When the news reached Jin, the Jin Emperor Tai-shu Xiong was so angry that he smashed a bunch of things.
For Tai-shu Xiong, his emotions were even more complicated than the others. No matter what Chen Zhanggong did, he had already given his daughter to him. His daughter had only just given herself to Chen Zhanggong, yet Yin Chu had already killed Chen Zhanggong. How was he going to face his daughter in the future?
He had many daughters, and how would his other children look at him? Would they be disappointed?
However, Yin Chu was Yin Chu. This was in line with his character and style. Years ago, Tai-shu Xiong made Yin Chu the military advisor of Shao Pingbo. However, Yin Chu did not like Shao Pingbo and disobeyed Tai-shu Xiong's order. He used the snow as an excuse and ran away. He did not follow the order at all.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Yin Chu would do such a thing.
According to the news from the Black Water Platform at Xi Ping Pass, Yin Chu's actions could be understood to a certain extent. The attack power of the Qin army was beyond Jin's expectation. If it was not for Yin Chu's good command, Xi Ping Pass would have been broken through by the Qin army.
The attack power of the Qin army gave Yin Chu great pressure. Once Xi Ping Pass was lost, Yin Chu would become a sinner of Jin.
However, Chen Changgong kept nagging him to leave. There were tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers at Xi Ping Pass. Chen Changgong's attitude could easily shake the morale of the army. The war was difficult, and it was time for everyone to work together. How could Yin Chu let the morale of the army be shaken? Once the morale was shaken, they would definitely lose!
There was a type of people in this world that could not afford to lose. They were the generals!
Once they lost, the army would be annihilated, and the country would be destroyed!
Based on Yin Chu's character, it would not be strange for Yin Chu to kill Chen Zhanggong in a frenzy of killing.
What could Tai-shu Xiong do? He could not do anything to Yin Chu. Yin Chu had led his soldiers deep into the enemy's rear and was defending alone. How could he reprimand Yin Chu for doing something wrong?
Deep in the enemy's rear, it would be difficult to escape. Once they were defeated, Yin Chu might lose his life, and Tai-shu Xiong would not be able to settle the score.
On the other hand, if Yin Chu managed to defend Western Screen Pass, he would have rendered a great service, and it would be difficult for Taishu Xiong to settle any scores with him.
Shao Pingbo's method was the last resort. After losing his temper, Tai-shu Xiong could only do as Shao Pingbo said. He tried his best to hide the news of Chen Zhanggong's death and treated Chen Zhanggong's family members well for others to see.
Originally, he had already discussed it with Chen Zhanggong. It was impossible for the Princess to be a concubine or a concubine. Chen Zhanggong wanted to break up with his wife. Now that it was impossible, Chen Zhanggong had taken advantage of the Princess, and Tai-shu Xiong had to give preferential treatment to Chen Zhanggong's wife.
No matter how ambitious Tai-shu Xiong was, he was still a father. Under the shell of an emperor, he still had the heart of a father. He had already let down his daughter, and he did not want anything to happen to his daughter. Xi Ping Pass was a place of life and death, and he wanted to move his daughter away from this dangerous place.
In addition, his daughter's mother was crying in front of him, so he arranged for his daughter to be brought back.
However, Yin Chu disobeyed the imperial order. In a word, he did not obey the emperor's order when he was outside!
Not only did Yin Chu not allow Tai-shu Huan 'er to return to Jin Kingdom, he also forced Tai-shu Huan' er to put on a forced smile. He often showed his face in front of the soldiers to show that he was with them, and used Tai-shu Huan 'er to boost the morale of the soldiers!
Tai-shu Huan 'er did not cooperate, so Yin Chu pulled out his sword and threatened him. If he did not obey, he would kill him!
Tai-shu Huan 'er was terrified. Chen Zhanggong's death was still vivid in his mind, and he did not dare to disobey. Since then, he accompanied the soldiers of Jin to defend Xi Ping Pass!
