stand back, let me come

Chapter 1264: One Battle to Decide the Southwest (I) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

"Lingde..."

Lin Su suppressed the sweet and fishy taste in her throat that she could hardly suppress.

There seemed to be a gleam in Dianqi's eyes, whether it was emotion or relief, but it was completely suppressed by the stingy owner after a moment: "Why didn't you kill her and expel her in the dream before?"

Except for Lin Su and Lin Feng, other people in the dream will not know their identities at first, but there are exceptions.

For example, classmates at that time.

That time point was carefully chosen by Lin Su.

He hoped that Lin Feng could experience his past completely, know his sorrows, and truly empathize with him. The two siblings might be able to understand each other honestly. However, he did not know Lin Feng well enough. The other party rejected the invitation and killed all the way to the northwest with a sword in hand, crawling back to serve under Shen Tang. The old foxes under Shen Tang were also smart. Lin Su was so wary of him, but he could still conceal the truth and give Lin Su a big surprise. Really...

He lowered his eyelids to hide the excitement that was almost bursting out.

  Yes, so excited!

The heart, which had been calm for many years, was stimulated and started beating non-stop.

Not only did it inject a breath of vitality into her stagnant life, but it also made Lin Su feel the long-lost feeling of being alive.

"Anzhi, your sister's swordsmanship is not that great, but she has quite a few unorthodox skills. She has used poisonous insects to punish those who wanted to bully her in the academy and those parents who failed to educate their children. She never suffered any loss." The Taoist classmate thought of the experience in the dream, and his frown relaxed a little. "It reminds me of your similar stubborn personality when you were studying..."

My classmate in Taoist robe floated to the window.

Trying to feel the warmth of love with this body.

He said frankly: "I really can't beat you."

Because of his special body shape, he can remember a little more than the person in the dream after entering the dream, but only a little, and his actions in the dream are still constrained by behavioral logic. Knowing that he cannot win, he will not risk his life in the dream, after all, a wise man is a wise man.

The difference is that Lin Feng is barefoot in his dream and is not afraid of wearing shoes. He fights to the end. Lin Su is worried and has to learn to bow her head.

I remember that when Lin Su first came to the academy, he was an absolute firecracker. Perhaps he had not yet fully accepted the fact that his family had fallen into poverty and he was living under someone else's roof. At first, when the local nobles mocked him as a foreigner and a peasant, he immediately slammed the table and stood up. So much so that bruises could be seen on his face every now and then. After months of fighting, he finally gave in because his father, brother and clan were targeted.

He was ordered to fetch water, chop wood and make fire before dawn, and to help his classmates with their homework and mend their clothes after dark. He was also subjected to exclusion, ridicule and humiliation on weekdays. He curled up in a corner without saying a word, as if he had lost his life.

Lin Su raised an eyebrow: "Really can't beat him?"

His fellow student in Taoist robes told him an interesting story: "Do you remember the first three people you killed? Your sister made them reincarnate four years earlier with just one look. If I hadn't helped her bury the bodies, she would have buried me, the witness, as well. I can't do it one-on-one."

Lin Su: "..."

He was silent for a while: "The dream world also has to follow rules. Lingde killed three people in advance. How did he avoid investigation?"

The teachers and students in the college in my dreams are not just for show.

When the Taoist classmate thought of this, his expression became more vivid, but it was not joy but grief: "She wanted to frame me at first. Is this how your sister treated the classmate who helped her bury the body? If she hadn't found out early and found a scapegoat, I would have become her scapegoat. You two are indeed siblings. You both share the same hobby of finding scapegoats."

Just to catch him alone.

Lin Su: "..."

The Taoist classmate slowly floated back to Lin Su's side: "You used your sister's identity to approach Shen Youli and others, did you gain anything?"

Lin Su took out a pill from his bosom and swallowed it. The bitterness at the root of his tongue made him frown: "Yes, there is, but it's almost useless."

These are all information from many years ago, and anyone who is interested in investigating can find out.

The Taoist classmate asked, "Who is Shen Youli?"

Lin Su said: "It's not annoying."

With superb intuition, it was clear that the person Shen Tang knew in the dream was him, but the other party always intentionally or unintentionally placed Lin Su on the edge of the core, and with the help of Gu Chi, it was really difficult for Lin Su to get out of the way. Even so, Lin Su could feel the charm of Shen Youli, who was indeed a benevolent and heroic leader worth following.

However, this did not affect Lin Su's standing against her.

The fellow student in Taoist robes said, "Your sister has good taste."

Lin Su asked back: "You said I am blind?"

The Taoist classmates did not comment on this.

