Chapter 1647 Fisherman
Some of these leaves are stuck on the waists of the stone beasts, some on the heels, and some under the belly. Almost every stone beast has a different part covered by leaves.
"Aim at the leaves!" Qingyang reminded Bai Tan, "The core of the stone beast is hidden inside!"
A giant stone lion bit a palace guard to death, then turned and pounced on Qingyang, its fangs still stained with blood and flesh. Qingyang held a staff in one hand and conjured a jade whisk in the other, hurling it at the lion.
The whisk tail grew longer, turning into three thousand fine threads, which bound the giant lion's neck. Then Qingyang moved sideways two steps to avoid the giant lion's attack, and the whisk swept along -
The giant lion couldn't stop its legs and was thrown to the ground by her!
The force was used very skillfully this time, and others could not tell how much strength Qingyang used. They only knew that the throw was extremely powerful, like a giant lion pushing a golden mountain and overturning a jade pillar, causing the ground to tremble violently.
While the giant lion was still not getting up, Qingyang raised his stick and stabbed it into its waist.
Her whole body was filled with energy, and the tip of her staff pierced through the giant lion's hard body, just like a needle drilling through a crab shell, with a dull sound.
When she pulled out the stick, there was a white ball stuck on the tip of the stick.
One hit!
The giant lion also stopped moving.
King Yao was so furious that he soared to the top of his head. This old woman was using the power of Yao Kingdom to hit his stone beast guarding the temple!
But he had no solution at all.
The regent sent by Beijia was very special, he was appointed by the Demon Emperor and sealed by King Yao. King Yao could remove Bai Tan's position with a piece of official document, but he could not remove Qingyang's position as regent, so naturally he could not take away her Yuanli.
At best it weakens a little.
This is the significance of the regent. If the king can control the country whenever he wants, then what is the point of calling it the "regent" of the country?
So Qingyang can comfortably use the power of Yao Kingdom, kill Yao King's minister Gong Wei, and then try to pull him off the throne!
But Qingyang also noticed that white mist began to fill the Frost Fairy Palace since some time ago.
The fog seemed to have drifted from Yuquan Palace, and was blown here by the wind, becoming thicker and thicker. People in the fog felt cold all over, their joints were frozen, and their movements naturally became slower.
This fog came strangely. Qingyang had passed by Yuquan Palace countless times, but the fog there never blew into Shuangxian Palace, otherwise living people would not be able to live here.
In other words, the barrier of Yuquan Palace has been opened?
"Be on high alert." She ordered all the Qing guards, "Something is about to come out of Yuquan Palace."
……
Where was He Lingchuan when Tianshui City was in chaos both inside and outside?
He is in Youhu.
After using the Mountain Moving Formation to move out of Yongquan Villa, He Lingchuan flew north quickly and met up with Wanqi Feng, Wang Fubao, Aunt Zhu and others at Youhu Villa.
The villa project had been suspended for a long time, and the gatekeeper was taken away by the Qingwei. Now the construction site was empty, which was a perfect place for He Lingchuan to stay.
Another gust of cold wind whistled by, with a few ice crystals in the wind.
"It's snowing again." He stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake. It was so small and thin that it melted in his palm in an instant.
But he knew that the snow was destined to get heavier tonight.
Even bad weather is joining in the fun, which is great.
He was not in a hurry to leave. First, he was certain that the fight between Qingyang and Yao Wang was in full swing and they had no time to search for him. Second, he could not leave Tianshui City too far, otherwise he would be out of the range of the Eye Spider and he would not be able to receive real-time reports from Tianshui City.
After Dong Rui left, they lost their aerial surveillance force. But it didn't matter, He Lingchuan hired the bird demons that sent him letters several times before, namely a night owl, a hooded crane, and a blue bird.
The tasks of these bird monsters are very simple. They just need to carry the eyeball spider and hover above Tianshui City and the royal palace. The requirement is to slow down the speed and fly up and down.
This allows Aunt Zhu to receive information from the eyeball spider from multiple positions and angles.
At this time, the soul-catching mirror could not see anything, so he could only anxiously ask: "Are there any new developments? Who won between King Yao and Qingyang?"
"Qingyang is still calm, but Bai Tan's army is shaken, and some of his men are beginning to surrender. The stone beasts guarding the Frost Fairy Palace kill people very quickly. These things also have Yuanli, so the attackers don't have much of an advantage." Aunt Zhu made a sand nest for herself and lay down comfortably, while asking He Lingchuan, "Do you still think Qingyang will win?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan nodded. "Since the battle started, Qingyang has been holding back and has not tried his best."
The former Grand Master of Bega's abilities were more than that. This was not a matter of keeping one trick up her sleeve, she kept at least several tricks up her sleeve.
"That's right. This battle wasn't fierce, at least for her." As a master fighter, Aunt Zhu could see through it at a glance. "This overthrow depends on the word 'quick'. What is she waiting for?"
From ancient times to the present, which palace rebellion did not require a quick response? If the monarch was allowed to recover and reorganize his troops, the rebels would be trapped.
The outcome was horrible.
Qingyang had clearly planned it carefully beforehand, so why did he seem to be slacking off when it came to implementation?
Aunt Zhu didn't understand, and the mirror also asked, "Ah, why?"
"Didn't you realize that there is still one party that has not yet made a move in this battle for power?"
Aunt Zhu was puzzled: "Who?"
The mirror blurted out: "Temple?"
"This coup was planned by at least three parties. Qingyang and Baitan both died, but from the side of the gods, only the goddess Fenghe showed up and showed her spirit. She didn't provide any substantial support." He Lingchuan laughed, "It is obviously the most powerful force, but it has been hiding behind the scenes."
