Chapter 139 The mystery is hidden behind the truth
Qin Zhong and Lin Mu have arrived in Shangjing City for half a month. In addition to a few safe news, they also sent a few good or bad messages to everyone. The heavy casualties in Shangjing City are true. The Lin family
They were also raided. Although the entire mansion suffered a devastating blow, fortunately Lin Xiaoyuan and others successfully evacuated to Yufeng Villa under the cover of the guards. Xiaoyao Wang Yuanqing escaped from Ziyuan Forest at the cost of the people left behind by Zhenyun Academy.
One of the two senior warriors was dead and the other injured, Lingyun Hall was destroyed. The best news here is **, his family has not been affected, and is currently being taken to Yufeng Villa by Lin Mu, where it is relatively safe.
place.
However, what made Qin Zhong and Lu Fengyuan feel a little strange was that the emperor was also attacked. Judging from various sources, the team that attacked the emperor seemed to be different from the team that attacked the family. However, the emperor successfully escaped under the protection of the Dragon Guard.
, arrived at Weichanglinyuan outside the city to temporarily avoid risks.
Generally speaking, the word "chaos" can best be used to describe the entire Shangjing City.
Another piece of news came from halfway. On their way to the upper capital, the remnant forces of the Five Colleges were ambushed again. According to the oral accounts of the few survivors, the opponent was still a bloodthirsty monster. This news made
Lu Fengyuan felt the seriousness of the problem. A bloodthirsty monster appeared again behind Zhanyunguan Pass. Zhanyunguan Pass was facing a situation of being attacked from both sides.
Lu Fengyuan thought about it carefully, and immediately sent hundreds of scouts within five hundred miles after Zhanyunguan Pass to thoroughly check the surrounding security situation. Guards were also added to the south gate of Zhanyunguan Pass, and the few important ones in the pass were guarded.
All the mounted cavalry are placed here, and a large amount of food and grass from the logistics camp are also transported to Zhanyunguan to ensure that Zhanyunguan will not be troubled by food and grass within three months.
Soon, something happened that made Lu Fengyuan feel a danger signal. Scattered bloodthirsty monsters appeared around the logistics camp. Although they were all killed by the roving cavalry, this also showed that the danger was approaching.
"Lin Xian, I agree with your approach!" Lu Fengyuan found Lin Xian, "But don't go back to the capital!"
"What happened?"
"The people in the Five Great Colleges were ambushed by a powerful force four hundred miles away from Zhanyung Pass and were completely wiped out. According to the news that came back, the God of Plague may have taken action himself!"
"How is this possible?" Lin Xian looked at Lu Fengyuan in surprise. The existence of Zhanyun Pass was to block the monsters in the wasteland. This plague god was able to cross Zhanyun Pass and reach Zhongzhou. If this news spreads, it would definitely be a disaster.
It will cause huge chaos, which means that the function of Zhanyunguan as a barrier has been lost.
"Yes!" Lu Fengyuan smiled bitterly, "So you don't have to go to the capital city and Zhongzhou will probably start to get into chaos, but for our safety, you'd better come here!"
Lin Xian was a little surprised when he saw the area pointed by Lu Fengyuan on the map, "Why do you have to come here?"
"The Zhongzhou Divine Tower will be opened in a year. By that time, I estimate that many old guys will come out, so they must occupy a good position. Don't you want to go further? And you have been in the Divine Tower for ten years.
My younger brother, I guess he was at least a mid-level warrior when he came out, right? Now that things have happened in Shangjing City, we don’t have to go into this muddy water. Anyway, your Lin family didn’t suffer much loss. Some people will not be able to bear it.
living!"
"Okay, I understand. No wonder my father always said that you are far-sighted!" Lin Xian also knew that although Qingjun could make a lot of waves, it would also push the Lin family to the forefront, so it would be better to keep silent and make a fortune.
Take the opportunity to firmly grasp the power you can control in your hands.
"His original words should be that Lu Feng, the elder, is cunning, right?"
Lin Xian laughed a few times and said nothing. Lin Xiaoyuan did indeed say this when he said this. It was obvious that Lu Fengyuan understood his father.
The departure of more than 10,000 Tiger Guards did not cause much disturbance. Everyone had heard more or less news about Shangjing City, but most people did not know who the more than 10,000 Tiger Guards were.
Lin Xian carefully selected them. Even if the emperor's decree came to them, they would listen to Lin Xian's opinion first. Therefore, these Tiger Guards can be called the Lin family's private soldiers. This is also the result of the Lin family's years of management.
When Lin Xian led the Tiger Guards to leave, a few people quietly entered Zhanyun Pass. These people dressed as hunting teams entered Zhanyun Pass and did not attract much attention. After all, the hunting teams in Zhanyun Pass during these days
Coming and going, it was more lively than before.
These people first stayed in the inn, and then sent the inn waiter to deliver a letter. The waiter held a piece of low-grade Lingyun Stone in his hand and grinned from ear to ear. Such generous guests are really rare.
After Lu Kanglai finished reading the letter in his hand, he immediately rushed to Lu Fengyuan's study.
"Uncle, the thirteenth princess has arrived at Zhanyunguan Pass!"
