Chapter 583: The Killing Army
Some things, if you want to truly understand them, you must rely on yourself to comprehend them.
Even if others can see through them and speak them out... it will be useless.
It may even affect your chance of comprehending.
If before today, Yu Cang told Gu Jieshuang that she had comprehended the sword intent, she would definitely be confused... and then out of trust in Cang, she would keep working hard on the sword intent, trying to dig out the hidden sword intent... and this would only make the sword intent bury deeper and deeper in her heart.
Once you get stuck in a dead end, it will be difficult to get out.
At that time, Yu Cang couldn't say it, and it's the same now.
When one day, Gu Jieshuang suddenly realized that her sword intent was not complete... that was when she transformed again.
While the few people were chatting, Wen Renge, who was standing aside, looked at this place with a complicated look.
The scene just now... was too spectacular.
It's hard to imagine that the person surrounded by thousands of swords, like a sword god... is actually one of my junior sisters, the one who will inherit my battle club president next year.
He... Even if he tried his best, he couldn't survive the attack just now...
He saw several legendary swords alone, and such weapons didn't need any preparation, they could be summoned with a thought!
If he and Gu Jieshuang were to duel, and she used such an attack at the beginning, Wen Renge couldn't imagine how he would resist.
Is this still his peer?
These days, he also learned about what the sword intent is, and the result... is a bit confusing.
Something that even myths may not be able to comprehend... There are only two people in the Eastern Continent who have the sword intent, and one of them is an old guy from two thousand years ago.
Is this kind of thing something they should be exposed to at their age?
Damn it, there is only one genius like Yu Cang, why do we need another one!
For a moment, Wen Renge felt like crying but had no tears.
I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate to be in the same era and country with such a person.
I heard... Duan Feng also comprehended the prototype of the sword intent?
He thought he was qualified to compete with Duan Feng, but...
Wen Renge looked at his hands.
If only he could understand it.
Alas.
At this time, Du Yanran came over.
"Since you're awake, shall I cancel the armed chariot? It takes ammunition to maintain its existence, and such a chariot is too conspicuous in the Changsheng tent."
Yu Cang nodded: "Of course - it won't be needed next time."
They sneaked in, so they must keep a low profile for a while, otherwise they will be exposed too easily.
Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly -
Swoosh!
Qiu Jindong's figure suddenly rushed out, and a trail of afterimages passed through the air, and then he kicked -
Snap!
A rusty dagger was kicked away by Qiu Jindong, and after spinning a few times in the air, it was inserted into the ground.
Qiu Jindong retracted his foot, his eyes calm, looking at the two hunters trembling on the ground.
Next to him, Lou Yan also fell to the ground, looking frightened and gasping for breath.
Yu Cang frowned and walked forward: "Qiu Zhenguo, what happened just now?"
Qiu Jindong: "... These two hunters want to kill Lou Yan."
Hearing this, Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He turned his head and suddenly laughed: "I said there was something strange... You, really have bad intentions."
When he said this, he had already activated the Emperor's Heart slightly, mixed with a trace of imperial power.
Yu Cang did this to break the psychological defenses of the two hunters, so that they would confess who instructed them, but...
"Master... spare me! Spare me!"
The male hunter curled up on the ground, trembling all over, but still insisted on knocking his head... But there was no one where he knocked, he was just knocking randomly.
On the side, the female hunter was even more exaggerated, her body was completely twisted on the ground, shaking constantly, like a stroke.
...No, it's a stroke.
She was foaming at the mouth.
Yu Cang frowned.
Is this... necessary to be so scared?
The killer sent by the person behind the scenes can't be just this kind of psychological quality... Is it just acting?
While Yu Cang was thinking, Lou Yan, who was sitting on the side, came up, rolled up his clothes and stuffed them into the mouth of the female hunter, and then began to pinch her philtrum to prevent her from fainting.
Yu Cang: "I said..."
"Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me!"
"..."
Yu Cang couldn't help but be silent.
Could they really be ordinary people?
Looking at the strength of the two, they are only the second-level soul card masters. Any normal person would have this level at this age.
