Chapter 26: Departure
The whole battle of Pingyang City, involving the human and beast races, and making the entire northwest region chaotic, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of the empire, in the past, as long as the conflict between the human and animal races was fierce, the battle was almost this scale.
However, counting the previous man-beast wars, there has never been such a drastic change in the world, the redrawing of mountains and landforms, this amazing situation, since the end of the war of the hundred tribes, has never happened, this time the man-beast drama, the northwest mountains and rivers changed, a series of earthquakes, sky changes, the war report was transmitted back to the empire, shaking the major families, sects.
The envoys of each family hurriedly went to the northwest to find out the detailed situation, and anyone could see that there must be another inside story behind this war, otherwise, with the strength on the table, how could a beast venerable, a group of beast kings and earth levels be shattered, and the heavens and the earth changed on a large scale?
Beneath the superficial confrontation between the two armies, there must be an inside story hidden deep in, but what exactly is this inside story? What forces are operating in the shadows? This is the information that the major forces urgently need to discover.
In any case, the two main people who had the most contact with all this were the Sima family and the beast clan in Pingyang, and it was impossible to ask the beast clan, but at least they could ask Sima's family, so within a few days after the war, Sima's house was full of visitors from all sides, and even the seriously injured Sima Linggong was forced to get out of bed.
Although it was very tossed, but the result was discouraged, the Sima family's answer was all without comment, the envoys of all parties thought that the Sima family was hiding secrets at first, which was also expected by all parties, and they could only exchange interests under various tables, but after a period of secret negotiations, they finally figured out that the Sima family really didn't know anything, and they were really dizzy.
In contrast, the coping strategy of the King Kong Temple is much simpler, the monks who have participated in the battle in Yungang Pass and Pingyang City, especially those Zen masters who participated in the construction of the Yuehuang Beach, as soon as they return to the King Kong Temple, they all enter the secret room, and those who have the ability to read their thoughts and feelings will export their memory images, and they will desperately write reports if they do not have this ability.
One person's knowledge and knowledge may be limited, but when everyone knows and gathers it, it may be able to sort out the true face of the whole thing.
In a few days, all the families were busy in a mess, and there was a rumor that after this war with the beast clan, the imperial capital was shaken, and someone went to the secret report, and the Son of Heaven was furious, throwing the chapter to the ground, and vowed to punish him heavily.
Whose recital it is? What does it say? Why is the Son of Heaven angry? Who is he going to punish? No one knows about these things, but they paint pictures and pictures that make people's hearts panic, and there are those who are afraid, those who are happy, and there is no shortage of people who scold.
In this battle, no matter who is responsible, the top one will definitely not be able to run away, Sima Linggong and Wu Cangni must be one of the inverted friezes, and even two of them will not be able to escape. The central authorities did not help much during the war, and the war was won hard, but they were "furious" over there, and they said that they would be punished.
Under the premise that it is impossible to rebel, the choices they can make are actually very limited, one is to accept punishment silently, and the other is to do a limited struggle to express their anger and dissatisfaction to the Li family.
During the discussion, everyone in the Sima family faced a very nerve-wracking problem, that is, no matter how to fight, unless the Sima family directly reversed, otherwise Tianwei was furious, and someone would always have to go out to shoulder the blame, everyone was the descendant of Lao Linggong, and there was no reason to sit back and watch the ancestors bear the guilt, so ...... If you have enough weight and qualifications, there is only one left.
Before, no one was in charge of the Sima family, Wu Cangni was entrusted by the old Linggong to take care of military and political affairs, not everyone in the Sima family was convinced, and a lot of controversy broke out.
“...... By and large, they think so. ”
Sima Luping said: "For Wu Shuai, they are still not convinced, thinking that the ancestral inheritance cannot be handed over to a woman with a foreign surname, but how can you say that you also led them to win the battle, drove away the beast clan, and let you carry the crime is too unrighteous, if this kind of thing happens, there will be no one who is willing to fight in the Sima family in the future......"
“...... The Sima family is all real people. ”
Wu Cangni smiled dumbly, although she didn't care much about her future situation, but the reaction of Sima's family still touched her a lot.
Since marrying into Sima's family, he has long had no hope for getting along with this family, and he doesn't think that his efforts can be exchanged for their favor, not to mention, what he has to do, Qiao Feng's ideals, are originally in touch with their thinking, and if you want to do those things, you can't take into account their feelings, and annoying people is the inevitable result.
The only thing that is enough to comfort yourself is the object of your own payment, not a group of bad people, so that even if you don't get their favor and recognition, you can still comfort yourself...... Now it seems that at least he didn't pay the wrong person, and the Sima family is still quite authentic......
“...... Lu Ping, what do you think a group of grandsons surnamed Li are playing this time?"
Putting aside the reaction of the Sima family, Wu Cangni pointed to the source of the problem.
Regarding the rumors of the emperor's wrath on the ground, Wu Cangni didn't think it was as simple as it seemed, especially after the military department sent the city building components, she couldn't see through the group of people in the temple, and felt unfathomable.
