Romance of Gods

Chapter 99 Counting
In order not to expose their identities, the Wei soldiers not only took off their armor, but also didn't even take their weapons.

Even so, with only his skillful equestrian skills and the power of a surprise attack, he was able to run down.

The officialdom was in chaos, and the guards could not protect each other. Ji and Feng looked at each other.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, without hesitation, they dispersed from both wings and rushed into the forest, hiding their traces.

Chen Yan galloped forward with his bare hands, and the ordinary infantry had already avoided him.

But the officers and men of the Yue Family Army have experienced hundreds of battles and are well-trained.

More than [-] people were unafraid and immediately divided into two formations, holding long spears and protecting them in front of the car.

Still three feet away, Chen Yan tightened the reins. The red horse neighed like a dragon and stopped without any warning. The horse's body became a wall.

bass!The movements of the horses shocked the soldiers. Normally, horses would not be able to stop so decisively when running wildly. However, the spears in their hands had been thrust upwards, and the handles were as dense as a forest. The friction caused wind, and they suddenly flew into the air.

Chen Yan was as fast as a ghost, his waist suddenly bent sideways and forward, his arms stirred like a black python, and his slender palm grabbed the handle of a gun.

Pull with great force, grab the white blade with your bare hands!

The soldier whose weapon was taken away fell to the ground with a bang, and a gap was torn open in the array.

Chen Yan was indifferent and silent, swinging the gun wildly from side to side like a rope, bang bang bang, in the blink of an eye, dozens of people were knocked over and fell to the ground.

Chi Ma took the opportunity to leap forward and landed in the open space behind the soldiers with a loud bang, pointing his spear directly at Wanqixi's head!

"Commander Wu!"

Wan Qixi's face was pale and his heart-rending cry was like an out-of-tune harp, sharp and harsh.

He put his foot on the beautiful woman's belly and kicked her until she curled up and fell to the ground, dripping with cold sweat.

Then he started urinating and crawled back into the car.

Stab it!

The gun blade cut across and the car curtain crashed down.

Wan Qixi shrank in the corner shivering, holding a long black box tightly in his arms, and a large area of ​​his white clothes was soaked.

Chen Yan's eyes were shining brightly, "Imperial decree!"
"A good guy..."

The spear pierced the car, causing a slight shock. With a bang, Wan Qixi was knocked unconscious and immediately dismounted.

[Imperial edict: The true dragon spirit is entwined, and evil spirits are warded off! 】

Chen Yan closed the wooden box, pulled Wan Qixi out of the carriage, and jumped onto the saddle.

The enemy's skill in horsemanship is nothing like that of a ragtag group of bandits.

Wu Chezheng was suspicious. When he heard the call for help from behind, he suddenly turned around on his horse.

I saw a big brown-red horse carrying Wan Qixi and was about to run away into the distance.

He was instantly furious and frightened. Wan Qixi was the first rank of the dynasty, and he was an imperial envoy with orders.

If there is even the slightest loss, then the sky is really falling, no matter how hard it is to pull the horse's mane and run after it.

The yellow horse is like lightning, the rotten silver blade is like a curtain, aim at the horse's back and slash vertically!

when!Chen Yan carried a long spear on his shoulder, and the handle of the gun slid back quickly, blocking the long knife.

There are eyes in the back of the head!
Wu Che lost consciousness for a moment, Chen Yan's body twisted, and the spear in his hand fell quickly.

Dangdang!
Wu Che was dazzled by the violent wind and rain, sweating profusely, and could only defend passively.

[Lightning has been added for both the enemy and ourselves]

Chen Yan suddenly withdrew his attack, Wu Che found a breath and was about to pursue him with his sword.

He only felt a thunder and lightning explosion in the air, and the electric sparks smeared on his shoulders. Half of his body was numb, and he suddenly fell off his horse.

[The counterattack is completed, and our own thunder has been consumed]

Wu Che raised his head and looked forward, and saw that the person who came had disappeared into the scarlet night.

……

In the vast mountains, under the black date tree, the demon horse was tied here by Chen Yan because its appearance was too conspicuous.

Figures of people are gathering here. This is the meeting place they have arranged in advance.

