Main Text Chapter 589: One Thousand Heads

Still trying to avoid official roads and shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests to hide the whereabouts of most of the troops.

Zhao Fei led his more than 10,000 troops in front. Before the official departure, he sent more than a hundred spies to explore the road to prevent being ambushed. The rectification of Zhenyi Palace over the years was effective.

Miao Yi led his troops to stay with Tao Qingli in the middle. If one of the three Miao Yis was not left by Tao Qingli's side, Tao Qingli would have no confidence at all. If he wanted to stay, it would be better to keep Miao Yi by his side.

Sikong Wuwei naturally led the troops behind.

After traveling for several days and nights under the stars, the troops from the Three Palaces finally arrived at the designated location, only a hundred miles away from the border of the Sun Palace.

At this time, people from the Three Halls have gathered here. With Tao Qingli personally leading the team, nearly 80,000 people have gathered. There are still people from the Four Halls who have not yet arrived due to travel reasons.

Except for the heads of the various palaces, the people below these 80,000 people had no idea what they were doing here. The masters of each palace did not tell them. The people below only knew that they were preparing for the Sun Palace to attack the Water Palace. They were all on tenterhooks and lurking quietly in the mountains and forests. in whispers.

Some people even prayed for God's blessing, hoping that it was just a false alarm and that the Sun Palace would not attack.

Shang Liuhuan and Zhuang Youwen, who were watching with cold eyes, took in the surrounding discussions and were somewhat speechless. The people under the Water Palace did not know that they wanted to attack the Sun Palace?

The two people immediately realized that the matter was not what Miao Yi said during the negotiation. The people under Shui Xing Palace did not have the courage to fight against the odds. Mu De and Mu Xing Palace were deceived.

Another tree as dense as an umbrella. There are four tree crowns, which block the plants under your feet from the sunlight, so it looks relatively clean with no weeds visible. This became the Chinese military tent guarded by Tao Qingli.

The two men from Mu Xing Palace walked quickly back to Tao Qingli. Shang Liuhuan asked: "Palace Master Tao, the people below Shui Xing Palace don't even know that they want to attack Sun Palace. What are you doing?"

Before Tao Qing could leave, Miao Yi took the initiative to answer: "It doesn't matter whether the people below know it or not. What's important is that this battle is inevitable. They can't help but fight hard on the battlefield! What's more important is that on our side. We will faithfully fulfill our promise and will not let you down. You two will wait and see. If we cannot abide by the agreement, Mu Xinggong can stand still and you will not lose anything. "

Tao Qingli nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.

Shang Liuhuan and Zhuang Youwen looked at each other. Now that people have said so. They can only wait and see, at least they have not broken their promise yet.

Wearing a third-grade battle armor, Zhao Fei stood beside Tao Qingli without saying a word, holding the Fangtian Painted Halberd.

Sikong Wuwei was in charge of the outside. He personally arranged for his men to spread out and patrol around where tens of thousands of troops were lurking, to prevent anyone from escaping and shaking the morale of the army, and to prevent enemies from approaching.

As the troops from the four subsequent palaces arrived one after another, the 130,000 troops from the Water Palace had already arrived. The palace masters from all walks of life walked with their men and gathered around the palace master Tao Qingli.

Miao Yi once again laid out a specific attack plan on the map, and asked each hall master to confirm that everyone had memorized it. Tao Qingli stood up and said loudly: "This battle is related to the life and death of our Water Palace. It is also related to your future, so we can only win and not lose! This palace now officially declares the laws and regulations of the battlefield. Anyone who disobeys orders and disrespects them will be killed! Anyone who shakes the morale of the army , behead! Those who escape without permission, beheaded! Behead those who are afraid to fight! "

As soon as the words of "Five Kills" came out, all the hall masters and walking officials looked at each other, and there were many of them who were preparing for war and escaped unfavorably!

Tao Qingli shouted: "Have you heard all the decrees of this palace clearly?"

Regardless of whether they heard it or not, everyone raised their hands and replied: "I will obey the palace master's decree!"

Tao Qingli said in a deep voice: "After you go down, immediately convey this palace's decree of 'Five Cuts' to everyone under your command. Tell them that this palace's decree is forbidden, and anyone who resists the decree will be killed without mercy! After returning from this battle, It’s time to officially reveal it to the people below!”

"Yes!" Everyone responded, but no one knew what they were thinking.

At this time, there is no need to take into account what they are thinking, they can only be tough. Tao Qingli turned around, his eyes fell on Sikong Wuwei, "Sikong Wuwei!"

"The humble position is here!" Sikong Wuwei clasped his fists.

Tao Qingli said expressionlessly: "I order you to lead my troops to supervise the law enforcement in the rear and carry out my decree of 'Five Cuts'. You will have more than 10,000 troops in the second palace to be watched by me. Anyone who disobeys me" Those who are punished by the "Five Cuts" will be killed without mercy!"

"I humbly accept my order!" Sikong Wuwei responded loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the heads of each palace were frightened. There were only more than 130,000 troops in total, but one palace with more than 10,000 troops was designated as law enforcement and supervision. This was obviously going to cut off everyone's retreat!

When the old palace master Tao went to the funeral, Sikong Wuwei threw the head of Hou Feng, the master of the front hall of Zhenjia Palace, in front of everyone. Everyone still remembers it. Such a warrior was not sent to fight forward, but was specially used as a striker. Killing one's own people, this...

