Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 885: Mask Bandit

bsp;On the thirteenth day, Su Peng launched a war against the Xuzhou Qinglong League.

Su Peng's Liangzhou army has invaded the hinterland of Xuzhou and captured six cities.

And Cao Ziang of Liuzhou also captured three cities.

In the entire Qinglong League army in Xuzhou, only six cities were left to resist tenaciously.

However, Su Peng's own losses were also relatively large.

Because Su Peng's Yuncheng demon army is really a weapon for attacking the city, the leader of the Qinglong Alliance had already given up defending the city when Su Peng captured the third city, and instead mobilized troops and Su Peng's Liangzhou Army Conduct field battles.

The Qinglong League has several good generals, but Zhu Lie and others under Su Peng are not ordinary people. They are evenly matched with each other in terms of strategy, and the fight is inseparable.

However, there are two states under Su Peng's territory. Both in terms of financial resources and soldiers, they are much more than the Qinglong League. In addition, the Qinglong League fights on two fronts and lacks troops. The area where Xuzhou can move around is not large enough. In the end, Su Peng was With a casualty ratio of two to seven, more than 40,000 people were killed and captured, and the entire field army was almost wiped out.

In desperation, the Qinglong League could only go on the defensive again and defend the city. Su Peng allowed the army to rest for a while before attacking again. This time, it was overwhelming, defeating three cities in a row and almost forcing the Qinglong League in Xuzhou. Desperate situation.

At this time, the military morale within the Qinglong League has also been shaken. Many powerful people in Xuzhou who support the Qinglong League have privately contacted people from Su Peng in order to preserve their own glory and wealth. Several powerful people have expressed their willingness to Cooperating inside and outside, let Su Peng seize the city of Qinglong League.

Su Peng also had some contact with these people. After all, these powerful people were local snakes who had occupied Xuzhou for generations. With them here, it would be much easier to control when acquiring new territory.

However, just when everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, a piece of news suddenly disrupted Su Peng's pace.

"What? Liuzhou's poet Cao Zi'ang and military advisor Chen Taojun were assassinated at the same time? Chen Taojun was stabbed in the abdomen. He died soon, and Cao Zi'ang was also seriously injured?"

Su Peng was stunned when he heard the news reported by Guo Lei.

"Yes...and the characteristics of the assassin have also spread, that assassin..."

When Guo Lei was speaking, he glanced at Face A and Face B standing behind Su Peng, and said to Su Peng: "The people who assassinated Cao Ziang and Chen Taojun all wore white masks. The appearance of the masks, according to our The information received seems to be exactly the same as the boss's two people."

"Huh?"

Su Peng heard this. My heart was shocked.

The masks on faces A and B are special masks made by Su Peng's Ninth Master Fan Jian, which can control a person's thinking and actions. The person who assassinated Chen Taojun and Cao Zi'ang this time also wore a special mask. Could it be related to Uncle Fan Jian?

"Uncle Fan Jian went to visit the grave of Uncle Seventh, but never came back. Could it be that he encountered something unexpected, was kidnapped, and was finally threatened to make this kind of mask?"

Su Peng thought.

But he was not entirely sure. He asked Guo Lei: "Do those assassins who assassinated Cao Ziang have any characteristics other than masks?"

"These assassins are very brave and have no regard for death or injury. According to some sources, the assassins seem not to be afraid of being injured. They seem to have no sense of pain at all. They are using their lives to win and have no intention of returning alive."

Guo Lei said to Su Peng.

Su Peng heard Guo Lei say this. I was already 80% sure that the masked man should be the masked puppet concocted by my uncle Fan Jian.

"Boss, there is one more thing. It is very strange in the world recently. It seems that bandits have appeared in many places in the world. Among these bandits, the core members are all mysterious people wearing masks. It seems that there are many mysterious people in the world. The bandits are all controlled by a mysterious organization. The characteristic of those masked men is that they don't care about their lives at all, and they don't feel pain. Once they take action, they will fight for their lives. Although the number is not large in general, they can basically fight with one enemy. Bai, caused quite a stir in the world."

Hearing this, Su Peng couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

The last time he left Zixia Mountain, Fan Jian also left Zixia Mountain not long after and went to the burial place of Seventh Master Uncle. It took several months. If Master Fan Jian If he is really controlled by someone, then this period of time is enough for him to create a batch of masks that control people.

The effect of this mask is really overbearing. Su Peng can actually control worship-level masters with this mask. If someone has a large number of this mask, and then give it to a group of people with martial arts, it will snowball. As you continue to accumulate mask masters under your command, it won't take long for them to develop more and more like a snowball, reaching a certain level, reaching a critical value, and almost sweeping the world.

The only restriction is the speed of making masks.

If Uncle Fan Jian is controlled by someone with ulterior motives, it may really be a huge threat.

"Mask puppets have appeared all over the world... Who is controlling them? People from the fairy world? The True God Sect? Or people from the Demon Sect or some other sect?"

