Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 533 Planning
Hearing the title "Master Immortal", Wu Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, revealing a surprised expression.

But he didn't deny it.

Afterwards, she watched Wang Luo walk to her side with a smile. She did not ask why the high and mighty envoy would suddenly visit Liuyan City, nor did she show him the respectful attitude that a commoner should show when meeting an important person as usual. She just reached out and stroked her pet, which was obviously in a state of anxiety, while asking.

"Where did I reveal my flaws?"

Wang Luo said: "Strictly speaking, I already suspected you when you tempted me to kill Yang Zhao."

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously: "So early!?"

Then he was relieved: "Well, now that I think about it, the performance at that time was indeed a bit far-fetched. Yang Zhao went to Fenghu to look for the seal star jade. Although he did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, for the people in the Liuli Network, the moment he stepped out of the country, Yang Zhao was almost non-existent... How could he be discovered by a mountain girl with the help of a little snake? It's a pity that I really couldn't think of any other way at that time, but why didn't you say it at that time?"

Wang Luo sighed, "Although I had some doubts about you at that time, I couldn't rule out the possibility that you might have a special blessing of luck. I have similar luck, but it can't be used as any evidence. Besides, even if I catch you, what can I do? You were helping me at that time after all. Since you didn't reveal your identity, why not keep it a secret for a while? However, when your master used the Record of Exiled Immortals to kill the Wonderful Golden Immortal at the foot of the East Capital, I will review the whole process from the beginning. Many seemingly ingenious arrangements will have traces to follow, and among them, your presence is particularly strong."

Wu Qing chuckled, her face showing a kind of simplicity that only a mountain girl can have: "The master has been planning for hundreds of years in this mortal world, just to get rid of those old world golden immortals who are hindering the grand plan. This plan is a life-and-death plan, and there is no room for error. It is far from solid and reliable to rely on him to indirectly lay out the plan in the upper realm. Someone must cooperate and respond in the mortal world... However, the golden immortal qualifications of the Xi and Zhen families are far deeper than the master, and their spies are spread all over the four states. It is not easy to hide from their eyes and ears. He just wants to send the deposed immortal record to It cost a huge price to enter the human world, and it was even more of a pipe dream to directly plant people there... During the decades when he went down to the human world on his own, almost every move was closely watched by the Golden Immortal. But thanks to this, the Record of the Deposed Immortal was hidden even deeper. At the same time, those immortals who had not been closely related to him in the past, or even had unfriendly relations with him, also had the opportunity to go down to the human world. It was at that time that I arranged my reincarnation in the human world, and then quietly went down to the human world in a few decades. Haha, in terms of planning, he is still far better than those old guys with rotten brains. "

While listening, Wang Luo looked at the girl in front of him with some curiosity.

Even though he had long guessed that she was a partner arranged by the Lord of Heaven in the mortal world, and must have the cultivation of a true immortal... but no matter how he observed her, she did not reveal the slightest trace of immortal charm, and was no different from an ordinary mountain girl.

Therefore, Wang Luo suddenly realized: "Could it be that you really..."

Wu Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am a reincarnated person. I have completely given up my immortal cultivation and become an ordinary person. In this way, no matter how sharp the eyes and ears of the Golden Immortal of Miaofa are, they can't catch me."

Wang Luo couldn't help but be surprised: "You are so willing to do this? Just to cooperate with his plan in the mortal world? Are you two..."

Wu Qing said, "Don't guess, he and I are both getting what we need. Immortal cultivation may be a priceless treasure to others, but no matter how good a treasure is, it will become boring if you keep it for tens of thousands of years. I have been an immortal for too long, and I can neither break through to the Star Sea Realm as Chi Cheng promised, nor fall with the Heavenly Court during the heavenly calamity... This state of being neither up nor down should have ended long ago."

Wang Luo was somewhat puzzled. Wu Qing's implication was that she had long since reached the state of being immortal despite all the disasters? She was even better than the ordinary immortals with wonderful skills... How could such a person have the idea of ​​"getting tired of playing and not playing anymore"? Moreover, for such an immortal, the so-called "reincarnation" could not erase her wonderful immortal spirit. After her death as a mortal, she would only be reborn as a half-immortal, which was far from being an "end".

