Ruixiang's words made the atmosphere in the entire conference hall freeze instantly, and many generals stared at him with fierce eyes. Most of these people have followed Luo Bingfeng for many years and are loyal. Although allegiance to Luo Bingfeng is equivalent to allegiance to Zhang Buzhou, but since Zhang Buzhou appointed the wolf king, he has gradually become less popular. There was a clear line between Luo Bingfeng and the wolf king, which won the loyalty of a large number of human generals.
There have long been rumors in the army that Zhang Buzhou had an accident in his cultivation, so he has retreated for many years without any results. And Luo Bingfeng's strength has already caught up with Zhang Buzhou.
A cold light flashed in Du Yuan's eyes, and he said slowly: "The king of heaven is the co-lord of everyone, everyone knows this, there is no need to say more."
"Do you know, I'm afraid not necessarily."
Du Yuan ignored Rui Xiang's cynicism, and continued: "Although our neutral ground is located in a different area, it is still difficult to resist the all-out attack of Yong Ye and the Empire. Now that the King of Heaven has been in seclusion for a long time, the strength of his subordinates is actually not as good as before. Not to mention unnecessary loss. Master Rui, why do you insist on fighting this battle, can you explain it more clearly?"
Rui Xiang sneered and said, "Why, are you afraid of a little boy blocking the door?"
Du Yuan said coldly: "It's not a matter of being afraid or not, it's about fighting the battle clearly! I'm afraid that some people will carry out their own selfish interests under the banner of the Heavenly King. When the Heavenly King leaves the customs, everything will come to light, but What if some people escaped before then?"
Rui Xiang's face was ashen, he snorted, stood up, and said: "Since Commander Du said so, then the differences are not colluding, the old man bid farewell!"
After finishing speaking, Rui Xiang walked away, ignoring the angry eyes of the generals of the city guards who were about to burst into flames.
All the generals were angry, but they also knew that they could not force Rui Xiang to tell him what happened. After all, Ruixiang is still nominally the head of the Heavenly King's Mansion who is walking outside, just like the incarnation of the Heavenly King.
As soon as Ruixiang left, the people in his department also left. Only the city lords were left in the meeting hall.
A general asked, "Commander, what should we do now?"
"Send someone to investigate the backgrounds of those young people first, the more detailed the better, maybe from this we can deduce why Ruixiang made a sudden move. Especially Qianye and the young man who was arrested, I want to know Everything related to them." After speaking, Du Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for that Qianye, no matter what background he has, since he called the door like this, he will be killed. If necessary, I will personally strike."
All the generals immediately cheered up, feeling that the bad breath suppressed in their chests had just come out a little bit.
But Zhu Meng said: "Commander, Qianye may not be easy to deal with. That old thief Ruixiang is as treacherous as a ghost. After fighting Qianye once, he avoided fighting in every possible way. There must be a reason. Before that, The commander-in-chief is still cautious."
When he said this, several generals clamored and accused Zhu Meng of being timid and timid. These people were all Du Yufeng's subordinates, and when Du Yufeng died in battle, their status would naturally decline, so they had a lot of resentment towards Zhu Meng.
Du Yuan waved his hand lightly, stopped the crowd, and said: "Two deputy commanders, I will leave the hunting and killing of Qianye to you, and General Zhu will assist you. If there is any place where I need to take action, call me again."
The two deputy commanders and Zhu Meng stood up to take orders, and this military meeting ended.
Zhu Meng came out of the meeting hall, feeling the depression in his chest was hard to calm down. Discussions came and went, but there was still no result. My three hundred brothers still didn't know why they died.
After walking not far, a person came in a hurry. When Zhu Meng saw it, he hurried up to greet him, and said, "Boss Luo!"
It was Luo Yun who came. Seeing that it was Zhu Meng, he stopped and said, "General Zhu, what's the deal? How did the discussion go?"
Zhu Meng smiled wryly and said, "How could there be a result? Manager Rui killed him and refused to explain why he wanted to arrest that young man. By the way, Manager Luo, do you have any orders from the city lord?"
Luo Yun sighed, and said: "The city lord wanted to ask about this matter, but he was stopped by that person, and there is nothing I can do."
Zhu Meng lowered his voice, and said: "Could it be that the woman and Director Rui are in the same group? We should work together from the inside to the outside, so as to make the city lord empty?"
Luo Yun was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What nonsense! This kind of thing can also be guessed randomly? Don't say that the city lord has a great favor for us, we can do whatever he tells us. Taking a step back, that person has a deep skill in deducting secrets from heaven and earth. Unfathomable, the pure power of Liming is the only thing I have seen in my life, maybe it is even higher than the city lord. Such a person, if you talk about it behind your back, aren't you afraid of being sensed by her?"
Zhu Meng snorted, and said: "So what if I know! I, Zhu, am not a person who is afraid of death. Besides, I have always been loyal to the city lord, what can she do to me?"
Luo Yun sighed: "General Zhu, this matter is different from marching and fighting. In front of the city lord, even I can't speak now. If the city lord doesn't call, I can't even get close to the small courtyard. Even if you are loyal, you must let me Only the city lord knows."
