1697 A clue delivered to the door (1)
Just as the entire Imperial City was in chaos, the nearly one million rebel soldiers of the Beichen region were like a flood that had broken through a dam, charging straight for the Imperial City.
All the eyes in the world were focused on this. Everyone knew that this was a battle of life and death.
If the rebel army of the Beichen region took down the Imperial City, then this Empire that had stood for 300 years would come to an end.
The day when the wind and rain were unstable was the day when heroes from all sides made their appearance.
Therefore, even if the Beichen rebel army really did take down the Imperial City, it did not mean that they could control the world. At most, it was just the prelude to a new era.
There were many people in the world who had coveted the throne for a long time, but they lacked a suitable opportunity. The appearance of the rebel army in the Beichen state was a heaven-sent opportunity.
As the strength of the Beichen state’s rebel army grew stronger, the other state capitals ‘rebel armies also gradually formed a climate. They all headed straight for the Imperial City, clearly not wanting to miss this grand event.
There were more or less the figures of some aristocratic families among the rebel forces of other states and capitals. From time to time, there were traces of the trial-takers.
As for the Imperial City, which was at the heart of the storm, it looked stable on the surface, but it was actually filled with internal dangers.
The rumors and the food crisis made the building on the verge of collapse at any time, and people were in a constant state of panic.
In this complicated situation, the rebel army of the Beichen region broke through many obstacles and officially arrived thirty li from the Imperial City.
……
The Beichen rebel army camp was heavily guarded. There was a guard every three steps.
Tang Zhen sat in his tent. He looked at the map of the Imperial City in front of him and revealed a pondering expression.
At this time, the number of rebel soldiers in the Beichen region had already exceeded 1000000. They could launch an attack on the Imperial City at any time, and victory was a matter of course.
What he had to do was to ensure that the Emperor was always under his control, so that other cultivators would not take advantage of him.
After writing a secret letter in his hand, Tang Zhen looked at a man in front of him and said in an indifferent tone,”You must take good care of this letter. You can’t let anyone else know about it, or you’ll know the consequences.”
The man opposite him nodded his head gently. After he received the letter, he carefully hid it in his clothes. After which, he bowed to Tang Zhen and bid his farewell.
After the man left, Tang Zhen thought for a moment before turning his head to look at iron head, who was in charge of protecting him.
“Iron head, what’s the progress on the matter I asked you to do?”
Iron head replied, ” I’ve already sent the money over. The other party has also received it. However, there’s no reply. I still feel a little uneasy.
Tang Zhen laughed. He used a tone that contained a trace of disdain and said, as long as he takes our money, he will definitely work for us. The reason why he didn’t give us a reply was because he didn’t want to bear a bad reputation.
Iron head smiled. Since Tang Zhen had said so, he naturally would not worry about it.
Tang Zhen stood up from his chair. He placed his hands behind his back and walked two rounds around the large tent. He sighed in a low voice, all the necessary arrangements have been done. This game should be over soon, but I don’t know why, but I keep having a feeling that it’s not enough.
Iron head touched his head and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, ” I feel that you’ve already done very well. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do these things.
When iron head said this, his eyes were full of admiration.
He had gathered nearly 100000 troops in a short time and then directly attacked the Beichen Prefecture. After taking control of a state, he had killed his way to the Imperial City with an unstoppable force. The number of rebel soldiers under his control had exceeded one million.
Although the gold of unknown origin was indispensable in the execution of the entire plan, it might not have been possible to achieve this if there was only gold and no strategy.
It was like a child holding gold in a busy market. He would have been swallowed up long ago, not to mention an Army of millions of Tigers and wolves.
Iron head asked himself, even if there were ten of him added together, he would not be able to do this.
Tang Zhen shook his head. What he meant was that there was no trial-taker to compete with him and he felt that it was a little less interesting.
Perhaps the true child of destiny was the same. He was always hidden behind the scenes, and his words and actions affected the development of a world. He was the true planner.
However, he was the only one who knew about this process, and he could not find a partner to share it with.
