Chapter 405: Who is behind the scenes?
It is said that Chen Long had been fighting fiercely with the great swordsman Zijing for a long time. After all, Zijing was good at swordsmanship, but his boxing and kicking skills were a little inferior. After fighting with thousands of moves, he was exhausted. He was secretly complaining in his heart. Chen Long's crazy attack suddenly revealed a flaw. Jing took the opportunity to escape from the trap and avoided the bad luck of dying from exhaustion on the spot.
Zijing jumped out of the circle, deeply hating this ruthless Zhen Dong who didn't know where he came from. Knowing that Zhen Dong deliberately exposed his flaws and left himself room, he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude in his heart, and without stopping, he hid directly in the jungle. This time, Wu Xian became the Great Sword Master again. He simply sent a message from afar and temporarily passed on the position of Great Sword Master to Chen Long. This could be regarded as keeping his word and fulfilling his promise.
Zijing's words woke up several people in their dreams. Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan quickly woke up from the shock and disappeared without a trace while taking advantage of the chaos. Most of the disciples had been bullied by Qiu Jian for many years, and had no good impression of a snobbish person like Liu Jiannan. Chen Long unexpectedly broke the ice-like structure of this millennium, and the disciples burst into cheers.
Zhou Mi supported Bao Yue and stood up from the steps in surprise, welcoming the victorious Chen Long up the steps. The situation changed. The great swordsman Zijing who was still standing on the stage and was arrogant just now was replaced by the newly appointed temporary great swordsman Zhen Dong. Everyone gathered at the foot of the steps to watch the new official Chen Long's announcement of taking office.
Chen Long supported Bao Yue and slowly walked up the long steps, but his mind was running at high speed on how to deal with this situation. In fact, Chen Long had already thought about it, but he didn't expect that the changes would come so quickly, and Qiu Jian would become the catalyst for the entire incident.
First of all, Chen Long and Baoyue put on makeup and infiltrated the Nanlin Sword Sect with the purpose of finding out the mastermind behind the scenes. This time, under the background of Qu Yi's secret surrender to Cao Cao, there were several premeditated parties in Cangzhou. The only one he could be sure of was Cao Chun, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In addition, who was Cao Cao's partner behind the scenes was the biggest unknown.
Chen Long had been operating in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River Basin. Although he quickly occupied the entire strategic towns of Jingzhou and Nanyang Wancheng, he also ostensibly took control of part of Chang'an, and then occupied grain bases such as Hanzhong, harvesting yellow rice. Famous generals such as Gai, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan, but in the traditional sense of the Central Plains, Chen Long's power has always been on the edge of Greater China. The Central Plains is still Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Tao Qian When the heroes are fighting for hegemony, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the most powerful, Cao Cao rises the fastest, and Lu Bu has the strongest force. It can be said that each has its own merits, and no one can do anything to the other. If we follow the development of official history, it will still be Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's struggle for hegemony in the end, with the Battle of Guandu breaking out, followed by the rise of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
However, the dragon ball representing Chen Long's power went deep into Cangzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he defeat the arrogant Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian in martial arts, but he also launched a series of military operations and successfully attacked Zhencheng. , established the first strong stronghold in the Central Plains. Then, although it was unfavorable to unite with Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao's forces, they quickly occupied Puyang, gained a god general like Guan Yu, and took control of both sides of the Yellow River in Jizhou in one fell swoop. This battle caused major changes in the situation in Jizhou and Qingzhou, but Cao Cao was busy dealing with Kong Rong and went south to deal with Tao Qian, and had no time to go north to eliminate Longzhu.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Longzhu united with Zhang Yan to attack the powerful Jizhou. Chen Long's high-profile entry into Puyang represented the official rise of the Qinglong Army in the Central Plains.
Subsequently, Chen Long's series of military operations, as well as the coordinated operations with the Cangzhou and Youzhou armies, reduced Yuan Shao's power to the city of Handan in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for the Central Plains. It was so amazing that it almost dazzled all the Central Plains. The boss's eyes. These places are not fringe areas, they are too sensitive, so it is not surprising that Chen Long has become a thorn in the side of the Central Plains boss and formulated a conspiracy against him, but he did not expect that they opened the gap from Tian Feng in Cangzhou.
