Chapter 194 Sword Manual, Ghost Sword Three Styles (8000)
Since the establishment of the Shengyou Army, discipline has been strict, and there will be no riots in the barracks.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside, probably something happened.
Chu Yu's fair complexion changed slightly, she turned her head to look at Xu Bai, and said, "I'll go out and have a look."
Xu Bai stood up and stretched his waist: "I'll go and have a look too, let's go together."
The two went straight out of the camp, and followed the source of the sound to an open space. At this moment, a large number of wounded soldiers were lying in the open space. with blood.
Many generals were watching around, and King Shengyou was also present.
Before he got close, he heard the angry voice of King Shengyou, transmitted from afar.
"This **** country of Dayue is really insane. It doesn't even obey the most basic default rules!"
"It seems that they want to start a large-scale war with us, and this king is not scared, so let's fight once."
"Come here, gather soldiers and horses, and fight with me on the battlefield!"
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, nodded in unison, bowed and cupped their fists: "Yes!"
They were about to leave to lead their respective soldiers and horses. After gathering the soldiers and horses, they were led by King Shengyou and went directly to the battlefield.
Seeing this situation, Chu Yu yelled and walked up: "Father, wait a minute, what's going on?"
Hearing the voice, King Shengyou turned his head and said, "Didn't you discover the strangeness of the mortal state before? I sent someone to deal with it. I didn't expect to be ambushed by the people of Dayue Kingdom just after the deal was over. Zhou lost his life."
The words were full of anger. Obviously, the other party was so unruly that he had already touched his reverse scale.
If something strange happens on the battlefield, everyone must deal with it first. This is an unspoken rule that all three parties must abide by.
But now the Great Viet Kingdom has broken this rule on its own initiative, and is still ambush there, waiting for them to deal with it before doing anything.
This is no longer a provocation. From King Shengyou’s point of view, the Great Viet Kingdom wants to start an all-out war against them.
Wang Zhou, the general who was stabbed blind, got ready to follow King Shengyou regardless of his injuries.
After King Shengyou finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, everyone wait first." Chu Yu hurriedly said: "There may be something strange about this matter, so don't act recklessly."
She knew his father best.
If he leads the army to fight, he is really a good player. After all, the name of King Shengyou is well-known even in the Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians.
On the battlefield, the Shengyou Army has gained a reputation for being brave and fearless in battle.
But at this moment, why can't her father see through what she can see through?
Just think about it, it has been so long, and there hasn't been much war. Even if she killed the Ninth Prince of Dayue, there was no great conflict. At most, they ambushed and killed the eldest prince of Great Chu.
But after all, it was just an assassination and assassination. A direct conflict like this still didn't happen.
The current unspoken rules that must be followed in all three aspects are inexplicably disrupted by the Great Viet Kingdom. What does the Great Viet Kingdom think? Is it possible to have full confidence that we can go to war?
The most important thing is that the Shengyou army is guarding the border here, and the battle line is very long. If the Shengyou army is called at this moment, who will guard the border?
If there is only Dayue, that would be a good thing. At worst, everyone will go to war, but there is still a barbarian eyeing. If the barbarian takes this opportunity to sneak in, wouldn't it be someone else's wedding dress?
Even Chu Yu could see this matter clearly. She didn't know why her father was so reckless.
King Shengyou waved his hand when he heard the words, and said: "Don't worry about it, just wait for my order, and they have already slapped their noses on the face. If they don't slap them, what will be the face of my Great Chu Kingdom?"
Chu Yu opened his mouth slightly, but wanted to continue talking.
But before she could say it, she felt someone pulling her wrist. Turning her head, she saw Xu Bai shaking her head slightly, grabbing her wrist slightly.
Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what this meant.
But she trusted Xu Bai with all her heart, so seeing Xu Bai make such an expression, she temporarily suppressed her thoughts.
King Shengyou is gone, and he is really going to order soldiers and horses.
Xu Bai took Chu Yu's hand and went straight back to his tent.
Along the way, Chu Yu didn't say anything, but everyone could see the doubt in his eyes. After entering the tent, he finally couldn't help it, and asked what was in his heart.
