Chapter 611: Choice
When cavalry first appeared, many thought they were helpers.
You can't completely blame this group of martial arts people for being careless, they are not fools who listen to the wind or rain, but strictly abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and relevant news will only be trusted if it comes from the mouth of a friend, otherwise, even if it is personally invited by a senior official in Beiting, it will be subject to the most severe suspicion.
Tens of thousands of arrows shot by the cavalry of the North Court poured down like a torrential rain, forcing the crowd to move closer to the core, and soon, nearly a thousand people were huddled together, panicked, and didn't understand how the situation could have become like this, he was obviously doing things for the prince of the North Court, why was he besieged?
The cavalry stopped outside the arrowfield and did not continue the offensive, which reassured the encircled men and freed up time to find out the truth.
As a result, layer after layer up, the "friends" of the "friends" were exposed, and in the end, the spearheads were all pointed at the masters of several famous factions in the Central Plains, who were the first to spread the news and swore to guarantee that the operation division was famous and there was no danger or danger.
The nine major sects of the Central Plains Martial Arts, seven of which secretly sent their disciples into the North Court, changed their names, and became the guests of the princes, they witnessed and personally participated in the chaos of the struggle for the throne of the Khan, so when the prince hinted that the old Khan King was dead and needed outsiders to eradicate the "mage", they immediately believed five or six points, especially the news came from the mouths of different princes who were extremely opposed, and it increased its credible surname to ** points.
The appearance of cavalry, proving that everything is a hoax.
Dozens of disciples of the Seven Sects became the target of public criticism, and the accusations were more dense than the rain of arrows from the Beiting cavalry.
The seven factions reacted very quickly, and immediately joined together to increase their strength, first to stabilize the panicked crowd, and then to elect representatives, negotiate with the besiegers, and figure out what was going on, and when they found out that the commander who led the troops was the Holy King, they finally understood that this could not be a misunderstanding.
In the ten days of the North Court, only the second king, who was addicted to alcohol and birds, had never hired a master from the Central Plains and the Western Regions from beginning to end.
The Holy King watched coldly from a distance, these people had fallen into his net, no matter how he struggled, it was impossible to escape, it was too boring to just shoot and kill, he had a better way.
"Lord Wang, there is a misunderstanding here, we are loyal to Beiting. "The representatives of the seven factions still want to struggle for the last time.
King Shengyue snorted, these Central Plains masters, half of them came to fish in troubled waters, and half of them wanted to bring back the head of the old Khan King and get a heavy reward from the emperor, where did they get their loyalty?
"Loyalty or disloyalty, you can't just talk about it, you have to make a real statement. ”
"What does that mean?"
"If you want to prove that you are a wolf, kill a few cattle and sheep, and if you want to show your loyalty to Beiting, kill the Central Plains people for me, the more you kill, the more loyal you are, do it, I will only keep the last fifty people." ”
When the news reached the core, everyone was dumbfounded, Beiting actually asked them to kill each other to prove their loyalty, this is nearly a thousand people, they are either relatives and friends or the same family, how can they do it?
Dozens of swordsmen from the Western Regions suddenly threw away the weapons in their hands and ran outside, shouting at the same time: "We are not from the Central Plains!"
Beiting's answer was a salvo, telling the group of swordsmen that they weren't from Beiting either.
More than a dozen corpses fell to the ground, and those who wanted to break out of the encirclement immediately dispelled their impulse, and in the face of tens of thousands of bows and crossbows, even immortals could not escape.
It is impossible to escape, but the suspicion between each other is getting heavier and heavier, everyone feels that they have been deceived by their "friends", and they have become the most damned person just now.
The killing began in a veiled manner, and no one mentioned anything about loyalty, using other excuses: tricking me into the death operation, borrowing a lot of money, glaring at me for no reason.
The cavalry of the North Court had already lit countless torches, illuminating the northern forbidden area as bright as day, but the Saint King felt that it was still not clear enough, if he wasn't worried about safety, he really wanted to run to the front to watch.
The killing once had a tendency to expand into a melee, but the excitement of the Saint King did not last long, and the people of the Central Plains always seemed to have a way to quickly formulate the rules, even if they were dying, although the seven major factions lost their credibility, there were other well-known figures in the rivers and lakes who stood up to stop the meaningless killing, and changed it to one competition after another.
The king of the saint said that he was bored, and was trying to force the prey to fight more fiercely, but soon changed his mind, so that the killing could continue until dawn, so that he could see more clearly, and he only sent someone to convey one order: the sooner the person who moves, the more trustworthy the loyalty to the North Court.
Old Man Mu's purpose was at least one fulfillment: Shangguan Fei could kill people at will......
He didn't run away, if it was before, if there were ten times more cavalry, he would have been sure to pass safely between the hooves of the horses, but now, he has more than enough strength and can only rely on the protection of others.
Shangguan Fei tried to explain that he was a subordinate of the Dragon King and was not an accomplice to this group of rebels, but in exchange for a contemptuous reply from the subordinates of the Holy King: "Who is the Dragon King? ”
Under the persecution of Old Man Mu, he could only participate in the competition, one after another, killing nine people in a row, and getting covered in blood, so that in the end no one dared to come up and challenge again.
When Gu Shenwei and the four elders of Yuqing came to the scene, the situation was like this, the sky had just dawned, and nearly a hundred people had already died, and the Holy King ordered to extinguish the torches, ready to exert pressure to make the killing more bloody.
