Chapter 61: A Calculation Every Ten Years (2)

Although Guhun Wuli tried his best to stop Wanqi Boyan from intercepting and killing the Xuan King, he did not mention it at this time. If the Rouran tribe's move today is leaked, it will inevitably cause a big disaster. At this time, he and Wanqi Boyan both had the heart to kill, but they must first find out the other party's identity to avoid future trouble: "Our tribe's affairs, why bother outsiders to talk too much? Your Excellency is too broad!"

Then the man let out a faint cold snort, and suddenly a mysterious light shot out from the carriage, brushed past Wanqi Boyan's ear, and hit the tree trunk silently. Wanqi Boyan was shocked and turned his head, only to see a black gold token embedded in the tree beside him, the token body parallel to the tree surface, almost like natural growth, and a "Ming" character in ancient seal script on it, which was the Mingyi Tower Order that shocked the Jianghu.

Wanqi Boyan's face changed suddenly. Not to mention the cleverness of the strength of throwing this token, which was shocking, the origin of Mingyi Tower and the Xuan King was not trivial, and no one knew it better than him.

In the past, the old King of Xuan passed away, and left a will for his youngest son, King Ji Cang, to inherit the throne. When the new king ascended the throne, it happened that Rouran sent troops to invade. King Ji Cang personally led the army to conquer. However, several princes of the Xuan Kingdom colluded secretly, colluded with the favorite concubine beside him to set a trap, and took the opportunity to launch a coup at the celebration banquet, intending to seize the throne.

King Ji Cang was young and vigorous at that time, returning from a complete victory in Chifeng Mountain, and became famous in the world in one battle. He was inevitably arrogant. Under carelessness, he fell into the trap, drank the poisonous wine offered by the beautiful concubine, lost most of his skill, and was surrounded by heavy troops, falling into a desperate battle. At this life-and-death juncture, the two major branches of Mingyi Tower in Mobei and Chiling suddenly dispatched elites to help King Ji Cang kill his brothers and restore the throne, calming this rebellion in the Xuan Kingdom.

At that time, Rouran had just been defeated by King Ji Cang and had been waiting for revenge. They had conspired with several princes of the Xuan Kingdom to secretly add fuel to the fire, wanting to get rid of King Ji Cang quickly. After the failure, they had been holding a grudge against Mingyi Tower. At this time, it was natural to regard it as an enemy. But the person in the carriage said faintly: "In this world, there is nothing that my Mingyi Tower cannot manage."

Wanqi Shuofeng saw the token and hated it: "Since Mingyi Tower wants to meddle in other people's business, don't blame me for being impolite!" He clapped his back, and the Flame Spear that shocked Mobei flew into the air, fell into his hand, and the gun body shook. The red tassel broke through the thin fog and pointed at the carriage. A momentum that overturned the sea and the mountains spread from the tip of the gun, forcing the fog in the forest to roll constantly.

The small purple copper gold bell on the corner of the carriage rang frequently, and suddenly stopped with a *ding*. Everyone heard a low cough at this time, but saw the carriage curtain slowly lifted, and a jade flute pointed outward.

All these movements were so slow, as if they were plum branches blooming in the breeze, incomparably clear and elegant. However, a point of white light shot out from the side of the curtain, flying toward the Flame Spear in Wanqi Boyan's hand in the blink of an eye.

Wanqi Boyan shouted suddenly. At the moment of hitting the white light, the tip of the gun flashed, turning into ten thousand gun shadows and sprinkling the sky. The momentum that was originally hidden and ready to go was attacked by the latecomer, caught off guard.

A strange chill surged from the spear shaft, numbing his arm. He decisively used the momentum to twist his waist, his figure rising from the ground. In mid-air, he turned like a dragon, and the Jueyan Spear shot toward the carriage, which appeared and disappeared in the floating mist, with the force of a thousand armies.