When Tai-shu Xiong knew about it, he was furious, but he could not do anything to Yin Chu. After the bloody battle, even the cultivators of the Cloud Weapon Sect who followed the army to defend Xi Ping Pass stood on Yin Chu's side.
The cultivators of the Cloud Weapon Sect first saw the situation, and they indeed needed to unite the army. Although Yin Chu had gone overboard, he was not necessarily wrong.
Secondly, Yin Chu was really in a killing frenzy. At this time, who would dare to disobey the imperial order, let alone the Princess? Yin Chu even dared to kill the cultivators of the Cloud Weapon Sect, so who would dare to go against Yin Chu or overturn him? If they really did that, the army's morale would be in chaos, and there would be no need to defend Xi Ping Pass.
When the news reached the Sect Master of the Cloud Weapon Sect, Tai-shu Feihua, he maintained his silence and did not dare to forcefully ask for Yin Chu's people. If he forced Yin Chu into a corner, even Tai-shu Feihua would not be able to bear it.
Yin Chu's attitude was very firm. As long as he could defend Xi Ping Pass, he would not fear death at all costs!
He dared to kill the Princess's fiancé, pull out his sword to threaten the Princess, and even defy the imperial order. He was already throwing caution to the wind and was not afraid of death. Who could do anything to him?
When Shao Pingbo learned of this, he was moved and sighed. "This is a warrior! No wonder His Majesty ordered him to defend Xi Ping Pass from the start. With this person holding the fort, Xi Ping Pass is already half defended! His Majesty still understands this person, and His Majesty still knows how to use people. "
He gradually understood Yin Chu's feelings. From the overall situation, he and Tai-shu Xiong felt that they should not have killed Chen Changgong, but to Yin Chu, who was in a difficult situation, the overall situation was bullshit. Defending Xi Ping Pass was the most important thing. Yin Chu would not be polite to anyone who dared to shake the defense of Xi Ping Pass!
Tai-shu Xiong was only angry for a moment. After he calmed down, he immediately threw the matter of love to the back of his mind. The Qin army's attack had caused the cultivators of Xi Ping Pass to suffer heavy losses. If there were not enough cultivators, Xi Ping Pass would not be able to defend for long, so he urgently coordinated with Jin's cultivators to replenish them.
Faced with the alliance of Qi, Wei, and Qin, as well as the secret help from other countries, Jin's cultivators were very tense. In the end, even the Heaven and Earth Sect was used. Linghu Qiu had no choice but to lead the Heaven and Earth Sect's cultivators into the battlefield to defend the country.
In the dilapidated farmhouse, Shao Pingbo stared at the map and sighed. "We should go."
Shao Sansheng asked, "Where does Eldest Young Master want to go?"
Shao Pingbo answered, "Xi Ping Pass, the offensive and defensive battles. The frontline battles all rely on the lives of the soldiers, so there's no use for us to stay here. With the current situation of the guards, they are no match for our Jin. The battle in Xi Ping Pass is about to be fully launched … "He raised his finger to the marching position mark on the map and pointed at Huyan Wuhen's army." The real threat is Huyan Wuhen. If we can find a chance to get rid of Huyan Wuhen … Instead of wasting our time here, it's better to follow the main battlefield and see if we can find a chance to strike. "
Shao Sansheng nodded. "This old servant will go and ask the people at the Black Water Platform to make the arrangements."
Shao Pingbo turned around. "Wait. Has there been no reply from the shopkeeper? "
Shao Sansheng stopped and replied, "This old servant has sent several messages, but there has been no reply."
Shao Pingbo turned around. "Not even a reply?"
Shao Sansheng shook his head. "No."
"I'm in a hurry to see him. He should know that there's something important, but he didn't even reply …" Shao Pingbo muttered. "Could it be that something happened at the Misty Pavilion?"
…
In the mountains, in the canyon. Sha Rulai, who was covered in a black cloak, appeared at the same place where he used to meet Niu Youdao. But this time, it was daytime.
