Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 696: If the discord fails, will both sides perish?

"What, you don't believe it?"

Outside the capital, in the dark night, the sky was filled with flames, but it was surprisingly quiet.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had strict discipline and obeyed orders, so no one spoke until several commanders spoke.

On the other side, the number of people under the command of Prince Dongping is now pitifully small, even less than a thousand. With such a huge gap between the enemy and us, how dare these people make a noise? So the scene fell into silence for a while, but it was a little weird under this situation.

The lame Taoist withdrew his gaze and said to himself: "The laws of nature are constant. They do not exist for the sake of Yao, nor do they perish for the sake of Jie."

"The Great Kang Dynasty has been established for a hundred years. It has been peaceful for a long time and the people have lived and worked in peace. But since the birth of Champion Marquis Jia Hong, everything has been in chaos."

Perhaps it was because these things were extremely taboo, so when the lame old Taoist spoke of them, even the eyes of the Prince of Dongping beside him began to flicker. It was not difficult to see that at this moment, the prince was also not at peace.

"In the beginning, he served in the Liaodong Army. In a short period of time, he wiped out the Jianzhou Jurchens. His methods were cruel and outrageous. The Jianzhou Jurchens were exterminated by him."

Speaking of this, the corners of King Dongping's mouth twitched twice. He usually thought that his methods were cruel, but he would never do such a thing as exterminating an entire clan.

However, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry did not take this matter seriously. They came from the battlefield and most of them were from Liaodong Town, and they had a long-standing feud with the Jurchens. Jia Hong's actions might be too much for others, but for them, it was very gratifying.

"The foreigners killed my people, my wife and children, they deserve to be killed!!"

Xu Yuanhui narrowed his eyes. He did not deny that Jia Hong's method was too cruel, but in his heart he approved of Jia Hong's approach.

The surrounding Great Snow Dragon Cavalry seemed to have sensed something and shared a common hatred for the enemy.

"Deserves to be killed!!"

The lame old Taoist stroked his goatee with his hand, not caring at all about the reaction of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. He just laughed.

"As expected of someone who came out of Shura Field, he has a strong murderous nature."

At this point, his voice changed.

"Unfortunately, Jianzhou is the eye of the storm in the north. Jia Hong slaughtered all the people in Jianzhou, which seemed to have opened the switch of the eye of the storm. Without suppression, the eye of the storm became a gust of cold wind that destroyed the world, leaving the people of Dakang homeless and without any harvest. Some even had to eat their own children. Have you ever thought about who was to blame for this incident?"

The lame old Taoist said this with a tone of compassion, but it stands to reason that this man, who is used to seeing life and death in the world and practices the way of heaven, would not have too many fluctuations about life and death.

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Yuanhui and others were suddenly shaken. For the first time in their lives, they felt that what the other party said made sense. Karma is cyclical, and retribution will come. Could it be that it was really because of their initial actions that led to the subsequent tragedy?

"You are all Jia Hong's personal guards. You should know how many people Jia Hong has killed in the past few years in the Nine Frontiers. When has this Marquis ever shown a trace of compassion?"

He spoke in a leisurely and unhurried tone, and there seemed to be a kind of magic in his experienced voice, which made people unconsciously feel that it was indeed the case.

“That’s the enemy!!”

Several commanders headed by Xu Yuanhui frowned. Even though what the old Taoist said made sense, they still felt something was not right. Xu Yuanhui was silent for a moment and then spoke again.

"Indeed, there is no need to show mercy or kindness to the enemy, but do you think that with Lord Jia's ability, when he took action, he had already guessed the consequences of his actions?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuanhui and others fell silent. In their hearts, they always believed that Jia Hong was omniscient and omnipotent.

So when the old Taoist priest talked about this, they didn't even suspect that Jia Hong didn't know about this matter, but that he knew it and had always known it.

"If he knew, he still didn't change his mind and chose to massacre the Jurchens. Then, was the knife in his hand aimed at the foreigners or the people of Dakang?"

Hearing the words of the lame Taoist priest, Xu Yuanhui and others' faces changed. It is said that the evil Taoist priests are accustomed to telling lies to confuse the people and mislead their minds. They just thought it was lies and nonsense.

But today, they finally saw it. Killing the enemy and protecting the country was originally the duty and mission of the soldiers, but in the other side, it became a disaster for the country and the people, with evil intentions.

The next moment, several commanders headed by Xu Yuanhui felt a sudden heat in their hearts, as if burned by fire. Although it was short-lived, the pain was real and made them wake up all of a sudden.

"wrong!!"

No matter how confused the commanders were, they realized that something was wrong. From the moment this old Taoist started talking, they fell into his trap and were led into the snare step by step.

"You old thief, you're looking for death!!"

Tie Niu roared loudly, his voice like thunder and the roar of a Buddhist lion, which directly destroyed the atmosphere created by the lame old Taoist priest.

The stars were shining brightly, and the lame old Taoist sighed softly.

"Pity"

The next moment, the lame old Taoist priest disappeared on the spot like a phantom.

Several commanders present were shocked and thought something bad was going to happen.

But then they reacted in the same way.

"fry!!"

There were a few roars like thunder, followed by an earth-shaking movement.

Lame old Taoist, the Marquis' Mansion had already informed them before they took action.

This person might be the culprit who caused Jia Hong's disappearance. He is also a cultivator. If they fight with real swords and guns, they will definitely not be his match.

Therefore, there was only one sentence in the secret report from the Marquis' Mansion: things cannot be violated and thunder bombs can be used.

Therefore, what these commanders just shouted was not "war" but "bombing", which is also the literal meaning.

Since they can't hide anymore, they won't take any chances. For the capital city right now, the biggest threat in the open is the rebel army of Prince Dongping.

This lame old Taoist hid behind the scenes and did not show up, which means that it was inconvenient or impossible for the other party to stand in front of the stage. Of course, if the other party stood in front of the stage and took action personally, they would not be able to stop him.

However, their target tonight was not the other side, but the remnants of the Dongping King's army.

The lame old Taoist was none other than Taoist Miaomiao. However, when he saw the barracks that were directly covered by thunder bombs, his face turned gloomy.

He did not expect that Jia Hong's personal guards would act so decisively and quickly, so that in the situation just now, the only person he could save was Prince Dongping.

"What a perfect plan!!"

The old Taoist's eyes moved slightly. In this situation, King Dongping's troops were completely wiped out, and not many of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry would survive. Tonight was considered a gain, so he did not stay here any longer. He grabbed King Dongping who was already frightened aside, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

About half an incense stick of time passed, and bursts of coughing sounds were heard from here one after another.

"Didn't they say that each person only throws one?"

"Damn it, do you want to die with these bastards?"

"Fuck you!!"
