Chapter 2608
Against Hong Bing?
Qi Ying definitely didn't believe it, but the other party was so confident, it was inconvenient for him to say anything more.
Soon, Zhilong left Tangquan Mountain and rushed towards Chi Chongzong.
Qi Ying continued to work on the fortifications of Tangquan Mountain.
However, what puzzled Qi Ying was why the reinforcements from Xihong Plain didn't come for a long time?
It stands to reason that the rebels surrounded here, making it impossible for their own people to rush out to send messages, and cut off contact with the outside world. The outside strongholds should be suspicious, especially at this juncture.
The West Red Plain is so close to here, it is impossible for them to have not received the news by now.
"Could it be... something happened to the Xihong Plain?"
A bold idea popped up in Qi Ying's heart.
But as soon as this idea appeared, Qi Ying couldn't help shaking his head.
This is so ridiculous!
The Xihong Plain is the second super stronghold among the top ten strongholds. Leaving aside the defensive strength of the Xihong Plain, just talking about its commanding Changluo River, that is a terrifying existence that even oneself is not strong enough to deal with.
Even if the opponent is really Bai Ye, Changluohe can deal with it until the reinforcements arrive.
"Are you worrying about nothing? Let's take care of ourselves!"
Qi Ying shook his head thoughtfully.
At this time, a lieutenant walked in quickly.
"Commander, there is someone from Xihongping!" said the deputy general.
Qi Ying immediately asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"The commander of Changluo River in Xihong Plain distributed orders to dozens of people in strongholds, requiring people from all strongholds to gather in Xihong Plain at noon tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the rebels," the lieutenant said solemnly.
"yes?"
Qi Ying frowned, and thought.
After a while, he tilted his head and asked deeply, "Which of the top ten strongholds have you invited?"
"The top five strongholds have not been invited, and the bottom five strongholds have all received news. In addition, there are dozens of strongholds in the surrounding area!"
"Really? Why did Commander Chang invite us, but not the people in charge of the top five strongholds?" Qi Ying snorted.
"It's Commander Chang, please don't move, and the locations of these five strongholds are too scattered, making it inconvenient to come and go!"
"Really...but...I always feel that something is wrong..." Qi Ying said hoarsely.
"My lord, what's wrong with this? These rebels are getting more and more rampant now. They even dare to touch our Tangquan Mountain. Commander Chang invited us to discuss the matter of countering the rebellion. Isn't this a normal thing?" ?” said the lieutenant general.
"It looks normal, but I still feel that something is wrong. What is wrong... I can't figure it out..." Qi Ying sighed.
"What do you mean, my lord... to refuse to participate in this meeting?" the lieutenant asked cautiously.
"I have this idea."
"My lord, think twice, if you offend Lord Changluohe, then...then..." The deputy general's face was ugly, he hesitated to speak.
Qi Ying naturally knew his concerns.
Changluohe personally sent out the invitation, if he didn't go, he would lose face.
The top five strongholds are all strong, the leaders are all powerful, and they are not afraid of the Changluo River, but they are different, and it still depends on each other's face.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Yi Hen! Go, you go for a run!"
"Commander, please order!" the lieutenant hurriedly said.
"Go and get me to those rebel strongholds right away
take a look! "
"My lord, what do you want me to see?"
"Go and show me if the supplies in those strongholds are still there!"
"Look at the supplies?"
The lieutenant was taken aback for a moment, very puzzled.
"Go and report to me immediately after checking!"
"Obey!"
"Wait a minute!" Qi Ying seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly shouted again.
The lieutenant was startled and looked at him.
"After you check those strongholds, go to Xihong Plain again! Listen, don't talk to people in Xihong Plain, check secretly, check for me, is there any other action in Xihong Plain today!! "
"Obey!"
The lieutenant clasped his fists,
Spin and leave in a hurry.
Qi Ying sat nervously on the top of the hill, looking into the distance.
He didn't care about the progress of the surrounding fortifications either.
Because, a bad premonition gradually hit his heart...
Qi Ying believes in his premonition more, and his premonition saved him several times before...
I don't know how long it has been.
A figure appeared in the sky.
But it's not the deputy general's, but the figure of Zhilong who left earlier.
"Lord Zhilong!" Qi Ying immediately got up to meet him.
But seeing Zhilong's expression is very unnatural.
"I've seen Lord Qi Ying!" Zhilong bowed slightly.
"Master Zhilong, what did you find?" Qi Ying immediately asked.
"There are still many rebels left in Chi Chongzong!"
"So they are nesting there?" Qi Ying frowned.
"No, that's just a part of the rebel army, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled! I believe that is definitely not the main force of the rebel army! The real main force of the rebel army is missing at the moment!" Zhilong shouted.
As soon as these words fell, Qi Ying's face suddenly changed.
"Could it be... really as I expected??" Qi Ying murmured to himself with a particularly ugly expression.
"Predicted? Master Qi Ying, what do you mean by that?" Zhilong asked in confusion.
