Chapter 731: Imperial City Debate
Then Xie Qingyun told Ma Zhen not to make a noise about this matter, so as not to cause more trouble, although this matter is troublesome, you only need to believe him. Although Ma Zhen and Xie Qingyun have only been together for a few months, they are also one of the two people who have been with him for the longest time in the camp who are still alive, and they have long been convinced of his ability and ability, if it weren't for the fact that Ding Nu has changed from weird to worse, he would have been as suspicious of Xie Qingyun as other fire warriors, but now that he has Ding Nu, the opposite of Xie Qingyun, although it does not make him fully believe in Xie Qingyun, at least he is more inclined to him.
Xie Qingyun already knew about this matter, and he didn't want to involve Ma Zhen, lest Zhang Tao find out in advance, and he would send someone or personally to quietly take Ma Zhen's life. Zhang Ta would not be stupid enough to kill him at this juncture, and even in order to avoid suspicion, he would not even enter the prison where he was held once, but Ma Zhen was different, if he asked him to help him in secret, Zhang Ta would not be suspected at all if he wanted to kill him after he found out. Ma Zhen also understood what Xie Qingyun meant, and knew that if he wanted to help, not only would he be in danger, but he would also disrupt Xie Qingyun's plan, so he agreed.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Ta handed over the news to the Martial Emperor in front of all the camp generals, and sent it to Jiuxiao through the special Harrier Falcon of the Fire Martial Horse, according to the flight range of this kind of Harrier Falcon, it would take about a few days to get a reply. In the next few days, Xie Qingyun in prison saw more than a dozen fire soldiers, since they all heard that he had returned, they came to visit him, more than half of the dozen or so people were veterans of the war camp who survived the war a year and a half ago, Xie Qingyun also learned from them that in that war, the most killed were the fire soldiers in the war camp.
But there was no sadness in the mouths of these veterans. Instead, it's all pride. These people were able to come to visit Xie Qingyun, because they felt that there might be some kind of misunderstanding between him and Zhang Tao. Didn't fully believe that he was a traitor, so when talking to him. There was no righteous indignation. As for most of the fire warriors in the entire Fire Warrior Cavalry, most of them believe in Zhang Ta, but no matter whether the Fire Warrior Rider is rough or introverted, there is no reckless person, before the matter is completely confirmed, they will not go to the prison to scold Xie Qingyun bitterly, and only when the Martial Emperor is finally there, Xie Qingyun is found guilty, they will watch this bastard who killed Jiang Yu's commander be severely executed.
Except for veterans of the war camp. There is another person who also came to visit Xie Qingyun, that is, Lu Yizhong, the captain of the Twelve Flame Soldiers, he didn't mention half a sentence about this matter, after seeing Xie Qingyun, he just talked to him about the old days, talked about goodbye, as if Xu Nian them, said for about half an hour, said take care and left. As for the medical idiot. Zhang Tao specially asked to see him, and took the initiative to tell him about Xie Qingyun's return, and also said that he was waiting for Emperor Wu to decide, Gao Ming was as if he had heard that Jiang Yu was dead. didn't have too many opinions, and was still intoxicated with his medical Tao, which made Zhang Tao feel a lot more relieved. After all, in the entire Qiongming Valley, only this one's cultivation and combat power surpassed him. And he couldn't drive him away, after all, the medical idiot was the strongest person in the entire Martial Kingdom. No matter what the reason, if he is transferred away from the Fire Warrior Cavalry, anyone will question Zhang Tasheng.
In addition, the family members of Qiongming City did not know that Xie Qingyun had returned alive, although there were more than 2,000 fire warriors, no one would leak the matter. Xie Qingyun did not propose to meet his parents who were under house arrest, he did not plan to meet them until the matter was resolved, first, he was afraid of extraneous complications, and second, he was afraid that his parents would be more worried, he believed that Xu Nian and they would be able to take care of their parents, and he would not mention to his parents that he had come back alive. Five days passed, and the news of Emperor Wu finally came, with only a simple sentence, that is, he agreed to escort Xie Qingyun to the imperial court, argued with Zhang Tao in front of him, and set off immediately.
