Chapter 94 The Lord, the truth of Caocheng (2)
Mount Peinan was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "It's not an excuse, but... it's true that it can't be done."
The empty and clear sound scattered in all directions, which only made people feel chilled.
Chu Cangyue suddenly pursed her lips, and her eyes became colder by the inch like ice: "Back then, there was a rumor that a gray-eyed Confucian scholar cut off the flesh and fed the blood to revive Mrs. Zheng of Wei State, who had been dead for a day. This can be said to be the work of your people.
?But it’s fake?”
Chu Cangyue's repeated questioning, every word was mixed with strong pressure and swept towards Chief Peinan. Not to mention that the person being questioned felt his shoulders were heavy, and even the people around him felt numbness and pain in their head membranes.
Mount Pei Nan took a deep breath and nodded: "It's true."
"Then why -" The smile on Chu Cangyue's face paused, and she suddenly narrowed her eyes: "You said you can't, could it be that... you don't want to?"
Chief Peinan was not in a hurry to answer, but stroked his robe that was blown up by the wind. Even though he was wearing a thick robe, it looked particularly thin on the thin road of Gufeng.
"I think the King of Chu has never thought that there are conditions for longevity people to resurrect the dead."
Chu Cangyue had already made a desperate move to come here. He forced his voice and said: "What are the conditions? Just tell me."
Pei Nanshan lowered his eyelashes, and the belly of his eyes was blue-grey. Under the sun, his slightly pale and transparent skin had green blood vessels looming. He said: "The incident between the Confucian scholar and Mrs. Zheng of Wei State must have been known to many people.
, that Confucian scholar once gained the trust of the Marquis of Wei and always accompanied the emperor, but unexpectedly he fell in love with Mrs. Zheng of Wei for several years and had an affair for several years. When the Marquis of Wei learned about this, he killed her in anger.
Mrs. Zheng."
He told the story in an orderly manner and his tone was very calm.
This matter was considered a sensational scandal in the royal family in the Wei State at the time. Both the Qi State and Qi State also received some news. However, this matter was a private scandal in the palace and could not be involved in any national affairs. Therefore,
Many people have just heard about it, and no one has any intention to study it in depth.
"After Mrs. Zheng died, it was this Confucian scholar who finally showed his great power and saved her with his own flesh and blood. At that time, the Marquis of Wei was greatly surprised. He thought that this Confucian scholar had magical powers, so he was afraid of her.
, so Fang let Mrs. Zheng go."
Mountain Chief Peinan finally said: "This Confucian scholar was able to save Mrs. Zheng, but because of this, she must be the person that Shou Ren loved most in his life, and his death did not exceed twelve hours."
Mountain Chief Peinan raised his eyes to look at Chu Cangyue, his eyes slowly changed from dead calm to harsh and sharp. He opened his thin lips lightly, but said every word with heart-wrenching words: "I don't know... the person whom King Chu wants to save, is related to a certain person."
Does it matter? Did Fang die soon?"
Chu Cangyue seemed to be struck by his words, and her previously confident expression gradually collapsed. His red lips, which were pursed into a line, turned pale, and his expression was as gloomy as if soaked in water. His eyes were gradually filled with chaotic emotions: "I don't believe it!
"
He turned around, raised his hand, and saw six strong young soldiers carrying a heavy and huge coffin with heavy steps.
The coffin is made of catalpa wood, and is painted black inside and outside. The coffin surface is painted with fairy spirit, clouds, fairy deer, and two dragons crossing the wall, etc., forming an auspicious scene of ascending to immortality. The coffin surface is also covered with a painted silk painting.
The quality is exquisite, the colors are bright and the lines are smooth, making it a masterpiece of art.
Except for certain members of the royal family, ordinary people would not dare to use such a gorgeous wooden coffin.
Seeing that the King of Chu brought this sealed wooden coffin to this place not far away, we knew that it was particularly important. Many people speculated that this person...could he be the most important person Chu Cangyue wanted to resurrect?
The soldier placed the heavy wooden coffin on the ground with a bang, then lowered his hands and stepped back, while Chu Cangyue walked towards the wooden coffin. He looked at the wooden coffin, with a hint of deep pain inadvertently revealed on his cold and charming face.
