Kowloon wins

Chapter 547 Aftershocks ([-])

The Battle of Baijing Village was brutal and bloody. The 980-odd allied forces of the three parties that invaded were almost wiped out, and the palace guards also suffered more than [-] casualties. This was obviously a great victory, but the fly in the ointment was that Zheng Mingrui, Because the monk and the three leaders of Lu Dingsheng escaped from the sky, the first two of them forcibly broke out of the encirclement by relying on their extraordinary martial arts. Before launching the general attack, he had torn his clothes and knotted his rope, and escaped from the steep back cliff.

The results of the battle were undoubtedly brilliant, but Hong Qing was not very satisfied, not because of the escape of Zheng Mingrui and others—after this battle, although the dark forces under the hands of Fourth Master and Eighth Master would not be completely destroyed, they could still be defeated. The main elites have been basically lost, and if they want to cultivate them again, it will not be possible overnight. At least within ten years, it is absolutely impossible for the two to restore their old appearance. For Qing, it was enough. In fact, there was only one thing that Hong Qing really regretted, and that was not being able to take the opportunity to get rid of Nian Gengyao, the confidant of Fourth Master. Speaking, this battle has basically achieved the intended goal, although there are some regrets, but the flaws are not concealed.

Although the war is over, it does not mean that the matter is over, on the contrary, troubles are likely to follow, the reason is very simple, the fourth master and the eighth master are not good birds who swallow their anger, so how can they just eat it for nothing? Such a big loss, if you don't bother to cause some trouble, that would be a strange thing. This point, Hong Qing knew it very well, and she didn't dare to be careless. Not only that, but also issued a memorial in advance. At the same time, he did not forget to write a letter to the third master, describing the incident selectively. The "sharp knife" was all brought up in a single stroke. As for the war itself, there was nothing to hide. Of course, Hong Qing didn't expect the third master to have any ability to turn the tide. The reason why he rushed to write the letter was also It's just for the third master to make preparations in advance, not for anything else, just because Hong Qing knows very well that her party may not be able to rush to the capital before Zheng Mingrui and others.

"What? What did you say? So many people just disappeared? How is this possible!"

Sure enough, as Hong Qing expected, while he was still rushing on the road, Zheng Mingrui had already rushed back to the capital, not caring that it was getting late, he rushed to the Eighth Master's mansion and reported the news of the defeat, but there was no When he finished speaking, Ba Ye jumped up angrily, grabbed Zheng Mingrui's chest, and yelled loudly in a rage.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, my lord, my subordinates are not lying, they are indeed defeated. If this subordinate hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I am afraid that they would not have escaped this catastrophe. If it was not because of this subordinate's failure to fight, it was really that fellow who was extremely treacherous and used A large number of firearms, hidden ambushes, and the subordinates waited unprepared, so..."

Seeing Ba Ye's fury, Zheng Mingrui's already flustered heart became even more flustered, his body trembled violently, but he didn't dare to hide anything, he hurriedly babbled about last night's battle in detail Reported it in detail.

"Trash, trash, what use does this king want you to do!"

Ba Ye usually shows people with a gentle face, but now he is angry and swearing endlessly, his appearance is really comparable to that of a shrew, it is not surprising, the main force of this attack But they are all his Eighth Master's people, and they are all elites. In order to win over such a team, Eighth Master's investment is really unknown. It's all over in just one battle. How can this be called Eighth Master? Distressed.

"My lord calm down, my lord calm down, my subordinates deserve to die, my subordinates deserve to die."

Facing Eighth Master's anger, Zheng Mingrui could only kowtow to beg for forgiveness, not because he didn't want to defend himself, but because he really had no face to defend himself. If he succeeded, his entire army would be wiped out. As the leader, Zheng Mingrui would have no face to defend himself.

"Forget it, let's go to rest first, the king will make arrangements for himself, let's go."

After all, Ba Ye is not an ordinary person. Even when he was angry, he just vented and then calmed down. He didn't bother to ask about the details of the battle. Instead, he waved his hand tiredly and ordered said a word.

"twitter!"

Zheng Mingrui was already prepared to be severely punished by the Eighth Master, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Master would let him go so easily. He felt relieved, so he kowtowed in a hurry, and that's it. He exited the study room, but he didn't notice that there was a flash of murderous intent in the eyes of Ba Ye watching his back.

"Sir, you may need to..."

Ba Ye's benevolence and calmness are just illusions. In fact, at such a juncture that may endanger his own life, how could Ba Ye be so lenient? No, Zheng Mingrui just left, The murderous intent in Ba Ye's eyes suddenly burst out, but he didn't rush to make a decision, but looked at Lu Chunyan who was sitting on the side with a solemn expression, and carefully asked half of the words.

