Chapter 471: Bet

The mutiny began in the southeast corner of the barracks and quickly spread around.

The rebels' code was "Fearless", and those areas where the soldiers of the Five Nations were concentrated, the most instigators, broke into the tents, and in the name of the kings of the countries, ordered the people inside to go out with them to make trouble, and if there happened to be other soldiers in the tents, they attacked indiscriminately.

One of the immediate consequences of the mutiny, many unknown soldiers, picking up their weapons and walking out of their tents, had no idea who they were fighting for, and one of the immediate consequences was that the mutiny seemed to be on a large scale at first.

Gu Shenwei was faced with a difficult choice at that time, he already knew that the real organizers of the rebellion were neither the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms nor the nobles of the Xiangji Country, and the more than 20 people who were caught were just fools who were used as guns, and their only role was to disturb the judgment of the Dragon King.

But whoever sows the spark of rebellion can cause a raging fire of mutiny in the entire barracks, after all, 20,000 soldiers of the Wandering Sea make up two-thirds of the dragon army, and a large number of them have just joined the army, and their loyalty to the dragon king is very unreliable.

In order to show that he was not involved in the rebellion, dozens of high-ranking generals in the main account of the dragon army unanimously proposed to take measures to suppress it.

Forceful repression may be falling into the enemy's designed trap, causing even more chaos and deeper divergence, but at the time, it seemed like the only option, and as long as the suppression was fast enough, it would be worth it even if it caused some mishap.

Gu Shenwei was actually inclined to suppress, he believed that as long as the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were dispatched, they would soon be able to eradicate a small number of rebels, and he was even prepared to suffer one or two thousand casualties, which was like the wounded people squeezing out pus and blood, and naturally there would be good blood mixed in it.

The Lotus Girl and the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, Chu Nanping and the Killer Apprentice were all ready, this was a plan that Gu Shenwei had made a long time ago.

It was Dugu Xian who made him change his mind at the last moment.

Dugu Xian didn't believe that the army he had trained would be so easily instigated, and he said, "Let me try." ”

General Zuo's voice was drowned out by a cacophony of shouting and suppression, and he had to raise his voice and say again, "Let me try." ”

The Dragon King was the first to notice him, and then the others, even Prince Kang and those captives, all looked at Dugu Xian, not understanding what he was going to "try".

"There's no need to go on a killing spree, the soldiers are in a state of panic, I think I can convince them and give me a little time. ”

Several Great Snow Mountain swordsmen smiled unabashedly, they had participated in the suppression of riots in the army many times, and they knew the importance of force, if it weren't for the swordsmen scattered in each army of thousands to supervise the recruits, it is estimated that the dragon army would have been torn apart.

Dugu Xian wanted everything to go according to plan, but after joining the Dragon Army, he found that he had to take risks from time to time.

The total number of the dragon army reached a little more than 30,000, and it was only a very small number of swordsmen in the Great Snow Mountain who determined the temperament of the whole army, whether it was out of reverence and jealousy, or because of obedience and imitation, the soldiers of the dragon army were slowly infected with a competitive character, which was a good thing, which could improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but there were also side effects, and the soldiers were always skeptical of generals at all levels.

The Dragon King's martial arts are the strongest, and no one doubts this.

The swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were brave and warlike, and the generals selected from among them were rarely suspected, and even ordinary swordsmen were always respected.

As for the rest, that's a different story.

Dugu Xian only has one arm left, and his martial arts are also very average, but he is the general Zuo appointed by the Dragon King himself, and he has shown superhuman ability in the process of training soldiers, which has won him a lot of authority, but it is far from being a stable position, just like this proposal to cross the sea in the south, there are many objections, to put it bluntly, everyone still does not trust his ability enough.

Dugu Xian's resume didn't help much, his most important record was to lead the Jinpeng army to encircle and suppress the Dragon King, and he did not win a complete victory, but suffered heavy casualties, and finally even surrendered himself.

That's why he took the risk.

He couldn't outperform most people in martial arts, and he couldn't come up with shocking tricks and tactics, so he could only take another path.

"All I need is ten guards. Dugu Xian stared at the Dragon King, not looking at the others.

Speaking from his heart, Gu Shenwei did not have much confidence in the general Zuo he appointed.

Fang Wen and Zhong Heng have their own shortcomings, but they have both proved their abilities in a certain aspect, only this Dugu Xian, who commands the whole army, the two have little contact, and so far, Gu Shenwei has not found his superiority.

Reusing Dugu Xian is a last resort, Gu Shenwei hopes to regularize the Dragon Army, he himself has no experience in this, and the soldiers under his command are not as good as him, as for the generals of the Five Kingdoms, it is already reluctant to command an army of 1,000 people, not to mention that the position is still very unfirm.

Maybe this is an opportunity to find out the details of Dugu Envy and see if this surrendered general who is not known by Dubu King has real skills.

"Go, you've got half an hour. "Gu Shenwei is also taking risks, the best time to suppress the rebellion is the beginning of this period, and when it spreads, it will become very tricky.

Therefore, as soon as Dugu Xian left the tent, someone said to the Dragon King, "Dragon King, General Zuo...... In the past, he was the favorite general of the Dubu King, do you want to send someone to spy on him?"

