Astral Apostle - Chapter 277

[Two hundred and sixty-three the dust settled]

Somewhere in the wild.

Zhou Jing pushed aside the blades of grass, stopped on a flat ground, and put down the unconscious Ma Zhen on his shoulders.

He left with a single blow to the army of the imperial court, and had already thrown off the enemy.

“You son of a bitch, wake me up.”

Zhou Jing rudely slapped Ma Zhen’s face a few times, causing his cheeks to become red and swollen.

Ma woke up in shock, his cheeks were burning, his blank eyes quickly focused and fell on Zhou Jing.

Seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Ma Zhen immediately remembered what happened before he fell into a coma, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, but soon a look of anger appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth:

“Chen Thief!”

“Oh, how dare you be arrogant? Zhou Jing raised his brows, and said savagely, “You set up a plan to flood the lake and Yang, and killed countless people. Now that it’s in my hands, it’s a bad reward!”

Ma Zhen’s cheeks twitched. Se Li Neijen shouted: “Chen Thief, you don’t have to be arrogant in front of this commander! It’s just a fluke that you outperformed our army. If that Lingfengzi obeys my orders, uses supernatural powers, and learns from you to attack the city and pull out the fortress, you gang of thieves would have been a long time ago. I’m defeated!”

Zhou Jing was delighted:

“You can’t command that Daoist, what have you to do with me? Besides, if that Daoist hadn’t helped the officers and soldiers, you would have been defeated long ago. ?”

Ma Zhen’s expression froze.

At this time, Zhou Jing had some bad taste and deliberately sneered:

“Speaking of which, I went to Dingbokou for disaster relief a few days ago, and I happened to meet that Lingfengzi, and I thought he was ordered by the court to stop me. Yes, I didn’t expect it to be here to help me block the river bank and stop the flood, claiming that this was for the sake of the common people… Hey, you really failed to be the coach, such a master doesn’t give you face at all, you can see your evil plan I didn’t discuss it with him at all, and that caused that person to be estranged from you.” When

Ma Zhen heard the words, his eyes were split, and he raised his head to the sky and roared hoarsely:

“Ling Fengzi, ruin my plan, the country’s heavy thief!”

Although he had a hunch that his plan of extinction might be destroyed by the real person Yufeng, he was still very resentful when he got confirmation from Chen Feng.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips and continued to pierce his heart:

“Fortunately, you are narrow-minded, if it weren’t for the two of you fighting, forcing that Lingfengzi to act alone and not beside you to protect me, I really wouldn’t be able to attack you. .”

Hearing this, Ma was shocked, angry and regretful.

But then, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that all of this was the Taoist’s calculation… Under the pretext of disaster relief, he deliberately turned against him, but in fact he took the opportunity to leave the camp and let the enemy take advantage of it to attack him and kill him with a knife?

Ma Zhen was shocked. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He was 80% sure that this matter was inseparable from Lingfengzi.

He was not afraid to judge Lingfengzi with the greatest malice, and he was full of resentment in his heart, so he directly determined Lingfengzi.

——This real Yufeng, who seems to be out of the dust, is in fact extremely sinister.

Seeing this guy’s distorted expression, Zhou Jing stopped teasing, and the corner of his mouth grinned:

“Anyway, it’s a done deal, you’re already my defeat, gossip is useless… After returning to the cottage, I’ll treat you well, otherwise I’ll be worthy of you. What a vicious heart?”

Ma Zhen came back to his senses, suppressed his panic, and did not want to show a state of begging for mercy, and gritted his teeth:

“If you want to kill, kill me, don’t ask me to beg for mercy, this commander is a general after the founding of the country, the grandson of the Duke of Yiguo, You have been loyal to the monarch from generation to generation and served the imperial court, why would you be afraid of a rebel? You will die for the country without regrets, but you, a thief, will cause trouble for the world, and you will die without a burial in the future. This commander is waiting for you under the Jiuquan!”

Hearing the words, Zhou Jing suddenly showed a hideous smile:

“Don’t worry,

grandpa won’t let you be lonely in the underworld for too long, and in the future, he will slaughter all the family of Yiguo Gong, leaving no chickens and dogs, so he will dig up your family’s ancestral grave. , Exposing the corpse in the wilderness, I will send all of them down to be your companion, so that you can be as prominent as you are under the Jiuquan, come to a reunion for generations, and ten generations to live in the same house.”

“Dare thieves!!”

The horse was furious.

“Heh, if one life pays for one life, even if you pay for your nine clans, chop them all up and cut them into pieces, it won’t be enough for you to flood Huyang and cause casualties.”

Zhou Jing said, and stopped talking. He chopped off with a knife and knocked the emotional Ma Zhen unconscious.

After resting for a while, he had recovered a lot of physical strength, picked up Ma Zhen again, and continued on his return journey.

…

on the other side.

Because Chen Feng directly attacked Huanglong and captured the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the morale of the officers and soldiers plummeted and they panicked.

In an emergency, Yu Wenyan and others suppressed their panic, shouted and restrained the soldiers, took over the command, ordered the officers and soldiers to stand by, and sent sentries to chase after them symbolically.

In the end, there was no gain. Chen Feng had already run away without a trace, and he didn’t even leave them to eat. He was very stingy.

The coach fell into the enemy’s hands and should not be ignored according to common sense, but Yu Wenyan and other generals summed up and felt that Ma Zhen could not be taken back, and most of them had already been killed. The army of Longwangzhai caught up.

After thinking about it, everyone reluctantly decided to sacrifice themselves to protect the army, leave the coach and continue to evacuate.

——As a general who is dedicated to the country, Marshal Ma, if Quanxia knew about it, he would definitely agree.

