Chapter 194: Sword Manual, Ghost Sword Three Styles (8000)

Since the establishment of the Shengyou Army, it has always been strictly disciplined, and there will be no commotion in the barracks.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside, probably something happened.

Chu Yu's fair face changed slightly, turned his head to look at Xu Bai, and said: "I'll go out and take a look."

Xu Bai stood up and stretched: "I'll go and take a look too, let's go together."

The two of them went out of the tent directly and walked to an open space along the source of the sound. At this moment, a large number of wounded soldiers were lying in the open space. A general was covered with wounds, and even one of his eyes was blinded, and blood was constantly flowing.

There were many generals watching around, and King Shengyou was also there.

Before I got close, I heard King Shengyou's angry voice coming from afar.

"This damned Great Viet is really crazy. It doesn't even follow the most basic default rules!"

"It seems that they want to start a large-scale war with us. This king is not scared. Let's fight once."

"Come on, gather the troops and fight with me on the battlefield!"

The soldiers around looked at each other, nodded in unison, bowed and clasped their fists: "Yes!"

They were about to leave to command their own troops. After gathering the troops, they were led by King Shengyou and went directly to the battlefield.

Chu Yu saw this situation and shouted: "Dad, wait a minute, what's going on?"

King Shengyou heard the voice and turned his head and said: "Didn't you find the strangeness of the Transcendent Realm before? I sent people to deal with it, but I didn't expect that I was ambushed by the people of the Great Viet just after I dealt with it. Wang Zhou almost lost his life."

The words were full of anger. Obviously, the other party was so unruly that he had touched his reverse scale.

If there is a strangeness on the battlefield, everyone must deal with it first. This is an unspoken rule that all three parties must abide by.

But now the Great Viet Kingdom has taken the initiative to break this rule and is still lying in ambush there, waiting for them to finish their work before taking action.

This is no longer a provocation. In the eyes of King Shengyou, the Great Viet Kingdom wants to go to war with them.

Wang Zhou, the blinded general, is ready to follow King Shengyou regardless of his injuries.

After King Shengyou finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, everyone, wait a minute." Chu Yu hurriedly said, "This may be strange, don't act rashly."

She knows his father best.

If he leads troops to fight, he is really a good hand. After all, King Shengyou's reputation is well-known even in the Great Viet Kingdom and the barbarians.

On the battlefield, the Shengyou Army is brave and fearless, and has also made a name for itself.

But at this time, why can't her father see through things that even she can see through?

Just think about it, it has been so long, and there has been no major war. Even if she killed the ninth prince of the Great Viet Kingdom, there was no major conflict. At most, they ambushed and killed the eldest prince of the Great Chu Kingdom.

But that was only assassination and assassination after all, and direct conflict like this has not happened.

Now this unspoken rule that all three parties must abide by has been inexplicably disrupted by the Great Viet Kingdom. What does the Great Viet Kingdom think? Is it possible to start a war with full confidence?

The most important thing is that the Shengyou Army is guarding this border, and the battle line is very long. If the Shengyou Army is summoned at this moment, who will guard the border?

If it is only the Great Viet Kingdom, it is still a good thing. At worst, everyone will go to war, but there is still a barbarian tribe eyeing it. If the barbarian tribe takes this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, wouldn’t it be a wedding dress for others?

Even Chu Yu can see this matter clearly. She doesn’t know why her father is so reckless.

Upon hearing this, King Shengyou waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just wait for my order. They are already so arrogant. If I don't give them a slap in the face, where is the face of our great Chu State?"

Chu Yu opened her mouth slightly and wanted to continue speaking.

But before she could say anything, she felt someone holding her wrist. Turning her head, she saw Xu Bai shaking his head slightly and holding her wrist slightly hard.

Chu Yu was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

But she trusted Xu Bai with all her heart, so when she saw Xu Bai making this expression, she temporarily suppressed her thoughts.

King Shengyou left, and he really went to recruit troops.

Xu Bai took Chu Yu's hand and went back to his tent.

