Chapter 145 How about you postpone the rebellion for eighty years?
"This chivalrous man recognizes Yuan?"
Seeing Zhou Ji's strange expression, Yuan Dingqi was a little puzzled.
"I don't know, I'm just curious how you, a centurion of the Imperial Army of the Wude Camp, fought against bandits in the middle of the night." Zhou Ji said casually without explaining too much.
During the Northern Expedition of the Wu Dynasty, it was an open secret that various places in the south of the Yangtze River provided food and supplies to Wudu, and there was nothing to hide.
"To be honest, we just returned to the camp from the ferry after escorting a batch of supplies, but we didn't want to be ambushed by thieves in the forest. If it weren't for the help of the knights, I'm afraid we would be in trouble today." Yuan Dingqi hesitated and said explained.
Liu Xigua was watching the conversation between the two with tense nerves all the time. This young man who appeared suddenly did not know his background. In addition, there are nearly twenty brothers in Badaoying who have fallen into the opponent's hands. Thinking of this, even she, who has always been daring to fight, is in a dilemma.
Based on Chen Fan’s character, Ba Daoying has not returned for a long time, maybe he will bring people to meet him, I just hope that this simple man can bring more people, and don’t run over to find her by himself.
While speaking, Zhou Ji was slightly taken aback, glanced thoughtfully into the depths of the dense forest, and said with a smile, "How dare these bandits intercept and kill the officers and soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, General Yuan might as well tie them up and take them back. Interrogate him strictly, maybe you can find out something."
Yuan Dingqi nodded approvingly. He recognized from the first fight that the leader of this group was Xu Fang, who was wanted by the imperial court for a long time, but their leader Liu Dabiao had not shown up for a long time.
It is rumored that this person has a rough personality, full of beards, and is often proud of his hairy chest. It stands to reason that he should also participate in this interception.
But Yuan Dingqi didn't see anyone who matched his image among the group of people who stayed still.
Calling everyone to tie up these thieves, Yuan Dingqi looked at Liu Xigua, who was still confronting them ten steps away, and was about to say something when he heard a swish, and a black light flew from the depths of the dense forest. Already injured, he was unable to move for a while, and before he could react, he saw a black and shiny arrow clamped in front of him by **** stretched together.
"It seems that this group of thieves still have reinforcements?" Zhou Ji looked at the forest and said cautiously, "The night is dark and the forest is dense, and there are not a few reinforcements. General Yuan, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You take the people and leave first, and I will cut off the rear for you."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Yuan Dingqi said angrily, "Benefactor saved my life twice, how can I just sit back and watch benefactor fall into danger?"
"It will be a burden for you to stay." Zhou Ji could see the sincerity in Yuan Dingqi's eyes, curled his lips and said, "I can escape at any time with my skills, and you will only hinder me."
At present, everyone in the Wude camp has lost their combat power.
Although helpless, but the fact is true.
Yuan Dingqi is not a delicate and artificial temperament. After thanking Zhou Ji three times, he withdrew from the forest with the rest of his men.
Watching Yuan Dingqi and others leave, at the same time their figures disappeared in the forest, a black shadow flashed out from behind a nearby tree. Chen Fan raised his knife and slashed straight ahead. Watermelon also made a move at the same time, as if predicting his movements. During the leap forward a few steps, the horizontal knife gathered momentum, and his waist turned slightly.
However, Zhou Ji had already noticed Chen Fan's position, and had already guessed that the two of them would look for an opportunity to sneak attack, so the moment Chen Fan made a move, he was already pacing sideways, and before Chen Fan's knife fell, he had already flicked on the ground. on the back of his sword.
For a moment, Chen Fan's saber stagnated, and he felt a huge force rippling from the blade towards his arms, and he staggered two steps to the side. When he looked back, he saw that Liu Xigua's blade had been inserted obliquely into the soil, as clean as a mirror. On the edge of the knife, you can still vaguely see a shoe print stained with mud.
"Watermelon, are you alright, watermelon!" Chen Fan looked at the shocked Liu Xigua, shook his tingling arms and hurried over, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
"I'm fine." Liu Xigua shook his head and said blankly.
At this time, she was still a little absent-minded.
She saw it most clearly when they were fighting just now. With just a flick of the back of his finger, Chen Fan's full-strength move was easily deciphered, and when her own saber was at its normal level, it was caught by the opponent's toes. Stepping on the back of the knife, the whole person floated up the treetops like a ghost, and disappeared into the night.
