From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 146: Shao Siming's followers; everyone in the Xiongnu can kill them

The bent bone knife instantly became hard!

clang!
In an instant, Yanri was summoned out in time and intercepted it accurately.

Lianxiang was slightly stunned, and then she felt a sharp force coming towards her, and immediately pulled down the blue tent around her to protect herself.

Bah~~
The blue tent was cut into countless pieces by the fierce wind. The flying bone knives came out like poisonous snakes and instantly stabbed the place where Wu Fengdeng was lying originally.

But it was empty by then.

Wu Fengdeng stood not far away, looking coldly at Lianxiang on the bed: "A lackey of the Yin-Yang family? Or was he sent by Yan Ju?"

The only ones who have a grudge against him now are the Yin-Yang family and Yan Ju. This girl has been targeting him from the very beginning, and it is obvious that this was premeditated.

Maybe the purple wooden hairpin that flew over here was the starting point for the tampering!
"Haha, I really underestimated you. It's really rare for you to force yourself out of my lustful dream."

Lianxiang sneered, but her face suddenly twisted and changed into that of an old man, and then changed again.

Old people, children, men and women, her face changes all the time, only her voice remains the same, which is really weird.

Not only that, when Wu Fengdeng saw the bone knife in her hand, he felt a little scalp-tingling.

It was obvious that the bone knife was a spine pulled out from a human corpse, still with some broken flesh and blood on it. It was three meters long and coiled like a circling poisonous snake.

At least there must be three or four people's spines!
Wu Fengdeng frowned slightly, finding it hard to imagine how cruel this man's methods were.

"Wu Fengdeng, the road ahead is long and the mountains are high. Your life will eventually belong to our Yin-Yang family."

"And Ying Zheng, don't think that we, the Yin-Yang family, are really afraid of the Qin State. We will settle all the accounts with you soon!"

She spoke jokingly, with a mocking look on her constantly changing face.

欻!
Almost in an instant, the ferocious wolf head that covered the sun touched the tip of her nose. If it was half an inch closer, it would have taken her life.

Wu Fengdeng would not waste time talking to her. Since he knew that she was a lackey of the Yin-Yang family, he would just kill her indiscriminately!
Although the woman had been prepared for such a rapid speed, she was still inevitably scratched in the corner of her eye by Wu Fengdeng.

Bang!
But there was a loud bang, and she smashed the nearest wooden wall and escaped, while the flying pieces of torn blue cloth just blocked Wu Fengdeng's sight.

In a moment, she disappeared into the night.

"Running pretty fast."

Wu Fengdeng looked at the scarlet blood on the tip of the gun and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

This woman is too cunning and treacherous!
He could clearly feel that the other party's realm was also in the early stage of Tuodan realm, so if it was just about combat power, she would definitely not be his opponent.

The other party also understood this point very well, so she used Furong Pavilion to set an ambush and used bewitching methods to deal with me. The key is that she almost succeeded!
Her pitiful acting at the beginning and her unmoved attitude towards my sudden temptation showed how meticulous her mind was.

When Wu Fengdeng discovered her plan, she decisively broke through the wall and escaped without any hesitation. Such clever behavior further proved how terrifying this woman was, and she even frightened him more than Shaoding whom he had met before.

"what!!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp scream outside!
Wu Fengdeng immediately opened the door and looked down from the corridor. He saw the fat old procuress slumped on the ground on the first floor below. Her face was pale and some brown liquid was still flowing under her skirt. She was pointing at a storage room in front.

"Kill...kill!" The fat on her face was trembling.

Wu Fengdeng jumped down directly and stood at the door looking inside.

It was dark, cluttered, and filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood, while a naked corpse lay on the ground.

However, the corpse was as limp as mud, as if it had no bones. When he turned over, he saw that the hideous face was exactly that of Lianxiang!
"It turns out that the real Lianxiang had died here a long time ago, and was replaced by that woman." Wu Fengdeng looked relieved.

"What happened?"

At this time, Guo Huan and others heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the limp corpse on the ground, their pupils trembled slightly.

"Something's going on. Someone from the Yin-Yang family has infiltrated."

Wu Fengdeng spoke in a deep voice. Guo Huan and the others froze in their expressions for a moment when they heard his words, and then quickly became serious.

The Yin-Yang Family is now the number one enemy of the Qin State. Their appearance here at this critical moment must be up to no good.

Soon their eyes turned to the old procuress next to them, who was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sir, Sir! It's none of my business!"

"I don't know anything, but I have no intention of harming you.

When she knelt down, many flower girls beside her also cried out in grief and miserably.

