Chapter 583 The Killing Army
Some things, if you want to truly understand them, you must understand them yourself.
Even if others can see through it and say it... it will have no effect.
Even, there are opportunities that may affect your own understanding.
If Yu Cang had told Gu Jieshuang before today that she had understood the sword's intention, she would have been confused... Then out of trust in Cang, she would have been working towards the sword's intention, trying to dig out the hidden sword's intention... And This will only make the sword intention bury deeper and deeper in my heart.
Once you get into the trap, it will be difficult to get out.
At that time, Yu Cang couldn’t tell, and the same is true now.
One day, Gu Jieshuang had a flash of inspiration and realized that her sword intention was incomplete...that was when she transformed again.
While a few people were chatting, Wen Renge looked at this place with a somewhat complicated look.
That scene just now... was so spectacular.
It is hard to imagine that the person surrounded by thousands of swords, who looks like a sword god... is actually one of his schoolmates, and the person who will succeed him as the president of the fighting club next year.
He...even if he tried his best, he wouldn't be able to survive an attack like that just now...
He saw several heirloom-level long swords alone, and such weapons did not require any preparation, they could be summoned with just a thought!
If he and Gu Jieshuang had a duel and she used such an attack at the beginning, Wen Renge couldn't imagine how she could resist it.
Are these still his peers?
In the past few days, he also understood what the sword intention was, and the result was... a little numb.
Things that even myths may not necessarily be understood... There are only two people in the Eastern Continent who have sword intent, and one of them is an old guy from two thousand years ago.
Is this kind of thing something they should be exposed to at this age?
Damn it, one such genius is enough, why do you need another one?
For a while, I felt like crying when I heard the song.
Living in the same era and country as this kind of person, I really don’t know whether it’s lucky or unfortunate.
I heard... Duan Feng also understood the rudimentary form of sword intention?
Luckily, he thought he was qualified to compete with Duan Feng, but...
Wen Renge looked at his hands.
It would be great if he could understand it too.
well.
At this time, Du Yanran came over.
“Since we’re awake, should I cancel the armed ordnance chariot first? Ammunition is required to maintain its existence, and such a chariot is too conspicuous in the Tent of Eternal Life.”
Yu Cang nodded: "Of course - there will be no need for it next."
When they sneak in, they must keep a low profile for a while, otherwise they will be exposed too easily.
Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly—
Whoosh!
Qiu Jindong's figure suddenly rushed out, passing through the afterimages in mid-air, and then flew up with a kick -
bang!
A rusty dagger was kicked away by Qiu Jindong. After spinning in the air for a few times, it was inserted into the ground.
Qiu Jindong pulled back his feet and looked at the two hunters shivering on the ground with calm eyes.
Beside him, Lou Yan also fell to the ground, looking frightened, and now he was breathing heavily.
Yu Cang frowned and stepped forward: "Qiu Zhenguo, what happened just now?"
Autumn Jindong: "...these two hunters want to kill Lou Yan."
Hearing this, Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He turned around and suddenly laughed: "I said there was something fishy...you guys really have bad intentions."
When he said this, his imperial heart had been slightly activated, with a hint of imperial power mixed into it.
Yu Cang originally wanted to break down the psychological defenses of the two hunters so that they could explain who instigated them, but...
"Sir...sir, spare your life! Spare your life!"
The male hunter curled up in a ball on the ground, shaking all over, but he still insisted on kowtowing with his head...but there was no one where he kowtowed, so he was kowtowing randomly.
On the side, the huntress was even more exaggerated. Her body was completely twisted on the ground, and she was shaking constantly, as if she had a stroke.
…No, it’s just a stroke.
She was foaming at the mouth.
Yu Cang frowned.
Is it necessary to be so afraid?
The killer sent by the person behind the scenes couldn't possibly just have this kind of psychological quality...could it be just his acting skills?
While Yu Cang was thinking for a moment, Lou Yan, who was sitting next to him, had already come up to him, rolled up his clothes and stuffed them into the mouth of the huntress, and then started to pinch her body hard to prevent her from passing out.
Yu Cang: "I said..."
“Sir, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!”
