Gong Jin’s confusion also occurred in the rebel army. When the enemy was not found, news of the upcoming public appearance came out. The chaotic atmosphere that had subsided a little bit once again became noisy.

Originally, although Zhou Gongjin was a deadly enemy of the Guiyi people, the rebels did not respond much during the establishment of the army. At most, they only vowed to skin him and put him to death after breaking through the city. To kill him, but since the incident of Gong Jin’s infiltration of the rebels was exposed, the whole thing was out of control. Now the word "Zhou Gongjin" has become a taboo name. As long as someone mentions it, Will cause a dispute.

New hatred and old hatred. Guiyi people now list Zhou Gongjin as the target to kill. If he can't be killed early, the shame of being deceived by him will burn like a flame, making them feel uneasy day and night.

I will surpass Master Lu You and become such a symbol of all evil, which Gong Jin did not expect when he left. Even though he kept calculating the possible problems, he was still a hundred secrets, underestimating the anger of Guiyiren towards him, and it would be warmed by other reasons.

Such problems also bothered Xiao Qiao. When the demons asked her, hoping to organize the master group to sneak into the assassination and kill the important people in Bailu Cave, especially when Zhou Gongjin’s head was removed. I suddenly realized that the people who had tasted the blood and sweetness could no longer return to the ordinary. Although the dark methods used by Gong Jin when he was in charge of the army, although people were afraid and shameless, they gradually became fascinated by the easy victory brought by these methods. When Gong Jin has left, they still hope to use this method to fight.

"Fool... Brother Yu just left alone because he didn't want us to continue doing these things. If we were still doing the same thing, then what was his previous effort for..."

Xiao Qiao feels sad about the repeated demands of her subordinates, but sitting in her leadership position, she cannot ignore these demands, because the people who originally supported her the most are eagerly looking forward to her in this regard. The statement expressed that she was indeed the patriarch of a ghost and did not have any special friendship with Zhou Gongjin. Otherwise, the clansmen who had doubts about her would no longer be able to maintain their past loyalty, even if she was the true patriarch of the ghost. The same is true for the emperor.

If Xiao Qiao is a strong hegemon like Kublai Khan, or ruled with absolute authority like a white family, today’s problems will not happen, because under the rule of these two big families, they dare to lead The rebels that people questioned were either slaughtered and killed, or the whole family was sent to brainwashing together. Under the hot boiling water, they were washed to the point where the front lobes of their brains burned.

Cruel and vicious control methods are the last thing Xiao Qiao wants to do. However, in this troubled era where power is respected, the brutality and violence of leaders can always win a certain degree of respect, even though there is no Fa won their respect and love, but they will not be looked down upon, let alone deceived by it.

Xiao Qiao's rule of the king has won the hearts of the masses before, but as the situation has become more complicated, the shortcomings of this approach have gradually emerged. The Guiyi people began to question whether their leader had lost the qualifications of a leader, and when the Guiyi crowd was angry, other less important but more important issues also occurred at the same time.

Because Xiao Qiao is suffering from a series of problems, these problems have not been passed to her, and the generals around her are reluctant to mention more, only Yan Ning is aware of this increasingly blazing flame.

The elements of this rebel army were very complicated. As the rebels gradually became organized, as soon as the ghost and barbarians entered important positions, frictions with other races began to appear, and Gong Jin infiltrated this incident, and even more It has become a fuse to detonate friction. Most people in other races cannot feel the same sadness as the Guiyi people, but are afraid of the Guiyi people's mania and anger.

"It's not wrong that they and General Zhou Gongjin don't share the same spirit, but the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of killing grandfather is their hatred, and it has nothing to do with us. Why do we have to take revenge?" /

"Although we are orcs, when Master Zhou Yu was still in the army, he took good care of us privately and asked us to treat him as an enemy. We can’t do this, and... we don’t think he looks like A spy sent by Bailudong."

"I didn’t say this because I’m a human being. Master Gong Jin’s previous killings were a bit heavier. Every soldier who is ordered to go on the expedition is guilty."

Such noises began to appear in the rebel army, but when these words reached the ears of the Guiyi tribe, it caused an uproar, because for the Guiyi people who are fighting under the banner of revenge, these different noises are simply It's an insult. How can those orcs and humans who have never been persecuted understand the sadness of Guiyi people for two thousand years? What qualifications are there to question this jihad for revenge?