The more Zhu Meng thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he stomped heavily.
Luo Yun said: "I still have important things to do, so I'll take my leave."
Seeing the direction Luo Yun was heading for, Zhu Meng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Could Director Luo be going..."
"I'm going to Nanqing."
Zhu Meng didn't know what to say, so he had to get out of the way. Seeing Luo Yun's disappearing figure, he scratched his head vigorously, suddenly feeling as if he didn't know where to use all the strength in his body.
The night was falling, the lead clouds were pressing down on the city, the wind was muffled and whistling, but Tingchao City was brightly lit and full of drums and drums. Squads of city guards moved back and forth, heading out of the city.
Seeing that many generals who seldom show up in front of people on weekdays are all dressed up, the people in Chaocheng know that the upper echelon is really angry.
After leaving the city, the city guards of the brigade searched and advanced along both sides of the road, and continued to occupy commanding heights. The whole operation was orderly, showing that the commanders really had real talents and practical learning.
The actions of the city guards were like laying a large net, gradually reducing Qianye's activity space. Once Qianye made a move, his whereabouts would be revealed immediately, and the strong men hidden in the army would swarm up like beasts smelling blood, tearing Qianye to pieces.
Before dawn, the defense of the city guards had been completed, and all important positions on the commercial road leading to the southwest of Chaocheng were occupied. No matter how powerful Qianye was, it would be difficult for him to threaten the caravan on the passage under such circumstances.
At this moment, on the top of a hill next to the road, several city guard officers surrounded the strong man. The operation is under the command of the deputy commander. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was like an eagle's, sweeping across the vast and undulating land.
"No news yet?" he asked.
"No. Our people are all in place and are searching the area around the station, but so far, nothing has been found, nor the place where he camped or stayed."
The deputy commander frowned and said, "Where are those killers, mercenaries, and hunters?"
"The killers have been released a long time ago, and they should be in place now. The hired mercenaries have also arrived in their respective areas and started to move. The hunters are all moving freely, and now the subordinates don't know where they are. But still From the opinion of my subordinates, maybe these hunters will find out first."
The deputy commander's face eased slightly, and he said: "Yes, they are all scavenging hyenas in the wilderness, and they are the most difficult to deal with. If you want to deal with Qianye, you have to find them. Just wait, I don't think it will be long before we will There will be news."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light jumped up in the distance, dazzlingly bright!
This blue light spanned nearly a kilometer, passed through a city guard stronghold, and landed on the top of a hill. Seeing the place where the blue light fell, the deputy commander lost his voice: "Not good, Lao Meng!"
The deputy commander flew up and rushed to the hill after a while. Several generals followed.
Outside the temporary camp on the top of the hill, a burly man fell to the ground with his back to the sky, his eyes wide open, still not deep in sight. Dressed in the uniform of an ordinary soldier, he fell on his post, with a huge open wound on his chest, silently talking about the ferociousness of that shot.
The deputy commander's eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "How did he find out the identity of Lao Meng!?"
The surviving soldiers in the camp were trembling, how could they know the answer? Another general next to him said, "It's probably Lao Meng's bad luck."
The deputy commander nodded slowly and sighed. Lao Meng has always been cautious, and is good at disguising and hiding his aura. This time, he is one of the key ambush men. He has even changed his appearance. Except for a few senior generals, no one knows which unit he is in. The deputy commander specially placed him on the outskirts, because he wanted to use his ability to ambush Qianye, and hit him hard when Qianye was escaping. It's just that he didn't expect that such an important shadow would be sniped before the battle started.
He looked towards the place where the blue light was lit, but he knew that Qianye was definitely no longer there.
The deputy commander's face turned serious, and he turned his head and said, "Let the caravan go. He fired this shot. There should be no second shot in a while."
The general next to him hesitated, and said, "Isn't it a little too risky? Just in case Qianye can't help but make a move..."
"Then just capture him and kill him! If he doesn't come out, then we transport a caravan under his nose, which is equivalent to slapping him in the face, and a caravan is a slap in the face." The deputy commander said every word.
"Leader Gao Ming!"
A moment later, hundreds of heavy-duty trucks drove out of Tingchao City and headed south. This is a caravan composed of more than a dozen caravans, with various emblems, most of which are trucks, and there are only a few armed escort vehicles.
In a pile of rocks not far from the road, a rock suddenly moved, revealing a pair of eyes.
In fact, Qianye didn't pretend much, he just put on a cloak of the same color as the rock environment. But his aura has not leaked out, and in the eyes of ordinary people, there may still be flaws, but in the eyes of strong people who rely on perception, they will turn a blind eye to Qianye, subconsciously thinking that he is a stone.
On the top of the hill, there is a hunter lurking at this moment, constantly observing the surroundings. He held the signal gun tightly in his hand, as long as he found something, he would send out the signal immediately.
The hunter was actually only thirty meters away from Qianye, but he didn't notice Qianye's existence at all.
