Volume 1 Chapter 318: Concealment
Shen Qingqiu didn't expect Wang Shu's words to be so harsh, but he really didn't dare to get angry with Wang Shu, so he could only cry and shout: "Prime Minister, don't say that to me. There is not even a desk or a book to read in such a big house. What should I do? Only women can marry Le Ye!
What else can I do? The entire mansion is heavily guarded day and night, not even a fly can fly out..."
Wang Shu felt annoyed when he saw him, so he turned his head away and ignored him, continuing to ponder in his mind why the emperor of the Chixiao Dynasty was unwilling to summon him, but just imprisoned him in this mansion. What purpose did he want to achieve?
Suddenly Wang Shu was shocked and thought to himself that something was wrong!
Yes, the eight major sects in the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War need to select capable talents, but the Chixiao Dynasty does not need him at all now. They just need to keep him imprisoned until the end of the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War. If he is selected by then, the emperor of the Chixiao Dynasty will be able to get a big prize; if he is not selected, the Dayun Empire will have been destroyed by then, and the only choice left for him is to surrender to the Chixiao Dynasty and assist it with peace of mind.
After realizing this, Wang Shu stood up from his seat and immediately walked towards the gate of the house.
He must find a way to get out, either to meet the emperor of the Chixiao Dynasty or return to the Dayun Empire. He absolutely cannot stay here!
The door opened with a "clang" and four knives appeared at the door, blocking Wang Shu.
A soldier on guard shouted, "Back off! You are not allowed to leave this house. If you disobey, you will be beheaded!"
The tone was firm and stern, leaving no room for negotiation. Wang Shu could even hear a hint of disdain in the tone of these soldiers on guard, as if they were unhappy about being sent to guard them.
Uncle Wang frowned as he looked at the four guards, then looked at the more guards outside the house, then raised his head to see the sun already rising in the sky. After weighing the pros and cons, he could not help but snort coldly, closed the door again, and returned to the house.
These guards guarding him were specially assigned. Although their cultivation was not as high as his, the difference was not far behind. If four of them attacked him together, he might not be able to defeat them.
Sitting back in his room, Wang Shu couldn't help but sigh, "Just escaped from the wolf's mouth, and fell into the tiger's den again. Could it be that God wants to destroy our Dayun Empire?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wang Shu has tried his best, but... Wang Shu is incompetent and I am ashamed of Your Majesty!"
Dayun Empire, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study
Jiang Yue, who had just recovered from the injury on his buttocks, was called over by Xiang Yun again. As soon as he entered the imperial study, a large number of memorials were thrown at him.
Jiang Yue didn't dare to hide, and didn't drop any of them. He let them all hit him, hoping that this would calm Xiang Yun down.
Xiang Yunze's eyes were spitting fire and he stared at him with gnashed teeth, as if he wanted to eat him.
But Jiang Yue didn't know what Xiang Yun was angry about this time, so he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun asked word by word: "I want to ask you, is it you who gave the order for the entire Huoyun Army to practice the Huataixu Secret Technique?"
Jiang Yue's heart tightened when he heard this. How did His Majesty know about this? Could it be that the border... ?
Jiang Yue didn't dare to hide it and quickly said, "Yes!"
Xiang Yun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice: "Why don't I know about this?"
Jiang Yue actually managed to hide something from him. This had already touched Xiang Yun's bottom line. Such a big thing, he was actually able to hide it from the detection of the dark department and keep it secret!
Even the dark members lurking in the Fire Cloud Army chose to keep the matter secret for him and did not report it to him, the emperor!
If he had not received the Longxi Pass military report sent by Zhao Zhong recently, he would not have known about this matter.
This matter was really too terrifying. Xiang Yun suddenly realized that he didn't know Jiang Yue very well. During the time when he had given him the military power, it seemed that Jiang Yue's prestige in the Huoyun Army had surpassed that of the emperor!
Although Xiang Yun has his own strength and is not worried about Jiang Yue's rebellion, this does not mean that he can tolerate his subordinates hiding the truth from him and having the slightest bit of disloyalty.
Jiang Yue knelt down, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty once said that he wanted me to build an unprecedentedly powerful army!
In my humble opinion, no matter whether it is crazy training or equipment enhancement, they are only basic strengths. However, the Huoyun Army still lacks a very important thing, that is, the explosive power to turn the tide of the battle at the critical moment, and strong individual combat capabilities. The Hua Taixu secret method just makes up for this!
However, this secret method has the disadvantage of costing twenty years of life, so I only told all the soldiers of the Fire Cloud Army how to practice the secret method, and did not force any of them to practice it. Now how many people in the Fire Cloud Army know about the Hua Tai Xu secret method, even I don’t know! ”
Xiang Yun asked coldly, "Your brother Jiang Fei has become so old because of this secret method. Do you want all the soldiers of the Fire Cloud Army to become like Jiang Fei?"
Jiang Yue replied decisively: "Jiang Fei came here to save His Majesty, and I have no regrets to this day!
If all the soldiers of the Fire Cloud Army were to open the Taixu Secret Method one day, it would be for His Majesty and for the Great Cloud Empire. They would open it voluntarily and would have no regrets! "
"How dare you!" Xiang Yunqi's face flushed red, and he pointed at him and cursed: "I tell you never to mention this matter in front of me. I will never forget Jiang Fei's kindness, but don't use it to threaten me!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately bowed down and said, "I dare not!"
Xiang Yun is feeling extremely unhappy right now. The matter of Jiang Fei has always been a thorn in his heart, causing him great pain. But one day, he will pull it out!
The imperial study fell into silence. Xiang Yun took a moment to calm down his anger, and then continued to ask in a deep voice, "Tell me, how many things are you hiding from me?"
"No more." Jiang Yue answered decisively.
Xiang Yun frowned slightly and continued, "Today I will give you a chance to tell me everything and I will pardon you. If I find out next time, you will be sentenced to death!"
"No!" Jiang Yue gave the same answer.
Xiang Yunqi was trembling all over, but he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then he pointed outside the imperial study and said coldly, "Go and lead the army and beat the flesh on your butt into mud before you can go back!"
"Yes!" Jiang Yue agreed without any hesitation, then stood up and left. Not long after, the sound of beating was heard from outside.
Xiang Yun is now upset. The battle situation in Longxi Pass almost pissed him off to death. Nearly 1.3 million people died in the recent battle, and out of the 10 million Fire Cloud Army that were sent over, only less than 6 million are left!
What a horrifying number this is. Just hearing it makes Xiang Yun feel suffocated. If these corpses were piled together, they would really be like mountains, a true sea of corpses and blood.
At the same time, Xiang Yun also hated Jiang Fei to the core. Such heavy casualties were caused by his repeated disobedience to orders and failure to withdraw his troops!
If Jiang Fei had been willing to withdraw his troops and implement his plan, why wouldn’t so many people in the Huoyun Army have died!
At this moment, Xiang Yun finally understood that the imperial edict could no longer restrain them, and he had no choice but to go there in person!
Not long after, Tang Shui, wearing the official uniform of the Anbu, hurried over. After entering the imperial study, he immediately bowed to greet him.
Xiang Yun frowned and didn't look at him, he just said calmly: "Any member of the Anbu who knows that the Huoyun Army is practicing the secret method of Huataixu and hides it will be eliminated."
