What Peng Jun said was exactly what Nie Zhen was worried about, but Wei Biao beside him became furious, raised his head and pointed angrily at Peng Jun's nose, and asked sternly: "You said we had important matters to discuss, and you came here to persuade your master to defect.
You are so brave, I will destroy you first!"
As he spoke, Wei Biao made a move to draw his sword. Nie Zhen snorted coldly and glared at him fiercely. Wei Biao's face was full of confusion. He didn't know what he had done wrong. He looked at Nie Zhen helplessly.
The hand that had just grasped the hilt of the sword then dropped it.
Nie Zhen looked at Peng Jun and asked with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
Peng Jun said seriously: "Now the Holy King stays in the Youdian all day long. It is called seclusion, but it is actually an escape. The important task of guarding the city of God Chi falls on Elder Nie alone. If he can successfully defend the city, it will be the wisdom of the Holy King.
, if it fails, then Elder Nie will be a big sinner in Shenchi. Is Elder Nie willing to be used by others and not find a way out for himself? "
His words hit the mark. Nie Zhen is not a fool. He has made a detailed analysis of the current situation. According to his own judgment, the chance that he can withstand the first wave of Fengchuan coalition's attack is not more than five.
become.
If the Fengchuan coalition forces continued to mobilize troops from their respective countries after the first wave of attacks were frustrated, then Shenchi City might not even have a 10% chance. This is why Nie Zhen did not kill Peng Jun immediately after knowing his intentions.
main reason.
Just as Ziyue said, Nie Zhen's loyalty to Guang Han Ting is false. When Guang Han Ting gains power, he will look after Guang Han Ting and obey his orders. But once Guang Han Ting loses power, then Nie Zhen will
Zhen will never accompany him to hell.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Zhen said quietly: "You mean, I should also follow the example of Huangfu and the commander and switch sides to the Fengchuan Alliance Army?"
"It's not a defection, it's a crusade against the rebels. It's a joint effort with the family teacher, Huangfu and other elders to impeach Guang Hanting and end the current precarious situation in Shenchi. The reason why Shenchi is in danger is all because of Guang Hanting.
, the Fengchuan Allied Forces are not trying to annex Shenchi, but just to punish Guang Hanting. Judging from the current situation, Guang Hanting's downfall is already a matter of time. If Elder Nie continues to be loyal to this thief, then Elder Nie will eventually
Like Guang Hanting, he will be ruined and become the number one sinner of our Divine Pond from ancient times to the present. On the contrary, Elder Nie will become a hero of our Divine Pond like all the elders. Please think twice before taking action!"
"That's nonsense!" Wei Biao's face flushed, and he turned to Nie Zhen and said, "Master, Peng Jun has a eloquent tongue and confuses right and wrong. You must not be bewitched by him!"
Nie Zhen said nothing, lowered his head, and kept rolling his eyes.
At present, there are still two uncertain factors. First, whether the Holy King has any plan to defeat the enemy; second, the Holy King still has dozens of elders and his disciples outside the city. Will these people be at the critical moment?
Give the Fengchuan coalition a fatal blow at any time.
Before Nie Zhen fully understood the situation, it was difficult to make a choice. He thought for a long time and asked seemingly casually: "Peng Jun, what do you mean by your master, Huangfu and other elders when you come here this time?"
"It also means His Royal Highness Feng Wang and His Highness Prince Sichuan!" Peng Jun nodded and added.
Nie Zhen's heart moved. From this point of view, no matter Fengguo, Sichuanguo, Huangfu, Dongfang and others, they all value him very much. Thinking of this, he showed a smile on his face, nodded, and shook his head again.
He shook his head and said: "Peng Jun, I already understand what you mean. However, this matter is very important, so I have to consider it carefully. You go back to your home first and wait for my news!"
"Master, Peng Jun has ulterior motives, so you must not let him go!" Wei Biao said urgently.
Wei Biao didn't want to let Peng Jun go, and Peng Jun himself didn't want to leave yet, at least he didn't want to leave until he got a definite answer from Nie Zhen.
He said seriously: "Elder Nie, time is running out. The Fengchuan coalition forces may launch an attack at any time. Once they do, it will be too late for Elder Nie to regret it..."
Nie Zhen stood up distractedly, waved his hand and said, "I understand, you can go back first! Wei Biao, see off the guests on your behalf!"
Seeing Nie Zhen's determined expression, both Wei Biao and Peng Jun had helpless expressions on their faces. Wei Biao walked up to Peng Jun and said in a deep voice with an unkind expression: "Let's go! Do you really want me to ask you out?"
Peng Jun sighed secretly, bowed his hands to Nie Zhen, and then followed Wei Biao out of the lobby.
After the two of them left, Nie Zhen paced back and forth in the lobby distractedly.
Peng Jun definitely cannot be killed. Keeping him is equivalent to leaving a way out for himself. However, he now doesn't understand what Guang Hanting is thinking and what his plans are, so he can't immediately
He accepted Peng Jun's advice to surrender.
