Chapter 416 The Eve of Peace Talks(1/2)

The moon that night was always buried behind the clouds and mist.

But the soldiers in the Jin army camp used the torches raised high in their hands to illuminate the land where they were like daylight.

Jiao Chu slowly moved forward in the fire, and the blood spilled on the ground seemed to be guiding him. When he finally came to the fence outside the military camp, he saw Jiao Yuan being nailed to it and dying with his eyes.

Jiao Yuan's body was opened from the bottom of his chest, and his blood and intestines fell on the wood in the fence.

Jiao Chu stood up unsteadily and took a step back. When everyone was about to help him, he pushed away the hands that everyone reached out, and he wanted to stand there by himself.

Zhang Mang, who was kneeling beside him, buried his entire head in the ground, and he had no face to meet Jiao Chu.

Mei'er, who was crying in the fence before, sobbed and said, "Master, my husband was killed by the Qin people. The thief also said that if you don't bring these Jin troops back, we will all die here!"

Jiao Chu looked at Mei'er kindly and said, "Yuan'er likes you very much, do you like him?"

Mei'er didn't know why Jiao Chu suddenly asked about this, but the soldiers of Jin State here were looking at her, so she had to reply affectionately: "I like it. Mei'er was born from the Jiao family, and died from the Jiao family's ghost."

Jiao Chu nodded and said, "It's good to say! Yuan'er didn't dislike your origin and took you as a concubine. Since that's the case, you can also be a ghost to accompany him."

Mei'er was shocked when she heard this. She was just a scene. She didn't expect Jiao Chu to really want her to accompany Jiao Yuan. She didn't want to die at such a young age. Just as she was asking for love, a cold steel knife could no longer be allowed to be inserted into her abdomen. She felt that her breathing was getting faster and faster. Before the pain could be transmitted, the steel knife had already pulled out of her body. She watched her blood gush out like a fountain. She wanted to grab something, but she fell down without any grasping.

Jiao Chu took the bloody long knife back to his waist with expressionless face. He asked Zhang Mang on the ground and said, "What did I tell you in the camp!"

Zhang Mang kowtowed to the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "The general said that the emperor gave you a secret order and also gave you a message, saying that Emperor Kaiyuan arranged a group of killers to sneak into Jinmen Pass. You are afraid that once you leave Jinmen Pass, the young master and his family will be harmed by their hands, so he led the young master and his family to march with you."

Jiao Chu asked again: "Then what have you promised me!"

"Damn it!" Zhang Mang suddenly smashed his head to the ground, then straightened up and pulled out the steel knife from his waist and was about to commit suicide to apologize.

Jiao Chu held Zhang Mang's steel knife in one hand, and his right hand was cut by the blade and blood splashed, but Jiao Chu seemed to have no pain at all.

Zhang Mang hurriedly let go of the steel knife and said in panic: "General, please take care of yourself!"

Jiao Chu inserted Zhang Mang's steel knife into the ground. He looked around the generals and soldiers and said to Zhang Mang: "Tell me, what did the Qin people say!"

Zhang Mang shouted: "The Qin Taoist priest flew into the sky and killed the young master and said that this was a small punishment and commandment from Emperor Kaiyuan! If the general did not bring back this group of Jin waste, the young master would be the fate of all of us!"

Jiao Chu shouted to the generals and soldiers around him, "Did you hear it?"

The soldiers of the generals holding the torches were filled with righteous indignation: "I heard it!"

Jiao Chu pointed at Jiao Yuan with his bloody right hand and said, "It is my son who died with great urgency! He was killed by those who did not believe the will of the emperor to go to Jia Customs to report. In Na Jia Customs, Qin not only had immortals who could fly, but also hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry waiting for him. In their eyes, our 300,000 soldiers of Jinmen Pass are wastes of Jin State! I know some of you who want to go back, and I will let you go today! But in the future, don't say that you are soldiers of Jinmen Pass, because you are not worthy! If you want to go back, stand up now, as the Taoist said, go back to Jin State!"

Jiao Chu's words deeply pierced the hearts of all the soldiers here. None of them moved their steps, and they all looked like wolves and tigers at the direction of the Qin and Wei borders in the east.

I don’t know who took the lead and knelt down and said, “Please lead us to fight to the death!”

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers here knelt down and said, "Please lead us to fight to the death!"

Jiao Chu asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!" the soldiers replied.

Jiao Chu said again: "The other party has an immortal! Do you dare to kill an immortal?"

Hearing the word "Immortal", all the soldiers' eyes burst into anger and said, "Dare you!"

