The four of them were fighting here, not caring about the chase at all. I don't know that the retreating team of Qi State over there is actually in order.
Because of Wu Zhe's presence, the Qi warriors retreated like a military corps. Sometimes retreat with all your strength, sometimes lure the enemy deep, sometimes counterattack, and sometimes divide and cooperate.
"Be careful! People from Qi State are encircling you from behind!" A moon-rank saint from Wu State exclaimed.
He was chasing the Qi people together with a few warriors, but unexpectedly, the other party sent a man to ambush them, and came back and forth.
Because of the lack of a strong leader, although the warriors of the Wu Kingdom cannot be said to be scattered, they are definitely intercepting in a scattered manner. This gave Wu Zhe ample opportunity to use the art of war.
After chasing for fifty miles, the Qi people's retreat speed did not drop much. On the contrary, among the masters of Wu Kingdom, they lost a moon-level saint and several *star masters.
was captured. Wu Zhe deliberately told the Great Elder and others not to kill him.
"Retreating in the enemy's territory, don't push the opponent into a hurry. Our counterattack is not to destroy the opponent's vitality, but to make the opponent attack the mouse." Wu Zhe said: "With this moon-level saint and the old man in our hearts, I feel more at ease."
"Don't worry about what?" Lu Yourong, who was carrying Princess Youyou behind her back, didn't understand. The eldest sister among the gold and silver mothers-in-law, Jin Granny, was puzzled and said, "Our weakest is also a seven-star expert, so we are still worried about the rain of arrows?"
"Of course it won't hurt. But the rain of arrows deliberately clamps down on our retreat route. It can also lock us in and make it difficult for us to move." Wu Zhe looked around and said with a smile, "Okay, senior brother Shu Yujian and the others joined in."
A large number of Dazzling Star disciples began to join the team. Many of them were injured. Wu Zhe arranged for Elder Fu Ling to give simple treatment.
Of course Wu Zhe didn't dare to release his vitality. Although this was the most convenient and fastest way of treatment, he was worried that his identity would be leaked, so he could only ask his senior brothers to endure it.
The retreat speed of the team became slower, and Wu Zhe was anxious.
Because he was worried that Emperor Xuanwu mobilized the army.
She arranged for the elder of the sword-wielding sect with the fastest footsteps, a moon-rank saint, to quickly inspect the surroundings.
When I came back to report to Wu Zhe, I didn't find any signs of the army.
Wu Zhe felt strange in his heart. Could Emperor Xuanwu be so honest
She didn't know that there was something wrong with Wu Guo at this time.
In the palace. Emperor Xuanwu slammed the teacup on the ground: "Bastard! You actually told me that the tiger talisman that mobilized the army was lost?!" One of them boldly explained: "I don't know why, the warrior guards around us were killed. People were knocked down. We were also knocked unconscious. When we woke up again, we found that the tiger talisman that led the soldiers... was lost!"
"The ministers dare not hide anything, so hurry up and report to the emperor. Please punish the emperor!"
Emperor Xuanwu stared at them and did not speak for a moment.
At this time, another spy chief came in quickly: "Your Majesty, Princess Youyou has been robbed!"
"By whom?!" Xuanwu Huang suddenly stood up.
The spy chief took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is reported that it is Xiao Ruoyao again..."
"Xiao Ruoyao again?!" Emperor Xuanwu pressed hard on the Longshu table with his hand.
With a click, the ancient paulownia wood desk is stronger than steel. It was actually crushed.
After listening to the report of the spy chief, Emperor Xuanwu knew that it could never be faked. His question is just feeling, this Xiao Ruoyao is simply a variable.
Several generals who are still kneeling. My heart beat even more. The three of them lost the Tiger Talisman, and they should have been beheaded in the first place. If Xiao Ruoyao makes the emperor angry, maybe he will kill the whole family.
At this time, Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand: "Go down! Remove the feathers on your head and wait for your hair! The original tiger talisman is abolished, and someone will do it immediately."
"Zunzhi—" Several generals retreated tremblingly.
"Speak quickly!" Emperor Xuanwu stood beside the Longshu case. Urge the spy chief.
The spy leader really wanted to report urgently, but he was afraid that the emperor would be too angry if he said it.
Because the truth is that the spy leader himself can't believe it.
The initial feedback from my subordinates. It's too unbelievable. It is acceptable for Xiao Ruoyao to appear, but why did she advance again? And it directly injured two masters of the Xuanyue rank!
Only ghosts believe it, Xiao Ruoyao was struck by lightning a month ago! She was lucky if she survived, but now she is alive and kicking, and her skills are fully restored or even exploded
But he went to verify it himself just now, and even listened to the statement of Long Lao who had been rescued and recuperated, so he was sure that all this really happened.
He didn't dare to raise his head, and knelt down on one knee to report to Emperor Xuanwu: "Return to the emperor, it has been found out that Xiao Ruoyao broke into Tiandi Pavilion and rescued Princess Youyou. Elder Long failed to intercept on the spot, and she ran away with Princess Youyou. "
"Just let her escape like this?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.
"On the way to chase, Elder Long was injured by Xiao Ruoyao's invisible sword energy?"
"What? Invisible sword energy?!" Emperor Xuanwu was taken aback.
"It's indeed invisible sword energy." The spy leader knew the name of this trick, after all, it was Long Lao who said it himself, and they all knew that this trick was actually recorded in Xiao Ruoyao's "Tianlong Babu".
