Wei Wei's expression changed, and after receiving the news, he stopped his plan to march westward to Anzhou.
The army under his command temporarily stayed in Jincheng to wait and see what would happen.
Wei Kai's message was relatively concise. Cao Su did not get the exact information and did not dare to act rashly.
He is a general who is away from home. If he leads his troops back to the court, he will definitely be included in the book.
Therefore, Cao Su was very cautious about returning to the court.
Just after spending two days in Jincheng, Cao Su received the second news.
This is the news sent to Cao Su by the right general Qin Hu.
"The King of Heaven has collapsed, and the capital of the gods has been shocked. Come back with your troops quickly!"
This news finally made Cao Su understand.
Suddenly his face looked very wonderful.
The emperor died?
Cao Su had never met the emperor before. He was a miscellaneous general before and was not even qualified to go to the palace.
I heard that today’s emperor has always taken good care of his health. Why did he suddenly die suddenly?
How old is the emperor? He is also in his thirties, right?
Die so young?
Cao Su held two pieces of news in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
The soldiers under his command have not received the news yet and are still stationed in Jincheng. They are actively practicing every day and their morale has returned to its peak.
Once the emperor died, the court became even more chaotic.
Cao Su sighed slightly in his heart. The Qianyuan Dynasty was really heading towards various collapse situations. The wheel of history was rolling forward and no one could stop it.
At present, his more than 20,000 cavalry are different from other frontier armies.
He was originally a member of the imperial guard guarding the divine capital. Logically speaking, after there was no war in Xizhou, he should return to Beijing.
It’s just that I have never received an edict before.
Once the emperor dies, the capital of the gods will be leaderless and there will be chaos.
Cao Su walked into the courtyard, holding the two letters that had been sent to him in his hand. For a moment, he felt quite agitated.
It is too far away from the capital of God, and I have no idea what is happening in the capital of God.
Everyone in his family is in Shendu. If the Shendu is in chaos, will something happen to his family?
Cao Su raised his head and looked at the starry sky in the first year of Yongning in the Qianyuan Dynasty.
A meteor streaked across the sky, extremely visible in the dark night.
"This is........"
Cao Su raised his head to observe the stars at night. Although he didn't understand, he was shocked.
"The Emperor's star has fallen?"
He secretly guessed and felt keenly that at this time, the city of God was covered with dark clouds and rain was about to come, making it a place of right and wrong.
As for the cavalry under his command, although they are highly mobile, it would take at least ten days to reach the divine capital.
What will be the situation in the divine capital ten days from now?
Now that the gods are in shock, no one cares about his glorious deeds of defeating the demon clan and the Qiang clan.
Cao Su was thinking about the future in his mind. Under the dark night, he had countless thoughts.
At this time, Ma Chao, who was guarding outside the courtyard, walked in.
Ma Chao has been following Cao Su for several months and has become calmer recently.
Although he is still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is quite out-of-the-box at heart, his martial arts cultivation and ability to lead troops have increased visibly.
Following Cao Su, he learned a lot.
He also began to seriously regard Cao Su as his teacher in life and learn from Cao Su.
"General, Captain Zhang is here."
Ma Chao stepped aside, and Zhang Ke, who accepted the order, walked to Cao Su's side.
"grown ups."
Zhang Ke accepted the order with clasped fists.
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "You will immediately order three thousand cavalry tonight, march eastward at starry night, and go to the West County to make arrangements first. I will rush over tomorrow."
Zhang Ke was stunned: "Sir, didn't you leave Anzhou?"
During his trip to Anzhou, Cao Su did not hide anything from his subordinates.
Everyone below also knows that they are about to invade Anzhou and drive out the Qiang soldiers.
But the result is that Cao Su did not choose Anzhou, and now he is arranging for Zhang Ke to go to the east. Isn't this the way back to the divine capital?
Cao Su did not answer Zhang Ke, but looked at him quietly.
Zhang Ke panicked, he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly bowed his head in response.
Then he retreated and followed orders.
"Ma Chao."
After Zhang Ke retreated, Cao Su called Ma Chao to come forward.
Ma Chao clasped his fists: "General."
Cao Su thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I want to write a letter and give it to your father. After the army leaves Jincheng tomorrow, you can send someone to deliver it to your father."
Ma Chao thought it was a military matter, but he didn't expect it to be a family matter.
Since Cao Su's trip to Beiliang, the Ma family has had a close relationship with Cao Su.
Since Cao Su had specifically warned him about this matter, it was no small matter.
He quickly agreed.
After Ma Chao left the courtyard, Cao Su sat in the courtyard and continued to meditate for a while.
Suddenly, he felt a faint wave coming from the yard.
Cao Su turned around and saw Zhou Wei suddenly appeared beside him.