Zhang Tao didn't waste much time, and immediately ordered the three of Li Ying, Zhan Ying, and Lu Yizhong to accompany him to escort Xie Qingyun, and the entire Fire Martial Cavalry was temporarily handed over to Deputy Commander Shi Feng to handle all affairs. But what he didn't expect was that before leaving, Xie Qingyun suddenly made a request to invite Ding Nu and Ma Zhen to go along, there was only one reason, the two of them were the robes of the former two capitals and five teams in the war camp, they knew themselves best, and the fire warriors of the old fifth team were the only ones left, if Zhang Tao did not allow it, there was a problem.
This reason sounds reasonable, but Zhang Tao is a little worried, just because Ding Nu happens to be his only henchman in this fire horse, the only person who knows some things about him, and that Ma Zhen has been at odds with Ding Nu for the past year, although he has repeatedly reminded Ding Nu that major events must be low-key, and even scolded Ding Nu for this, but Ding Nu never knew how to restrain himself in front of Ma Zhen, in his words, he was not used to seeing Ma Zhen in the fifth team earlier, and now he finally has the opportunity to humiliate Ma Zhen in the name of drilling, and it is only for Ma Zhen alone, which will not cause any problemsγ
Zhang Tao said too much, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, he didn't want Xie Qingyun to suddenly put forward such a condition today, which made him doubtful, and I heard that Ma Zhen went to visit Xie Qingyun a few days ago, and he also specially told Ding Nu to keep an eye on Ma Zhen these days, fortunately, Ma Zhen didn't have any abnormal behavior that made him suspicious, but at this time, Zhang Tao had to be suspicious. However, suspicion is suspicion, but he can't have the slightest objection, he has to be upright and unscrupulous, so that it is possible to completely dismiss all Xie Qingyun's arguments in front of the Martial Emperor, and he just said coldly at the moment: "Everything depends on you, see what tricks you can play." β
Soon, the two battalion generals, Lu Yizhong, Zhang Ta, Xie Qingyun, and Ding Nu and Ma Zhen requested by Xie Qingyun boarded the flying boat, and without alarming too many people, they flew straight away from Qiongming Valley. The soldiers of the Fire Warriors naturally knew where they had gone, and although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, no one was talking about anything, and all the exercises were as usual. Ding Nu has been hiding his resentment in the camp for many years, and privately reporting everything to Zhang Ta, not only is he not a fool, but he is also extremely adaptable, for Ma Zhen in the past year and a half, it is only because he feels that he has no scruples anymore, that he has exposed the mentality of the fire warriors who have been trying to suppress the old fifth team for many years, and now there is only Ma Zhen left, he will be like this.
Recently, although this was Xie Qingyun's temporary request, he didn't need to be reminded by Zhang Tao, he noticed that something was wrong, so after getting on the flying boat with Ma Zhen, he didn't deliberately want to behave like a brother with Ma Zhen, as usual. Neither warm nor lukewarm to Ma Zhen. This will not make others suspicious, let alone because of his coy attitude. and caused Ma Zhen to directly accuse him in front of everyone. In the fire warrior cavalry, there are also many robes because of discord. can't say one thing, but when fighting and fighting with the outside world, he can still treat the other party as a robe of life and death, so no matter what Xie Qingyun and Ma Zhen, who suddenly came back alive, want to play, Ding Nu feels that as long as his relationship with Ma Zhen makes outsiders look like the kind of robe that can't get along, but can kill the enemy in the same battle, everything will be worry-free.
Zhang Tao was originally a little worried, but he saw Ding Nu's performance after getting on the flying boat. I was also a little relieved in my heart. In this way, a few days later, this flying boat carrying the elite of the fire and martial arts cavalry flew to Yangjing, the capital of the martial arts, and in a moment, it entered the imperial city, and after passing through several air checkpoints, it was allowed to fly directly to the boat domain in the palace. After getting off the flying boat, a group of people waited under the leadership of nine imperial guards and entered the inner courtyard of the palace.
I walked through several more courtyards. After passing through several secret passages, I finally came to a small valley in the imperial city, with a radius of five miles, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The springs are exquisite, there are no pavilions, everything is extremely natural. This time they entered, and everyone found that there were no guards here. But on several huge and flat rocks, there were the strongest people in the Wu Dynasty, outside of the Martial Emperor. It is Bian Rang, the commander of the Zhenxi Army, Chen Kai, the commander of the Zhendong Army, Qi Feng, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, and Xiong Ji, the commander of the Hidden Wolf Division.