Along the way, Chu Yu didn't say anything, but everyone could see the doubt in her eyes. After entering the tent, she finally couldn't help but asked what she was thinking.

"Dad can't do such a reckless thing, what if the barbarians..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Bai.

Xu Bai held Chu Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think the prince is really a reckless man? If he is just a reckless man, how could he have been guarding this border all the time?"

Chu Yu was stunned, and after tasting what Xu Bai said, he said: "Is there another meaning?"

Xu Bai nodded. He had thought of something, but he was not sure.

Chu Yu's eyes turned slightly: "Could this be related to the barbarians? Is there any connection between the Great Chu Kingdom and the barbarians? Let's deal with the Great Viet Kingdom first?"

She could only think of this. After all, in this case, there was only this explanation. If you think about it carefully, if you really want to deal with the Great Viet Kingdom, you can't ignore the possibility of the barbarians taking advantage of the situation.

And now King Shengyou really wants to deal with the Great Viet Kingdom, so he has taken this worry into consideration.

If there is cooperation with the barbarians, then all this makes sense.

Xu Bai heard Chu Yu's thoughts, but shook his head: "Impossible."

Chu Yu thought her analysis was already unique, but was denied by Xu Bai. She couldn't help but feel a little angry and pulled Xu Bai's hand and shook it gently.

"Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me."

Xu Bai smiled: "Have you noticed that all the wounded soldiers who came back are fine? They look seriously injured, but none of them died."

"Logically speaking, the other side set up an ambush there, so it is impossible that no one died. If they died, it would be normal to carry the wounded back and some bodies back, but there was no body."

"There was a problem with your previous analysis. If you really cooperate with the barbarians, the Great Chu Kingdom would not send troops."

"Think about it carefully. If a former enemy of yours asked you to cooperate with him, let you deal with another person, and let you go all out first, would you be willing?"

Chu Yu fell into deep thought, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

She opened her eyes wide and analyzed Xu Bai's words. After a moment, she tentatively said.

"Does my father have other plans?"

Xu Bai nodded and said, "It should be like this. In my opinion, this war should not be fought."

It is definitely impossible to fight, and to be honest, the performance of King Shengyou just now was a bit reckless. Xu Bai always felt that he was performing for someone to see.

As for the purpose behind the scenes, let's wait and see.

With Xu Bai's explanation, Chu Yu was relieved a little.

"Then I will go to gather my people first. My father has already given the order. I am also a member of the military camp and I have to go to make arrangements first."

Xu Bai nodded and agreed.

It was okay for him to stay here, so he went out with Chu Yu.

When Chu Yu was making arrangements, Xu Bai saw his men.

What Xu Bai didn't expect was that these men were all Jianghu people. Although they had not entered the Transcendent Realm, some of them had already touched the edge of the Transcendent Realm.

Chu Yu was gathering his men, and Xu Bai's arrival made these Jianghu people excited, and some even trembled with excitement.

Of course they were excited. Who among the people in the martial arts world doesn't know the three words "Lord Xu"? If they could see the real person, they could brag about him to others when they go out in the future.

However, they obeyed the military order and no one came up to talk to Xu Bai, but their eyes were always on Xu Bai.

A few female martial artists even flirted with Xu Bai.

Chu Yu also saw it, and silently wrote down those female martial artists in a small notebook, and trained them more when she had time.

After all the troops were gathered, a horn sounded throughout the military camp.

At the same time, the soldiers in charge of the messenger were running around.

"Messengers, truce today, set off tomorrow, all the military camps are ready to go!"

This order was passed three times and spread throughout the camp.

In the military camp, there was a tense and serious atmosphere, as if the battle was really going to start tomorrow.

If Xu Bai didn't trust his judgment very much, he would feel that everyone would go to war tomorrow.

Chu Yu waved her hand quickly: "The troops are all here. Find a place to rest first, but don't be too lax. Gather together early tomorrow morning."

Military orders are as firm as a mountain. If it's tomorrow, it's tomorrow. There's no room for detours.

