Wu Chijin and his group were swaggering out of the restaurant. Before the Buyi people could catch up, they quickly found an inn opposite the restaurant and started shouting at the inn without any delay. Then, of course, they opened their mouths to attract everyone's attention. When everyone began to talk to him, they began to ridicule and slander Wu Chijin. However, they used a different way of saying it.
The Buyi man whispered to the maid beside him,"Little Man, what do you think this guy wants?"”
Xiao Man gritted his teeth in anger and said,"This is obviously a deliberate rumor." Look at how they deliberately found teahouses, restaurants, inns, and other places where people came and went. Then, they would say all kinds of things to slander Pavilion Master Wu.”
"That's right. This is a planned rumor. We can't let that guy do this. It seems that we can't care about the opinions of others. We have to act directly and stop this guy from continuing to slander Pavilion Master Wu.”The Buyi woman said calmly. She knew that there must be an unknown conspiracy against Wu Chijin. She had to step out and stop it. Now was the critical moment when Pavilion Master Wu needed her the most.
"Princess, everything is ready. We are waiting for your instructions.”
"The young man next to that guy is extremely skilled in martial arts. Get Deputy General Gao's men to surround him. Don't let him have the opportunity to make trouble.
The guards will follow me to capture that middle-aged man alive. We have to force him to tell us what he's up to.”The Buyi people had the style of a general. To the Buyi people, this was perhaps the most important battle of her life.
"Where's the girl in yellow?”Xiao Man reminded the Buyi people that they had missed a girl.
"She's just a girl. She won't be able to cause any trouble. How about this? You'll be responsible for keeping an eye on her. Don't let her cause any trouble or accidentally injure her. "The people of Buyi are just a little girl with a childish face. Although there is a bowl-sized birthmark on her face, her eyes are like the crescent moon when she smiles.
When Wu Chijin arrived at the inn, he changed to a black version. He said to Liang Feng,"You all think that Le Qingqiu was killed by the Blue Robes Army in the Black Mountain Seal. That's just hearsay." Let me tell you, the real murderer is Wu Chijin. Otherwise, with Yue Qingqiu's skills, he wouldn't have been unable to escape even if he couldn't beat him. It was because Wu Chijin was one of them that Yue Qingqiu was completely defenseless against him and fell into Wu Chijin's trap.”
Liang Feng asked in surprise,"Aren't Yue Qingqiu and Wu Chijin sworn brothers?" You can't say that!"
"There has always been only iron-clad interests in the world. Where are iron-clad brothers?”Wu Chijin said exaggeratedly.
"What do you mean?" Liang Feng asked.
"Tell me, if Le Qingqiu dies, who will the five thousand Crescent Army soldiers belong to?”
"From the looks of it, it's mostly due to respect.”Liang Feng answered.
"Then let me ask you again. Everyone heard that Wu Chijin will be coming to pass on the order for the welfare students later. It's a verbal message that Du Jing will be promoted to the pavilion master of Qingtian Pavilion. Think about it, who can prove whether this verbal message is true or false? He still let Wu Chijin have the final say.
Once Wu Chijin and Du Jing took down the 5,000 Crescent Army, what would the welfare students have left? At this moment, he could only obediently give up the throne. Do you understand? So, Wu Chijin's first step was to get rid of this stumbling block, Yue Qingqiu. He had waited for so many years for this opportunity.”Even Wu Chijin himself wanted to laugh the more he heard this rumor. Even Liang Feng, who was standing at the side, could not tell if it was true or false.
This time, the Buyi people did not go forward to eavesdrop. She stood at the side and grasped the movements of Wu Chijin's group. He had people lying in ambush at every exit in front of the inn, hoping to capture this group of people who had maliciously slandered Wu Chijin everywhere.
Wu Chijin and the others stepped out of the inn's door. Liang Feng was the first to lead the way. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they realized that dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at them.
