Chapter 237 Defying the will of heaven and taking your life! (Second update)
The following banquet was lackluster.
The two golden fates made Yang Yu's heart agitate.
It's just a matter of being a highly respected minister. Such a fate is certainly extremely valuable, but 'splitting the soil and sealing the territory' is different.
The leader of a state like Nie Wendong can be called a frontier official, but the meaning of cracking the soil is completely different from it.
"In troubled times, heroes rise from all directions..."
As he drank cup after cup of wine, Yang Yu's eyes dimmed.
He had smelled the atmosphere of troubled times a long time ago. Not only him, many knowledgeable people could also see something from various signs.
But that's just speculation after all.
It has been four hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has declined, it still has an army that has fought hundreds of battles, and there are still ministers at the center. In everyone's mind, even if such a behemoth is to fall, it may not be long before it falls.
Yang Prison thought the same way before.
Although there is chaos in Qingzhou, the Ming Dynasty has been raising scholars for four hundred years. There are many ministers like Xu Wenji who are devoted to the imperial court, and it is still possible to save the building from collapse.
But now it seems...
"Xiao Zhan colluded with party members and eliminated dissidents in the army. Over the years, the army's lieutenants and generals have suffered a lot from him. Brother Yang is really a great kindness to us for eliminating this harm!"
Halfway through the banquet, Wu Changbai was already half drunk and started talking too much.
Yang Yu could clearly see that among the generals present, he was the youngest and the least skilled in martial arts, but they all seemed to be subtly agreeing with him. Although he was not the leader, it was enough to show that his status among these generals was not high.
enemy.
It should be noted that if Yu Liang invites him to accompany him, these generals all hold real power.
"Here's to Brother Yang! You won't come back until you're drunk!"
"good!"
The drunkenness was welling up, and all the generals and captains cheered and drank cup after cup.
Yang Yu was a little absent-minded.
Although everything you see in Tongyou is destiny, if you think about it carefully, you can also see a little bit of a person's destiny.
For example, at this moment, what was lingering in his mind were Wu Changbai's destiny entries.
Bravely championing the three armies, charging through the pass in anger, being a powerful minister, splitting the soil and sealing the territory...these terms were gathered together, and after considering his status and environment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
'Is it possible that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes will collaborate with the enemy and treason?'
This thought made Yang Yu feel a little uneasy.
Thinking about it carefully, it becomes more and more possible...
"In this military purge, everyone led by the Xiao family has been eliminated. You all are expected to make further progress."
Even Yu Liang, who was a bit drunk, smiled and catered to her, and finally showed off her breath.
I would like to recommend some young generals to go to Longyuandao to study, and along the way, they can also participate in martial arts examinations.
Hearing this, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more intense.
"Martial arts competition?"
Wu Changbai's eyes lit up and he toasted frequently.
Although Yu Liang had a scholarly spirit, he had a very good drinking capacity and would not refuse anyone who came. When he arrived, most of the people were drunk on the table. Wu Changbai, who had a better drinking capacity, was also a little unsteady.
"Brother Yang, with the help of wine, let's not talk about friendship."
Yu Liang burped and said:
"Although the six gates are excellent, that Fang Qidao is not a good person. Rather than being under his command, it is better to join our Qingzhou Army!"
"With your martial arts and achievements, you will be highly regarded by the general..."
It seemed like a casual comment, but Yu Liang was very serious.
In yesterday's battle, the shock he suffered was far greater than the others. Others did not know how difficult it was to defeat Xiao Zhan with the weak defeating the strong.
But he knew it.
With the body of three levels, he counterattacked the masters of five levels. Such a record is not many in the world, not to mention Qingzhou and Longyuandao!
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yu's eyes suddenly changed, and he saw a flash of surprise on Wu Feibai's face. Although it only flashed by, there was a dumb smile in his heart.
"Yang has a lazy temperament and cannot bear the harshness of the army. There are many talents under the general's command, and there is no shortage of Yang Yu."
Yang Yu politely refused.
What Yu Liang said is true, Fang Qidao is indeed not a good person, but he may not be much better in the army.
There may be reasons for Xiao Zhan to be where he is today, and it may not be due to the deliberate connivance of General Wei.
Not to mention, the Six Gates at this time should be a more suitable place for him to go than the Jinyiwei.
After all, the chief arrester is one of our own.
"That's fine."
Yu Liang felt regretful, but he stopped trying to persuade him and toasted with a smile.
Yang Yu smiled and clinked glasses with him. He glanced at Wu Changbai with his peripheral vision, but his heart moved slightly.
Move through the secluded area again.
Fiddle with and change your destiny is not without limits.
In more than ten days, after countless attempts, Yang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the pros and cons of this magical power.
First of all, destiny cannot be seen by oneself. No matter what method he uses, he cannot see his destiny.
Secondly, there are high and low fates. A higher fate can cover a lower fate, but not vice versa.
Finally, and most importantly, any absorption of fate will be met with backlash, or in other words, backlash.
If you want to change your destiny, you have to bear the weight of fate.
"Try?"
Covered by the smell of alcohol, Yang Yu was ready to make a move.
The scarcity of golden destiny can be seen from just the four characters "Popularity and Humanity". Looking at the world, there may not be many of them.
You must know that Xu Wenji, a veteran of the two dynasties, who rose to the rank of Minister of War, Crown Prince and Grand Master, is a bit reluctant to call him an extremely human minister.