Now we just gather people together and let them know the news to avoid being at a loss tomorrow.

Everyone nodded and left.

After everyone left, Chu Yu walked to Xu Bai, pulled Xu Bai's sleeve, and said, "I wanted to accompany you to eat something and drink some wine, but now I have to go back to my tent."

With military orders, she didn't dare to slack off.

Xu Bai smiled, touched Chu Yu's head habitually, and said, "You've grown up."

Thinking of Chu Yu who was still studying with him before, she was really a simple and cute girl at that time. Although Chu Yu is still simple and cute now, she can be independent in many cases.

Chu Yu's face turned red after being touched by Xu Bai. She stamped her feet, slapped Xu Bai's hand away, and said, "You can't touch my head anymore now that you're grown up. You can't touch my head anymore. You have to treat me like an adult."

After saying that, she ran away with a red face.

Xu Bai was confused.

Didn't she enjoy being touched on the head before? Why did it suddenly become like this?

"Women's hearts are like needles in the sea. I don't understand them. Ye Zi is the best. She has good skills and doesn't have these petty tempers."

Thinking of Ye Zi, Xu Bai was also thinking about it. He didn't know when he could see her. It was still a long time before her study, and he didn't even know how her progress was.

He didn't think too much and turned back to his tent.

As for whether to start the battle tomorrow, we'll see tomorrow.

...

The night was getting deeper and deeper. The moon was hidden deep in the black clouds. Only sporadic moonlight shone through the clouds on the land.

In the wide military camp, soldiers patrolled with weapons from time to time. Some tents were lit, while others had turned off the lights to rest.

Xu Bai hadn't slept yet. He looked at the dim oil lamp in front of him and was still thinking about what happened in the morning.

He didn't know what kind of medicine Shengyou Wang was selling in his gourd, but he always felt that something would happen tonight.

Tomorrow, they would set off. It was impossible to fight, so tonight should be a necessary time point.

Xu Bai didn't know if his guess was right, but after he had this guess, it didn't matter if he didn't rest for a while.

After entering the Transcendent Realm, for him, not resting for ten days or half a month didn't have much impact.

Outside the tent, people passed by from time to time, they were soldiers on patrol.

There was a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.

The guards of King Shengyou's military camp were extremely strict, and this was only on the surface. I don't know how many people were guarding in secret.

Xu Bai looked at the figure that swayed from time to time, rested his head with his hands, and leaned on the chair.

He suddenly felt that life at the border was full of some special freshness.

After all, he had never experienced living in a tent like now. Of course, this freshness was only temporary, and he would get bored after living for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai changed one foot, put his right foot on the corner of the table, and propped it on the table.

When he just changed his foot, he suddenly heard a hint of unusual sound.

"There are footsteps."

The footsteps were extremely subtle, but they were completely different from those of the patrolling soldiers. Every step of the patrolling soldiers was open and aboveboard.

But the footsteps were sneaky, just like a cat walking on tiptoe.

Now is a critical period, who would walk on tiptoe?

After hearing this sound, Xu Bai's mouth corners slightly raised, he seemed to understand what King Shengyou did.

The soul began to expand, and after a moment, this area was covered by his soul.

Xu Bai could see through his soul that in the huge military camp, in an open space not far away, a shadow was flashing slightly.

After the shadow appeared, it quickly disappeared into the surrounding air. If it was normal, it would not be easy to find.

This is a master who is very good at hiding.

If Xu Bai hadn't heard the footsteps, he wouldn't have used his soul to observe. If he didn't use his soul to observe, even he couldn't find it.

Xu Bai was particularly alert tonight. After all, that incident happened, and he had been extremely careful, so he made some discoveries.

"It seems that the Shengyou Army is not a monolithic entity. The abnormality of King Shengyou today is probably because of this." Xu Bai thought to himself.

He did not continue to sit in his seat, but raised his feet and slowly walked out of the tent.

As soon as he came out, Xu Bai ran into patrolling soldiers.

