Astral Apostle

On the lake outside the pass, corpses floated one after another, and scattered flags covered the water.

In the battle just now, both sides lost some soldiers, and the field was in a mess.

Lu Longchuan had blood on his stomach, took off his helmet, shook his sweat-soaked hair, and let out a sigh of relief, exhausted.

Up until now, he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat, and he didn't know when he would see the opportunity to turn to victory.

Without getting rid of Chen Feng, the chances of winning this battle are slim, Yufeng Zhenren can only push back the opponent, but cannot kill the enemy one-on-one.

Lu Longchuan couldn't help but think of the strategy mentioned in the "secret letter from the imperial court", using the lives of all the leaders to set up an ambush and let Chen Feng fall to his death...

"This is a thief's treachery, how can you be in the middle of it?"

He quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought that had just risen.

With the support of his personal soldiers, Lu Longchuan went down the city wall all the way, and looked back at the leaders who were instructing their subordinates to clean the battlefield, frowning.

How could he not be aware of the subtle changes in the attitudes of the leaders, but the rift had already formed and it was difficult to remedy it. Even if he interrogated the imperial messenger, the other party was full of ignorance, but he could not dispel the doubts of some people.

His subordinates were dissatisfied, and they wanted to rely on the art of war to defeat Longwangzhai in the marching battle. Now there is little hope.

Lu Longchuan's eyes were fixed, and he decided to visit Master Yufeng later to discuss a solution.

However, just as he walked to the central army, a messenger suddenly ran over:

"Report! The big thing is bad, someone wants to assassinate the real person, and the real person specially called me to find the commander and talk about it in the past!"

"what?!"

Lu Longchuan was shocked, and hurriedly strode towards the residence of the real person Yufeng, and quickly arrived there.

At this time, the place has been guarded by the disciples of the Tianji faction. Even if he saw his commander come over, he never gave way. Everyone's faces were filled with righteous indignation.

"Commander Lu! My master has helped you many times, but you are poisoning your food. What's the reason!"

A disciple spoke angrily.

Lu Longchuan said anxiously: "I don't know about this matter, and I will definitely investigate it to the end. How is the real person now?"

"Fortunately, Shizun's profound art reaches the sky and can suppress the toxins. There is no serious problem with his body. Now he is meditating for luck."

"It's fine if you're a real person." Lu Longchuan heaved a sigh of relief.

If the red man in front of the sage dies of poisoning here, then he will stop suppressing the bandits, and just start his old job again, anyway, there is no good fruit to eat when he goes back.

"Treading the Stars"

"The real person invited me to come and talk, and I would like to inform you."

Lu Longchuan said quickly.

The disciples of the Heavenly Secret Sect glared at him fiercely, but they still entered the tent and passed on a message, and they came out after a while and motioned him to enter.

Lu Longchuan hurriedly walked into the tent, and saw the real Yufeng sitting on the couch at a glance, his brows furrowed, his body was steaming with white steam, and the food was scattered all over the floor.

"Commander Lu, you are here."

Zhou Jing turned his palms to collect the work, opened his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Really, what is going on here?" Lu Longchuan hurriedly asked.

Zhou Jing exhaled and said slowly:

"Not long ago, your subordinates sent meals as usual, and the poor man had no doubt that he was there. After a few mouthfuls, he realized that something was wrong. The food was actually poisoned. This poison is colorless, tasteless, difficult to detect, and extremely strong. In addition, I am afraid that the seven orifices will bleed and die in a short time, but Pindao has suppressed the poison with all his mana, and there is no danger of his life."

"It's good if nothing happens to the real person." Lu Longchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "This must be the work of the spies in the army, the real person can rest assured, I will investigate this matter strictly, find out the inner ghost, and make a clear trial!"

