Chapter 423 [Kneeling]
Master Liao, who was half asleep, heard Sheng Qingyun's hoarse shouting, sat up from the elephant's back and wiped his saliva.
Master Liao waved his hand calmly, "Nothing happened. I just used a little trick to take over the First Prince's camp. Now it's your responsibility."
"As for the prisoners of war and the allocation of personnel to take over the camp, I'm not good at handling them, so I'll leave it to you to clean up."
Although he had already vaguely guessed this fact, the moment Master Liao said it, Sheng Qingyun couldn't help but feel his knees go weak and he knelt down in front of Master Liao with a "thump". "Master, you are so amazing. How did you do it?"
"I told you not to call me Master in front of others."
Master Liao got a headache when he saw Sheng Qingyun kneeling down after a disagreement: "Get up, get up, so many people are watching us."
Sheng Qingyun pinched his thigh to confirm that everything he saw was true: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely keep your secrets for you. My subordinates will only think that I am sick and recognize a child as my master."
"Aren't you curious about where this elephant under me came from?"
Sheng Qingyun had actually noticed the inexplicable elephant a long time ago, but he had already automatically come up with an explanation for Master Liao: "I heard that immortals all contract their own spirit beasts. Could this be the spirit beast that Master contracted in the mortal world?"
Master Liao opened his mouth slightly. Even he himself had not thought of such an excuse. Sheng Qingyun had already thought of it for him.
After all, he himself couldn't believe that he had brought more than a dozen animals and used magic weapons to destroy the eldest prince's camp.
Moreover, Sheng Qingyun sent people to ask these prisoners of war and found out that it was Jiang Lili and Xin Che who had sneaked in as painters and crushed them with mysterious firearms.
He and Jiang Lili were even prepared to immediately control and kidnap Sheng Qingyun if he found any flaws.
But Sheng Qingyun, this fool, believed in him so much that he even thought of various excuses for him.
Master Liao felt that this man was even more gullible than Su Rui when he was in love. If Sheng Qingyun had not gone too far in ignoring his father Sheng Zhixing, he would have felt a little guilty.
Master Liao followed Sheng Qingyun's excuse and backed off, his face full of mystery: "It's not that I contracted an elephant as my spirit beast, but I have the ability to command animals to do things for me."
Master Liao began to deceive seriously: "You can receive the information I send you in a timely manner because these animals report the movements in the Great Prince's camp to me. You can't rely on me to make such accurate calculations on your own."
Sheng Qingyun showed an understanding expression on his face: "So that's it!"
"As for how those soldiers in the Great Prince's camp died, I'm sure you noticed the bloody holes on their bodies."
Master Liao lowered his voice and said, "This is the power of my magic weapon."
Magical weapon!
Sheng Qingyun's eyes showed excitement and admiration.
It is said that the magical weapon of the immortal is so powerful that no mortal can resist it. Just by exerting its pressure, he can defeat a hundred enemies at once.
How powerful must the master be!
Master Liao continued to paint a rosy picture for Sheng Qingyun: "If you listen carefully to my words and practice hard, sooner or later you will be able to reach my level."
"I understand, Master!"
Sheng Qingyun nodded seriously.
"Oh, right, the eldest prince's men kept a secret and sent him a message in advance."
Master Liao remembered Panda's reminder and warned Sheng Qingyun, "If the second batch of food and fodder is not delivered from the camp to the front line of Haikui City in time, it means that something has happened to the camp. Instruct the eldest prince to withdraw troops urgently to provide support."
Sheng Qingyun was also dispatching people to closely monitor the progress of the First Prince's siege. "According to the intelligence my insider sent, 'The Second Princess has 10,000 garrisons in Hai Kui City.' My eldest brother's decision to attack Hai Kui City was sudden. Five thousand elite troops were assembled in a short period of time, and another ten thousand reinforcements are on the way. The reinforcements won't arrive until daybreak at the earliest."
The reason why the eldest prince dared to lead 5,000 people to attack the city was not only because his subordinates were good at siege tactics, but also because although the second princess's Haikui City had many soldiers, most of them had experienced the tragic experience of vomiting and diarrhea, and their vitality had been severely damaged and had not yet recovered. The strength of both sides was about the same.
Sheng Qingyun stared thoughtfully and said, "I just don't know if the battle is at a stalemate. Will Big Brother fight the Second Princess to the end, or will he withdraw his troops to defend? This should be a difficult decision for him."
The eldest prince's 10,000 reinforcements will arrive before dawn, and the third prince is no pushover either. His army of 15,000 is also on the way.
The next few days are destined to be a fierce battle.
Master Liao looked at the people Sheng Qingyun brought with him and said, "By the way, have you brought all the villagers from our village?"
Compared to Sheng Qingyun, he still trusts the Xin family army more. With the Xin family army around, he is not afraid.
Sheng Qingyun nodded: "I have brought the master, and all the brothers are doing well."
"Su Rui, who was sent to be a male concubine, was also rescued from the Second Princess's residence. This time, it was all thanks to the information he provided about the Second Sister and the First Brother."
As Sheng Qingyun spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Su Rui who was standing not far away: "I was already shocked that he was able to get the secret passage leading to the princess's mansion and the distribution of the troops under my second sister from her."
"I didn't expect he could know information about my eldest brother."
Sheng Qingyun was able to lead his men to the deep camp in time today entirely because of the accurate information provided by Su Rui. However, he was very confused about the situation in his elder brother's camp and how Su Rui, the male favorite, got hold of him in such a short time.
Facing Sheng Qingyun's doubts, Master Liao had already asked Su Rui to help him write a draft in advance. At this time, he continued to deceive:
"In fact, before Su Rui entered the princess's mansion, I used my heart blood to cast a spell on Su Rui, so that he can act according to my will."
"Because I'm afraid he might betray the Second Princess while he's approaching her. After all, he's approaching her for money."
Master Liao leaned over and patted Sheng Qingyun on the shoulder. "Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I must eliminate all factors that may cause danger to you."
"It's a pity that I have the body of a child. This requires taking blood from my heart, and the spell I cast can only be used once."
These words directly attracted Sheng Qingyun to catch black carp!
Sheng Qingyun's eyes turned red: "Master, you..."
He looked at the tiny figure on the elephant's back and felt a sudden pang of sadness: "Why are you doing this?"
Master Liao was a little embarrassed to look directly at Sheng Qingyun. He wondered how this devoted and affectionate young man would react when the truth was revealed. Would he just collapse?
