Chapter 397 The situation in the North is turbulent
After breakfast, Ye Feng and Hong Qingyan got into the domestic off-road vehicle with the license plate number "North 00001", and then left Beiyunju and headed northwest.
As soon as the car drove out of the gate, the spies hiding in every corner immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, probably rushing back to report.
Of course, the fastest one was the General's Mansion. An old man in gray swooped into the inner courtyard, and then arrived at the study. After a brief report, he opened the door and walked in.
At this moment, General Duan Tian was sitting at his desk with a golden sword in his hand, holding a piece of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, but he was not looking at it. His blurred eyes were probably thinking about something.
The old man in gray came in and knelt down directly and said: "Your Majesty, there is something moving over at Beiyunju, one car, two people!"
"Two people, which two people?" Duan Tian looked sideways and asked. He had also received the news last night and knew that there was no peace in the northern border. There was likely to be some action next, so he expected that the Northern King Ye Feng would definitely return.
, but he didn't expect that the other party would take his time and delay his departure until this morning.
What made Duan Tian even more unexpected was that His Highness the Northern King actually sent several of his legion commanders and escorts back to the North last night, but he went alone this morning, which made him think very much.
Doesn't make sense.
After all, the current situation is that Northern King Ye Feng has just won the martial arts competition, which is attracting everyone's attention. At this moment, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at him, and there are many people who want his life, but this guy is lucky enough to be alone.
Hit the road.
"King Bei and his princess, just these two people!" The old man in gray said this, and suddenly said: "My lord, should we continue to follow up?"
"No, pull people back immediately."
Duantian suddenly waved his hand and said coldly: "I can't believe that this boy named Ye is so courageous. Or maybe the paleness in Gyeonggi last time wasn't enough for him to learn a lesson?"
The old man in gray clothes said: "My lord, do you mean that someone may attack the Northern King next?"
"It's not a possibility, but a certainty!" Duan Tian sneered slightly and snorted: "As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind. This kid has been too aggressive during this period. Not to mention, the nine major sects of Guwu alone want him dead.
Not a few."
The gray-clothed old man pondered and said: "In that case, Your Majesty, the Northern King has grown so fast recently, and I believe he will soon compete with you, so why don't we take the opportunity..."
When he said this, Duan Tian suddenly shouted: "It's best to put away your petty thoughts. Let me tell you, it's true that I and Northern King Ye Feng are in a competitive relationship now, but don't forget our identities.
With the responsibilities we carry on our shoulders, even if he and I are really on the same page in the future, I will not use dirty tricks!"
At this point, Duan Tian shouted: "Send the order and withdraw the people immediately. We don't need to follow up on this matter. As for whether the boy named Ye will die next, it doesn't matter what we care about. Of course
, as for this general, I hope he dies as soon as possible so as not to irritate me when he returns to the imperial capital!"
The old man in gray clothes didn't quite understand. The conflict between the Northern King and the general was getting more and more serious now, so why didn't he take advantage of the opportunity to take action? Wasn't this opportunity wasted?
Of course, as the saying goes, different situations have different thoughts and ideas. Although General Duantian wishes that Northern King Ye Feng died now, he will never do it himself. Rather than saying that General is aboveboard, it is better to say that he cares.
Feather, I don’t want to leave any criticism for myself, so as not to be caught by others when I enter Tianyong Pavilion in the future.
Just as the old man in gray clothes left the study, a guard hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands and said: "General, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
"Who is it?" Duan Tian asked without raising his head.
"I don't want to reveal it, but based on the clothes and aura, they should look like people from the secular world. There are three people here, and the lowest cultivation level is the fourth level of Shinto."
"People from the Guwu sect, what are they doing here!" Duan Tian had to put down the art of war book in his hand, then stood up, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lead them to the reception hall, why don't we invite them to the study?
bring it on."
There were many people in the reception hall, and it was obviously not a place to discuss important and secret topics, but it was different in the study room. Duan Tian vaguely sensed that the Guwu Sect came to visit this time, probably because of something important.
In fact, there were not just three people, but five people. After all, Duan Tian was a general, and he had seen a lot of people. He immediately knew after just one glance that the three old men among them were from the ancient martial arts sect.
, respectively the deputy sect masters or deputy heads of the Confucian sect of the Holy Palace, the Dao sect and the Ming sect.
As a general, Duan Tian was also considered a member of the Tianyong Pavilion, but he had never had many interactions with people from the Guwu Sect, so he could not have imagined for a moment that the top officials of these three major sects came to him about what they were talking about.
The other two people were not from the Xuanyuan Kingdom. One was a shaman from the Snow Wolf Kingdom, and the other was a warrior from Fusang. The two of them wore gorgeous clothes and had a long-lasting aura, and they were also people with advanced cultivation.