You know, even Sheng Gong couldn't break her and Chen Fan's combined attack so lightly, let alone a sneak attack!
Looking back at Chen Fan in a daze, Liu Xigua looked behind him and asked in confusion, "Where are the others? Why are you alone?"
Chen Fan didn't understand why Liu Xigua asked such a question, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "I haven't seen you back for a long time, I thought something might have happened here, so I hurried over. I left in a hurry, I didn't have time to call someone."
"No, didn't that person say that you brought a lot of people?" Liu Xigua paused when he said this.
Reminiscent of the other party's actions before and after, he suddenly said, "He did it on purpose!"
"What's on purpose?" Chen Fan looked at Liu Xigua in bewilderment. When did this big biao become a riddler?
"Let me go on purpose."
Liu Xigua has never read any books, but his mind is still very bright.
Although she doesn't know what Zhou Ji's fundamental intention is, she has a vague feeling that the other party must want to use her to find Sheng Gong, which will be bad for him!
"Chen Fan! Hurry up! Come with me to see Shenggong! That person just now is trying to harm him!"
It was about Shenggong, Chen Fan didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took Liu Xigua back to Baimang Mountain dozens of miles away, and entered the camp after passing through several secret sentries.
Fang Tianlei is still discussing with his wife Shao Xianying about the plan to attack Lin'an City. Over the past few days, through the identities of vegetable farmers, merchants, bodyguards, etc., he has infiltrated more than a hundred people in the city. As long as these people are used properly, they can take the city in the middle of the night. He joined forces with the army outside the city, and took down the entire Lin'an.
The Northern Expedition is related to the national destiny of the Wu Dynasty. These days, the entire military force of the Wu Dynasty has gathered to go north. At this juncture, Lin'an is captured, and the gunpowder in the city is used for self-respect. The Wu Dynasty will miss the only chance to severely damage the Yasukuni by taking back Lin'an; But if he insisted on the Northern Expedition, then he would be able to take root in Lin'an, and then expand his surroundings. When the Northern Expedition ended, no matter whether it was a disastrous victory or a major defeat in the war between Wu Dynasty and Jingguo, his stable position in Lin'an would no longer be shaken.
Knowing that Liu Xigua and Chen Fan asked to see him together, Fang Tianlei was a little surprised at first.
But after hearing what the two of them said, his and Shao Xianying's expressions turned gloomy.
"Watermelon, you are confused!" Fang Tianlei frowned slightly, and sighed, "If this person's martial arts are unfathomable, then he let you go, obviously to play hard to get, and take the opportunity to follow you to find the direction of the camp."
"The failure of this mission has caused such trouble to the Holy Duke, and please punish the Holy Duke!" Liu Xigua knelt on one knee, with a face full of guilt.
Fang Tianlei looked at Liu Xigua who was kneeling under the hall with a complicated expression, and after a long silence, he gave Shao Xianying a look.
"is that so?"
After Shao Xianying finished speaking, a stranger's voice suddenly came from inside the camp, and everyone realized that at some point, a young man in a short robe of a warrior was standing in front of the map of Lin'an on the wall, with his back facing them.
"Come!"
Chen Fan subconsciously wanted to shout, but Fang Tianlei grabbed him and looked out. The two guards guarding the door remained motionless, like two wooden men.
"Your Excellency is the mysterious person in the mouth of the watermelon, right?" Fang Tianlei sneered, raised his eyes and said, "Hide your head and show your tail! Dare to report your name?"
When Zhou Ji turned around, Fang Tianlei and Shao Xianying noticed that the young man in front of him was young, only in his early twenties, and handsome. Although there was a faint smile on his face, his eyes were as deep as an abyss. But there was a kind of indifference alienated from the world in his eyes.
Yaoyao pointed out that the mana of Lei Daozhengfa was pointed out by punching acupuncture points in the air. Although Shao Xianying, Liu Xigua and Chen Fan wanted to dodge, they were still restrained by the mana, and they froze in place almost at the same time.
At this moment, even if the acupuncture point was not tapped, Fang Tianlei was still stunned in shock.
Although he used the name of "Holy Duke" to gather believers to revolt, but he himself sneered at these ghosts and gods.
