Chapter 595: Cancel the siege!
Ye Mu's expression also changed.
He vaguely realized that Monta seemed to know the owner of this map!
If they were hostile, he wouldn't need to hide it.
but!
If Monta was friends with the man in white, then he would have to tell a white lie.
just in case!
If Monta has a good relationship with the man in white, I'm afraid that neither he nor Man Lei will have a good ending.
"Don't worry, I've just seen this map before, it doesn't mean anything else." Monta saw Ye Mu's concerns and smiled again.
At this point, Ye Mu couldn't even make up a white lie.
Since Monta had seen this map before, he could only tell the truth.
Even if the final result was not what he expected, Monta would not kill him here for Zhuge Yi's sake.
"Here's what happened."
Ye Mu did not hesitate and told the whole story of how he and Man Lei encountered the man in white riding a black leopard who attacked them on the way to Qianshi Fortress.
"Hahahaha... Good! Well done!"
Hearing the white-robed man was dead, Monta couldn't help but laugh. "That scumbag was called Hua Guyan. He used to be a captain under my command. When I discovered he might have had connections with the Dark Realm, he frantically fled. Fortunately, you killed him. That finally fulfilled a wish of mine."
"Is that so?" Ye Mu nodded and let out a long sigh.
"Last night I ordered my soldiers to conduct emergency training. I was on patrol to supervise, but I didn't know that Hua Guyan, the scum, was secretly copying the map in my tent. I caught him red-handed." Monta said slowly.
Ye Mu nodded, and at the same time roughly understood the whole story.
Monta continued, "The reason why the map is incomplete is that when I wanted to take it back and destroy it, I tore off a third of it, and it was saved by the Black Leopard..."
"Then, Man Lei and I encountered him." Ye Mu suddenly realized.
"That's right."
Monta laughed heartily and said, "This is God's will. This is the fate of betrayers."
Ye Mu couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was just as the old saying "There is no coincidence in the world" proved true. He and Man Lei ran into the man in white by chance.
"This map involves too many things, so I can't return it to you." Monta's expression became serious.
"It's my duty." Ye Mu certainly understood.
Monta nodded, and suddenly a chill rose from his hand, wrapping around the incomplete map and turning it into ice in an instant, which then shattered with a loud bang.
At this point, the copied map was destroyed.
Ye Mu realized one thing, that Monta's five elements attribute is water. He is now considering whether to tell Monta about the Breaking Sky Realm above the Supreme Realm.
"Let's go, dinner is ready."
By chance, Monta understood a cause and effect, and his mood improved a lot. He was the first to leave.
Ye Mu followed closely, "General Meng, there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, but I don't know how to start."
"But it's okay."
Monta's pace slowed down.
"I want to ask, what do you think of Emperor Zhou Jin?" Ye Mu made a bold attempt.
He could see that Monta's every word and action showed his loyalty to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But if this matter is not clarified, Ji Linglong will be in danger in Qianshi Fortress.
"Why do you ask?" Monta stopped where he was, staring straight into Ye Mu's eyes, trying to see something from this man.
Ye Mu felt a chill down his spine when Monta looked at him.
Monta, whose cultivation level is at the first level of the Supreme Realm, definitely has combat power of more than one level!
He hurriedly mobilized the power of thunder and lightning to stabilize his Dantian, and only then was he able to regain consciousness. He then said calmly, "I heard that the current emperor, Zhou Jin, also took this position by treason."
"That's true."
Monta slowly raised his head and looked up at the setting sun. "Back then, I was a centurion here. Seventy years have passed in a flash."
Ye Mu didn't say anything. Monta deliberately avoided the answer he wanted.
"However, for me, protecting the border is my responsibility. I am not interested in who will be the emperor, but as long as our country is peaceful and our people are safe, that is enough." Monta expressed his attitude.
At the same time, it also indirectly told Ye Mu that no matter who owns the world, as long as there is no war, he doesn't care.