In such a weird and tense atmosphere, intermittent conflicts continue to occur. These internal coaxes have caused suspicion between the rebels who were still harmonious and slowed the pace of the war. Xiao Qiao tried to solve these problems, but the rebels had already left the period when the army was founded. With the victory, the power and interests that came in hand have changed people's minds, and the racial issue is no longer as simple as before.

Some words did not reach Xiao Qiao’s ears, but Yan Ning, who was born in the Guiyi tribe, heard them one by one, especially when a few leaders of the Guiyi were drinking and chatting. When the ears were hot, Yan Ning listened. Until they are boasting of their ancestry and have become a weapon for seizing power, they only need to carry out the persecution of the Guiyi tribe by humans in the past, say a few words in accusatory tone, and shout out the **** tragedies that have occurred in the past to the tribe to remind them. Those grief and hatred, their influence in the rebels will rise, and then they will get higher positions and military power than they currently have.

"What can I do to sit in this position? Do you know that that human idiot dared to ask me like this? Guess how I answer him, and I told him that this is what your ancestors owe me! Because of you Human ancestors oppressed us Guiyi people, so now you humans deserve compensation!"

A Guiyi general said triumphantly, and the clansmen beside him applauded. At first, Yan Ning thought she was drunk and had misheard, but when she looked sideways, there was no sorrow in these people's eyes, all burning. The blazing fire of power and desire.

Yin Ning was stunned for a while, but didn't say anything, just picked up a jug of spirits next to him, patted the open mud, and continued to drink.

The news that Gong Jin is about to return to Zhongdu makes this tense atmosphere even worse. The Guiyi people believe that Bailudong is the biggest enemy of the coalition forces today, especially Zhou Gongjin. The threat is even greater than Lu You. Everyone should work together as soon as possible to punish those who have different opinions and sympathize with Zhou Gongjin. It is equivalent to shaking hands with the mortal enemy of the coalition forces. It is simply unforgivable. The leader should expel these unreliable walls and grass, or even execute secretly.

It is naturally impossible for Xiao Qiao to agree, but the representatives of the Guiyi people visit three times a day, and the exhausting bombardment of life and pain every day makes her extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

On the other hand, the frequent actions of the ghosts also disturbed other members of the rebel army. They are not so persistent in trying to fight for Gong Jin, but there is a vaguely sad and desolate kind of rabbit and fox. No one of them has done more military merits than Gong Jin, and no one has made as many for the Guiyi people like Gong Jin. The policy of deliberate care, if even such a person, the Guiyi tribe can turn his face all at once, and have to make him smashed to pieces, then why is he confident that he will not become the next one?

Although Bailudong claimed that Gong Jin had sneaked into the rebels to spy on intelligence, and the Guiyi people believed that Gong Jin had escaped before the incident, most humans and orcs chose to believe that Gong Jin who was influenced by Xiao Qiao was Being forced away, if given a chance, he is likely to betray Bailudong and choose the side of the rebels.

This feeling worries them. Being in a group of fanatical avengers makes them uncomfortable, especially since they can see that many young ghosts are not serious about Bailudong and Zhou Gongjin. There is resentment, but they just want to use this to conquer power, but whenever they want to question this, the Guiyi people force back with a tougher attitude and ask if they want to collude with Bailudong and Zhou Gong Jin, betray the coalition?

Not everyone is willing to continue to endure this situation. On the night when the news that Gong Jin was about to return to Zhongdu spread to the rebels, a bear tribe general who could not bear it, led his tribe and subordinates, Xiang Xiaoqiao bid farewell, ready to return to Wulian.

Xiao Qiao tried his best to stay. After the stay was unsuccessful, he was going to give them the gold and silver properties he deserved but was rejected, because from the day they left Huaguoshan, the reason for allowing them to join the coalition was the ideal country. His dreams are not gold and silver. Now that dreams are not there, no amount of gold and silver makes any sense. On the contrary, it insults the dignity of the martial artist.

For the first time facing the departure of a comrade, Xiao Qiao was shocked by this incident, but the real problem occurred two hours later. The Guiyi tribe, who learned that the orcs had left the army, was furious. Although the older generations scolded endlessly, the younger generations regarded this as an absolute insult, and thought that the leader’s judgment was wrong. If anyone could be so free What kind of battle can this army fight after leaving?

In order to kill the chickens and the monkeys, a group of young generals of the Guiyi tribe secretly led their troops out of the camp, and in the recently established Peace Park outside the city, they caught up with the group of orcs who had just set off and attacked the comrades who had fought side by side.

