Chapter 37 Severe illness

Seeing this, the man in blue robe nodded and said nothing.

As soon as Shu Jiu left, the girls who were kneeling on the ground suddenly felt a lightness on their bodies. The feeling of being watched by tigers and wolves dissipated. For a moment, their limbs became weak. If it weren't for the extremely strict rules of the Marshal's Mansion, they would have been paralyzed immediately.

Fall to the ground.

Mang Tai was also attracted by this small incident, but it only lasted for a moment. Seeing that nothing happened, he quickly frowned again and walked towards the courtyard, and everyone followed him.

.

However, the man in blue robe remained silent until he crossed the courtyard gate and reached the steps of the Jingshe, then he turned to Shujiu and whispered:

"Ajiu, just go and wait for me outside the hospital."

Shujiu didn't care about being called "Ajiu" by others, which was an extremely contemptuous name. He swept his sleeves away and stopped in front of the house.

Upon seeing this, Mangtai also dismissed his personal guards and entered the room with only the man in blue robe.

After they were seated, the servants brought hot wine and snacks. Mangtai waved his hand and ordered them to go down. Then he turned his head and looked directly at the man in blue robe, and asked solemnly:

"why me?"

Although it is a very simple question, the meaning in it is very profound. It is obviously the result of the long examination in the past few days.

The man in blue robe held the wine cup and asked him with a smile: "Why can't he be the commander-in-chief?"

Mang Tai looked at him for several breaths, and the word "Chuan" gradually formed between his eyebrows.

Although Mangtai has the word "Mang" in his name, he is quite sophisticated as a person. This time he was ordered to come to Baishuang City as Marshal Zuo. On the surface, he was decentralizing power, but in fact he had other agendas.

He knew that Marshal Brushfulen on the right was difficult to deal with and that he had a huge force behind him, so he was careful at all times, and he had been in peace for more than a year after entering the city.

Just half a month ago, he suddenly received a tip that something was going on in the mine and that Bush was plotting a rebellion.

Because the incident happened suddenly and was extremely important, Mangtai had no time to make any arrangements, so he only left his eldest son Gude to guard the camp, while he himself went to investigate with hundreds of guards and horses.

Unexpectedly, this was actually a poisonous trick cast by the other party. On the third day after Mangtai and his party entered the mine, they were besieged in a valley.

The terrain of the valley is extremely dangerous, with stone walls on all sides and no grass growing. The people who besieged him have been laying out their plans for a long time and do not take the initiative to engage in battle. They only ambush archers at several key passes. Anyone who breaks through the encirclement will be shot dead by strong soldiers.

Not even the carrier pigeons sent out to deliver the message were spared.

Seeing that there was no way to deliver the message, and the food and water they brought were about to run out, the other party was obviously determined to trap Mangtai there alive. Mangtai himself felt that his chances of survival were slim, and he was about to use his last strength to give it a try.

Suddenly, a martial arts master came by the moon and killed the archers in one fell swoop, then set fire to the enemy formation everywhere.

Coincidentally, the east wind was supposed to prevail in spring, but that night the west wind blew. Mang Tai and the others were in the upper wind. The thick smoke rolled up and blocked the enemy's line of sight. Mang Tai won and took advantage of the situation.

He rushed into the formation and finally fought his way out and survived.

After returning to the city, he did not dare to show his face and only secretly recuperated at home. At the same time, he ordered his eldest son to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He suspected that there was an informant from Brush around him.

Soon after, Gude handed over several names to Mangtai, and after a thorough investigation, only two people were left on the list.

In those few days, two guards in Marshal Zuo's Mansion suddenly died. It was said that they were infected with a severe epidemic. Even their family members were not spared. They died of sudden illness one after another, and their bodies were burned.

Naturally, this so-called epidemic is Mangtai's attitude towards those who betray their master.

Digging out the eyeliner buried beside him did not improve his mood, but made him more depressed.

For several nights in a row, Mangtai couldn't sleep at night, so he had to drink to drown his sorrows. The injuries on his body kept coming back and forth, and they didn't get better at all.

He thought he was cautious enough and thoughtful enough, but he was still ambushed by Bush and almost died. However, he could not make too big a move because his current power was not enough to shake a man who had been rooted in White Frost City for many years.

The Daijin royal family.

If you can't hit the target with one hit, then any unnecessary action will be to hand the opponent a knife.

Of course Mangtai cannot be so stupid.

He is not like those proud sons who were born into noble families. Everything he has now was earned by two generations of his father and son.

It was hard to get, so he had to be more careful about it. His temperament of being rough on the outside and delicate on the inside also came from this, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to his current position step by step.

Originally, I just wanted to stick to the status quo and wait until the time came before making plans, but the other party obviously couldn't wait any longer, and a bright sword and a bright gun came right in front of me, which caught people off guard.

Many of Mangtai's men could no longer hold back and wanted to take revenge. Even the eldest son Gu De, who had always been steady, felt that he had tolerated it for more than a year with little effect. If he continued to tolerate it, he was afraid that the other party would get worse.

In those days, Mangtai felt a sense of internal and external troubles, and was in a very depressed mood.

The night before yesterday, he was hiding in his tent drinking again. When he was feeling troubled, there was a sudden sound of asking questions outside. However, a martial arts master Weiye came to visit and announced that his family name was Shujiu, and that he was the rescuer in the valley.

The master who gave his life.

It is not difficult to prove this.

That night, there was more than one person who saw the master's appearance, and there were also strong martial arts experts around Mang Tai. Some of them remembered Shu Jiu's weapons, and some recognized Shu Jiu's martial arts methods.

Shujiu's sudden appearance relieved the invisible pressure surrounding Mangtai in disguise, allowing him to temporarily escape. Therefore, after Shujiu's identity was confirmed, Mangtai treated him very warmly.

, and seeing that the other party indeed had a unique skill, he had the intention of recruiting him.

However, when Mangtai revealed his intention to Shu Jiu, Shu Jiu said that he had already surrendered to others, and then introduced the man in blue robe to him.

This man claimed to be Wang, Kuang, and Shuji. He was a "Sword Whisperer." The purpose of this meeting was to lead a group of subordinates to help Mangtai defeat Bush and capture Baishuang City.

"Ajiu came to the rescue that night, just to submit a certificate of honor. I wonder if the commander is satisfied?"

When talking about what happened in the valley, Wang Kuang said this.

Mang Tai believed it.

Rather than saying that he believed in Wang Kuang's sincerity, he believed that the other party could never be from Bush.

Conspiracies are usually not that complicated, and the arrogant Brush would never be able to play such a painful trick for his recklessness.

More importantly, Mangtai was frightened as soon as he heard the name of the "Sword Whisperer".

He has heard of this name.

It is said that somewhere far away from the world, there is an extremely mysterious place. No one knows where it is or what its name is. What is known is that this mysterious place sends experts to appear every few or ten years.

.

These people are usually martial arts masters and often make waves in the martial arts world. If there suddenly appears among them, they are mainly "sword whisperers" and "weapon hiders". They are protected by martial arts masters and are proficient in Qimen Dunjia.

, when a group of people are helped by the occultists, it will be troubled times.