At this time, Nie Zhen could be said to be indecisive and in a dilemma.
Not long after, Wei Biao came back from outside. After closing the door, he quickly came to Nie Zhen and whispered: "Master, how can you let Peng Jun go? He is the one Dongfang Yehuai placed in the city.
Spy, if the Holy King knows about this matter, how will the master explain it to the Holy King?"
Without thinking, Nie Zhen waved his hand and slapped Wei Biao on the head.
Wei Biao is already a middle-aged man in his forties and the chief disciple of the Great Elder. Who would dare to beat him like this on weekdays? At this time, he was stunned by the beating. His face was blank and he looked at Nie Zhen in confusion.
, said blankly: "Master..."
"Are you a pig-headed person? You are so sure that you will be able to defend Shenchi City as a master. If the city is destroyed, will you go into exile with the Holy King as a teacher, or will you die with the Holy King?"
"This... master thinks that the Fengchuan coalition will definitely be able to break the city? With the Holy King here, who in the world can break the Shenchi City..."
Nie Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said: "No matter how powerful the Holy King is, he is a human after all, not a god. As long as he is a human, his abilities are limited. He can block ten thousand or even one hundred thousand enemies, and he can still block a million.
Millions of enemies? If we don't find a way out for ourselves now, we won't have a chance in the future."
"This...this..." Wei Biao hesitated for a long time without saying anything. Nie Zhen glanced at him and said seriously: "Today's matter must not be mentioned to anyone. Also, please explain, Peng
No one is allowed to tell anyone about Jun's visit today."
"Yes! Master, I understand!"
Nie Zhen murmured with deep eyes: "Now, I still have one thing that I don't understand. The Feng Army has arrived at the foot of Shenchi Mountain, but where are the elders who were left by the Holy King to resist the Feng Army? Are they Du Zhan?
Are they dead or in hiding?"
Wei Biao scratched his head and did not answer. Nie Zhen didn't even know where those elders were, let alone him.
But soon, Nie Zhen knew the exact whereabouts of those elders.
The next morning, before Nie Zhen got up, his eldest disciple Wei Biao was outside knocking on the door. Nie Zhen got up with a gloomy face, opened the door, looked at the panic-stricken Wei Biao outside, and asked in a deep voice: "Come out."
What are you so worried about?"
"Master, something bad has happened. I just received the news that the elders who were left behind by the Holy King to resist the Feng Army have...already defected to the Feng Army..." Wei Biao bowed and said in a trembling voice.
When Nie Zhen heard this, he felt as if he had been hit by a dull hammer, and his body shook involuntarily. There were dozens of elders left outside the city by Guang Han to defend against the wind army, almost all the elders in the elders' courtyard, and they, together with their disciples,
But now that all the pillars of the Divine Pond have turned against them, half of the Divine Pond has collapsed in an instant. How can Nie Zhen not panic or be anxious?
He swallowed his saliva and asked urgently: "Is this...is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true. The spies outside the city have sent back the information one after another! Master, what should we do now?"
Nie Zhen was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses, stamped his feet fiercely, and said repeatedly: "Prepare your horses, prepare your horses quickly, I will go to see the Holy King immediately!"
Dozens of elders have all defected, and Shenchi City has completely fallen into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness. If the Holy King cannot come out of seclusion and can't come up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy, then Shenchi City will be hopeless.
He returned to his room, quickly dressed and freshened up, and then hurried to the Youdian Palace.
Now outside Youdian, there is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. It is heavily guarded, as if facing a formidable enemy.
When Nie Zhen arrived with several close disciples, he was immediately stopped by the guards who gathered around him. One of them raised his hands and said, "Elder Nie came to Youdian for something?"
"I want to see the Holy King, please go and report to the Holy King as soon as possible!"
"This..." The guards looked at each other. The man who spoke just now bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Elder Nie. The Holy King has already told me that no one will be seen. Elder Nie, please come back!"
"Fart!" Nie Zhen was really anxious at this time, his face was red and his neck was thick. He gritted his teeth and said: "The military situation is extremely urgent. Shenchi City is now in danger. If you wait to block it again and delay the important matter, I will kill your head for waiting.
!”
The guards had never seen Nie Zhen so anxious. When he lost his composure, something big must have happened. Everyone looked at each other again, and one of the leaders came out and said, "Elder Nie, please wait here.
Let the villain go in and report to the Holy King."
"Go quickly, go quickly!" Nie Zhen got off his horse and waved his hands irritably.
The guard leader took a deep breath, gave the order, and opened the palace door. With a creaking sound, the door to the Youdian Palace was slowly opened through a gap, and the guard leader stepped in sideways.
He had been inside for more than half an hour. Nie Zhen, who was waiting outside, was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth. From time to time, he glanced into the Youdian through the crack in the door. Unfortunately, it was dark inside. What was he doing?
Can't even see clearly.
I don’t know how long it took before the leader of the guards quickly walked out of the Youdian Palace. He came to Nie Zhen and bowed his hands in salute: "Elder Nie, the Holy King invites you!"