It happened so quickly. When Xiao Qiao learned about it, more than a hundred **** heads had been displayed on the school grounds as an announcement to all the rebels.

Such a tragedy happened in his own army. Xiao Qiao stayed on the spot, not knowing what to say. Listening to the cheers of the Guiyi tribe's generals in his ears, and looking at the overwhelmingly furious eyes of more than a hundred heads, Xiao Qiao knew what he should do, and he had to do it.

The official military order was issued soon, and Xiao Qiao issued the most authoritative military order since she was a leader. Regardless of everyone's anger, curse, fear and begging for mercy, she arrested all the generals who participated in this tragedy and immediately beheaded and executed.

This order is indeed what should be done, but unfortunately it was done at the wrong time. If it were the early days of Xiao Qiao's consolidation of military power, he would use such thunder means to rule, **** and fair punishment would make people respect her, but At the moment when people's hearts have been deceived by desire for power and hatred, what she did is tantamount to demolishing her own platform.

The opposition from the Guiyi tribe is a hundred times more intense than before. Although from the eyes of other members, Xiao Qiao is sure that he has done nothing wrong, but this does not make the situation better.

As a result, under the situation and Yan Ning's insistence, Xiao Qiao only agreed to form a master group. She and Yan Ning personally commanded him to assassinate Gong Jin who had returned to Zhongdu. The reason for agreeing was not to swear to kill the enemy, but just to not want to wipe out all the members who went.

Before leaving, Xiao Qiao stood at the gate of the city, looking back, looking at the towering gate that was gradually closing, he was full of confusion and loss.

In the beginning, why did I want to change the world...

※※※

Xiao Qiao and Yan Ning discussed in private. After several talks, they felt that Gong Jin could not enter the city so swaggeringly. The matter was probably a trap set by Bailudong; Yan Ning didn't believe it anymore. Gong Jin will shook hands with Bailudong immediately after leaving.

But these explanations will not be accepted, and the two can only continue to lead the team to sneak into Zhongdu. Yan Ning is very aware of the dangers of things. Bailudong is the most powerful place in the middle. Although the group tried their best to keep their whereabouts secret, whether they were discovered by anyone and whether they have been under close surveillance. This is really true. Can't guarantee.

The success of a thing does not need any reason; but the failure of a thing has a reason. When too many factors of failure accumulate and miracles do not happen, failure is a matter of course.

Seeing Gong Jin riding on a horse, slowly entering the city amidst the cheers of the people, the metal mask greeted the sunrise with a thousand strings of dazzling light. Although he could not see the real face, his figure was no different from himself, but he was small. Qiao and Yan Ning still recognized it at a glance, it was definitely not Gong Jin, this man with no face was just a fake.

"Dead guy, I told him to be okay a long time ago and don't wear a mask all the time. Now if others want to impersonate him, just wear a mask."

Yin Ning’s anger was of no avail, even though she and Xiao Qiao ordered to retreat immediately, but Su Lao Tang, who planned all this, expected their weaknesses. In Zhou Gongjin’s triumphant team, several disheveled Guiyi tribes The woman was pushed ahead and beaten with force by the whip holder at the back. The soft whip made a sharp breaking wind and hit the snow-white skin again, causing the woman to cry miserably, and blood stains quickly appeared on the white and tender skin.

The whole flogging performance reached a climax the moment General Zhou Gongjin personally held the whip and swung it out. The crowds on both sides screamed in unison, but no one could hear it. No one felt the situation. Dissatisfaction, the screams are full of joy and admiration, like the best encouragement, please let the whip-bearer release more blood.

Xiao Qiao feels sad. It is not entirely an insult to women. It is also sad because people have to hurt each other so much. But the remaining ghosts are not just sad, they Filled with righteous indignation, he ignored Xiao Qiao's orders and rushed out with a weapon, never let the dog thief who insulted the ghosts live.

The result is of course not difficult to imagine. When these self-righteous ghost assassins rushed out, hundreds of times of ambush soldiers also emerged from both sides, rushing out like a tide, and they were dispersed all at once. The crowd, surround them in the center.

The ratio of the number of the two sides is too great, and Bailudong has grasped the geographical advantage early; the hard crossbow and the long sword also have the advantage in weapons. The battle will determine the victory or defeat almost at the beginning. If it weren't for Xiao Qiao and Yan Ning in time Fighting out, blocking the enemy's offensive, just the initial rain of arrows was enough to cause heavy casualties to the rebels.