But just now...
At this time, Qiu Jindong looked over: "How to deal with these people?"
Yu Cang put his hands in his pockets, opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said:
"What does Qiu Zhenguo think?"
"Kill them." Qiu Jindong said, "Saving them will only expose our whereabouts."
"Then..."
Yu Cang's words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
Qiu Jindong looked at Yu Cang like this, his eyes moved slightly, but he was not surprised.
After all, he is just a young man.
Just now, facing Salang and Fashi, Yu Cang, who was able to kill decisively and make his own decisions, acted a little embarrassed.
Based on Yu Cang's previous performance, he shouldn't have asked me at this moment. When he realized that he couldn't get anything out of me, he should have just killed me.
At most, let them do it for me.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong said, "Do you think that they may be just ordinary people? It's too hasty to deal with them like this?"
"..."
"In fact, we don't need to hide our whereabouts - sneaking into the Changsheng Tent was just a spur of the moment decision, and the only reasonable purpose is to conceal the identity of Senior Taichu. But since we have entered the Changsheng Tent, we can just make it clear. There is no need to kill people to hide our whereabouts, let alone kill ordinary people."
Yu Cang took a deep breath: "That's right."
"But-" Qiu Jindong said, "We are in the heart of the enemy country. The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we are not careful, we will die without a burial place. In addition, military orders cannot be changed from day to day, and we cannot be indecisive. Since we have decided to sneak in secretly before joining the Great King's Court, we must execute it to the end.
"There is no joking in the army. If you violate what you just said in the next second, then others will inevitably think that your next words are a joke and are unwilling to execute them seriously. When morale is lost, how can we fight? As the commander of this operation, you must understand this. "
Hearing this, Yu Cang fell into a long silence.
Qiu Jindong did not say anything else, but just looked at him, waiting for him to speak again.
Du Yanran behind him glanced at Qiu Jindong.
He is the commander of this operation...
Well, forget it, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, just listen to Yu Cang.
After a long time, Yu Cang let out a long breath.
"I know."
Yu Cang raised his hand, the soul card shattered, and a sword of punishment appeared from it.
"I'll do it myself. "
Seeing this, Qiu Jindong smiled.
That's right.
Although Yu Cang didn't have the responsibility to command this trip, he actually commanded.
In addition to considering that no one could command Dong Taichu, there must be a test from Di Changan.
This is equivalent to Di Changan saying it clearly - just do it, you will get a share of the credit, and if there is trouble, Du Yanran will take the blame in name only.
Although it sounds a bit unfair to Du Yanran, even if he takes the blame, Du Yanran will not be punished. At most, he will be promoted in public but transferred in private - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Cang will definitely be in Yan Country in the future Being in a high position, Du Yanran doesn't have to worry about his future after going on this trip.
Even if Du Yanran is not qualified to take the blame, Qiu Jindong has to come.
Of course, finding someone to take the blame is not the main purpose - experience is.
Yu Cang is young after all, and he will never understand things like this if he doesn't experience it personally.
When Yu Cang takes over Di Changan's position in the future, there will be more things that are more difficult to decide than this.
Yu Cang's eyes gradually became cold. He waved his hand and was about to let the Sword of Punishment kill the two people. At this time, Lou Yan suddenly came up:
"Wait... Don't!"
Buzz——
The Sword of Punishment stopped in mid-air, and Yu Cang's eyes fell on Lou Yan, saying: "What's the reason."
"They are the people of the Hunter Clan, and they must be governed by the laws of the Hunter Clan..."
"Don't give me that." Yu Cang said, "This has nothing to do with me - besides, you treat them as people, but they may not treat you as a prince. Just now, they wanted to kill you. "
Lou Yan gritted his teeth: "Wait... I can interrogate them first, I will definitely find out what you are interested in!"
"..."
Yu Cang moved his fingers slightly, and the Sword of Judgment pierced the ground and dissipated into soul card fragments.
Spell cards are not equipment after all, and cannot exist for such a long time.
"My time is limited." Yu Cang said, "Before you return to the Great King's Court, you must fully cooperate with our actions."