"Okay! Then I'll swear here. If I don't teach the Qin army to repay the blood debt, I will not be a human being!" Jiao Chu said with his bloody right hand tightly.

"Blood debt and blood repayment! Blood debt and blood repayment!" All the dispersed military morale in front condensed to the extreme at this moment.

On the black cloud, Jin Wei, who had a black spirit stationed on his shoulder, laughed and said, "Isn't this a great boost in the morale of the army? Use the life of a waste to affect the fate of the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin and Wei. Jiao Yuan, you are worth it. Let's go back and see what's going on over Qin and Wei."

It turned out that Jiao Yuan's sudden disaster was all Jin Wei wanted to die to gather the morale of the Jin army with his death. The only son of the chief general died at the hands of the enemy, leaving behind such intimidation words, so Jin Wei gave Jiao Chu a psychological hint when he sent the imperial edict, so Jiao Chu said in his words just now that Jiao Yuan died at the hands of the Jin army who went to Jiao Customs to report. Jin Wei saw that Jiao Chu was in a state of dying with the Qin army, and he knew that Jiao Chu was preparing to take all the Jin soldiers here to bury Jiao Yuan, which was exactly what Jin Wei wanted to see.

Hei Ling's awe for Jin Wei was aggravated again. It stared at the pitiful stupid people below and flew towards Jia Customs with Jin Wei.

Unlike Jin Wei who was in control of everything here, everyone who waited for Shi Wu to come back in Leishan Pass frowned.

Shi Wu told them that Emperor Kaiyuan only asked Gao Jing, the commander of the Black Armor Army, to come out and get the peace talks. As for Emperor Kaiyuan's reply, it was given at the Qin and Wei border at the Si hour tomorrow.

Qiansijun saw the intention first and said, "What a Kaiyuan Emperor!"

Scorpion asked, "How can you explain this to Mr. Qiansi?"

Qiansijun replied: "You are the Si time of the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Kaiyuan clearly wanted to give us Wei State a warning."

Scorpion sneered knowingly, and she said to herself: "Does this regard our Wei Kingdom as his courtiers? I originally just wanted to take you with me tomorrow, but tomorrow will not be that simple."

Mr. Feng An echoed: "Mr. Scorpion! My subordinates believe that we should lead all our troops and not be weaker than them in terms of momentum."

Cai Lianjun was worried and said, "Will this be too provocative?"

Yao Yujun said dissatisfiedly: "So what about provocation? Are you treated like a vassal state and worshipping the Kaiyuan Emperor?"

Si Ling looked at Shi Wu, who sent her voice with spiritual energy. Si Ling nodded and said, "Happy rest tonight, everyone will have a chance. Tomorrow, 200,000 members of my Five Immortals Sect will go to the border of Wei and Qin with their natal Gu."

Everyone saluted and said, "Affect the leader's order!"

After everyone dispersed one by one, Sha Ling left Shi Wu and said, "Young Master, why did you ask me to bring all the Five Immortals members with you? Aren't you afraid of Jin Wei's trick?"

Shi Wu expressed his concern and said, "I'm afraid! But I'm even more worried that Emperor Kaiyuan will be prepared to attack you off guard. He must be guarded against others, and I need to consider your safety."

Scorpion said gratefully: "Thank you, Young Master."

Shi Wu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite between you and me. I always think something will happen tomorrow, so you must be careful."

Scorpion nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll leave first." Shi Wu thought about the matter and left the gate of the convention residence.

Ding Yu, who was waiting outside, saw Shi Wuzhi walking by himself, chased him and asked, "Shangxian, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Wu came to his senses and saw that Ding Yu was calling him, and said, "I am thinking about tomorrow. I should have taken the opportunity to send a peace talk to persuade Emperor Kaiyuan tonight, but Emperor Kaiyuan didn't see me at all. Jin Wei has not shown up yet, and I am afraid that he will be surprised tomorrow."

Ding Yu was optimistic: "Supreme Immortal, you have too many thoughts. How many people in this mortal world are your opponents? Even if Jin Wei wants to disrupt the situation in the middle, isn't there a powerful national teacher in Qin? With the strength of your two of you joining forces, are you still afraid of Jin Wei?"

Shi Wu said cautiously: "Jin is very reasonable for this person. His cultivation is likely to be in the late stage of foundation building or above the Jindan stage. What is even more terrifying is his scheming. Just in case, you should not go there tomorrow and stay at Leishan Pass."

Ding Yu shook his head and said, "Supreme Immortal, although I am just a top-ranked swordsman in the inner family, I want to face it with Ling'er."

When Shi Wu heard Ding Yu's name for Sha Ling changed, he laughed and said, "Okay. By the way, your Ling'er has shed a lot of blood today, so you can care about it."