…”
Yu Cang couldn't help but remain silent.
Could he really be an ordinary person?
Looking at the strength of the two of them, they are only at the level of second-level soul card masters, but any normal person would be at this level at this age.
But just now…
At this time, Qiu Jindong looked over and asked, "How to deal with these people?"
Yu Cang put his hands in his pockets, opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said:
“What does Qiu Zhenguo think?”
“Kill them,” Qiu Jindong said. “Leaving them alive will only expose our whereabouts.”
“Then…”
Yu Cang's words came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything.
Looking at Yu Cang like this, Qiu Jindong's eyes moved slightly, but there was no surprise.
After all, he is just a young man.
Faced with Salang and Fa Shi just now, Yu Cang, who was able to kill decisively and have a decisive emperor's heart, was a little embarrassed just now.
Judging from Yu Cang's previous performance, he shouldn't even ask himself this moment. When he realizes that nothing can be answered by asking, he should just kill him.
At most, let them do it for you.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong said, "Do you think they may be just ordinary people, and it would be too hasty to deal with them like this?"
…”
"Actually, we don't need to conceal our whereabouts - sneaking into the Everlasting Tent is just a spur-of-the-moment decision, and the only reasonable purpose is to conceal the identity of Senior Taichu. But we have already entered the Everlasting Tent, so we can tell it directly. There is no need to kill people to hide our whereabouts. , let alone killing ordinary people.”
Yu Cang took a deep breath: "That's right."
"But -" Qiu Jindong said, "We are in the heart of the enemy's country. The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we are not careful, we will die without a burial place. Furthermore, military orders cannot be changed overnight, and we cannot be indecisive. Since the decision is made in He Dawangting Before joining together, you must sneak in to test it secretly, and you must carry it out to the end.
Hearing this, Yu Cang fell into a long silence.
Qiu Jindong didn’t say anything more, but just looked at him, waiting for him to speak again.
Du Yanran behind him glanced at Qiu Jindong.
He is the commander of this operation, right... Well, forget it, that's fine.
In short, just listen to Yu Cang.
After a long time, Yu Cang exhaled a long breath.
"I see."
Yu Cang raised his hand, the soul card was shattered, and a sword of punishment appeared from it.
“I’ll come in person.”
Seeing this, Qiu almost showed a smile in winter.
good.
In this line of work, although Yu Cang does not have the responsibility of command, he has the ability to command.
In doing so, in addition to taking into account that no one can direct the move, it must also be a trial for Emperor Changan.
This means that Emperor Chang'an has made it clear - just do it, you will have a share of the credit if anything happens, and Du Yanran will take the blame if something goes wrong.
Although it sounds a bit unfair to Du Yanran, in fact, even if he takes the blame, Du Yanran will not be punished. At most, he will be promoted openly and covertly - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Cang will definitely hold a high position in the Yan Kingdom in the future, and Du Yanran will follow suit. Once you go there, you don’t have to worry about the future at all.
Even if Du Yanran is not qualified to take the blame, he still has to come in autumn and winter.
Of course, finding someone to take the blame is not the main purpose—experience is.
Yu Cang is young after all, and he will never understand things like this without personal experience.
When Yu Cang succeeds Emperor Changan in the future, there will only be more difficult decisions than this.
Yu Cang's eyes gradually turned cold. He waved his hand and was about to let the sword of punishment kill two people. At this time, Lou Yan suddenly came up:
“Wait... don’t!”
–
The sword of punishment stopped in mid-air. Yu Cang's eyes fell on Lou Yan and said, "What's the reason?"
“They are the people of the Hunter tribe, and they must be governed by the laws of the Hunter tribe…”
"Don't do this to me." Yu Cang said, "This has nothing to do with me - besides, you treat them as subjects, they may not treat you as a prince. They were the ones who wanted to kill you just now."
Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Wait...I can interrogate them first. I will definitely be able to ask you what you are interested in!"
…”
Yu Cang moved his fingers slightly, and the sword of punishment penetrated the ground and dissipated into soul card fragments.
Spell cards are not equipment after all and cannot exist for such a long time.
