While Sun Lang and his eldest nephew were scheming in the Zhenwu Camp, they were not idle here either.
When Sun Lang rushed into the main tent of the central army, Liu Yiwu happened to be giving advice inside. Unsurprisingly, he was caught in the crossfire and was almost cooked by the fire at the city gate.
He was beaten senseless by Sun Lang's righteous fist that came from the sky. Then, he fell out of the tent like a wild goose falling from the sand. He was unconscious until he was found and rescued.
A soldier like Liu Yiwu was enough for a military doctor to take care of him.
He was groggy and felt someone put something on his face. When he opened his eyes, the murderous intent in his eyes scared the person beside him. Fortunately, the military doctor in charge of treating Liu Yiwu was a veteran. Many of the soldiers' eyes after waking up were as ferocious as wild beasts.
Liu Yiwu looked coldly at the military doctor. "What happened?"
For the sake of Liu Cang's military status, the military doctor maintained good manners and said, "You are Liu Cang, right? You were sneakily attacked by bandits and are unconscious. I just performed acupuncture on you."
"Bandits …" The memory from before slowly came to his mind. He remembered that Empress's expression suddenly changed. Then, there was the sound of wind in the sky. His whole body was in pain and he saw stars. He could not remember anything after that.
The military doctor said as he packed up the medicine box, "Liu Yiwu's martial arts are really powerful. The bandits' martial arts are extremely powerful. Tonight, there are at least 15 or 16 generals in the camp who have been beaten unconscious. Some have light injuries, some have serious injuries, but all of them are unconscious. The bandits' martial arts are high … It's amazing that Liu Yiwu woke up so quickly."
However, Liu Yiwu, who had been flattered, did not look pleased at all. Instead, he suddenly clenched his fist and a strong murderous intent flashed through his eyes. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his tense body slowly relaxed.
The military doctor still did not know that he had taken a trip around the gates of hell. He packed up the medicine box and saluted. "Lord Liu, you only need to rest for a while. You only suffered some superficial injuries. I've already left a prescription. Three times a day, a doctor will send it over … I'll go treat the other soldiers now."
Liu Yiwu was still in a daze. He forced himself to say a few polite words and sent the doctor away. Then, he left the tent and was greeted with a strong breath of Samsara Qi of the Five Grains.
F * ck … What the f * ck is this smell!
This strong and powerful smell instantly cleared his mind. He looked around, grabbed a few soldiers, and carefully asked them what had happened.
However, the basic level of education of the soldiers was not very high. Moreover, in this huge wave that had engulfed the whole camp, they were only a small splash in the water. They could not see the whole picture, so they did not understand the cause and effect of the matter. The explanations and explanations given were also messy and full of bizarre mythical colors.
For example, they could not understand or explain the explosion that had brought countless filth and fear. After all, with their simple thoughts and concepts, they could not imagine that someone would be crazy enough to make a barrel of explosives filled with some kind of unknown substance and then throw it over the camp to explode …
Their explanation for the deafening explosion and the terrifying rain that followed was that Grandpa Lei accidentally destroyed the toilet of the Heavenly Court.
— Lei your father's watermelon!
For some reason, Liu Yiwu did not believe in ghosts and gods at all. Since this was the case, although it was hard to believe, there was only one person who could do such a thing …
"It's too scary. It seems that he has become such an unscrupulous person …"
He walked around the camp and asked a lot of soldiers. He slowly pieced together all the answers into a complete and real picture. Only then did he finally understand what kind of horrifying battle and … legend had happened in this camp during the time he was unconscious.
"At least, Empress finally believes that that person can't be defeated with pure force …" He muttered to himself. "Brother Zhang's prediction is indeed correct.
Hmph, the ruler suspects the court, the bow is put away after the birds are killed. The game rules have been around for more than a thousand years. The power of the ruler and the officials are fighting both openly and secretly. Either the tyrannical overlord overthrows the dynasty, or the wise ruler monopolizes the power. Both the open and the hidden shadows of swords … Until today, there is finally an exception. "
A sarcastic smile appeared on his face. It was a very satisfying smile.
The ruler wanted his officials to die, but most of the officials were not idiots. They had to die. They really had to die.
"Before this trip, Brother Zhang asked me to do my best to facilitate the negotiation between Empress and that person. It would be best if we could form an alliance … Even if it's a temporary alliance, it would be good."
He muttered to himself, "If it really succeeds, I'm afraid it'll be a concession from the imperial court. They'll pinch their noses and admit that Mingzhou is under his control. From there, everything will be settled peacefully on the table. Then, there will be a series of exchanges and games, and then the grand marshal will be welcomed back to the capital … This is probably Brother Zhang's goal."
"Since we can't defeat him with pure force, we can only think of other ways … Brother Zhang seems to want to facilitate this and welcome that person back to the capital. Is this his goal?"
