Volume 10 Chapter 966
Episode 10, Chapter 966
oops! When Nie Zhen heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around to tell his disciples: "Wait here and no one is allowed to wander around. Do you understand?" In the forbidden area of Youdian, a careless move will be the death penalty for losing one's head. The Great Elder Gao Ge is a lesson learned from the past. ([] )
All the disciples bowed and responded: "Yes! Master!"
Nie Zhen entered the Youdian Hall with the guard leader leading the way. Speaking of which, this was also the first time for him to enter the Youdian, and he was amazed at the scale inside the Youdian.
To make a long story short, the guard leader led Nie Zhen to the second floor of Youdian. At the entrance to the third floor, he stopped and did not dare to go further inside. He whispered: "Elder Nie, the Holy King is here. Inside, it is inconvenient for villains to enter, so they can only wait here. "
Nie Zhen stretched his neck to look inside the corridor, only to feel that the corridor was narrow and dark, all the way down, and there were gusts of wind blowing towards him from time to time. He asked: "Can we see the Holy King if we go through this corridor again?"
"Yes!" "How long is this corridor?" "I don't know." "Where is the end of the corridor?" "I don't know either."
Nie Zhen asked several questions out of curiosity, but the guard leader was confused. It was not clear whether he really didn't know or was pretending to be confused. Nie Zhen shook his head helplessly and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Just as he was about to walk inside, the leader of the guards handed Nie Zhen the torch in his hand and whispered: "Elder Nie, it's very dark in the corridor, so it's better to bring a torch. "
"Yes!" Nie Zhen took the torch and walked into the corridor.
The corridor was not only pitch black, but also extremely cold. The deeper you went, the colder it became. In the end, even Nie Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and could only put on his spiritual armor to resist the cold.
The Holy King just stays in a place like this and retreats? This is incredible. Such an extremely cold place is not suitable for people to live for a long time!
He was full of confusion and didn't know how long he walked. Finally, he walked out of the corridor and the world in front of him suddenly became wider.
Nie Zhen raised his eyes and looked around in surprise, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: What a world of glaciers! Unexpectedly, there is such a wonderful place in the Divine Pond, which is like spring all year round.
"Elder Nie came to see me so urgently. Is there something wrong?"
After hearing the words, Nie Zhen finally came to his senses and noticed Guang Hanting, dressed in white, walking towards him. He was dressed in white from head to toe, almost blending in with the entire glacier world. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to spot his existence.
"Welcome to see the Holy King!" Nie Zhen was shocked, and then he knelt down and kowtowed, and said seriously: "Holy King, something bad has happened. Elder Fang has been killed, and the other elders have... …has already switched sides to the Feng Army…”
A trace of surprise appeared on Guang Han's face when he heard this, but the surprise flashed away. He nodded and asked with a smile: "Is this the case?"
Seeing that his expression was so plain, as if something ordinary had happened, Nie Zhen grinned secretly and said eagerly: "Holy King, now Huangfu, Dongfang and other elders have defected to the Fengchuan coalition. Fengchuan The coalition forces don't even need to send a large army to attack, they just send a group of elders to attack, and even our Shenchi City can't resist it!"
"Haha!" Guang Han smiled leisurely after hearing this, and said, "They are just some capricious villains, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Elder Nie only needs to defend the city with peace of mind. Don't think too much about other things."
How could you not want to! If Huangfu Xiutai and Dongfang Yehuai were the only ones who turned against them, it would be okay to say that at worst, he would join forces with the elders to fight against them. But now that the elders have all gone to Huangfu and Dongfang's side, how could he be able to withstand these many people by himself? The elder?
He swallowed and asked cautiously: "Does the Holy King have any plan to defeat the enemy now?"
Guang Han listened and said calmly: "The troops are coming to block Tathagata Tutun and Shenchi City. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, it will be difficult for them to attack. Why should we be afraid?"
"Holy King, what if the enemy does not attack but is trapped?"
"Didn't you see it when you came in? There is a lot of food stored in Youdian. As long as the people in the city live frugally, it won't be a problem for a year and a half. There are so many armies in Fengchuan and Sichuan. They But if we can’t afford it, I believe it won’t be long before the Fengchuan coalition forces retreat.”
After all, there is still no specific strategy for retreating from the enemy! Nie Zhen secretly sighed in his heart. There was indeed a lot of food stored on the first and second floors of Youdian, but there were 300,000 people in Shenchi City. How could these food last for a year and a half? If you eat it freely, I believe it will be eaten up in less than a month. He frowned, with a troubled look on his face, and said, "Long-term consumption is not a good strategy. Does the Holy King have any other methods?"
Guang Han shrugged, turned and walked aside, and said quietly: "Instead of worrying about meaningless things, I might as well think about the people I miss."
Nie Zhen had the courage to look up, and he discovered that there was a wonderful woman as beautiful as a fairy frozen in the glacier. He looked straight for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and asked involuntarily: "Holy King, she...she is..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Guang Han turned his head sharply and stared at him with sharp and unusual eyes. Nie Zhen shrank his neck in fright, lowered his head in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Holy King, forgive me. It's... Weichen is rude..."