However, these soldiers also knew Xu Bai's identity. When they saw Xu Bai coming out at this moment, they did not feel anything different. They took a look and left.

Xu Bai did not communicate, but rushed in the direction where the phantom disappeared.

Under the cover of the soul, he could feel that the imperceptible abnormality had already left the barracks.

Xu Bai did not startle and followed quietly behind.

Not long after, he was getting closer and closer to the phantom, but at this moment, he felt that the phantom stopped.

Soon, there was a commotion not far ahead, and there were shouts and screams. It was very subtle, but Xu Bai heard it.

"It's true. It turns out that such a big commotion was made just to hook the fish."

Xu Bai used the Divine Movement to break the Nine Turns, turned into a phantom, and approached quickly.

Soon, he came to the place where the shouts and screams came from, and saw a man in armor surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The leader of this group of soldiers was the general who was blinded in the morning.

The general's eyes were almost healed, and no one knew what secret method he used to grow new eyes, but there were many magical professions in this world, so it was normal to have such a situation.

The surrounded person was wounded and holding a scimitar in his hand. He said angrily: "Wang Zhou, I am above you in terms of position, how dare you send someone to attack me!"

Wang Zhou told his men not to let down their guard and surrounded the area tightly. Then he smiled: "The fox will eventually show its tail, including the dark building of the Great Yue Kingdom."

Dark building?

Xu Bai hid aside. After hearing these two words, he felt familiar. After thinking carefully, he knew that he had encountered it before.

Anlou is very similar to Jiantiansi. It is a sophisticated intelligence agency of the Great Chu State. It also has the same responsibilities as Jiantiansi, but it is broader and even serves the army.

The people of Anlou not only manage the rivers and lakes of the Great Viet State, but are also responsible for assassinations, spies, ambushes, and spies.

Now it seems that the surrounded general seems to be a member of Anlou.

Wang Zhou's words have made things clear. The face of the surrounded general became extremely ugly. Obviously, he knew that he had been exposed.

The general seemed to have thought of something, and his face showed a look of horror: "Making such a big noise and saying that he wanted to go to war with the Great Viet State, is it just to lure us out? The prince has a good plan."

We, them?

Xu Bai touched his chin.

It seems that not only this military camp, but also the military camps of the entire border are experiencing similar things.

That proves that his guess in the morning was correct. Everything was done by King Shengyou to pull out the nail.

Why did he pull out the nail now? Xu Bai guessed that there must be something more important.

At the scene, the general showed a bleak expression after knowing that his identity was exposed.

No one answered what he said. Now there is no way to survive.

Wang Zhou sighed and said, "You are also an old man who follows the prince. I really didn't expect it to be you. What kind of interests can make you betray?"

Hearing this, the general laughed bitterly and said, "In addition to interests, there are other things in this world. The dark building paid so much and sent me in. There must be a place to control me. The prince is really good to me. It's a pity that we are not on the same path after all."

When the general spoke, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The general's face turned blue-purple, which is a sign of poisoning.

They are all in the border and are all military formations. Of course, he understands what it means to be surrounded by a group of soldiers. It is impossible to escape. It is better to die as soon as possible.

"In this way... my family won't die either. At least I died for the Dark Tower."

The general fell to the ground in pain, grabbing the dirt with his hands, his nails were scratched and fell off. The poison was not pleasant.

Although he had a painful look on his face, there was regret in his eyes.

"The prince treated me well, but I had no choice. If there is an afterlife, I will not have so many burdens. I am only willing to kill two more enemies for the prince."

The general's eyes gradually dimmed, and his purple face gradually stiffened, and soon there was no breath of life.

Wang Zhou looked at this scene coldly and said, "Take it away."

Several soldiers came over and took the body away. Soon, the group disappeared from the spot.

Xu Bai did not show up and watched this scene silently.

After the crowd disappeared, he turned around and returned to the barracks.

However, he did not return to his tent, but went to where King Shengyou lived.

These things must be understood, and Xu Bai also wanted to know what the purpose was.