"But no matter what … the legendary person has finally returned to the place where he belongs after leaving the court for two years. However, many things have changed in these two years. It's enough to corrupt heroes and change their ideals. What will happen when he returns?"
Liu Canjun said. Then, he raised his head. Something called ambition flashed in his eyes and burned with a fanatical flame. He clenched his fists. "Turmoil will rise again. It's time for heroes to use their martial arts!"
He took a deep breath and strode toward the central military tent.
Although he felt that it was difficult to communicate with that temperamental woman, he still had to go.
The closer he got to the central military tent, the stricter the security became. Fortunately, the position he was attached to was Cao Canjun, a soldier of Tensei Province. It could be said that he was a direct subordinate of Empress, so he was quickly allowed to pass after his identity was verified.
Along the way, there were vigilant eyes watching him. He walked calmly until he arrived at the central military tent. From afar, he saw two figures standing guard on both sides of the tent.
Both of them were dressed in martial attire. One of them held a Fangtian Halberd, and the other held a snake spear. Their eyes fell on Liu Yiwu, causing Liu Canjun to stop breathing.
"So powerful," he thought.
Although one of the two gatekeeping generals was wearing a mask and the other was wearing a full helmet, Liu Canjun was able to recognize them at first glance. Firstly, the weapons were there. Secondly, because of the person in the north, he had been paying attention to these two female generals these days.
Invincible Lin Daiyu and the reincarnated Ghost Hero Xue Baochai.
Because of someone's legacy, the two of them had become the two people with the deepest backgrounds in the Army of Heaven's Origin. The nephew of the empress had only revealed his desire for the empress, but he had already been attacked by a storm. As a result, it was useless for him to escape back to his fief. In the end, some daring old general of the Army of Heaven's Origin came to his doorstep and killed his entire family. After the incident, all the officials and generals in the imperial court protected him and refused to back down. They regarded the incident as an accident and did not even want to find a scapegoat. They refused to give the empress any face.
However, Empress could do nothing about it.
His Majesty's attitude was also very intriguing.
This was because the intense reaction of the majority of the important officials in the court was not so much to protect Xue Baochai, but to demonstrate the dissatisfaction and resentment of the old generals of Tianyuan. The pitiful Marquis had become a punching bag. It was rather pitiful. This was also why the Emperor's attitude was ambiguous. He knew that the matter had been handled very improperly, but there was nothing he could say. In the face of the majority of the court, there were times when the sovereign's authority had to yield.
After all, the Emperor was the most realistic and rational creature in the world.
Between face and substance, the latter was much more important.
Losing a bit of face was nothing. A marquis was nothing. He could even make Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu rise rapidly. He could even make the Rongguo Residence and even the Ningguo Residence enjoy endless glory. After all, that person was already dead. As long as he was dead, everything could be discussed.
But now, that person was not dead, and his attitude toward the Imperial Court was not at all friendly.
If that was the case, then the fun would be huge.
And you …
He turned his gaze to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
Will you be happy or sad?
Your man has returned, but he has become a traitor. Just what kind of choice will you make?
I am very much looking forward to it.
He respectfully bowed. "General Lin, General Xue, I am Liu Yiwu, a soldier of Tensei Province. I have an important matter to discuss with the general. Please pass on the message for me."
On the left, Lin Daiyu, who was wearing heavy armor and tightly wrapped around herself, wore a ferocious tiger and leopard mask. In an icy voice, she said, "Your eyes … what were you mocking us for?"
… So powerful.
Liu Yiwu felt awkward and hurriedly denied it. "I do not dare. General, please do not joke."
The snake spear in Lin Daiyu's hand slightly leaned forward. Her eyes were cold. "Speak!"
Motherf * cker, did this woman not understand the slightest bit of the ways of the world?
At this moment, Xue Baochai on the other side took two steps forward. In a soft voice, she said, "Liu Yiwu, my sister's temperament is somewhat cold and intelligent. She speaks without thinking. Please do not mind … Pin 'er, go in and pass on the message."
Lin Daiyu said coldly, "I will not go. I do not like that woman. She does not have good intentions. Also, do not call me Pin 'er. I am not your sister. If you want to go, you go."
When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Liu Yiwu. Liu Yiwu saw a very unpretentious intention in her eyes. After Xue Baochai goes in, I will beat you.
General Xue had been her sister for so many years. She saw through her sister's intentions at a glance. She helplessly shook her head. In her voice, there was a bit of deliberate coquettishness. "Sister, can you just go for a while?"
Lin Daiyu was silent for a moment. She glanced at Liu Yiwu and turned to enter the tent. Immediately, her rigid voice sounded from inside. "General of Tensei, Liu Yiwu requests an audience."
"Pass on."