Wu Chijin followed closely behind. As a sly old fox, he naturally realized that he was being targeted. However, he estimated that this group of people was not up to par, so he did not take it to heart. After all, after causing such a commotion in the Hundred Lives Country, there would definitely be people from all walks of life coming to check out his background. It was already expected that someone would target him.
The Buyi people did not hesitate to give the order to attack. Deputy General Gao led more than 20 people to surround Liang Feng, entangling him like an inescapable net, preventing him from helping Wu Chijin. On the other hand, the Buyi people and the capital guards surrounded Wu Chijin. Everything was as they had planned.
The only miscalculation was that the yellow-clothed girl, who the Buyi people did not care about at first, had now become the most troublesome problem. No matter how the guards changed their formation, the yellow-clothed girl could still stand in front of Wu Chijin and block everyone's attacks on him. This surprised the Buyi people.
Although the 20-odd men led by Deputy General Gao were carefully selected from the army, they were obviously useless in front of Liang Feng. Liang Feng had already subdued everyone by pressing their acupoints before he had even exerted his strength. He smiled as he watched how the people on the side dealt with the crowd.
It was not that Liang Feng was young and inexperienced, but that Wu Chijin had long ordered him to attract attention. Only by being the center of attention would everyone pay more attention to his words and actions. Wu Chijin's slanderous remarks had already attracted the attention of many parties. At this moment, the Buyi people were not the only ones following closely behind. However, the purpose of the others was to see what was going on, which was completely different from the Buyi people's goal of capturing him in one fell swoop.
Liang Feng's casual attack had opened the eyes of the people watching from the side. Before most of them could figure out what was going on, Liang Feng had already knocked out the soldiers of the Duobao Nation. The battle had ended in an instant. More than twenty burly men stood around Liang Feng, staring at this unbelievable young man in front of them with their mouths agape.
On the other hand, Keren did not choose to take down everyone in a flash like a cool breeze. Instead, she kept waving her gorgeous and dazzling sleeves, easily covering half of the sky. From a distance, Keren was like a pink embroidered ball that kept spinning, tightly wrapping the dozen people in her embroidered ball.
The Buyi people had no time to care about Deputy General Gao's battle situation. She was caught in the movements of the girl in yellow and was helpless. No matter how he changed his moves, the girl's sleeves were like a pair of palms covering his eyes all the time, making him unaware of the surrounding situation. Naturally, the whip in his hand was useless.
Although the yellow-clothed girl's moves were exquisite, they did not reveal an overbearing aura. Although everyone was restrained by the yellow-clothed girl's sleeves and could not move, it was more like a young woman toying with them. Therefore, the Buyi people always had the illusion that they could break through this sleeve wall as long as they put in more effort.
The Buyi people felt that the other party had no ill intentions towards them. They were only attacking in anger. There might be some loopholes in their attacks. Fortunately, they were not taken advantage of. Therefore, although they were anxious, their emotions were not as irritable as they were at the beginning. Instead, they gradually calmed down and slowly observed the interaction between the enemy and themselves.
The Buyi people noticed that the young man had stopped fighting and was leisurely watching them fight with the yellow-clothed girl. The middle-aged skinny man who kept slandering Wu Chijin had suddenly started to stand beside the young man and laugh. This made them look even more embarrassed.
Looking at the crowd of onlookers, a row of city guards from Baishou Country was moving quickly. It seemed like they were heading in his direction.
During this period of time, nearly a hundred diplomatic corps and hundreds of thousands of allied troops had gathered in Baishou Country. Although only some high-ranking generals or protocol officials could enter and leave the imperial city, the total number was still extremely large. Therefore, maintaining the necessary order was the top priority of Baishou Country's city defense.
A tall guard captain barged in between the Buyi people and the yellow-clothed girl without saying anything. He shouted at all parties to stop and ordered the guards to surround everyone. He asked,"Which country are you from? Are there any official spies?"”