Wu Fengdeng looked at each of them coldly, especially at the corners of their eyes, and stopped only after he made sure that no one had any injuries there.

There was no way. After witnessing the woman's superb acting skills and perfect disguise, he was now extremely wary of everyone he met.

"I'm going to meet the general. Please tell everyone that the Yin Yang family is good at disguise, so be careful with them."

Before the Yin-Yang School completely broke off relations with the Qin State, they appeared on the battlefield just to kill themselves.

But from what the woman said just now, it seemed that she was not here specifically to assassinate him, but had other purposes.

More likely, she isn't alone either!

Wu Fengdeng felt that things were getting more and more suspicious, so he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion overnight and briefly told Li Xin what happened in Furong Pavilion.

The latter pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said solemnly: "The woman you met should be the disciple of the Yin-Yang family's young Siming, Zhao Xunle."

"Except for Taiyi, I have dealt with all the other gods of the Yin-Yang School to some extent. Among them, Shao Siming is particularly good at changing his appearance and confusing people with illusions."

"Especially the soul-controlling technique. If you are caught in it, it will be very difficult to escape from the environment."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he looked him up and down and continued, "It's not easy for you to wake up in time and think of using extreme pain to wake up your body. Many people don't know that they have been under an illusion and step into death unknowingly."

Wu Fengdeng nodded, still feeling frightened when he thought about it.

"General Li, since Zhao Xunle is here, her master Shao Siming should also be here."

"It's not a should, it's a must."

Li Xin then took out a piece of paper and said in a deep voice: "We already know what the Yin-Yang family is plotting. It is very likely related to the blood jade of the state."

"Zhao is the legitimate successor of Jin. Its blood jade can even be compared with our Qin. We cannot risk it being touched by the Yin-Yang family."

"This matter is of great importance, and the decision must be made in Xianyang."

After saying this, he drafted a letter and called a carrier pigeon to send it out.

"Wu Fengdeng, you just need to be alert these few days. I dare not show up in front of Shao Siming, but Zhao Xunle is no ordinary person either."

"it is good."

Wu Fengdeng agreed and then returned to the camp. It was almost dawn and most of the soldiers in the camp were still fast asleep.

He carefully inspected each camp and even looked at the appearance of each soldier, not stopping until he was sure that there was nothing unusual.

Soon, drums sounded, and the soldiers from each camp woke up and walked out of the tents, while Li Qun and other captains and commanders arrived at Wu Fengdeng's tent first.

"That's the specific situation. Our troops could be infiltrated at any time, so starting today, there will be a password every day, which will be set by me personally."

"When two or more people meet in private after half an hour, they must exchange secret codes. If anyone hesitates or cannot exchange codes at all, do not panic. I will explain it to you directly, and you can report to me later."

"So this requires that the daily code must be remembered clearly. If anyone is careless and causes misunderstandings, all consequences will be borne by the individual."

Wu Fengdeng gave the order seriously, and Li Qun and others nodded repeatedly.

Now Zhao Xunle is most likely to start with the people around him, so he has to be on guard.

"General Wu, what is the password for today?" Li Qun asked.

Wu Fengdeng pondered for a moment and said, "A gathering of heroes, a meeting of carrots."

"A gathering of heroes, Radish..."

Everyone was muttering this strange code, although they didn't understand its meaning, but who cares? The code was meant to be weird.

"Go down and tell each soldier to remember it clearly."

"Here!"

……

Handan, the palace of King Zhao.

Before the morning light had fully risen, a group of ministers had already walked into the palace through the mist.

With its red walls and green tiles, carved beams and dragon pillars, the royal steps made of white jade, the hollow gilded handrails, and the emerald jade screens, it exudes opulence everywhere.

The middle-aged man on the throne was bloated and had a face full of fat. He sat like a small mountain of flesh. He was the current King of Zhao.

"Military intelligence briefing from the front line: General Sima of the Northern Route has cleverly blocked Wang Jian's offensive, and the two are currently in a tug-of-war in the west of Taihang Mountain."

"The southern Jinyang City was lost yesterday. General Yan Ju returned home with serious injuries. The remaining troops retreated to Wei Yu and were incorporated into the command of General Li Mu."

"The Qin army is strong and our army is at a disadvantage overall."

As usual, the eunuch finished reading the latest battle report, then bowed and returned to King Zhao.

"My dear ministers, given that our army is at a disadvantage, please feel free to speak up if you have any good strategies to deal with this situation."

All topics of discussion at court regarding the war had to give way to military intelligence. In addition, the current situation was tense and the King of Zhao had no time to worry about other matters, so he started by speaking directly about the battle situation.

