With the sound of flapping wings, a war eagle descended from the sky. On the back of the eagle, a thin man walked down. He was wearing light leather armor and holding a rapier. He was the war eagle knight of the Great Chu Dynasty. Generally speaking,
, the weight of the war eagle knights cannot exceed one hundred kilograms, otherwise the war eagle will be too heavy to fly far. These people serve as scouts, are very agile, and have a high status in the army.
"how so……"
Looking at the corpses on the ground, the war eagle knight frowned.
Behind him, the sound of flapping wings was repeated, and several other war eagle knights also fell behind. The war eagle scouts, a small team of ten people, were conducting reconnaissance in stages, so as to ensure that everything was safe.
Another female war eagle knight knelt down on one knee and looked at the bones of a Kuizhou cavalryman. The throat was pierced by a sword, and what pierced the throat was only a broken sword with "Sky Tower" engraved on the hilt.
Words. .??.
"this……"
She gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred thousand Kuizhou cavalry were all killed in the battle. Could it be that the Sky Tower was the culprit?"
"Not necessarily, let's see again."
"yes!"
A group of war eagle knights searched around, and sure enough they couldn't find even a trace of the Cursed Soul Legion. However, they found a lot of broken swords, broken spears, broken armor, etc. from the Sky Tower. Those carvings were from the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court.
Handwriting cannot be forged by outsiders even if they want to.
"Asshole!"
There were tears in the eyes of the female War Eagle Knight. She held a piece of Sky Tower Broken Sword and said, "One hundred thousand of my descendants in Kuizhou will lie here forever. These bastards from Sky Tower, they are so cruel!"
"Let's go and report back to the marshal!"
"Um!"
…
Shanhaiguan.
Inside the pass, there are a series of barracks. In the commander's tent, a rather handsome general is sitting behind the commander's desk. On the shore, there are piles of blood-stained weapons, all of which come from the Sky Tower.
Su Liang frowned, "The total strength of the Sky Tower is less than 20. With 100,000 troops reserved to guard the Sky Tower, they can use even less troops. Even if the Sky Tower dispatches 100,000 cavalry, so what?"
One hundred thousand Kuizhou cavalry could be wiped out overnight, not to mention that the battlefield is in the Starry Forest, why should they go there to strangle the Kuizhou cavalry!"
"Maybe it's just to deceive others."
An old general said calmly, "After all, once Liangzhou is rebuilt, the imperial court will send more supplies, grain and grass to the Sky Tower. If one goes, the other will go up, and the Sky Tower's supplies will inevitably be squeezed. This is probably what Shi Lan did."
The motive behind destroying the Kuizhou cavalry."
"This matter is of great importance."
Su Liang said calmly, "I cannot draw a conclusion unless it is absolutely necessary. I will go to the imperial capital with these physical evidences. The final decision depends on His Majesty's wishes."
"Yes, Su Shuai!"
…
Liangzhou City.
Ding Jilin is sitting on a watchtower
On the way up, enduring the torment of the cold wind, waiting for the results in the distance, suddenly, a bell rang in my ears——
"drop!"
The mission prompts that the Sky Tower is under attack. Some people think that the Sky Tower's army strangled 100,000 Kuizhou cavalry. Please go to the imperial capital immediately and explain everything in court!
"Holy shit!"
He frowned, good things take a long time, how could this matter be blamed on the Sky Tower?
No matter what, let’s set off and head to the imperial capital!
…
Yandi City.
Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
On top of the Dragon Case, there was a pile of evidence brought by Su Liang. In addition, the ten War Eagle Knights came to act as witnesses.
The Human Emperor Chu Feng said nothing, and Chu Yang of the Shangzhu Kingdom also remained silent.
"What a bastard!"
Tianquan Hou Chu Jincheng looked angry and said, "I just received the good news yesterday. It was said that Brother Chu Hao set up a conspiracy in the Starry Forest and almost killed the evil soul-cursor Shattering Star. He also successfully entered the quasi-god realm.
, that was the first quasi-god in the temple of my Great Shang Dynasty, but today he actually died in battle. Looking at the Northern Territory, who can kill Chu Hao, who else can it be besides Shi Lan, the Withering Blade?
?”
"That's right!"
Another veteran minister also said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother clearly knows that the evidence is conclusive. That day, Sky Tower relied on Shi Lan's combat power and completely ignored the imperial court. In this case, why should we continue to supply food and grass and directly cut off their supply?"
Supplies, look at how Shi Lan is waiting for the 200,000 troops to survive the cold winter in the wind and snow!"
"My lord."
Su Liang looked indifferently, "What if the Sky Tower is forced to attack Shanhaiguan?"
"We also have an army of 200,000 in Shanhaiguan. Aren't we afraid of him?"
"Sir, are you going to guard Shanhaiguan?"
"Su Shuai, you..."
At this moment, a guard came up to the palace and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, General Ding Jilin of Sky Tower Zhaolie wants to see you!"
"ah?"
The young Emperor was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Hurry up!"
"yes!"
Ding Jilin went up to the hall. His rank was too low and he didn't know where to stand. The worst people in the court seemed to be fourth rank. He, the fifth rank general Zhaolie, was supposed to stand outside the hall, so he directly responded.
He walked forward and stood in the first row, alongside Chu Yang.
"..."
A group of civil servants and generals dared not speak out in anger, and several ministers stared at Ding Jilin. This bitch is so shameless!
"Brother..."
Human Emperor Chu Feng blurted out, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate and immediately
He changed his words and said, "Ding Jilin, someone has discovered a large number of Sky Tower's weapons and broken armor on the battlefield in the Blood Prison Valley. Most of these weapons are the weapons used to kill the Kuizhou Iron Cavalry, so some people think they are Sky Tower's troops."