If these people really want to deal with the Sima family or themselves, they will definitely have no warning in advance, and they will suddenly start to attack, instead of making a huge noise like now, but there are traces of "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger".
Sima Luping said: "It's hard to say, Wu Shuai, you have done too many things over the years, which are not tolerated by the law, and are not even allowed to be allowed in the world, and it is not good to say, colluding with the Nine Foreign Dao, colluding with the beast clan, transferring military funds, and killing the people under your jurisdiction...... All of them are big crimes, and if you start over, everything can ruin your reputation. ”
Wu Cangni laughed at herself: "Yes, those who were born in the Great Rebellion Organization are not good at this, and they will make mistakes without knowing it, and they will become female demons." ”
"I have long advised you that if you continue to do this, if you are exposed to the sun, the world will not tolerate it. However, in the eyes of the grandsons above, you are probably not as guilty of so many crimes as a person who fornicates with a broken star. ”
Sima Luping said earnestly, a few days ago, Wu Cangni captured the Pingyang Talisman and commanded the army to resist the enemy, in the process, the old department of the Broken Star hidden inside and outside Pingyang, directly or indirectly contributed, although there were remedies and cover-ups afterwards, and it was difficult to investigate in the war, but in the eyes of those who cared, these traces could not be completely erased, and the source pointed to Wu Cangni.
“...... Let it come, since you have done it, are you still afraid to admit it?" Wu Cangni said indifferently: "The surname Wu has done right and wrong in his life, but he has never done anything, and he dare not carry it after doing it." ”
"Things may not be so bad...... Sima Luping persuaded: "There is another possibility, that is, the defeat of Yungang Pass, this matter involves the Fengdao Alliance, and it is also worth investigating, if the imperial court wants to pursue the truth of this matter, Wu Shuai, you are just a witness, and it has nothing to do with the Sima family." ”
...... But the matter will turn to the head of the Fengdao Alliance, and the first to bear the brunt is the group of people who came to the northwest, and this group of people has died so that only Situ Xiaoshu is left, if they want to be investigated, the responsibility will all fall on the head of Situ Xiaoshu.
"Never!"
Wu Cangni's expression suddenly became extremely serious, "This matter has another inside story, it doesn't matter what the kid does, I have observed, she is full of righteousness, she is full of courage, she is a good seedling of the righteous path, in this battle of Pingyang City, in order to prove her innocence, she worked harder than the children of the Sima family, and almost beheaded a beast king......"
Speaking of this, Wu Cangni was embarrassed, the Sima family forgot to die when they went to the battlefield, it is famous, it is really rare to be able to die better than them in the battle, and a high-level martial artist, if you want to cut down the ground steps, it is not a desperate sentence that can be done, Situ Xiaoshu struggled like this, and got seriously injured in bed, even Wu Cangni saw heartache.
"That kid will be a mainstay of decency in the future, and I don't want her to be caught up in some unrelated conspiracy and die prematurely. ”
Wu Cangni said: "I can talk to her quite well, and I heard her say that she must participate in the proud banquet...... Well, she may not be able to catch up with her current injury, and it will be a stepping stone for people to go, so I will consider learning a few kung fu skills with her......"
Not only Sima Luping was surprised, but even Wu Zhanhao, who was walking next to him, was stunned, because although Wu Cangni was strong, he had never passed on anyone's martial arts.
Wu Zhanhao wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, no matter how Situ Xiaoshu said that he was a member of the Fengdao Alliance, and his grandfather was the strongest man in the world, which turn would it be the turn of outsiders to teach the arts?
The words were about to be spoken, Wu Zhanhao suddenly understood, Situ Xiaoshu knew that he was in an embarrassing situation, and he was suspicious, so he fought hard to the death, and his sister showed a posture of putting her heart into her heart, teaching art is still secondary, and letting Situ Xiaoshu feel at ease is the main meaning.
Wu Zhanhao smiled bitterly: "Sister, you are too good." ”
Wu Cangni sighed: "The waves behind the river push the waves ahead, it's time for the generations to change and cultivate the next generation...... Girl, let me have less regrets. ”
After the war, Sima Bingxin was sent back, and now he has been outside the city, and the Sima family's brigade has gone out of the city to greet him, and Situ Xiaoshu said yesterday that if Sima Bingxin comes back, he hopes to meet him in person to dispel the mustard between the two.
Although he didn't know the source of the grievances between the two girls, he guessed that most of the fault was on Sima Bingxin, and Situ Xiaoshu's approach was generous, although he was young, he had already seen the style of a general.
Now, Wu Cangni just respected Situ Xiaoshu's idea and came to pick up Situ Xiaoshu and go out of the city to greet her, but considering that she was seriously injured, Wu Cangni still wanted to persuade her not to go first.
knocked on the door twice, but there was no response, everyone pushed the door in, Situ's small study was empty, the building was already empty, and the martial arts changed color when he was fighting, "It's not good!
