Astral Apostle Chapter 244: Opportunity and conspiracy

Published:

On the lake outside the pass, corpses floated one after another, and scattered flags covered the water.

There was a battle just now. Both sides lost some soldiers, and the field was in a mess.

Lu Longchuan had blood on his stomach, took off his helmet, shook his sweaty hair, and let out a sigh of relief, exhausted.

Up until now, he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance, unable to retreat, and he didn’t know when he would see the opportunity to turn to victory.

Without getting rid of Chen Feng, the odds of winning this battle are slim. Real Master Yufeng can only push back the opponent, but cannot kill the enemy one-on-one.

Lu Longchuan couldn’t help but think of the strategy mentioned in the “secret letter from the imperial court”, using the lives of all the leaders to set up an ambush and let Chen Feng fall to the ground…

“This is a thief’s treachery, how can it be in the middle of it.”

He quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought that had just arisen.

Under the support of his personal soldiers, Lu Longchuan descended the city wall all the way. He looked back at the leaders who were instructing their subordinates to clean the battlefield, and frowned.

How could he not notice the subtle changes in the attitudes of the leaders, but the cracks have already formed, and it is difficult to remedy them. Even if he interrogated the imperial messenger, the other party was full of ignorance, but he could not dispel the doubts of some people.

My subordinates are divided, and they want to rely on the art of war to defeat the Dragon King Village in the marching battle. Now they have little hope, and they can only find a way to make a strange move. This battle requires real people to contribute.

Lu Longchuan’s eyes were fixed, and he decided to visit Master Yufeng later to discuss a solution.

However, just as he walked to the central army, a messenger suddenly ran over:

“Report! The big thing is bad, someone wants to assassinate the real person, and the real person specially called me to find the commander to tell the story!”

“What?!”

Lu Longchuan was shocked, and hurriedly strode towards the residence of the real Yufeng, and he arrived there soon.

At this time, this place has been guarded by the disciples of the Tianji faction. Even if he sees this commander coming, he never gives way. Everyone’s faces are filled with righteous indignation.

“Commander Lu! My master has helped you many times, but you have poisoned your food. What’s the point!”

A disciple speaks angrily.

Lu Longchuan hurriedly said: “I don’t know about this matter, and I will definitely investigate it to the end. How is the real person now?”

“Fortunately, Shizun’s profound power reaches the sky and can suppress toxins. There is no serious problem with his body. Now he is meditating and performing exercises.”

“It’s fine if the real person is fine.” Lu Longchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If the red man in front of the sage died of poisoning here, then he would stop fighting the bandits and just start his old job again. Anyway, he would have no good fruit to eat.

“Treading the Star”

“The real person invited me to come and talk, and I would like to inform you.”

Lu Longchuan said quickly.

The disciples of the Heavenly Secret Sect glared at him fiercely, but they still entered the tent and sent a message. They came out after a while and motioned him to enter.

Lu Longchuan hurriedly walked into the tent, and at a glance, he saw the real Yufeng sitting on the couch.

“Commander Lu, you are here.”

Zhou Jing turned his palms to collect the work, opened his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Really, what is going on here?” Lu Longchuan hurriedly asked.

Zhou Jing exhaled and said slowly:

“Not long ago, your subordinates brought meals as usual, and the poor man undoubtedly had him. After a few mouthfuls, he realized that something was wrong. The food was actually poisoned. The poison is colorless, tasteless, difficult to detect, and extremely strong , Ordinary people take it, I am afraid that it will not take a moment to bleed and die, but Pindao has suppressed the poison with all his mana, and there is no danger of life.”

“It would be good if nothing happened to the real person.” Lu Longchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: “This must be the work of the spies in the army, the real person can rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter, find out the inner ghost, and investigate the case. Clear!”

Zhou Jing nodded, then shook his head again, saying:

“The matter was handed over to the commander of Lu. It’s just that Pindao asked you to come and talk, and there are other important things to tell you… This poison is very strong. Although Pindao is proficient in alchemy, he has not studied the use of poison. Dao, can only be removed slowly, I am afraid that during this period of time, I can no longer use magic to fight with the enemy, then if Chen Feng comes again, the poor Dao will not be able to do anything.”