"Dad, he can't do such a reckless thing, in case the barbarians..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Bai interrupted him.
Xu Bai pressed Chu Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think the prince is really a reckless man? If he is just a reckless man, how could he keep guarding here?"
Chu Yu was stunned, and after savoring what Xu Bai said, he said, "Is there another meaning?"
Xu Bai nodded. He had already thought of something, but he was not sure.
Chu Yu's eyes rolled slightly: "Could it be related to the barbarians? What is the connection between the Great Chu Kingdom and the barbarians? Let's deal with the Great Yue Kingdom first?"
She can only think of these. After all, this is the only way to say this. If you think about it carefully, if you really want to deal with the country of Dayue, it is impossible not to consider the barbarian's sneaking in.
Now that King Shengyou really wanted to deal with the Dayue Kingdom, he took this worry into consideration.
If there is cooperation with the barbarians, then all this makes sense.
Xu Bai heard Chu Yu's thoughts, but shook his head: "Impossible."
Chu Yu originally thought that her analysis was already very unique, but when Xu Bai denied it, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and took Xu Bai's hand and shook it gently.
"Don't be tricky, just tell me."
Xu Bai smiled: "Have you noticed that the wounded soldiers who came back are all fine, they seem to be seriously injured, but none of them died."
"It stands to reason that the other party set up an ambush there. After all, it is impossible for no one to die. If they die, it is normal to be able to bring back the wounded soldiers and bring back some corpses, but there is no one. dead body."
"There is a problem with your previous analysis. If you really cooperate with the barbarians, the Great Chu Kingdom will not send troops."
"Think about it carefully, if a former enemy of yours asked you to cooperate and let you deal with another person, and let you go all out first, would you be willing?"
Chu Yu fell into deep thought, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
She opened her eyes wide, analyzed Xu Bai's words, and then spoke tentatively after a while.
"Did my father have other plans?"
Xu Bai nodded and said: "It should be like this. In my opinion, this battle should not be fought."
It is definitely impossible to fight, and the performance of King Shengyou just now was a bit reckless to be honest, Xu Bai always felt that he was performing for someone.
As for the purpose behind the scenes, let’s read it first.
With Xu Bai's explanation, Chu Yu felt a little relieved.
"Then I'll go and gather my people first. My father has ordered it just now, and I'm also a member of the barracks, so I need to arrange it first."
Xu Bai nodded and agreed.
It's fine for him to stay here, so he went out with Chu Yu.
When Chu Yu was making arrangements, Xu Bai saw his subordinates.
What Xu Bai didn't expect was that these subordinates were all Jianghu people. Although none of them had stepped into the mortal state, a few of them had already touched the edge of the mortal state.
Chu Yu was summoning his subordinates, and Xu Bai's arrival made these Jianghu people look excited, and some even trembled with excitement.
Of course they are excited. Those who are in the rivers and lakes now, who doesn't know the word Xu Wangye, can meet a real person, and can chat with others when they go out in the future.
However, the military order was in place, and they all obeyed the discipline. No one came up to talk to Xu Bai, but their eyes could not be separated from Xu Bai.
Several female quacks even winked at Xu Bai.
Of course Chu Yu also saw it, and silently wrote down those female quacks in a small notebook, and gave them more training when she had time.
After all the men and horses were assembled, a blast of horns spread throughout the barracks.
At the same time, the soldiers in charge of ordering were running around.
"Decree, a truce today, and tomorrow, all barracks are ready to go!"
The password was passed on three times, spreading throughout the entire camp.
In the barracks, there was a tense and serious atmosphere, as if the fight would really start tomorrow.
If Xu Bai hadn't believed in his own judgment, he would have felt that the entire battle would start tomorrow.
Chu Yu quickly waved his hand: "The people and horses are all here, find a place to rest first, but don't be too lax, gather together early tomorrow morning."
Military orders are like mountains, saying that tomorrow is tomorrow, and there is no room for detours.
Now it's just a matter of getting people together and letting them know the news so they don't get caught off guard tomorrow.
Everyone nodded and left.