Deputy General Gao and the guards all took out their ultimatums to prove that they had passed through legally. However, Wu Chijin and the others could not produce an ultimatum and could only let the guards capture them.
Generally speaking, although one needed an official notice to travel in the Royal City of Baishou, there were too many guests from various countries during this period of time, and it was impossible to fulfill the request. Even if there was no official notice, at most, they would be expelled from the Royal City. It would not be too difficult.
Wu Chijin and his party were taken away by the guards because they had brawled in the market. Especially since the representatives of various countries were gathered here tonight, the guards in the royal city were required to carry out checks on foreigners.
Wu Chijin and his group followed the guards to a remote official residence in the capital. They were not troubled. The three of them were left in a wing room in the corner. There were no wooden shackles or iron doors and windows. The door was left ajar, barely restricting their freedom of movement. They were not treated as prisoners.
Before leaving, the captain of the guards specially instructed the guards,"Remember to provide food at night. After they turn off the lights, go to the garrison to support them. There's no need to leave anyone here."”
The guard asked doubtfully,"Do we need to keep them?" This place is far from…"
The captain of the guards said impatiently,"It's very chaotic outside tonight. The garrison must be very chaotic. They need help there. The faster you go, the better. I'll personally watch over here later."”
Wu Chijin stretched and said to the cool breeze,"Let's rest here."”
"Don't we have to start rumors again?" Liang Feng asked in confusion.”
Wu Chijin smiled and said,"There's no need. We were just surrounded by the Ninth Princess on the streets and captured by the guards of Baishou Kingdom. I believe the entire Baishou Kingdom must be talking about us now. This is much more effective than us spreading rumors one by one."
After the lights are out, I will restore my appearance. Then, we can go to the Crescent Country's camp. After the big event is over, you two can prepare to meet the Black Mountain Seal.”
Liang Feng asked doubtfully,"Aren't you coming with us?"”
"Because I have a very important person to meet later. After the meeting, we will meet here. It is safe and quiet here.”
Wu Chijin continued in a low voice," Tonight, I will cause a huge commotion in the Royal City of Baishou. Not only will the countries of Wanshan fight to beat me up like a drowning dog, but Baishou will also capture me as the number one criminal. Therefore, the prison of Baishou Country will be our safe haven tonight. At least we won't have to hide everywhere. At most, we will find an opportunity to leave."”
Before going to the meeting, Wu Chijin had to go to the camp of the Crescent Army to see Du Jing. If he wanted to pacify the Crescent Army, he had to pacify Du Jing first. He believed that Du Jing must be panicking at this moment. After all, the Crescent Army was in an extremely difficult and awkward situation. In addition, he had told Du Jing before, so he had to help Du Jing mentally prepare himself.
Du Jing was a natural-born military general. He had a firm will, pure faith, loyalty to the country's leader, and loyalty to his comrades and subordinates. The only thing he lacked was flexibility and resourcefulness. However, this was what Du Jing was most worthy of Yue Qingqiu and Wuchjin's trust.
Wu Chijin and Liang Fengren came to Du Jing's tent. Du Jing and Military Advisor Mao Ming were doing a sand table simulation of any possibilities tonight. Military Advisor Mao Ming's wit had always been praised, but it was because of the schemes that he was unable to become a general. Especially at this moment when the traitor was in a panic, Wu Chijin's outspoken words in front of Mao Ming the night before actually took a big risk.
"Think of a way to bring the military counselor out. I want to talk to Du Jing alone.”Wu Chijin said to Liang Feng in a low voice, testing him on his improvisation.
Liang Feng looked around the tent and replied Wu Chijin in a low voice,"The surrounding security is too tight. I'll just hit his acupuncture points in the air and let him sleep for a while. Is that okay?"”
"Simple, crude, and effective. It's good to have high martial arts skills.”Wu Chijin had always outsmarted others, and sometimes he would forget this crude and simple method. At this time, he was secretly happy that he had a cool breeze and someone to help him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the tent. It must have been the military counselor Mao Ming who had been hit by the cold wind. Wu Chijin secretly praised him in his heart. He was afraid that he would never be able to learn the skill of discerning acupoints by listening to the sound across the tent.
