Chapter 296, Lao Qi’s choice, take it all!
Dongchang City.
When Song Qingshu and others arrived here after a long journey, it was already dark.
There are already people waiting for everyone in the inn.
"Sir, this is the latest situation." When the leader saw Song Qingshu and others entering, he directly handed over the information in his hand.
Song Qingshu took the letter and nodded: "Arrange a fast horse, we will rest for three hours and then leave."
"The arrangements will be as usual along the way, and a fast horse will be exchanged for three hours."
"Yes." The man responded: "The food is ready. Sir, madam, four girls, please..."
By this time, the inn had already been emptied, and all kinds of meals had been prepared.
It is not a secret that Song Qingshu and others rushed to Xinghe along the way, and they had already sent letters to make arrangements along the way.
These days, Song Qingshu and others basically traveled all night, only resting for a few hours at each place. If it weren't for changing horses, they might not rest at all.
Inside the inn.
Song Qingshu was eating and checking the letter in his hand.
In order to intercept the top masters of Yuanshi, Guangmingding spent almost no time and was always seeking a battle.
The five major sects had already fought against the Yuanshi people not far from Guangmingding, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang had also had several small-scale battles with Yuanshi, preventing Yuanshi from going to Xinghe.
Over at Xinghe, Qi Mu and others have been in trouble recently. All the hidden armies have been exposed, and cities everywhere are gathering for encirclement and suppression.
Shen Wansan played a vital role in it. Military supplies, grain, grass, and medicinal materials solved Lao Qi's worries.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lao Qi is extremely rich now.
According to Lao Qi's message, he has never fought such a rich battle in his life, and he will be in trouble if he loses!
There are many letters, but there is not much key information in them. Most of them are about the trends in various parts of the Central Plains.
The only thing worth noting is that the group of people from Yuanshi who practiced the Long Snake Sutra appeared in Xinghe. There were quite a few people, close to ten people.
"Are you going to take action?" Song Qingshu raised the corner of his mouth with a strange smile and pushed the letter in his hand to Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya.
While drinking a glass of wine.
Seeing Song Qingshu's expression, Yang Xue and others opened the letter curiously.
After watching it for a while, the girls understood why Song Qingshu was like this.
The thirteen people who practice the Long Snake Sutra in Yuanshi have always been the source of strength for Yuanshi. If something goes wrong with these thirteen people, Yuanshi will be in big trouble.
"Where is Jing Bufan and others? No news yet?" Dongfang Zhu closed the letter and spoke in confusion.
They have been checking for news about Jing Bufan and others these days, but the strange thing is that there is no news at all.
"This shouldn't be the case."
"There should be news from Xinghe."
Yang Xue smiled: "If there is no news, there is news."
"As expected, Jing Bufan is also rushing there."
"Maybe it's already here."
"Uh..." The four girls of Youlan Zhuya were confused for a while and spoke one after another.
"Then...they are still watching Qin Jiu suffer."
"Qin Jiu is having trouble with his mentality when he is being forced by Zhang Wuji like this."
"After Qin Jiu became a first-class high school student, he has never played against Zhongyuan. To hit him like this for the first time will be very bad for the future."
"Yes."
"..."
Song Qingshu and Yang Xue looked at each other, laughed, and opened their mouths to explain.
"No matter whether Jing Bufan and others arrive or not, they can only watch."
"The only thing we have to worry about now is that Zhang Wuji doesn't reveal his flaws, otherwise this matter will be a bit difficult to handle."
"Jing Bufan is so smart. Once Jing Bufan knows what Lao Qi and Zhang Wuji are going to do, Wang Baobao will definitely leave."
"This is still a small matter. The most important thing is that the group of people who practice the Long Snake Sutra in Yuanshi don't do anything. That's a big deal."
Youlan Zhuya felt nervous, Zhang Wuji was exposed?
If Zhang Wuji is really exposed, then Lao Qi will be in danger.
"We need to speed up and hold off Jing Bufan and the others?"
Song Qingshu nodded: "Yes, that's why I'm so anxious."
"Zhang Wuji must not be exposed, otherwise it will be very troublesome for Lao Qi to fight against the thirteen people who practice the Long Snake Scripture in Yuanshi."
The four girls Youlan Zhuya felt worried. They all knew the character of Lao Qi and others.
Once Lao Qi and others fight against the Yuanshi group, life or death will really be uncertain.
"Have a good rest and we'll be on our way later." Song Qingshu noticed the worry of the four girls and said.
In this situation now, he couldn't be sure.
Lao Qi and others are determined to enter the chaotic war in the Central Plains, and there are many things that he has no control over.
"You guys eat first, I'll go out and deliver a letter." Song Qingshu walked out directly after eating something.
…
In a forest dozens of kilometers away from Xinghe City.
Twelve people including Lao Qi, Zhang Wuji, and six first-rate masters gathered together.
A group of nineteen people sat leisurely around the fire, eating meat and drinking wine.
Zhang Wuji's hoarse voice sounded: "Since a day ago, I felt someone was following us."
He has been chasing Qin Jiu these days, so he is always vigilant.
The past few days were fine, but starting from today, he clearly noticed something different.
