Astral Apostle Chapter 263: The dust settles
Somewhere in the wild in the woods.
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. At this time, he reached a place where no one was there, so he could rest for the time being.
"You son of a bitch, wake me up."
Zhou Jing was not polite, and slapped Ma Zhen a few times in the face, 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 person in front of him clearly, Ma Zhen immediately remembered what happened before he passed out, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, but soon his face showed a look of anger, and he gritted his teeth:
"Chen Thief!"
"Oh, you still dare to be arrogant?" Zhou Jing raised his brows and said savagely: "You set up a plan to flood the lake and Yang, killing the common people. Evil pays off!"
Ma Zhen's cheeks twitched, and he shouted sternly: "Chen Thief, you don't have to look good in front of this commander! Your victory over our army is just a fluke, if Lingfeng follows my command, uses supernatural powers, and attacks the city like you. Zhai, you gang of thieves have long been defeated by me!"
Zhou Jing is happy:
"You can't command that Taoist person, so what have you got to do with me? Besides, if it wasn't for that Taoist person to help the officers and soldiers, you would have already lost. Do you really think that with the officers and soldiers, you can conquer your grandfather?"
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. I thought he was ordered by the court to stop me, but he came to help me block it. The river embankment, to stop the flood, claiming that this move is for the people of Limin... Hey, you really failed to be the coach. Such a master does not give you face at all. It can be seen that your poisonous plan has not been discussed with him at all. I am estranged from you."
When Ma Zhen heard the words, his eyes were split, and he roared hoarsely in the sky:
"Ling Fengzi, ruin my plan, the most important thief of the country!"
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 **** his heart:
"Fortunately, you are a narrow-minded fellow. If it weren't for the two of you being in turmoil, forcing that Lingfengzi to act alone and not beside you to protect me, I wouldn't be able to deal with you."
Hearing this, Ma was shocked, angry and regretful.
But then, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that all of this is the man'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 had something to do with Lingfengzi.
He was not afraid to judge Lingfengzi with the greatest malice.
——This Master Yufeng, seemingly out of the dust, is actually extremely insidious.
Zhou Jing saw this guy's expression was distorted, and he stopped teasing, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"Anyway, the boat is done, you are already my defeat, gossip is useless... After returning to the cottage, I will treat you well, otherwise how can I be worthy of your vicious heart?"
Ma Zhen regained his senses, suppressed his panic, and did not want to show a state of begging for mercy, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"If you want to kill, kill, don't want me to ask for mercy, this commander is a general after the founding of the country, benefiting the descendants of the country, loyal to the monarch from generation to generation, and serving the court, how can you be afraid of you as a rebel? To die for the country and die without it. It's a pity that you, a thief, are chasing the world, and you will surely die without a place to be buried in the future. This commander is waiting for you under the Jiuquan!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jing suddenly showed a hideous smile:
"Don't worry, Grandpa won't let you be lonely in the underworld for too long. In the future, he will slaughter all the Yiguo Gong clan, leaving no chickens and dogs. He will dig up your ancestral grave, expose the corpse in the wilderness, and send them all down. Let me be your companion, let you be as prominent under the Jiuquan family, come to a reunion from generation to generation, and ten generations to live in the same house.”
"The thief dares!!"
Ma Zhen was furious.
"Oh, if one life pays for one life, even if you pay for your nine clans and chop them all up into pieces, it won't be enough to cover your interest in flooding Huyang and causing casualties."
After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore. He chopped down with a knife, knocking out the emotional Ma Zhen.
After resting for a while, he has recovered a lot of physical strength. He 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 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.
Naturally, there was no gain. Chen Feng had already run away without a trace, and he didn't even leave their butts to eat. He was very stingy.
The head coach fell into the enemy's hands, and according to common sense should not be ignored, 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. , will be overtaken by the army of Longwangzhai.
After thinking about it, everyone reluctantly decided to sacrifice themselves to protect the army, leave the coach and continue to evacuate.
——Ma Dashuai is a general who is dedicated to the country, if Izumi knows about it, he will definitely agree.
So the officers and soldiers marched again and continued to withdraw from Huyang. They were always on alert on the way, afraid that Chen Feng would visit again, and they all became startled.
However, all the time, it was useless. Chen Feng was like an old cow who didn't eat grass. He had never attacked this army of officers and soldiers again. Yu Wenyan and others just glared 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 general trend of anti-thieves has become a reality..."
The setting sun on the horizon is like blood, and on a small hill, Yuwenyan pulled back his horse 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 I'm the only one left on the way home, Ma Zhen and Huang Ping are both in rivals, and 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 has both advantages and disadvantages to his situation.
The good thing is that some of the faults can be pushed onto 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 the Lingfengzi who helped the thieves and disaster relief, can it be used to dump the blame...
Yu Wenyan was a little swayed.
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.
Now that the coach is gone, and no one is picking the lead, Yu Wenyan has to reconsider the pros and cons, and he 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 face changed.
Not long after, Lingfengzi descended on the hill.
"Really, you are 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 any questions, he took the lead in hitting back:
"Where is General Ma? Why did he leave the camp without waiting for Pindao to withdraw, causing Pindao to search for it for a long time."
Hearing this, Yuwenyan suddenly felt a pain in the **** of a stallion who lifted a stone and smashed his foot.
"Haojiao Zhenren knew that the commander was captured by Chen Thief..."
He had to tell the truth and tell the process again.
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 road to cause this disaster."
Yu Wenyan gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "You can't blame the commander for this matter. What's the reason for the real person who didn't obey the general's order and left the camp abruptly to help the rebels in disaster relief?"
"Oh? General Yuwen also wants to blame me?"
Lingfengzi's face did not change.
Yu Wenyan clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, but did not back down: "I dare not, it's just a real person's move, and there needs to be a public opinion in the end."
Lingfengzi glanced at him and said casually: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will share with the sage. If you don't trust the poor, the poor will return to Beijing on their own."
"Cough, that's not what I meant, I just talk about the stakes with the real person, and have no other intentions... The carriage is ready, the real person, let's go and rest."
Hearing the words, Yu Wenyan quickly changed his tune, gave a stiff smile, and stopped bothering about this topic.
Whatever is wrong with this man'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 Zhenren say this, he immediately changed his attitude, not wanting to care like Ma Zhen, so as not to offend Zhenren.
Lingfengzi nodded indifferently, then found the team of his own disciples and walked with the officers and soldiers, as if nothing had happened.
…
Xinghe at the end of the fourteenth year.
The officers and soldiers from all walks of life withdrew from Huyang one after another, indicating that the court's expedition returned without success ~IndoMTL.com~ is a foregone conclusion.
The leader of the thief Chen Feng revolted and the imperial court failed in the expedition. This was an irreparable damage to the prestige of the Daxia court.
At the same time, Longwangzhai revealed the truth of the flood, using the court commanders Ma Zhen and Huang Ping as witnesses, claiming that the two were the masterminds who dig the embankment and flood Huyang, and ignored the life and death of the local people.
As soon as the news came out, the people of the Huyang prefectures were outraged and angry, and their hatred for the imperial court rose to a new level.
When officials from all over the country saw that the situation was not good, they 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 and minds 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.
After these two honorable people, the more prominent their families became, the more resentful the people were, and the happier they were to see.
The corpses of the two were hanged by Chen Feng at the city gate of the capital of a state.
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 ignited, and the general trend of division began.
And this result quickly spread from north to south, shaking the world!
