With Wu Tong's cover, Huang Xie successfully escaped from the danger although he was embarrassed.
When the news reached Li Yuan's ears, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"How? How is this possible?!"
Li Yuan's face was ferocious, with veins popping out on his hands. He picked up the subordinate who had come back to report the news and asked fiercely.
"H-Sir, we were almost successful, but another group of people suddenly appeared outside the Thorny Gate and rescued Lord Chun Shen."
The subordinate replied with a blush on his face.
"Another group of people? Who are they?"
Li Yuan shouted hysterically, "Then kill them too!"
"But,"
The men in black whispered, "We can't defeat them..."
"waste!!"
Li Yuan threw him out, "Come on, go ask Mr. Duanshui to come over and discuss the matter."
In the entire Chu State, compared with Huang Xie, Li Yuan's power was no more than that of Yinghuo compared to Haoyue, and was not worth mentioning at all. The ambush at Thorny Gate was considered a desperate gamble. Now that the bet had been lost, Li Yuan couldn't even think of any other way to save the situation. He could only pin his hopes on the mysterious envoy of Qin.
However, this time, the water shortage was destined to disappoint Li Yuan.
After a while, while Li Yuan was waiting anxiously, a servant trotted over with a pale face: "Sir, that gentleman is missing!"
"What?!"
Li Yuan felt as if he was hit by a thunderbolt from the clear sky, his legs weakened and he fell to the ground.
At this time, the rumble of footsteps and the sound of horse hooves could be faintly heard outside his mansion.
…
…
As soon as Chun Shenjun returned to Ling Yin's mansion, he immediately ordered the deployment of troops and asked the Yingdu city defense army to surround Li Yuan's mansion.
He didn't care whether Li Yuan was the queen's brother or the prince's uncle. The panic and embarrassment at the Thorny Gate just now turned into monstrous anger, tilting towards Li Yuan.
To put it another way, after dealing with Li Yuan, there is no telling how Huang Xie will treat the immediate queen.
After all, without the cooperation of the people in the palace, how could Li Yuan and He De be able to ambush the killer at Thorny Gate in advance and know exactly when he would enter the palace?
But Wu Tong didn't get too involved in what happened next.
The Thorny Gate ambush was Li Yuan's risky move. If he succeeded, he would naturally reach the sky in one step. But now that he failed, there is no need to say more about the outcome.
Huang Xie can manipulate him into one hundred and eight miniatures at will.
As expected, news soon came from the palace.
Uncle Li Yuan conspired with Luo Wang to assassinate the King of Chu. Although the Queen resisted tenaciously regardless of her own safety, she was alone and both she and the King of Chu died. Chun Shenjun came late to rescue him and only had time to save the prince.
The traitor Li Yuan and his gang members will soon be punished in Caishikou.
Wu Tong was devastated when he heard the news. He immediately went back to his room and wrote a letter describing the events in detail: "Someone, please send the letter back to Dongting Mountain."
…
…
In the hidden witch palace.
Chi Yao felt a new witch mark on his chest and nodded secretly: "Although the speed is getting slower and slower, this visible increase in strength is still very good."
"Master, there is a letter from Yingdu."
At this time, a disciple with a faint blue water pattern on his body reported outside the hall.
Chi Yao heard the sound and walked out, left Dongting Lake and returned to the head hall.
"Well, Huang Xie has not become indecisive because of his old age..."
He nodded slightly, "In this way, two of the four young masters of the Warring States Period are still alive, and the unified alliance will have a backbone. I'm afraid the future world situation will become a lot more interesting."
…
…
However, what Chi Yao found interesting, Ying Zheng did not think so.
When Xuan Jian came to the audience with the intelligence from Chu State, he was deducing the current battle situation with Gai Nie.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Xuanjian presented the information.
"Well... that's half the success. It's a pity that Huang Xie didn't die..."
He shook his head with regret, "Otherwise we could even take the opportunity to tear off a large piece of meat from Xiang Yan."
"The subordinates are incompetent."
Xuan Jian was very eye-catching and immediately knelt down to apologize.
"No, my dear, you have done a great job."
Ying Zheng praised him warmly, "Although it is a little regrettable, the King of Chu passed away at that time. Even if Huang Xie stabilized the situation, the Chu State would definitely not have the energy to take the initiative to attack. In this way, Yang Duan and his troops on the southern front It should be possible to allocate part of the troops to support other fronts. Especially on the central line, it seems that it is too difficult for Meng Wu to face Wei Wuji alone."
The current battle situation is that Wang Jian and Li Mu are in a stalemate on the northern front, and the Qin army is on the defensive; Yang Duanhe and Xiang Yan are in a stalemate on the southern front, and there are exchanges between offense and defense; only on the middle line, Meng Wu leads the Pingyang heavy armor army to face Lord Xinling The allied forces of South Korea and Wei had obvious disadvantages, and the front retreated again and again.
"By the way, Gai Qing, I heard that Wei Wuji suddenly had a successor from Guigu recently."
Ying Zheng looked at Ge Nie, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"
However, Gai Nie's fighting spirit was too weak. Even when he heard that Wei Zhuang had gone to the battlefield, he remained unmoved: "Everything is entirely up to your Majesty's arrangement."
Ying Zheng observed him carefully and saw that he really didn't have much fighting spirit, so he had to drop the topic for now: "Then let's do this first. Xuan Jian loves you, and the net cannot stop penetrating the six countries, similar to the state of Chu. The opportunity must be seized in time.”
"I obey the order."
…
…
If the Allied Forces had an advantage over Qin in the previous battles, then after the incident in Chu, these advantages had been equalized by Qin.
And as time goes by, the war situation becomes more and more unpredictable.
Both sides have their own disadvantages. The Qin State is one against five, and its troops, generals, and forage are all weak points. Although the joint side is powerful and has strong soldiers and generals, they cannot truly work together. It is okay during the favorable period, but once it falls into a long-term When time is stagnant or even against the wind, many contradictions and gaps will become impossible to cover up.
Time dragged on longer and longer, both parties were waiting and suffering;
The bet is that the other party will have problems before you do.
At this time, in the land of Bazhong, at the foot of Shu Mountain, two guests in gorgeous robes were welcomed.
"elder sister,"
One of them, a woman in a blue dress with a temperament as bright as the moon, looked at the top of the mountain. Her voice contained some inexplicable emotions, "Have you figured out how to complete the instructions from Donghuang Pavilion?"
"It's simple,"
Another woman was wearing a golden dress, and her face was similar to the woman next to her, but her temperament was in sharp contrast. If the woman in the blue skirt is as cold as the moon, then she is as bright as the sun, domineering and hot.
The matter-of-fact tone she followed also confirmed that this temperament was not false: "Your Excellency Donghuang once said that my chance of enlightenment lies on the sacred tree of Shushan, so just grab it, what else do you need to think about? "