Zhou Jing nodded, then shook his head again, saying:

"This matter was handed over to Commander Lu, but Pindao asked you to come and talk, and there are other important things to tell... This poison is fierce, although Pindao is proficient in alchemy, he has not studied the way of using poison, only If it can be removed slowly, I am afraid that during this period of time, I will no longer be able to use magic power to fight the enemy, and if Chen Feng comes again, the poor Taoist will be powerless."

He intends to pretend to be poisoned and withdraw from the war.

The excuse that he can make alchemy, but is not good at using poison, whether it is true or false, is a great advantage to the court.

And even if he has the supernatural powers to call the wind and call the rain, he will be controlled by poison like ordinary people, which makes the emperor and courtiers more at ease. I hope that the secret enemy really thinks this trick works, and will continue to use poison to deal with himself in the future.

As for how long you can't do it... The final interpretation right belongs to you.

"Ah? This..."

Lu Longchuan was shocked, and immediately panicked.

There is no real Yufeng to contain Chen Feng, not to mention how powerful the opponent's courage to destroy the city and pull out the village, the morale of his own army will be irresistibly shaken.

These days, Chen Feng's fighting with real people has shocked the world every time. He has already terrified the soldiers, and he has no courage to fight with them.

For a time, Lu Longchuan hated the poisoned traitor so much that he wanted to hack him to death.

At this time, Zhou Jing closed his eyes again and said:

"Pindao has done his best, and Commander Lu, let's go out, let Pindao adjust his breath, and concentrate on expelling toxins."

Seeing this, Lu Longchuan had to retire.

After leaving the tent, he couldn't hold back his anger, and immediately ordered to go down and control all the soldiers who were cooking in the back kitchen, and then arrested the people who delivered the meals, and tried them all.

This matter is not difficult to investigate. Soon, those who have handled the meals of real people were screened out. After careful interrogation a few times, someone finally couldn't stand the punishment and confessed.

It turned out that long before the expedition, someone privately used money to bribe the logisticians and gave them poison to assassinate the real person.

You can't talk about loyalty, and you can't earn money in your life. Naturally, you don't want to refuse, so you do things for others.

As for the people behind the scenes, they haven't stayed long enough to reveal their origins to the minions, and their identities are unknown.

But it was obviously impossible for Longwangzhai to be able to do something at that time. Lu Longchuan thought with his ass, and he knew that most of it was done by people in the court.

In order to avoid turmoil in the military, Lu Longchuan wanted to suppress the matter, saying that it was the murder of Longwangzhai by poison.

However, the disciples of the Tianji faction did not belong to his soldiers, and they spread the truth everywhere and fought against their masters.

It didn't take long for the leaders to know the news that someone in the DPRK had bribed their soldiers to murder a real person. They were shocked at first, and then they were furious.

——I was waiting to fight hard at the front, but the gentlemen in the back wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and they didn’t care whether it would affect the war! This kind of selfish person who ignores the overall situation is really a traitor of the country, and his face is extremely disgusting!

They can be angry, but as gangsters who have been recruited, they have nothing to do with those old men who take the opportunity to fight for power and profit, and all the leaders have a sense of powerlessness.

When they learned that Yufeng Zhenren wanted to suppress the poison, he couldn't do it for a while, all the leaders were panicked, and the morale of the three soldiers was shaken.

In fact, even if Lu Longchuan wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it at all.

Because on the second day, Longwangzhai attacked again, and Chen Feng invited him to fight, but Zhenren Yufeng changed his previous behavior and chose to avoid it.

Seeing that no one came out, Chen Feng was not soft-hearted, and directly led the troops to attack.

On this day, the soldiers and horses of Tianwangzhai finally felt the terror of Chen Feng.

Even if there are fortifications to protect it, it is broken open by the opponent's big gun, and it is as fragile as a rotten wood and clay sculpture.

Seeing the opponent rushing back and forth in the Ten Thousand Army Cong, no one can stop it, and the disintegrated military spirit of Tianwangzhai collapsed directly.

The situation that could have been stalemate quickly turned sharply. The Tianwangzhai soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they retreated step by step. They had to turn around in the Huyang realm, and were chased and killed by people like a dog, and they were exhausted.