After a moment's silence, many ministers in the audience responded one after another.

"Your Majesty, Ying Zheng claims that he will destroy our Zhao this time. He is really not afraid of the wind and is just talking nonsense. I suggest that you take the initiative to counterattack and give the Qin army a head-on blow to show the power of our Zhao!"

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to take the initiative to attack. From the current point of view, it is best to follow General Li Mu's defensive strategy. Although our harvest this year is not high, it is more than enough to sustain the war. On the other hand, the Qin army is too deep, and it will be difficult to make up for it. We can fight a war of attrition with them!"

"War of attrition? Lord Xu, do you think we can afford it? If all the food is given to the front line, how will the common people survive?"

"Yes, we are already suffering from famine this year and cannot afford the consumption! Therefore, I suggest that we seek help from other countries in order to curb the tyranny of Qin!"

"This is also unrealistic. Wei has been attacking Wei and aiding Han over the past year, and its national strength has been greatly weakened. It is impossible for it to aid us again. As for other countries, haha."

"Neither this nor that works, so what do you think we should do?!"

……

As they talked, they started arguing, each arguing his own reasons and neither of them would give in.

At the front, Guo Kai listened to the quarrel among the crowd and snorted coldly, with disdain and sarcasm in his eyes.

What a bunch of idiots!
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Qin army!"

"Oh? Please speak, Mr. Guo!"

King Zhao looked overjoyed and his bloated body leaned forward.

Chaoshang quickly quieted down. Guo Kai took a step forward, twirled his goatee, and said loudly: "Don't forget, there is another Zhenwu in the north!"

"Yang Jianwen fled from Wei State, but our Zhao State gave her a place to stay! We provided her with food, money, and cities over the past six months. We treated her so well. How could she not repay such a great favor?!"

"Yang Jianwen was born in Guigu, and is a famous military prodigy today. If we can get her help, the Qin army's northern and southern routes will surely collapse! By then, our Zhao State will launch a counterattack in one fell swoop. Not to mention winning this battle, it is even possible to recover the lost territory!"

After these words were spoken, all the ministers in the court fell even silent. Everyone knew that the Huns were invading from the north, and the Great Wall defense line was very important. If Yang Jianwen was allowed to help deal with the Qin State at this time, wouldn't that give the Huns a chance to march south in large numbers?
King Zhao also understood this and smiled bitterly, "My dear Lord Guo, this plan is not appropriate. The danger from the Xiongnu has always been the biggest hidden danger. It is already a rare opportunity for Yang Jianwen to guard the North Gate for us."

"Kings!"

Guo Kai's voice became even louder, and he said excitedly: "At this point, why bother with the Xiongnu? Protecting our Zhao State is the top priority!"

"If the Xiongnu can really move south, then let Qin deal with it. They have been invaded by the Xiongnu since ancient times, and they will definitely not sit idly by."

"We can also launch a surprise attack while their forces are divided, which will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Everyone felt ashamed when they heard this.

In fact, they all knew that if Guo Kai's strategy could really be used, it would definitely have miraculous effects, and it might even be possible to win the battle directly.

But this will definitely be despised by other vassal states!

The Huns were a common enemy to all the countries in the Central Plains. If Zhao really tried to divert the blame to the east, not to mention Qin, Qi and Yan would definitely point fingers and scold it.

So King Zhao sighed deeply, waved his hand and said, "My dear Lord Guo, forget it."

"Although I don't have great strategies, I still have national justice. No matter what, the Xiongnu must not enter the Central Plains, otherwise I will not be able to face my ancestors."

"As for the battle on the front line, we can send a letter asking for help, and let Generals Li Mu and Sima Shang make the final decision. It's better to listen to them when it comes to fighting."

"By the way, didn't the Yin-Yang family say they could help us defend against Qin? Let's inform the generals of each department in advance."

"Your Majesty, you can't be so kind!" Guo Kai's expression became even more excited.

In fact, if we talk about his true feelings, the reason why Guo Kai went against all odds and even went against the King of Zhao was not because he had the interests of the country in mind, but to save his own life.

The rebellion previously initiated by Lu Buwei in Xianyang was secretly supported by Guo Kai, who provided manpower and money, which made King Ying Zheng of Qin hate him to the core.

If Zhao was really defeated, even if the country would not be destroyed, he would certainly be forced out, and then his life would be worse than death.

At this point he wanted to say something else, but although the King of Zhao was dim-witted, he was very firm on this matter. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, my dear Lord Guo, I have made up my mind. Let's not talk about it anymore."

Seeing that he was unshakable, Guo Kai could only swallow it with gritted teeth and retreat angrily.

Incompetent ruler!
