Chapter 828 The Holy Oracle with a Gun and a Stick Hidden
Under the candlelight, Xia Yuanlong stared at the text message left by Chen Shen, pinched the signature with his thumb, and murmured to himself: "Killer, robbery? Why have I never heard of such a thing in the world of killers and assassins before?
Number one?"
Beside the dragon chair, the eunuch Li Zongming stood with his hands down and did not answer.
In the secular world, assassins rarely work alone. Most of them belong to a certain assassin group, which is collectively known as the "Assassin's League".
The Assassin's League is engaged in the business of using people's money to eliminate disasters. It adheres to the principle that when one member is in trouble, all members help each other, so that even if they know who the assassin is, those who seek revenge will not dare to act rashly.
It is no exaggeration to say that the League of Assassins is a hornet's nest that can be destroyed in one fell swoop. Almost no one wants to mess with such a being.
Therefore, without knowing the reality of the other party, even if Xia Yuanlong is the leader of a country, he would not dare to rush to arrest him across the country——
Especially when this assassin is extremely powerful.
Think about it, one person can kill the prince instantly under the eyes of two thousand prince's guards with just his own strength.
Afterwards, he disappeared under Fu Tiansheng's investigation, and still dared to leave a letter openly and honestly. How could he be like Yi?
After a long silence, the King of Daxia suddenly stood up: "Check for me! Find out who this killer Jie is. If necessary, use the name of Gu to invite him to see him!"
"I want to treat others with their own way! If Tai Kou can ask him to kill my son, I will pay ten times the price to take the head of the commander of Tai Kou's invading army!"
"yes!"
"Also, although the prince has passed away, the war in the south cannot be slackened."
Xia Yuanlong's voice was drawn out and slightly tired, and he ordered: "Fu Tiansheng cannot command the army, then let Chen Shen take over the prince's army, continue southward, and recapture the cities in the southern region as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
After the chief eunuch respectfully accepted the order, he still refused to step down and deliver the order, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Xia Yuanlong raised his eyebrows, regained his lazy attitude, and said unhurriedly: "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, this old slave is worried that once this order is issued, Fu Tiansheng may not be willing to obey Chen Shen's dispatch. And he has stated his position before that he will never leave until the real culprit who assassinated His Royal Highness is found and killed.
Prince Commander, look at this..."
Hearing this, the King of Daxia snorted: "Huh, since that old guy wants to stay in the army, let him."
"Later, you will draft a decree for Gu, so that all his actions must obey Chen Shen's instructions. As for who can suppress whom, it depends on their respective abilities!"
After saying that, Xia Yuanlong lay back lazily with his eyes closed: "Let them fight! Chen Shen has been too strong recently. He should find someone to suppress him and let him know how much he weighs."
Two, don’t be too inflated..."
The old eunuch rolled his eyes and immediately accepted the order with a smile: "Old slave, I understand."
Another day passed quietly.
In the sky above Kowloon City, a royal griffon beast once again landed gracefully.
Immediately, a palace official who delivered the decree stepped out and shouted: "Where is General Chen Shenchen? His Majesty's decree has arrived!"
"This..." The prince's army generals looked confused.
Even the members of the Knight Cavalry Army and the Blood-Slaying Guards don't know where their immediate superiors have wandered away.
Then, Lieutenant General Li Dezhi stood up with a wry smile: "Reporting to the envoy, Commander Chen left the city alone two days ago, saying he was going to inquire about the enemy situation in the southern region, but he has not returned yet."
"Oh? You've been away for two days and you haven't come back yet?"
"Yes. Before Commander Chen left, he asked the last general to take full charge of military affairs. I wonder what your majesty's orders are? If the military order is urgent, it may be that the last general can take charge first."
The palace official who passed the order thought for a moment, and after recalling what the great eunuch Li Zongming had said personally, he waved his hand decisively: "No, this order must be received by General Chen personally. I will wait for him here."
Already."
…
At the same time, Chen Shen was riding a red rabbit over the mountains and ridges 2,300 miles south of Kowloon City!
In the past two days, Chen Shen passed through three cities and eleven villages and found that they had all fallen into the hands of the Huainan rebels.
In order to avoid disturbing the situation, Chen Shen walked through the mysterious beast forest along the way.
Every few dozen miles, he will activate the Omniscient Map skill, and he will memorize the surrounding army deployment and geographical terrain.
At this time, the boy was taking a nap in a cave.
Outside the cave, Xiao Bai, Red Rabbit and Han Tianhu were all eating the Xuan Jing with relish. When they got high, they would lie down on the grassy slope and enjoy the soft but not spicy sunbathing in winter.
Chen Shen picked up a long stone and wrote and drew on the loose soil, while saying to himself: "There are enemy troops stationed in these places, but there are only twenty to thirty thousand troops in each place, so it is difficult to establish a climate.
"
"Come to think of it, the main force of their march north was invested in Kun Qianyao's troops. It's a pity that the old boy's troops have already been completely destroyed by me."
"Wow, wow..."
Chen Shen drew two more sketches with the stone in his hand and said to himself: "There are ambushes here and here."
"There are thousands of warriors on both sides to lure the enemy. Tsk, it seems that the military commander of the Huainan Palace is still very good at fighting!"
"Well...only this place is a problem: Yutong Pass!"
"Yutong Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are still 100,000 heavy troops guarding it. And judging from the flag, it is actually the flag of the Taikou."
"As long as Yutong is defeated, we will enter the Six Hundred Miles Plain, and the cavalry can march straight into Triangle City, one of the three major towns on the north side of the Huaijiang River..."
For the next few days, Chen Shen was doing the same thing: investigating, analyzing, understanding the enemy's deployment, and looking for flaws.
On this day, Kowloon City, the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.
The palace official who delivered the order did not expect that he would be in this situation for eight days.
Just when he was about to lose his temper, he received the news of Chen Shen's return.
Not long after, the heroic cavalry army, the blood-sucking guards, the prince's army, the royal cavalry, etc. all gathered together, and the palace official read out the imperial edict loudly.
After hearing the order, Fu Tiansheng was the first to stand up and glanced at Chen Shen with a disdainful look: "The prince's army is under his command? Huh, what a waste!"
"Chen Shen, since it is the King of Daxia's wish, I accept it. However, don't expect to be able to command me!"
Hearing this, the palace official secretly rejoiced: "Hey, it's just like what the eunuch said. As soon as the decree was read, the conflict between the two sides broke out and they started fighting."
"I have to wait for the right moment to add fire..."
At this moment, Chen Shen suddenly smiled: "Haha, Mr. Fu, are you openly stating that you are unwilling to obey my orders?"
Fu Tiansheng curled his lips in disdain and said arrogantly: "What a joke! You want to dominate me? You don't even know how many pounds you have!"
