Of course it was not because they were afraid of Wang Yue's momentum, but because they both recognized that the person at the front of the team was Ye Cheng!
That night, Ye Cheng held a banquet in Pengcheng to celebrate the victory.
After three drinks, Ye Cheng suddenly thought of something.
Even if the plan is cracked, "But why does love behave like this?"
On the surface, this plan is perfect, but if there is another premise, An Qing knows how powerful Ye Cheng is.
There is a big problem with this plan. He knows that none of the five routes is his opponent, but he still does it?
This is so strange.
"Wang Yue, please immediately send someone to contact Prime Minister Dong in the capital and ask him to report on the current situation in the capital of the puppet Zhou Dynasty."
Three days later, the carrier pigeon brought back Dong Chong's reply.
An Qing actually held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the so-called "great victory" and was quite happy in her words. The banquet had been held for five consecutive days!
Logically speaking, the news of the defeat of the Five Route Army should have been sent back a long time ago, but how could An Qing react like this?
There is a problem, there is a big problem!
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng decided to go to the capital to find out for himself what was going on. "Wang Yue, Zhao Yu, you two guard Pengcheng. I will go back as soon as I am the general."
Dazhou, in the imperial palace of the capital.
In the splendid hall, singing and dancing were performed, and the melodious sounds could be heard endlessly.
An Qing was wearing a dragon robe, sitting high on the throne, with a sickly flush on her face, and was enjoying the singing and dancing below with great interest.
Your Highness, Xiao Tian is wearing a broken armor, and his face is full of defeat and exhaustion, which is incompatible with this luxurious scene.
He had just escaped from Wuzhou and was summoned to the palace.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Tian's voice was hoarse, he knelt on the ground, and said slowly, "I... I am incompetent, our army was defeated in Hefei, Shenlongwei commander Zhang Yang... died in the battle, and all the monks in Longhu Mountain were wiped out."
However, the rage Xiao Tian expected did not come.
An Qing just waved her hand to stop the singing and dancing, and then said lightly, "I already know."
Got it?
That’s it?
Xiao Tian suddenly raised his head and looked at An Qing in disbelief.
Those are hundreds of top monks! In exchange for a light "I know"?
An Qing looked at Xiao Tian's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and a cruel and strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao Aiqing, do you think I care about the life and death of those people?"
She slowly stood up from the dragon chair and opened her arms, as if she was embracing the whole world.
"They died well! The more they die, the better!"
"Their blood, their resentment, their cultivation... are all sacrifices to "that one"!"
"Do you feel it? Xiao Aiqing?"
An Qing's voice was full of excitement, "The seal of the Demon Locking Tower is about to be broken! As long as 'that' Demon Emperor comes to rule the world, just a mere leaf city will be wiped out in a snap!"
"At that time, the whole world will crawl at my feet! Hahahahaha!"
Crazy laughter echoed in the empty hall, making people shudder.
Xiao Tian felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the sky, and the blood all over his body was about to solidify.
Crazy!
This woman is completely crazy!
She actually wanted to release the Demon Emperor in the Demon Locking Tower!
"Your Majesty! My master said that the demon emperor does not recognize his relatives and does not distinguish between friends and foes. Once he breaks out of the seal, all living beings in the three realms and six realms will be devastated."
"You, do you want to think about it again."
An Qing sneered, "Your master is lying to you. I have been in contact with him these days, and his temper is extremely good."
"Even if he really doesn't recognize his relatives, I still have many ways to control him."
At this moment, Xiao Tian stood up from the ground in despair, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him.
The last bit of loyalty and illusion in his heart was completely shattered.
He knew that the Great Week was over.
This world is almost over.
He staggered out of the hall, feeling as if he was dead.
He wanted to escape.
But the world is so big, where can we escape?
He suddenly remembered those subordinates who were abandoned by him without hesitation at the gate of Hefei City.
I thought of those cronies who had always been loyal to him and were still waiting for him to return in the military camp.
An inexplicable sadness and determination surged into his heart.
That’s all.
"I, Xiao Tian, even if I die, I will die like a general!"
After making up his mind, Xiao Tian secretly summoned several of his favorite generals, Qin Lie, Zhou Shen, Lu Chen, and Wang Zhong.
"You... all go."
Xiao Tian pushed several documents stamped with the general's seal and a box of gold and silver in front of them.
"Leave the capital, you can go anywhere, just go and make a living on your own."
Zhou Shen, Lu Chen, Wang Zhong and Qin Lie, who had just returned from Yuzhou, all looked at Xiao Tian in confusion.
"Boss, why did you say that?"
Xiao Tian sighed, "Your Majesty has gone crazy. She is going to release the Demon Emperor from the Demon Locking Tower. By then, staying in Dazhou will be a dead end."
"I am deeply bound to An Qing, and there is no way to escape now, but you are different. , you all still have a way out. "
"So, you go, go as far as possible, it is best to go to Dayan. If there is one person who can resist the Demon Emperor...
That person must be Ye Cheng."
A dozen stern men suddenly had red eyes when they heard this.
Soon, Zhou Shen was the first to speak, "Boss, I won't leave."
"Let's not talk about it first. We have offended Yecheng to death. He will not accept us. Secondly, a scholar will die for his confidant. Now that you are in great trouble, how can we abandon you? ? Everyone said, right? ”
After saying this, Qin Lie knelt down with a plop, “Wherever you want to go, we will follow you! If we die, we will die together!”
“Yes! We will follow the general to the death!”
Xiao Tian looked at them with tears in his eyes, and the last softness in his heart was touched.
He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and then a trace of crazy determination flashed in his eyes.
In this case, let's take a gamble and finally do something for An Qing.
After finishing it, he felt free from guilt!
"Come here, bring me a pen and ink."
Soon, a rigorously worded and fiercely challenging letter of challenge was written.
"The Great General of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent a personal message to Ye Cheng, Duke Anguo of the Great Yan Dynasty:
You and I have been fighting for a long time, and we all use immortal magic and magical powers to determine the outcome, not the power of war.
Today is in great chaos, all life is in ruins, Xiao is not talented, and I am willing to engage in a gentleman's battle with you.< br/>
You and I will each lead three armies in the wilderness of the Central Plains, set up battle formations, and fight.
This battle will not involve magic, nor will we use magic soldiers. It will only focus on military strategy and the bravery of our soldiers!
If I are defeated, I, Xiao Tian, will kill myself in front of the formation, and my soldiers will do whatever they want.
If you are defeated...please retreat and submit to my lord An Qing.
Yours sincerely, Xiao Tian, General of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "
After writing, he handed the letter to the messenger and said solemnly: "Send this letter to Ye Cheng."