"The top master of Yuanshi!" Everyone's eyes were focused. Everyone was not surprised that the top master of Yuanshi came over, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.
Lao Qi did not doubt Zhang Wuji's acumen at all. These days, he clearly realized Zhang Wuji's strength and said in a deep voice: "Can you confirm the location?"
Zhang Wuji shook his head: "No, I don't dare to move at all, I'm afraid of being exposed."
Liu Bai grinned and tore off a big mouthful of meat: "The fun begins."
"That old guy Jing Bufan is here, and so are the people from Yuanshi who practice the Long Snake Sutra."
"Hehe...it depends on who plots against whom this time."
"Young Master has been looking for guys like Jing Bufan. Putting aside those old guys from Yuanshi, Yuanshi is no match for us this time."
"With the strength of the young master, we can kill a few of them no matter what."
Everyone understood what Liu Bai meant, but the question now was whether Zhang Wuji was exposed.
If Zhang Wuji's identity is discovered by Jing Bufan and others, things will be troublesome later.
Not to mention that Wang Baobao couldn't be saved, the people in the Yuan Dynasty who practiced the Long Snake Sutra couldn't be killed either.
"We have to take action in advance." Qi Mu looked at the blazing flames with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"Young Master will arrive in three days at most. In these three days, we will either force Qin Jiu to run to Wang Baobao, or we will kill some of the people in the Yuan Dynasty who practice the Long Snake Sutra."
"These two goals must be one, otherwise this game will be in vain."
Everyone nodded with serious eyes.
"Operation Tianliang... force Qin Jiu away, don't hold back." Qi Mu looked at the night sky, and finally looked at Zhang Wuji with sharp eyes.
"We can't afford to bet whether you are exposed or not. Jing Bufan is very powerful, very powerful."
"Yuan Shi hasn't jumped out yet because Jing Bufan is a good man and has never forced Zhongyuan, otherwise so many people wouldn't be dead now."
"The main reason why Young Master has always kept his hands on Yuanshi is because of Jing Bufan."
"This person... must be guarded against!"
Zhang Wuji nodded: "I know how to do it, and I will be very cruel tomorrow. Yuan Shi can't afford Qin Jiu to recuperate for a few years at this time."
"Qin Jiu will definitely run away."
time flies……
At dawn, the nineteen people rushed straight to the place where Qin Jiu was.
These days, they have been suppressing Qin Jiu in order to draw out all the masters who follow Qin Jiu.
Originally, they were planning to wait for two days for Song Qingshu to come over, but now they ran out of time and had to make a quick decision.
In a mountain peak not far from Qi Mu and others, Jing Bufan and others knew the moment Qi Mu and others moved.
"We've been discovered. We plan to take action in advance. That person is so sharp." Yuan Qing sighed when he saw Qi Mu and others rushing towards Qin Jiu.
"That man used Persian martial arts, and his internal energy was unusually stable and strange."
"There are only two people in Persia with this kind of strength."
"It's impossible for those two people to come to the Central Plains!"
Yuan Zhe and others nodded. They were very curious about the person who was holding down Qin Jiu.
The Persians... they were a little unconvinced.
But Persia is too far away from here. They have already asked people to inquire and confirm, but this will take time.
"Why is Qi Mu chasing Qin Jiu?" Bagu Cang asked with a frown.
According to his understanding of Qi Mu, although Qi Mu must avenge himself, he is not an unmeasured person.
Song Qingshu has already negotiated with Yuan Shi. It is impossible for Qi Mu to kill Qin Jiu. The most he will do is to seriously injure him. It is definitely not worth paying such a high price to seriously injure Qin Jiu.
Jing Bufan looked at Qi Mu and others leaving with eyes as wide as an abyss.
"They must be plotting something."
"And the plot is very big. If Qi Mu here in Xinghe moves, the whole world will move. If there is no suitable reason, Song Qingshu will not agree."
"Qi Mu has decided to participate in the Central Plains since the beginning of the Emei Sect. This is his first action after leaving the Emei Sect."
"Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang have both stopped advancing. This is too abnormal."
"In today's Central Plains, what else is more important than the advancement of the army?"
Everyone shook their heads, Zhongyuan's goal all along was to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.
The Central Plains army is now so powerful that it is definitely not a wise choice to stop advancing at this time.
"Let's do it, Qi Mu and the others have already left Mongolia." Yuan Qing was silent for a moment before a low voice sounded.
"The condition we originally negotiated with Song Qingshu was that Qi Mu and others were in Mongolia, and the people in the Yuan Dynasty who practiced the Long Snake Sutra would not take action."
"Now that Qi Mu is out, everything depends on fate."
"This battle is unavoidable. Qi Mu and others have already made up their minds, and Song Qingshu didn't stop him."
"No matter what Saiki and the others want to do, nothing can be done as long as they are destroyed."
Bagu Cang said helplessly: "What should Qin Jiu do?"
"In a war of this level, if Qin Jiuyi is involved, no one will hold back. If he dies, he will die."
"Although Song Qingshu promised not to take action against Qin Jiu, no one can control Qi Mu and others from taking action against those who practice the Long Snake Sutra."
