Chapter 756 Part 5
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da"
On the official road, the sound of horse hooves came from afar and galloped closer.
When passing by the tea stall, the man on the horse turned his head to look over here with some curiosity, but soon turned back, and the speed of the horse under his crotch seemed to be a little faster.
Obviously, although he didn't know what happened in the tea stall, he could feel the solemn and tense atmosphere.
The road dust was raised, and the horse soon disappeared at the end of the official road.
Until this moment, Lu Hongji said softly with a complicated expression: "Brother Xianping, it seems that I misunderstood you."
"Brother, I was anxious and suspicious at the time, I hope you won't blame me."
After only a few dozen breaths, Lu Hongji surrendered again.
"Master Lu"
On the other hand, Chu Xianping did not act aggressively, nor did he say anything more on this topic. He just raised his eyes and asked:
"Now that Du Chang's identity has been exposed, the Tiangou Army is no longer under your control."
"Now, Ning Shu's 300,000 reinforcements are rushing to Fengyuan. In two days, they will be able to encircle the main army."
"Can your men make it in time?"
“.”
Looking at Lu Hongji with a smile, Chu Xianping's tone was very relaxed.
However, the former fell into silence.
According to his previous plan, Du Chang would lead the Tengu Army into an ambush in Falling Star Valley, destroying the entire army while delaying the battle for a few more days.
But now Du Chang's identity has been exposed, and the Tengu Army has been taken over by Yang Liushi.
The latter did not delay the opportunity to fight, but continued to advance westward to Fengyuan according to the original strategy. It is estimated that it will reach the station of the 800,000-strong army tonight.
In such a short time, the Kuilong people sent by Lu Hongji earlier naturally could not arrive in time.
"Well, to be honest with Brother Xianping, they will need at least four or five days."
With a soft sigh, Lu Hongji's helplessness did not seem fake.
"Four or five days?"
Chu Xianping smiled and said, "Captain Lu, do you think the army can hold out for four days?"
"this."
His tone paused, and it was obvious that Lu Hongji was unsure.
Although 800,000 people are a large number, collapse only takes a moment, so no one knows how long the Qianhui army, which is already demoralized, can hold out.
But until now, there is not much he can do.
Unless "Captain Lu, my people are near Fengyuan City right now."
Chu Xianping picked up the teapot and poured himself another bowl of tea. Under Lu Hongji's surprised gaze, he slowly said, "Although there are not many, there are four second-grade ones and seven or eight third-grade ones."
"How's it going? Do you need my help?"
“.”
Four are of the second rank, and seven or eight are of the third rank.
With his eyes slightly widened, Lu Hongji didn't expect that Chu Xianping had also arranged people near Fengyuan.
What were these people originally planning to do?
To deal with Wei Changtian? Or Xu Suisui and Qin Zhengqiu?
Lu Hongji didn't know, but he understood that since Chu Xianping said so, these people would definitely be able to reach the military camp in a very short time.
And if they have the help of this group of top three masters, the 800,000-man army will most likely be able to hold out until their own people arrive. "Brother Xianping."
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Hongji did not look very surprised at this moment. He just looked at Chu Xianping and asked silently, "What do you want?"
"Hey Captain Lu, I want your elder token."
Chu Xianping still had a smile on his face and his tone was calm, but what he said made Lu Hongji frightened for a moment.
"you!"
He subconsciously shouted a word, and immediately turned his head to look at several imperial guards masters standing not far away.
“Zheng!”
Although there was surprise in his eyes, there was no hesitation. With a clear sword chant, the Emperor's Sword at his waist was suddenly unsheathed in the next second.
The Emperor's Sword, shining with golden light, was wrapped in the might of the second grade. The invisible sword energy rose from the ground in an instant like a wind blade, and in the blink of an eye it swept across the necks of several imperial guards masters.
“Plop! Plop!”
Blood spurted into the air, and the head staggered down, hitting the ground and splashing blood and dust. There was still a thick layer of disbelief in the pairs of wide-open eyes.
There is no doubt that these imperial guards masters who escorted Lu Hongji all the way never thought that they would die at the hands of the former.
They didn't know what they had done wrong, and they didn't even understand what the "Elder Token" meant.
But this did not prevent the cautious Lu Hongji from wanting to kill just because of these four words.
Even though these personal guards had followed him for several years, at that moment just now, he did not show any mercy or hesitation.
Your heart is like a tiger, the most ruthless.
Perhaps being an emperor requires one to be so decisive and ruthless.
"Brother Xianping."
Holding the Emperor's Sword, Lu Hongji glanced at Chu Xianping who was sitting motionless, and his gaze fell on the "tea stall owner".
His meaning was very clear, but Chu Xianping was not moved at all. He just waved at the man who had a second-grade aura surging around him.
"Go, go further away."
“.”
"Yes, sir."
Slowly gathering his momentum, the man looked at Lu Hongji with some caution, then bowed slightly to Chu Xianping and retreated several feet away.
After he left, Chu Xianping said to Lu Hongji with a half-smile:
"Captain Lu, there's no need to be so nervous."
"Others don't know what the elder token is. Even if they heard it, what can they do? Why kill people?"
"How about it? Do you agree to what I just said?"
“.”
A breeze mixed with the smell of blood blew by. Lu Hongji looked at the calm and composed Chu Xianping, and a trace of fear suddenly rose in his heart for no reason.
It's not the fear caused by the gap in strength, but a feeling of powerlessness of being played around with.
It was as if Chu Xianping's every word and action were carefully planned, and everything was under his control and proceeding step by step without error.
This even includes himself. His throat moved slightly. At this moment, Lu Hongji felt for the first time that the man in front of him was so terrifying.
However, he did not show this fear, but slowly sheathed the Emperor's Sword, took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Chu, I think you should know how valuable the elder token is."
"I can't possibly agree to this."
“.”
From "Brother Xianping" to "Master Chu", the change in Lu Hongji's address for Chu Xianping undoubtedly explains something.
The latter's expression remained calm after hearing his answer, which clearly showed that he had known this would happen.
"That's right. This small favor is really nothing. If you really agree to it, it will seem like I'm taking advantage of you."
"Captain Lu, what if I add another condition?"
"Um?"
Lu Hongji narrowed his eyes slightly, his attention was highly tense: "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I don't know what can be worth an elder token."
"Haha, the world is so big, of course there are some."
"And you, Captain Lu, must be very interested in this item."
Chu Xianping smiled, and then slowly said in front of Lu Hongji's extremely shocked eyes:
"That is the method to break the inner demon of the Moon-Climbing Sword."