The huge army of Tianwangzhai was like a mess of sand. Under the unstoppable charge of Chen Feng, it began to disintegrate and was eroded step by step.

...

At the same time, the capital, the Purple Palace.

It's another day of the dynasty, and the ministers are discussing another memorial for help written by Lu Longchuan some time ago.

"Your Majesty, Lu Longchuan was forced to take the defensive. It is difficult to continue the bandit campaign. The imperial court should send troops quickly and go to support."

Pang Hong bowed, his tone condensed.

A minister smiled and said: "Hey, Pang Shumi has been thinking too much, then Lulongchuan and Longwangzhai are deadlocked, just more casualties and thieves, when they are almost dead, I will send troops later, this is the way for fishermen to benefit, why bother act."

Pang Hong said solemnly: "The fighter plane is fleeting. If we wait for Lu Longchuan to retreat, and we wait to send troops again, and the enemy's momentum is like a rainbow, how can we win?"

"Pang Shumi don't want to be alarmist, Lu Longchuan's army will be defeated so easily."

Another minister didn't care.

The emperor nodded and said slowly: "All the Aiqings are right, but I have sent Shenxiao Fengling to help. I want to come to Lulongchuan to fight for a long time, but now is not the time to send troops."

He also wanted to continue to watch the fire from the other side, and then go to pick peaches when both sides were severely injured.

Of course, if Tianwangzhai could directly pacify Huyang, he would be even more happy and save a lot of military expenses.

The ministers agreed one after another, all complacent about this trick to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, still thinking about waiting for both sides to lose.

Pang Hong sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to remain silent.

Left Prime Minister Lv Wenzong laughed and said:

"Speaking of which, Shenxiao Fengling is really a strange person. According to reports from the front line, his magical powers can change the color of the sky and the tornado, and compete with Chen Feng. It is the country's fortune to serve as an immortal master."

Hearing this, the emperor smiled and stroked his beard, which seemed to be quite useful.

But in his heart, he was actually a little more apprehensive. It was really the performance of Real Master Yufeng on the front line. It was a bit too shocking and really scary.

The way of checks and balances is about restraint and balance. The emperor doesn't know what he can use to check and balance the real Yufeng. The group of people in Sitianjian seems to be not enough to see in front of the real Yufeng.

The ministers did not discuss the battle of Huyang too much, and planned to continue to wait and see, and they quickly retreated today.

Ning Zhongjun returned to Sitianjian and closed the door with Yin Nan to plot.

"I don't know what the current situation is, whether the kid from Tianwangzhai that we bought has already attacked Lingfengzi."

Yin Nan whispered.

Ning Zhongjun pondered: "Calculate the time, it should be almost the same, it is best to directly poison that Lingfengzi."

"...That Lingfengzi is proficient in alchemy, will he really be tricked?" Yin Nan had some doubts.

Ning Zhongjun raised his brows and said with a smile:

"Nine worms eat the heart sand is a secret that my teaching does not pass down. It was originally a recipe that one of the head teachers found outside. It originated from the Western Border Gu technique. After generations of improvement, it is more hidden, colorless and tasteless, it is silver You can't detect it even if you probe it with a needle, you can only know it's poisoned if you eat it, it can make people's blood go against their blood, their eyeballs burst, and they'll be killed on the spot...

"I teach this kind of poison?" Yin Nan was surprised, he had never even heard of him at the top of the teaching.

"This prescription is too evil, so I taught my ancestors to use it very rarely. This time, to eliminate the enemy, I made an exception to use it."

Ning Zhongjun nodded, paused, and continued:

"Even if Lingfengzi wasn't poisoned to death, most of his vitality would be severely damaged. I have sent out lay disciples to hide in the surrounding areas of Huyang. If there is no chance, I will wait and see what happens... In short, this time, I will make that Lingfengzi die in the middle of the road, and he will never be allowed to return to Beijing alive after he has made meritorious deeds!"