"Ah? Then I'll go there." Ding Yu hurriedly said goodbye to Shi Wu when he heard this.

Shi Wu seemed to see how he cared about Xu Lu back then, and nodded and said, "Go."

In a state of uneasiness, Shi Wu went around and came to Yongshijun's prison car.

Here are guarded by elders of the Five Vein Craters, and there are also the worms summoned by their natal Gu outside. When they saw Shi Wu coming, they saluted and said, "See Feng Nuanjun."

After Shi Wu returned the gift, he saw that the hands and feet of Yongshijun in the prison car had been shackled. He knew that Yongshijun tomorrow would be given to Emperor Kaiyuan as one of the conditions for peace talks. He said to Emperor Yongshijun: "Emperor Kaiyuan sets the peace talks at the time of tomorrow."

When Yongshi heard this, he frowned and said, "Emperor Kaiyuan's actions are not good."

Shi Wudao: "I can still understand him because he has a grudge in his heart. But that person has not appeared yet, and I always feel that I missed something."

Yongshijun said: "A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. The more you think, the more you worry. It is better to calm down and wait for a move to deal with it tomorrow."

Shi Wu looked at the open-minded Yongshijun and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a good alcohol tolerance, otherwise I could have a drink with you."

Yongshijun smiled and said, "There is no need to drink. If you have any trouble, Feng Nuanjun help me guard the last night?"

"Okay!" Shi Wu agreed and sat cross-legged.

Yongshijun used his hands as pillows and said, "Then I can have a good sleep tonight."

The five elders guarding Yongshijun here looked at the two of them who looked like friends in confusion, but they clearly saw these two people fighting with their lives in the altar, and even the stone military general Yongshijun sent them on this road of no return.

They would not understand that in the heart of Yongshijun who saw through life and death, Shi Wu was already his friend.

In Jia Customs, Gao Jing was so busy that he asked Situ Xiong to notify the generals and ran to Shi Yu's side, informing him to lead the team of martial arts heroes to gather at Chenshi and rush to the Qin-Wei border at Sishi.

Shi Yu said excitedly: "Will the war start tomorrow?"

Seeing Shi Yu looking anxious, Gao Jing replied to him: "The King of the Backers, the emperor has accepted the peace talks from Wei State. Whether the war will start depends on the result of tomorrow's peace talks."

Shi Yu asked, "Then what do you think the emperor has the idea of ​​going to war against Wei?"

Gao Jing frowned and said, "Please respect yourself, don't guess the holy intention."

Shi Yu knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "It was Shi Yu who said the wrong thing. I hope that Commander Gao would not report these words to the emperor because we have worked together for many years."

"Hey, Brother Shi, I know the matter at home. To be honest, this matter is really messy and messy. I hope Brother Shi, don't be persistent, wait until the lord gives orders before making a long-term plan." Gao Jing advised.

Shi Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Commander Gao for your advice."

Gao Jing knew that it was inconvenient to stay here, so he stood up and said, "I have to go and report to the emperor, so I will say goodbye first."

"Leading slowly, Commander Gao." Shi Yu sent Gao Jing all the way to the door.

Seeing that Shi Yu had no longer his former charm, he was the only one in this temporary residence, and he was also very moved.

After Gao Jing left, a coldness appeared in Shi Yu's eyes. He wanted to let the Qin and Wei countries go to war, and he wanted to avenge Shi Wu. Shi Yu walked quickly and found the inn where the Jianghu knights were arranged to stay in Jia Customs.

Eight years ago, the martial arts people who escaped from Tian's martial arts field were called by Shi Yu and all came here. However, after they arrived, they also discovered Shi Yu's abnormality. A martial arts leader who broke his right arm with his sword obviously made many people feel restless, among which Yang Ling, the martial arts master, set up a mountain sword and Wen Tian, ​​the soul-breaking gun.

After Shi Yu entered the inn, Yang Ling and Wen Tian were savoring wine and food in the room.

Shi Yu explained his purpose: "Tomorrow, gather at Chen and wait at the border of Qin and Wei at Si."

Yang Ling's eyes were on Shi Yu's empty right arm, and he said straight to the point: "Bbrother King, Brother Wen and I were promised by you this time to bring nearly two thousand people from the world. Don't use people to face the front and back then."

Shi Yu knew that these two old foxes wanted to make themselves fulfill their promises first. He took out a letter and a seal from his arms and said, "This is the abdication document written by me personally. This is the seal of the leader of the martial arts world. You can choose one of them. When the battle between Qin and Wei ends, I will present the rest immediately."