"Thank you, General Meng, for letting me know."
Ye Mu has a new understanding of Monta.
In this man's eyes, all he needs is peace!
"You want to know my opinion because you are worried about Ji Linglong, right?" Monta suddenly revealed a deep smile and then walked forward.
Ye Mu was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
His idea was actually guessed by Monta.
It seems that Monta already knew Ji Linglong's identity.
But for Monta, even though Ji Linglong was a descendant of the Ji family of the previous dynasty, he did not show any hostility.
This proves what Monta said: it doesn't matter who the emperor is, as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
Now, is the Tianxuan Realm peaceful and prosperous?
Ye Mu still doesn't know.
Camp canteen.
There were about three hundred people sitting in an orderly manner at the dining table, waiting for Monta's order to start eating.
"Everyone, after dinner, rest immediately. We will set out at three o'clock in the morning and enter the battle at dawn."
Monta came over and waved his hand, "Let's eat!"
Everyone was well-trained and started eating immediately.
When Ye Mu was looking for a seat, he suddenly saw Man Lei sitting there wearing armor, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Brother Ye, sit here." Man Lei waved his hand, and there was a seat next to him.
Ye Mu walked over and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"I have obtained General Meng's consent to join the guard." Man Lei explained while eating.
"What about Zhu Ying?"
Ye Mu picked up the bowl and ate with big mouthfuls.
"She...according to the time, she has already entered Dark Stone City."
Man Lei's expression changed slightly, and he said quietly, "General Meng had previously helped me analyze and formulate a plan. Regardless of the outcome of the siege, as long as I can kill ten enemies, he will help me sneak into Dark Stone City."
"Is this the price?" Ye Mu couldn't help but feel angry.
Asking a man who has never fought on the battlefield to kill ten enemies?
"That's the rule." Monta accepted the result. "Don't worry, Brother Ye. I started training when I was six. In the past eight years, I've seen too many sinister people. I've also fought on the battlefield in the land of Dongyi."
"I didn't realize you were a veteran." Ye Mu finally felt relieved.
The power of the Behemoth clan is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Since Man Lei has been on the battlefield, as long as he has marching experience, his safety can be guaranteed.
"However, back then in the land of Dongyi, we faced Korean bandits riding sea beasts." Man Lei ate his meat in big mouthfuls. "But now, we face Dark Realm warriors who are skilled in using lightning."
"That won't work."
Ye Mu suddenly remembered that the Man Lei clan was naturally afraid of thunder and lightning, and fighting with the Dark Realm people was too dangerous.
"Brother Ye, this is the only way I can sneak into Dark Stone City right now." Man Lei suddenly said with a wry smile, "I can't enter Dark Stone City openly like you can."
"Why do you say that?" Ye Mu asked back.
"General Meng hasn't told you yet?" Man Lei asked back.
Ye Mu shook his head.
"You can control thunder and lightning, so you can pretend to be a Dark Realm person. When entering the Dark Stone City Gate, you can easily enter by releasing the power of thunder and lightning." Man Lei explained.
"kindness."
Ye Mu admitted that this was indeed a good idea.
However, when he thought about Man Lei facing the Dark Realm people, he was still worried. "How about this, I will set out into Dark Stone City ahead of time and then meet you near the city gate."
"Yes, in that case, even if I fail to kill ten enemies, it is not impossible as long as Brother Ye helps me." Man Lei grinned.
"Let's do it." Ye Mu also made up his mind.
When more than 300 people were about to finish dinner, Monta, who had been in high spirits, suddenly received a message from a jade talisman, and then his face changed.
Everyone didn't know what was happening and waited quietly.
"The Emperor's son, Crown Prince Zhou Huanyu, is getting married in the middle of next month. The Emperor has just issued an order that no fighting is allowed within six months. This siege plan is cancelled!" Monta roared unwillingly, but secretly cursed the foolish and tyrannical words.