Chu Yu waited until everyone had left, then walked up to Xu Bai, grabbed Xu Bai's sleeve, and said, "I wanted to accompany you to eat and drink, but now I have to go back to my tent."
With military orders in hand, she dared not slack off.
Xu Bai smiled, patted Chu Yu's head habitually, and said, "I've grown up."
Thinking of Chu Yu who was still studying with her before, she was really a pure and cute little girl at that time. Although Chu Yu is still innocent and cute now, she has been able to be independent in many cases.
Chu Yu blushed a little after being touched by Xu Bai, stomped her feet, slapped Xu Bai's hand away, and said, "You can't touch your head anymore when you grow up, and you won't be able to touch your head in the future. You have to treat me as an adult."
As he spoke, he didn't know what was going on, so he ran away with a blushing face.
Xu Bai's face was full of confusion.
Wasn't it enjoyable to be touched on the head before, why did it suddenly become like this?
"The heart of a woman, the needle of the sea, don't understand, don't understand, it's better for Ye Zi, the technology is better, and he doesn't engage in such petty tempers."
Thinking of Ye Zi, Xu Bai was also thinking. He didn't know when we would see each other. It was still very early in her study time, and she didn't even know how she was progressing.
He didn't think too much, and turned back to his camp.
As for whether the fight will start tomorrow, we will see tomorrow.
…
The night is getting deeper and deeper. In the dark clouds, the moon is hidden deep in it. Only sporadic moonlight shines on the land through the clouds.
In the broad barracks, there are soldiers patrolling with weapons from time to time, some tents are brightly lit, and some tents have turned off their lights to rest.
Xu Bai hasn't slept yet, looking at the dim oil lamp in front of him, he is still thinking about what happened in the morning.
He didn't know exactly what kind of medicine was sold in King Shengyou's gourd, but he always felt that something had to happen tonight.
Tomorrow is going to start, and it is impossible to fight, so tonight should be a necessary time point.
Xu Bai didn't know whether his guess was right or not, but after he had this guess, it didn't matter if he didn't rest for a while.
After entering the Transcendence Realm, for him, not resting for ten days and a half months will not have much impact.
Outside the camp, people passed by from time to time, they were soldiers on patrol.
One post at five steps, one post at ten steps.
King Shengyou's barracks is extremely heavily guarded. This is only on the surface, and it is unknown how many people are still guarding behind the scenes.
Xu Bai looked at the figure shaking from time to time, put his hands on his head, and just leaned on the chair.
He suddenly felt that the life in Bianguan was full of some special freshness.
After all, he has never experienced living in a tent like now. Of course, this novelty is only temporary, and he will get tired of it after living in a tent for a long time.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai changed his foot, put his right foot on the corner of the table, and leaned over the table.
When he had just changed his foot, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.
"There are footsteps."
The footsteps were extremely subtle, but they were completely different from those of the patrolling soldiers. Every step the patrolling soldiers took was aboveboard.
But the footsteps were sneaky, like a cat walking on its feet.
Now is the critical period, who will walk on their feet?
Xu Bai raised the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing this voice, and he seemed to understand what King Shengyou was doing.
The soul began to expand, and after a while, the area was covered under his soul.
Xu Bai was able to see through his soul that there was a phantom flashing slightly in an open space not far away in the huge military camp.
After the phantom appeared, it quickly escaped into the surrounding air. If it was an ordinary time, it would be really difficult to find.
This is a master who is very good at concealment.
If Xu Bai hadn't heard the footsteps, he wouldn't have used his soul to observe, and if he didn't use his soul to observe, even he wouldn't have been able to detect them.
Xu Bai himself was very vigilant tonight. After all, what happened, he had already raised the 12 points of caution, so he discovered something.
"It seems that the Shengyou army is not monolithic. King Shengyou's abnormality today is probably because of this." Xu Bai thought to himself.
As soon as he came out, Xu Bai ran into a patrolling soldier.
However, these soldiers also knew Xu Bai's identity. Seeing Xu Bai come out now, they didn't feel any difference, took a look and left.