But when the three people next to him were all frozen in place and unable to move, he was somewhat unable to explain what was happening in front of him based on his experience.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt their lives for the time being." Zhou Ji looked at Fang Tianlei's extremely fearful expression, smiled indifferently, tapped his toes, and fully exerted his lightness kung fu, appearing in front of Fang Tianlei like a phantom.
"As for my name, I'll tell you after we finish talking."
Zhou Ji never said any threatening words from the beginning to the end, but his every move was already an invisible threat to Fang Tianlei.
"Your Excellency spent so much effort to come to me, just want to talk to me?" Fang Tianlei sneered at this.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and said with a light smile, "I heard that you want to attack Lin'an? Take advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Wu Dynasty to rebel?"
Fang Tianlei didn't expect Zhou Ji to ask so straightforwardly.
"Not bad!" Fang Tianlei's eyes were fixed, he took a deep look at Zhou Ji, and said without concealing it.
Whether it’s the many thieves gathered in the forest or the map of Lin’an hanging on the wall, Fang Tianlei can’t hide it even if he wants to.
Zhou Ji smiled lightly, and said in a discussing tone: "Can you start the incident in another place?"
Fang Tianlei was taken aback after hearing this, what does this mean? What does it mean to change places to start an incident?
"Where to change?" Fang Tianlei glanced at the three people who were restrained by mana, and said in a deep voice.
"The river is 800 miles north, it doesn't matter where you want to go." Zhou Ji poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fang Tianlei.
The river is eight hundred miles north? That is already the territory of Yasukuni.
"You are going to drive us to Yasukuni!" Fang Tianlei sneered and said coldly.
"This is already the best option. If you still can't accept it, there are only two options left." Although Zhou Ji has been in the world for many years, he has never been a high-ranking person. Shang said, "Then are you willing to postpone the incident for eighty years?"
With a limit of 100 years, Zhou Ji has decided to accompany Su Tan'er through this life, so naturally he doesn't want to see the Wu Dynasty collapse and the Jiangnan land resume wars.
At least until he leaves, he will maintain the stability of the Wu Dynasty in his own way, even if this stability is just a fake on the surface.
Fang Tianlei looked at Zhou Ji coldly. He didn't ask what the third option was, and there was no need to ask.
In his opinion, the other party had wanted to kill him from the very beginning, and all he said was just to amuse himself.
Zhou Ji's tone was very serious, and his eyes were not fake, but the more so, the more ridicule and contempt Fang Tianlei felt.
"Fang Mou is not very satisfied with your three options, so Fang Mou chooses the fourth option." Fang Tianlei sneered, raised his hand and pushed it out, and pulled out the other hand from the waist of Chen Fan who was frozen. The long knife was thrown away to the other side.
"Your Excellency is extraordinary, but can you stop the tens of thousands of troops in the camp!"
Zhou Ji also pointed at Fang Tianlei's palm for the sword, and while he was swallowing his mana, Fang Tianlei only felt half of his body numb and weak. He half knelt in front of Zhou Ji, and the other knife he threw hit the lampstand in the room.
A dozen or so candles immediately fell on the curtain, and for a while, flames burst out everywhere, and thick smoke gushed out from the room.
"What a decisive character!"
When Fang Tianlei just made a move, Zhou Ji was still a little surprised why the other party drew his sword and threw it. He only understood when he heard the panicked footsteps coming from outside the house.
But even so, Zhou Ji did not intend to kill him now.
If Fang Tianlei died here at this time, the tens of thousands of troops gathered here would only be because he was assassinated, and the hearts of the people were confused, and maybe they would be used by those who wanted to push out Zhang Tianlei, Li Tianlei, and Wang Tianlei.
Zhou Ji never dared to underestimate the group formed by religion or race. Some of these thieves were close followers of Fang Tianlei from the very beginning, but most of them were believers gathered by Fang Tianlei under the name of "Tianlei Shenggong".
To solve these hidden dangers fundamentally, you only need to reproduce what happened in Wudu City.
Zhou Ji does not have the grand aspirations of Ye Qingmei, nor does he have the position to popularize the so-called 'science'.
After all, even myths such as Zhuxian Formation, Time Traveling, Longevity, and Leifa have been created, how can he explain to others that these are "scientific common sense"?
Hate trouble, and Zhou Ji, who has a salty personality, still thinks that it is the easiest and most convenient to solve superstition problems with the "superstition" method.