Seeing that these two strong men from the Snow Wolf Kingdom and Fusang came together with people from the three ancient clans, Duantian really couldn't figure out when the ancient martial arts clan got together with the people from the Snow Wolf Kingdom and Fusang.
.
"Everyone, please take a seat. I don't know what these people are calling me for. I am from the army, so please just get straight to the point!" Duan Tian sat back at the desk again.
The deputy palace master of the Confucian Sect Holy Mansion smiled and said: "I have heard the name of General Duantian for a long time, and today I saw that he is truly worthy of his reputation. He is really powerful!"
At this point, seeing Duan Tian not answering, he immediately understood that the other party was a straight-headed person, so he immediately said: "That's right, the general must already know that Beiyun Ju has left just now. If so,
If the information is good, I should be preparing to return to the north."
Duan Tian chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that people from your ancient martial arts sect would be so concerned about worldly affairs. This really surprises me."
The deputy palace master of the Confucian sect smiled and said: "Normally speaking, we don't interfere with matters in the secular world, but when it concerns the Northern King Ye Feng, we have to ask."
Speaking of this, the deputy palace master said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, a man of knowledge does not tell secrets, so I will get straight to the point. The general must also know that now the so-called King of the North has become famous, and he has even faintly surpassed...
It means being above the general. Doesn’t the general have some ideas in his mind?”
Duan Tian chuckled and said: "What can I have in mind? Northern King Ye Feng's rise to fame is because he has the strength and he deserves it. This general is naturally convinced."
Before he knew the purpose of the other party's visit, Duan Tian just laughed and joked. This was a common method of talking about trouble. In short, it was to make the other party unclear about his true thoughts.
The deputy master of the Holy Palace stopped talking because he really couldn't grasp the other person's thoughts, so he turned to look at the others.
The deputy sect leader of Daozong smiled slightly, and suddenly turned his hand, and a beautiful and ancient brocade box appeared in his palm. The box opened with a snap of his fingers, and then a small silver sword was revealed inside.
In an instant, the temperature of the entire study dropped a lot. Everyone felt a biting chill, and even goosebumps appeared in their pores. Duantian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately knew that this sword was not an ordinary sword.
The deputy sect leader of the Taoist sect smiled and said: "This is a semi-spiritual weapon, but it is an incredible treasure. I wonder if the general likes it?"
Duan Tian's heart was naturally very excited, but his expression remained as usual as he said, "Tell me your reasons for coming."
At this time, the strong shaman from the Snow Wolf Kingdom suddenly said in a very poor Chinese: "I believe that the general has now received the news that our Snow Wolf Kingdom is planning to attack the northern border. In addition, there are Fusang Kingdom and other Western countries.
There will even be people from the Guwu Sect this time."
Speaking of this, the Fusang strongman said in a deep voice: "We have only one request. Once the North cannot resist the attempt to ask for help from the general, we just hope that the general can find an excuse and stand still."
"This can't be done!" General Duantian flatly refused, but his eyes were still looking at the spiritual sword in the brocade box. At this time, everyone could naturally see that he was very jealous.
After thinking about it, Duan Tian said: "I am a general of a country after all. How can I do such a thing? However, I am in charge of the Central Plains and I will never take action easily. After all, as long as I make a move, it will affect the safety of the imperial capital."
At this point, Duan Tian seemed to realize that he didn't quite understand the reminder to him, so he said a little speechlessly: "If you want me not to come to the rescue, you have to have a reasonable excuse, otherwise the moral public opinion will not be able to deal with this.
Do you understand?"
At this moment, everyone understood. The strong shaman from the Snow Wolf Kingdom immediately said: "In this case, we will detach another force and pretend to attack the imperial capital of your country. In this case, you will not take action because you want to protect the imperial capital.
Reason for rescue.”
The strong man Fusang also said: "This method is good, and we have learned a lesson."
Duan Tian burst into laughter and said, "I didn't say anything, and I don't know anything. Leave that brocade box behind. You go, remember to go through the back door!"
Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, everyone will naturally not stay for a long time. The five people stood up directly. However, what surprised Duan Tian was that there were obviously five people, but when they walked out of the study, they became three people. The Snow Wolf
The shaman of the country and the strong man of Fuso suddenly disappeared, and even he could not detect any movement or breath.
"That's fine. After all, the strong men from the Snow Wolf Kingdom and Fuso came to visit me. Especially at this juncture, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble if someone is interested in it." Duan Tian thought to himself, but he turned around and walked towards
That brocade box, I took the spiritual sword in the box with great joy.