The trembling palms gently touched the silk paintings on the coffin, and the thin lips that were pressed tightly and seemed to be bleeding were repeating the same sentence like a demonic barrier: "I owe you, even if I change my fate, I will pay it back..."
…”
Chief Peinan looked at the wooden coffin and was stunned for a while. Jier's eyes showed a touch of ridicule and said: "King Chu, do you think that the things that go against heaven in this world are so simple?"
The "mockery" in his eyes actually includes himself - and having such an incredible ability is not a blessing.
Chu Cangyue stood there stiffly, like a solitary stone on a cliff bathed in the rays of light, as if it had been dipped in a layer of red. Facing the steep wind and cold spring weather, every edge and corner was sharpened.
He stopped like a roaring wind and became silent in the empty desert. His voice was hoarse and low: "I don't care whether what you said is true or false. If you voluntarily save this person, everyone here, including your tribe, will be alone."
It won’t even move.”
Chief Peinan took a step back, and the wind blew his clothes and black hair. Standing behind him were his clansmen and those who would never leave him and die together.
"I can't respond to that."
These "five words" were said so loudly that the people behind him who had been hesitating and restless seemed to have found their backbone. Even though their faces were still pale and their teeth were still chattering with fear, they held their hands and straightened up unconsciously.
They opened their chests to cheer for them, their eyes had perseverance and determination, and there was unprecedented fire in their eyes.
At present, the two sides have formed a tense situation.
"The King of Chu thinks that after this incident, everyone in the world knows about the existence of Wushou people, and we still have room to survive?" Chief Peinan looked at the tribesmen behind him who were following his lead: "Our tribe was born to be alone.
Extraordinary abilities come from the fact that any one person has special muscles and bones, cannot be accustomed to any martial arts to defend himself, and has no strength to tie a chicken. He is just like a child with a treasure chest waiting to be discovered by thieves and robbed. I think back then, I was the recipient of the Yayoi clan.
Because of our coveting, some vicious people took action, and now our bloodlines are mixed up, and none of our people are intact, turning us into such a pitiful and pitiful appearance."
The King of Chu didn't know what happened in Caocheng a long time ago, and the same goes for other people. They looked at the sick people, and their strange looks and dim gray eyes all showed that they were
The physical condition is different from that of ordinary people.
"If we can't fight to the death, then let's... destroy it together. I'm tired of hiding for these years." Mount Pei Nan smiled in relief: "They... must be tired too."
"No matter what decision you make, Yan Qi will follow you!" Mo Jing had already picked up the dropped Mo sword. He stood aside coldly, looking at the head of Mount Peinan with a burning gaze.
Chief Peinan sighed helplessly.
"I remembered, Shou people, they are actually Shou people!" On the other side, Situ suddenly exclaimed in shock.
Su Cuo and others came to their senses and asked quickly: "Have you ever heard of this longevity man?"
Situ raised his eyebrows and nodded, recalling: "I once heard some tourists singing, Yayoi... some kind of longevity person. It seems that he can change life and death against the will of heaven. He is a strange race and a strange person."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary Caocheng could harbor such a bunch of strange people. Before they discovered the secret of Caocheng, they never dreamed that such a situation would happen.
After Chief Peinan said that, all the longevity people mustered up their courage and rushed in front of him as if they were a different person, forming a wall of people. They were completely different from the previous ones who were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.
It's completely different without even daring to say a word.
From them, one can see a kind of despair and desperation that finally broke out.
The knights also set up their sword formations and drew their swords in the direction of Chu Cangyue and his army.
"Today, we can't survive, and you can't even think of escaping unscathed!"
Ding——System: Main mission (1) Save Lord Mengchang. The situation between the Shou people in Caocheng and King Ling of Chu has become dire. Caocheng is about to face an immeasurable disaster. But at this time, the whereabouts of Lord Mengchang and his troops are unknown.
, suspected of being ambushed, please rescue him as soon as possible.
Note: This main task cannot be refused. If you choose to give up, you will receive corresponding punishment at the moment of Mengchang Jun's death.
