Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 701 Confirming the Whereabouts of Qilian City

Yan Shan and Wang Xinyu were accidentally injured. When they finished their busy work and filled their stomachs, it was almost midnight after Shen Shi. Yan Shan was already in a coma. In addition, he was given general anesthesia after the operation, and he couldn't wake up for a while. They vacated a relatively clean room in the military hospital, and after the meal, apart from Tie Wazi and Yan Shangqing who had to teach the teenagers of the Young Eagles to read and write, everyone else gathered here.

"Tell me what's going on."

After filling his stomach, Ling Jingxuan became more energetic. He found a chair and sat down, and immediately cut to the point. Wang Xinyu, who had already asked them to bandage the wound and changed into clean clothes, looked up at them and then blamed himself He lowered his head: "After we sneaked into Tianmenguan that day, it took us a lot of effort to sneak into Zhou Sheng's side. After a period of dormancy, we have almost figured out Zhou Sheng's habits. We did it late last night. Commander Shan was in charge of the assassination, and I was in charge of releasing the wind. Everything was going well at first, and Commander Shan also succeeded in seriously injuring Zhou Sheng. Just as we were retreating according to the route we had planned long ago, a group of soldiers with high martial arts skills suddenly appeared. The martial arts methods of the soldiers are vicious and weird. Commander Shan said that they might be the shadow guards of the royal family. Later, we used the poison given by the master to get rid of them. At that time, Commander Shan had already fallen into a coma, and I dared not delay any longer. After leaving Tianmen Pass, I contacted Commander Yi’s people, and with their help, I came back safely.”

At first they didn't use poison because they didn't want to reveal their identities, but later they didn't care so much. Not only were those people powerful and weird in martial arts, but they also chased them after them, obviously trying to catch them alive. There is no possibility of them escaping without poisoning, it is all because he is too weak, if he is stronger, maybe this kind of accident will not happen.

"Team Thunder doesn't have a single weakling, Xinyu, don't let me see your self-blame expression again."

Instead of pursuing any responsibility, Ling Jingxuan reprimanded him sternly. The incident happened suddenly, and the enemy's martial arts were more powerful than others. Then he asked: "Those people are all dressed as soldiers?"

Wang Xinyu, who was struggling, nodded when he heard the words: "Well, they are all dressed up as little soldiers."

"A group of small soldiers have strange martial arts skills. Jingxuan, we should be thinking the same thing, right?"

Yan Shengrui's eyes were dark, and he looked at his wife meaningfully, then Ling Jingxuan thought for a while before he recovered and said: "Well, what Yan Shan said should be right, they are all royal shadow guards, no wonder Yan Yi's People have been unable to find a trace of Qilian City. It turned out that he was hiding in the Eastern Army. Maybe even Zhou Sheng didn't know about it. The so-called dark under the lights is often the most obvious place that is the least likely to be found. The people of Yan Shan Xinyu, they are also shadow guards, they know the habits of shadow guards best, but they should have discovered Yan Shan Xinyu by accident, otherwise they would not have waited for Yan Shan and the others to successfully assassinate Zhou Sheng before chasing and intercepting them."

In this way, things all make sense. If they hadn't disrupted the situation, Yan Shan could have returned safely. The Royal Shadow Guard is a tricky organization. The only good thing is that they have confirmed that Qilian City has come The border is closed.

"Then Zhou Sheng died?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Jingxuan suddenly asked again.

"It should be dead. We assassinated Zhou Sheng while he was bathing alone. We were afraid that his shadow guards would notice afterwards, so we evacuated without checking."

The mission assigned to them by the master was to seriously injure Zhou Sheng. They didn't necessarily have to put him to death, so they weren't that careful. Anyway, Zhou Sheng would have to lie on the bed for a long time even if he didn't die. Their mission has been completed. There is no need for extravagance.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you die or not. In this case, Qi Liancheng has to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. At least our goal of assassinating Zhou Sheng has been achieved."

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan didn't continue to ask any more questions, Wang Xinyu looked at him hesitantly and said: "Master, we still used the poison you gave us in the end, will they know it's us?"

Team Thunder has always been his personal bodyguard. Each of them knows that the master doesn't want to start a conflict with Dongguo for the time being. If he doesn't deal with the northern barbarians first, he rashly ignites a war with Dongguo. At that time, they may face the enemy. up.

"Hehe—there are too many people who know how to use poison. Even if Qilian City guesses that it is us, it will not easily mobilize troops. At least until Xiguo's attitude is clear, he is the same as us. He dare not launch a full-scale attack rashly. War, at most, is to let the northern barbarians continue to come to die."

In contrast, Ling Jingxuan was not worried at all. If Qilian City was really ambitious and dared to send troops directly, at worst it would be a fight. As for the northern barbarians, it is impossible for a war to pile up millions of soldiers on the battlefield. It may be difficult to torture the northern barbarians, but it is basically not a problem to guard against them. As long as they don't counterattack like crazy, he has a lot of ways to stop them. After all, they just wiped out the Longxie King [-] not long ago. Elite, the northern barbarian will have some shadows in his heart.

Hearing this, Wang Xinyu was finally relieved. Zeng Shaoqing, who had never said a word, looked straight at Ling Jingxuan and Yan Chengrui, and after a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Are you planning something?"

It wasn't that he was supercilious, their attitude was too calm. After retaking Buming City, according to the usual rules, shouldn't they send troops to attack the Northern Man immediately?But now it's the end of February and almost March, and they still haven't taken any action. Now that Qilian City is coming, they are still indifferent, as if they are waiting for something. Based on what he knows about them, everything is too abnormal.

"What can I plan? I'm just waiting for a suitable opportunity."