"Could it be..." Emperor Xuanwu's expression changed.
"Your Majesty guessed right, it's exactly..." the spy chief said solemnly: "Six, pulse, god, sword..."
"It's this trick..." Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a long time and asked again: "Did Mang Lao and others stop it?"
"The emperor, Xiao Ruoyao, is very powerful." The spy chief said, "Mr. Mang's two moves were captured by Xiao Ruoyao, and his limbs were broken..."
"How is it possible!" Emperor Xuanwu couldn't believe it.
Even if he has profound energy, he has no chance of winning against Mang Lao. And Xiao Ruoyao was able to capture the enemy with two moves? Is she possessed by the Sovereign of the Sword Fighting Sect
The spy leader replied: "every sentence is true, I am afraid that I may be wrong, so I arranged three groups of men to investigate, and they all returned the same."
The spy chief told the story of the chase in the suburbs again.
What he said was quite accurate, without any mistakes or omissions. Of course, for Wu Zhe's espionage, analysis errors are inevitable.
The expression on Emperor Xuanwu's face did not change, but he did not speak for a long time.
The spy leader looked at Emperor Xuanwu, inferring that he was afraid that he would be very angry and that he would not be able to vent his anger, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the situation can still continue to act as planned. I suggest that the generals who have committed crimes and meritorious deeds just now should immediately take back the tiger talismans." Go to lead the double team."
"..." Emperor Xuanwu thought quietly for a long time, and finally sat down slowly.
"Your Majesty, it will be too late..."
"Since the tiger talisman will be lost, it means that Xiao Ruoyao has already arranged extraordinary manpower to prepare. She has already seen through our plan." Emperor Xuanwu is worthy of being a seasoned king with decades of experience, sighed, After careful analysis: "If you do it reluctantly, I'm afraid it will increase the loss."
Poor Emperor Xuanwu didn't know that Xiao Ruoyao hadn't arranged for the robbery of the Tiger Talisman to obstruct the march.
Wu Zhe came back from the border and temporarily participated in the rescue operation. How could he arrange manpower in advance to prevent Emperor Xuanwu from dispatching troops
Moreover, is it easy to prevent the deployment of troops on weekdays? Fortunately, a large number of masters today were messed up by Wu Zhe and others. Moreover, the two masters of town defense, Long Lao and Mang Lao, were both severely injured, which made it possible to snatch the tiger talisman.
This made Emperor Xuanwu's deduction seriously deviated.
"...Xiao Ruoyao is really powerful." Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu could analyze so calmly, the intelligence leader felt a little relieved, and had to say: "A move of the army is no small matter. Once the war is launched, if it returns without profit, it will hit the morale of the Wu Kingdom even more. "
"That's right." Emperor Xuanwu hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "I will pass on my will, and just now the three generals will be demoted to three ranks, and they will temporarily receive their original positions, and their one-year salary will be revoked."
"Observe the order." The spy leader wrote it down in his mind.
Emperor Xuanwu ordered again: "Send someone to urgently tell the masters of the Sanshengzong and the palace guards who chased the people of Qi in the suburbs to withdraw them all. Then send the etiquette officer to pack up all the things that Princess Youyou of Tiandi Pavilion left behind and couldn't take away. Send them all over."
This means that Xuanwu Emperor is really generous.
He was able to calmly analyze after failure and minimize the loss. Even arranging to send the other party's things when he was imprisoned, which means it is really special.
"The minister obeys the order." The espionage leaders obeyed one by one.
Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu hadn't spoken for a long time, and the spy leader was about to leave, Emperor Xuanwu actually called him back: "Wait, recall Zhou Zhiruo, Princess Qing, and Dugu Mo from the border negotiations. Tell them to rush back no matter what the situation is." .”
"Observe the order!" The spy leader's heart shuddered, knowing that this order was unusual.
"Xuan Yuan Healing Palace Qin Palace Master again. I guess she is treating Long Lao. Later, announce her to come to me." Xuanwu Emperor stroked his chest with his palm: "My heart hurts, I'm afraid I'm in some trouble."
"Your Majesty!" The spy chief turned pale with shock when he heard this, "I'm going to pass on to the imperial physician immediately!"
"They're useless!" Emperor Xuanwu shook his head and said, "Unless Yuan Healing is still promising, those prescriptions of medicine and stones will not be able to catch the pain in the heart."
The spy chief understood that Emperor Xuanwu's cultivation of profound energy was not low, and he had already looked inside himself. It must have been discovered where the blood was stagnating, and that's why the master of the Qin Palace of Yuan Healing Hall came to heal him.
"The imperial physician's recuperation is essential, so I'll pass on to the imperial physician!" The intelligence chief didn't listen to Emperor Xuanwu on such matters, and rushed out to make arrangements.
He didn't even have time to take care of the three generals, so he just asked his subordinates to do it quickly.
Hearing that Emperor Xuanwu was ill, the hospital went crazy. Several imperial doctors on duty lost their shoes. The top imperial physician who lives outside the palace is also desperately trying to inform her to come.
It's a pity that they don't know, Emperor Xuanwu doesn't trust them at all.
"The emperor must take care of the dragon body."
At this moment, Emperor Xuanwu was lying on the dragon couch under the care of Chief Peng and other eunuchs.
This emperor presents an unprecedented sense of aging...