Xiao Qiao took the lead with the hammer and the holy armor, and she did not want to cause unnecessary casualties, but if she wants to kill the birth in such a situation, it seems that the killing is inevitable, only letting go. Killed for a while.

Yin Ning has another plan, to capture the thieves first and capture the king first. Although the leaders of Bailudong did not show up, it does not mean that there are no hostages to capture. Flying lightly and turning, the white robe turns into a clear snow in the air, easily avoiding the chaotic arrows underneath, soaring to the center of the enemy team, wiping clouds, palm shadows flying, and others can see how it returns. Before the incident, "Zhou Gongjin" had been captured.

"Get out of the way, if you continue to do it, I promise your beloved General Gong Jin will die first!"

Yin Ning and Xiao Qiao knew that this man was just a puppet, but the crowd didn’t know that in their eyes, this masked twitching human body was undoubtedly a great hero guarding mankind, and it was also a white deer cave. High-ranking figures, no one dared to take responsibility for his life and death. Under the threat of Yan Ning, everyone gave way, and Xiao Qiao led all the injured comrades to leave.

Zhou Gongjin’s martial arts, everyone admired her name for a long time, and saw that the gorgeous girl captured people with a single move, and she showed her magical power. No one was shocked, and she didn’t dare to push too much, so Xiao Qiao and others gradually Retiring to the gate of the city, seeing that he was about to leave the city, suddenly a group of people came and killed, blocking the way.

Before the enemy was about to escape, Su Lao Tang, who was hidden in the dark, was finally forced onto the table, leading his people to chase and shoot, and the encircling team was forced to come up again.

In the enemy team, Yan Ning saw the figures of the two old elders in the future and the present. These two old elders were outstanding in martial arts. She had no definite chance of winning with one enemy and the other. At the moment, she had to hand the hostages to Xiao Qiao and concentrate on responding to the enemy.

"Xiao Qiao, stabbing this person twice whenever you have the opportunity to disturb people's hearts. Otherwise, if so many thousands of people rush in, the city gate is closed again, and we really have no chance to leave."

Xiao Qiao was half-forced to take over the hostages. When she heard Yan Ning's words, she seemed a little surprised, but she still did her duty to catch the unfortunate victim who seemed to have fainted a long time ago. , With Yan Ning's shouting, threatened the enemy.

Su Laotang will not expose the scandal of the fake Gong Jin, so from the beginning, he directly denounced the Guiyi tribe’s vile methods, poisoned sneak attacks, and shameless conspiracy, so he let General Gong Jin lie in ambush. However, Su Laotang did not Maybe they just let people leave, so they loudly rejected Yan Ning’s absurd demands, saying that General Zhou Gongjin would be loyal to the country and would rather sacrifice himself than let the rebels take advantage of it, so they encouraged the crowd to rise up and bring the rebels. Put to death with a random knife.

"Damn, Gong Jin wouldn't sacrifice for Bailudong. That guy is selfish and insidious. Those of you who don't know him, don't talk nonsense!"

Indignant, Yan Ning even cursed swear words, but when she saw the enemy was waiting, she was surrounded from both sides, she had to concentrate on preparing to deal with the attack of the enemy’s top masters, and handing over the work of taking care of other people to Xiao Joe.

"Kill them!"

When thousands of people rushed out from several nearby streets and attacked Xiao Qiao and others, Xiao Qiao’s first action was to raise the useless hostages and throw them at the two of Su Laotang. An elder yelled, "Return this useless thing to you."

It's a pity that Yan Ning, who is pushing back the enemy with his palm strength, is a pity, but thinking that this is Xiao Qiao's unwillingness to commit more killings, so he doesn't say anything, watching the hostage fall towards the two old elders, those two The old man stretched out his hand as if he was bored, and held it aside with tenderness.

I don’t know, things changed suddenly. At the moment when the two old elders were completely unaware of this fascinating quality, the hostage suddenly moved, and two sharp poisoned daggers magically appeared in his hands. Turned into two blue rainbows, one sent into the bodies of the two old elders one after the other.

"Roar~~~"

"Howl~~~"

Two screams were screamed at the same time. Listening to the sound, you know that the two old people were injured very seriously, and Yan Ning suddenly woke up.

(Gong Jin? It's really him? But... why didn't I recognize it just now? How did Xiao Qiao recognize it?)

As the metal mask fell, the real face was revealed. The aura and feeling that I had previously felt lacked, then returned to Gong Jin. Early in the morning, he mixed into the parade in this whimsical way, waiting for the opportunity to help Xiao Qiao. He successfully injured the two old elders, but it was not easy. The palm of the two old elders that hit back at the moment of injury caused him to vomit blood again. The feeling of healing for more than a month has lost its meaning again.

