A purple thunder and lightning broke through the sky from the clouds.
Bright light illuminated the entire city of Yin.
The pavilions and pavilions are of different heights and stretch continuously.
A burst of muffled thunder rolled across the sky again, the thick clouds were terrifyingly low, and the sky and earth were covered in gray, as if it had suddenly entered rainy mode.
When I saw that heavy rain was coming, there were fewer people on the streets of Yincheng.
Cao Su's troops and horses hurriedly completed their garrison and set up a large number of military tents in the strong wind.
Then, big raindrops fell directly and fell to the ground.
Crash--
The rainwater poured down from the clouds like a pouring water.
Soon, dense water vapor began to appear in the city, making the entire city look like a mist.
........
A few miles away from the station.
In a high attic, two men dressed as scribes toasted to invite each other.
The table was filled with exotic delicacies, and they were the only ones dining at the entire attic, with no other guests.
The two of them listened to the wind and heard the rain, feeling at ease.
A scribe smiled and said: "Brother Chen, Lingzhou has not been peaceful recently. Isn't it appropriate for you to come to me so openly?"
Brother Chen, who was sitting opposite him, heard this and said slowly: "Why is it inappropriate? I am neither a criminal ordered by the imperial court nor a life-and-death enemy of Lingzhou. If there is turmoil in Lingzhou, what does it have to do with me?"
"Having said that, you Tianji Pavilion has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of our court. If I take your head to receive the reward, I can at least reward a hundred households."
The two of them were obviously smiling and talking, and even toasting each other, but the content of their conversation was about life and death.
The words are quite sharp.
When Brother Chen heard what he said, he was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Your goal in life, Song Jian, is just to reward a hundred households?"
When Song Jian saw his opponent, he found the right opportunity to ridicule him, knowing that there would be no advantage in talking like this.
Simply get to the point and ask: "What do you mean you came here this time? Tianji Pavilion should have someone stationed in Yincheng for a long time, right? You don't want to come here to station, right?"
Brother Chen said in a deep voice: "You know our Tianji Pavilion very clearly. Don't worry, I'm not here to mess with Yincheng. I just want to ask you to do me a favor."
Deal with the person in front of you.
Song Jian was very vigilant and said calmly: "You still need my help? You won't ask me to help you get back the realm token, right? I've also heard about Wei Tao and Wang Meng who fought against you. They belong to General You.
General Right, do you know? He is a central official, and he can crush me to death with one finger."
It turned out that the person sitting in front of Song Jian was Chen Zhen, and he also came to Yincheng.
On that day, Chen Zhen was robbed of his realm token by Wei Tao and Wang Meng. It was also rumored that he was knocked down into the Qingluo River and almost escaped death.
He has always been conceited and strategizing, but he didn't expect that this time he would actually fall into a trap in the small Pingcheng.
Wei Tao had practiced the Burning Sun Heart Sutra, and his martial arts was superior to him, but his body skills were not as fast as his. As a result, Wang Meng, his subordinate, was faster than him in his thunder sword body skills. Two mad dogs who did not follow martial ethics were attacked by two mad dogs.
Forced to hand over the token, he escaped into the river and left.
How could Chen Zhen deserve this loss?
The realm token is very important to him, and the skills he practices must rely on some spiritual treasures in the realm to progress.
Now that the token is lost, he can't open the realm channel, and his skills can no longer make progress. For him, this is a matter of personal interest.
Seeing Song Jian's vigilance, Chen Zhen spoke slowly: "I have other arrangements to get back the realm token. I am asking for your help. The main reason is to ask you to contact the Fire Demon Sect. I have a good business deal for them.
.”
Contact Fire Demon Sect?
What do you want to do?
Song Jian's face stiffened, his eyes rolled, his mind was changing, and he laughed dryly and said: "The Fire Demon Sect is an evil sect. How do I know this sect? Don't be kidding me."
Chen Zhen sneered and said: "How can you hide the fact that you are the young master of the Fire Demon Sect from others and from me? Don't forget what I do!"
Chen Zhen exposed Song Jian's identity on the spot.
Song Jian was not surprised, and showed a devilish smile: "Whatever you say, do you have any evidence? Anyway, I am now the official of Yincheng, a serious ninth-rank official of the imperial court."
"From the ninth grade."
"From the ninth level to the ninth level, it's much better than your white body."
Chen Zhen:..........
He said impatiently: "The Fire Demon Sect is having a hard time in Lingzhou, isn't it? Being overwhelmed by the three major sects, you must be frantically thinking of ways to get the Wanping Army to enter Lingzhou so that you can take advantage of the fire, right?"
Chen Zhen's words touched Song Jian's painful foot.
Song Jian hasn't returned to the sect for several years. Isn't that the reason?
