kill the immortal

Chapter 65 64, you don't want to?
Early in the morning, Yu Jingtang, Shen Tuying, Pei Shihe, Yao Chongshen, and Zhao Hanqin were hurriedly called into the palace.

Inside the Fuluan Hall.

The queen threw down a secret military report, and her face was a little ugly.

Several people picked it up and looked at it together, each with disbelief on their faces.

"Wen Ying lost the battle?!"

"how can that be!"

Seeing the reactions of several ministers, Tianhou frowned and asked, "What is the origin of the leader of the rebels?"

Seeing this, Yao Chongshen hurriedly said: "Hou Tianhou, that person's name is Pei Xiao, his ancestral home is in Youzhou, and his ancestors are all military. He joined the army when he was young, and Zheng Zhuoming single-handedly picked him up."

"Pei Xiao, Pei Xiao..." Tian Hou muttered the name.

Yu Jingtang looked at the text on the secret report solemnly. After receiving the order, Wen Ying quickly dispatched the vanguard to counter the rebellion, and [-] troops followed behind.

But I don't want the vanguard army to lose the first battle first, the main army encountered an ambush on the way, and returned in a big defeat. The main general Wen Ying was also injured before the battle.

Although Yanzhou has a garrison army, the total number is only a few thousand. Because Xuantang soldiers are special troops wearing armor, the total number is not that many.

Kill treacherous ministers, kill demon queens!

Yu Jingtang suddenly had a premonition that behind this rebellion, it was not just that simple.

"Tianhou, the most urgent task is to regroup and dispatch troops to counter the rebellion!" Shentu Ying said.

"Who are you sending?" Tianhou asked.

According to the military situation, Wen Ying was seriously injured and could no longer command in front of the battle.

Everyone was silent, Shentu Ying said, "Wu Shiwei."

Tianhou glanced at the rest of the people again: "What do you think?"

"Wu Shiwei takes on this task!" Several people said one after another.

This is also the background of Shentu Ying's subordinates, but apart from Shentu Ying, they have no real say in the matter of marching and fighting.

The Queen of Heaven said again: "This secret report, how should I tell the ministers at the court meeting?"

"You can keep it secret and not announce it, and then announce it when Wu Shiwei wipes out the rebels." Pei Shihe said.

Hearing the words, Tian Hou frowned and thought about it, and suddenly asked: "What if Wu Shiwei also loses?"

Yu Jingtang said: "The rebel army is far inferior to us in terms of scale and ordnance. This trip must have given them an opportunity because Wen Ying carelessly underestimated the enemy. Wu Shiwei has a lesson from the past and will never make the same mistake again."

"Retire... Duke Zhen stays behind."

Yu Jingtang, Pei Shihe and others resigned one after another, leaving only Shentu Ying here.

Tianhou stood there and stared at Shentu Ying: "Do you think Wen Ying really lost because of carelessness?"

Shen Tuying looked calm, and said after hearing the words: "I have read in the newspaper that the armaments of Wen Ying's army are only the vanguard's ordnance and equipment, and the Yanzhou army cannot be the opponent. For thousands of miles, the Yanzhou army waited for work with ease, and defeated Wen Ying's vanguard head-on."

"Why is that?" Tianhou asked calmly.

"I don't know either."

"You really don't know?"

"...some guesses, but it's too absurd to say."

"Say!"

Shentu Ying was silent for a while before he said: "The first possibility is that Pei Xiao's Yanzhou rebels have expanded their armaments, and they already have a strength no less than ours, but military items have always been firmly controlled by us. It is even more impossible for the Institute of Technology to subsidize them."

Tianhou was expressionless: "Continue talking."

"The second possibility is that Wen Ying lost on purpose. Being ambushed is justified, but in a frontal battle, the vanguard army alone is enough to wipe out countless Yanzhou rebels, unless the first possibility is established."

Tianhou watched Shentu Ying closely: "Didn't you bring Wen Ying out by yourself?"

Shentu Ying's expression was indifferent: "I know people and faces but don't know my heart. I also said this. I also think this kind of thing is absurd."

The queen was silent for a long time.

"Preach my will, let Wen Ying come to God to heal her wounds!"

After Shentu won away, An Yan came out from behind the screen.

"How credible is what he said?"

In terms of state affairs, An Yan's understanding is not as good as Tianhou's, but he also knows that if the rebellion is not put down quickly, it will affect the overall situation in the future.

Tian Hou said: "We'll know when Wen Ying comes."

After thinking about it, An Yan said, "Aren't you afraid that Shentu Ying will lie to you?"

Tianhou took a look at An Yan, and said calmly: "In this world, he is the only one who can never betray me!"

On the second day, An Yan got another news.

Shentu Ying sent his own son, Shentu Junshi, to follow Wu Shiwei to the battlefield.

This also made An Yan let go of her doubts about Shentu Ying.

Xuantang sits in the land of Kyushu, and rebellion has happened, but the end result is all the same, no one can make a difference.

The power possessed by the royal family is too strong, just the guardians of Tiangongyuan and Shendu are enough to forcefully suppress any rebels.

When the first emperor came to the throne, he also encountered a large-scale rebellion. The strength of the rebel army at that time was far greater than the present, but he personally led the army to put down all of them.

An Yan is not worried about this.

Inside the Purple Orchid Hall.

"You heard about Wen Ying's defeat?" An Yan said, looking at Xuan Yi.

"It's not difficult for those who want to know." Master Xuanyi's voice was clear and his eyes were clear. "After a while, all the officials in Luoyang will know about it."

"Will it affect our plan?" An Yan asked.

Master Xuanyi shook his head, and then said: "I have seen that Pei Xiao."

An Yan was slightly surprised.

"When I was young, I used to travel with us... the Taoist mother of Xuanzhen Sect Zhenzong, and I met that Pei Xiao at that time."

"My Taoist mother saved his life, so he regarded her as a true immortal in the world. He wanted to worship under my Xuanzhen sect, but was rejected."

An Yan thought that Master Xuanyi once said that Xuanzhen Sect does not accept male disciples, and he is not considered a member of Xuanzhen Sect in the strict sense.

"Then what kind of person is Pei Xiao?"

"Forget it. At that time, I didn't think he had any ambitions, so much so that he personally killed his mentor Zheng Zhuoming." Xuanyi said.

Seeing that An Yan was thinking, she thought he was worried about something, so she said: "Don't worry, you don't know the true power of Xuantang, no one can really overthrow this country, and the Yanzhou rebels can't do it. Otherwise, I would not dare to open the Three Realms Gate, Xuan Tang is the root of suppressing those monks outside the pass."

An Yan smiled and said, "Of course I'm not worried."

"Ah."

"By the way, in a few days, I'm going to get married." An Yan said again.

"..."

"Until now, is there still no way for me and my future wife to consummate the house?"

Master Xuanyi looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you care about such things?"

An Yan shrugged and said, "After all, it is a gift in life, she is my wife."

"She's just a mortal."

"I can take her to practice."

"..."

An Yan looked at Master Xuanyi thoughtfully: "You don't want to?"