(Injured again...This is an inevitable cost of calculation. If you don’t take the opportunity to kill the two old elders, Xiao Qiao and Yan Ning will definitely not have a chance to escape...)

Being mentally prepared for the injury, Gong Jin continued to attack desperately and had to kill at least one strong enemy before the injury worsened.

In the future and now, the two old elders were forced by his desperate offensive and were hit by a few more swords, but the two old people were more resilient than expected. Ordinary people saw the blood-stained throat injuries, and they were just a little slow. , There was no obvious serious injury. It took a long time for Gong Jin to finally exchange his injuries, severely injure the two of them, and got a chance to kill the future old elder with a sword.

"Old man, go down and say hello to your brother!"

Gong Jin raised his hand and swung out his sword, but he heard a weird chant from ten feet behind him, which seemed to be sent by the old old man, but ten feet away, even if he could hurt himself by any means, Can't stop this sword of his own.

Unbelievable things happened in front of Gong Jin's eyes. At the moment when the evil spell was chanted, a golden light condensed and formed on the body of the future old man. The familiar shape made Gong Jin's heart tremble. He started a little later, and followed, Gong Jin’s powerful sword slashed into the golden rays of light, the blade was fragmented, but another golden ray of light rushed up, in the middle of Gong Jin’s chest, amidst the series of broken bones, it made him look like a broken kite. Fell far away.

(Why? Why do the two artifacts... Bailudong has a spell to summon the two artifacts?)

As soon as the chess was off, Gong Jin sighed that he had miscalculated. The chance of victory was fleeting, and the whole arrangement was gone. Now he has to fight to save his life.

The two old elders blatantly denounced this General Gong Jin as a counterfeit and a treacherous trick by the ghost and barbarians, so after Gong Jin fell to the ground, he was immediately besieged by a large number of people. He was severely injured by hematemesis and unstable footsteps. He grabbed a long sword and fought desperately. Before the number of wounds on his body broke one hundred, Yan Ning rushed to meet and rescue him from this mortal situation.

"Gong Jin, are you still alive?"

Almost unable to open his eyes, the Yan Ning in Gong Jin's eyes is no better than herself. Not only was she covered in blood, her arms, waist, and calves were also shot through by a few crossbow arrows, bleeding from her own blood, although she didn't know if the bones were damaged. , But it must be painful to come.

The one who followed Led the crowd to kill was Xiao Qiao. After being forcibly deprived of the holy armor and the hammer by the enemy, her face was pale as if there was no more blood left, and she was obviously suffering from the pain. As for the condition of the injury, she could hardly hold the sword. It can be seen with both hands.

When the two met, Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao didn’t say a word, just a smile and a look in their eyes, which clearly explained each other’s feelings...Unfortunately, the hatred eyes of the people behind her made this beautiful moment. Had to be interrupted.

"Well, let's go out side by side, let's see if Bailu Cave can kill us."

Yan Ning raised her arms and shouted, which slightly boosted the morale that was almost non-existent, but the situation that followed was proceeding on the ground. The intensive rain of crossbow arrows, the heavy shield and heavy armored cavalry team, if in normal times, Gong Jin and the three people would not pay attention to them, but now they have been seriously injured, and they are dragging a cumbersome manpower, let alone escape. , Even supporting life-saving is difficult.

Finally, a group of people finally rushed into a sturdy room to resist and rest for a while, but watching the flaming rockets pulled by the horses and horses outside the window and the armored cavalry preparing to rush into the battle, they all have a sense of life. Maybe it ends here.

Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao didn’t look outside again. The two of them who were too exhausted to stand up had only each other’s eyes in their eyes. Even at this terrible moment, they all wanted to laugh, what was in their hearts. Peace and contentment make them want to hold each other's hand and smile.

"You...thank you for coming out to help us at this time."

"Aren't you the same? Even if you know the danger, you will look for me when you come?"

If it weren’t for the severe pain on the body, and everyone around them was looking maliciously, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin really wanted to continue this moment, but it wasn’t just these things that interrupted them, outside at this moment. There was also a shout from the future old man.

"Listen to the savage thief in the house, God has a good life. Today I give you a chance. As long as you mention the traitor who pretended to be General Gong Jin to surrender, all of you can live!"

The voice is like a thunderous ear, Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao are hard to think, in the last moment of their lives, destiny even made such a cruel joke.