It is unreasonable to say that King Shengyou didn't know there was a stalker around him.

But why did he pull it out at this time instead of earlier? Something must have happened.

Xu Bai was very curious, especially about some secrets.

He thought about asking, if King Shengyou didn't tell him, then forget it.

The closer he got to King Shengyou's tent, the faster Xu Bai walked. No one stopped him, after all, his identity was there.

It's true that sometimes the identity of Prince Xu was very useful. For example, when it came to Buddhism, a token was enough to intimidate the monks.

The oil lamp was still on in King Shengyou's tent, but when Xu Bai approached, he suddenly stopped and then showed a look of joy on his face.

He felt that there was another person in King Shengyou's tent, and he was an old acquaintance, someone he especially wanted to see.

Outside the tent, there were soldiers guarding from a distance. They did not stop Xu Bai. After Xu Bai arrived, before he could speak, a voice came.

"Come in, I know you've seen it."

This was the voice of King Shengyou, which was full of confidence, and he seemed not curious about Xu Bai's arrival.

Xu Bai smiled, pushed open the curtain of the tent, and strode in.

In addition to King Shengyou, there was another person sitting aside, smiling and looking at Xu Bai.

After Xu Bai and this person looked at each other, he bowed and said, "Meet Eunuch Wei."

The person who came was none other than Eunuch Wei.

When Eunuch Wei saw Xu Bai, there was a smile on his face. Although it looked particularly scary, in Xu Bai's eyes, this kind of terror disappeared, and instead there was a sense of intimacy.

After being around for so long, he could see a lot of people's hearts. He knew that Eunuch Wei was very sincere to him.

Eunuch Wei quickly put away his smile and stood up, his tone reprimanding: "Nonsense, as a king of a different surname, how can you bow to a eunuch like me?"

As the most rule-abiding person, even if Shengyou Wang broke the rules, Eunuch Wei dared to scold him loudly, even if it was His Majesty the Emperor.

The most important thing is that in the entire Chu Kingdom, who is the most loyal, it is none other than Eunuch Wei.

At the beginning, because of the Chu Kingdom, he lost his most precious thing, and because of his physical disability, he was even unwilling to accept a position equivalent to the prime minister, and willingly became the head of the eunuchs.

To be honest, even a cunning person like Xu Bai admires this state of mind from the bottom of his heart.

At least he can't do it.

What's more, although the two of them are very different in age, they have become friends regardless of age, especially when working in the palace, they can really talk about it.

So at this moment, when Eunuch Wei scolded him, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Xu Bai said: "It's not possible to change your identity for a while, not to mention that in front of Eunuch Wei, it's better to drink two more jars of wine instead of talking about etiquette."

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei smiled even more brilliantly, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

In the palace, the two of them drank together a lot.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring any wine this time, but I brought a gift for Lord Xu." Eunuch Wei handed over the book in his hand.

Xu Bai was stunned. After receiving it in his hand, he found that there was a golden progress bar on it.

This progress bar was very slow, even slower than the progress bar he saw on Wuhua.

After just a little comparison, Xu Bai knew that this thing was definitely extraordinary.

There were a few words on the book - Ghost Sword Three Styles.

"Sword Manual? For me?" Xu Bai asked.

Eunuch Wei nodded: "Extraordinary sixth-grade master, the unique skills of the sword ghost, my family finally got it here, and this time it happened to be a gift."

Beside him, the corner of Shengyou King's mouth twitched.

"Honestly, whether Xu Bai is your illegitimate son or not, I know Daogui's temper. You actually got this thing for Xu Bai."

To be honest, King Shengyou had never seen Eunuch Wei treat people so well, so he did this.

"Nonsense, as a prince, how can you be so rude?" Eunuch Wei turned his head and did not give King Shengyou any face: "The stronger Prince Xu is, the better for the Great Chu. Daogui was defeated by me that day, and he was very happy to give it to me."

Happy means that if I don't give it, I will take off Daogui's head.

