Chang Ling, there was a rush of whistles outside the tent.This is not an ordinary whistle, but a whistle used by the fox clan as a warning, and the direction it comes from is the main camp where the fox emperor Bo emblem is located.
Zhu Meng's eyebrows twitched and he stood up.
Amidst the sound of fighting, Cang Jie hurriedly opened the tent and came in, saying: "It seems that something happened in the imperial tent!"
There was a buzzing in Zhu Meng's mind, and the first thought that popped up subconsciously was: Could it be that Zhu Long sent someone to do it, and he wants to rebel!What about Xiyun, did Xiyun really deceive me and colluded with Zhu Long?
Chang Ling was also awakened by the movement outside, and sat up with his cloak folded.
Zhu Meng sat slumped in the chair and murmured: "It's over, everything is over."
Chang Ling listened for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's not Xiyun, and it's not Zhulong."
Zhu Meng looked at him blankly.
Chang Ling said: "Listen carefully, it's not the black-blooded warhorse of the frontier guards, but the Kuilong beast."
"Kuilong Beast?"
Zhu Meng came back to his senses in horror, and said in a daze, "You mean Chi You people...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure covered in blood staggered in, and when he saw Zhu Meng, he fell to the ground and cried, "Second Highness!"
Zhu Meng recognized that it was Bo Hui's personal servant, and asked anxiously, "What happened to you? Where is my father?"
The servant cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he was kidnapped by the Chiyou people!"
"what?!"
Both Zhu Meng and Cang Jie changed their colors suddenly, Chang Ling also frowned slightly.
This turn of events was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and the attendant immediately took out a token from his pocket, held it up in front of Zhu Meng with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty ordered the slave to hand over the White Tiger Order to His Highness, and ordered His Highness to hurry up." Hurry up and lead the troops to the rescue!"
The White Tiger Order can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the capital, but since Chaser dared to openly rob people, he must have made full preparations. Most of the exits in the spiritual realm have been blocked. Now the White Tiger Order can mobilize those who are currently in the spiritual realm Soldiers and horses, including the group of Zhu Long's men.
Although it happened suddenly, it was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Jedi to fight back. Zhu Meng took the White Tiger Token that seemed extremely hot to him at the moment, even a little unreal. I will betray my father's trust."
"With the Second Highness here, the servant can rest assured."
After saying this, the servant fell to the ground straight and died.
Zhu Meng held the token tightly, his heart beating non-stop, he walked back and forth a few steps, and said to himself, "I have to mobilize troops and horses first."
He was about to walk out of the tent when Chang Ling suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Zhu Meng couldn't slow down, and said impatiently: "I'll talk about it when I come back, right now is my best chance."
Chang Ling said: "Now my uncle has been hijacked, the dragons have no leader, and Zhu Long has been in charge of the army of the capital for many years. Why does my cousin think that those generals will obey you only with a White Tiger Order?"
Zhu Meng turned back in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
Chang Ling said: "What I mean is that uncle's life or death is uncertain, just in case...if the matter really reaches the point of no return, since my cousin can think that this is an excellent opportunity for the Jedi to fight back, how could Zhu Long not think of it? "
Zhu Meng was startled by his question every sentence, calmed down for a moment, then turned back and said, "Then what do you think should be done now? Are you just hiding here and waiting to die!"
At this moment, Cangjie said from the side: "Now the situation is different. The Second Highness's enemies are not only Zhu Long, but also Chi You people. If you can't get a strong army that can compete with these two sides at the same time, you may gain in the end." It's from Chiyou."
Zhu Meng frowned: "You don't need to explain this truth. But now I'm trapped in this ghost place, even if I have the White Tiger Order in my hand, where can I send troops?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Meng regretted again that he shouldn't have handed over his generals to Xi Yun on the spur of the moment, so as to put himself in such a passive and dangerous situation.
"It's not impossible. In my opinion, although the current situation is not good for my cousin, it is also an excellent opportunity to turn against the wind."
Zhu Meng and Cang Jie looked at Chang Ling at the same time.
But Chang Ling said to the outside of the tent: "Come in."
Zhu Meng was more dazed and perplexed when he saw a man in black armor sneak in quietly, bowed slightly to the three people in the tent, and said, "There has been a change in the spiritual realm, Commander Xi invites you to take refuge in the tent."
Zhu Meng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Xi Yun to keep his promise and not be drawn over by Zhu Long.
Excitedly, he wanted to follow the black-armored soldier, but seeing Chang Ling still standing still, he asked puzzledly, "What's the matter with you?"
Chang Ling sighed: "Although the frontier defenders are strong in fighting power, they are at a disadvantage in numbers after all. They may not be able to defeat the double offensive of the Chi You people and the warriors under Zhu Long's command. My cousin has to find a way to mobilize more troops to win the battle." holding."
Zhu Meng glanced at the White Tiger Token in his hand, and said, "I don't think so, but except for those under Zhu Long's command, all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are far away in the royal city..."
"Second Highness." Cangjie knelt down and said, "This old slave is willing to break out of the encirclement and go to Wangcheng to complete the mission for Second Highness."
