Chapter 300 One general succeeds and thousands of bones wither
Yuanzhou, Fengxian.
Just when Wei Changtian verified based on the system prompts that there was indeed a Tongluo officer named Bai Youheng among the watchmen, the latter was tens of thousands of miles away holding a Xuanjing Division token and bowing his head in deep thought.
This token is of course the one he found from Lao Zhangtou's donkey cart.
The token of the Xuanjing Division was found in the luggage of two fugitives. This is undoubtedly something that goes against common sense.
But for Bai Youheng, what worries him more is Lao Zhangtou's sword.
Although he didn't know why, that sword did give him a very dangerous feeling that made his soul tremble.
As the new successor of "Yam Luo", Bai Youheng naturally knew that the Gu carving that brought him "rebirth" was the culprit that caused the "city destruction tragedy" in Jingning Mansion 120 years ago.
However, he didn't care about it and even planned to repeat this tragedy in Fengyuan.
He was refining the souls of the dead on the Yuanzhou battlefield, and the Gu carving was stealing the souls of those who preserved life in Fengyuan City.
As long as there are no problems with the plan, on July 15th, the Ghost Festival, I can directly jump from the current sixth level to four major realms and enter the second level in one fell swoop.
Bai Youheng didn't think that there would be any problems with Gu Diao who was "doing evil" alone in Fengyuan.
Until a few days ago he found the long sword from Lao Zhangtou's donkey cart.
Could it be that... that old man is the swordsman named Zhou who killed Gu Diao sixty years ago?
But with that swordsman's strength, how could he run away in embarrassment when faced with his own temptation?
"call......"
Taking a deep breath, Bai Youheng couldn't help but think of Wei Changtian again.
Others may not know what Wei Changtian wants to do when he goes to Fengyuan, but he can guess it.
There is no doubt that Li Wutong must have seen that Wei Changtian could defeat Meng Shi with one move, so he wanted to use the latter's hand to see if he could kill the Gu Eagle.
So, should the plan continue?
A mysterious old man and Wei Changtian.
Both of these two people may pose a threat to the Gu Eagle.
But if you give up, you will have to wait until sixty years later if you want to "reach the sky in one fell swoop" again...
"Brother Bai!"
Suddenly, a familiar shout came from outside the tent.
Bai Youheng quickly took the Xuanjing Commander's card back into his arms, looked at the man who came in through the curtain and said with a smile: "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
"Hahaha, Brother Bai, guess what I just heard from the corps leader?"
The man looked excited. Although he gave it up, before Bai Youheng could speak, he couldn't wait to ask and answer: "We can finally have a good rest for a few days!"
"rest?"
Bai Youheng was stunned: "What? Do you want to withdraw your troops? Stop fighting?"
"I don't know whether to fight or not."
The big man smiled and said: "But we have to retreat to Yuanzhou City anyway."
"I guess it must be because we have been unable to attack Feng County for a long time!"
"..."
The attack on Feng County was suspended and the defense of Yuanzhou City was withdrawn.
Regarding Dafeng's "tactical retreat", most people probably thought the same as the man named Li, thinking that it was a strategic change after a long offensive without results.
However, in Bai Youheng's opinion, this is most likely to have something to do with Fengyuan.
If Gu Diao is fine, Fengyuan will definitely evacuate the people in the city. Under such circumstances, it is naturally not appropriate to make major moves in the frontline war.
"Brother Bai, what are you thinking about?"
Looking at Bai Youheng who suddenly fell into deep thought, the man wondered: "We're not going to fight anymore. Why aren't you happy at all?"
"Oh, I didn't think about anything."
Bai Youheng showed a smile: "Brother Li, let me ask you something."
"What's the matter?"
"Well... if there is a once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity in front of you right now, and if you get it, you can reach the top of the world, what are you willing to pay for it?"
"you still need to ask?"
The man curled his lips: "Now I am working my ass off in this poor place just to be a small official. If there is such a good thing, I am willing to pay whatever it takes."
"Then what if..."
Bai Youheng asked again: "What's the cost, the lives of millions of people?"
"this......"
The man looked at Bai Youheng blankly, as if he didn't understand why the latter would ask such an irrelevant question.
However, after a long silence, he still replied viciously:
"One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being wasted. As long as they are not relatives and friends, I don't care what other people's lives are like!"
"..."
"Da da da da!"
The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats passed by, and a corner of the tent curtain was lifted, and the flags and axes outside the tent were faintly visible, neat and majestic.
However, the bloody smell floating in the air brings a vague sense of sadness.
After several days of continuous attacks, no less than 100,000 soldiers were killed on both sides inside and outside Fengxian County. The corpses that had not been restrained in time were scattered in the wild. Even those who were restrained mostly just dug a hole and buried them hastily.
Lifting his head, Bai Youheng gently licked the corner of his mouth.
"Is it......"
...
...
Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.
Sitting alone in the room, Wei Changtian frowned and recalled what Pei Dajun had just said.
A man who was on duty with a gong ended up taking the initiative to go to Yuanzhou to fight?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Wei Changtian felt that Bai Youheng's move must have his own purpose.
But he couldn't guess it, so the easiest way was...
"Squeak!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and an angry Li Wutong suddenly appeared at the door.
"Princess, you have to knock on the door before entering someone else's room. Don't you understand this etiquette?"
Wei Changtian looked over sideways: "If I don't have any clothes on at this moment, what do you think..."
"Aren't you wearing clothes?"
Li Wutong interrupted very forcefully, and then sat down at the table: "Tell me, what do you want from me?!"
"You...forget it."
Asking for help, Wei Changtian temporarily gave in and said, "Princess, you heard what I said to Mr. Pei just now at the watchman's office."
"I hope you can send an order to General Meng Shi and ask him to secretly escort Bai Youheng back to Fengyuan."
"Escort?"
Li Wutong was keenly aware of the key words and frowned: "What did he commit? Or did he have any trouble with you?"
"I can't tell you this right now."
Wei Changtian was afraid that Li Wutong would not cooperate, so he hesitated for a moment and then made nonsense: "I can only say that this person may be related to Yama's affairs."
"What?!"
Sure enough, Li Wutong's face suddenly became serious when he heard this, and he immediately agreed regardless of whether what Wei Changtian said was true or false.
"Okay, I'll give orders to General Meng later!"
"Then there's Princess Lao."
Wei Changtian didn't know that the reason he made up casually was wrong. At this moment, he pretended to be worried and reminded: "You must try your best to be as fast as possible. I'm afraid that things will change if you are too late."
"I see."
Li Wutong nodded quickly and immediately stood up to get ready to handle the matter.
But when she walked to the door and turned around to see Wei Changtian with a "sad face" and "worried" look, she suddenly paused in her steps and felt a trace of guilt in her heart.
Although Mr. Wei is sometimes annoying, he doesn't seem to be as bad-hearted as the rumors say.
He is so worried about the common people that I serve, but I am so cruel to him.
"That, that..."
Standing at the door, Li Wutong suddenly whispered: "I, I will definitely remember to knock on the door next time..."
