Back in time half an hour ago, in Huainan, on the Yingzui Peak, two hundred and forty-six miles west of Tianjiang City, two figures stood proudly on the top of the peak, bathed in the light of the stars and the moon.
The person standing on the left is not an old man with gray hair. He has a standard Chinese character face, two deep nasolabial folds, and cold and resolute facial features, making this elderly man who is over seventy years old look even more...
Solemn.
He is none other than General Chen Zangfeng.
However, he did not carry his war horse armor with him, and he was also wearing a jet-black night suit. He must have dressed up like this on purpose for some covert operation.
Three steps away from him, there was another old man standing, also wearing night clothes and a mask.
This person is none other than King Xia Chunqiu of Huainan!
After the two of them waited for a hundred breaths, Chen Zangfeng raised his gray eyebrows slightly and asked in a voice: "Your Majesty, why hasn't the person you mentioned come yet? Is there any accident?"
"It's probably coming soon."
Xia Chunqiu said slowly: "He is the secret thorn that I have hidden from the Taikou for twenty years. He is very smart and has good strength. There shouldn't be any accidents."
"Please be more patient, General. You have also seen that for the sake of safety, I only asked you to accompany me, and none of the other close relatives of the royal family accompanied me."
Chen Zangfeng nodded slowly: "Of course I can afford to wait. However, the war in the South China Sea has not been resolved until now. Your Majesty, you have repeatedly persuaded me to stand still."
"You must know that the war is like fire, so the general must be cautious!"
Xia Chunqiu defended: "Alas! General Chen is in a hurry. Aren't I the king in a hurry? It's just that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Now the Taikou army has occupied the main transportation road, and the information is blocked. It will be dangerous for you and me to attack rashly.
It’s really unwise.”
"When he arrives, he will reveal all the Taikoo's deployment, and we won't be as passive as we were a week ago if we use our troops again."
Hearing the other party mention the action a week ago, Chen Zangfeng's eyes couldn't help but darken.
That night, he made a plan to attack the east and attack the west, and asked the King of Huainan to lead the army out of the west gate. He himself led 3,000 soldiers to the east gate quietly, intending to penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Taikou landing in the South China Sea. Unexpectedly, he was hit by the opponent.
The ambush was unsuccessful.
About ten minutes later, Chen Zangfeng and Xia Chunqiu raised their heads at the same time and looked at the night sky diagonally ahead. There, there was a giant bat beast flying towards this place.
"He has finally arrived!" King Huainan said with a sigh of relief.
"That's very good." Chen Zangfeng also nodded secretly.
After a moment, the giant bat beast fell down, and a man wearing a mask with a grimace jumped down from its back. He immediately knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in worship: "I see you, Your Majesty."
Then, he cast a slightly wary gaze on Chen Zangfeng, who was also covering his mouth and nose with a black scarf, and asked: "Your Majesty, who is this?"
"Oh, he is General Chen, Chen Zangfeng." Xia Chunqiu smiled softly: "Don't worry, just say whatever you have to say. Since I brought him here with me, I can definitely trust him."
When Chen Zangfeng heard what he said, he was a little touched and thought: "Well... was the war disaster fifteen years ago really caused by the King of Huainan? Could it be that Shen'er was too worried?
It’s over…”
While General Chen was thinking secretly, the secret nail had already spoken: "Before I came here, I had drawn up a map of the military deployment of the Tai Kou on the coast of the South China Sea, and I would like to ask the prince to take a look at it!"
"Open it and let me and General Chen review the details together. Please tell me in detail, who is the chief general and who is the deputy general of the Yi Army this time when the Taikoo army invades? How much are the Xuanjing cannons, baggage, etc.?"
"Back to your lord, the commander of Tai Kou's attack this time is Huo Lin. The Chinese army has a total of 1.2 million, the left army has 350,000, the right army has 280,000, and there are also 18 mobile wing armies.
…”
The man wearing the mask with a ghostly face was speaking and slowly unfolding the scroll in front of Chen Zangfeng and Xia Chunqiu.
While Chen Zangfeng was listening intently and watching intently, the man with the grimace and the mask suddenly saw him. He raised his right sleeve and robe, and the three poisonous needles hidden in it suddenly shot out——
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
However, he still underestimated Chen Zangfeng's reaction: the moment the poisonous needles were shot out, the old man tilted his head sharply, and three poisonous needles whizzed past his ears.
He thought he had escaped, but he never thought that when he turned his head to dodge the poisonous needle, before the body-protecting Xuan Qi could wrap up his whole body, Xia Chunqiu, who was standing beside him, suddenly took action!
A poison-quenched dagger directly pierced Chen Zangfeng's side ribs. The tip of the blade sank into his right lung, and the poison eroded out in an instant...
It was only at this moment that Chen Zangfeng's body-protecting profound energy completely enveloped his whole body. As he jumped forward, his inner breath trembled——
"Whoosh!"
The dagger that broke his ribs and poisoned his lungs was forced to fly away. Along with this, there was a jet of black poisonous blood...
As a veteran of hundreds of battles, Chen Zangfeng's ability to respond to battles is naturally very strong. He immediately took out the Tianlong Yanyue Sword from the space mysterious ring and swallowed three mysterious pills, namely the Recovery Pill, the Bone Continuing Pill and the Qingqing Pill.
Poison elixir, to nurse the injury back to health.
"Xia Chunqiu, how dare you harm me?"
The old general was furious, and the pressure of the Six-Star Xuan King was suddenly released, intertwined with the firelight of the other two people, and illuminated the entire mountaintop like daylight.
While he was speaking, he did not forget to use Xuanqi to block the three major acupoints on the right lung, firstly to stop the bleeding, and secondly to delay the spread of the poison.
"Well? Chen Zangfeng, you are an old man, you are indeed the Six-Star Xuan King. It seems that what Chen Jinyang said is true to me!" Xia Chunqiu said with a sinister smile.
When Chen Shen attended the coming-of-age ceremony, Chen Xiong was killed, and Chen Jinyang almost went berserk and out of control.
It was at that time that Chen Zangfeng unleashed the power of the Six-Star Xuan King and forcibly suppressed the old man with an aquiline nose and a tiled face.
It was at that time that his cultivation was exposed to Chen Jinyang's eyes.
Chen Jinyang naturally had to report such a major event to King Huainan...
What Xia Chunqiu said just now was tantamount to confirming the news that Chen Jinyang was his spy.
Hearing this, Chen Zangfeng became even more angry. He turned to glance at the ghost-faced man, gritted his teeth and said, "Your profound energy is very familiar... Fire Lin?"
"Hahahaha, the old general is really insightful!"
While the ghost-faced man laughed wildly, he slowly took off his mask, revealing a face that Chen Zangfeng was all too familiar with - Taikou Kingdom's chief general: Huo Lin.
But for some reason, this guy's face seems to have changed a bit compared to before: one ear is bigger and the other is smaller, and there seems to be a big tumor on the tip of his nose, which looks quite funny.
These two injuries were naturally attributed to Chen Shen that day.
Huo Lin said that Chen Zangfeng "sees fire well", but he was actually just mocking the old man - if he really saw fire well, how could he and Xia Chunqiu jointly plot against him just now?