The Dragon King was exactly what he was looking forward to.
"Why are my people also surrounded inside?" Gu Shenwei asked, already knowing the general situation in his heart.
The Saint King made a surprised expression, "The Dragon King's subordinates are also inside? How did this happen? They have embarrassed the Dragon King, and they even participated in the rebellion behind your back." ”
The four elders of Yuqing also saw the Dao theory, but they didn't dare to squeak, but moved to the side and hid behind the cavalry.
"There must be a misunderstanding in it, let them come out and explain. ”
The king sat on horseback, glanced at the two camels leading the way, turned to the dragon king, and smiled, "It's a pity, no matter whether there is a misunderstanding here, I can't let them out, this is the order of the old Khan king, I am not as bold as the dragon king's subordinates, dare to disobey the will." ”
"I want to see the old Khan. Gu Shenwei didn't mention the armistice agreement between him and Beiting, it would only be a waste of words, it was the Beiting cavalry who surrounded Shangguan Fei and the others, but the people who were doing it were martial arts people from the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
"The old Khan King also wants to see the Dragon King, but the Dragon King has to accept a test first, the reason, you also understand, there will only be masters left in this circle later, and then please ask the Dragon King to come out with a knife and kill the traitor for the Old Khan King, not much, ten people are enough. ”
The Holy King turned to the four elders of Yuqing again, but there was no smile on his face, "You are the same. ”
"We have met the old Khan, and his loyalty has been tested. Dao Nian was both frightened and angry, and could only barely keep his composure.
"As long as you are not from Beiting, you have to be tested again, without exception, and if you bring outsiders into the palace privately, I don't think your loyalty is very reliable. ”
"What about them? The proud building is not from the North Garden. The tall Daoxiu pointed to the two camels and asked, even more unconvinced than the senior brother.
Although they were all mages hired by the old Khan, the competition between them was fierce.
"We're going to kill people too. A camel said.
"I'm sure I'll kill more than you. Another camel said.
It wasn't just the Dragon King and the Yuqing faction that were called to prove their loyalty, it didn't take long for more and more masters to be brought over, and the seven factions were more cautious, leaving some of their disciples behind, who did not participate in last night's operation, they were the same as the Dragon King, watching their fellow disciples being trapped, but they were helpless, and they didn't even dare to open their mouths to plead.
The passage given up by the cavalry was wider, and a total of thirty-seven masters had to choose between their companions and the north court.
The people are already together, and the King of the Saint is very happy, this is a wonderful drama that he has been looking forward to for a long time, "Everyone. He spoke to the thirty-seven masters, casually chatting, "I don't have the slightest doubt about your loyalty, you can see killing people as a test, or as doing your duty, Beiting needs you to show your sword, and the old Khan King admires the blood-stained warriors, so this is actually your chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
The besieged people had already seen their acquaintances and fellow disciples outside, and they couldn't help but have hope in their hearts, and they stopped the competition one after another, not daring to rush out, but only shouting in place.
Old Man Mu and Shangguan Fei saw the Dragon King early in the morning and shouted louder than anyone else, "Dragon King, we are here to help you, somehow we are trapped here, help us out." ”
Thirty-seven masters, not one of them responded.
The hope of the besieged gradually turned into confusion, and then turned to anger, some people scolded, some people sighed, only the old man Mu nodded admiringly, "I have always felt that the dragon king is not shameless enough, now it seems that I look down on him a little, you see, everyone else lowered their heads, pretending not to hear anything, and the dragon king held his head high, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all." ”
"Ah, won't the Dragon King save us?" Shangguan Fei's courage had not yet been practiced, and at this time it fell to the bottom again.
"Nonsense, if you were standing outside, would you kill yourself to save the people inside?" Although Old Man Mu didn't want to die, he could see it, "I'll try to kill more people later, and strive to become one of the last fifty people." ”
Shangguan Fei felt that he was about to vomit, and looked back at Chu Nanping, Hongfu and the Dragon King's guards, these people were more calm than Old Man Mu, and seemed to regard the Dragon King's indifference as normal.
Only Tie Linglong stood behind Chu Nanping and snorted coldly.
The bare-chin Taoist theory has not given up hope, the five elders of Yuqing have been practicing martial arts together since childhood, and they have been friends for decades, thinking that their friendship is extraordinary, and they are still calling "senior brother" non-stop.
Dao Nian suddenly became angry, could it be that the junior brother was a fool? I couldn't see how dangerous the current situation was, so I had to shout so loudly and involve the other four people?
"Taoism. Dao Nian came out of the crowd and shouted sharply, "You still have the face to call me senior brother? The old Khan King treats you well, but you participate in the rebellion behind our backs, do you still want us to forgive you?"
Dao Lun's face changed suddenly, and he stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears, Old Man Mu patted him on the waist twice, "Welcome to the real Yuqing faction." ”
Dao Nian's angry shouts played an exemplary role, and the other masters opened their mouths one after another to reprimand the besieged partners, each more passionate and generous than the other, with only one meaning, they did not know about the rebellion, and they were loyal to Beiting and the old Khan King.
King Shengyue looked at the first ** of the big drama with satisfaction, and was leisurely fascinated by the next scene, "Okay, the competition continues, before lunch, only the truly loyal people are left here, the old Khan king......"
The king prepared a large set of speeches, but was interrupted by an accident.
In front of everyone's eyes, the Dragon King strode towards the encirclement, neither fast nor slow, as if tens of thousands of cavalry did not exist at all.
