Chapter 729 Hero
The dim morning light foreshadowed the chill of the next day. In the tent, Qi Zhengyan's hands changed various seals, which were exquisite and mysterious, containing the charm of water flow and flowers blooming naturally.
The gloomy wind gradually rose, passing through the hall and the room, blowing the cold on the face, and forming a vortex in the center of the tent.
Watching this scene quietly, Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng all recalled Qi Zhengyan's performance in the past half day, and their hearts were full of doubts. There was a sense of absurdity. Why did he suddenly change his temperament and do things carefully and flawlessly, which was in stark contrast to the past.
The only similarity was that he still had no expression, and was used to hiding his emotions. He tried to speak as little as possible when he could.
What did he encounter or happen in this year?
They all looked at Meng Qi, motioning him to find a chance to ask. Although he didn't want to admit it, Meng Qi still had to say that he was the bond and lubricant of the team, a close sister, and a neighborhood committee aunt...
I really have to find a chance to talk to Brother Qi in depth! Meng Qi had an idea about this.
The wind was somewhat dark, and the vortex twisted into a human shape, making a sound of shock, fear, resentment, and confusion:
"Lord!"
The obsession was not a soul thought, and there was no specific content. It was only the most lingering thought before death. The voice echoed in the tent and was blocked by Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei, without any leakage.
"Lord?" Zhao Heng was most sensitive to this kind of title. "Miao Cong is Miao Hu's only son. Who will he call the future leader of the Jiushan Army Lord?"
Qi Zhengyan's face did not change color: "So the person who was killed was not Miao Cong."
Not Miao Cong? Doesn't it mean that Miao Hu has a problem?
If it has nothing to do with Miao Hu, how can the identification of the body be concealed?
"No wonder we were framed when we first arrived at the camp. It was because we were new and could not recognize Miao Cong and would not find any problems." Jiang Zhiwei's brows relaxed.
Ruan Yushu stroked the strings of the zither with his right hand, and then said: "If we don't react quickly enough, Liang Ye will also pretend to make a mistake and destroy the most obvious feature of the corpse."
When Miao Hu confirms that it is his son, I believe no one will doubt it!
Qi Zhengyan loosened his hand, the gloomy wind dissipated, and his voice gradually fell: "The face was originally destroyed, and the identity can only be judged from the dress and the exuberance of flesh and blood."
The matter seems to be very clear. Miao Hu saw that a new alien had come to surrender, so he secretly killed a foreigner and pretended to be his son to frame him, so that he could openly attack and create internal strife. If he succeeded, the righteous army would fall apart, and if he failed, he would have an excuse, so that he would not be besieged and leave a way out!
"This matter must be informed to Du Huaishang and Wanshi Zhenren to see how they respond." Meng Qi thought for a while and said, now that Du Huaishang has recovered more than half and has the ability to activate the magic weapon, it is just right to appear suddenly and suppress the situation.
The matter of spies and internal strife cannot be delayed for too long. We must cut the Gordian knot quickly. Otherwise, there will be attacks from the imperial army outside and intrigues inside. It will be a blessing if the camp is not lost. There is no possibility of turning defeat into victory and attacking the capital across the river!
He straightened his body, and invisible and colorless light flew out from behind his head again. He left his clone sitting in the tent, and the original body sneaked into the central army camp.
Du Huaishang was able to walk, and the vertical lines between his eyebrows opened, and a golden eye grew out. There seemed to be a golden flame burning inside, and a golden crow lived.
After he thanked him solemnly, Meng Qi recounted the matter of obsession.
Du Huaishang's face was heavy. He knew that the morale of the volunteers was unstable during the time he was unconscious, but it had reached this level?
Hu Zhigao and Hou Yue looked at each other. Miao Hu joined the imperial court?
Wanshi Zhenren was stunned, smiled bitterly and sighed: "I thought Miao Hu had just lost his only son and was irreconcilable with the court. I thought that if there was an internal conflict and the king had not woken up, I would temporarily support him. Who knew that he almost fell into the trap and worked for the court."
There was silence in the tent. Du Huaishang's awakening did not seem to make the situation much better. The internal conflict was imminent, and a large army of righteous men had already rebelled!
After pondering for a moment, Du Huaishang glanced at Meng Qi: "Why not test Miao Hu's determination again?"
It was not his wish to lose a big helper!
Meng Qi agreed. The righteous army was weak at present, and another internal conflict would be detrimental to the completion of the mission.
Of course, if it cannot be saved, it must be resolved as soon as possible. There can be no softness or hesitation. Four temporarily united top three strong men are definitely stronger than five strong men with ulterior motives!