Xu Bai didn't communicate, but rushed towards the direction where the phantom disappeared.
Under the shroud of his soul, he could feel that subtle abnormality, and he had already left the barracks.
Xu Bai didn't make a fuss, but quietly followed behind.
Not long after, he was getting closer and closer to that phantom, but at this moment, he felt that phantom stopped.
Soon, there was a commotion not far ahead, and there was a cry of killing, very subtle, but Xu Bai heard it.
"Sure enough, it turned out that such a big movement was made to get the fish to take the bait."
Xu Bai performed the Nine Revolutions of Divine Walk, turned into a phantom, and approached quickly.
Soon, he came to the place where the shouts of killing came, and saw a man in armor surrounded by a group of soldiers.
The leader of this group of soldiers was the general who was blinded in the morning.
The general’s eyes are almost healed. I don’t know what secret method was used to grow new eyes. However, there are many magical professions in this world, so it’s normal to have such a situation.
The people surrounded were wounded, holding a machete in their hands, and said angrily: "Wang Zhou, in terms of position, I am above you, how dare you send someone to attack me!"
Wang Zhou asked his subordinates not to relax their vigilance, and surrounded the surrounding area tightly, and then smiled: "Foxes will show their tails after all, including the dark buildings in Dayue Kingdom."
A dark building?
Xu Bai hid aside. After hearing these two words, he felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that he had encountered it before.
The dark building is very similar to Jiantiansi. It is a sophisticated intelligence agency of the Great Chu Kingdom. It also has the same duties as Jiantiansi, but it is broader and even serves the army.
The people in the dark building are not only in charge of the rivers and lakes of Dayue Kingdom, but also responsible for assassination, spying, ambush, and spies.
Looking at it now, the general who was surrounded seems to be the person from the dark building.
Wang Zhou's words have already made things clear, and the faces of the generals who were surrounded became extremely ugly, obviously knowing that they had been exposed.
The general seemed to have thought of something, with a terrified look on his face: "There is such a big commotion, and he also said that he would go to war with the Dayue Kingdom, is it just to lure us, the prince is a good plan."
We, are we?
Xu Bai touched his chin.
According to this meaning, it seems that similar things are happening not only in this military camp, but also in the entire border military camp.
That would prove that his guess in the morning was correct, everything was done by King Shengyou to pull out the nail.
Why should the nail be pulled out now? Xu Bai guessed that there must be more important things.
At the scene, the general showed a dismal expression after knowing that his identity had been exposed.
No one answered what he said, and now there is no way out.
Wang Zhou sighed, and said: "You are also an old man who follows the prince. I really didn't expect it to be you. What interests can make you betray?"
Hearing this, the general smiled bitterly and said: "In addition to benefits, there are other things in this world. The dark building has paid so much and sent me in. There must be a place to control me. The prince is indeed very good to me. It's a pity." , after all, it’s not a journey.”
While the general was speaking, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The general's face turned blue-purple, which was a sign of poisoning.
They are all gangsters at the border, and they are all members of the military formation. Of course, he understands what it means to be surrounded by a group of soldiers. It is impossible to escape, and it is better to die as soon as possible.
"In this way...my family will not die, at least I died for the dark building."
The general fell to the ground in pain, scratching the soil with his hands, and his nails fell off from scratching. The poison was not pleasant.
Although he had pain on his face, there was regret in his eyes.
"My lord treats me well, but I have no other choice. If there is an afterlife, I won't have so many burdens. I only want to kill two more enemies for my lord."
The eyes of the generals and others gradually dimmed, their bluish-purple faces gradually became stiff, and soon there was no breath of life.
Wang Zhou looked at this scene coldly, and said, "Take it away."
Several soldiers came over and took the body away, and soon, the group disappeared in place.
Xu Bai never showed up, watching this scene silently.
After the crowd disappeared, he turned and returned to the barracks.
However, he did not return to his camp, but went to the place where King Shengyou lived.
These things need to be understood, and Xu Bai also wants to know what the purpose is.
It is impossible to say that King Shengyou did not know that there was a nail around him.
