Chapter 74 Victory Pass(1/2)
After walking out of the Luyang territory, the more you go north, the more you can feel a kind of solemnity in the atmosphere, and the more you understand why Emperor Xu wanted to ban Xiaoyuan Mountain and also needed a descendant of Xiaoyuan Mountain.
Because the people of Xu need confidence.
All the towns where the five people passed were on high alert, with troops leaving the camp and swords being sheathed. The government began to hoard supplies and carried out a certain degree of control. Every household in the countryside was closed and the government was strictly preventing the flow of people, while farmers hid at home to avoid being arrested.
Fortunately, Gu Yi and the other two came from Luyang Courtyard, and all the way was unobstructed. The only thing was that they were bored. On the eve of the war, entertainment activities were even more unavailable.
I was rushing for more than three days, and two mountains appeared in front of me. There was a pass in the middle of the mountain. A pass was built at the pass, and thousands of soldiers were stationed here.
In the scorching sun, they sweated wildly and saw five tall horses, two of which were fresh and refined young girls, each of whom was so angry that their eyes were shining.
"He Jiang, the governor of Desheng Pass, has met the five masters of Luyang Courtyard! Lord Shu is here too!"
The Seven Princess hides his identity, and they are all headed by Shu Le on the surface.
It seemed that this was not the first time she was discharged from the hospital. The guards here knew her, and the soldiers who lined up to train in the pass were also looking at her.
Sure enough, the poster is still very famous.
"Thank you for your hard work, General He." The alternate poster's elegance and nobility are also very generous.
"As a general, I have a responsibility to defend the territory, and it is not hard to say. Lord Shu, please come from all of you. The border military palace is a bit simpler."
As they walked inside, the soldiers gradually couldn't help but start to get restless, rushing forward and behind to see the style of Luyang Courtyard.
The customs here will be tougher, for example, some don’t wear tops, revealing their dark tendons. Everyone regards those from Luyangyuan as big names, and only one or two people will say a little worriedly.
"Mr. Shu is here, is the war about to begin?"
"A coward, you have to fight early and late, and when will our country be afraid of leaving the country?"
"Those came from Luyang Courtyard. They are all very talented in cultivating immortals, right?"
"Luyangyuan is so enviable..."
...
The light of admiration emitted by hundreds of people in the place where hundreds of people gathered made the young Chen Mingguang and Wu Gang feel excited.
Sure enough, places like the border are easy to inspire men's passion.
Gu Yi prefers the person in the corner, the thin child with his hat in his arms, who looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, and is like others, grinning and waving to them.
The guardian in the mansion.
After the Seventh Princess gave her a confirmation look, Shu Le stepped forward and asked: "General He, what is the current border situation?"
"Sir Shu, please come here."
Gu Yi mixed in and walked to the left of the house together, where there was a map.
The Guqing River on the map is slanted upward, heading northeast, and further north of Desheng Pass is a flat land with mountains around it, and the Chenzhou Basin is here.
Therefore, Desheng Pass is the southern exit of the basin, and there are also passes to be exported.
"There are mountains around the Chenzhou Basin. The first thing I am concerned about is Fenggu Pass, which is under the control of Liguo. There are not many Li troops there, only three thousand, but... there are immortal cultivators in the pass!"
"Gu Qinghe is now under the control of our country of Xu. This is the territory of Xu. However, from a combat perspective, in order to defend the territory, the victory pass needs to divide the troops, and always be careful of the Li army's sneak attack, occupying more land but it is very passive. Fenggu Pass only needs to stay in the gate and wait for the time being to move, which is more favorable than us in form."
Gu Yi nodded, so this place has only changed hands a few times, and the advantage is actually a disadvantage in the next battle.
He Jiang seemed to be in good spirits: "But there are five adults from Luyang Courtyard here, so the last general and the soldiers are much more confident."
"Who is the cultivator in Fenggu Pass from Dayu Palace?" Shu Le seemed to have no intention of explaining the purpose of their trip.
"I am a newcomer named Gu Yue. He seems to have a good status in Dayu Palace. He still has people who return to Pu realm on weekdays."
The Seventh Princess and Shu Le looked at each other, obviously not very familiar with each other.
This matter will not be investigated for the time being. The most important thing about this trip is Shu Yu.
"General He, a murder case occurred in Gu Qinghe a few days ago. Please tell us a little bit about the situation at that time."
"yes!"
...