"No, I'm in my own hands. ”

Of course, Gu Shenwei would not rest assured that Dugu Xian would take ten guards to quell the rebellion, even if he was trustworthy, he might be killed by the rebels, he had already hinted that among General Zuo's guards, there would be a lotus girl and several Xiaoyuetang masters.

"Let's wait for the good news. ”

Gu Shenwei had to make a look of completely believing Dugu Envy on the surface, otherwise, the adventures of the two would be meaningless.

As he spoke, he looked at Prince Kang, who was still standing with his head held high.

Prince Kang hopes that Xiaoyaohai can also have a character like the Dragon King, but unfortunately, he is still only an enemy and an invader, "The soldiers of the five countries responded to every call, and it was useless to send General Zuo to appease, he was an outsider, and he didn't understand the customs of Xiaoyaohai at all, and his words had no weight." ”

Under normal circumstances, Gu Shenwei is reluctant to talk more about the enemy who has been identified, but Prince Kang is a little different, he used to be the same as the members of the five royal families, usually stupid and arrogant, and cowered at critical moments, but after joining the Dragon Army, he has undergone a metamorphosis, and he is willing to pay the price of his life for a cause, even if he looks at the entire Western Regions, this is also a rare quality.

The Jinpeng Killer and the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall are also willing to sacrifice at any time, but they are a group of people who have no choice, which greatly reduces the meaning of sacrifice.

"The mysterious guest you invited is probably Shangguan Yun, the third young master of Jinpeng Castle. Gu Shenwei guessed that the person who came to pick up the fragments of the "Book of No Dao" should be Shangguan Yun, and after the completion of the work, he planned a mutiny by the way, which was very similar to the style of the third young master.

"So what?"

Prince Kang was also frank, and the shouts outside the tent became louder and louder, and his confidence rose with it.

The captured rebels were most surprised by this, and they had always thought that Prince Kang was against both the Dragon King and the Dubu King.

Prince Kang felt the need to defend himself, so he continued, "If Xiaoyaohai wants to survive in the cracks, it must rely on the power of the strong, but I will not make the same mistake as last time, let the robbers turn against the guest, and rely on Xiaoyaohai to not leave." ”

"If you die, who will carry out your plan?" Gu Shenwei asked, like a curious bystander, not paying attention to the rebellion outside the tent and the conspiracy of the Five Royal Families.

Prince Kang was silent for a while, "Naturally, there are people, even if they throw me into the oil pot, I won't say it." ”

Gu Shenwei snorted briefly, Prince Kang was still too simple, and the most exaggerated torture he could think of was only the oil pot, "Let me think about it, these words were all said by Shangguan Yun to you, right?"

"It's not. Prince Kang immediately denied it, feeling that the Dragon King's speculation was an insult.

But Gu Shenwei knows Shangguan Yun's methods too well, and the third young master has the ability to always put himself in the other party's shoes, instilling a set of seemingly reasonable ideas into the target's mind, but then he will ruthlessly abandon the target.

"Have you ever thought that Shangguan Yun deliberately let you people fall into the net, so that even if the rebellion is successful, you are all dead heroes and will not get any benefits, but he can re-establish a group of obedient people, under the banner of 'heroes', take away the army, and occupy the entire Xiaoyaohai?"

Prince Kang was stunned for a moment, obviously he hadn't thought about this question, but when he turned his head and looked at the twenty-six neatly captured accomplices, he suddenly understood something.

"It can't be. "Prince Kang has lived for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to muster up the courage to do a great cause, and he must not accept that this cause is a scam, "Haha, you want to lie to me and tell me all the truth, I'm not that stupid, and besides, don't you think it's too late?"

"It's not too late, I'll make a bet with you. ”

"Bet, bet on what?" Prince Kang was surprised by the dragon king's leisurely manners.

"Shangguan Yun planned this rebellion under the banner of the independence of the five countries of Xiaoyaohai, so he wants to set up a group of dead heroes, that is, you people, and one or two living heroes, who will be his puppets afterwards. And you also have a few names hidden in your heart that you refuse to say. I bet that the heroes that Shangguan Yun is going to launch will never be on the list you approve. ”

This is a peculiar gamble, Prince Kang wanted to refuse disdainfully, but his mind was moving, Shangguan Yun opened a door, and the Dragon King opened another door, the former revealed a very attractive scenery, but the latter pointed to the cruel truth, he had already begun to waver, "What is the bet?"

"Twenty-seven lives, if Shangguan Yun can keep his promise unprecedentedly, I will spare you from death. ”

Adding to the enemy's victory is something that only the Dragon King can do.

There was pen and paper on the table, Gu Shenwei picked up the pen, quickly wrote a few words, folded the paper, and handed it to the guards around him, and the guards sent it to Prince Kang.

Prince Kang opened it and took a look at it, and calmed down, "This person is indeed not on my list, but, Dragon King, you will lose badly this time, and I hope that you will be the last one to keep your promise." ”

The twenty-six captives all looked relieved when they heard this, and as long as their lives could be saved, everything else could be said.

The other generals didn't know why, and even felt that the dragon king was a little too big, what kind of bet was he making with a group of traitors?

But everyone wondered, who was the name written by the Dragon King, and he didn't see anyone come to whisper to the Dragon King, could it be that sitting here and not moving, he guessed Shangguan Yun's tricks?