But if you don’t pull it out early, you don’t pull it out later, but it’s pulled out at this time, something must have happened.
Xu Bai is very curious, especially about some secrets, his curiosity is even heavier.
He thought about coming over and asking, if King Shengyou didn't say anything, then forget it.
The closer he got to King Shengyou's tent, the faster Xu Bai walked, and no one stopped him, after all, his identity was kept here.
Not to mention, sometimes the identity of Prince Xu is very useful, for example, when it comes to Buddhism, a token is enough to deter those monks.
King Shengyou's camp was still lit with oil lamps, but when Xu Bai approached, he stopped suddenly, and then his face revealed a look of joy.
He felt that there was another person in King Shengyou's camp, and he was an old acquaintance, someone he wanted to meet.
Outside the camp, there were soldiers guarding from a long distance away. They did not stop Xu Bai. After Xu Bai arrived, before he could speak, a voice came.
"Come in, I knew you could see."
This is the voice of King Shengyou, full of confidence, as if he is not curious about Xu Bai's arrival.
Xu Bai smiled, pushed open the curtain of the tent, and strode in.
Besides King Shengyou, there was another person sitting beside him, looking at Xu Bai with a smile on his face.
Xu Bai met this person's gaze, then cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Eunuch Wei."
The person who came was none other than Eunuch Wei.
When Eunuch Wei saw Xu Bai, there was a smile on his face. Although it looked very scary, in Xu Bai's eyes, this kind of horror disappeared, and there was a sense of intimacy instead.
After being around for so long, he can also see a lot of people's hearts. He knows that Eunuch Wei is very sincere to him.
Eunuch Wei quickly put away his smile and stood up, but his tone was reprimanded: "Nonsense, as a king with a different surname, how can you salute me, a eunuch?"
As the most disciplined person, even if King Shengyou broke the rules, Eunuch Wei dared to reprimand loudly, even His Majesty the Emperor.
The most important thing is, if you want to say who is the most loyal in the entire Great Chu Kingdom, there is no one more loyal than Eunuch Wei.
At the beginning, because of the Great Chu Kingdom, he lost his most precious thing, and because of his physical disability, he was even unwilling to accept a position equivalent to the prime minister, and he became the head of the **** willingly.
This state of mind, to be honest, even if he is as cunning as Xu Bai, he still admires him from the bottom of his heart.
At least he couldn't.
What's more, although the age difference between the two is huge, they have become close friends, especially when they work in the palace, they really get along well.
So at the moment Eunuch Wei reprimanded him, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Xu Baidao: "I won't be able to change my identity in a while, let alone in front of Eunuch Wei, it's better to drink two jars of wine instead of talking about etiquette."
Eunuch Wei smiled brighter when he heard the words, and the creases on his face were squeezed together.
In the palace, the two of them often drank together.
"It's a pity, our family didn't bring fine wine when we came this time, but we brought a gift for Mr. Xu." Eunuch Wei handed over the books in his hand.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and after receiving it, he realized that there was a golden progress bar on it.
This progress bar is very slow, even slower than the progress bar he saw on Wuhua.
After a little comparison, Xu Bai knew that this thing was definitely of an extraordinary level.
There are a few words in the book—Ghost Saber Three Styles.
"Sword manual? For me?" Xu Bai asked.
Eunuch Wei nodded: "Supernatural sixth-grade master, sword ghost's unique skills, our family finally wanted to come here, and this time I just came here as a gift."
Beside , King Shengyou's mouth twitched.
"Honestly speaking, is Xu Bai your illegitimate son? I know the temper of that sword ghost, but you actually took all this stuff for Xu Bai."
To be honest, King Shengyou has never seen Eunuch Wei treat others so well, so he made this move.
"Nonsense, as a prince, how can you be so disrespectful?" Eunuch Wei turned his head and didn't show any face to King Shengyou: "The stronger Prince Xu is, the better he will be for the Great Chu Kingdom. Sword Ghost was my defeated opponent that day." , he was more than happy to give it to me."
Yes, it means that if you don't give it, you will take off the head of the sword ghost.