There is no other way to send one of the two most powerful men in the Zhenjia Palace to do this. We finally deceived these people into going to the battlefield. Who knows if these people who promised to be good will actually try their best? It is to put a knife on their necks to intimidate them, making them understand that if you don't fight desperately to kill the enemy, you have to fight hard to escape. Killing the enemy according to orders is only a threat from one side, and disobeying orders means attacking from both front and rear!

Shang Liuhuan and Zhuang Youwen, who were standing aside, looked at each other. They probably understood that they were determined to force this fight!

"Miao Yi!" Tao Qingli shouted again.

Miao Yi cupped his hands and said, "I have a humble position!"

Tao Qingli said: "I order you to be the ground forward of the army!"

"I humbly accept my order!" Miao Yi agreed. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't fly in the sky. Tao Qingli's so-called decree was negotiated by several people.

Zhao Fei was left by Tao Qingli's side to follow the army's command and dispatch.

"You all go back immediately to convey the decree of this palace. An hour later, the army will launch an attack on the Sun Palace Zhenren Hall on time. Anyone who delays and disobeys the order will be killed!"

Following Tao Qingli's last order, everyone dispersed. It's just that the faces of the palace masters who returned were a bit ugly, and the palace master didn't give them any way out...

The palace masters went back and summoned the palace masters below to announce the intention of the trip and the decree of the palace master. There was an explosion of more than 100,000 people, scolding the mother, saying not to do it, in short, saying anything.

Tao Qingli, who was standing under the Zhongjun tree, could hear shouts and curses coming from all directions, and his face looked very ugly. He couldn't help but look back at Miao Yi.

Miao Yi said calmly: "It will calm down!"

Even Shang Liuhuan and Zhuang Youwen on the side were amused when they heard this. Can such a man go out to fight? Mu Xinggong was really deceived this time, and he actually believed these people's lies. If he had known that Shui Xinggong was so cowardly, Mu Xinggong probably wouldn't even consider forming an alliance.

Not far away, Sikong Wuwei, who was wearing a third-grade battle armor and sitting on a dragon colt, grinned with a big mouth and a fierce look in his eyes. He turned around and said to his followers: "Assign manpower to those seven families and tell the brothers, Let’s see who jumps the hardest. I want a thousand heads to scare the monkeys, no matter who they are, call me if you can’t win!”

"Yes!" All the close relatives on the side accepted the order.

In an instant, there was a rumble of hoofbeats, and more than 10,000 horses scattered in all directions.

"Palace Master, what do you mean by this? This is deception! We..."

Someone at the Zhengui Hall shouted loudly to the surroundings, but their words were quickly drowned out by the sound of rushing hooves, and the ten riders were seen rushing through the crowd like wolves and tigers.

Before the man could realize what was going on, he was already launched into the air by a gunshot. The screams were still in the air. Another rider was seen rising into the air. A knife fell in his hand, and a human head flew up, spraying blood rain.

The people below were shocked. A certain palace master quickly stepped forward, pointed at the perpetrator and shouted: "Who dares to commit suicide without permission!"

The man with the sword on the ground came back to his horse, brandished his long sword and said with a sneer: "Is it possible that you don't know the decree of the palace master? According to the decree of the palace master! Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will be killed!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there were already screams one after another in the surrounding mountains and forests. Someone everywhere said something like being executed according to the decree of the palace master. The group of people turned pale and shuddered in fright. Their feelings were serious and they immediately shut up. Mouth.

Soon, the hustle and bustle around him quickly quieted down. Miao Yi, who was under the big tree of the Chinese Army, turned around and smiled at Tao Qingli, as if to say, I was right.

There was a pile of heads piled up in front of Sikong Wuwei's horse. He carried a long ax and asked, "How many heads are there?"

The person counting them replied: "Eight hundred and twenty-six."

Sikong Wuwei immediately glanced coldly at those who responded, "I want a thousand heads, didn't you hear?"

A confidant cupped his hand and replied: "Sir, I haven't found anyone talking nonsense for the time being..." The implication is that we shouldn't kill indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, Sikong Wuwei glared, "There were so many people shouting just now, how come there weren't any? It's just that you didn't notice it. Go to each hall to pick up a few heads to make up the count and see which one looks more unpleasant to the eye. The one who didn't like the one just now You must be shouting, pick your head right over and don’t come back to see me if you don’t get more than a thousand!”

"Yes!" The knights immediately took orders and dispersed.

Then I saw the law enforcement team patrolling among the people in each palace. The leader of a certain team of the law enforcement team suddenly pointed a gun at a man who looked at him angrily but dared not say anything. The people behind him immediately rushed towards him. The man said quickly: " What are you doing? I didn’t say anything!”

Not allowing him to quibble, several spears rushed towards him and directly poked bloody holes in his body. Someone shot his head off and took it away to the leader.

The team leader sneered. He had never seen such a stupid person who didn't even know how to resist. He raised his head and shouted loudly to the crowd around him: "Someone reported that he just said something rude and shaken the morale of the army, kill him!"

After saying that, he turned his mount, raised his head and walked away.

A group of people suddenly looked at each other. Is there anyone reporting this?

They never dreamed that Sikong Wuwei would order someone to kill him if he didn't like it, so they all looked at the people around them with caution. It was a lie to say that they were not worried about being reported. They should note that most of the people just started shouting to vent their dissatisfaction. It was probably casual. If you drag one out and kill it, you won't go wrong.

Soon, one thousand and five heads were piled in front of Sikong Wuwei. Even if one was missing, Sikong Wuwei pretended not to see them... (To be continued...)
