Chapter 104 Restoration The killing of Cen Bu was unexpected and beyond everyone's imagination. After all, even a great master would find it difficult to sneak into Huazhou and enter an uninhabited land. The Grand Master sitting in Huazhou City had no idea that Cen Bu, a ninth-level master, was killed with a knife without even having a chance to resist. At the beginning, Xu Guo deduced that there might be two or three assassins, a swordsman and one or two archers. Because two guards were shot at the same time, either the archer shot two arrows at once, or there were two archers. Later, Xu Guo sent several mystic masters to the scene of the assassination. They used secret techniques to trace the identity of the assassin to no avail. However, the residual aura of the mystic arts was found on Cen Bu's body, so it was deduced that there should be a high-level mystic master at that time. . After this information was released, people all over the world speculated on the identity of the assassin. Grand masters are powerful, but they do not have the ability to penetrate the world. They are a minority and an outlier in this world. Therefore, they never take action easily, let alone interfere in state affairs. This is an unwritten rule among great masters. This time, someone actually ignored the rules and interfered in the war of ordinary people. Not only Emperor Xu was furious, but the great masters also wanted to get rid of these unruly guys. In the Age of Ending Law, spiritual energy is almost negligible. There are not many warriors who can reach the fifth level, and there are even fewer grand masters above the ninth level.
Swords have always been the mainstream. There are currently four swordsmen among the great masters, but there is only one practicing archery. His name is Lu Xi, who is from the Xu state. Emperor Xu was furious and immediately sent two great masters to interrogate him whether he had participated in the assassination and why, as a native of Xu, he wanted to treason. Although he said "ask", he seemed to have been identified as the murderer. Lu Xi was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. The key is that he usually likes to be alone and does not like to socialize with others. No one can prove his innocence. This incident caused an uproar in the world, and Lu Xi did not dare to resist, so he had to make a life-and-death decision and rushed to the vicinity of Huacheng to track down the murderer. General Xu Guo was killed, and his head was exposed under the eyes of the defenders. The morale of the soldiers was damaged. The Southwest Army took advantage of the fact that the defenders had not slowed down and captured Huacheng in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, before they had time to be happy, the Restoration Army of Xiao Chen State began to attack in the rear. This is the hometown of Xiao Chen State. Wherever the Restoration Army went, countless people responded. Some county magistrates directly opened the city and surrendered to welcome the Restoration Army. Some people gathered to steal the food and grass of the defenders... The Restoration Army was unstoppable. In less than two months, it took over eighteen counties and towns in four southwest states. Its number also grew to 100,000, and it was still growing rapidly. In comparison, the rebels in the northwest are really not enough to watch. It was only at this time that Xiao Hongfan's appointment finally came - temporarily serving as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Huanglong Army to resist the Restoration Army. There are only 60,000 people under his command. Xiao Hongfan knew very well that the difficulty was not that the number of people was 40,000 less than that of the Restoration Army, but that the Qu people were not popular in the hometown of Xiao Chen. It is known throughout the world that Emperor Qu was a militaristic and had the dream of unifying the world. When he was born in Qu State, most of them were destined to die in battle. Since death is inevitable no matter what, it is better to give it a try. If the country can be restored, the descendants will not have to go through this. The territory occupied by the Fuguo Army happened to split Qu State into two halves. After occupying the city, they began to fortify the walls and clear the country. They concentrated the people in several counties close to the Southwest Army and harvested all the rice and grain into the city. "As a result, the Southwest Army is trapped in the middle." Xiao Hongfan moved the flag on the sand table with a solemn expression. Shi Xuanying tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the table: "We only have 60,000 people, and we are not popular among the people here. Even if we conquer the city with great hardships, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defend it." This is a crucial question. Yan Chu glanced at Shi Xuanying and seemed to understand her intention, then he muttered: "In this case, it is better to take control of the state capital so that the people can recuperate and develop people's livelihood."
Xiao Hongfan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Yan Chen: "Then aren't we..." rebel? ! Interfering in local government affairs beyond the imperial court is a complete rebellion! Yan Chu asked: "We are besieged. If we can't put down the rebellion quickly, can't contact the court, and our foundation is unstable, how long can we hold on? Restoring the country is what the people want in the hometown of Xiao Chen." The only reason to blame is that Emperor Qu had such a bad reputation. In fact, most people at the bottom don't care who is sitting on the dragon throne. They just want to live in peace and have enough to eat. However, everything is most afraid of comparison. The country of Xiao Chen is rich and has a benevolent monarch. The people have heard a lot about how miserable the people of Qu are, and they always have a sense of superiority in their hearts. Now that the country has fallen into the hands of the Qu people, the people of Qu's today is their tomorrow, and the good days are coming to an end. , the people are already afraid, but now that they have hope, they will definitely try their best to seize it. Even if Xiao Hongfan is a general, he cannot control the people's hearts. "General, there is no need to rush to make a decision." Bai Shuangxing also saw Shi Xuanying's ambition, and naturally he would not let her get her wish. "It is better to wait and see." Regarding Bai Shuangxing's trouble, Shi Xuanying has no worries. At the fork in the road, Chen Jie's consciousness will push Xiao Hongfan to the established track. There are countless old friends in the Northwest Army, all of whom are fetters. Xiao Hongfan also disapproved of Emperor Qu in her heart, but this dissatisfaction was not enough to prompt her to rebel: "That's fine." After that, Xiao Hongfan prepared to lead his army to attack the Restoration Army. The turning point came faster than Shi Xuanying expected. Three days later, they suddenly received news that the Southwest Army was defeated and retreated to Liuzhou. The general was hit by an arrow during the attack and died on the spot.