"No need."

Although Ba Ye's question was extremely vague, Lu Chunyan knew what Ba Ye wanted to ask immediately after listening to it. It's nothing more than a matter of murder and silence. It's just that Lu Chunyan obviously has a different opinion about it. the opinion of.

"Ok?"

In fact, Ba Ye had already made a decision in his heart. The previous question was just a kind of respect for Lu Chunyan, but he didn't expect that Lu Chunyan would have a different opinion, so he couldn't help being stunned. But it is full of inquiry.

"My lord, it's just useless. If that kid insists on making a big fuss, no matter how hard he tries to cover it up, it won't help. So why bother? Besides, in Lu's opinion, that guy definitely won't do it." So, what is the reason, hey, it's nothing more than being concerned about the face of the Tian family, if you really want to make a fuss to the world, it may not be possible to do anything to the prince and the fourth master, but it will make your majesty feel disgusted , Therefore, if Lu’s predictions are not bad, there will be no survivors in this battle!”

Lu Chunyan stroked his long beard in front of his chest indifferently, and unhurriedly pointed out the crux of the matter, but he didn't finish what he said—there are more than three, four, or eight people under the old man's knees Brother, but there are more than [-] sons. If things get out of hand, it may not be a big deal for the old man to depose all of them in a fit of anger. Then choose Xianliang as the successor.

"This is embryo killing! Well, in my opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Zheng Mingrui escaped quickly, so he didn't know the final situation of the battlefield. When he reported earlier, he never mentioned whether there were any prisoners in this battle. Because of this, Ba Ye was worried that Hongqing would use the captives to make a big fuss But at this moment, after hearing Lu Chunyan's analysis like this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but be terrified by Hong Qing's cruelty.

"Getting cheap, but wanting to be good, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world, there are three strategies, and I will definitely teach that guy to live in peace!"

This plan to attack and kill Hong Qing was promoted by Lu Chunyan with all his strength, but in the end, the whole army was wiped out. Even if Ba Ye didn't blame him, Lu Chunyan couldn't help himself, and he refused to let Hong Qing After calculating for no reason, he clenched his teeth and let out a harsh sentence.

"Oh? Please enlighten me, sir!"

Ba Ye is not a master who is willing to suffer. Hearing that Lu Chunyan has a way to deal with Hongqing, he naturally regained his energy. He hurriedly bowed to Lu Chunyan, and asked a question with great interest.

"My lord, the reason why that guy didn't get to the bottom of this battle was not because he was truly benevolent, but because he wanted to protect himself. According to Lu, he must have pushed all the crimes on the White Lotus Sect. One is not in danger, but in this way, an obvious flaw has been exposed—where did the batch of firearms come from? This is where we can make a fuss."

Lu Chunyan was not in a hurry to say why the three strategies were broken, but first analyzed the situation for Baye, and clearly pointed out what could be used.

"Mr. means..."

Hearing Lu Chunyan's words, Ba Ye's eyes lit up immediately, and he had vaguely thought of some key points, but he didn't dare to be too sure, so he tentatively asked half a word.

"Hey, private transfer of ordnance is a capital offense. Even if he is in charge, he can't do things indiscriminately. Just this one, you can participate in one of them. Even if he can get away with it by chance, the power to manufacture ordnance will definitely not be guaranteed. This is one of them; secondly, after the First World War, the prestige of firearms should become even stronger. If the Fourteenth Lord is involved in the promotion of our bank again, the Holy One will not be able to stop him. If so, the third master's side The dominance situation will be shaken. As for the third, the prince might as well make a deal with the fourth master to take down the central bank and let Hongli return to the Ministry of Industry to be in charge of ordnance manufacturing. There is no reason to be inaccurate, with these three strategies, it will definitely make that guy suffer for himself!"

Lu Chunyan didn't play tricks any more, but with a confident smile, he explained the foundation of the three strategies in detail.

"Well, with these three strategies, I don't have to worry about major failures, but the fourth one..."

Ba Ye frowned and thought for a while, in his heart he had confirmed the feasibility of the third strategy, but he didn't dare to make an assertion as to whether Si Ye would fully cooperate. The master suggested it, but in the end, the fourth master also suffered heavy losses. This time, if he had to discuss with the fourth master again, the confidence of the eighth master would inevitably be a little lacking.

"My lord, just don't worry, fourth master is a shrewd person, he will know how to make a choice."

Lu Chunyan knew what Eighth Master was worried about, but he didn't care at all, and gave the answer with certainty.

"Okay, that's it!"

Lu Chunyan had already made his words so clear, Eighth Master no longer had any doubts, gritted his teeth, and made the final decision...