He knew very well that he should never ask too many questions that should not be asked in front of the Holy King.
Guang Hanting stared at him for a moment, smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Now, you only need to arrange the city defenses. As for other things, there is no need to think too much or ask too many questions. In times of crisis, I will help you." You lend a hand.”
"Yes! Holy King, humble minister...resign!" Nie Zhen bowed his hands and saluted, then slowly retreated outside.
After passing through the long, narrow and steep corridor, Nie Zhen returned to the second floor of Youdian. At this time, the leader of the guards was still waiting at the entrance of the corridor. When he saw Nie Zhen coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "See you, Elder Nie." Arrived at the Holy King?"
Nie Zhen nodded slightly, said nothing more, and strode out quickly.
After leaving the Youdian Hall and meeting up with the disciples standing outside, Nie Zhen remained silent, silently waving his hands to the disciples, getting on his horse and driving away with his whip.
On the way back to Nie's Mansion, all the disciples winked at Wei Biao, signaling him to ask their master what the outcome was.
Wei Biao was Nie Zhen's eldest disciple, and he was also Nie Zhen's most trusted and relied-upon disciple. There were some things that no one else dared to ask, so he had to ask them.
Seeing the signals from his junior brothers, Wei Biao urged his horses to catch up with Nie Zhen and walked side by side with him. Then, he asked cautiously: "Master saw the Holy King. What did the Holy King say?"
"The situation is over, the situation is over!" Nie Zhen couldn't help but sigh and shook his head repeatedly.
After pausing for a moment, he suddenly remembered something and whispered to Wei Biao: "Go find Peng Jun tonight. Remember, don't let anyone know. Also, remember to use the back door when entering the house!"
"Master..." Wei Biao's expression suddenly changed. Now he went to find Peng Jun. Master was undoubtedly going to accept his persuasion to surrender! "Master, this matter is very important, so you should think twice before you act!" Wei Biao said tremblingly.
"The Holy King is really disappointing. I have thought clearly about it as a teacher. It's too late. If I don't make a choice, it will be too late to regret it."
"Disciple is worried that after the fall of the Holy King, Huangfu and Dongfang will not be able to accommodate the master!" Wei Biao said with an moved expression.
"I can't control that much now. If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
"Master, is there really nothing the Holy King can do?" Wei Biao asked in disbelief.
"Humph!" Nie Zhen sneered and said no more. In his view, the Holy King was now at the end of his rope, so what was the use of seclusion? If the Fengchuan Allied Forces can be hidden by seclusion, then it is time for me to go into seclusion.
There was nothing to say during the day. At night, in the dead of night, Peng Jun was invited to Nie's Mansion by Wei Biao. According to Nie Zhen's wishes, Wei Biao and Peng Jun quietly entered through the back door of Nie's Mansion and went directly to the study in the backyard.
At this time, Nie Zhen had been waiting in the study for a long time. When he saw Peng Jun, his attitude was completely different from yesterday. He stood up, took the initiative to greet me, and said with a smile on his face: "Nephew Peng Xian, I'm really bothering you by asking you to come late at night!"
Nie Zhen was so proactive and enthusiastic that Peng Jun felt uncomfortable. He bowed his hands in a polite manner and said, "You're welcome, Elder Nie. My nephew pays homage to Elder Nie."
"Please sit down!" Nie Zhen waved his hands with a smile, and then winked at Wei Biao. The latter understood, turned around and walked out of the study, guarding the door.
After Wei Biao left, Nie Zhen asked straight to the point: "Nephew Peng Xian, what do King Feng and King Sichuan mean when you come to persuade me to defect?"
Nie Zhen nodded and said, "Exactly! And it's a letter from King Feng himself."
"Oh?" Nie Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry and bring the letter from King Feng to me."
"This..." Peng Jun also heard from Ziyue that Tang Yin sent a letter. He didn't have Tang Yin's letter in his hand.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Elder Nie, King Feng's letter has long been "That's it. "Nie Zhen fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his eyes, looked directly at Peng Jun, and asked: "Once the current Holy King is impeached, who will take over as the new Holy King of Shenchi? "
Peng Jun grinned secretly when he heard this. How could he be involved in this matter? He didn't know how to answer in his heart, but he still said: "After the Holy King steps down, the person who will succeed the Holy King will naturally be the Great Elder. But now the Great Elder only has three elders, Elder Nie, Elder Huangfu and the family teacher. The new Holy King will naturally It must also be selected from among the three great elders.”
Do you need to say this? ! Nie Zhen snorted coldly in his heart. He simply stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "So, who among the three great elders will take over the position of Holy King?"
"This..." Peng Jun couldn't answer at all this time.
It stands to reason that among the three great elders, Huangfu Xiutai is the one with the highest spiritual power. However, Huangfu Xiutai is not well-liked by others. He is arrogant and self-proclaimed, and treats everyone with a domineering attitude. Among the elders, Not exactly likable, Nie Zhen is no better than Huangfu Xiutai, or even worse. If it is really elected by the elders, the master will undoubtedly have the highest voice, but it is difficult to say this in front of Nie Zhen. Peng Jun pondered for a while and then said: "Elder Nie, my nephew doesn't know about this either."
