There are six cloud couches placed above the meeting hall, and each cloud couch is sitting cross-legged with a Taoist priest. These six Taoist priests are all wearing Taoist buns, wearing crane cloaks, and long beards, which look like immortals.
Slightly below, there is an official sitting. This person wears a long-winged black veil on his head, a purple official robe, and a jade belt around his waist. He is either a first-rank or a second-rank official. He is definitely an important minister in the court.
Chen Duhu can only stay with the Prime Minister at the moment.
"This time I was able to defend Beiwang City and hold off the barbarians for half a year, and the Governor's contribution is indispensable. After returning to the capital, I will report this to the Holy One, and His Majesty will definitely reward him based on his merits." The imperial envoy shook his head. said.
"How can I get any credit? It all depends on the dedication and determination of the soldiers, coupled with the great grace of the Holy Emperor, the prosperity of the court, and the strategizing of the adults, and finally, it is the great strength of the Taoist priests that this great victory can be achieved . "Chen Duhu has been wasting his time for many years and has become much smoother. He never mentioned his own merits and kept flattering everyone in the hall.
While he was talking, there was a sudden noise in the distance.
"What's going on? Who is making a noise outside the hall?" The imperial envoy glared angrily.
Immediately, a sergeant ran out. After a while, he returned to the hall and handed over his hands and said: "Returning to your lord, people from the Military Law Department went to arrest three deserters, but they were blocked by the disciples of several sect leaders, which led to the incident. A dispute."
"It's really unreasonable." The imperial envoy slammed the table: "So many people are throwing their heads and blood, and some people actually run away from the battle. It's disgusting, it's disgusting."
The imperial envoy's behavior was actually to protect Chen Du. He also knew that after the war was over, there would inevitably be disputes between the court and the various sects. At this moment, he wanted to strike first.
He didn¡¯t notice that Chen Duhu next to him had beads of sweat on his forehead.
It was not Chen Duhu who ordered the Military Law Office to arrest people. Lord Duhu can be sure that someone under his command has benefited from the Liu family in Anyang and is using it for personal gain.
He cursed secretly in his heart.
The Protector-General doesn't mind showing off to those few people, but he must not attack at this time. He must wait until the people from various sects and the imperial envoys leave Tianbao Prefecture before taking action. Anyway, the entire Tianbao Prefecture is in their hands. There's no need to rush things.
Now he has two options. One is to deal with them impartially and wait until this period of time has passed before looking for opportunities to deal with those people. The other is to use the power of the imperial envoy to cut through the mess quickly.
Before he could make a decision, he heard someone reporting behind him: "Those vicious men are difficult to deal with, and all of them have profound magic skills. We have lost four real men in this battle, and half of them were lost at their hands." inside."
"The murderer?"
"Magic power?"
"Disciple of the Demon Sect?"
There was a cold snort in the hall.
"What kind of murderous people? How can we allow them to be lawless? Come here -" the imperial envoy shouted loudly.
Before he could finish speaking, a Taoist priest on the cloud bed twitched his earlobe a few times, frowned slightly, and then shouted softly: "Hold on, since those murderers killed two real people, they must be powerful, I don't know. How many barbarian kings did they kill?¡±
"This is the hateful thing. Lord Protector can't stand it, but for the sake of the overall situation, he gave them the opportunity to kill a few barbarian kings. Unexpectedly, these people were greedy for life and feared death, so they just refused. ." The man behind him immediately reported.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Duhu's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly said from the side: "They also killed a barbarian king,"
The man behind him looked at Lord Protector in surprise, but what he saw was an angry look. The next moment, the man was sweating profusely, because he just remembered that lies can deceive the imperial envoys and the people in the court. Those big guys can't deceive the Taoist cultivators in the hall at this moment. Not to mention the Taoist Lords sitting cross-legged on the cloud couch, even the True Lords and True Lords standing around can count them all.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of a blink of an eye, the expressions of more than a dozen people in the hall changed slightly, and even the old Taoists sitting on the cloud couch showed a little surprise.
"A barbarian king?" The Taoist king who just spoke asked calmly.
"Four died and one escaped. Countless low-level barbarians died in their hands. It's rare." Another Taoist Lord nodded repeatedly.
Chen Duhu¡¯s expression became increasingly grim. He was not referring to ordinary barbarians, but nine out of ten barbarians. With the strength of those fierce men, it was indeed possible for them to do it.