Jing Bufan said in a deep voice: "Qin Jiu, let's go!"
"Let Wang Baobao's army march in. No matter what Qi Mu wants to do when he gathers his army, or what the Sky Eagle Sect wants to do in Mongolia, it must be killed."
"Qi Mu, the army, let's solve it together. Mongolia can't have any problems."
"Once there is a problem in Mongolia, the four great khans will put pressure on the Central Plains Yuanshi. Once the battlefield leader is transferred, the Central Plains will be unable to fight this battle, and the Yuanshi will be completely finished, without any room for maneuver."
When everyone saw Jing Bufan speaking like this, they already realized the seriousness of the problem.
They never thought that Qi Mu was going to cause trouble in Mongolia.
The four great Khans of Mongolia were at odds with the Central Plains Yuan Dynasty. Once there was a problem, there was a real problem.
"Okay, I'll ask everyone to come over." Yuan Qing responded and left quickly.
Now that he has decided to take action, there is no room for maneuver. Qi Mu must be allowed to fall to Xinghe. Only in this way can things turn around.
The other side.
Song Qingshu and others are rushing to Xinghe as fast as possible.
In the afternoon, the sound of eagles was heard above several people.
At this moment, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, whether it was Song Qingshu, Yang Xue, or the four girls Youlan Zhuya.
problem occurs! !
This black hawk will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Now that the black hawk is coming, it means that something has changed in Xinghe.
After the black eagle in the sky spotted Song Qingshu, it flew directly towards him like a sharp sword.
Song Qingshu firmly grabbed the black hawk and took the letter. Before he could give the black hawk meat, the black hawk disappeared from the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Something big happened." Yang Xue's heart sank.
Although this black hawk used to be in a hurry to deliver letters, he would occasionally be naughty and eat something.
Today was so unusual that I left in a hurry.
Song Qingshu took a deep breath and opened the letter.
Lao Qi, the people from Yuanshi who practiced the Long Snake Sutra, and Qin Jiu and others all faced off.
At first, Lao Qi took action. In less than a day, all the people hidden in Yuanshi came out, and those who practiced the Long Snake Sutra in Yuanshi began to take action.
By the time the information transmission began, the number of people practicing the Long Snake Sutra in Yuanshi had reached ten.
Wang Baobao's army is also approaching.
Zhang Wuji stared at Qin Jiu. Qin Jiu was fighting and retreating. Lao Qi now wanted to kill Chang Shejing's man, and wanted to send Zhang Wuji into the army camp to take away Wang Baobao.
Put the two things together, if something goes wrong, Lao Qi and others will die.
"Let's go!! Hurry!!" Song Qingshu shouted, jumped up, abandoned the flattery at his feet, used Qinggong and headed towards the mountain forest.
"Confused!!"
"Why are you so crazy at this time? Being greedy will cause big trouble."
According to Song Qingshu's original idea, these two things could be one, but now Lao Qi wants them all.
He knew the character of Lao Qi and others. Lao Qi and others wanted to help Zhang Wuji, even if a few people died.
But Song Qingshu couldn't accept this result.
Wang Baobao will die if he dies. Nothing can happen to Lao Qi and others, absolutely not!
Even if he negotiated terms with Jing Bufan, taking a small loss in exchange for Wang Baobao wouldn't let anything happen to Qi Mu.
"After this, if I don't give you a beating, I will take your last name!!"
In the forest, Song Qingshu let out roars, followed by Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya, whose expressions changed again and again.
They could see that Song Qingshu was really angry this time. They had never seen Song Qingshu like this before.
"Lao Qi and the others are going to kill that idiot Zhang Wuji!! That idiot doesn't know anything yet!!" After Song Qingshu roared angrily, an extremely angry voice sounded.
At the same time, the letter in his hand was thrown directly to Yang Xue and others, and his progress slowed down a little.
The girls looked at the letter, their faces all darkened.
Something big happened! !
No wonder Song Qingshu was so angry.
According to their arrangement with Song Qingshu, this game has been completed by now.
As long as the Yuanshi practitioners of the Long Snake Sutra take action and Lao Qi cooperates with Zhang Wuji to kill two or three people, the war between Zhongyuan and Yuanshi Wulin will basically be over.
But now... Lao Qi actually chose to face the group of people practicing the Long Snake Sutra in Yuanshi himself in order to let Zhang Wuji save Wang Baobao and prevent Zhang Wuji from revealing his identity.
Once Zhang Wuji enters the army and takes Wang Baobao away, he will inevitably face an encirclement and suppression by the army. In the battle between Lao Qi and Yuan Shi practicing the Long Snake Sutra, Zhang Wuji will not be able to help at all.
The only way to break the situation was for Zhang Wuji to wait until the army came over, relieve the siege, and then support Qi Mu and others.
This time is at least fifteen days, and Lao Qi and the others simply cannot bear it.
Lao Qi is a person who must be killed in the eyes of the Yuanshi martial arts world. The group of people who practice the Long Snake Sutra in the Yuanshi want to destroy Lao Qi even if they sacrifice their lives. (End of chapter)
