Before going to Five Claws Peak, Ye Qingchen of course still had to implement his plan. At that time, the kind-hearted fox fairy Bailing was drugged by him for a whole day, which invisibly delayed the trip by one day.
In the Fox Immortal Hall, Ye Qingchen raised his wine glass and said: "Bailing, I wish that we can successfully obtain the dragon vein and defeat the enemy as soon as possible."
Without saying a word, Bai Ling raised his neck, flipped the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Ye Qingchen counted silently in his heart, "One, two, three."
Bai Ling's eyes became blurry and she suddenly collapsed on the table. Ye Qingchen hurriedly helped her to the bed in the palace, and then returned to the Fox Immortal Palace. At this time, the armless Marshal Zhan Tian and the commander Zhu Xiaotian were waiting.
Own.
Zhu Xiaotian knelt on the ground with a peaceful expression, like an old man who was about to land in the Elysian World, "Your Highness the Night King, I think you must have your own reasons for doing this. To steal the Maya prophecy from Fengshadu, the Night King's style and ability are not as good as Zhu Xiaotian's.
If you still doubt it, the Fox Fairy Kingdom is in trouble today, and the Night King is not willing to come to the rescue. Zhu Xiaotian, as the former marshal of the Fox Fairy Kingdom, has nothing to repay, and can only obey the orders of His Highness the Night King. Whatever you say, I will do it!"
Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, looking sadder than ever before. "Senior Zhu Xiaotian, Ye Qingchen thanked you for saving my life in Fengshadu. I should have been grateful to you, but obviously the reality is such that I have to push you away again."
On the cusp of the storm.”
Zhu Xiaotian said righteously: "I have long been prepared to sacrifice for the Fox Fairy Kingdom. After so many years of happy life, I feel that I no longer have any regrets."
The muscles on Zhan Tian's face twitched slightly. He was a person who was rarely impressed by his appearance. Naturally, he told Ye Qingchen's plan behind Hu Xian's back, and he agreed with it very much, but it was so extreme.
His method was inhumane to Zhu Xiaotian and his family, so that unnatural move was really due to the intolerance and admiration in his heart. "Commander Zhu, no matter how you change now, you are still Marshal Zhu in Zhan Tian's heart.
It will never change. I believe this is also the case in the hearts of people in the Fox Fairy Kingdom. I have discussed it with His Highness the Night King for a long time, and maybe you are the most suitable person for this task!"
Ye Qingchen continued: "Yes, you are loyal and courageous, neither humble nor overbearing. Maybe you are the only one who can take on this important responsibility."
Zhu Xiaotian looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "Haha, I think I, Zhu Xiaotian, have lived for most of my life. If there is anything you can't ignore, just say it. Up to the mountain of knives and down to the sea of fire, just say it. I, Zhu Xiaotian, will never say another word."
Ye Qingchen nodded, feeling a little unbearable, "This action is definitely no different from going up a mountain of swords and going down a sea of fire!"
Zhan Tian took Ye Qingchen's words and said: "Yes, I believe you can't wait to know what we want you to do. In fact, you should also know the simplest military principles. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will win every battle. We
It has been in a passive state since the beginning of the war, and the main reason for this is the lack of understanding of the military strength and strategy of country m."
Zhu Xiaotian immediately understood what the two of them meant, "You mean to ask me to go undercover in the camp of Country M?"
Ye Qingchen corrected: "It's almost the same as being an undercover agent, but it's much more dangerous than being an undercover agent. Once the thing succeeds, it will be over, but once it fails, there may not even be a whole body!"
Zhu Xiaotian's eyes were wide open, and even his breathing seemed obviously lacking in rhythm, "Are you asking me to assassinate the prince of country M?"
Zhan Tian nodded and said: "Commander Zhu is indeed very smart. In terms of skill, except His Highness the Fox Immortal and His Highness the Night King, no one in the Fox Immortal Kingdom is higher than you. In terms of character, you are the most loyal to the Fox Immortal Kingdom."
The person with the most ideals is none other than Commander Zhu, so this glorious mission was born to be completed by you, Zhu Xiaotian." Zhan Tian's words contained both encouragement and hints.
"The only big problem is that to assassinate the prince of Country M, you need to sneak into Country M and gain the trust of the people of Country M. On this point, I hope we can discuss it with Commander Zhu!" Ye Qingchen said.
Zhu Xiaotian smiled miserably and said sadly: "Let's not discuss this. If we hadn't experienced extremely unequal treatment in the world, how could Country M trust you? The only way to directly approach the Prince of King M is to fake surrender!"
A strange light flashed across Zhan Tian's indifferent expression, "So, Commander Zhu has already figured out what to do?"
Zhu Xiaotian nodded heavily, tears streaming down his face. "I really hope that His Highness the Night King and the Grand Marshal can wait for me for an hour and let me go home to take care of some household chores. I will come back immediately after an hour."
Ye Qingchen said excitedly: "It would be the best thing if Commander Zhu agrees. We have no reason to refuse such a small request."
Zhu Xiaotian returned to his mansion with a gloomy face. There were eighteen people in the Zhu family's mansion, ten direct and collateral relatives in total, and eight servants. Among them, Zhu Xiaotian's most treasured thing was his old age.
The single seedling he got was his youngest son. When Zhu Xiaotian stepped into his yard, the sun had already risen. His youngest son and his wife were playing in the yard. Normally, he would have
He used to be intimate with his wife and children, but today, he obviously had no such interest. When he walked into the yard, he closed the door quietly. His wife saw the sad look on Zhu Xiaotian's face, and guessed that he might be worried about state affairs.
