Chapter 141: The Empress's Conspiracy, Li Changqing Volunteers
"Someone is coming."
After some thought, King Wu took a deep breath.
He immediately gave the order: "Send a message to Zheng Lu to prepare the army immediately."
He is very clear.
This time, he had to send troops even if he didn't want to.
Not only does she have to send troops, but she also has to lead the way. After the expedition begins, she has to be the first to rush forward and use all her strength to help the empress wipe out the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.
Only in this way can he have a way to survive.
"My eldest niece is not a simple person either." King Wu smiled bitterly. Even though he was unwilling, he had to admire her.
The Empress' move was truly brilliant.
Not only can he use me as the main force to destroy the White Lotus Sect, but he can also use it to intimidate me so that I will never have any other thoughts again.
The King of Wu thought for a long time.
He didn't think that his conspiracy with the White Lotus had been known to the man in the north.
Know about this.
It should be only the empress.
Otherwise, with that person's skills, there would be no way for me to survive.
It was for this reason that the empress resorted to this conspiracy.
While preventing him from acting rashly, he must also do his utmost to help him destroy the White Lotus Sect.
Moreover, the King of Wu was very suspicious.
Maybe the empress knew that not long ago, she had conspired with the White Lotus Sect to send a number of assassins to test and assassinate the one in the north.
If you know this,
"Damn it."
The King of Wu cursed inwardly and his expression became increasingly ugly.
I dare not continue thinking about it.
Following the order from the King of Wu.
The 100,000 elite troops in Xingqing Prefecture were ready in an instant and waited for orders in the barracks.
Once the order is delivered.
This elite force can be deployed to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.
The noise made by a large army's preparations cannot be small.
This news spread throughout Xingqing Prefecture within just one day. Under the instigation of the White Lotus Sect, a large number of refugees had formed, but they immediately stopped their movements.
He disappeared without a trace and dared not show up at all.
Simultaneously.
The White Lotus Sect in Yangwu Town also received news that King Wu was preparing his army.
Yangwu Town is just a small town.
But the area it covers is not small, the houses in the town are compact and the alleys are interconnected.
It's like a maze.
If someone who is not familiar with the terrain breaks in, they will not be trapped to death, but they will lose their way and cannot find the exit in the alleys that extend in all directions.
Town center.
A big house, with a plaque on it.
The two words "Bai Fu" were written in a vigorous and powerful style, with implicit artistic conception and the style of an expert.
Fuzhong.
The inner courtyard was crowded with people.
At first glance, there were about a hundred people gathered, filling the empty courtyard.
Moreover, each of these people is skilled in martial arts.
Even many of them.
He has vigorous blood and strong internal energy, and a good aura. It is obvious that he is not a weakling.
The inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion at this time.
Although there were more than a hundred people, there was no noise at all, instead it was very quiet.
All eyes.
They all looked forward.
In front, the hunched-over Old Bai was sitting on a wooden chair, holding a cane carved from sandalwood in his hand, and looking at everyone in the yard with a frown.
There are several wooden chairs beside him.
But no one sat on the wooden chair. Ah Da, who was burly and full of flesh, stood behind Bai Lao like an iron tower, with fierce eyes, alertly paying attention to the movements around him.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Bai Lao tapped the ground with his cane: "Sit down."
'Shuh! '
As Bai Lao's voice fell.
More than a hundred people in the courtyard sat down together without making any sound.
See this scene.
Mr. Bai nodded with satisfaction.
He said slowly: "I called you here today because something might have happened in Xingqing Mansion."
This statement came out.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other intently, knowing what the incident that Old Bai was talking about was.
It was nothing more than the King of Wu suddenly reorganizing his army.
But they were not informed of this.
As expected, under the gaze of everyone, Bai Lao's old voice continued to be heard: "I think you all already know about the King of Wu's military reorganization."
'Tread'
As Bai Lao spoke, he tapped the ground lightly with his cane. "My Holy Church has cooperated with King Wu for many years and has a close relationship. However, today, King Wu suddenly assembled an army of 100,000 elite soldiers, ready to go."
“I waited, but only until now.”
“No news has been received.”
Old Bai frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his cloudy eyes.
He continued, "Early this morning, I received an intriguing piece of news. Zhao Wanrou, the fifth elder of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, went to the Wu Wang Mansion with an imperial edict. Not long after that, the Wu Wang ordered the army to prepare."
"what?"
When everyone heard this, their pupils shrank.
He exclaimed, "An imperial decree?"
If it was just an imperial edict, they would not be so surprised.
But the problem now is that after receiving the imperial edict, the King of Wu did not immediately prepare his army, nor did he inform their Holy Church of what he was going to do.
This point has to make people suspicious.
"Master Bai, what you mean is that the King of Wu will work together with the Empress to attack our Holy Church?" In the midst of everyone's doubts, Li Changqing, who was sitting in the front row, changed his expression and said uncertainly: "Master Bai, this is unlikely, right?"
The person who spoke was Li Changqing.
Bai Lao narrowed his eyes: "Why is it impossible?"
Li Changqing was the person he had personally visited some time ago to recruit into the sect.
Although his background was not clean, Mr. Bai was not very wary of him. After all, before he betrayed the Jinyiwei, he killed many of his colleagues in the Jinyiwei.
Even the Right Censor-in-Chief Wei Nan.
He also died at his hands, so it was impossible that he was a hidden pawn of the Empress or the King of Wu.
Below that.
Old Bai also saw that he was extremely talented. At such a young age, he had already reached the peak of the Profound Realm.
He also paid special attention to him.
On the day he joined the church, he generously gave Li Changqing the position of Grand Deacon, intending to cultivate him personally.
"Old Bai, isn't the King of Wu planning to rebel?" Li Changqing pretended to be silent and organized his words before saying, "Since they are planning to rebel, shouldn't the King of Wu and the Empress be mortal enemies?"
"No matter what the King of Wu says, he will never join the Empress in attacking our Holy Church. Besides, if the King of Wu wants to rebel, he needs the help of our Holy Church. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to accomplish anything with the power in his hands. No matter what, the King of Wu will not turn against our Holy Church. It will not benefit him at all."
Li Changqing said this and frowned again.
He continued, "So, I think the King of Wu's military reorganization this time may not be aimed at our Holy Church, but may have other purposes."
Li Changqing's words.
Many people in the courtyard nodded in agreement.
He agreed, "Mr. Bai, I also think that the King of Wu must have other purposes in mobilizing his troops. However, the 100,000 elite troops in Xingqing Prefecture are ready to go, so we have to be on guard. Why don't we send someone to ask them?"
As these words fell.
Li Changqing's eyes lit up.
He immediately stood up and volunteered: "Mr. Bai, I am willing to go to the Prince of Wu's mansion to find out what is going on."
Two updates today!