Chen Long and Gongsun Zan narrowly escaped from Cangzhou. Of course, Chen Long wanted to find out who was behind it and see what forces were involved. On the surface, the most obvious participant is Cao Cao, which sounded the alarm for Chen Long. After defeating Yuan Shao, Chen Long made the mistake of being lax in his strategy. He always thought that Cao Cao was managing Xuzhou, and ignored the wolf-like sergeant. Qingzhou Army. The Qingzhou Army also has Xun Yu and Cao Ren, and Cao Cao also has Liu Ye and Cheng Yu. These famous generals in the world will never miss a chance to eliminate Chen Long.
Apart from Cao Cao, the Nanlin Sword Sect is another superficial force, but Chen Long knows nothing about the mastermind behind this powerful and mysterious sword sect, and he doesn’t know who the sword master of the Nanlin Sword Sect is, let alone There is also a swordsman named Wang Yue behind the scenes. In my impression, Wang Yun and Wang Yue were still fighting to death in Luoyang with Yuan Shu who proclaimed himself emperor. This was the second mistake Chen Long made. He ignored the hatred of the royalists against him and the conflict between Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Empress He. Regime struggle.
Because of Chen Long's amazing rise, the forces that opposed Chen Long overtly and covertly seemed to be forming an alliance, at least secretly colluding in the elimination of Chen Long, and even going so far as to attack Chen Long's family members. As Chen Long walked up the long stairs, everything flashed through his mind like lightning. He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that there were powerful guards like Zhou Cang, Guan Yu, and Tai Shici protecting the safety of his family.
Finally walking onto the high platform, Chen Long turned around and saw all the swordsmen in green clothes below the stage, all looking at him eagerly. Chen Long raised his hands, and the audience immediately fell silent. It seemed that everyone recognized his martial arts. Chen Long didn't see Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan, and was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that after these two people left, they would definitely complain to the sword master or the people behind the scenes. He and Baoyue would soon face the people behind the scenes. What a blow. Fortunately, after these two people left, they would definitely accelerate the development of the situation and achieve his wish to force out the mastermind as soon as possible.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided. Only by forcing out the villain behind the scenes can he fight back. Even though he and Baoyue are in danger, the price has to be paid. Fortunately, I had made arrangements so that I would never have to face the vicious plan of the mastermind alone.
The Nanlin Sword Sect is close to Chang'an and should not be controlled by Cao Cao alone. Chen Long had a vague feeling that this mysterious sword sect should be inextricably linked to the Han Dynasty court. Especially this Wei Zijing, we must find a way to understand in detail the situation before he came to the Sword Sect.
Thinking of this, Chen Long opened his mouth and said to the disciples: "Brothers and sisters, everyone has seen today that this Qu master Qiu Jian has always been partial to Senior Brother Liu and severely punished my brother and sister. His martial arts can't suppress me, so he went to the big brother." The swordsman came to drive us away."
"Because of this, my sister was injured by the Great Sword Master's sword energy, so I rose up to resist, and God allowed me to be lucky enough to succeed. Since Qu's master Qiu Jian has disappeared, the Great Sword Master ordered me to temporarily take over as the First Sword Master Fang Sword Master. Now I declare , Senior Sister Zhou Mi replaced Qiu Jian and was temporarily appointed as the First Channel Master, responsible for daily training and management." Chen Long appointed a few more mature and prudent disciples to replace the few young disciples originally appointed by Qiu Jian, and the First Channel suddenly appeared A new situation emerged. Qiu Jian's original power was inevitably dejected and grumbling in private, but a small worm could not make any big waves.
Deep in the trees in the distance, the leaves were shaking slightly. Wen Xi, who was ordered by Wang Yi to protect the Zhen brothers and sisters, could see the whole process clearly. Wen Xi did not expect such a situation to arise, so he immediately climbed up the secret passage on the cliff leading to the top. After a while, he came to a hidden and quiet courtyard on the cliff of the top, and came to Wang Yi.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
