A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1317

[Chapter 1307 Fire in the south of the city]

Since Qi Ning knew the legend of the Xuanwu mythical beast, he believed that it was just a false story.

Throughout the ages, how many kings have thought about immortality, but they can spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but they are all in vain. Looking at the past and present, the so-called long live, almost no one can really live to be a hundred years old. The gods and emperors in myths and legends are naturally Not counting it, birth, old age, sickness and death are the pains that no one can get rid of. Whether you are an emperor or general or a merchant, you will eventually be buried in that pool of loess.

Even so, there is never a shortage of people who pursue longevity.

The white jade capital in the sky has five cities on the 12th floor.

Immortals caress my top and endure longevity.

He has always felt that the legend of Xuanwu mythical beasts can be passed down in a real way because people have endless expectations for immortality, and the Xuanwu Pill is just the result of people’s fantasy.

But Feichan Xiaotaro actually said that the Feichan family had seen Xuanwu divine beasts, which really surprised Qi Ning.

“Have you seen the Xuanwu divine beast?” Qi Ning asked suspiciously, “Where did you see it?”

“A long time ago.” Feichan Little Taro said: “I was still a young child, and it was when my Feichan clan left Dongying. More than 200 members of the Feichan family left by boat from Dongying, floating on the sea. It was a storm that day, and we docked the boat on an isolated island. The island was desolate and could not survive, so we had to wait for the heavy rain to pass. Looking for an island to live again.”

Qi Ning stared at Feichan Xiaotaro, only to hear Xiaotaro continue: “On that day, we saw the Xuanwu divine beast passing by the edge of the island, and it surfaced… !” Having said this, Feichan Xiaotaro’s voice suddenly stopped, Qi Ning saw a strange color flashing in his eyes, not really what his eyes were, intertwined with shock, fear, and excitement, it seemed that he had returned to that day again, in his eyes. There was a gleam of brilliance.

“How do you know that it is the Xuanwu Divine Beast?” Qi Ning frowned, “What does it look like?”

“A mountain!” Kotaro said: “It…is like a mountain, a floating mountain on the

sea!” “A mountain on the sea?”

“It

‘s as big as a mountain.”

How to describe: “Where it walked, the waves rolled, like… just like the sea was boiling, someone in the tribe painted the appearance of it emerging from the sea, thinking it was a god to protect us, That painting has become a sacred relic of my Feichan clan.”

“You have only seen that once?” Qi Ning said, “There are many creatures in the sea, why are you so sure that he is a Xuanwu divine beast?”

“Mo Ying told us that it was Xuanwu. Mythical beast.” Feichan Xiaotaro said: “Many years later, Mo Ying came to the island where we lived and found the painting. It was also at that time that the leader made a life-and-death agreement with him. He told us that if we If we can find the mythical beast in the painting, we will send the Dongqi navy to help us return to Dongying.”

“You mean that in the life-and-death covenant you made back then, Mo Ying asked you to find the Xuanwu beast?”

Feichan Xiaotaro said: “The Feichan family was in a very difficult situation at the time, and we needed his help, so…!” After a pause: “Over the years, the Feichan family has been recuperating on the island, except that we have to follow Mo Ying’s orders to execute orders. , a lot of time we secretly searched for the traces of the basalt beasts on the island, but since then, no basaltic beasts have appeared. Mo Ying sent the secret ninja to the East China Sea because it is said that the basalt beasts will visit every 30 years. The island on which the Xuanwu divine beast landed is on the East China Sea.”

“Have you ever heard of the name of the Hidden Lord?” Qi Ning finally asked.

Feichan Xiaotaro shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “The secret forbearance you sent is to assist the Donghai fleet to find Xuanwu divine beasts at sea, and the Donghai Jiang family is under the order of the hidden master, so is Mo Ying the hidden master?” He had already dispatched Mo Ying. It is the possibility of the Hidden Lord, but Mo Ying is determined to use the Feichan clan to find the Xuanwu divine beast, while the Jiang family has been ordered by the Hidden Lord to find the Xuanwu divine beast. The coincidence of the two seems to prove that Mo Ying is the Hidden Lord.

Feichan Xiaotaro’s eyes showed a dazed look, Qi Ning thought that Xiaotaro had never even heard of the name of the hidden master, so naturally it was impossible to know who the hidden master was.

Although Feichan Little Taro didn’t know too much, what he knew had already made Qi Ning’s heart a little scattered clues further strung together. Although Qi Ning would not give up investigating the truth about the hidden master, the most urgent task at the moment was: To solve the big trouble of Shen Tuluo, he pondered for a while before asking, “You are here under the orders of Mo Ying, do you know where Mo Ying is now?”

He thought that Mo Ying Shenlong saw his head. Without seeing the tail, although Feichan Xiaotaro came to perform the mission, he may not know the trace of Mo Ying, but Feichan Xiaotaro did not hesitate: “On the boat!”

“On the boat?”

“When we set off, Mo Ying was in Shentu Luo’s place On the boat.” Feichan Xiaotaro said: “After Linzi was breached, we were ordered to protect the Prince of Dongqi in case someone stabbed him.”