Ding Nu, Ma Zhen and the others didn't know them, but they could feel that they were martial saints just from the momentum exuded by these people, and the martial saints who could sit and talk with the martial emperor could guess which people they were, and they all knelt down on one knee with Zhang Tao at the moment. That Zhang Ta, as the deputy commander of the Fire Martial Cavalry, except for Xiong Ji, the other three have seen it, and Xiong Ji's appearance is also very easy to recognize, so he immediately arched his hand towards the Martial Emperor and said: "Zhang Ta greets the Martial Emperor......" and then paused and said: "Meet all the adults." β
Before the Martial Emperor could speak, Bian Rang spoke first: "I don't have to meet you when I wait for you, although it is not officially appointed, but it is finally the position of the great commander of the Fire Warrior Cavalry, and the status and identity are not only not weak, but also slightly better than us, how can I come to meet him." Listening to what he said, Xie Qingyun was slightly happy in his heart, it seems that these great commanders also know the real name of the fire warrior cavalry, but they were not the soldiers of the fire cavalry at the beginning, and they were also shouting in front of them. At the moment, they are either fire warriors or the strongest in the martial arts dynasty, so there is no need to talk about it.
As for Zhang Ta, he knew that his cultivation was far inferior to the others, so he wanted to behave in a low-key manner, and he had to continue to regard himself as the deputy commander of the fire cavalry as before, so he deliberately looked embarrassed at the moment. Seeing him like this, Emperor Wu smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, everything is up to him." β
Zhang Ta seemed to be relieved, but he was thinking in his heart, Emperor Wu said this, it seems that he has no intention of officially serving as the commander for the time being, but this is not the time to explore this, first condemn Xie Qingyun's crime to death, and then arch his hand at the moment:" Zhang Ta is not the younger generation of all the adults, even if he temporarily assumes the responsibility of the commander of the fire and martial arts, he does not dare to sit on an equal footing with all the adults, whether he is practicing martial arts or being a man, his heart is comfortable, everything is straight, Zhang Ta is not arrogant, so it is better to call the adult. β
After hearing this, Xiong Ji laughed and said: "Your words are also sharp, in Xia Xiong Ji, we will meet often in the future." Zhang Tao also arched his hand and said: "I've seen the Great Commander Xiong Ji." As soon as his words fell, the Martial Emperor stopped talking and said directly: " These commanders had already gathered in the imperial city to discuss the major matter of defending the Beast King of Dongzhou, and the deployment of the frontiers was its top priority, and the other was how to expand the strongest army of the Martial Arts Cavalry after experiencing the last loss, and in addition to the selection from all over the country, it was also necessary to recruit from other armies, and all the commanders also agreed, after all, this time the Fire Cavalry fought the four major beast kings, which also made the commanders very impressed, plus the commander of the Fire Cavalry Jiang Yu is dead, and the Fire Cavalry now has no Martial Saint in charge, and it is also good to write more genius soldiers in the past. β
After saying this, Zhang Ta showed a look of joy on his face, and immediately thanked Emperor Wu first, and then thanked several others, and then Emperor Wu said: "General Zhang, don't talk on your knees, get up quickly." Zhang stepped on this time, and Emperor Wu pointed to a flat boulder and said, "General Zhang go and sit." Zhang Tao hurriedly shook his head, but listened and said: "Long-winded, let you sit and sit, what does this have to do with arrogance? Zhang Tao shook his head again and said: "Acting vigorously in the army is also resolute, and there is no contradiction between not being arrogant and decisive.
But this time, General Bian misunderstood. It is different from not sitting under the ground, this boulder is already at the bottom. He can afford to sit down, but he is here today. is to prove my innocence, before that, I should be like Xie Qingyun, I am a suspect, I should be like him, standing in the hall, defending myself, and waiting for the trial of Emperor Wu and all the adults. After saying this, Xiong Ji nodded and said, "Not bad." Old man, I think this guy is quite rigorous, and the same is true for my Hidden Wolf Division's trial. Bian Rang glanced at Xiong Ji and scolded: "Trouble, trouble, your old bear is really a trouble, forget it, let's start quickly." Emperor Wu shook his head and said, "I have to wait for someone to come." Before the words fell, three more guards led a strong man to the line. As soon as the man arrived, he shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late, and the interrogation hasn't started yet." β
As soon as he came. The rest of the people also looked at him, and Qi Feng smiled and said, "Why is the master of the Qu Sect here?" This strong man is the master of the Martial Arts Sect of the Martial Arts Sect, Qu Feng, and immediately answered: "I waited for Xie Qingyun at the beginning. It has cost a lot of Shenyuan and Spirit Pill, if this guy really kills Jiang Yu. I'm going to have to torture him before he's punished. to comfort my gods who have been sent out. Said so, but Qu Feng did not show a hatred for Xie Qingyun on his face, and of course he did not show a bias towards Xie Qingyun, which made Zhang Tao, who had been paying attention to all the martial saints, unable to bear in his heart.