"I don't know about this." Chen Duhu now just wants to take it out.
"It's a coincidence that a disciple of my senior brother happened to be at the meeting and witnessed the heroic feat of the three men against the barbarian king. According to him, two of the three people were disciples of the big sect."One of them is even more incredible. He once went to Jiuyao to see the stone tablet, and it actually allowed him to develop some true meaning. "The Taoist Lord twirled his fingers and smiled, with a look of approval on his face.
The Tao Lords on the other five cloud couches showed a hint of surprise again. Their hands involuntarily closed their sleeves and started counting. After a while, they all nodded silently.
Those true kings and real people below also counted them one by one. Unfortunately, most of them were at a loss after counting for a long time, and only a few of them looked shocked.
Jiu Yao¡¯s true meaning is too grand and involves the mysteries of the great road, so they can¡¯t calculate anything. Only those few people who are good at this method can calculate that this matter is true.
There was silence in the hall, and the imperial envoy and Chen Duhu suddenly felt something bad.
The imperial envoy is not a fool. He has now understood that there is something fishy about this matter. It was a trap arranged by various sects. At this moment, they have already stepped in and cannot get out even if they want to.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"Report¡ª¡ª, there are thousands of people coming to surrender outside, saying they are the defenders of Wucheng."
This was originally good news, but it sounded so harsh to Chen Duhu. At this moment, there are only 13,000 defenders in the main city. He just tried his best to describe how brave and fearless he was, how he took the lead, and finally saved these soldiers. Now, in the small city of W, there are thousands of defenders alive. Doesn't this show his incompetence?
Just as he was about to stop him, he saw a white-haired Taoist with long eyebrows pointing his hand, and an image immediately appeared in the center of the hall. He saw thousands of soldiers coming towards this direction under the protection of a group of monks.
"Why are there so many old soldiers here? And the remaining people are all disabled. Is Wucheng defended so fiercely? Or when allocating troops and horses, did you deliberately allocate a group of old, weak and remnant soldiers?" That Dao Lord just now He asked, there was already a hint of chill in his words.
"The general doesn't know this. This is because the general is not strict in his control. Someone in the army has benefited from another family, so he deliberately framed him. It is really hateful and annoying." The Lord Protector glared at the man behind him. .
"I got benefits from another familywhich family is it?" A Taoist king who looked relatively young became reluctant.
Of course, Chen Duhu couldn't admit that he was an insider, so he turned around, pointed at the person behind him, and asked: "Say."
That man was also a slippery man. Of course he didn't want to take this responsibility. He immediately knelt down and replied: "I don't know about this villain, but there are many rumors in the army. Those few people are fierce and domineering. Killing real people is like killing chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. The two real people died." At their hands, there are two real people who were persecuted by them, so they encouraged me to come forward and did not investigate the next time, so that they were fooled. I will definitely find out this matter when I go back"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Dougu waved his hand and shouted: "You don't need to investigate. Someone, come and escort him down." The adult pointed to the person beside him: "You are responsible for investigating this matter. , I want to know who is bending the law for personal gain and disturbing the morale of the army?"
The person who was named was a deputy general, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Of course he knew it was a show, but the Protector, the Imperial Envoy, and all the immortals were qualified to act in this show, but a nobody like him was looking for death if he intervened. But he didn't dare not accept the order.
After the deputy general exited the lobby, he kept slapping his forehead with his hands. He knew that he was in trouble, and it was a big trouble.
If he reports truthfully, he will directly offend the Governor, the Imperial Envoy, a group of colleagues, and even the Anyang Liu family who is hiding behind his back.
If he fools around casually, those immortals will never tolerate him.
He was in a dilemma when he suddenly saw a group of soldiers walking toward the warehouse holding copper lumps in their arms.
That¡¯s using the remaining Chixiao Purple Light Thunder.
As soon as he saw these things, the deputy general immediately thought of the people who were killed together with Tuman. He had also heard that if you were killed by such things, you wouldn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.
He didn¡¯t feel anything before. He was not the one who was bombed anyway. He was in a safe place both times. But now, when he was forced into a desperate situation, his feelings were completely different.
After thinking about it, the deputy general ran back to the lobby quickly and knelt down on one leg as soon as he entered.
"I would like to ask all the immortals to uphold justice. I want to impeach Liu He, the fifth son of Liu Mansion in Anyang County, for bullying others with his power, bribing generals, and framed talented people. Furthermore, I want to impeach the Lord Protector of the People's Republic of China for following people's influence, being stupid and incompetent, and cruel and vicious.