King Shengyou was so reprimanded by Eunuch Wei, he couldn't help rubbing his head with a headache.
Eunuch Wei dared to say that about him. Even if the prime minister was here, if he was mentioned, he would dare to raise a knife and cut him.
But Eunuch Wei can’t do it, Eunuch Wei’s character is fine, he is really for the sake of the Great Chu Kingdom, what reason do you have to be cut off when you are promoted to King You?
Xu Bai ignored the bickering between the two, and said thoughtfully: "This gift seems a bit heavy."
A master of the sixth rank of extraordinary, after all, is also an extraordinary skill, right?
He really lacks an attack method now. After all, his defense power has been greatly improved after having the indestructible demon soul Buddha body, and now he lacks to increase his attack power.
Now that he is really sleepy and comes to the pillow, Xu Bai even looks forward to it, not knowing what this skill can be integrated into.
Eunuch Wei shook his head and said: "This is a gift from our family, it's just a personal gift, it's not heavy at all, and you don't need a gift in return."
With these words, Xu Bai didn't hesitate anymore, and happily put the Ghost Saber Three Styles into the hands of the first-rank puppet.
There is a progress bar, if you don’t take it for nothing, let alone it has been explained clearly, and it is normal to put it away.
After Xu Bai put it away, Eunuch Wei turned his head seriously and looked at King Shengyou.
"My lord, although our family can't decide what is going on here, and it's not our family's responsibility, but I still want to say a word, this time it's a bit risky."
Eunuch Wei's words were serious, not harsh, but just a wake-up call.
"Nails can be pulled out slowly. The military order is like a mountain, but the prince uses this method to pull out the nails. It's okay once, don't do it a second time, otherwise it is very likely to lose faith."
Xu Bai was listening, but did not speak.
All that Eunuch Wei said just now makes sense.
For example, the princes of Fenghuo Opera in ancient times have the same effect as this time.
Of course, Eunuch Wei's words were exaggerated a bit, in order to make King Shengyou remember.
Xu Bai also understood what King Shengyou meant by doing this.
Think about it carefully, notify all the troops in advance that they will attack the Dayue Kingdom tomorrow, then, once the nails in the army hear the news, they will definitely pass the news on as soon as possible.
Take another step to wait for the rabbit, and it is easy to make those nails show their original shape.
King Shengyou shook his head and said: "This king also wants to remove them slowly, but there is no time for me to slowly remove these nails. We must remove them as much as possible, and as soon as possible."
After these words fell, Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Time doesn't wait for me?
These four words are exported, indicating that something is going to happen, and it is still a big event, and it is a secret, otherwise it would be impossible to pull out the nails in the army so quickly.
Eunuch Wei reacted quickly, waving gently to the surroundings.
A strand of gray silk emerged from his body, and soon spread all around him.
Xu Bai saw it in his eyes and felt a huge pressure coming.
"This Eunuch Wei's strength is really unpredictable. He is worthy of being an extraordinary and invincible hand, even a saint can fight."
Thinking in his mind, Xu Bai didn't think about anything else, but kept his eyes on King Shengyou.
Eunuch Wei put his hands on his lower abdomen and said, "My lord, in your army, coupled with our methods, you can rest assured that no one will know."
There is also Xu Bai here, but Eunuch Wei said that he can speak out with confidence, obviously he has regarded Xu Bai as one of his own.
King Shengyou also regarded Xu Bai as one of his own. After hearing the words, he showed a very solemn expression and said slowly: "The ruins."
After hearing these two simple words, Eunuch Wei and Xu Bai had different expressions.
Eunuch Wei was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly, with an uncertain expression on his face.
Obviously, Eunuch Wei knows what the ruins are, and these two words seem to be very important, important enough to make Eunuch Wei's expression lose control.
Xu Bai's face was full of bewilderment, he looked left and right, with an expression that had never seen the world.
He can't be blamed for this, after all, he hasn't been in this circle for too long, and from some angles, he's still a newcomer.
"Cough cough." Xu Bai pretended to cough to attract the attention of the two, and then said: "Both, if possible, can you explain to me what the ruins are?"