Seeing that the style of the song had arrived, Emperor Wu said again: "Everyone has arrived, this time it is to discuss the major matters of the border defense of our Wu Kingdom, and the fire warrior cavalry is also one of them, and this trial of Xie Qingyun's case should be placed in it." At this point, he turned his eyes to Xiong Ji and said, "Commander Xiong, you are the Grand Commander of the Hidden Wolf Division, and you will be in charge of this case." That Xiong Ji gave up his hand, and then looked at the people present: "You all get up." After saying this, after Xie Qingyun and the others said yes, they all got up, still standing with their heads down, no one dared to raise their eyes to look, Xiong Ji said: "I will ask questions one by one, ask whom, whoever will raise their heads and look at me, understand?"
The fire warriors nodded yes again. Xiong Ji then began to ask: "The three battalion generals and the two soldiers respectively tell me what you know about Zhang Tao and Xie Qingyun. After saying this, Lu Yizhong was the first to speak, which made him say something about Zhang Ta's personality and Xie Qingyun's personality, he didn't favor anyone, only said that he knew about these two people, and he didn't want to interfere with Xiong Ji's judgment because of this.
After Lu Yizhong said, and then the battalion generals of the force battalion and the battalion told separately, what the three battalion generals said was basically not much different, for Zhang Ta, they have all intersected for many years, and they all said that Zhang Ta is refreshing, and he is also steady, and he does not like his authority, and he is very nostalgic for the war camp, whether he has already been promoted to the deputy commander of the fire cavalry or the temporary commander after this war, he still lives in the war camp. Speaking of Xie Qingyun, it was pointed out that he is not only talented, but also very diligent, but he is not the kind of kid who buries his head in silence, he is good at words, can quickly become friends with others, and has a strong ability to resist pressure.
Then Ding Nu and Ma Zhen, who had the most contact with Xie Qingyun, told that Zhang Tazi was still those words, and what Xie Qingyun Ding Nu said was no different from the camp general, Ma Zhen said a little more, Xie Qingyun can become a fire warrior, so he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't believe why he wants to cooperate with the Beast King to kill Jiang Yu. Xiong Ji nodded, which made Zhang Tao and Xie Qingyun talk to each other, Xie Qingyun was also straightforward, telling him his impression of Zhang Tao earlier, but he didn't expect Zhang Tao to lie and rely on him. Then he told him what happened to him a year and a half ago, when the fire martial arts rode the heavy water realm, when Jiang Yu's commander had sent someone to investigate it strictly, but in the event of a big war, the matter was put on hold, although he now has no evidence, but in view of Zhang Ta's false accusations against him for no reason, he has reason to suspect Zhang Ta.
Speaking of this, Lu Yizhong said: "This matter can be testified below, and the craftsman Shi Yun is also known, and someone did do something in the heavy water realm, but Shi Yun finally failed to find out who did it." At the beginning, Jiang Yu's commander did not disclose this matter to other fire soldiers in order to secretly investigate the spies. Speaking of this, all the martial saints frowned slightly, and the step was also abrupt, and Ding Nu was the same, and he didn't show any shock. Xiong Ji didn't see any clues on the faces of any fire warriors.
Having said this, Zhang Ta and Xie Qingyun also told him about his impression of Xie Qingyun, and said that he didn't believe that he was such a person until he saw Xie Qingyun kill Jiang Yu behind his back. After Zhang Tao finished speaking, Xiong Ji nodded slightly, and the rest of the martial saints were also average, and no one showed any look of leaning towards anyone. Subsequently, Xiong Ji, the commander of the Hidden Wolf Division, began the most critical questioning, and first asked Zhang Ta to tell in detail what he saw in the battle a year and a half ago. (To be continued......)