Liu He was the culprit in this matter. All the officers in charge were bribed by him. All the other reinforcements were ambushed by the barbarians. Only Xie Xiaoyu, Li Guangzong and others broke through the encirclement and broke in. However, the officers in charge of the roster used their On the pretext of delaying the deadline, I want to use military law as a sword to killHow many of us are there?
After the matter was exposed by Xie Xiaoyu, Li Guangzong and others, the protector Luo Song also benefited from the Liu family and forced his way forward to kill Xie Xiaoyu and others. However, Luo Songkong had the realm of a real person but his abilities were ordinary, so he was killed instead. kill. The Protector-General was angry, and he had also benefited from it, so he sent those few people to W City and only allocated 2,000 old soldiers and 5,000 disabled soldiers.
Moreover, during this battle, the Lord Protector planted countless red sky purple light thunders in each acropolis. Later, when the acropolis was destroyed, he did the same thing in the outer city. It was pitiful for the soldiers who defended the city to throw their lives and blood, but they ended up with nothing. A miserable ending.
The Protector-General keeps saying that the soldiers are united and determined. I wonder if he thought about leaving a way for them to escape when he ordered his people to lay these mines? "
The deputy general spoke impassionedly, but in fact his true thoughts were revealed at the end.
The reason why he betrayed was because Chen Duhu put him on the fire. If the Duhu didn't do such a ruthless job and left him a way out, he wouldn't have revealed everything like he did now.
"You" Chen Duhu's eyes turned black, and he regretted it at this moment.
The imperial minister also looked ugly. If people from various sects were not present in the hall, he would have ordered the deputy general to be dragged down and executed in Lingchi.
"It turns out that he is the fifth son of the Liu family in Anyang." The youngest Taoist twirled his beard and smiled. He did not fall for the lieutenant and pointed the finger at Chen Duhu. Anyway, this Lord Protector would not end well. , the imperial court has been humiliated to such an extent, and it will definitely not be able to spare him.
"Can Mr. Liu represent the Liu family in Anyang?" A Taoist gentleman next to him interjected and asked.
This person has something to do with the Anyang Liu family, so he is obviously asking questions, but in fact he is excusing the Anyang Liu family. He picked out the Anyang Liu family as the culprit with just one sentence, and at the same time, he also implicitly Liu He is just a child, there is no need to argue with children.
Those Dao Lords, True Lords, and True People all understand what he means, but no one will reveal it.
The Liu family in Anyang is different from the imperial court. It is just a local family, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
Besides, these aristocratic families are inextricably linked to each sect. The head disciples of each sect are either relatives of the elders in the sect, or they are children of wealthy aristocratic families. It can be said that each sect relies on these wealthy aristocratic families to intervene in the ordinary world. Things.
However, in addition to excusing the Liu family in Anyang, the Dao Lord was also forcing the imperial envoy to express his position.
The fifth son of the Liu family does not represent the Liu family in Anyang, but Chen Duhu definitely represents the imperial court. The Lord Protector planted the Red Sky Purple Light Thunder, which killed not only the generals, but also the people under his rule and the monks who were recruited.
It is unjust to kill those soldiers, it is unkind to kill the people under your rule, it is unwise to do such a thing, and it is shameless to take credit for oneself after doing these things. As for deliberately killing those monks who accepted the conscription, they have already used There is no need to put it on the table. He is unkind, unjust, unwise and shameless. These four big hats are placed on his head. Let alone a protector, there are enough reasons even for the change of dynasty.
"Youyouyou have wasted His Majesty's trust in you. Come, take off his official uniform and throw him into prison." The imperial envoy was also quick-witted and made a decision in an instant, abandoning his soldiers to save his carriage.
As he spoke, he winked to the side.
Standing next to the imperial minister were four Huangmen. These four people were not simple figures. They were all accomplished eunuchs in Da Nei. Each of them had the strength of a real person. At this moment, one of them flew forward, He restrained Chen Duhu, and first used his dark strength to close his throat, making him speechless. Then he calmly took off his official uniform, then held him down with his hands behind his back.
The monks in the hall all know about the secret tricks, but no one has revealed them.
This is the best choice. Anyway, the major sects have no intention of changing dynasties. It is enough to stop and let the current emperor know not to go too far and to tuck his tail at the right time.
