Deep in the jungle
"Brother, after passing this dense forest, we will reach Qingyun Mountain."
Pointing to the Qingyun Mountain whose top could be vaguely seen, Bai Ziyu said excitedly.
Bai Ziche looked in the direction Bai Ziyu pointed, but he was not that excited, and instead felt a vague sense of unease.
During the trip to Qishan, almost all the people they brought with them were killed or injured.
There were only a dozen people left who had stayed at the foot of the mountain. In his opinion, they should return to the border of Yunlang Country immediately.
He joined the tens of thousands of troops stationed there instead of going to Qingyun Mountain to seek medical treatment.
But faced with Bai Ziyu's persistence, Bai Ziche finally agreed.
Not getting a response, Bai Ziyu turned around and looked at Bai Ziche, who was frowning slightly, knowing his concern.
He consoled him, "Don't worry, my royal brother. Bai Shi has already investigated and found that all the people from Sheng Yuan Kingdom have already gone south.
Huangfu Lingao was seriously injured and will probably need some time to recuperate.
The troops of Tianqing Kingdom were basically wiped out when they reached Mount Qishan.
The people at the foot of Mount Qi also lost their composure and became disorganized after hearing the news of the death of their crown prince Shangguan Ruiyi.
At this moment, I am afraid I don’t even have the courage to return to Tianqing Kingdom.
Moreover, there were not many people traveling with us this time, and we deliberately took a detour through Shengyuan.
Going to Qingyun Mountain from the south, it would be even more difficult to attract attention after deliberately disguising yourself.
We have already entered the dense forest and will soon reach Qingyun Mountain. We will find the medical immortal to heal your leg."
Bai Ziche shook his head slightly: "Zi Yu, what I am worried about is not Tianqing and Shengyuan, but the man in black who appeared last on Mount Qi.
Such agility and strict discipline are not possessed by ordinary people in the martial arts world. Even none of us in our group realized that there was such a powerful group of people.
And after we descended from Mount Qishan, you also heard along the way the rumors about Shengyuan Kingdom twenty years ago, which were so rampant.
Emperor Shengyuan Huangfu Tian framed the former Shang emperor for his own selfish desires, destroyed his sister's family, triggered war, and took the opportunity to annex the Shang Kingdom.
He also pretended to be righteous and adopted Prince Shang.
Now he uses the excuse of getting rid of the monsters in Qishan to call on the three kingdoms and people from the martial arts world to besiege Qishan, causing great suffering to the people in the Qishan area. In fact, he just wants to take the magic sword for himself in order to dominate the world.
If this news gets out, Sheng Yuan will probably become the public enemy."
After listening to Bai Ziche's analysis, Bai Ziyu was somewhat stunned: "Royal brother... are you saying that this incident is caused by someone targeting Shengyuan Kingdom?"
“Not only Shengyuan, or mainly Shengyuan Kingdom, but also Tianqing Kingdom and us Yunlang, and even… Jianghu.
After all, we received the order from our father and we are heading for the Demon Sword.
Rather than saying that the person behind this is targeting Sheng Yuan, it would be more accurate to say that he wants to provoke a war between the Three Kingdoms and a dispute between the imperial court and the underworld.
He probably wants the world to be in chaos..."
Bai Ziche's tone was calm, but it couldn't help but change at the end. He had been thinking a lot these past few days.
He had felt that something was amiss with this matter before, but now that he thought about it, he realized that they had been walking into someone else's trap step by step since they decided to set foot in Qishan. It was just...
Bai Ziyu was shocked and said, "Then my royal brother, according to what you said, this is a conspiracy against Sheng Yuan, Tian Qing, our Yun Lang, and even the Jianghu. But...but there really is a conspiracy on Mount Qi..."
Is it something? Bai Ziyu couldn't say it out loud. Demon? Monster? The woman in red was indeed a martial arts master with unfathomable power.
But he didn't believe it if it really involved demons.
And if she really was a demon, the woman was eventually defeated by them and escaped, and she did not use any witchcraft to kill them.
Moreover, having fought against that woman, I knew better than anyone whether she was a so-called demon or not.
Bai Ziche denied it, “Let’s not even talk about whether that woman is a demon or not.
Emperor Sheng Yuan probably didn't know that there was such a woman on Mount Qishan, at least Huangfu Lingao certainly didn't know.
Not only that, the person behind the scenes may not know either, otherwise there would not be such rumors.
Besides, regardless of the original intention of the person behind the scenes, he wanted to expose the blood debt of twenty years ago in order to provoke a conflict between Shengyuan and Shang.
This time, he used the magic sword to lure us into Mount Qishan and provoke a melee. His intentions must be significant, and his scheming is truly alarming."
“He is truly ruthless. This one move destroyed the crown prince of Tianqing Kingdom and severely injured Huangfu Lingao.
There are still tens of thousands of soldiers from the Three Kingdoms, and even seven or eight out of ten martial arts masters have gone. Now these bad debts have been transferred to the Shengyuan Kingdom.
Humph! If this prince knew which coward was hiding behind this mess, I would not let him off with the purple vine whip in my hand!
Even this prince dared to plot against me and nearly died at Mount Qishan..."
Bai Ziyu was surprised to see Bai Ziche's expression as he spoke, "Royal brother..."
Bai Ziche suddenly realized the source of his uneasiness, and a rare flicker of emotion appeared on his usually gentle face.
"Zi Yu, you are right, this person is indeed ruthless when he attacks, but if it is really as we think.
Their goal is to provoke Yunlang and Tianqing to attack Sheng Yuan in order to cause chaos in the world.
Now that Shangguan Ruiyi is dead, the blame has fallen on Sheng Yuanguo.
But our Cloud Wolf Nation is… whatever we can think of, that person can certainly think of as well, so how could he easily let us return to Cloud Wolf?"
Bai Ziyu was also shocked when he heard this. His expression was solemn and he ordered in a deep voice:
"Heishi, you must immediately rush to Moshi Pass and pass on this prince's order to lead the troops to rescue..."
"Yes, sir," Heishi replied in a deep voice, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute," Bai Ziche said, "Heishi, I'll write a letter explaining the situation in detail.
Once you get out of the dense forest, you must find a way to hand it over to Prince Sheng Yuan, Huangfu Lingao.
Then rush to Moshi Pass. Although Qingyun Mountain is located at the junction of three countries.
But Moshi Pass is still farther away from the border of Shengyuan Kingdom."
Bai Ziyu was puzzled: "My royal brother wants Huangfu Lingao to send troops? Would he be so kind? And what if Huangfu Lingao and others are in a hurry to return to Shengyuan Imperial City..."
Bai Ziche tapped his hand lightly twice while holding onto the wheelchair.
“I’m not sure, but I think Huangfu Lingao is not a simple person, and he would definitely have some doubts about what we can think of.
Even if he neglected certain things due to his serious injuries and urgent need for recuperation, don't forget that he has a very powerful military advisor by his side.
Therefore, even if it was to prevent the Yunlang Nation from taking the opportunity to join forces with Tianqing to besiege Shengyuan, Huangfu Lingao would definitely send troops to rescue them."
"What the emperor said makes sense, Heishi, do as the emperor says." Bai Ziyu expressed his unconditional trust in Bai Ziche.
Moreover, although he is not as knowledgeable as Bai Ziche, he is a member of the royal family after all. There are twists and turns in this matter, and there are still things that he cannot understand even if he is given a little guidance.