Now I am hiding in Yincheng, just looking for an opportunity.
Song Jian was actually quite afraid of this disciple of Tianji Pavilion.
His face turned cold: "What exactly do you want to say? If you have something to say, just say it clearly!"
Chen Zhenyin smiled and said: "I want the Fire Demon Sect to help me kill a group of rebels."
Song Jian was an official in the city and was in charge of documents. Hearing Chen Zhen's words, his heart moved and he blurted out: "You want to deal with Cao Su?"
"You also know Cao Su?"
Chen Zhen shook his head: "What I want to target is not Cao Su, but the troops under his command, which are about to go to Fufeng City in Yuzhou to join Wei Tao and Wang Meng."
Song Jian understood that Chen Zhen's intention was to weaken Wei Tao and Wang Meng's strength as much as possible.
Is this his way to regain the realm token? It doesn't seem particularly brilliant.
Chen Zhen knew that Song Jian must have gone astray, but he deliberately let Song Jian go astray. His true intention was to destroy this direct lineage of Wang Meng, thus prompting Wang Meng to come to Lingzhou to investigate the cause.
After separating Wei Tao and Wang Meng, he focused on dealing with Wang Meng first, defeating them one by one.
So his real purpose is still Wei Tao and Wang Meng, but he changed it in a more secretive way.
Ordinary people don't understand the various relationships between the Pingcheng Prefecture Army and the rebel army, nor do they know the relationship between Wang Meng and Cao Su, so they naturally wouldn't think so far.
But he is different. He has been in a martial arts school, and in order to establish the Tianji Pavilion site in Pingcheng, he knows everything about Pingcheng.
"I understand everything, but why should I help you?"
Song Jian picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, and said with a mocking smile: "Cao Su and I don't know each other. Isn't it appropriate to provoke an enemy for no reason?"
Chen Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tianji Pavilion obtained a list from Lingzhou Prefecture..."
"Snapped!"
Song Jian suddenly stood up and slapped the table angrily.
The entire table fell apart in an instant, and the strange and strange treasures on the table fell to the floor.
He narrowed his eyes and showed a faint murderous look on his face: "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Zhen was very calm at this time: "I don't mean that. If you are willing to help me, I can help you lead an army of ten thousand people to attack Lingzhou."
Song Jian's heart was filled with turmoil.
Can this guy influence Wan Pingjun's decision-making?
Or is it that a certain commander in the Wanping Army is one of theirs?
Bringing in an army of ten thousand people is no small matter. If an army of ten thousand people really comes to attack Lingzhou, it will be a disruptive shock to the entire Lingzhou.
This is exactly what the Fire Demon Sect has always wanted.
He seemed unable to refuse this deal. He had also seen the rebel army. The strongest warriors were only low-level warriors. With good design, they could be easily destroyed.
Thinking of this, Song Jian's face turned from yin to yang, and he raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile: "Brother Chen, I have long disliked Cao Su. He relied on his own abilities to dominate and bully others. I heard that earlier
I also killed the city lord of Dengcheng in the day. This city lord of Dengcheng is an official of the imperial court. What kind of face does he have to chop him off whenever he wants?"
"Moreover, Shi Tan, the leader of the city, was a scholar. In the end, he was beheaded by a reckless man. It really angered us scholars..."
You are such a bad scholar!
Seeing Song Jian's change of attitude, Chen Zhen agreed to him, with a hint of joy on his face. After having a drink with him, he congratulated: "Young Master Song is wise, he destroyed the rebel army of the imperial court, introduced the Wanping army to destabilize Lingzhou, and established this...
With his extraordinary skills, he will surely stand out among the young sect masters of the Fire Demon Sect and become the master of the sect in the future."
Song Jian would not believe Chen Zhen's sweet words. He just wanted to leave this ghost place Yincheng as soon as possible.
The table was broken into pieces, and the two of them were holding wine glasses and toasting each other, their expressions were as usual, and the conversation was not affected at all.
The rain outside the attic became heavier and heavier, and bursts of thunder resounded throughout the sky in Yincheng.
........
Summer thunderstorms bring relief to heaven and earth.
Cao Su put on his bamboo hat and took the token and left the station.
Not long after he left, he felt someone staring at him from behind.
He thought it was Yincheng's imperial army, so he didn't pay much attention.
Soon the gaze disappeared, and Cao Su successfully flickered in the rain, found a tall building in the city, jumped a few times, and stood on the top of the building.
The view from a high place is good, and you can see the entire city clearly at a glance.
The violent wind and rain fell crazily, penetrating into his armor.
He saw the old trees on the street, still standing there in such a harsh environment, with fresh buds on their branches swaying in the wind, indomitable.
Ice cannot stop the flow of water, nor can dead trees bloom again.
