Chapter 622 The Storm Arises
Huang County.
"what happened?"
Overnight, the entire Huang County seemed to have changed.
Xiang Jun was originally a representative of the Yin Yang family, and he was discussing the mirage with Gong Shu Chou, the head of the Gong Shu family. But now, I feel a little nervous for no reason.
In the same house, Gongshu Qiu is also frowning. Unlike Xiang Jun, who is elegant and handsome, Gong Shuqiu is not good at appearance, but his thoughts are deeper.
To recreate the mirage of the ancient giant ship, it is necessary to use several seaports along the coast of Qi, including Huangxian, Xiuxian, and Langya, which are very important material transshipment centers.
Originally, there were voices of surrender in Qi State, and Gongshu Qiu thought that there was no war in Qi State, so he asked Gongshu Chou to make some preliminary preparations in Qi State.
But these preparations, including the funds invested, cannot be shown on the surface. After all, Qi has not surrendered yet.
However, for some reason, Huang County is now in a state of turmoil.
The Qi army settled in this seaside county in large numbers overnight. And it seems that he is serious about it.
Even when the Qi Palace was stolen, it didn't look like this. Everyone thought that Qi's internal military morale had long been weakened, but the current scene was telling the world that the king of this country still had deep control over this land.
"The soldiers of Jimo of Qi and the dead soldiers of Jixia gathered here overnight. What happened?"
Jimo is one of the five capitals of Qi State, and its garrison is one of the most elite troops in Qi State.
Gongshu Qiu said, thinking in his heart.
It seems that the Qi royal family was really hurt this time, so there was such a movement.
Xiangjun is also waiting. The Yin Yang family also has its own intelligence network in Qi State, but now, no news has come.
This also indicates that the seriousness of the situation may be far beyond the imagination of the world.
"I thought it would be calm, the Qi National Congress would surrender, and everyone would be safe. But maybe, a storm is coming."
…
The dock salt field still has traces of the battle.
Tian Jia, the lord of Jixia and the younger brother of the current King of Qi, looked at the body lying on the ground.
The leader of King Qi's guards and several Jixia dead soldiers.
Those Jixia soldiers were killed with a sword, and there were no important clues. But the leader of King Qi's guards was different. He had traces of battles on his body and was of great value.
There was a sword wound on the right shoulder and left abdomen, respectively, from two different swords.
It seemed that he was attacked from two sides, was seriously injured, gradually became weak, and was pierced through the organs with a sword.
The fighting was fierce. Both the leader of the guards and the two swordsmen who fought against him were the top masters in the world.
Even if he fell into the opponent's trap, the leader of the guards did not suffer the consequences.
Tianjia was a little sad. As the leader of King Qi's guards, the Lord of Jixia had a deep friendship with him.
Some time ago, Tianjia learned that he had received a secret order from King Qi, went to perform a mission, and disappeared for a while.
But when they met again, they were already separated by life and death, and the other party became a cold corpse.
"Jing Salamander, Xuan Jian!"
Tianjia noticed the sword wounds caused by these two special swords, but at the same time, he was a little surprised. With the other party's behavior, how could he not destroy the body but leave so much evidence.
"What happened?"
"It is said that the guards patrolling the salt field discovered something unusual and notified the defenders in Huang County. A few days ago, thousands of troops were stationed in Huang County to catch thieves. When the local county leader arrived with soldiers, your Excellency still had a man left behind. The tone left only two words 'net'."
Tian Jia frowned. It seems that this matter was indeed carried out by a snare, but why was it such a coincidence that a guard discovered it?
"Where's the saltworks guard?"
"My subordinates searched for him, but he disappeared. However, the Jixia Dead Soldiers caught a lot of spies in the city."
Tian Jiu was filled with anger and issued the order.
"In this city, whether it is the Yin Yang family or the public loser family, no matter what force they are, if they jump out at this time, they will all be killed!"
Tian Jia didn't know the reason for King Qi's anger, but he also knew that this matter was more complicated than imagined.
"After many years, the hungry wolf Luo Wang finally started to bite people."
…
Tian Meng returned to his house and hid the mask and the Salamander Sword.
In a battle last night, he and Xuan Jian killed the leader of King Qi's guards and captured important things in the mission.
In this way, it was tantamount to handing in the certificate of surrender, completely betraying the Tian family, and embarking on a road of no return.
But at the same time, he also gained Luo Wang's trust and officially became Luo Wang's first-class swordsman.
Frightened salamander!
However, the outcome of this betrayal was somewhat unpredictable for Tian Meng.
The reaction of the Qi royal family was too fast. Before he and Xuanjian could even destroy the corpses, Qi's army arrived, and the next day, Jimo's army had already stationed.
It seems that a storm is coming.
Tian Meng coughed a few times as he felt anxious in his heart. Last night, he fought with the leader of the guards. Although he succeeded in assassinating the opponent, Tian Meng was also seriously injured.
Next, we can only use our special status in the Tian family to escape from here.
There was a knock on the door.
Tian Meng looked at the door warily, but saw a beautiful woman walking in.
"Sir, do you need lunch?"
Tian Meng was already lustful, but his reason still prevailed.
“Get a chicken, a plate of fish, and some wine.”
After Tian Meng finished speaking, he saw that the woman did not respond, but walked up quietly.
Tian Meng thought the woman wanted a reward and was about to take some coins, but something didn't feel right. This woman was too close to him.
"what are you up to?"
But he saw the woman wave her hand, and a purple mist filled the air. Tian Meng was shocked and was about to repel the woman with a palm.
But before his palm force could reach him, Tian Meng found that he couldn't move. And that woman had scales on her fair neck.
"You are... a shark!"
But after saying this, Tian Meng suddenly thought of something. That year in Korea, he saw the woman who looked like a fairy.
Goddess Tanyin!
However, this thought was interrupted as a faint red circle appeared around Tian Meng's pupils.
"The Blue Sea Tide Banshee's methods are really powerful!"
Tan Yin smiled and asked.
"Where is that box?"
Tian Meng was like a puppet, completely revealed.
"Took away by Xuanjian."
"You are a member of the Tian family. Why won't Luo Wang let you take him away? Wouldn't it be more convenient to send him out of the city?"
"Luo Wang still doesn't trust me. Xuan Jian is young, but his position in Luo Wang is higher than mine. Zhao Gao also trusts the new Xuan Jian."
"Is that so?"
Tan Yin murmured, and just then he heard a rough voice coming from outside.
"Brother, something big happened outside, and the net is making trouble again."
Tian Hu hurried into the house and saw Tian Meng standing there, like a piece of wood. Beside him, the maid of the inn stood respectfully.
“What else does a guest want besides a roast chicken and fish stew?”
Tian Meng paused and had forgotten what happened just now. He had no idea that he had revealed very important information.
"That's it for now!"
"This is not enough to eat!" Tian Hu waved his hand, very proudly, "Here are three roast chickens, two fish, three plates of side dishes to go with wine, and two glasses of good wine."
"yes!"
Tan Yin walked out of the house, but behind her, she heard Tian Hu still talking carelessly about the "big event" that had stirred up the city.