"It's been less than half an hour since the death of the Shadow King. The spies here must not have received the news. Why don't you pretend to be unconscious, Du Tianwang, and ask Master Wanshi to come over to discuss surrender. Observe his attitude and behavior. At the critical moment, you stand up and suppress him with your aura to eliminate his wavering thoughts." Meng Qi has seen many similar stories. He thought about it and came up with a solution. Master Wanshi and Du Huaishang looked at each other and nodded slowly. ………… After a while, Hou Yue sneaked into the central army camp with Miao Hu. He first "let it slip" a little, saying that Du Huaishang was seriously injured and difficult to treat, and the Red Army was leaderless, and then said that Master Wanshi asked Jiushan Hou to have a secret talk. Miao Hu heard the music and understood the elegant meaning. He was moved, and he was confident in his strength. He immediately restrained his breath, quietly sneaked out of his own tent, and followed Hou Yue to Du Huaishang's bed. After taking a look at Du Huaishang, whose eyes were closed, breath was weak, and wounds were bleeding, Miao Hu immediately knew what was going on. He looked at Master Wanshi with a sad face: "It is really heartbreaking that King Du is dying for the people." Master Wanshi sighed: "It is a pity that not all the righteous army are righteous. People are restless and have their own ideas. They are about to fall apart. I can't bear to see this situation, so I want to make a final effort."
"Master, please speak." Miao Hu's face straightened.
"Zhu Shou is domineering and greedy, Feng Jingtang is narrow-minded, Liu Shunshui is short-sighted and only cares about his own little piece of land. Only you, Miao Hou, are benevolent and righteous, broad-minded, have been in the army for the longest time, have the greatest reputation, and are strong enough to convince the people." Master Wanshi bowed solemnly, "Please take on this important task for the righteous army and the people of the world. I will definitely help you."
Miao Hu's seemingly old face changed repeatedly, as if he was surprised, happy, and worried.
Seeing his appearance, Master Wanshi's heart sank. There was really a problem!
At this moment, Miao Hu said righteously: "I am really ashamed to be trusted by the master. To be honest, the previous death of Cong'er was fake."
Uh... Master Wanshi and others were a little stunned. Miao Hu actually confessed this!
Miao Hu said with great sorrow: "I was careless for a moment and let Cong'er be kidnapped. Through Liang Ye's threat, I caused an internal conflict."
"I only have this son. I was too concerned and confused. I was blinded by lard and got on the pirate ship. But after listening to the real person's heartfelt words, I suddenly realized that my family's affairs are small, and the world's affairs are big. For the sake of the righteous army and the people, I will just pretend that I have never had this son!"
He said it passionately, as if he would sacrifice his small family for the sake of everyone.
What a hero! The real person Wanshi and Du Huaishang and Meng Qi, who were "listening", all had such feelings.
Such opportunities may only come once in a lifetime, and sons can be reborn in the future!
"Good! Miao Hou is really benevolent and righteous, which makes us ashamed!" A familiar voice came into Miao Hu's heart. He turned his head and found that Du Huaishang stepped out from behind the tent holding the golden "Chengtian Sword", with a vigorous breath and nobleness.
"Du Tianwang?" Miao Hu was speechless and couldn't help looking at the sickbed. He saw that the person on the bed had changed. He was dressed in white, handsome and handsome, with a smile on his face. Du Huaishang said: "With the help of my master, I have recovered from my injuries. I heard that the people in the righteous army were unsettled and there were spies, so I wanted to test them. I didn't expect that Miao Hou was so righteous. I was really ashamed!" Miao Hou's face changed slightly. He looked at the magic weapon in Du Huaishang's hand, and then looked at Wanshi Zhenren and the mysterious master Meng Qi. He immediately returned to normal and stepped forward. He said with surprise: "Testing is inevitable. If I exchanged positions with Du Tianwang, I would do the same. I am comforted to see Tianwang wake up and take charge of the situation again!" After that, he pointed at Meng Qi: "Did you meet this master last night?" "I just call myself 'Shi'. Last night, I only left my incarnation to confuse the enemy. My main body sneaked into the court camp. Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission and killed the Shadow King, helping Du Tianwang recover as before." Meng Qi told the story briefly to give Miao Hu confidence that the court was actually fragile and the righteous army was beginning to become strong. As expected, Miao Hu immediately lost his voice: "Killed the Shadow King in the imperial camp?"
When the magic weapon is fake? When the Martial Emperor and other top three strong men are fake? When the Shadow King, a second-grade strong man, is fake?
"This matter cannot be deceived. It won't take long for you, Miao Hou, to confirm it." Wanshi Zhenren said calmly.
Miao Hu suppressed his doubtful look, looked deeply at Meng Qi, and bowed his hands and said: "Now that the Heavenly King has returned, I will follow your lead!"
He paused and said: "But before that, can you help me rescue my son?"