After stopping, everyone said nothing and only communicated with their eyes.

"Shut up!"

Chen Yan reined in his horse, and Ji Yuan and others gathered around him with joy in their eyes.

"Tie them up and blindfold them."

Chen Yan threw Wan Qixi to the ground with his backhand. When everyone got off their horses, he took out the imperial edict from the wooden box and read it quickly.

On the dark gold brocade, there are the signatures of the Menxia Provincial Department and the Political Affairs Hall, and also stamped with the emperor's jade seal. There is no doubt that it is authentic.

"...the three generals Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, and Niu Gao were sent to escort the people to Kuizhou Road, Jinghu North Road, and Jinghu South Road respectively, and to agree with the local state government to arrange for the people to return south. The defense of the Huaihe River was temporarily handed over to the deputy commander of the former army. Wang Jun will handle it. Set off immediately, without any mistakes..."

Chen Yan murmured to himself, frowning slightly, secretly pondering the content of the imperial edict, and noticed at least two things.

First, sending Zhang Xian and three people to different roads is obviously suspected of dividing their forces and weakening their strength;
Second, this imperial edict conflicts with the event tasks in this chapter.

If this decree is followed and Wang Jun is allowed to coordinate the defense of the Huaihe River, then the Huaihe River will still be controlled by the Yue Family Army.

The only explanation is that Wanqixi also hides other secrets.

Chen Yan dismounted and showed the imperial decree to everyone one by one. Those who could not read had others pass on the contents.

After reading it, they all looked at each other. There was nothing wrong with this decree at first glance.

It's just that it was a bit unconsidered to let Wang Jun, the deputy commander, take charge of such an important pass.

After all, Wang Jun's talents can only be considered mediocre among the generals of the Yue Family Army.

Chen Yan put the imperial edict back into the box and observed everyone's expressions. His thoughts were as expected.

Even the three of Zhang Xian and Zhang Xian couldn't be on guard against this imperial edict.

Even if they have doubts, reality will force them to withdraw their troops.

Chen Yan had seen that the dozens of carts of food shipped this time were not enough to supply the sergeants, let alone the common people.

This is a combination of soft and hard knives, cutting off food and grass, making them unable to delay at all.

This place is not far from the official road, and the rest of the Beiwei army is also heading south non-stop, leaving him little time.

After carefully searching Wan Qixi's body, only a few hundred taels of silver notes were found. In this case, the secret decree must have been oral.

Chen Yan said calmly: "Wake him up."

Ji Yuan kicked him over, "Hey~" Wan Qixi groaned, his face turned pale, and he woke up from a coma with his stomach curled up.Seeing darkness before his eyes, he realized in shock and pain that he had been kidnapped.

At Chen Yan's signal, everyone immediately started shouting in a fierce tone and yelled in the dialect of their hometown.

Wan Qixi's nerves were tense. He had lived for more than 50 years and had a prosperous career since he passed the imperial examination at a young age.

After decades of pampering, have you ever encountered such a situation?
For a moment, he completely forgot about his ability to scold Fang Qiu in the court.

Suddenly someone said that they wanted to cut off his crotch and feed it to the dogs.

Wan Qixi hurriedly said: "Dear heroes... I have also worked as a clerk in the yamen for several years, and I have saved some belongings.

If you heroes don't mind it, I would like to donate all my money to you. I just ask you to spare your next life..."

"Little official, if a high-ranking official like you were a small official, then there would be no need for officials to be around!"

Chen Yan knelt down, grabbed his throat with his hands, and growled in a rough voice.

Wan Qixi became even more panicked when he heard that these people actually knew him.

"Hero, spare your life! I'm so unscrupulous in my words, please forgive me! Money... I'll give you as much as you want!"

"I want the money! I want your life too!"

Everyone laughed strangely, like a ghost howling.

"Hero, when did I offend you all?"

Chen Yan shouted coldly: "You are a thief who has been making trouble for decades, and I don't know how many loyal people have died at your hands! Today, I, the hundreds of brothers in Heifeng Mountain, will do justice for heaven!"