Chen Baiqi, who was above, felt a little uneasy when he saw the wooden coffin that Chu Cangyue carried. This time, he suddenly heard the system issued a task, and it was as if he suddenly woke up from a dream and thought of himself.
Current status and situation.
Her eyes were fixed, and she felt strange in her heart, shouldn't Meng Changjun be lying in the camp to recuperate from his injuries before he recovered?
But the system said that he was ambushed. Could it be that the camp was attacked by someone, or that he was not in the camp at all.
So where is he now?
Could it be that he encountered some serious danger again?
Chen Baiqi is currently unable to interfere with the situation below, and there is no way to solve any problems. In addition, Meng Changjun may be in danger after the system mission is released. All these situations are coming at once, and she is almost overwhelmed. After thinking about it, she realizes that the most important thing she is facing now is
The important thing is to find an opportunity to leave the confinement of Hou Qing and others.
"Sir, aren't you going to do something? If the King of Chu really wants to take him away, everything you have done will be in vain." Chen Baiqi said.
She believed that the Queen must have some intentions towards the pure-blood Shou. Seeing such a living Shou appearing in front of her eyes, if she was completely unwilling to plunder it, then she would not be a mortal, but a saint.
No matter how she looked at him, she never felt that this empress had the potential to become a saint.
After hearing her words, Hou Qing still looked lazy and calm, and said with a meaningful smile: "If the longevity man is not willing, no one can go. You might as well see, in the end, it is the King of Chu who failed in his work, or the only pure blood.
The longevity man is humiliated and bound."
"What...what do you mean?" Chen Bai asked suspiciously.
Hou Qing said: "You don't think that I will always be waiting in the dark just to watch this good show..." Maybe it's because the next thing will never deviate from his planned plot.
But he was in a good mood and told Chen Baiqi something: "Look at him -" He pointed at the King of Chu, and then turned to the head of Peinan Mountain: "And him... A discerning person can tell who wins and loses at a glance, but this
Even if people in this world calculate everything in the world, they don’t know that humans are not as good as God. There will always be some things that are out of their control, such as... someone is here." Another example is these longevity people who have no power to tie a chicken.
The curse before death.
Chen Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "Could you be referring to...the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind?"
Hou Qing was stunned and looked at her with interest: "I wonder what the explanation is for the saying "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind?"
Chen Baiqi blinked and then remembered that this idiom has not been as widely circulated as in later generations. Maybe... it may not have been published yet.
She said: "The mantis wants to eat the cicada, but it doesn't know that the oriole is behind it, so it raises its neck to peck at it and eat it."
Hou Qing stroked his lips and pondered. After understanding the meaning, he clasped his hands and praised: "It's a wonderful thing to say."
By now, Chen Baiqi has basically figured out the truth of the whole matter.
I think King Ling of Chu knew somewhere that there was a longevity person in the world, and the longevity person was in Qi. Qi was far away from Chu and out of reach. At this time, Cai Yan and Qi Xiang were interested in having good relations with Chu.
Lin Lin could do things for him, so Chu cooperated with Cai Yan privately.
Cai Yan took advantage of the riots in Caocheng to sneak into the alleys of Beiwai. Although he could directly capture Shou Ren, he never took action. It seems that his purpose was to use these Shou Ren to lure out the only pure-blooded Shou Ren.
There was also a private agreement between Hou Qing and Cai Yan. Although I don't know what the agreement was, the two countries obviously communicated with him, so he also successfully sneaked in, and he may have played a role in this.
The role is very important.
The most likely person is the oriole.
She thought, since he knew so much about the Shou man, and there had always been a rift between him and the King of Chu, could it be that he had revealed the news about the Shou man to the King of Chu through some secret means through someone else's mouth?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. Otherwise, how could he be so aware of the development trend of every step of the situation and find the observation deck in advance.
Moreover, he did not do this type of method only once or twice.
Now, when everything seemed to be in complete chaos, he took the opportunity to use means to obtain the longevity man, and also eradicated the Zhao State's great enemy, the King of Chu, so that he could get away with it once and for all.