Since he was in a hurry to meet, he didn't pay much attention to the time.
As soon as he appeared, a person appeared from a depression in the mountain wall nearby. Sha Rulai suddenly turned around and saw a person dressed in the Misty Pavilion walking towards him. He didn't know him.
The person laughed in a familiar voice. "Don't be nervous. It's me." As he approached, he lifted his hand and tore off the mask on his face. It was Niu Youdao.
Sha Rulai heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still a little doubtful. When the person arrived in front of him, he circled around him a few times and looked him up and down from time to time.
"What?" Niu Youdao felt strange. "You don't know me anymore?"
Sha Rulai stopped in front of him. "I've seen two people. How do I know if you're real or fake?"
Niu Youdao sneered. "Why? Do you think I'm really dead?"
Sha Rulai said, "Prove that you're you first."
Niu Youdao couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Mister Sha, stop fooling around. This joke isn't funny. Besides me, who else would know your secret contact information? I can't possibly tell this secret to a fake person, can I?"
Sha Rulai was instantly angered. "You also know that this joke isn't funny? Niu Youdao, what the hell are you doing? Do you know that you can't show your face anymore after doing this? Shouldn't you have discussed with me before making this decision? "
Niu Youdao sighed. "I was afraid that you wouldn't agree. That's why I didn't discuss it with you."
Sha Rulai said, "If you continue to play like this, always thinking of controlling the situation, you'll put me in danger at any time. We can't cooperate anymore."
Niu Youdao said, "I have no choice! If you want to blame someone, blame your wife. Once I entered the Saint State, she started to target me. She's already caused me to be watched by all parties. I can't keep a low profile even if I wanted to. Mister Sha, ever since I entered the Saint State for the second time, I've decided that I must die once! All the forces have their eyes on me, and I'm well aware of my situation. I'm already under the attention of the Nine Sages. How long do you think I can stay under their watch? "
"Mister Sha, under their attention, my situation is very dangerous. I might be exposed at any time, and it'll be hard for me to do anything. If I want to get out of this situation, the only way, and also the best way, is for me to die! Only by dying can I get rid of all these dangers. Otherwise, I won't be able to get away! It's also for your own good. If I die, I'll put an end to the suspicions of others! "
This wasn't a lie. From the second time he entered the Holy Land, he had made an important decision, and the so-called important decision was to die!
Sha Rulai was silent for a moment. "Your death has already alarmed the Nine Sages. They're personally investigating the cause of your death. You asked me to help you keep an eye on Xuan Yao's movements. Could it be that the one who attacked you was Xuan Yao? "
Niu Youdao laughed. "Besides him, who else could it be?"
Sha Rulai: "If you want to die, then die. What's the meaning of going to Immeasurable Garden to cause trouble?"
Now, the Nine Great Holy Lands had grasped the situation. Before Niu Youdao died, he had mobilized a large force to investigate Immeasurable Garden. This was no longer a secret to the higher-ups of the Nine Great Holy Lands. As for the fact that Niu Youdao went to investigate the traitor, the Nine Sages had jointly blocked the news. Currently, even he didn't know about it.
Niu Youdao: "Since I'm going to die, why not leave some trouble for them and let the Nine Sages fight amongst themselves?"
Sha Rulai: "Inspecting Immeasurable Garden will let them fight amongst themselves?"
"After I set up the trap, I led the spearhead to Ding Wei …" Niu Youdao roughly explained the situation, hiding the matter of stealing the Immeasurable Fruit. He didn't intend to let Sha Rulai know about this matter for the time being.
"…" Sha Rulai was speechless for a moment. Then, he frowned. "In other words, the Nine Sages will definitely suspect Ding Wei, but they handed over the investigation of your death to Ding Wei …" Slowly, he shook his head. "The Nine Sages are sinister. Ding Wei is in big trouble this time!"