Just as Qi Ying was about to speak, he saw another figure flying in the distance, it was the lieutenant general sent earlier.
"Commander!" the deputy general shouted loudly.
Qi Ying stepped forward immediately.
"Meet the Grand Commander!"
"How's the situation? Tell me!" Qi Ying shouted anxiously.
"Reporting to the commander, all the materials in each stronghold have been taken away. In addition, the subordinates also went to the Xihong Plain. After some investigation, it was found that the Xihong Plain was controlled by the commander of the stronghold Changluo River this morning. He personally led an elite team to come to rescue us at Tangquan Mountain, but the team withdrew when it reached normal, saying that Commander Chang knew that our Tangquan Mountain's crisis had been lifted, so he turned back on his own!" said the deputy general.
When Qi Ying heard this, his face turned pale, his whole body was on the verge of falling, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Commander! What's wrong with you, Commander!"
The lieutenant quickly supported Qi Ying.
"Lord Qi Ying, are you alright?" Zhi Long also frowned.
"Lord Zhilong, we've been tricked...we've all been tricked..." Qi Ying slapped his thighs and said anxiously.
"A trick? Lord Qi Ying! Tell me in detail!" Zhi Long asked hurriedly.
"The group of rebels who attacked me at Tangquan Mountain was really trying to lure snakes out of their holes! Tune the tiger away from the mountain! Their real goal is not my Tangquan Mountain, but the Xihong Plain!!!" Qi Ying said anxiously.
"The Xihong Plain was attacked?" Zhilong asked in surprise.
"Never heard
Ah, and when the subordinates went to the Xihong Plain, everything was fine and there was no sign of being attacked. "The deputy general was stunned.
"It wasn't Xihong Plain that was attacked! It was Commander Changluohe! It was the elite army he led!!" Qi Ying said anxiously.
"what?"
Zhilong's expression changed instantly.
The people around couldn't help but turn pale.
"This...how is it possible? My lord! Commander Changluohe is the supreme powerhouse. How could those rebels...could deal with him? This is impossible..." the deputy general said in disbelief.
"Lord Qi Ying, this matter is extraordinary, don't lie, Xihong Plain is the location of our dark dynasty's important strategic materials, if it is lost, then your and my heads will have to move!" Zhilong lowered his head Said in a hoarse voice.
"I also hope that my guess is false! But everything is too suspicious! Let's say that 'Liao Chang', he came to destroy my enchantment of Tangquan Mountain alone, and then left without continuing. Attack, and in the early morning of the next day, he led the army to attack suddenly! But it didn't take long before he led people away in a hurry! This is not like trying to take Tangquanshan from me at all! It's more like fishing with bait...then'Liao Chang' is so weird! He can even destroy the enchantment set by the commander-in-chief, which is enough to show the horror of his methods, I'm worried...that'Liao Chang' is Bai Ye!"
"Furthermore, it is impossible for Commander Chang to be ignorant of the rebels. He must always be paying attention to Mount Tangquan, which is the closest to Chi Chongzong. Turn back suddenly??"
"Perhaps he knew about the withdrawal of the rebels and was worried about something happening in the Xihong Plain, so he turned back in a hurry." Zhilong said in a deep voice.
"If that's the case, why didn't you send someone to inform me?" Qi Ying asked back.
Zhilong was silent.
"And...all the materials in the stronghold disappeared, and Chi Chongzong only left the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled...Why? This is to create a false appearance, pretending that the rebels have fled, but in my opinion, the more obvious it is The more suspicious the signs, the more suspicious! Where are these rebels now? No one knows, but I believe that these rebels are likely to have sneaked into the Xihong Plain!" Qi Ying said hoarsely.
As soon as these words fell, Zhilong's heart beat a little faster...
"Lord Qi Ying, what do you mean?" Zhi Long asked deeply.
"I also ask Lord Zhilong to notify the dynasty immediately, asking the dynasty to send strong men to quickly investigate the Xihong Plain and find out the rebel spies! Kill the rebels!" Qi Ying said solemnly, clasping his fists.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words fell, Zhilong shook his head and laughed.
"Lord Qi Ying, it's not that you don't know the current situation. The dynasty is currently short of people. Who can come to the Chaxihong Plain at this time? What's more, if it's a misunderstanding, it's not to annoy Changluo. Is the river commander?"
"Master Zhilong doesn't believe it?" Qi Ying asked in a daze.
"I believe, this kind of thing, I'd rather believe it than believe it! But if you believe it, it's better not to make a fuss on the side of the Dynasty. If the result is an oolong, then you and I will be ashamed! "
"Why does Qi Ying care about face?"
"It's still inappropriate." Zhilong shook his head, still refusing.
Qi Ying was taken aback for a moment before he realized that he didn't care about face, but it's not necessarily for others to stop the dragon...
"Let me go and investigate with you." Zhilong thought for a moment: "The Dynasty sent me here to investigate the matter of Bai Ye and the rebels. After I am sure, it will not be too late to report to the Dynasty!"
"Okay!" Qi Ying took a deep breath.
So far, that's all there is to it...