"I know... Don't worry, I understand."
Lou Yan stood up: "Um, Yu Cang... Can you help me clean up the smell on my body? "
Yu Cang said nothing, waved his hand, and activated the soul card he had just made. A ray of light flowed through Lou Yan's body, completely removing the stench of corpse.
He had just dealt with the corpse when he met the Iron Man, and he hadn't had time to use this card.
The soul card light swept over, and Lou Yan was already refreshed. He didn't hesitate, and immediately squatted down and approached the hunter man who was smelling sour.
"Old man... Don't worry, I am the prince of the Great King's Court. I will ask you a few questions. As long as you answer truthfully, there will be no problem. "
"I... I..."
The man was still shaking, but with Lou Yan's comfort, he was much better than before.
He lowered his eyebrows, looked at Lou Yan carefully, and then looked at Yu Cang's legs-his sight only dared to go here, and didn't dare to continue upward.
"Okay... okay, I will definitely tell you, I will definitely tell you..."
"Come on, you get up first. "
Lou Yan tried to help the man up, but the man seemed to be stressed and didn't dare to get up. Instead, he knelt down on the ground.
"...Then I'll ask this."
Lou Yan lowered his head as much as he could.
"Old man, why did you want to kill me just now?"
"I, I..."
"It doesn't matter, just tell me."
"I...I didn't mean it, sir." The man looked bitter, "I just remember seeing...saw your portrait in the tent, it seemed to be a wanted poster, and I thought...thought..."
"Me?" Lou Yan pursed his lips, "But even if you kill me, it's useless. There are so many of us, how can you go back alive to collect the reward?"
These two people were chased so embarrassingly by an iron man just now, and anyone in their team could take advantage of that iron man.
How do they have the confidence to complete this act under their noses?
"I...I don't want to either." The man put his forehead on the ground and clenched his fists, "We really have no choice... I have a family of nine, and now we are the only ones left, and we have no talent. The day has been chosen to become a human elixir...
"We can only escape... But a bounty, a bounty is good. As long as you can complete a bounty, you can not only get a lot of things, but also save Yaomei from having to make human elixirs... Just now I just thought that several adults have left. It's far away, I have a chance to get it, and after I'm killed, I can let Yaomei sell my skin, maybe I can get through..."
Lou Yan: "..."
He turned to look at Yu Cang, but found that Yu Cang's expression did not change at all.
He knew that even though he asked clearly about the reason, it was not enough to interest Yu Cang.
So he quickly turned around and spoke again: "Then where did you originally plan to escape to? Have you ever thought that we might have let you go, but if you did, you would force us to kill you?"
"I..." the man's lips trembled, and he said after a long time, "We heard that there is a killing army in the south, and we want to defect to it... This is our only way to survive, but we are not soul card masters, and 80% of the killing army will not like it. We...just now, just now...maybe our only chance..."
Hearing this, Lou Yan's eyes widened slightly and he immediately asked: "The Killing Army? What is that?"
"The Killing Army... is... an army formed by people who have conflicts with the court... they..."
At this time, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Rebels?"
"I, I, I don't dare..." The man immediately began to kowtow after hearing this, "I didn't say, I didn't say... I didn't say that!"
Yu Cang: "..."
"Okay, old man." Lou Yan said quickly, "Please tell us about this killing army in detail, and we will let you go."
The man raised his head slightly: "Really...really?"
"Of course, you say."
"Okay... okay, let me say." The man paused, "Um... adults, are you, are you from the Killing Army?"
"We are not."
"Okay, okay...the Killing Army, they...they can't stand the behavior of a few people in the court, so they want to use force to fight..."
The man spoke stumblingly.
It can be seen that the man has no education. Sometimes what he says has no preface and follow-up, and there is no logic at all. He just says what comes to mind.
The above conversations are all information that Yu Cang has compiled directly from the starry sky level.
Moreover, men are obviously afraid that they are deliberately telling lies, so they always say things so as not to offend both parties, and to say that they are both good people.
But judging from his reaction, it was obvious that this was not the case.