If you miss this opportunity, you may not get it again.
call!
As soon as he thought about it, in the cauldron of gluttony, the purple-gold evil-swallowing treasure gourd began to tremble and hum.
"Why?"
Almost at the same time, the drunken Wu Changbai trembled, tightened his clothes, stood up unsteadily, went to close the window, and muttered, "This is a bad thing."
Before he finished speaking, he passed out drunkenly by the window and made a thud.
On the other side, Yu Liang heard a strange noise and looked back. Yang Yu was also drunk and lying on the table. He seemed to be unconscious. He couldn't help but smile:
"One person drank a lot of people at my table, and I said you can't get drunk after a thousand cups..."
…
…
fluttering~
As the air flow roared, eagles flew away from Tianlang Pass and flew in all directions.
The eagle is an exotic bird. It is very small, much smaller than a pigeon, but its speed is much faster than that of a falcon. It can fly extremely high and fly thousands of feet, making it difficult for people to detect and intercept it.
It's just because these exotic birds have a short lifespan and are difficult to maintain. Unless they have important information, they won't be used at all.
But that night passed, dozens of eagles broke through the sky and left.
One of them left the pass and headed north. When the sky was dark, it swooped down from the clouds and landed in the military camp that stretched for more than ten miles.
Not long after, a secret letter was sent to the general's tent.
In front of the marching map, which was one foot tall and several feet long, Wei Zheng stood with his hands behind his hands. In front of him, several staff members were pointing and expressing their thoughts.
All the generals in the army stood aside, either listening with their hands down, or looking at the marching plan, and most of them were observing the generals' expressions.
"Report, secret message from Tianlang Pass!"
Suddenly, a spy came to report and delivered a secret message.
"Huh?"
After receiving the secret letter and opening it, Wei Zhengxian's eyes narrowed slightly and he was a little surprised.
"I dare to ask the general, but something big happened in the pass?"
Several generals stood up and asked.
"A big thing, a big thing indeed."
Wei Zhengxian's expression was subtle. As he spoke, he looked around at the generals present one by one:
"Xiao Zhan is dead."
Um?
There was a slight silence in the big tent. The generals seemed to have not recovered and were still thinking about who Xiao Zhan was. When they realized what they were doing, there was an uproar.
"Commander Xiao?! He's dead?!"
"With his martial arts skills and at Tianlang Pass, who can kill him?!"
"Who dares to kill a general in our army?! There are only ten people with this ability in Qingzhou. Could it be that they are from other states?"
…
There was an uproar in the big tent.
Xiao Zhan, who is he?
In this borderland, his reputation is second only to that of Wei Zhengxian, and even surpasses him in some aspects.
Such a person is actually dead?!
Still died at Tianlang Pass where the army was stationed?
"The murderer, Yang Prison."
Hearing the strange yet somewhat familiar name from Wei Zhengxian's mouth, all the generals in the tent were a little confused. It didn't take long before someone remembered:
"The one who catches heads with six bronze medals, nicknamed 'Decapitating Knife', and known as 'Yang Beheads'?"
"It's him?"
"The head catcher from Six Gates has such great abilities? He's just a head catcher with a bronze medal?"
Hearing someone calling out Yang Yu's origin, some were suddenly enlightened, and most of them were surprised and confused.
Although promotion in the six sects relies on merit, the strength of martial arts is also an important measure. The bronze medal to catch the head is mostly just the practice of building the foundation of the second and third levels.
Wei Zhengxian stood silently and allowed the generals to make noise. After a long time, he said:
"Well done!"
call!
The noise suddenly stopped.
"General?!"
Some people reacted, their expressions suddenly changed, and they tried to escape, but looking at the demon-like man in the tent, they finally fell to their knees with pale faces.
"General..."
Seeing those people kneeling on the ground, the other generals also reacted.
Yes.
Without the consent of his own general, who can kill, who dares to kill the second-in-command in the Qingzhou Army?
There are also people who are timid in their hearts.
He guessed that Wei Zhengxian would take action sooner or later, but he did not expect that Xiao Zhan would have been killed before he even took action...
"Xiao Zhan is dead. There is no point in talking about whether he has merit or demerit."
Wei Zheng first stood with his hands behind his back, finally taking in the changes in his expression, he said calmly:
"The battle is about to begin, go and 'camp first' yourself!"
"Thank you, General, for showing mercy beyond the law!"
The few people kneeling on the ground kowtowed heavily as if they had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly left. When they got out of the tent, they discovered that a familiar human head was hanging on a high pole not far away.
But he is an important figure in the Xiao family.
Several people's hearts trembled, no more luck.
"General, are you going to let them go like this?"
After seeing a few people leaving, the general gritted his teeth and asked.
"The first culprit has been punished, so there is no need to punish the others too harshly."
Wei Zheng waved his hand first, then looked at the marching map again, pointed at the light and mountains, and asked questions one by one.
"General..."
Seeing his casual attitude, everyone felt a little chilled in their hearts.
Once upon a time, many people thought that Wei Zhengxian was old and no longer the great general Tianlang he once was, so that Xiao Zhan usurped power, but now it seems.
Maybe he never cared at all.
Whether it is Xiao Zhan or anyone else, as long as he is still alive, he will still be the master of the Qingzhou Army!