However, Wu Qing obviously did not intend to elaborate on this topic, and asked with a smile: "So, you came here just to capture me? Then you may be disappointed. Although I have retained some memories before reincarnation, the capacity of a mortal body is limited, and my memories have long been incomplete. And my cooperation with him ended the moment the Record of the Exiled Immortal appeared in the world. After that, I just have to enjoy my life as a mortal in peace, and I can't help you... You still need to find a way to deal with this beast tide."

Wang Luo said: "If it's just a beast tide, it has never been a problem. Prince Ling's ability to command the army is beyond doubt, and Xinheng's national strength does not need to be afraid of a mere beast tide. Moreover, if Xinheng can't hold on any longer, I will naturally ask the Immortal Alliance to send out its main force to save it. In other words, no matter how Prince Ling performs on the battlefield, the Immortal Alliance will always have to show up in the end to make its presence felt..."

Wu Qing asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that this is some remnant of the Heavenly Court luring the snake out of the hole, deliberately arranged to lure the main force of your Immortal Alliance out of the Dinghuang barrier?"

The spirit pet in the girl's arms turned its head curiously when it heard the word "snake", but Wu Qing reached out and moved it back.

"Forget it, this is also a stupid question. Since you are his successor, you naturally have a tacit understanding with him. Now the changes in the world in Mingmo and Zhou, as well as the beast tide, are partly forced by the Xianmeng's pioneering and Tongming Road; and partly the remnants of the Xi and Zhen families are making a last-ditch effort. But this last attempt is nothing but self-deception. They dare not go down to the world in person, and even dare not drive the beast tide to attack the Xianmeng... I'm afraid they don't really want to obstruct the general trend, but purely to give an explanation to those masters who were written off. Therefore, although the current war situation is not optimistic, the situation of Xinheng has actually been determined. However, according to what the Lord said before, when the overall situation of Xinheng is determined, the real difficulties will begin..."

Having said these pretentious words, Wu Qing suddenly stopped talking, and the spirit snake in his arms began to become restless.

At the same time, there was a flash of starlight in the sky, as if a dense meteor shower was coming towards us.

In the light, the voice of Prince Ling Gan Fengxian came from far away, very respectful.

"This king pays homage to the Immortal Alliance's envoy..."

The respectful words were only halfway through when the voice suddenly wavered and the starlight above his head dimmed. Gan Fengxian, who was running at full speed, seemed to have lost control of his true energy and accelerated all the way down from midair. Fortunately, the soldiers beside him were quick-witted and raised a soft cloud to hold him up in time, and managed to slow down before landing, so that he did not fall headfirst into the ground.

However, when the clouds dispersed, Gan Fengxian was seen barely maintaining his standing position, his head naturally drooping down, and snoring slightly. Several personal guards beside him looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing what to do, and not daring to speak first.

Wang Luo did not make things difficult for them. He just turned his head to the side, indicating that they did not need to worry about him and should take care of the coach first.

Several personal soldiers were as if they had been pardoned, and hurriedly carried Gan Fengxian into the small courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Then one of them took out a golden lotus from the storage bag and planted it, and immediately set up a small lotus platform with a roof. The roots at the bottom of the lotus platform went straight into the underground spiritual veins, extracting a continuous stream of pure spiritual power, which turned into a clear mist on the platform. The mist seemed to contain infinite vitality, and almost at the moment of rising, it gave the already withered courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion a new lease of life.

The personal guards carefully placed Gan Fengxian on the stage in the water mist, which immediately made the skin exposed outside the armor look shiny and smoother... But it could also be seen that Gan Fengxian looked a little haggard before.

A closer look revealed that it was more than just withered. Although Gan Fengxian was wearing a bright starlight armor, and when he flew with the light, he looked like an imposing celestial official in heaven... but in fact, the starlight outside the armor had long been disordered and erratic, and there was a faint smell of decay between some of the gaps between the armor pieces. It was obvious that the person wearing the armor was not only tired and withered, but also seriously injured.

Wang Luo was not surprised by this, nor did he urge him. He just waited patiently beside the lotus platform. Not long after, Gan Fengxian woke up in the mist, groaned in pain, and then struggled up from the platform to salute Wang Luo.

"Forget it, forget it."

Gan Fengxian was not polite either. He let out a long sigh and lay back down, saying with a wry smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Excellency, for my embarrassing situation."

Wang Luo really laughed and said, "It's a little ridiculous indeed. If it were a few months ago, you would never risk your life fighting a wild beast until you were seriously injured...even if it was just acting."

