A Clash of Gods

Chapter 1089: Sincerely

Views:

The sword is a famous sword and the sword is a famous sword, but the moves are different.

Chu Cangge's swordsmanship was close to that of fighting on the battlefield, but Qi Ning's swordsmanship came from an unknown sword manual. Even the white feather crane was broken by Qi Ning's sword moves, let alone Chu Cangge.

This sword is an understatement, but there is no way to break it, because in Chu Cangge's eyes, no matter what moves he uses to resist, it will show great flaws and give the opponent a fatal opportunity. However, he does nothing but It's the biggest flaw.

The masters were fighting each other, and there was no time to make a move. Chu Cangge felt a sharp pain like acupuncture in his hand after just such a meal, his hand became weak, and the Dog God Sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Chu Cangge was shocked in his heart. The sword fell out of his hand. Qining only had to take advantage of the situation. He had no way to avoid it. However, Qining did not take the opportunity to draw the sword, but retracted it.

Chu Cangge was startled for a moment, then looked up at the night sky and remained silent.

The officers and soldiers around him were all shocked when they saw Qi Ning using some unknown moves to knock down the sword in Chu Cangge's hand.

Just now, Chu Cangge was slashing all the way, really like the god of death reappearing. Who would have thought that in a moment, the sword in his hand would be shot down by Jin Yihou.

Although Jin Yihou is now well-known, many people know that Jin Yihou is the emperor's favorite after he ascends the throne. There is no theory about Jin Yihou's martial arts, but it is generally recognized that Chu Cangge's martial arts are excellent.

Xue Lingfeng is the commander of the Tiger God Camp in the capital, and his martial arts is also the best among the generals in the capital. However, he was defeated by Chu Cangge just now. Now Chu Cangge was defeated by Jin Yihou again. This shows that Jin Yihou's martial arts are superb.

Everything became quiet, even the two BMWs stood opposite each other, snoring, as if they already knew that the duel was over.

Sima Lan got off the horse, straightened his clothes in front of all the officers and soldiers, then looked at Qining and said, "Take me to see the emperor."

Before Qi Ning could speak, Chu Cangge had already dismounted from his horse and bent down to pick up the sword on the ground. The archers among the officers and soldiers immediately aimed their arrows at Chu Cangge. Xue Lingfeng shouted in a deep voice: "Chu Cangge , are you still stubborn?"

Chu Cangge had no expression on his face. He picked up the sword without looking at the people around him. He turned to Sima Lan and knelt down on one knee, saying: "My lord, I am incompetent. I wanted to protect you, but I fell short. Not only did I not let my lord If you escape, you will implicate the Duke of the country, and your crime deserves death!"

Sima Lan put his hands behind his back, the situation was over, but he appeared calm and composed, saying with a smile: "Cang Ge, I have read countless people in my generation, and I have misjudged many people, but I did not misjudge you, which is really a great blessing in life." He walked forward, patted Chu Cangge on the shoulder, and said warmly: "You have done everything you can do, I feel very relieved." Without further words, he walked towards the emperor's camp.

Xue Lingfeng winked, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward and followed Sima Lan.

Chu Cangge shouted loudly: "Take care, Lord!" But he raised his arm fiercely, and the blade slit his own throat. Blood spurted out.

Qining didn't expect Chu Cangge to be so strong. When he saw Sima Lan leaving, he moved his eyes over and didn't pay attention to Chu Cangge for a moment. When Chu Cangge shouted, Qining knew that something was not good. When he looked over, Chu Cangge Ge had already committed suicide, and it was already too late to stop him. His heart shuddered, and he lost his voice: "Commander Chu!"

Sima Lan paused, seeming to realize something, but did not look back. He closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, but he just nodded slightly: "Very good, very good!" Without saying much, he continued to move forward.

Chu Cangge fell to the ground, and all the officers and soldiers around him also felt sad.

Qining dismounted and walked to Chu Cangge's side. Looking at Chu Cangge lying in a pool of blood, he had mixed feelings for a moment.

To be fair, Qi Ning had no hostility towards Chu Cangge. Although this man was absolutely devoted to Sima Lan and even killed soldiers to take Sima Lan out tonight, it also proved his loyalty and bravery.

He remembered his majestic appearance when he saw him for the first time, and then saw the brave general lying in a pool of blood, and felt sad in his heart.

He didn't dislike Chu Cangge, nor did he have any hatred towards this person. He even respected this person deep down in his heart, but he still wanted to confront him with swords.

"Come here!" Seeing that Sima Lan had gone away, Qi Ning finally ordered: "Carry Chu Cangge's body down and take good care of it. No one is allowed to desecrate his body without the emperor's will."

In fact, all the soldiers saw Chu Cangge's loyalty and bravery tonight, and they admired him deeply in their hearts. Even if Qi Ning did not give such orders, no one dared to show any disrespect to Chu Cangge's body. At that moment, several people came forward. After taking off the scabbard, he carefully carried Chu Cangge's body down.

Qi Ning picked up Chu Cangge's Dog God Sword. In the dim moonlight, the knife was cold and sharp. He took the scabbard and put the knife into its sheath.