"A clear lesson from a hero! I am an official and have always been in harmony with my colleagues. I have never framed Zhongliang!"

"Oh?" Chen Yan smiled jokingly, "But the yellow silk found from you, a thief, clearly says that you are going to deceive several generals in the Yue Family Army away from the Huai River and secretly kill them! The brothers in the Yue Family Army All of them are good men, aren’t you trying to frame Zhongliang?”

"Why did you say this! You got it wrong... The hero got it wrong. There is absolutely no such thing mentioned above..."

Wan Qixi shouted, his voice filled with guilt.

Feng Shanshui and others knew very well that Wan Qixi and Yue Fei were not dealing with each other openly or covertly.

Maybe he would give up the Northern Expedition this time, but he put a lot of effort into it.

At this time, it was a pleasure to join forces to tease him.

But when he suddenly heard Chen Yan's question and Wan Qixi's reaction, his smile immediately faded and he became filled with murderous intent.

No wonder Chen Yan took such a big risk to steal the imperial edict, and there were other twists and turns hidden in it!
"Not being honest?"

Chen Yan grabbed his chin and snapped off one of his fingers.

With their fingers connected to their hearts, Wanqi was in terrible pain, but he couldn't cry out, so he could only endure it.

There is no torture like this in the world.

Chen Yan was merciless. He just broke off his thumb and pinched his index finger in his hand.

"I...said...said..."

"If you tell me the truth, I will spare your life."

Wan Qixi could only feel that life and death were coming to an end in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yan let go of his hand, tears streaming down his cheeks. He faltered for a long time and said in a trembling voice, "I... never thought of murdering the soldiers of the Yue Family Army..."

"Ok?"

Hearing the cold snort, Wan Qixi stiffened, not daring to pause any longer, and hurriedly replied: "It is true that someone wants to harm several generals! But it is definitely not me, I am just a messenger. It's Prime Minister Qin... yes, it's Qin Hui!"

"How?"

"Disperse the military commanders, deprive them of their military power, fabricate charges, arrest and imprison..."

"Straight thief!"

The crowd behind Chen Yan was excited, and some people couldn't help but curse.

"The Yue Family Army has fought life and death for the country! Why are you so vicious!"

Wan Qixi argued palely, "It was Qin... Qin Laogou's idea! He wanted to frame Zhongliang, but I tried every means to dissuade him!"

"You made a clean choice."

Chen Yan sneered and thought to himself, although Wan Qixi and Qin Hui were treacherous, the seal on the imperial edict was not theirs.

"Then what do you plan to do with Marshal Yue!"

"This...Marshal Yue is so accomplished that no one dares to touch him..."

Feng Shanshui laughed out loud, "All the people below have been punished. It's strange that the leader can survive."

Everyone wanted to ask more questions, but Chen Yan raised his hand to stop him, "You can check the number of one hundred now. Once you finish counting honestly, I will let you go."

"Yes! Yes!" Wanqixilin amnesty said, "One, two, three...twenty..."

Gradually he heard no movement next to him. He stopped and tentatively shouted: "Hero? A good man?"

"Damn it, you're lazy!"

boom!Chen Yan knocked him down with one punch, and everyone immediately surrounded him aggressively, wanting to kill him.

"stop."

"General! This man is so ruthless that he wants to put our Yue Family Army to death. What's the use of keeping him!"

"What's the use of killing him?"

Everyone was choked and stopped talking.

Chen Yan secretly thought, now Zhang Xian and others are stationed in Huai River, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they have just made great achievements.

The imperial court did not dare to break up with him directly, so he could only use a compromise strategy to lure him back to the south of the Yangtze River and try to eradicate him.

If the imperial envoy passing the imperial edict dies here now, Zhang Xian and the others will be blamed, and they will be able to hand Lin'an a knife.

The most urgent task is to let the generals of Huaishui know the conspiracy behind the imperial edict, so that they can have a chance to turn things around.

They said no, the outside world must not get any information about what happened tonight.

De Wanqixi said that it was easy to let him off the hook here, but it was more difficult when he arrived at the camp.

Chen Yan took out the soul-enchanting talisman and slapped Wan Qixi on the head.

"Capture failed."