Upon hearing the act, two personal soldiers glared at Wang Luo with naked murderous intent in their bodies.

If the master humiliates the minister, he will die, even if he is the master of the master!
Fortunately, Gan Fengxian stopped his men's insanity in time: "This is a joke from the envoy, you... please retreat first!"

With just a simple sentence, the soldiers around him restrained their aura without hesitation and retreated quietly like dead stardust.

Only Wang Luo and Gan Fengxian were left in the courtyard.

At this point, Gan Fengxian said, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency. Those two are from the Xiang Army and are not aware of many things."

Wang Luo nodded indifferently, and then praised: "I just captured Yu Hong in Fancheng, and the military order has not been officially issued yet, but you have already recruited the elite of the Xiang Army as your personal soldiers. This method is really worthy of admiration."

Gan Fengxian sighed softly, "I am really ashamed of what you said. The means of subduing these elite Xiang troops were just acting. Whether it was the deliberate issuance of some specious military orders in the early stage, which caused the Xiang troops to suffer repeated setbacks and thus aroused doubts and rebellion. Or three days ago, knowing that Yu Qi would not obey orders, I still ordered the entire army to launch a surprise attack on the King of Wild Beasts, but ultimately failed to complete the task... and two days ago, the Xiang army was surrounded by a group of beasts, and I personally led my troops to rescue them. During the period, I was 'unfortunately' seriously injured while saving friendly forces. The whole process was nothing but calculation and acting, but people from the Xiang army are generally simple-minded and are most susceptible to this. A gentleman can be deceived by his own methods, and I just acted as a villain once."

Wang Luo was a little amused: "You still care about this? Why, after becoming a prince, your moral standards have also risen?"

Gan Fengxian said calmly: "The times are different now. Since I am a prince, I have to change my ways. Only in this way can I win the support of the people."

Wang Luo carefully looked at the old general in front of him and found that he was indeed less violent than when he was surnamed Li. He was really reborn. Although he knew that Gan Fengxian was just hiding his anger in his heart, if a person could hide his anger for a lifetime, he would be a living Buddha. Moreover, he had a kind face, but he used all means to subdue the Xiang army from top to bottom... It can only be said that without the suppression of the Yang family, and with the help of Wang Luo, the special envoy of the Immortal Alliance, Gan Fengxian was indeed completely different from the past.

"So, after conquering the Xiang army, are you confident that you can hold on to the battle?"

Gan Fengxian said: "In the short term, we may be a little stretched. After all, the beast tide is too fierce, and the casualties in our surprise attack three days ago were very heavy. Even if we subdue the Xiang army, it will not help the overall situation. But in the medium term, since the envoy has already captured Yu Hong, it should be a natural thing for me to completely bring the Xiang army under my command. With the Xiang army as the backbone, I am confident that I can hold up the overall situation and gradually fight back."

"Is Xiangjun so reliable?"

Gan Fengxian said: "As long as the Xiang army can be used as I command, they are reliable. Dashengguan has been managing the three western counties for hundreds of years, and its foundation is much stronger than that of the four southern counties managed by Duke Feng. The combat power of the Xiang army is no less than that of the Qingqi army, and even better than that of the imperial army. It is really difficult for my Xing army to compare with it. And I am afraid that the Qingqi army will never be used by me. So now in Xinheng, the most reliable is the Xiang army. And in order to subdue such a strong army, I would not hesitate to lose a hand or a foot, not to mention that it is still a long way from losing a hand or a foot..."

Wang Luo asked again: "If you need, the Qingqi Army can also be under your command."

Gan Fengxian shook his head and declined. "No need for that. I know that I can't lead a large army with as many troops as possible. Taking care of both the Star Army and the Fragrant Army at the same time is basically my limit. But as long as we can successfully get through the early and middle stages, force the King of Wild Beasts to temporarily retreat, and make both sides enter a long-term stalemate, there will be no need for me to lead the army alone on the front line. After gaining enough reputation here, it would be best to return the war and military affairs to the general who is best at leading the troops."

Wang Luo praised again: "You are quite sober."

Gan Fengxian said, "With the great calamity approaching, I really cannot afford to be careless... Besides, the envoy has come all the way here, so he must be reminding me of something, right?"

Wang Luo nodded: "Yes, the plan we made before may need some fine-tuning of the details. The Immortal Alliance will most likely have to enter the battlefield in advance."
