Stop suddenly!
The moment Cui Xiao activated the way of the scribe, the indiscriminate bombardment of thunder and lightning seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. Although the thunderclouds overhead were still rolling, and countless black and purple arcs were jumping between the clouds, no more lightning fell. Countless people were stunned by this scene, and some were even uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of the rumble and mistakenly thought they were hearing hallucinations.
Fang Yan’s old friend looked at Cui Xiao in disbelief.
I didn’t expect this unfamiliar scribe who accidentally became famous to have such methods. Why haven’t I heard of similar people in Shen Youli’s account before? The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his thoughts came alive - looking at this situation, Shen Youli is really qualified to fight with others.
The previous judgment seemed a bit arbitrary.
Fang Yan noticed the calculation flashing in his old friend's eyes.
Considering the status and abilities of Qi Shan and the other three, he was also worried that his old friend would hit the target recklessly, and secretly reminded him that if he was targeted by these three people, he would not be able to protect himself even if the gods of Daluo came. The old friend didn't care about this, he was just curious to find out Cui Xiao's identity.
Fang Yandao: "Cui Xiao, whose courtesy name is Shanxiao."
Old friend: “…”
Fang Yan noticed that his old friend was particularly concerned about this name, the corners of his mouth straightened, and he was on guard. This reaction is too big. Could it be that he has an old grudge with Cui Xiao?
Old friend just laughed at this.
There is no old enmity, but the name Cui Xiao is familiar.
It can be said to be "like thunder piercing the ears"!
As we all know, the Yushitai of Kang State is a person who is not easy to mess with. From the imperial censor Gu Chi, to the firecracker-like censor Zhongcheng Tiancuo, to the group of all-pervasive censors, whoever provokes someone will be unlucky, and they will lose at least a layer of skin if they are caught.
However, the one who is most feared is a mysterious censor who comes and goes without a trace, and was once suspected to be a huge intelligence organization, Cui Shanxiao. Several major official cases since the founding of Kang State are basically inseparable from this person.
No one knows how he collected the confidential evidence or how it got into the hands of Shen Youli. They only know that by the time he realized it, he was already in jail. Because the evidence is overwhelming, those who were arrested lacked the confidence to cry "unjustly accused."
The person named Shen relied on this skill to clear out a group of people who were not easy to deal with.
Aristocratic families with unclean buttocks are even more silent.
Afraid of being targeted next.
An old friend has a distant in-law who is one of them. He even went to visit the prisoner to inquire about the situation. How could well-preserved evidence be taken away? Could it be that there is a traitor in the family? Is there an spy in the house? The other party cried bitterly: [How can I know? 】
You can also infer a coincidence once or twice.
Seven or eight times is enough to make people tremble.
The deeds of Cui Xiao, the censor of the Procuratorate, were also dug up.
This mysterious organization belongs to Shen Tang and specializes in inquiring about the secrets of officials and monitoring the court for her.
For a time, people's hearts were in turmoil and the wind was trembling.
Friends are quite critical of this.
It’s just that he never expected it.
Chui Xiao is actually a human being!
ˆThe "truths" speculated before are all absurd rumors!
While friends were fearful and wary of Cui Xiao, they also had sincere admiration - one against a thousand! What a genius!
Fang Yan didn't know what was going on in his friend's mind, so he said to himself: "Cui Yushi is not a straight-forward, narrow-minded, intolerant and magnanimous person. If you have old grievances, it is better to sit down and talk about it..."
Friends: “…”
For the first time in his life, he suspected that there was something wrong with Fang Laoliu's eyes.
Is he blind?
Just as his friend was about to explain something, Cui Xiao, who had been smiling proudly at Qi Yuanliang in his last breath, backed away without warning and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and the aura of heaven and earth lingering around him changed from peaceful to violent and disorderly: "Cui Shanxiao!"
This change came too suddenly.
Qi Shan came close to Cui Xiao and stretched out his hand to support him.
Hurryly asked: "What's going on?"
Cui Xiao didn't need to answer at all, because the thundercloud above his head had already given the answer. The thundercloud that was just like a headless fly and didn't know where to hit it started to move again. It was like a person who had been fooled found the culprit, and poured all the anger he had accumulated into the target. The rolling thunderclouds became even more turbulent, and even the ground was shaken. A bolt of lightning that was four to five times thicker than before struck down.
Chao Lian felt bad when he saw this.
“Can’t fall behind!”
Dozens of rays of light of different colors and strengths burst out at the same time, heading straight towards the thunder and lightning. The moment the two clashed in mid-air, the terrifying air waves spread out in all directions with it as the center, and the sound was also deprived. Dazzling white light bloomed above the head.
Countless people subconsciously raised their hands to block their eyes.
Strangely, the expected air wave impact did not appear.
The friend carefully opened his eyes, only to see that his raised sleeves were covered with white frost. The temperature around him dropped sharply at some point, and the air he breathed into his lungs was filled with an exhilarating chill. Looking up, the first thing that catches the eye are several solid barriers.
These barriers were created by Qi Yuanliang and others.
Whether it is the thickness or the area, it is staggering.
It is roughly estimated that it can offset the frontal air wave impact caused by the explosion.