King Shengyou was scolded by Eunuch Wei, and he couldn't help rubbing his head with a headache.

Only Eunuch Wei dared to say this to him. Even if the prime minister of the current dynasty was here, if he said it, he would dare to pick up the knife and chop it.

But Eunuch Wei can't do that. Eunuch Wei has no problem with his character. He is really for the Great Chu. What reason do you have to chop it, King Shengyou?

Xu Bai ignored the two people's bickering and thought: "This gift seems a bit heavy."

A master of the sixth level of transcendence, after all, it is an extraordinary skill, right?

He really lacks an attack method now. After all, after having the Immortal Demon Soul Buddha Body, his defense has been greatly improved. Now he just needs to improve his attack power.

Now he is really sleepy and needs a pillow. Xu Bai is even looking forward to it. He doesn't know what this skill can be integrated into.

Eunuch Wei shook his head and said: "This is a gift from our family to you. It is just a private gift. It is not heavy at all, and you don't need a return gift."

With this sentence, Xu Bai didn't hesitate any more and happily put the Ghost Blade Three Styles into the hands of the first-level puppet.

There is a progress bar, it's a waste not to take it, not to mention that it has been made clear, it's normal to put it away.

After Xu Bai put it away, Eunuch Wei turned his head with a serious face and looked at King Shengyou.

"Your Highness, although we cannot make the decision on this border matter, and it is not our business, I still want to say something. This time it is a bit risky."

Eunuch Wei's words were serious, without any blame, but just a reminder.

"The nail can be pulled out slowly. Military orders are like mountains, but Your Highness used this method to pull out the nail. It's okay once, but don't do it a second time, otherwise it is very likely to break your promise."

Xu Bai listened on the side and didn't speak.

Everything that Eunuch Wei said just now made sense.

For example, the ancient beacon fire tricks on the princes have the same effect as this time.

Of course, Eunuch Wei's words were also exaggerated a bit, in order to make King Shengyou remember it for a long time.

Xu Bai also understood and knew what King Shengyou meant by doing this.

Think about it carefully, if all the troops are notified in advance that they will attack Dai Viet tomorrow, then once the nails in the army hear this news, they will definitely pass the news out as soon as possible.

Another step of waiting will easily reveal the true form of the nails.

King Shengyou shook his head and said, "I also want to slowly remove them, but time is not waiting for me. There is no time to slowly remove these nails. I must remove them as much as possible, and as soon as possible."

After this sentence fell, Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Time is not waiting for me?

These four words mean that something is going to happen, and it is a big thing, and it is a secret, otherwise it is impossible to pull out the nail in the army so quickly.

Eunuch Wei reacted quickly and waved his hands gently around.

A gray thread appeared from his body and soon spread all around.

Xu Bai saw it and felt a huge pressure coming.

"This Eunuch Wei is really unfathomable. He is worthy of being an extraordinary invincible person, and he can fight even if he becomes a saint."

After thinking about it, Xu Bai did not think about anything else, but kept his eyes on King Shengyou.

Eunuch Wei put his hands on his lower abdomen and said, "My lord, in your army, plus our family's means, you can say it with confidence, no one knows."

There is still Xu Bai here, but Eunuch Wei said that he can speak it with confidence, obviously treating Xu Bai as his own.

Prince Shengyou also regarded Xu Bai as his own. After hearing this, he showed a very solemn expression and slowly said: "Ruins."

These two simple words, Eunuch Wei and Xu Bai had different expressions after hearing them.

Eunuch Wei was stunned at first, then stood up suddenly, with an uncertain expression on his face.

It was obvious that Eunuch Wei knew what ruins were, and these two words seemed very important, important enough to make Eunuch Wei's expression out of control.

Xu Bai was at a loss, looking left and right, with an expression of inexperienced.

It was not his fault, after all, he had not been in this circle for too long, and from some perspectives, he was still a newbie.

"Ahem." Xu Bai pretended to cough, attracting the attention of the two, and then said: "You two, if possible, can you explain to me what ruins are?"