One hundred thousand Kuizhou cavalry were strangled, what do you think?"
Ding Jilin took out a token and presented it to him, saying, "Your Majesty, I saw how the entire Kuizhou cavalry army was wiped out. I was there at the time. This was a hundred cavalry commander from Kuizhou who asked me to hand it over to Chu Yang before he died.
My lord, he asked me to tell him all the truth about this place, and tell him that the Kuizhou Iron Cavalry and the Cursed Soul Legion fought to the last moment and tried their best."
"this……"
Chu Yang received the order and was immediately moved.
"snort!"
Behind him, Chu Jincheng frowned and said, "It's not true. Did you say you were there? If you, Ding Jilin, were there, why did you stand by and watch the entire Kuizhou cavalry army be annihilated?"
Ding Jilin walked to the red carpet in the center, glanced at Chu Jincheng, and hesitated to speak.
Chu Feng said, "Ding Jilin, you can speak directly!"
"good."
With the emperor's backing, there was nothing much to say. Ding Jilin said directly and loudly, "Chu Hao set up a great formation for the return of all things in the Starry Forest, sacrificed the lives of more than a thousand human earth masters, and then absorbed the soul-cursing fragments."
Part of Xing's cultivation level forced him to reach a quasi-god realm, but he insisted on going his own way and insisted on entering the Blood Prison Valley for a decisive battle with the Cursed Soul Legion. In the end, he fell into the trap and was used by the red-robed counselor to speed up the flow of time with a streamer. The entire Blood Prison Valley
The time here has sped up by twenty or thirty years, and many Kuizhou cavalry died of old age rather than in battle. This can be verified. As for Chu Hao’s death, it is his own fault and no one else’s fault.”
"impossible!"
Chu Jincheng said angrily, "Brother Chu Hao has always been tolerant and generous. He was a famous general who loved his soldiers as his own son. How could he sacrifice the lives of the monks who accompanied him? Ding Jilin, don't think that you can spit on others just because brother Chu Hao died for his country."
!”
"Believe it or not!"
Ding Jilin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have time to argue here. The reason why the Sky Tower's weapon was found in the Blood Prison Valley is probably a divorce plan by the red-robed counselor. If anyone doesn't believe what I say, you can send someone else there."
Take a look at the Blood Prison Valley and look at the Kuizhou cavalry who died in battle, but there is one person who looks younger than forty years old, and they all looked quite old before they died."
"good!"
Human Emperor Chu Feng said solemnly, "Shangzhu Kingdom, can you immediately send the War Eagle Knight to verify that what Ding Jilin said is the truth?"
"yes!"
Chu Yang said, "I will send someone to investigate right now."
With that said, Shang Zhuguo turned around and left.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty!"
Chu Jincheng gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really believe what this thief says?"
"Who do you think is the thief?"
Man
Jilin turned around and looked at Chu Jincheng indifferently, his voice cold.
"Ding Jilin."
Empress Dowager He, who was listening behind the curtain, finally spoke, her voice was quite soft, and said, "Chu Yang has sent people to investigate. The quarrel at this time is not conducive to resolving the matter. Marquis Tianquan, please control your temper and stop arguing.
"
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ding Jilin raised his fist towards the emperor and said, "One hundred thousand Kuizhou cavalry were wiped out in the northern region. The newly built Liangzhou City will soon turn into an empty city. It is only a matter of time before the cursed soul army of the Starry Forest goes south. If at this time,
I think it is very unwise to waste your energy because of other people's alienation schemes. I ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty, to give you a clear warning."
With that said, he turned around and left.
"Ding Jilin!"
A woman's voice came from behind. The eldest princess, Lin Shutong, dressed in military armor, followed her and said, "I'll see you off."
Suddenly, a group of ministers frowned. The eldest princess, known as the beauty of the iceberg, has always been cold and cold. Why did she take the initiative to send Ding Jilin away? Is there something fishy between the two?
…
The main hall and the road full of fallen leaves.
Lin Shutong pursed her red lips and said, "People's hearts have loosened. Those who originally had deep prejudices against you and the Sky Tower, now after being provoked by Jingxie, it is inevitable that people's hearts will change."
"I know, so I don't bother to explain."
"Ding Jilin."
She took out a jade pendant from her arms and said, "Here, I give this to you. Maybe it can ward you off from some disasters."
It is a piece of Chilong Jadeite with no attributes.
Lin Shutong smiled slightly, "My master gave this to me when I was a child. It was said to be able to eliminate disasters and solve problems. I have carried it with me for many years. Now I am giving it to you. I hope it will be useful to you."
"Is this gift too heavy?"
Ding Jilin held the Chilong Jadeite, which still retained Lin Shutong's body temperature, and said with a smile, "How can I have such a blessing? I will definitely have no chance to marry His Highness in this life..."
Lin Shutong chuckled, "What are you thinking about? This is not a token of love. Besides, I'm already married."
"That's fine."
Ding Jilin stuffed the Chilong Jade into his arms and said with a smile, "Who is your Highness marrying? You are so lucky. You are the envy of others!"
"The son of Marquis Mo Yun died because of rebellion on his wedding day. I killed him with my own hands."
"..."
Ding Jilin looked at Lin Shutong's beautiful face, "Good guy, 6!"
…
Just then, a bell rang——
"drop!"
The system prompts that Soul Cursor Broken Star has led the Soul Cursing Legion south to attack Liangzhou City, please go immediately!