He intends to feign poisoning and withdraw from the war. The excuse that he can make alchemy, but is not good at using poison, whether it is true or false, is a great advantage to the court.

And even if he has the supernatural ability to call wind and rain, he will be controlled by poison like ordinary people, which makes the emperor and courtiers more at ease. I hope that the secret enemy really thinks this trick works, and will continue to use poison to deal with himself in the future.

As for how long I can’t do it… The final interpretation right belongs to me.

“Huh? This…”

Lu Longchuan was shocked and panicked immediately.

There is no real Yufeng to contain Chen Feng, not to mention how strong the opponent’s courage to destroy the city and pull out the village, the morale of his own army will be irresistibly shaken.

These days, Chen Feng’s fights with real people have been shocking and shocking, and he has long frightened his soldiers, and he has no courage to fight with them at all.

For a time, Lu Longchuan hated the poisoned traitor so much that he wanted to go crazy and just want to hack him to death.

At this time, Zhou Jing closed his eyes again and said:

“Pindao has done all his work, let’s go out, Commander Lu, let Pindao adjust his breath, and concentrate on expelling toxins.”

Seeing this, Lu Longchuan had to retire.

Out of the camp, he couldn’t hold back his anger, he immediately ordered to go down and control all the soldiers who were cooking in the back kitchen, and then arrested the people who delivered the meals and tried them all.

It’s not difficult to investigate this matter. Soon, all those who had served real people’s meals were screened out. After careful interrogation a few times, someone finally couldn’t stand the punishment and confessed.

It turns out that long before the expedition, someone privately used money to bribe the logisticians and gave them poison to assassinate real people.

You can’t talk about loyalty, and you can’t earn money in your life. Naturally, you don’t want to refuse, so you do things for others.

As for the people behind the scenes, they haven’t been around enough to reveal their origins to the minions, and their identities are unknown.

But it was obviously impossible for Longwangzhai to be able to do something at that time. Lu Longchuan thought with his ass, and he knew that most of it was done by people in the court.

In order to avoid turmoil in the military, Lu Longchuan wanted to suppress the matter, saying that it was the murder of Longwangzhai by poison.

However, the disciples of the Tianji faction are not under his command, and they spread the truth everywhere and fight against their masters.

It didn’t take long for the leaders to know the news that someone in the DPRK had bribed their soldiers to assassinate the real person.

——I’m waiting to fight on the front line, but the gentlemen in the back want to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and don’t care if it will affect the war! This kind of selfish person who ignores the overall situation is really a traitor of the country, and his face is extremely disgusting!

You can get angry, but as gangsters who have been recruited, they have nothing to do with those old men who take the opportunity to fight for power and profit, and all the leaders have a sense of powerlessness.

And knowing that Yufeng Zhenren wanted to suppress the poison, he couldn’t do it for a while, all the leaders were panicked, and the morale of the three soldiers was shaken.

Actually, even if Lu Longchuan wanted to hide it, he couldn’t hide it at all.

Because on the second day, Longwangzhai attacked again, and Chen Feng invited him to fight, but Zhenren Yufeng changed his previous behavior and chose to avoid it.

Seeing that no one came out, Chen Feng didn’t hesitate, and directly took the lead and led the troops to attack.

On this day, the soldiers and horses of Tianwangzhai finally experienced the horror of Chen Feng.

Even if there are fortifications to protect it, it is broken open by the opponent’s big gun, and it is as fragile as a rotten wood and clay sculpture.

Seeing the other side rushing back and forth in the Ten Thousand Army Conglomerate, no one can stop it, and the disintegrated military spirit of Tianwangzhai collapsed directly.

The situation that could have been stalemate quickly turned sharply. The Tianwangzhai soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they retreated step by step. They had to turn around in the Huyang realm, and were chased and killed by people like a dog, and they were exhausted.

The huge army of Tianwangzhai was like a mess of sand. Under the unstoppable charge of Chen Feng, it began to disintegrate and was eroded step by step.