Knowing what he was thinking, Ling Jingxuan pursed his lips and leaned against the back of the chair. A long time ago, they had learned that King Khan of the Northern Man and King Longxie had a disagreement. After occupying Buming City, they began to plan. The enemy's internal conflicts, it seems that they are too sorry for themselves if they don't take advantage of them. To wipe out the 100 army of Longxie King, Beiman Khan will definitely find fault. Longxie King is obviously the kind A man who is easily pushed back, they can attack as soon as the exact news arrives, and this time, he is [-]% sure of winning.

"Could you be talking about the internal conflicts in the northern barbarians?"

Zeng Shaoqing is not stupid, basically he can tell that if this kind of thing is changed to Eastern or Western countries, they may have sent people to provoke them to escalate their conflicts, but the Northern Man can't do it. The thousands of miles of desert and grassland are theirs. As a natural barrier, their people were probably wiped out by the northern barbarian troops before they even got close to Longcheng, so they never took this matter to heart.

"Well, the result is almost here."

Ling Jingxuan did not deny it, and glanced at Yan Yi meaningfully. The latter moved his body unnaturally, and he also wanted to receive the news quickly, but Beiman is no different from the East and West, and the speed of news delivery is the same as that of a turtle running. It's really not that he's bad at things.

"Then what are you going to do with the matter of Qilian City in the Eastern Kingdom? No matter whether Zhou Sheng lives or dies, Qilian City will not let it go. How are you going to deal with what he may do next?"

Knowing that he is not willing to explain the matter of Beiman for the time being, Chu Yunhan asked coldly, after all, Dongguo is the most troublesome.

"How else can I deal with it? Just fight when it's time to fight. I just want to try the new equipment, although I haven't finished all of it yet."

Standing up and stretching, Ling Jingxuan said while exercising his muscles and bones. He has never seen the gate of Tianmenguan, but he knows that the country's first line of defense is relatively strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To minimize sacrifices, he specially created brand-new weapons and equipment for the blacksmith team that forges weapons and ammunition for the Thunderbolt team. Of course, they are not hot weapons. Hot weapons will not be flooded in this era.

"New equipment? When? Why don't we know?"

Zeng Shaoqing, Yan Xiaohua and others all expressed their surprise. This was the first time they heard about it. Ling Jingxuan smiled mysteriously: "You will see it with your own eyes soon. It's not high-level equipment, but it's good for attacking cities. It can reduce sacrifices, if Dongguo really takes the lead in launching a war, then we can only try new equipment first."

He couldn't guess exactly what Qilian City would do. From the overall situation, Qilian City should not launch an all-out war at this time. After all, the West Kingdom is still watching, and their combat power is much stronger than that of Beiman. But from a personal point of view, Qi Liancheng's physical condition should not allow him to waste any more time, and he should make some moves next.

"Daddy, let us fight this time too?"

He doesn't care whether he is fighting the Eastern Kingdom or the Northern Man, as long as there is a battle to fight.

"Ask me why? Go find your father. If he agrees to your expedition, I have no objection."

Glancing at his precious son angrily, Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly. After the little bun came to the border, he seemed to be more and more like a young general. He was fighting for war anytime, anywhere. Is it so fun to fight?

"Father King"

"The Young Eagles have only been training for a few days? Do you want to kill them?"

As soon as Xiao Baozi turned his gaze, Yan Shengrui stared back fiercely. He and Xiao Huzi have practiced martial arts all year round. Even though they are young, it is not difficult to save their lives on the battlefield. An ordinary boy, he admitted that Team Thunderclap's training is very special. In the past two months, the Young Eagles have undergone earth-shaking changes both as a whole and individually, but it is obviously not qualified to be pulled into the battlefield.

Whether it's Jing Xuan, Xiao Qi, or himself, they are all full of expectations for the Young Eagles, hoping that one day they can soar into the sky. Before that, he doesn't want them all to die prematurely by accident.

"Daddy"

Not daring to give back to his father, Ling Wu resorted to his usual coquettish tactics, leaning on his father pitifully, looking around the world, the only person who can make his father change his mind is his father.

"It's useless to act like a baby. Sheng Rui is doing it for your own good. If you really want to lead the Young Eagles to fight against the enemy, then train them as hard as you can. When Sheng Rui and I feel that you are qualified, we will naturally let you go to the battle." .”

Poking his head, Ling Jingxuan joked with seriousness, they would promote others, let alone his own son?In fact, he has arrangements for the Young Eagles, but he can't let them know for the time being. Overprotection will only harm them. To let them grow rapidly, the battlefield where people are often killed is undoubtedly the best environment.

"Okay, okay, I'll just continue to practice hard, but Dad, you must promise me that you will send us out to practice some time later when you have the opportunity."

After being his son for so many years, Xiao Baozi still knows his temper very well. Since he has said so, it must be out of play. If he acts like a spoiled child, it will backfire.

"Hehe... Yan Shan is about to wake up, let's go and see him."

Too lazy to pay attention to this son who was full of thoughts about going to battle and killing the enemy, Ling Jingxuan looked at Yan Shengrui, nodded with the others, and the group left the room one after another and headed towards Yan Shan's ward. Ling Wen, who was walking at the end, patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Don't worry, don't you know about Dad's temper? He always advocates practical training, and it's impossible for you to keep practicing hard."

"Well, I know, brother, what do you think daddy is thinking?" Xiao Baozi nodded and asked curiously.

"Daddy's thinking is often irregular, and I can't guess it, but I know that no matter what decision he makes, he will definitely start from our safety, and that's enough."

"That's right."

The two brothers who looked exactly the same looked at each other and smiled, one after the other, they left the house and chased after them. They didn't need to know anything else, as long as they knew that they would always be daddy and baby son.