"Since rebelling against the palace, Heyu has been lingering in Guqing River for many years. He does not go north or south, but is in Guqing River. Because he is a master of Hedao Realm, there have been people in the court who have always suggested recruiting Heyu. Although it is a bit difficult, it has not made any progress in the past few years."
"The Dayu Palace actually sent people to assassinate, but they were almost exposed. The Dayu Palace Master would not come here in person. Gradually, Heyu lived here."
"As for his death, it was a very sudden incident. On the evening of that day, he fell asleep in the Lianyue Pavilion in Guqing River as usual. A sudden sound came from midnight. According to people nearby, it was a blowout, and the house in the Lianyue Pavilion was damaged. Then he found He Yu and the woman who was sleeping with him in the ruins."
"The woman seemed to be killed by a heavy object, but He Yu's death was very strange."
This is strange, everyone knows.
Shu Le couldn't help but look at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi also frowned, "Apart from that, is there anything special?"
"Dare you ask about the name of the master?"
"My surname is Gu, Gu Yi."
He Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "I will meet the immortal talent!"
The side of him heard this sound, and all imitated his movements.
"Get up and answer my question."
"Thank you, Lord Gu." He Jiang asked with his eyes raised: "But what is the special thing Mr. Gu said? "
"What do you say? People in Hedao Realm were killed and nothing was left?"
"The general doesn't know what Lord Gu is referring to, but He Yu's death was indeed quick, and it seemed like he was being attacked by someone."
Things always feel a little mysterious.
There is not even a place to buy it.
The woman who slept with He Yu for a night was also dead.
"Where is He Yu's body?" Shu Le asked.
"It should still be in Guqinghe at the moment."
"Why don't you transport it back to Desheng Pass?"
He Jiang was a little disappointed, "Since Xu Li's relationship was tense, Your Majesty has issued an order not to provoke, but to fight back. After the Heyu incident, our movements were slower, so we don't know the whereabouts of the corpse."
"Nothing nonsense, Your Majesty has always encouraged the military and civilians across the country, how could he issue such an order? I'm afraid you are afraid of leaving people and are afraid of fighting!" The Seventh Princess was a little disbelief.
"I dare not!"
Gu Yi stopped him, "I will know when I go to Gu Qinghe tomorrow to investigate. Why bother General He?"
Shu Le only glared at him, giving him the face of the immortal talent, and then turned around and left the guard mansion.
"Hey, don't leave, where are you going?"
He Jiang also shouted from behind, "Sir Shu stay!"
"Of course I go to Guqinghe!"
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Shule stopped and lowered his voice slightly, "I think General He is lying to us. The Seventh Princess knows His Majesty. She said that His Majesty will not issue that kind of decree."
Gu Yi didn't think so at all. The Seventh Princess is not a very political person.
The emperor of Xu State was indeed trying to avoid the war, and he had no confidence in winning.
Even Shule doesn't understand it very well.
After they all leaned over, Gu Yi said, "General He knew that Fenggu Pass had a new Gu Yue, you all heard this."
The four nodded.
"So you say that the five heroes of Luyang Courtyard have come to Desheng Pass, will they know?"
Chen Mingguang frowned deeply, "I guess I already know this at this moment."
"I want to do it for you..." Gu Yi said: "Before the war, the main general's reincarnation was a taboo. Lord Shu, we just arrived at the Victory Pass. If you rushed out without hesitation, you would tell the people of Li about two things. Either you are in a disagreement with this General He, or you are here to steal He Yu's body."
"No matter which one it is, it is very likely to provoke a war."
"We are not afraid of them! It makes them feel that we are not in harmony, but instead can confuse them." Shu Le said.
The Seventh Princess also nodded.
Gu Yi is really tired and confused. It’s the truth, okay, you have begun to doubt He Jiang.
"You said a few days ago, am I smart, right?"
Shule didn't say anything, and the Seventh Princess seemed to have agreed.
"Then you listen to me. First of all, General He did not lie. Your Majesty must have passed this order. Forget others, you are the alternate poster. He will blame Your Majesty in front of you. What kind of stupid pig would do such a thing?"
"Secondly, we can't rush to Guqing River all at once, we can only check the whereabouts of Heyu's corpse."
The Seventh Princess and Shu Le looked at each other. To be honest, because He Yu's death was too bizarre, they seemed to have no idea. At this moment, Gu Yi still had an idea.
"you say."