If it were in the past, he would definitely be shocked - literary scribes have always been frugal in their use of literature, and they are either smart people who don't lack literary talent or ignorant young people who don't understand anything - right now. He was not in such a mood, just because a scene happened in front of him that shocked him to the point of speechlessness!
Huge ice sculptures that can almost connect thunderclouds and city walls appear out of thin air between heaven and earth! What was instantly frozen was not only the residual power of thunder and lightning that had not been completely offset, but also the air waves generated by the explosion!
He vaguely heard himself stuttering.
I believe that at this moment, not only was he stuttering, but the people in the city who saw this scene were also so shocked that they ran away from home, not knowing how to describe the scene in front of them. Although the thunderclouds are very low, the distance from the ground is also very considerable. You can imagine how difficult it is to create such a shocking scene.
The most important thing is—those who come are friends, not enemies, they are reinforcements!
The ice sculpture only appeared for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, and countless dense raindrops fell from the sky, crackling and wet the ground.
The tense heartstrings of Qi Shan finally loosened.
With such characteristics, it is too easy to guess the identity of the visitor.
“Yuanmou!”
Yunce appeared in response.
The raindrops in the sky seemed to be eaten by whales and gathered together in one place, condensing into a human figure, which instantly transformed into Yun Ce's appearance when it landed. The anxiety on his face has not dissipated, but he is sincerely thankful: "Fortunately, I finally caught up. Is the book of prayer injured?"
Before Qi Shan could say anything, Cui Xiao, who was supported by him, said faintly: "How can the Lord's precious egg be hurt? Yuanmou is really unjust. If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer the backlash... Alas, The way of being a scribe who has not yet perfected is easy to suffer losses, and even if you can find this, it will make me angry!"
Hearing the words, Qishan immediately pulled his hand back.
Cui Xiao staggered and almost fell down.
He threw the scrapped sword and fan in his hand and said angrily: "Qi Yuanliang, you are avenging your personal revenge! Are you going to kill me?"
Yun Ce tried to mediate the conflict and took the blame on himself. However, Cui Xiao refused to buy it. He raised his hand to brush away Yun Ce's extended hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked at the thunderclouds still brewing in the sky with gloomy eyes: "Very good! Very good!"
The thunderclouds overhead were no longer approaching, and Yun Ce was here again. Qishan could finally breathe a sigh of relief and notice some small details.
“Yuanmou, what’s going on with all the blood on your body?”
Yun Ce is one of the few military generals who likes to be clean. Although he is not as keen on incense and grooming as the literary scholars, he can still stay fresh all year round and will not be sloppy. In the words of the Lord, this fits the stereotype of every spearman who loves white.
There is only one possibility that Yun Ce has blood on his body.
Meeted enemies on the road and was delayed.
Yunce's answer is also consistent with Qishan's guess.
“Captured a group of enemy troops.”
“Enemy troops?”
Mentioning this matter, Yun Ce's face was visibly angry: "The fighting method of that group of enemy troops is very similar to the elites coming out of Zhechong Mansion. They deceived our trust halfway, but then suddenly attacked... The final general That’s when I thought Shangnan fell.”
The air was quiet for a moment.
Qi Shan and others came over halfway. They didn't know what happened. They just frowned and worried about the enemy's methods. With Yun Ce's caution, if they wanted to deceive him and sneak into the army, this group of people must be extremely familiar with Kang Guo's Zhechong Mansion. He also knows the secret codes of the army.
Meet the above conditions—
Hand side confirms that there is a traitor in the Kangguo army.
While Qishan was worried, he didn't forget to scold Gu Chi. Why is this guy staring at me? The whole camp is about to be sieved by the enemy!
As soon as the curse started, the truth was revealed.
Good news, there is no so-called super powerful traitor in the camp.
Bad news, these enemy troops are from Shangnan County.
The faces of Fang Yan and the former guard of Shangnan County were so dark that they could not be seen. Qi Shan also had murderous intention: "Did they kill them?"
Yun Ce is not a slow person and realized something was wrong.
He said softly: "Kill 40% and make the rest prisoners."
Qi Shan and others closed their eyes in a deep voice.
If the information provided by Fang Yan is true, this group of so-called rebels were ordered to ambush the "enemies" disguised as their own people, and Yun Ce was attacked by surprise and counterattacked to clean up the enemy soldiers... Both sides were not wrong, but The result is a lose-lose situation for both sides.
The person who designed this bureau…
It is very poisonous and cruel enough.
Whether they were killing each other, or Yun Ce was delayed and couldn't catch up in time, in the end it was Shangnan County who suffered, and the enemy of Gao State who gained. So, was this game set by He Shubu?
The congratulatory letter seemed to read his thoughts.
“It can’t be the eldest brother.”
The two brothers are twins with special circumstances. They can sense each other's situation telepathically to a certain extent. His eldest brother He Shu did not have the time or conditions to set up this situation. In this game, there is a detail that is easily overlooked but is crucial.
He Xin looked at Qishan with strange eyes.
“Speaking of which, this disguise that can deceive people can compete with Yuan Liang, right? If you...”
Qi Shan didn’t even want to open his mouth to refute.
"how-"
He said and paused suddenly.

guess who it is, there is no reward for the correct guess.
PS: Today’s update is a bit short, I’ll catch up tomorrow if I have the opportunity (I feel like I won’t be able to maintain perfect attendance this month, woo woo woo)