So the officers and soldiers marched again and continued to withdraw from Huyang. They were always on alert on the road, fearing that Chen Feng would visit again, and they all became startled.

However, all the way in fear, it was all useless. Chen Feng was like an old cow who didn’t eat grass. He had never attacked this large army of officers and soldiers again. Yu Wenyan and others only felt that they were throwing their eyes at the blind.

However, everyone was satisfied that they were able to evacuate smoothly, and they couldn’t help but feel the joy of escaping.

“This expedition has been unsuccessful. If the flooding plan is broken again, then the anti-thief trend has been completed…” The

setting sun in the sky was like blood, and on a small hill, Yuwenyan pulled back and looked at the landscape of Huyang in the distance, sighing in his heart.

I still remember how high-spirited it was when the imperial court ordered three generals to lead the troops out of the capital.

But now he is the only one left on the way home, Ma Zhen and Huang Ping are both in rivals, Yu Wenyan inevitably has a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and things are wrong.

“After returning to Beijing, I don’t know how much to eat…”

Yu Wenyan pursed his lips.

Now that he has calmed down, he realizes that Ma Zhen’s capture is both beneficial and detrimental to his situation.

The advantage is that some faults can be pushed to the head of the coach.

The downside is that it is impossible to escape all responsibility with this. As the only remaining one of the three hand-picked generals, he will definitely become the target of public criticism and face the accountability of the storm.

As for whether Lingfengzi, who helped the rebels in disaster relief, could be used to dump the blame…

Yu Wenyan was a little uncertain.

Ma Zhen planned to do this at the beginning, but Yu Wenyan’s statement at the time was mainly to echo the coach’s intentions and stand firm.

But now that the coach is gone, and no one is picking the lead, Yu Wenyan has to reconsider the pros and cons, and doesn’t really want to be the leader.

While he was pondering, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky and flew quickly.

Yu Wenyan regained his senses, and immediately recognized that it was the real Yufeng, and his expression changed.

Not long after, Lingfengzi descended on the hill.

“Shenzhen, you’re back.”

Yu Wenyan took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and greeted in a deep voice.

Lingfengzi nodded, and without waiting for the other party to ask a question, he took the lead in hitting back:

“Where is General Ma? Why did he withdraw his troops without waiting for Pindao, causing Pindao to search for a long time.”

Hearing this, Yuwenyan immediately had a stallion to lift a stone .

It hurts to smash your feet.

“Hoojiao Zhenren knows that the commander was captured by Chen Thief…”

He had to tell the truth and repeat the process.

Lingfengzi frowned: “General Ma acted like this to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He deliberately did not wait for the poor to have this disaster.”

Yu Wenyan gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep voice: “This is

You can’t blame the commander for everything. The real person didn’t obey the general’s order and left the camp abruptly to help the rebels and rescue the disaster. What’s the reason?”

“Oh? General Yuwen also blames me?”

Lingfengzi did not change his face.

.

Yu Wenyan clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, and did not back down: “I dare not, it’s just the real person’s move, and there needs to be a public opinion.”

Lingfengzi glanced at him and said casually: “You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will share with the sage. Said, if you don’t trust the poor road, the poor road will go back to Beijing on his own.”

“Cough, this is not what I meant, I just talk about the stakes to the real person, and there is no other intention… The carriage is ready, the real person will go. Rest.”

Hearing this, Yu Wenyan quickly changed his tune, gave a stiff smile, and stopped bothering about this topic.

No matter what is wrong with this person’s disaster relief behavior, it should be judged by the Holy One.

In any case, when the real Yufeng came back, all the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about Chen Feng leaving and returning, so he repeated the sneak attack.

Yu Wenyan didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the coach, so seeing the real person saying this, he immediately changed his attitude, not wanting to care about like Ma Zhen, so as not to offend the real person.

Lingfengzi nodded indifferently, and then found the team of his own disciples, walking with the officers and soldiers, as if nothing had happened.

…

Xinghe end of the fourteenth year.

Officers and soldiers from all walks of life withdrew from Huyang one after another, indicating that the imperial conquest was unsuccessful, and it was a foregone conclusion.

The leader of the thief, Chen Feng, revolted and the imperial court failed. This was an irreparable damage to the prestige of the Daxia court.

At the same time, Longwangzhai revealed the truth of the flood disaster, using the court commanders Ma Zhen and Huang Ping as witnesses, claiming that the two were the masterminds of digging the embankment and flooding Huyang, ignoring the lives and deaths of the local people.

As soon as the news came out, the people of the various states of Huyang were outraged and angry, and their hatred for the imperial court rose to a new level, and incidents of smashing the government offices frequently occurred.

Seeing that the situation was not good, officials from all over the country abandoned the city early and fled.

After this section, the people of Huyang can be said to have completely given up on the imperial court.

As for Chen Feng, who solved the flood disaster, his reputation skyrocketed, and he was almost regarded as a living Buddha of all families.

The hearts of the people in Huyang go to Chen Feng.

The masterminds of this time, Ma Zhen and Huang Ping, were publicly executed, and they were tortured to death by Ling Chi, howling day and night.

After these two nobles, the more prominent their families became, the more resentful the people became, and the happier they looked.

The corpses of the two were hanged by Chen Feng at the city gate of the capital of a prefecture, and the corpses were exposed to the public.

On the other hand, after the imperial army was expelled, Longwangzhai no longer clings to Yueshan Lake, and sent troops to formally occupy the cities of various states. There was no resistance on the way, but was welcomed by many people.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and Chen Fengjun officially separated Huyang, and took one of the twenty-four provinces from the imperial court. He was the first rebel who rebelled and dared to be the first in the world.

The flames of the beacon lit, and the general trend of division began.

And this result quickly spread all over the north and south, shaking the world!