Su Peng thought in his heart.

"Guo Lei, please pay attention to this matter. If there is any new information, please notify me as soon as possible!"

Su Peng said to Guo Lei.

Guo Lei nodded and said in his mind: "Isn't it the boss who created this masked bandit? Face A and face B are obviously the same characters as the masked bandit. I thought the boss had a hidden force. Now it seems , that’s not the case..."

Not to mention that Guo Lei walked away thoughtfully. After Guo Lei left, Su Peng's eyes became a little worried. He stood at the door of the meeting hall and looked out the door, wondering what he was thinking.

The current situation is changing rapidly. Five days later, the entire Xuzhou situation has undergone a new change.

Cao Ziang of Liuzhou woke up from his serious injury. The first thing he did when he woke up was to order a halt to all attacks on the Qinglong League in Xuzhou. Instead, he sent a special envoy to Xuzhou to find Meng Qinglong, the leader of the Qinglong League.

One day later, the war between Liuzhou and Xuzhou completely ceased. Not only that, Liuzhou also reopened its trade routes and continuously sold Liuzhou's grain and various resources to Meng Qinglong. The two forces seemed to be life-or-death enemies, and suddenly they became As close as brothers.

In other words, this is the same enemy.

After all, Cao Ziang still suspected that he was in love with Su Peng. When Su Peng went to visit Cao Ziang, he brought face A and face B with him, which left a very deep impression on Cao Ziang. The person who assassinated him before was the same as face A and face B. He was wearing an almost identical mask, which made it impossible for Cao Ziang not to suspect Su Peng.

This is also a very reasonable suspicion. Perhaps Su Peng had too much appetite. Not only did he want to eat Xuzhou, he also set his sights on Liuzhou. When the battle of Xuzhou was about to come to an end, he sent a master to assassinate Cao Ziang. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Liuzhou, he directly Annex Liuzhou.

With this idea, Cao Ziang will naturally no longer consume his strength by fighting Xuzhou. While attacking Xuzhou Qinglong League's supplies, he is recruiting troops and preparing to defend Su Peng in Liuzhou itself.

Su Peng slowed down his attack after annexing two more cities of Xuzhou Qinglong League.

Su Peng's biggest problem now is that his foundation is unstable. Although he has now expanded his power to two semi-prefecture counties, most of the territory in Yuzhou and Xuzhou was recently captured, and a large number of manpower is needed to consolidate governance. There are not many battleable mergers.

However, Su Peng also has the demon army in hand. As long as he fights steadily, it is not impossible to gradually encroach on the world.

It's not that he can't break through the remaining four cities in Xuzhou, but it will consume a lot of money. Secondly, Su Peng needs time to consolidate within his jurisdiction, unify his forces, and recruit soldiers. If he is too strong, firstly, he will attract the attention of the world's heroes. , and secondly, the foundation is too unreliable, which is not a good thing.

So he left the four cities of the Qinglong League as a buffer. He would not engage in a decisive battle with the Qinglong League for the time being. That way, he would not directly encounter Cao Ziang's Liuzhou Army, but he could take the opportunity to consolidate territory and recruit soldiers.

Su Peng was slow and unhurried, expanding his strength step by step, waiting for the final annihilation of the Qinglong Alliance.

However, what Su Peng doesn't know is that a conspiracy against Su Peng, or against the Zixia Sect behind him, is slowly unfolding.

Jiaozhou, Linglong Mountain, where the Linglong Sword Sect is based, has many guests here today.

These guests are all representatives of well-known sects and subordinate forces in the world. According to the strength of the participants, this is a grand gathering of the world that is no less than that of the Stars Meeting. It is just the people who attended this party. , there are a little less powerful representatives, most of them are representatives of various major sects.

At this time, representatives of these big sects gathered together, all focusing on a forty-year-old man wearing scholar's clothing in the conference venue.

"Wan Xiaosheng, you invited people from all the sects in the world like us here, saying that you have a shocking secret to tell. What secret is it?"

A deacon elder from the Huashan Sect who was invited said to the scholar.

The scholar known as Wan Xiaosheng saw that the eyes of everyone present were focused on him, nodded slightly, and felt a little satisfied in his heart. He opened the folding fan and said to everyone present: "This time I invite everyone to come. , I have something important to tell you. You are all in charge of a local sect. Have you ever heard about the masked bandits?"

"Mask bandits? Of course we know about this matter. There is a commotion in the world now. These mask bandits have no sense of pain and no emotions. They specialize in killing people for fun. They also assassinate the leaders of the forces under our control. Many sects The subordinate forces have suffered. ”

"Yes, they not only assassinated the leaders of our subordinate forces, but also assassinated members of our sect. Several elders in our Shushan sect have unfortunately died!"

bsp;On the thirteenth day, Su Peng launched a war against the Xuzhou Qinglong League.

"Wan Xiaosheng, since you asked this question, could it be that you have found out who is behind the mask bandits?" (To be continued...)