……

At the same time, the capital, the Purple Palace.

It’s another day in the morning, and the ministers are discussing another memorial that Lu Longchuan wrote a few days ago.

“Your Majesty’s recitation, Lu Longchuan was forced to take the defensive, and it was difficult to continue the bandit campaign. The court should send troops quickly to support.”

Pang Hong bowed with a solemn tone.

A minister smiled and said: “Hey, Pang Shumi has been thinking too much, then Lulongchuan and Longwangzhai are deadlocked, just to kill and injure more bandits, and when they are almost dead, I will send troops later, this is the way for the fisherman to benefit. , why act frizzy.”

Pang Hong said solemnly: “The fighter planes are fleeting. If we wait for Lu Longchuan to retreat, we will send troops again, and the enemy’s momentum is like a rainbow, how can we win?”

“Pang Shumi don’t want to be alarmist, Lu Longchuan’s army will be easily defeated by hundreds of thousands of troops.”

The other minister didn’t care.

The emperor nodded and said slowly: “All the Aiqings are reasonable, but I have sent Shenxiao Fengling to help. If I want to come to Lulongchuan to fight for a long time, now is not the time to send troops.”

He also wants to continue to watch the fire from the other side, and then go to pick peaches when the two sides are seriously injured.

Of course, if Tianwangzhai could directly pacify Huyang, he would be even more happy and save a lot of military expenses.

The ministers agreed one after another, all complacent about this trick, and still thinking about waiting for both sides to lose.

Pang Hong sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to remain silent.

Left Chancellor Lu Wenzong laughed and changed the subject:

“Speaking of which, the real Shenxiao Fengling is really a strange person. According to the front line, his magical powers can change the color of the sky and the earth, and the tornadoes can rush into the sky. It is no match for Chen Feng. Divine martial arts, attracting immortal masters to serve, is indeed the luck of the country.”

The emperor heard the words and stroked his beard with a smile, which seemed to be quite useful.

But in his heart, he is actually a little more apprehensive~IndoMTL.com~ It is really Yufeng Zhenren’s performance in the front line, a bit too shocking, really scary.

The way to check and balance is to check and balance. The emperor doesn’t know what he can use to check and balance the real Yufeng. The group of people in Sitianjian seems to be not enough in front of the real Yufeng.

The ministers did not discuss the battle of Huyang too much, and planned to continue to wait and see, but they quickly retreated today.

Ning Zhongjun returned to the Sitian prison and closed the door with Yin Nan to conspire.

“I don’t know what the current situation is, whether the minions we bought from Tianwangzhai have already attacked Lingfengzi.”

Yin Nan whispered.

Ning Zhongjun pondered: “Calculate the time, it should be almost the same, it is best to directly poison that Lingfengzi.”

“… That Lingfengzi is proficient in alchemy, will he really be tricked?” Yin Nan was a little skeptical.

Ning Zhongjun raised his brows and said with a smile:

“Nine insects heart-devouring sand is a secret that my teaching does not pass down. It was originally a recipe that one of the head teachers found outside. It originated from the Western Border Gu technique. After generations of improvement, it is even more hidden, colorless and tasteless. Even if the silver needle probes it, it cannot be detected. Only by eating it will you know that it is poisoned. It can make people’s blood go against the blood, their eyeballs burst, and they will die on the spot… Unless the spirit of the wind is immune to all poisons, it will never be unscathed. .”

“I still teach this kind of poison?” Yin Nan was surprised, even the middle and senior level of his teaching had never heard of it.

“This prescription is too evil, so I taught my ancestors to seldom use it. This time, to eliminate the enemy, I made an exception to use it.”

Ning Zhongjun nodded, paused, and continued:

“Even if Ling Fengzi was not poisoned, most of his vitality would be severely damaged. I have dispatched lay disciples outside to hide in the surrounding areas of Huyang. Kill, if there is no chance, just wait and see what happens… In short, this time, I will make that Lingfengzi die in the middle of the road, and he will never be allowed to return to Beijing alive after meritorious service!”