The twenty or so Rouran tribe dead soldiers beside him naturally understood that they could not let the person in the carriage leave alive, and also attacked the carriage from the left and right sides with Guhun Wuli. The driver sitting in front of the carriage did not get up, and the horse whip wore through the hanging curtain, pointing at everyone with an indescribable speed, and laughed: "Don't get in the way!"

A black silk long whip twisted and circled, but heard a few light sounds of *pa pa*, the flying fog swirled, and the dead soldiers swept by the whip tip all fell and flew out, all hit by acupuncture points, rolling on the ground.

At this time, there was a muffled sound in the ear beside the carriage, but it was the Flame Spear hitting the jade flute with a downward momentum. Wanqi Boyan only felt that the jade flute seemed to have suddenly collapsed into an incomparably deep space, and the Flame Spear couldn't help but sink downward. Just feeling something was wrong, he was shaken out by a strong true energy. The hanging curtain in front of the carriage was lifted by the force of the energy. The person driving the carriage happened to turn his head and look over, with handsome brows and eyes, a dashing appearance, and a scholarly smile that was unforgettable at a glance.

Wanqi Boyan doubted whether he had seen it wrong, and stopped when he landed: "Young Master Su!"

This driver in front of the carriage was actually the Crown Prince of the Xi State, Su Ling, who was famous in the world.

Su Ling shook his long whip, and the two Rouran tribe dead soldiers let them go to the side without any harm, their long knives flew out of their hands, and they stood there blankly. The next moment, the horse whip returned to his hand, and he had arrived under the carriage calmly, bowing and smiling at Wanqi Boyan: "Just now the palace was noisy, and I didn't have a chance to drink with the Prince, which is a pity. I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

Guhun Wuli waved his hand and stopped the other dead soldiers in time. If it were not for the situation, the Rouran tribe would never want to offend this powerful figure of the Xi State. At this time, he saw clearly that Su Ling stood in front of the carriage, seemingly casual, but actually sealed all possible attacks on the carriage. The thin fog lingered, accompanied by the blue shirt that fluttered gently, and the long sword hanging quietly at his waist loomed, although it was not out of the scabbard, it had already made everyone awe-struck.

Su Ling's sword is not as dazzling as the Zhuri sword, nor as wild and evil as the Blood Luan sword, but no one in the world dares to underestimate this ordinary long sword.

Wanqi Boyan's expression changed several times, and finally said coldly: "Hmph, I don't know when Young Master Su also served the Xuan King like Mingyi Tower?"

Su Ling smiled calmly: "Su Ling has a deep origin with Mingyi Tower, but he is only a nodding acquaintance with the Xuan King. Mingyi Tower is definitely not under the command of him. Prince, don't misunderstand."

Wanqi Boyan crossed the tip of the gun: "Mingyi Tower helped King Ji Cang calm the rebellion that year, and all the elites in the gang were dispatched, which can be said to be sparing no effort. This statement is really hard to believe."

Su Ling hadn't answered yet, when a mocking laugh came from the carriage: "Under the Blood Luan sword that year, the Flame Spear was defeated, and he swore to disappear from the Jianghu. I don't know why he broke his oath today. Relying on this spear, does the Prince ask himself if he is King Ji Cang's opponent?"

Hearing the person speak, Su Ling immediately stepped aside. The Rouran crowd was even more surprised, not knowing who the person in the carriage was, which made the Crown Prince of the Xi State so respectful, and even drove the carriage to serve him personally?

Wanqi Boyan's face was red and white, and he said angrily: "Our Rouran tribe is forced by the Xuan Kingdom and is a slave, but it is not Mingyi Tower's turn to point fingers!"

A low cough came from the carriage again, and after a while, the man sneered coldly: "The Prince instigated the rebellion in the Xuan Kingdom at the beginning. Although he was cautious, he also left many clues. If it weren't for my Mingyi Tower's protection, do you think Rouran could escape King Ji Cang's investigation afterwards?"