Aunt Zhu was surprised: "Qingyang doesn't want them to reap the fruits of their labor?"
"The Yao King is still quite capable, and he has some hidden cards that he hasn't revealed yet. Qingyang probably doesn't want to put in the effort herself." He Lingchuan's eyes were sharp. "If she puts in the effort to fight, there will be damage. If her strength is damaged, her say after the war will be small, and it will be easy for someone else to take advantage of her."
"The fisherman is a god?" Aunt Zhu laughed, "Why do I feel that you are the fisherman?"
Is it the gods hiding behind the scenes? It's clearly this guy who's secretly controlling it!
If he hadn't been able to change things at will, would Qingyang and King Yao have been able to fight in advance?
The mirror also exclaimed: "Oh, I remember now, you didn't mention the gods at all in the note you wrote to Qiu Long!"
The letter of denunciation that He Lingchuan left in the red jade box only said that Bai Tan and Qing Yang were plotting a rebellion, and deliberately omitted any mention of the gods.
He knew clearly that the root cause of this rebellion was the gods!
He Lingchuan shrugged: "I didn't lie to him, I just concealed part of the facts."
That is the most important fact.
He informed King Yao in the hope that King Yao would resist well and not let his opponent seize power easily;
He Lingchuan has been stirring up trouble in Yao Kingdom for so long, and he definitely doesn't want Qingyang and the gods to easily defeat King Yao and seize Yao Kingdom.
If the opponents were only Qingyang and Baitan, King Yao would still have the confidence to defeat them; but if he knew at that time that the gods were the mastermind, He Lingchuan could not estimate what effect this blow would have on him, would it make him more motivated, or would he feel deeply desperate and simply give up resistance?
Why not save this surprise until now?
So what Aunt Zhu said was right, he is the real fisherman!
……
The northern border of Yao Kingdom was also covered with snow.
Faced with the invasion of Luodian State, the Yao State’s northern garrison immediately fought back.
In the northern part of Yao State, there was a lot of fighting.
Here it is necessary to mention the terrain of the northern line of Yao State:
Guarding the pass, the terrain is narrow and there are two large camps, Mianying and Bailingyan, both with ready-made buildings and fortifications to station troops.
Yuwen Yong arrived in the northern border first, so he stayed in Mianying, right next to the border.
Because Xue Zongwu was investigating a case, General Chongwu was left in Tianshui City and arrived in the northern border ten days later than Xue Zongwu. Therefore, he led his troops to station in Bailingyan, about four miles away from the northern line.
From a geographical point of view, Yuwen Yong is in front and Zhongwu is behind, and the two teams should watch over each other and defend together.
But the problem is that Yuwen Yong has received orders from King Yao, suspecting Chongwu of rebellion. If Wang Sili has not arrived at the front line tonight, he will have to capture Chongwu directly.
But before he could do anything, the Luodian people invaded in large numbers!
Was this just a coincidence, or was it a coordinated effort from both sides?
In particular, the positions of the two armies are a bit awkward at first glance. Once Yuwen Yong launches a war to the north, will Chongwu stab him in the back and join forces with Luodian from inside and outside?
By then, Yuwen Yong's army would be like the piece of meat in the middle of the steamed bun, bitten from both ends.
Then there is only one way!
Yuwen Yong immediately sent someone to the Bailingyan camp to invite Chongwu to come to the Mianying military tent to discuss matters.
Since it was a battle on the front line, he had to come because he valued military power and reason. If he came, Yuwen Yong would immediately capture him and take over his army.
If he didn't come, Yuwen Yong would also ask him to go into the battlefield first, so that he could lead the army to hold the line from the rear and wouldn't have to be a sandwich - Chongwu only led the army for three months, and Yuwen Yong didn't believe that the entire army would be tamed and obedient by him.
However, before his plan could be put into practice, a piece of news came from the spies in the Chongwu camp, which was earth-shattering:
Just now, General Chongwu withdrew his troops!
Yuwen Yong immediately sent the bird demon to investigate. After several rounds of reconnaissance, he was sure that the camp and supplies were still there, but almost all the troops in the camp had left.
Very hasty, but very determined.
Where did the main force go? According to the spies, General Chongwu suddenly took out an urgent order, saying that the foreign merchant He Xiao had joined forces with the country's rebels to rebel, and Tianshui City was in danger, so the entire army turned south and returned to the capital to defend the king!
The urgent order displayed by General Chongwu had the handwriting of King Yao on it, and all the necessary official seals were present, and it was even stamped with the Qinghong seal. So the soldiers at the border all accepted it and immediately followed him back.
These words made Yuwen Yong stunned, and then he slammed the table in anger.
He knew without even looking at the urgent order from the capital and the handwritten letter from the King of Yao that it was a forgery! If a rebellion really broke out in the capital, the urgent order from the King of Yao would have reached him first. How could it be possible that Chongwu received it first?
General Chongwu only needed an excuse to transfer troops back to the capital.
Yuwen Yong received a signal clearly and unmistakably:
Chongwu is treasonous!
The bird demon expanded the search range and finally found General Chongwu’s main force thirty miles to the south!
Running so fast.
Of course Yuwen Yong wanted to give chase, but the Luodian cavalry pressed forward in large numbers and held on to Yuwen Yong's army tightly, so he couldn't withdraw from the front line at all!
As long as he retreated a few steps, Luo Dian would immediately take the Mianying Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and enter the territory of Yao State.
Yuwen Yong could only send a quick message to Yaodu:
General Chongwu committed treason and led his army back to the capital!
He had originally been on guard against General Zhongwu and the Luodian Kingdom attacking him from the north and south, but now he realized that they had been prepared to withdraw from the very beginning!
