After the immortal disappeared

Of course there is a small problem: there is no mount.

Wherever the heroic spirits passed, the alienated creatures also retreated. The Blackwater City Army could no longer catch the sand monsters and use them as horses like before, so they could only take one step at a time.

They walked like this for more than ten days, until the food and water supplies were almost exhausted, and the team finally reached the end of Hongya Road.

When we got there, the Gale Army stopped escorting us and simply turned around and left, not caring at all about the friendship we had shared for half a month.

Along the way, they are silent partners. From the commander to the soldiers, He Lingchuan didn't hear a word spoken by them.

After taking a shower, He Lingchuan changed his clothes and rushed to the dining room.

The family of three had already sat down, and He Chunhua was telling his second son about his trip to the Panlong Desert. Mrs. Ying listened with a smile and ate with a huge appetite.

He Lingchuan sat down and took a big white-faced steamed bun: "Dad, did you say that I saved everyone?"

Mrs. Ying couldn’t help but laugh: “So shameless!”

She was in a good mood after her family returned safely. She personally brought a large piece of pork belly that was marinated until crispy to He Lingchuan, and asked him to put it into the steamed buns, and stuffed it with two slices of pickled radish that were just right.

He Lingchuan's mouth was full of oil after eating, and he said vaguely: "I am in the desert, and this is what I think about day and night!"

The He family has become accustomed to his hungry ghost eating appearance, He Yue said: "Where is the broken knife? Let me take a look."

He Lingchuan casually drew the knife and laid it on the table: "Be careful of cuts."

He Yue carefully stroked the blade of the blade. His hands were cold and stinging. He couldn't help but said "oh" and put his fingers into his mouth and sucked twice.

He Lingchuan glared: "Clumsy!"

He Yue innocently said: "I didn't touch the blade at all, but I was actually cut."

He Lingchuan stretched out his fingers and rubbed them over and over the blade. He even flicked the blade and made a clanging sound. His fingers were still intact: "You are more delicate than a mother-in-law."

Over the years, He Yue had become immune to his cynicism and took the initiative to change the topic: "Brother, Panlong City is so big, how could you find out that this knife is the lifeblood of the black dragon?"

He Lingchuan was in high spirits. While boasting about his photographic memory and meticulousness, he swung his knife and made the whole hall sparkle with cold light.

Bang, the clay pot four feet away shattered, and clear water filled the ground.

He Lingchuan didn't use any of his real power.

Mrs. Ying's face turned pale: "Stop, this is a place for eating, you shouldn't be playing with weapons!"

This knife is too fierce!

He Lingchuan sheathed his sword and quickly asked his second brother: "By the way, you said the rebels in Woling Pass have been put down?"

"Exactly." He Yue had already reported it to his father and didn't mind telling his brother again, "Actually, Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping were talking nonsense. Before they arrived at Blackwater City, the bandits at Woling Pass were killed by Wu Di and Ke Jihai. It is impossible for a general to lead his troops to defeat the enemy by cutting down trees, building boats, and moving eastward along the river!"

He Lingchuan was stunned: "So 'General Iron Tong' Zhao Ronglue...?"

It was precisely because Sun Fuping falsely reported military information that He Chunhua decided to follow them to Panlong City to find the legendary large square pot that could defeat the enemy, so as to help the army suppress the bandits and defend Kyoto.

In the end, He Yue told him that the rebels couldn't get out of Woling Pass at all?

Then why did Xunzhou Mu and Sun Fuping seek to obtain the Dafang Pot?

"General Tietong was indeed killed in battle. When Wu and Ke arrived with 100,000 elite troops, the bandits were fighting among themselves and their strength was reduced. Even so, it was still a fierce battle before and after. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but we only narrowly won. He Yue smiled bitterly, "Sun Fuping only told half of the truth. The mixture of truth and falsehood makes it difficult for people to distinguish, and even his father was confused."

"No wonder!" He Lingchuan hissed: "No wonder Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu urged us to leave as soon as they arrived in Heishui City. It turned out that they were worried that the east road would suddenly open up and the real news would come."

"The situation is very unfavorable to Da Sima. If they want to take advantage of us, they have to make a time lag. Otherwise, once the news comes from the capital, they will turn from guests to wanted criminals."

"What's going on with Da Sima?" He Lingchuan's intuition told him that this was the highlight.

"All the best soldiers and generals were sent to the south. The capital city was empty. The Great Sima Donghaoming thought there was an opportunity and sent people into the palace to assassinate him with the intention of rebelling!" He Yue continued, "He has probably been planning for a long time and hid 1,600 Elite soldiers were stationed in several villages on the outskirts of the city, some of which were not under the name of Donglai Mansion and did not attract attention. Early in the morning when the incident occurred, the Nancheng Guards opened the door directly to let the Donglai Mansion troops enter the city. The Guards also responded internally and directly led the Grand Sima. Two of his men entered the palace to assassinate the king!"

Just do it this hard? Da Sima is also a ruthless person. He Lingchuan wanted to give a thumbs up, but this action was inappropriate.

He Chunhua nodded: "The Great Sima is in a high position and the king is sick. If he succeeds in killing the Lord, it may be said that the Lord died of illness. Several internal historians forged a legacy and ordered the Great Sima to assist the new Lord and command hundreds of officials. Here we go. At that time, he took the new master to order the princes, and the matter was settled, and the generals may not dare to make any changes. "

The fight between heroes is nothing more than luck and momentum. When the general trend is over, nothing can be done.

He Lingchuan didn't understand and asked: "Why not poison it? A white knife goes in and a red knife comes out. It doesn't look like death from an illness."

"The king has a medicine man with him who is very skilled. Poisoning is not an option."

"The king is his son-in-law, so won't the country still belong to his grandson in the future? Why is Da Sima so anxious that he must usurp power himself?"

He Chunhua was silent for a while and then said: "I heard that the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is not good. The reason must be very complicated. It seems that there has been a conflict recently: the northern demon country has repeatedly invaded our territory, and the king demanded a resolute counterattack, but the great Sima believed that the country's strength When we are weak and war is raging, it is not advisable to engage in more wars. It is better to negotiate for peace. According to the information I got, the king and Grand Sima publicly argued about this at least four times in the king's court. Afterwards, the king was so angry that he didn't even eat. Then he called Queen Dong and scolded her severely, forcing her to kneel in the imperial garden for half the night. "

If your father-in-law doesn't win, then he will scold his wife. Our king is really a man on the bed. He Lingchuan scratched his head: "This is not a big deal, it is worthy of Da Sima's rebellion."

He Yue shook his head: "Da Sima is dissatisfied with the current situation in the country. He thinks that the king's governance is ineffective and full of shortcomings, so he wants to replace him."

"I understand, I just don't want to wait any longer." He Lingchuan sighed deeply, "If you want to rebel, why can't you? By the way, has he succeeded?"

"No. The king happened to be out that day and stayed at Puwen Gong's house overnight. The secret was kept secret. Da Sima's insiders in the palace didn't know about it, so he led people in to assassinate him as planned, but the result was in vain. After hearing the news, the king escaped overnight. Come out... ahem, withdraw from the capital, retreat to Xiaoxi Mountain, and lead the troops back to the capital, King Qin."

"Da Sima's rebellion came to light. Wei Ao, the general manager of Xuanzhou, was the quickest to return aid. He repelled Da Sima's attack twice at Xiaoxi Mountain and persisted until Ke Jihai led the army. Seeing that there was no hope of success, Da Sima led his army back west and retreated to Wu state."