As the searchers were still lingering nearby, the two could only continue to hide. The Taoist classmate was bored and wandered around in the small house. He really liked the way the cold soul passed through Lin Su's body, and the latter's brows were physiologically furrowed.

Lin Su temporarily suppressed his injuries and took out a blank scroll.

After finishing, he held the pen between his fangs, rolled up the dried-ink scroll, sealed it, and threw it to his Taoist-robed classmate: "Suck!"

"Lin Anzhi, are you teasing the dog?"

Lin Su put the pen back into the tool box.

The Taoist classmate was so angry that he went back and forth through Lin Su's body, and before the latter got impatient, he flew away with the letter in his arms.

Ordinary people could not see his existence, and his range of activities and time were not restricted, which made him freer than when he was alive. When Lin Su found this, he used him as a coolie and assigned him many odd jobs. No matter how angry his fellow Taoist students were, they had to accept the defeat.

after all--

Only this stupid guy in the world believes in the art of resurrection from the dead. I don’t know whether the cloning mentioned by the gods is reliable.

He muttered, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have died..."

The Taoist classmate rushed back before dawn.

Lin Su had already moved away, so he could only float to catch up.

As a result, we saw Lin Anzhi lying on the river bank, his sword was broken, blood was spreading in the water, and he was seriously injured.

If his chest hadn't been still rising and falling, I would have thought he was dead too.

"Anzhi, are you alive?"

Lin Su gritted his teeth, grasped the arrow shaft on his shoulder and pushed it into the flesh until the arrowhead pierced through the flesh and emerged from the other end. He chopped off the arrowhead with one hand, took out the arrow shaft, and removed the necrotic flesh with his bare hands, rinsed it lightly and sprinkled medicine on it. The whole process was so scary to watch.

"One breath left."

His fellow students in Taoist robes were curious as to why he looked so miserable.

Lin Su's face was calm, as if she didn't feel any pain. "After you left, someone came to search for us. When I was escaping, a general shot me with an arrow. I fell off the cliff with the arrow and floated here. That general was Lingde's good senior brother."

The fellow student in Taoist robes made a judgment: "He showed mercy?"

Lin Su said: "It's a fatal move."

In order to protect himself, Lin Su forced himself to use the Way of the Scholar, which made Tu Rong's arrow miss. Otherwise, he would not have come here, but his head would have been hung at the gate of Kangguo's camp. Considering his status, he might be able to be buried with his whole body.

His classmates in Taoist robes made gestures of praise to him.

"First, he broke up with his elder brother, and then he broke off relations with his own sister..."

How could Lin Su not hear the sarcasm in his words? She ignored his objection and forcibly took back the seal: "Shut up!"

Without each other, it is indeed a lot quieter.

Lin Su staggered to her feet.

  However, he chose to head north instead of the central part of the country. There is only one country in this direction!

It was Kangguo, his next destination. To be more precise, he was looking for someone.

Qi Yuanliang, the head of the Northwest branch who also had access to the cloning information of the Society of the Gods, is currently the regent of Kang State.

Can that information affect the outcome of this battle for Kangguo?

That's none of his concern.

Whether it was Kangguo, the Southwest Allied Forces, or any other force in the world, in his eyes, they were no different, just pieces of rotten meat that attracted animals that loved carrion. Their continuation and demise were always based on endless bloodshed, relying on absorbing the flesh and blood of countless living people to bloom seductively...

It's absolutely terrible.

It would be better to sleep in dreams forever and never wake up again.

At least, in dreams there will be no pain, death, separation, exploitation, oppression, or cruelty... The elderly will have someone to rely on, the young will be taken care of, and the widowed, the orphaned, and the lonely will not be treated as a burden and abandoned or sacrificed at will.

The search team ultimately failed to catch Lin Su.

Tu Rong ordered his attendants: "Don't tell Junior Sister about this."

The left and right responded: "Yes!"

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Kangguo was busy cramming for the exam, and the Southwest Allied Forces were also mobilizing frequently to formulate a military strategy. Shen Wuyou Tang was also entrusted with an important task, responsible for dispatching troops and coordinating the main attack. The title sounded good, but Shen Tang looked over and turned to find the current confidant of the King of Qi, the head of the Cui family, who was on the same boat with her, to discuss an explanation.

Cui Zhi heard the noise and came out.

In his hand he held a newly-opened scroll.

"What's all the commotion?"

As soon as Cui Zhi heard the voice, he knew it was Zhongli Fu.

Shen Wuyou Tang put one hand on his waist, pretending to argue with someone: "Of course they come to disturb me because of something important. I don't know which shameless person has set me up. The master asked me to lead a group of troops to support him, but when I went over to take a look, I suspected that someone treated my place as a garbage collection place and threw all kinds of garbage here. The boat is patched up and the people are all crooked."