Before Du Jing could call his subordinates to take care of Military Advisor Mao Ming, Wu Chijin and the others had already stepped into the tent. When Du Jing saw that the person who came was Wu Chijin, he hurriedly went forward and said,"Wu…"
Wu Chijin stopped Du Jing from speaking and said,"I know you're good brothers, but it's better for fewer people to know about some things."”
"Pavilion Master Wu, I have a few questions to ask you. This period of time has been too torturous.”
"Go ahead and ask. I'll try my best to answer, but there's not much time left. You have to pick something important to ask.”
" There have been too many rumors in the past two days. Although the Crescent Army brothers absolutely trust Pavilion Master Wu, I still have to come up with a way to appease everyone. Moreover, the Crescent Army will change so much. I'm worried that it will be difficult for the brothers to adapt.”Du Jing said anxiously.
"Listen carefully. You can only keep these words to yourself. When you return to the Crescent Country tomorrow, the ruler will personally clarify most of the rumors, so you don't have to worry about this.”
"Tomorrow?" Du Jing was a little surprised that time had come so quickly.
"That's right. In a while, Cool Breeze will find a way to break the seal. You have to be prepared.
" In addition, in the entire Crescent Country, other than the country ruler, no one can be trusted. Even the country ruler might lie in order to deceive others. Therefore, you have to pay 120% attention to every word of everyone.”Wu Chijin was afraid that Du Jing wouldn't be able to understand, so he spoke slowly and clearly.
"Anyone?" Du Jing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the entire Crescent Country has already been infiltrated and riddled with holes. That's why I told you two nights ago that you don't need to spend energy defending it. In fact, the Crescent Country has already been breached by the enemy. It's just that everyone hasn't shed all pretense of cordiality yet and continues to maintain the facade."
Therefore, it's hard to guarantee that there are no enemies infiltrating the Crescent Army. You have to be more careful when you make decisions. You can't trust anyone. Even the military counselor, Mao Ming, has to be reserved. I was too careless that day and confessed everything to you in front of him.
What I told you the night before, even if something bad happens to you one day, you don't need to tell anyone to continue these things. Therefore, you must protect yourself well.”
Du Jing asked incredulously,"You mean Mao Ming is also a traitor?"”
"I didn't mean that. I meant that you can't trust anyone completely. You have to keep something from everyone. Even if Mao Ming wasn't a traitor, there might be other traitors around him. This was impossible to guard against. It was better to treat everyone as traitors and guard against them. Then, you wouldn't have to worry about who was who.”Wu Chijin explained.
"I lead the troops, but you want me to guard against all my brothers?”Du Jing said awkwardly.
"Yes, I am. As a deputy general, you can be simple and direct, but as a general, you have to put politics and power tactics first. Especially as a leader, you have to get used to loneliness and learn to live with it. Your responsibility is to help the Crescent Moon Country tide over the difficulties, not to share the blessings and difficulties with your brothers.”Wu Chijin said earnestly.
Du Jing looked into Wu Chijin's eyes and remembered that he had been asked by the country ruler to betray the country. He could not help but ask,"Pavilion Master Wu, you have been a Pavilion Master for so long. Are you also very lonely?"”
When Wu Chijin heard Du Jing's question, he smiled bitterly and said," To be honest, I've long forgotten the feeling of loneliness. If you're alone for 24 hours a day, how can you feel lonely?"”
Wu Chijin continued,"Let's go. We don't have the time or the mood to worry about loneliness. We don't even have enough time to fight now. Let's not waste time and let our thoughts run wild."”
Du Jing repeatedly mulled over Wu Chijin's words and silently followed Wu Chijin's footsteps, preparing to accompany Wu Chijin to face the Myriad Mountain Coalition Army.
