The Seventh Immortal Emperor announced his oral instructions, but every word was like tingling the nerves of Thunder Blade. How could such a task be completed?
The Seventh Immortal Emperor is preparing to drive Thunder Blade to a dead end!
After the announcement of the Seventh Immortal Emperor was completed, Lei Ren could only accept the order and thank him.
However, he did not leave. Instead, he suppressed his anger and said: "Your Majesty, since I have received the decree, I must do my best to complete it. However, I have two requests, and I hope your Majesty will fulfill them."
"speak."
"First, I want to have full command over the Xihuang military divisions, and I have the power to kill first and report later. Once someone sabotages the plan to wipe out the rebels, I can kill first and then report."
"Many armies in the Western Wilderness often fight among themselves. I agree with your request. I will draft a secret edict and give it to you in a moment, but the scope of your execution first and then the report is limited to matters related to the suppression of the rebels, and you are not allowed to do anything on your behalf in the Western Wilderness."
"Of course."
This first request, Lei Ren expected that the Seventh Immortal Emperor would agree to it. After all, the internal fighting troops in the Western Wilderness were controlled by remote control from the wealthy nobles in Xiandu City. The Seventh Immortal Emperor wished that Lei Ren would eradicate these people for him.
.
"The second request is that I have built a mansion outside the palace. I want to take my wife Ye Qingshuang back from Fanghua Palace. She is not from the palace, so..."
"Haha, don't worry about this. As long as I'm here, Ye Qingshuang will definitely be safe and sound in the palace. But if you take him out, those ministers who are targeting you in the court might do something shameful to Ye Qingshuang. So, I still let you
Let her stay and recuperate in Fanghua Hall,
Aren't you about to go on an expedition? You are serving the country, and I should do my best to protect your family. When you come back from victory, I and Ye Qingshuang will go out of the city to pick you up in person. When the time comes, it will be better to say goodbye than a wedding, so you can pick her up
It's not too late to go back. That's all. I have something else to do, so please step aside first."
Lei Ren's face twitched. Although he was displeased, the order of the Seventh Immortal Emperor to expel guests had been issued, and he had to retreat from the palace.
It seems that Xuanwen is still planning to continue using Ye Qingshuang to blackmail him!
After walking out of the palace, Lei Ren gritted his teeth and frowned.
…
The order from the Seventh Immortal Emperor came in a hurry, giving Lei Ren only three days to prepare in the Immortal City. Lei Ren went to Fanghua Palace to accompany Ye Qingshuang for a day, and then he could only reluctantly leave the Immortal City with Han Ziqian and others.
Capital City, rush to Yunzhong City.
When leaving, Lei Ren said to Ye Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, as soon as I leave, you should pay attention to asking for news about me. Once something bad happens to the emperor on my side, the emperor will most likely take action against you. When the time comes, you should pay attention.
Save your life. You have always been a hostage controlled by the emperor."
After saying this, Lei Ren called Qing'er again and asked Qing'er to protect Ye Qingshuang, and then left helplessly.
Along the way, Ni Qiang didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to go to the Western Wilderness. Moreover, there were only 50,000 people. He asked Lei Ren many times: "Boss, what's going on? 50,000 people. We 50,000 people will be wiped out in two years."
Emperor Wu who has the remnants of the Black Panther Legion and the Fire Eagle Legion? This is not a joke, they have four to five million people!"
"Besides, it goes without saying that those troops in Xihuang are unreliable. In recent years, Xihuang's battles against Emperor Wu's party have always resulted in more losses than wins. In many battles, even with twice the number of opponents, they couldn't win. What do you think?
, How can we count on them? Fifty thousand people, boss, do you think the emperor...had his head caught in the door?"
Ni Qiang said the last sentence very quietly, but it could be seen that he was indeed dissatisfied with this mission.
At this time, Ni Qiang was already a general, with a third-level official position. He was considered a big official. He originally wanted to enjoy some time in Xiandu City, but he didn't expect to be sent out so quickly. He complained all the way
, if he hadn't followed Thunder Blade out, he would have lied about having diarrhea.
In fact, Lei Ren, Chen Chao and Han Ziqian were all very clear about the purpose of the arrangement of the Seventh Immortal Emperor. Only Ni Qiang and Li Yunlong did not care much about major affairs in the DPRK and did not think much about this aspect.
The two hundred troops were not in a hurry to go to Nanzhou. When the troops arrived at the bank of a tributary of the river at the junction of Beizhou and Nanzhou to rest a few days later, Lei Ren, Han Ziqian and other masters suddenly felt a wave of
A strange smell spreads by the river!
"poisonous!"
Han Ziqian reacted first and shouted, "Don't use the water from the river, it's poisonous!"
By the time Lei Ren noticed the traces of poisonous gas emanating from the river, he had already heard some soldiers screaming. Then, when he came to his senses and looked up, his own escort team was almost there.
In the blink of an eye, half of the people had fallen down!
"Gather the troops and leave here immediately!"
Lei Ren shouted loudly, feeling that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered.
A hundred or so people, in panic, mounted their magic beast horses, led by Lei Ren, Han Ziqian and others, away from the river bank, around a mountain road far away from the river, preparing to bypass the small river and cross the river.
Hoo ho ho!
However, when they entered the mountain forest, the entire mountain forest suddenly dimmed, as if the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. It was still the sky at noon, and for a moment, they could not see their fingers!
"Illusion!"
Lei Ren and Han Ziqian both shouted out in unison.
"Everyone, stay focused, don't be attracted by other things, and guard your mind, otherwise, you won't be able to get out of this dark forest!"
Thunder Blade's order spread, but at this time, in the darkness, some people actually had no reaction!
"We use the rope to hold each other, don't get lost, it will be very dangerous if we get lost here!"
Lei Ren looked serious and ordered.
However, when he ordered to go out, no one answered him.
"not good!"
Shocked in his heart, Lei Ren hurriedly listened attentively - there was silence all around, and there was no longer the noise of people jumping on their backs!
I'm afraid these people are here for me. This illusion is actually mainly used on me! Sweat broke out on Lei Ren's forehead, and his vigilance was immediately raised to the highest level.
Illusions are divided into cultivation illusions and demon illusions. Cultivation illusions usually produce formations and illusions. Only demon illusions can produce such illusions that block the sky and the sun, and bring darkness to deal with people!
At this moment, Lei Ren was able to determine that this group of people, or this person, had already planned to launch this demonic illusion, and it was aimed at him!
"Is it someone from the Phantom Group?"
Lei Ren was shocked and thought of the most mysterious assassin organization in the world of cultivation - the Phantom Group.
This assassin group is famous for its use of illusions to kill people, and is one of the most famous assassin groups in the world of cultivation!
