"Xiliang has retreated? How is that possible! "Lu Yuanqing's eyelids twitched even more. He said unwillingly," Could they be pretending to retreat? "
The soldier looked at him with a worshipful gaze and said agitatedly, "Definitely not. Within ten miles, the Xiliang army could not be seen. The scouts who rushed back saw them. And the enemy general, Qin Guanyue, shouted something before he left. "
"What?" Lu Yuanqing asked immediately.
The soldier said, "I only heard him shout: We've been tricked by Lu Yuanqing, there's an ambush, retreat!"
Finishing, he became even more agitated. "It must be that the general is invincible and predicted that the Xiliang army would attack, so he made arrangements!"
Lu Yuanqing waved his hand expressionlessly, indicating for him to leave.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, Lianhai Changjin could not help but ask, "What arrangements did you make?"
He was not asking about Lu Yuanqing. The one who predicted the enemy was Ma Guanshan.
Ma Guanshan said lightly, "I only sent a few hundred riders out to patrol. They were on their way back at this time."
Lianhai Changjin's eyes brightened. "Because of the fog, they did not know that the Xiliang army was attacking the city and charged in. Qin Guanyue thought it was an ambush and had to order a retreat."
Ma Guanshan said, "Qin Guanyue is a cautious person. I predicted that he would not take the risk."
Lianhai Changjin smiled. "More importantly, he clearly did not trust a certain person. He had already anticipated being betrayed."
Ma Guanshan said, "A person who betrays his master for glory is not human. It is not easy to gain trust."
The two of them spoke one after another. Lu Yuanqing was so angry that his face was pale like a dead man's.
At this moment, his eyes were like a dead man's as he stared at Ma Guanshan. Suddenly, he laughed. "Yes, I was the one who exposed the positions of the sentries to the Grand Council."
"So you admit that you betrayed your master for glory?" Ma Guanshan said.
Lu Yuanqing's expression suddenly changed. He said harshly, "The one who betrayed his master for glory is you!"
Lianhai Changjin could not help but say, "Are you trying to invert right and wrong? Don't forget that I can testify for him. "
Lu Yuanqing's gaze was as cold as ice as he said coldly, "The dead can't testify."
"You're wrong," Ma Guanshan said leisurely.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanqing laughed.
Ma Guanshan said with a deadpan expression, "Don't you know that when the world's famous detectives investigate cases, many clues are obtained from dead people? So after you die, there will definitely be evidence to prove my innocence. "
Lu Yuanqing was so angry that he laughed. "Let's not talk about who died first. Tell me, how do you prove it?"
Ma Guanshan said, "The coroner's autopsy result is only one."
"One what?" Lu Yuanqing asked.
"You were born with the wrong bones." Ma Guanshan smiled contemptuously. Wouldn't people who valued loyalty and righteousness look down on traitors the most?
"What a Ma Guanshan!" Lu Yuanqing suddenly stood up. "You colluded with the Grand Council in an attempt to rebel. This general is perceptive and has seen through your scheme. I have long since set up a clever plan to defeat the Xiliang Army. Why don't you quickly surrender? Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"
The last four words were powerful and resonant. They were full of killing intent, and they also threw out a signal.
A signal to kill.
The old man behind him, who had one foot in the coffin, suddenly leaped out the moment he finished speaking. His short stature made him look like a mutated rat. His withered old hands had grown sharp claws at some point in time. The claws glowed with a dark blue luster, and it was obvious that they had been smeared with poison.
The claws arrived in front of Ma Guanshan's door in an instant. With a light swipe, he would be destroyed in body and soul.
Ma Guanshan didn't move. He didn't even blink. Yan Wushuang, who was standing behind him, didn't even bat an eyelid. Her entire body was motionless like a statue.
The one who moved was Lianhai Changjin. Someone wanted to harm his friend. How could he tolerate this? Therefore, his expression became extremely cold. For a person who cared about his emotions, when such an expression appeared, it meant that he was truly angry.
Perhaps no one had ever seen him angry.
Just as his expression turned cold, he began to move. However, it was not a very violent movement. He simply unfolded his folding fan in a manner that could charm tens of thousands of girls. With a whoosh, the two claws of the old man were severed at the base.
He let out an owl-like scream, but his body didn't retreat at all. He looked like he wanted to bite Ma Guanshan to death even if he had to.
But his teeth had fallen off very badly. There were only three to five of them hanging on his mouth. Not to mention biting a person to death, he couldn't even bite his own kind to death.
He had never thought of biting Ma Guanshan to death. He just wanted to poison Ma Guanshan to death.
His body carried a strong poison. He had taken the poison long before he made his move. It could be said that even if he didn't make a move, he would definitely die. If a person wanted to kill another person at the cost of his life, there could only be two possibilities. The first was an irreconcilable hatred. Obviously, Ma Guanshan hadn't done anything to anger the heavens and the people he killed were mostly Desolate Men. He wouldn't have provoked such a ruthless person. The second was a loyal servant. For an old man like him to die together with a young general with a bright future, it could be said that it was a great gain.
Looking at the current situation, the second possibility was more likely.
At this moment, the poison in his body was about to spurt out from the wound on his broken wrist.
But at this moment, Ma Guanshan moved.
Perhaps some people here had already forgotten that Ma Guanshan was also a student of the Academy. He was a martial artist, and his cultivation was already considered very strong among the cultivators in the Divine Prefecture.
His movement was more concise and effective. Before the poisonous blood spurted out, he grabbed a chair and threw it at the old man.
With his arm strength and the old man's thin and weak body, of course, he was smashed and sent flying towards the generals opposite him.
The generals seemed to have already known about the poisonous blood. Their expressions changed and they dodged to the side.
One of them had a strange smile on his face. Suddenly, he moved nimbly and slid under the old man's feet. He stabbed at Ma Guanshan with a long sword in his hand.
Ma Guanshan knew that these people were in cahoots with Lu Yuanqing, but he didn't expect them to be so crazy. Even at this moment, they didn't want to repent and still wanted to kill him.
Moreover, this person's sword was famous for killing people in the army. Coupled with his rich experience in battle, this stab came without warning. It was like a flowing light in the sky, and also like a silver lightning.
But the silver lightning finally stopped. In a moment of desperation, Ma Guanshan put his palms together and blocked the blade with his bare hands.
But the real killer move was not the silver lightning, but Lu Yuanqing.
Perhaps they had also forgotten that Lu Yuanqing was also from the Academy. He was in the same year as Shen Liuyun and Chen Ping. If he could be compared to those two, how could his strength be weak?
In fact, he was very strong, very strong. He had fought with Chen Ping several times and always ended in a draw.
As soon as he made his move, Lianhai Changjin's expression changed, because he knew that he couldn't stop it in time. But he immediately calmed down, because he knew that there was still one person who hadn't made his move.
Everyone, including Lu Yuanqing, knew that Yan Wushuang was known to be unparalleled in the world. What was unparalleled was not his name, but his sword, his fast sword.
His sword was so fast that it was said that no one had ever seen the blade of the Suicide Sword. Even those who had died under his sword couldn't tell what it looked like when they were resurrected.
Lu Yuanqing was confident that after he killed Ma Guanshan, Yan Wushuang would come to his side, because no bandit would refuse the temptation.
But the premise was that he had to kill Ma Guanshan first. He had already used all of his mental strength to guard against Yan Wushuang, but when he heard an extremely sharp and light sword hum, his heart was suddenly shrouded in darkness and despair.
He knew that he was going to die sooner than anyone else killed by Yan Wushuang. Maybe it was an honor.
