Chapter 393: Snake Spirit Transformation
Chapter 393: Snake Spirit Transformation
This was the early winter of what later generations called the year 693. Braving the chilly weather, Wang Xiaojie led his army to the battle.
Without Su Honghui's betrayal this time, Wang Xiaojie's journey to the expedition should be much smoother.
The only people that Li Cunxi was worried about while heading north were Qiu Jing and Li Kaigu from Chongzhou, as well as Prince Mochuo of the Turkic state.
When these people are mixed together, they become a mess.
If you're not careful, it will explode and splash all over passers-by.
Li Cunxi, who was in Xuzhou, thought about it again and again and decided to send Qiao Tai to the south to do a secret thing.
One month later, Chongzhou.
The border war broke out, and Wang Xiaojie led his troops to fight against Li Jinzhong of the Khitan.
All ranches along the border have been closed and all cities have been blockaded.
On a mountain not far from the Helan Mountain Post Station, Xiao Feng sat on the top of the mountain, looking calmly at the Helan Post Station in the distance.
Everyone in the fifth hall followed her silently, looking at Helan Yi with grim eyes.
As it was getting dark, a member of the Snake Spirit who came from afar delivered a letter to Xiaofeng.
"The one among the Turks, let me deliver this letter to you."
"As long as you look at it, you will know what to do next."
The visitor handed over the letter respectfully with a low voice.
Xiao Feng's eyes were full of murderous intent. He took the envelope, opened it, took out the letter inside, and just glanced at it before revealing an ambiguous smile.
For some reason, the Snake Spirit member who delivered the letter always had a bad premonition. He was suddenly startled and saw a sword blade protruding from his chest.
The members of the Five Halls had already drawn the sword and kicked the messenger down the mountain.
Before he could even scream, the other person was thrown to death.
"Big sister is still too stupid to actually want me to come to Helanyi to deal with the people here."
"Hehehe."
Xiao Feng laughed, she really couldn't believe how Xiao Qingfang could be so stupid that she didn't even realize that all the experts under her command were about to surrender to the enemy.
"Master, do we still have to stay here?"
"Well, from today until the end of this war, we will stay here to prevent Helan Station from being breached by our brothers inside."
"But, Master, why should we do this?"
"This is not a question you should ask. Don't worry, as long as the next thing is successful, in a few years, we won't have to hide in the shadows like rats."
"But aren't we just mice?"
"No, we are not mice, and we should not be mice. We should be upright...human beings."
Xiaofeng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm herself down.
"Although my elder sister has developed the snake spirit, it is impossible for her to overthrow the rule of the current emperor. We must make plans early."
"As your hall master, I will not harm you."
"I dared to tell you this two years ago, and I still dare to tell you this today, two years later."
The subordinates looked at each other and tacitly agreed to such a big thing as leaving Xiao Qingfang.
Anyway, over the years, the members of the Snake Spirit have only listened to their leader, and they follow their leader in everything they do.
As for the eldest sister Xiao Qingfang, she is just a match.
These people may not even listen to Yuan Tiangang's words.
Who are you, Xiao Qingfang, from Egypt?
Xiaomei turned around and continued to turn her back to these dear members of the Five Halls, looking straight in the direction of Helan Station.
Except for two people who were on guard outside, the rest of the guards guarding Helan Post were drinking and having fun in the room.
This kind of defense is simply amazing, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a piece of shit.
"No wonder my brother-in-law told me to listen to my eldest sister and come here to guard. Otherwise, if these useless things run into my Snake Spirit members, I'm afraid they will die in a moment."
Xiaofeng sighed quietly, missing her brother-in-law who was already the prefect of Henan Province at such a young age.
……
Liuzhou, Dayangshan.
Mountain pavilion.
Kui Wenzhong and Xiaohui stood opposite each other, while the Snake Spirit members outside were all in a menacing and battle-ready posture.
"Have you guys agreed on that, brothers?"
"Don't worry, everything has been handled. More hall masters still want to be with us, they all look down on Xiao Qingfang."
"Where's the rest?"
"You are stubborn." Kui Wenzhong rubbed his fists. "I have decided to start the assassination tonight. As long as you are unwilling to follow our leader, no one will be spared."
Xiaohui nodded, this was exactly how Kui Wenzhong did things.
Therefore, she did not intend to stop Kui Wenzhong.
If you want to do big things, you can't care about a few small lives.
"Do you need my help, brother?"
"No need. Killing a few people is easy. Just pass the order and gather all the obedient hall masters. It won't be long before Xiaomei arrives."
"Xiaomei is back too?"
"Last time Wu Xiang brought word that Xiaomei would be back before we took action. I calculated the date and it should be tonight at the latest."
"No wonder you chose to take action tonight. It turns out everything was planned."
"The plan was all made by Cun Xi. Tonight is the night to subdue the snake spirit!"
Kui Wenzhong took out a bamboo tube knife from behind him, checked the other weapons, then sat down and waited for Xiaomei to arrive.
As midnight approached, dozens of figures appeared outside the pavilion in the mountains.
The leader took off his hood and said calmly:
"I am back."
All the hall masters present exclaimed in surprise. They couldn't believe that Kui Wenzhong was rebelling and Xiaomei dared to get involved.
"Brothers, brothers, follow my lead."
Kui Wenzhong, who was always low-key, stood up, raised his hands and clapped twice.
"Aren't you always surprised, asking us what we are going to do?"
"Many of you, after receiving my invitation, are eager to know who we are on the same side with and whether we are still loyal to the old master."
"Now I'm telling you."
"My brother, Kui Wenzhong, is coming back to take charge of the Snake Spirits. Among the six snake leaders, except for Bian Ling, all the others have already joined my brother, including myself."
"Regarding the matter of my brother taking control of the Snake Spirit, I believe most of you who are working with Brother Huan Bin have already received the news."
"Now, you are free to make your final choice."
"Will you follow us, rely on the current high-ranking officials and the future crown prince to change the Snake Spirit together, or will you become our enemy?"
When has Kui Wenzhong, who has always been respectful, polite, and well-educated, ever said such a thing?
They were really drifting tonight. Kui Wenzhong couldn't think of any Snake Spirit member who could stop them.
This is a combination of the five snake heads plus Huan Bin!
Even if Huan Bin is not involved, the prestige of the five snake heads combined is greater than that of Xiao Qingfang.
The hall masters who followed Huan Bin naturally had no objection. Since their big brother had already followed Li Cunxi, why would they act differently?
Those who had already made up their minds gradually turned their attention to the hall masters who had not yet expressed their opinions.