"Weiwei."
Cao Su was not surprised at all.
Since the news came from Qin Hu, Wei Kai and others, Zhou Wei, who is an important disciple of the Dao Palace, should also have received the news at this moment.
Sure enough, Zhou Wei was very shocked.
"Brother Zhou, something happened to God."
"I know."
Cao Su regained his composure at this moment, and there was no wave on his face.
Zhou Wei didn't expect that Cao Su already knew about this. She was the messenger in the Taoist palace specializing in magical weapons. How did Cao Su know about it, and he was even better informed than him?
Cao Su seemed to see through Zhou Wei's doubts.
He explained: "There is someone in my court."
Someone in the court must have gotten the news before the Dao Palace.
Zhou Wei didn't understand: "The Heavenly Master and the Emperor practice together every day, how could it suddenly..."
You Celestial Master is quite suspicious. Maybe you have been controlled by people in the imperial court before, so the people in the Dao Palace don't know.
Cao Su heard that there were many masters in the palace, many of whom were in the Xuan realm.
The Qi Refiners in the Tao Palace, even at the Nascent Soul stage, dare not break into the palace easily.
"This is not important anymore. The most important thing now is that we must return to the Divine Capital as soon as possible."
"The City of Gods is in chaos. As the Forbidden Army, we take it as our duty to protect the City of Gods."
"I have an army of 20,000 men. Although it is not a strong force, it can at least contribute some strength."
Cao Su said sternly.
Zhou Wei nodded repeatedly and agreed with Cao Su's statement.
She worriedly said: "Brother Cao, the senior brothers in the Dao Palace have sent news that the light on the sacred mountain is shattered, the dragon energy in the capital is dissipated, and the emperor is dead. These are all bad omens. Not only the sacred capital, but also the whole world may be in chaos."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su had expected this kind of thing.
Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. This has been the case in all dynasties.
What he didn't expect was that the emperor would become cold like this. There seemed to be no signs before.
Is there anything fishy in it?
Most likely, the emperor has it, how can he just die? What's more, the emperor is in the prime of life, and his physical condition has always been relatively good. He is also diligent in refining elixirs, taking medicine, cultivating his body, and pursuing immortality.
"You won't be poisoned by the elixir, right?"
Cao Su then thought about it, the emperor was refining elixirs every day and practicing Taoism. He was not a Taoist himself. Could he have died of poisoning due to taking too many elixirs?
You must know that even if the elixirs are refined by Taoist palaces, many of them are toxic.
Generally strong warriors who use medicine to break spells and pursue higher realms, and ordinary people who do not practice martial arts or practice Taoism, cannot take pills indiscriminately.
This is why successful Qi practitioners are often unable to help their relatives enter the path of immortality.
At most, he can only teach a small elixir with extremely low toxicity to help his relatives live longer.
When the deadline comes, it will be cool when it should be cool.
Zhou Wei asked: "Brother Cao, what do you need me to do next?"
"Although the Qiang people have retreated, spring has not yet begun. I am worried that the Qiang people will come back. This is why I have been waiting here these days."
"I need you to go to Anzhou and help me find out what's going on with the Qiang people. If they really return to Mobei, then I can return east with peace of mind."
Cao Su was not polite and directly used Zhou Wei and Qing Xiao, who had the strongest flying abilities, as scouts.
These two fly in the air and can fly far away with just one breath. They are among the top reconnaissance air forces in this era. They are best used to detect the enemy's situation.
Zhou Wei and Qing Xiao also don't have the airs of Qi Refiners.
The two of them were sincerely convinced by Cao Su, and they would try their best to complete any task assigned by Cao Su.
Therefore, Zhou Wei did not complain at all when she received a reasonable investigation mission from Cao Su.
Immediately he accepted the order, turned around and left Cao Su's yard.
After Zhou Wei left, the wind in Cao Su's yard was still shaking.
In the second half of the night, some changes occurred in the yard.
The bare branches fluttered in the wind, and the snowflakes that had not yet melted fell quietly from the eaves. The north wind changed its direction and became much softer in the courtyard.
A white figure appeared in front of Cao Su.
Cao Su opened his eyes and smiled.
Ouyang Xuanji was very tired and suddenly appeared and sat opposite him.
"Xuanji."
Cao Su could see that Ouyang Xuanji was running all the way here, dusty and not as bright and light as before.
"Cao Zhaowu...Cao Pingxi, I finally found you!"
There was a touch of peace in Ouyang Xuanji's tired smile. After seeing Cao Su, all the anxiety and uneasiness disappeared in an instant.
A martial artist is fierce, and if you are against a martial artist, you will feel physically and mentally exhausted.
But if you become friends with a warrior, especially a powerful warrior like Cao Su, you will also feel an unusual sense of security.