Qi Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: “You mean Prince of Dongqi is also on the boat?”

Feichan Xiaotaro Said: “Chu’s army attacked the city, and we and the prince’s guards protected him from Linzi City. The prince’s guards were responsible for close protection, while we explored the way for them, and even helped them drive away the pursuers.”

“So it is.” A sneer appeared on Qi Ning’s lips.

Feichan Xiaotaro’s words further proved that Mo Ying was indeed involved in the dynasty’s struggle for hegemony.

“Duan Shao is with Shen Tuluo now?”

Feichan Xiaotaro replied: “Yes, let’s come to burn the granary, it is also the idea of Prince Dongqi, Mo Ying obeys Prince Dongqi, and Prince Dongqi’s orders, Mo Ying will obey.”

“You gave a human head .

To the city, is that Duan Shao’s idea too?”

“Yes.” Feichan Xiaotaro said: “The Prince of Dongqi expected someone to assassinate him, so someone pretended to be him. The fake prince was stabbed to death, but he also fell into the trap. A total of six people were killed, except for the assassin leader who had his head cut off and sent here, and the rest of the corpses were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.”

Qi Ning glanced .

With a stern look, he asked, “Then Mo Ying is by the Prince’s side in Dongqi now?” Feichan

Xiaotaro said, “In addition to Mo Ying, there are more than ten skilled guards who are guarding the Prince day and night, but… .!”

“But what?”

“Although the fake prince was assassinated, they found someone else to pretend to be the prince of Dongqi, so the prince on the boat is still fake.” Feichan Xiaotaro said: “The real prince, disguised as a prince. Guards, among the dozen or so guards, these guards are all wearing masks, and it is not clear who is the real Prince of Dongqi.”

“Is Shen Tuluo also with Duan Shao?”

“Prince of Dongqi is in the boat. I’m not with Shentuluo.” Feichan Xiaotaro said: “Sometimes when the prince of Dongqi is summoned, Shentuluo will go to the boat to meet the prince, and at other times they are on the largest warship.”

“Then they Do you know the current location?” Feichan Xiaotalang said

: “I can find the fleet.”

Qi Ning thought for a long time, pondering for a long time, then said: “Little Taro, since you have made a life-and-death covenant with my great Chu, I will naturally help you return to East Ying, and as for the Kaga Yeyin and others, I will also help you catch them all.”

Feichan Xiaotaro knelt on one knee on the ground and said respectfully, “I pledge my allegiance to Da Chu!”

“This time I will give you a chance to make great contributions.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “If this mission is successful, I will tell the emperor for you. The Feichan family asks for credit, and the emperor will be happy when the time comes, and maybe he will soon send someone to assist you in returning to Dongying.” The

night was dark and all sounds were quiet, but Mo Wenchui, the servant of the household, was not sleepy at all. Walking back and forth in the hall, eyebrows furrowed, uneasy.

On such a night, no matter how sleepy he was, he would not dare to lie in bed.

Thinking that if it wasn’t for Duke Protector’s reminder, the Huize granary would probably be burned down by the spies from the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and Mo Wenchui’s vest broke into a cold sweat.

After the Qinhuai War, the state of Chu suffered serious losses and the treasury was empty. Fortunately, Dou Butang had good financial management skills. In addition, he continuously raided the Huainan palace and the East China Sea family, which barely allowed the treasury to have this northward treasury in the treasury, which was recruited from the rear. The food and grass that came over was also very difficult. In order to ensure the food supply on the front line, the court could be said to be frugal. He knew that every grain in Huize City was hard-earned. If there was a problem with this batch of grain, Chu State would No longer able to support this war, the unification that generations of emperors have dreamed of will also die.

When food is lost, the first person to lose his head is himself.

When he took over this errand, Karen Mok never slept well, and was often awakened in his dreams. He went to check the granaries in various places every three days. Fortunately, the protection of Huize City was very strict, and Han Yu even brought him along. With elite soldiers guarding the city, this also made Mo Wenhui slightly relieved.

But today, being reminded by Duke Huguo, Mo Wenchui was in a cold sweat. He was glad that Duke Huguo was in the right place at the right time, and he was even more glad that the people of Dongqi were smart enough to send heads to deter him. That human head has yet to be discovered that the Dongqi scouts have sneaked into the city.

It has to be said that although Colonel Lu Cun was killed by mistake during his lifetime, the head after his death still made a great contribution to Da Chu.

Duke Huguo decided that the East Qi spies would burn grain, so he set up traps in several warehouses. Duke Huguo personally sat in the largest granary in the south of the city, while Han Yu and Xuanyuan Po set up traps in the other two granaries separately, just wait The spies from Dongqi threw themselves into the trap.

It was already midnight, and there was still no news to send. Mo Wen was very anxious. He only hoped that the spies would act as soon as possible. Be alert, that torment can even drive you crazy.

“Report…!” Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside, Mo Wen sighed, and immediately went to the door to greet him. Before he even went out, he asked, “How is the situation?”

“In the city Fire!” One person rushed over and knelt down on the ground: “Towards the south of the city, the fire is raging to the sky…!

” My lord, my lord…!”