It might sound a little pretentious, but it was true. The higher the position, the lonelier it was.
Just as the two of them were conversing, five people suddenly walked in through the door. Their faces were very unfamiliar.
Tang Zhen’s tent was a heavily guarded place, and anyone who trespassed would be killed without mercy. The other party had clearly explained the problem by swaggering in like this.
Who are you? how dare you barge in without warning? are you tired of living? ”
Killing intent flashed in iron head’s eyes. He pulled out the long saber at his waist and was about to kill these people.
Hearing iron head’s question, the five people looked at each other, as if they didn’t care.
“There’s no need to rush. We just have something to discuss that’s beneficial to both of us!”
The person in the lead smiled as he spoke to Tang Zhen. However, his eyes contained a trace of contempt. It was as if he was a God that was high up in the sky, looking down on the ants on the ground.
As if to increase his persuasiveness, he continued, ” “If we can come in here without a sound, we can also kill you without a sound. So, do not doubt our strength.
Cooperating with us is the wisest choice you can make.”
He stopped iron head with his eyes, then asked the man with a faint smile, ” “Tell me, what is it?”
it’s simple. We’ll help you attack the Imperial City and help you take control of the world. What you need to do is hand the Emperor over to us!
The other party’s words were full of confidence, as if attacking the Imperial City was something that they could do with ease.
Tang Zhen and iron head exchanged a glance and could not help but burst out laughing.
I’ve already guessed that there might be people who have ideas about us, but I didn’t expect that there would really be fools who aren’t afraid of death.
Iron head also laughed, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule as he looked at those people.
He didn’t do anything but wanted to take advantage of the situation. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
The expressions of those few people changed when they heard Tang Zhen’s words. The person in the lead coldly snorted and said,”Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, I think you’re really tired of living!
Today, I’ll let you see what tricks I have!”
Hearing the other party’s words, Tang Zhen was so happy that he was convulsing. He pointed at the few people and laughed,”You’re really stupid. Haven’t you realized who we are?”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the few people were slightly stunned. Just as they were about to carefully examine him, Tang Zhen and iron head had already attacked at the same time.
With a Flash of the Blade, the head of the man at the front was already flying. He turned into a white light and disappeared with a face full of horror.
I don’t know what you’re thinking about the trial-takers, but you’re simply sending yourselves to your deaths!
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the rest of them were shocked as they furiously roared,”Damn it, so you’re also a trial-taker!”
“Hehe, it’s too late for you to know now!”
As iron head laughed, the saber in his hand was already slashing at a participant, splitting him in half from head to toe.
The remaining three participants were about to turn around and escape, but a group of fully armed guards rushed in from outside the tent and completely blocked their retreat.
The three trial-takers revealed a look of despair as they roared at Tang Zhen,”You dare to kill us? Do you know whose subordinates we are?”
“Tell me about it. If I know him, I might let you live.”
Tang Zhen was also not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he was like a cat toying with a mouse as he watched the three trial-takers struggling on the brink of death.
Seeing that Tang Zhen was no longer attacking, the three trial-takers revealed a happy expression as they hurriedly shouted, our master is the true son of fate. He only re-participated in the trial because of some unforeseen circumstances. If you offend him, you will have a hard time on Destiny Island in the future.
Tang Zhen revealed a trace of joy on his face when he heard the other party’s words. He continued to ask,”Cut the crap. Who is your master?”
In fact, he already had an answer in his heart. He only asked to confirm it.
“I’m not afraid of you knowing. To tell you the truth, my Lord is the son of fate, Hua Yue. You should have heard of his name, right?”
Tang Zhen smiled slightly when he heard this. There was a saying that said “one would wear out iron shoes in a searching place, yet one would find it without any effort.” Perhaps this saying was referring to this moment.
He originally wanted to find traces of Hua Yue after controlling the Emperor, but he did not expect that his subordinates would take the initiative to come to him.
Under such circumstances, if he did not kill Hua Yue, he would really be letting down his luck.