"My time is limited." Yu Cang said, "Before you return to the Great King's Court, you must fully cooperate with our actions."
“I know...Don’t worry, I understand.”
Lou Yan stood up: "Um, Yu Cang...can you help me clean up the smell on my body?"
Yu Cang didn't say anything. He waved his hand and activated the soul card he just made. A ray of light flowed over Lou Yan's body, completely removing the corpse smell.
Just now I met the Iron Man after disposing of the corpse, and I didn’t have time to use this card.
The light of the soul card swept across, and Lou Yan had a new look. Without hesitation, he immediately squatted down and got in front of the hunter man who smelled sour.
"Old man... don't worry, I am the prince of the Great Royal Court. I will ask you a few questions. As long as you answer them truthfully, there will be no problem."
“I…I…”
The man was still shaking, but with Lou Yan's comfort, he was much better than before.
He lowered his eyebrows, looked at Lou Yan cautiously, and then at Yu Cang's legs - his eyes only dared to go here and did not dare to go up any further.
"Okay...Okay, I will definitely say it, I will definitely say it..."
“Come on, get up first.”
Lou Yan tried to help the man up, but the man seemed to be stressed and did not dare to get up. Instead, he knelt back on the ground.
…"That's what I'll ask."
Lou Yan tried his best to lower his head.
“Old man, why did you kill me just now?”
“I, I…”
“It doesn’t matter, just say it.”
"I...I didn't mean it, sir." The man said with a bitter look on his face, "I just remembered that I saw...I saw your portrait in the tent. It seemed to be a wanted order, and I was thinking...thinking..."
"Me?" Lou Yan pursed his lips, "But it's useless even if you kill me. There are so many of us, how can you go back alive to receive the reward?"
These two people were chased so embarrassingly by an iron man just now, and anyone in their team could take advantage of that iron man.
How do they have the confidence to complete this act under their noses?
"I...I don't want to either." The man put his forehead on the ground and clenched his fists, "We really have no choice... I have a family of nine, and now we are the only ones left. We have no talent. We have already lost it a few days ago. Selected to be a human elixir...
"We can only escape...but the bounty, the bounty is good. As long as we can complete a bounty, not only can we get a lot of things, but we can also save Yaomei from having to make human pills...I just thought that all the adults were far away. , I have a chance to succeed, and after I am killed, I can let Yaomei sell my skin, maybe I can get through..."
Lou Yan: “…”
He turned his head and glanced at Yu Cang, but found that Yu Cang's expression did not change at all.
He knew that although he asked clearly about the reason, it was not enough to interest Yu Cang.
So he quickly turned around and spoke again: "Then where did you originally plan to escape? Have you ever thought that we might have let you go, but if you did, you would force us to kill you?"
"I..." the man's lips trembled, and he said after a long time, "We heard that there is a killing army in the south, and we want to defect to it... This is our only way to survive, but we are not soul card masters, and most of the killing army will not look down on us... Just now, just now...maybe this was the only chance..."
Hearing this, Lou Yan's eyes widened slightly and he immediately asked: "The Killing Army? What is that?"
"The killing army...is...an army formed by people who have conflicts with the court...they..."
At this time, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Rebels?"
"I, I, I don't dare..." The man immediately began to kowtow after hearing this, "I didn't say, I didn't say... I didn't say that!"
Yu Cang: “…”
"Okay, old man," Lou Yan said quickly, "please tell us about this killing army in detail, and we will let you go."
The man raised his head slightly: "Really...really?"
“Of course, you say.”
"Okay...Okay, I said." The man paused, "Um...several adults, you, are you members of the Killing Army?"
“We are not.”
"Okay, okay...the Killing Army, they...they can't stand the behavior of a few people in the court, so they want to use force to win over..."
The man spoke stumblingly.
It can be seen that the man has no education. Sometimes what he says has no preface and follow-up, and there is no logic at all. He just says what comes to mind.
The conversations above are all information that Yu Cang has compiled directly from the starry sky horizon.
Furthermore, men are obviously afraid that they will deliberately use clichés, so what they say is always intended to not offend both parties and to be seen as a good person.
But judging from his reaction, it was obvious that this was not the case.