Then he pulled his son aside and suppressed his laughter.
Zhu Xiaotian walked silently into the lobby of his home. In the center of the lobby was the ranking of his ancestors. In front of the ranking was the incense burner, in which there were still countless unburned incense sticks. "Come, go and clean up the house."
Bring me out the fifty-year-old daughter's red that has been hidden for me. Then ask everyone to gather in the lobby!"
Hearing Zhu Xiaotian's voice, the servant Ah Zhong came up humbly, gave a salute, and then walked towards the wine cellar. After a while, he took out a dusty wine bottle. "Go, go and get all the wine bottles."
Gather the people!" Zhu Xiaotian waved his hand sadly, and Ah Zhong immediately went out to gather his family.
Zhu Xiaotian murmured to himself: "The ancients said that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. Today, I, Zhu Xiaotian, have fallen into this situation. It's so pitiful and sad!" He slowly opened the bottle, and the pure aroma of wine filled the whole place.
In the lobby, Zhu Xiaotian raised his neck and took a big sip. He jumped behind the ancestors' ranks, pulled out a long sword, and then poured the remaining wine on the sword, "It takes ten years to sharpen a sword!"
At this time, all the eighteen people in the lobby had arrived. Ah Zhong was about to report to Zhu Xiaotian, but there was no shadow of Zhu Xiaotian in the middle of the lobby. When he looked back, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and it turned out that it was Zhu Xiaotian who was closing the door of the lobby.
"Master!" Before Ah Zhong could finish speaking, red blood spurted out from his neck. There was immediately a heartbreaking scream in the lobby, and it was not until half an hour passed that it became quiet. Zhu Xiaotian's eyes were blank.
, opened the door to the lobby sluggishly, and walked out. His whole body was stained with blood, and in the lobby, the corpses of his family of eighteen were lying strewn about.
Ye Qingchen was surprised when he saw Zhu Xiaotian walking into the Fox Immortal Palace covered in blood: "Commander Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Xiaotian said with a sad expression: "Kill, kill them all, I will kill all the eighteen members of my family."
"What?" Ye Qingchen was so frightened that he trembled all over and broke out in cold sweat, "How could you do this?"
Zhu Xiaotian said solemnly: "Everything has passed, and now it is time for me to contribute to the country. The Fox Fairy dedicated his youth to the Fox Fairy Kingdom, and Marshal Erlie Fox Fairy Kingdom lost his arm. I
Zhu Xiaotian, what have you done for the Fox Fairy Kingdom?" As he spoke, tears began to flow out, "I believe that my wife, children, and children will forgive me. I killed them today so that I can pass it on to you.
, let Country M think that you have killed my whole family, so that I can successfully defect to Country M and gain the trust of the prince."
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhan Tian's forehead. He never thought that Zhu Xiaotian would do such an extreme thing for the Fox Fairy Kingdom, but he still had doubts in his heart: "Commander Zhu, if the people in Country M don't believe it,
What should you do?" Before he finished speaking, a long column of blood spurted out from Zhu Xiaotian's right arm and just hit his face. The battle-experienced generalissimo trembled with fright, "You",
I hesitated for a long time and was speechless.
Zhu Xiaotian looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Does Country M still not believe it now? If you don't believe it, I can give them my ears and nose. As long as I am still alive, I will be able to successfully complete the task and kill the prince."
Ye Qingchen was deeply moved by Zhu Xiaotian's patriotic enthusiasm. Although he knew the danger, he decided not to stop him anymore. He raised his hand and immediately shouted loudly: "Come here!"
"Yes!" A guard walked in.
"Send the order to spread the news to the Fox Fairy Kingdom that Zhu Xiaotian has rebelled against the country. The Night King killed more than eighteen members of Zhu Xiaotian's family, cut off Zhu Xiaotian's right arm, and demoted him to a peasant."
Zhu Xiaotian dragged his crippled body and turned around to leave the Fox Immortal Palace. There was a faint luster in Ye Qingchen's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, this flow of emotions was invisible, and his expression immediately returned to normal.
.
Zhu Xiaotian was in ragged clothes and walked outside in despair. The golden morning glow covered his face. He controlled his steps as slowly as possible, so that the news could spread to the M country's positions in advance. Along the way, from time to time,
There were strange looks. As he walked through the market, countless rotten vegetable leaves, rotten fruits, and garbage were thrown in his face. The most loyal warrior of the Fox Fairy Kingdom had to accept such treatment. Zhu Xiaotian felt miserable.
, he just endured it silently. He believed that when the prince died, these people would turn to look up to him and worship him. All the humiliation would be rewarded.
The prince, Black Tiger, Hei Jialuo, Locke, and Princess Xiaoyao were discussing military affairs in the camp. At this time, the guards came over and reported: "Report to the prince that we have captured a traitor from the Fox Fairy Kingdom. This person is called Zhu Xiaotian. Please make a decision."
!”
The prince was surprised and said: "Oh, he is the original general marshal of the Fox Fairy Kingdom? I heard that the Night King of the Fox Fairy Kingdom killed all his family members, cut off his right arm, and removed him from the position of general marshal.
!”
Black Tiger laughed and said: "Haha, what is the use of keeping such a waste? Just kill him. Is there any need to report to the prince?"
Princess Xiaoyao was cautious, "I don't think this matter is that simple. The Fox Fairy Kingdom has never revealed the crime of why it killed Marshal Zhu Xiaotian and his family of eighteen, but only used treason as an excuse. This excuse