Hearing this, Wanqi Boyan couldn't help but tremble all over, his eyes mixed with horror, shock, doubt, exploration and other emotions, almost wanting to pierce the quietly hanging carriage curtain and look straight into the carriage. At this time, Su Ling smiled warmly: "Mingyi Tower helped King Ji Cang clean up the rebels after the Xuan Kingdom mutiny that year, and killed all the remnants of the princes within three months. If it weren't for the intention to protect, how could the Rouran tribe hide it? Is Mingyi Tower an enemy or a friend to Rouran? Doesn't the Prince understand yet?"

Wanqi Boyan's eyes flashed, and he quickly looked at Guhun Wuli. Both of them were full of doubts. After a long while, Guhun Wuli raised his hand to arch, and his tone was a little more polite: "Our Rouran wants to rebel against King Ji Cang. Since the two know it today, let's speak clearly in front of people, so as not to be troublesome. May I ask what the intention of Mingyi Tower is? Since you supported King Ji Cang to the throne that year, why are you secretly working against the Xuan Kingdom?"

Su Ling smiled: "The Elder is wrong. Rouran's targeting of the Xuan King is to wash away the shame and restore the country. Where does the word 'rebel' come from? As for that year..." He looked into the carriage, and there was some emotion in his smile, "The reason why Mingyi Tower supported King Ji Cang as king is just because he is easy to control."

Wanqi Boyan was stunned, almost unable to believe his ears. The Xuan King's unruly nature is known to the world. Among the princes, it is said that anyone is easy to control, but it is not King Ji Cang's turn. He didn't know that the Eastern Emperor secretly supported King Ji Cang at the beginning, originally to create a strong Xuan King as soon as possible, and use it to restrict the Chu and Mu kingdoms, which had a good relationship at that time and began to covet the Imperial Capital. This step of chess made the three kingdoms check and balance each other and form a tripod, and no one dared to act rashly, which won him several years of time, so that he could deal with Empress Feng calmly and finally replace her.

After a long while, Wanqi Boyan frowned and asked: "You... Mingyi Tower calculates the Xuan Kingdom like this, what is the benefit to our Rouran?"

Su Ling smiled and replied: "Prince restores the country, and the thousand miles of fertile land north of Chifeng Mountain will all belong to Rouran. In addition, Rouran was originally self-established in chaos. As long as the royal family has not issued a decree to recognize it, any country has an excuse to send troops to crusade. After the event is successful, I guarantee with the entire Xi State that Rouran can get the royal decree and establish the country righteously."

Su Ling of the Xi State is worth a thousand gold. Wanqi Boyan's pupils contracted suddenly, and it was clear that this condition was extremely tempting. He lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he seemed to have a decision, and asked: "What do you want our Rouran to do?"

Su Ling glanced to the side, seeing that the Master had no other indication, and continued: "Please stop the assassination today, Prince. Once the Xuan King is assassinated in the Chu Kingdom, whether it succeeds or not, Shao Yuan Jun will inevitably investigate to the end, and Rouran will inevitably be in trouble. Moreover, even if King Ji Cang dies and the Xuan Kingdom is in chaos, the Chu and Mu kingdoms will inevitably take the opportunity to divide Mobei. With such a great opportunity, how can they let Rouran go? So, please think about it from the long term. Over the years, the Prince has gathered more than 30,000 troops and secretly trained and deployed in Yaoyun Mountain, and has achieved some success. After the Prince goes back, it is better to step up training. To destroy the Xuan Kingdom, it is necessary to hit it with thunderous soldiers. When the right time comes, we will naturally send someone to contact you."

The biggest secret of the Rouran tribe was stated lightly under the harmless smile of others. Wanqi Boyan heard thunder in his ears. In an instant, it was like the whole person was immersed in a ten-thousand-foot ice pool, and even his breathing stopped for a moment. He suppressed the turbulent emotions, and then said hoarsely: "Good... then what does Mingyi Tower want?"

Su Ling smiled slightly and said the final condition: "We only want the ghost stone in the Prince's hand."