Cui Zhi also has the power to dispatch troops.

I don't believe he knows nothing about this.

What? Are you planning to use her as cannon fodder?

Shen Wuyoutang's eyes fell on the secret letter in Cui Zhi's hand, and he said unreasonably, "Tsk tsk, could it be this letter?"

It's no wonder Shen Tang thought so. Official letters have a format, and the one in Cui Zhi's hand was obviously a private letter. The war was about to start, and Cui Zhi would not choose this time to communicate with his friends. The content inside was mostly military-related.

Cui Zhi was not fooled by the dirty water thrown by Shen Tang.

He said, "Nonsense."

Shen Tang was dissatisfied: "Malicious suppression is nonsense?"

Cui Zhi could only agree to let Shen Tang tell his master to seriously investigate the matter - in fact, there was no need to investigate. The deployment of troops in Qi State was not decided by the king alone. The real elite troops belonged to the major generals. "Zhongli Fu" had a weak foundation, and even if the king wanted to support her, it was impossible for her to be given a large number of elite troops.

We can only smooth things over.

Shen Tang watched Cui Zhi leave in a hurry.

He winked at Cui Mi and said, "Outsiders have the beauty trap, and we have the filial son trap. At the critical moment, I rely on you to find out."

Cui Mi: “…No need to ask.”

His expression was complicated and conflicted.

Ever since Shen Tang appeared, the future he saw often changed suddenly, and he no longer had the certainty that fate could not be changed.

Cui Mi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He said, "That letter was sent by the Central Branch."

"Central... branch?"

Cui Mi: "My father is the head of the Southwest Branch. Although we don't see each other often, as the head, we still have exchanges with other branches. We share resources and information, and form alliances and so on."

Shen Tang subconsciously thought of Lin Su.

"What's written in it?"

Cui Mi was silent after hearing her matter-of-fact tone, and then answered the question irrelevantly: "After all, he is my father, and as a son, it is not good for me to betray him too thoroughly. I don't know the specific content, but I only know that this is a confidential intelligence report provided by the Central Department on the deployment of Kangguo's troops. Its accuracy is very high..."

It was so serious that Cui Mi suspected that there was a traitor in Kangguo.

Shen Tang just said "oh" and was not in a hurry at all.

Plan A was scrapped, but it didn't matter, she still had plans B, C, and D. The person who betrayed the plan could basically be locked on Lin Su. If Lin Su knew that he had been caught by her while smuggling intelligence to the Southwest Allied Forces, how would he feel? Inexplicably, a spider worked hard all day and night to weave a web, but in the end, a naughty child got stuck on it.

Cui Zhi hurried to see the King of Qi.

"My Lord, I have something to report."

The King of Qi looked up at him and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui, please go first."

"Someone presented a map of Kangguo's defense yesterday."

As he said this, he handed over the letter.

The ruler of Qi State could see the letter mark at a glance. This mark meant that the secret letter was sent through the channel of the Society of the Gods. As the ruler of the state, she naturally knew that the Society of the Gods had attracted the hearts of countless warlords and rulers. As long as she could afford the price, she could use this platform to recruit heroes from all over the world to serve her. The fact that Qi State was what it is today also had a deep connection with the Society of the Gods.

Apart from anything else, the head of the Southwest Branch is still her important official.

She was in no hurry to open it.

Instead, she told Cui Zhi the news she had just received.

She said, "I heard that there was a rebellion among the Immortals in Tianqing County. This place was just hit by a hurricane, and the officials were incompetent, so the plague was spreading. But those bastards were afraid of being held accountable, so they concealed the news. The land was full of starving people, and the people were living in misery. This just happened to give the Immortals a handle to cause chaos... As far as I know, Cui Qing's mother-in-law, the old lady Cui, is practicing in Tianqing County."

Cui Zhi's expression was blank for a moment.

Regardless of the environment, he suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

The King of Qi knew why he had this reaction.

Cui Hui and Cui Zhi have been divorced for many years, but Cui Hui's family - her mother, brothers and sisters - did not leave Qi State. Instead, they chose to settle down in Tianqing County and have had little contact with her former son-in-law's family in recent years.

When Tianqing County was besieged, ordinary people in the territory were the first to suffer.

  If Cui Hui received the news, would he be able to sit still?

So, Cui Zhi couldn't sit still anymore.

The King of Qi finally announced the outcome: "The regent has sent troops to suppress the rebellion. Old Lady Cui will be safe and sound."

Cui Zhi did not stop.

"What Mr. Cui is really worried about is that when your wife hears that her biological mother is surrounded, she will rush to rescue her and end up getting herself involved?"