Sima Lan came to the emperor's tent. Two groups of Guards soldiers on the left and right of the tent stood upright, holding guns and swords. Sima Lan had already seen Chen Lanting and Huangfu Zheng standing not far away. He glanced at them. The people looked at each other with a look of shame on their faces and bowed to Sima Lan from afar.

Sima Lan just smiled slightly and adjusted his clothes. Chi Fengdian stood in front of the big tent door, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the emperor is waiting in the tent!"

Sima Lan entered the account directly. Inside the tent, Longtai had his back to the tent door and was standing in front of a map.

The map was pasted on a wooden board. It was a map of the territory of Chu, but it was only a rough outline and not detailed. Sima Lan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the emperor."

Longtai did not look back, but simply said: "The Duke, come and take a look."

Sima Lan was also calm and walked over. Longtai glanced at Sima Lan and said: "This is the territory map of our Chu. After I ascended the throne, I remember that the Duke personally gave it to me and asked me to look at it all the time. Every inch of land on the map was conquered by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, who led countless soldiers and shed countless blood. The Duke of Guo told me that the territory of this map is in my hands and can only be expanded. It must not be expanded. If you miss it by an inch, you will be unable to live up to your ancestors."

Sima Lan sighed: "It was not easy for Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong to start a business. After countless bloody storms, the great Chu we are today is, as the emperor said, made possible by the accumulation of bones of countless people."

"I promise you that throughout my life, I will never let my ancestors lose an inch of their kingdom." Longtai turned around and faced Sima Lan: "I will inherit your wishes and lead the people of Da Chu to expand the territory. And we will definitely defeat the Northern Han Dynasty and the Eastern Qi Dynasty."

Sima Lan nodded and said: "If the emperor can complete such a grand plan, I think all the former emperors and the soldiers who shed their blood for the great Chu will be very happy under Jiuquan."

Longtai smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord, I can definitely do it."

Sima Lan smiled and said: "The emperor has great ambitions and extraordinary means. As long as he is governed properly, I believe that the emperor can do it."

Long Tai pondered for a moment and then said: "Since Emperor Taizu, the Duke has been following Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. Over the past few decades, he has made countless contributions. I know that the soldiers who conquered cities and territories on the front line have indeed made outstanding achievements, but without the Duke. If we were strategizing from afar, our great Chu would not be where we are today. When the late Emperor was here, he told me that as long as the Duke of the country is loyal to the country, he should not be wronged and treated as an elder."

Sima Lan raised her hands to the sky and said, "The late emperor was considerate of the old ministers. When the old ministers go to Jiuquan, they also want to express their gratitude to the late emperor."

Longtai raised his hand and said, "I know that Mr. Guo likes to drink tea during the day. Here is the Yunwu tea that Mr. Guo likes to drink on this day. I brewed it myself. Please try it."

The two walked to the shore and sat down cross-legged across from each other. Tea was placed on the table. Sima Lan took a sip from the cup and said with a smile: "Good tea!"

Longtai smiled and said: "As long as the Duke likes it."

Sima Lan put down the teacup and said, "How does the emperor plan to deal with the old minister?"

Long Tai pondered for a moment, then said: "I want the Duke of Guangzhou to go to Daguangming Temple to worship Buddha and chant sutras. I wonder what the Duke's wishes are?"

Sima Lan shook his head, Longtai frowned and said, "The Duke is unwilling?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Sima Lan sighed: "It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I feel that if the Emperor does this, then your grand plan to pacify the world just now will not be completed."

"oh?"

Sima Lan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is hesitating. You took action this time because you wanted to kill the old minister. But when the matter came to an end, when you saw the old minister, you thought of some of the past, so you couldn't bear it. You wanted to kill the old minister, but you couldn't bear it. Kill, but I know that if I don't kill the old minister, I will still be in trouble in the future, so I am hesitant in my heart. This is not what a Holy Lord should do." He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Your Majesty, one general will make thousands of bones wither, and one general will die. If the emperor wants to achieve great things, he should never forget that he is an emperor. In order to achieve great things, all obstacles in the way must be cleared away. There is no mercy."

Long Tai frowned slightly, and Sima Lan leaned forward slightly and said, "If you don't kill the old minister, aren't you worried that the old minister will make a comeback? The old minister's disciples and old officials are all over the world. As long as the old minister does not die, their hearts will not die. Once they find the opportunity, the old minister will As long as you live long and take action again, you can always bring trouble to Da Chu. At that time, if the emperor wants to kill the old minister, the price he has to pay will be much more than it is now."

Longtai sighed: "The Duke wants to make a comeback?"

"How many people in the world are willing to fail?" Sima Lan also sighed: "To be honest with the emperor, I failed this time. Firstly, I underestimated the enemy too much. I didn't expect that the emperor had such thunderous methods. Secondly, it was also because of the emperor's methods. It's really clever." He put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Actually, the emperor indulged in wine and sex in the palace, so I knew that the emperor had good intentions, but I thought that the Northern Expedition was about to happen, and everything in the court, big and small, was under my control. Since the emperor tolerated After such a long time, I will definitely continue to endure it. I never expected that the old minister would go to Ping Ping Lin Qiu Shou, but he would be used by the emperor, and this place would become the burial place of the old minister himself. "