"What? How did you know?" Lu Fengyuan was a little strange.
When Lu Fengyuan read the letter in Lu Kanglai's hand, he immediately fell into confusion. The content of the letter was very simple. The thirteenth princess Yuan Xin needed to meet Lu Fengyuan secretly.
"Kang Lai, what do you think of this matter?"
"I don't know. Although I have met Princess Thirteen a few times, we didn't have a deep relationship. However, the head coach seems to have a good relationship with the princess on weekdays!"
"That's natural. Qin Zhong almost became the consort and the brother-in-law of the Thirteenth Princess!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing for the head coach?" Lu Kanglai immediately became energetic.
"Okay, don't ask about these useless things! Go tell the princess that I, Lu Fengyuan, met her in the Warriors Association."
When Lu Fengyuan arrived at the Warriors Association, Lu Kanglai had already made arrangements here. When he stepped into a training ground, he saw the thirteenth princess Yuan Xin standing there with no one around. This made Lu Feng
Yuan felt very strange.
"Your Highness, why did you arrive at Zhanyunguan Pass?" Lu Fengyuan quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Yuan Xin raised his hand slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, the guardian. Something happened in the capital! I took the liberty to come here and disturbed the guardian!"
Lu Fengyuan nodded: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is right. The general is indeed a little worried. I wonder if there is anything important that Her Royal Highness has to do when she comes to Zhanyunguan Pass?"
"Yes!" Yuan Xin nodded, and then told Lu Fengyuan a piece of news that shocked Lu Fengyuan: "The emperor was bewitched and killed all the aristocratic families in the capital. The high priest asked me to come here to avoid the risk!"
"You are a princess, why do you come to Zhanyunguan Pass?"
"Although I am a princess, I am also a descendant of His Holiness. Those who confuse the Emperor may not tolerate me!" Yuan Xin also seemed helpless.
Lu Fengyuan was also doubtful about what Yuan Xin said. After all, the emperor took action first. Who knows whether the Thirteenth Princess is another Song Kangtai.
"Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has said it, the general will not neglect it, but I have just received news that four hundred miles away from Zhanyunguan, the staff of the Five Great Halls returning to Beijing were ambushed. Almost no one was spared, and from all directions
There are indications that this attacking force is almost the same as the one that attacked Iron Guard City before, so Zhanyunguan Pass is not a safe place either!,"
"I know about this!" Yuan Xin did not show any surprise, "It was the order from the emperor, and the news was passed on by Song Kangtai. The person who took action was the god of plague from the wasteland. He reached a deal with the emperor and killed
Everything within a thousand miles around Yunguan belongs to him!"
"What?" Lu Fengyuan was shocked now. The emperor actually traded Zhanyunguan as a bargaining chip. Didn't he know that Zhanyunguan maintained the security of the entire northern Zhongzhou?
"Yes, this is the decision made by the emperor himself!" Yuan Xin sighed and said, "All of these are talismans!"
"Sacred talisman?" Lu Fengyuan was stunned for a moment, "What talisman?"
"Of course it's the Nine Cauldron Talisman!" Yuan Xin's lips curled up slightly, full of complex taste, "Nan Yu discovered the magic talisman. This is true. The emperor secretly sent shadow warriors to find the magic talisman, but the magic talisman was not found.
It was damaged. He took advantage of the oracle to get a piece of news, went to the wasteland to find materials to repair the talisman, and somehow reached a deal with the God of Plague!"
Yuan Xin's blockbuster news is even more shocking than the deal between the Emperor and the God of Plague. The Jiuding Talisman has reappeared in the world. Obviously, if this news spreads, it will not be easy for the Emperor to keep this Talisman.
, so he struck first and eliminated the most powerful force in Zhongzhou, so that even if someone coveted the talisman, he would not have the power to fight for it.
"It's really a good strategy!" Lu Fengyuan sighed. It was obvious that he was the only one with the strongest strength in Zhongzhou at present. However, if he removed the Zhongwu Army and the remaining Tiger Guards from Zhanyunguan, the original
He doesn't have much power of his own, and is still under the surveillance of the Zhongwu Army. Coupled with Song Kangtai hiding in the dark and the elusive God of Plague, Zhanyunguan may have long been on people's plates.
"Princess, since Zhanyunguan is also the target of the Plague God, why does the high priest want you to come here?"
Yuan Xin smiled: "Guardian, when did I say that Zhanyunguan Pass is the target of the Plague God? I just said that a thousand miles around Zhanyunguan Pass belongs to the Plague God. Don't forget where this place is. The God himself fortified it.
These spar towers that have been erected for thousands of years are not just decorations. Even if the God of Plague wants to capture the Cloud-Zhanying Pass, it will probably not be easy for him!"
Only then did Lu Fengyuan understand what the high priest meant. The Cloud-Zhanying Pass was a stable boat within the control of the Plague God in northern Zhongzhou. The Plague God could not take it, but it could besiege it. In this way, other forces would have to pass through if they wanted to occupy the Cloud-Zhanying Pass.
The God of Plague, this is equivalent to using the God of Plague as the guard of Cloud-Zhanying Pass. It is estimated that only people like the High Priest can come up with this idea.
