548: Chapter 92 Just Want to See You Once_2
Du Yunzhong was montarily speechless.
Behind him, the Iron Cavalry of Camp Cang stood in neat formation, their expressions slightly awkward, while those from the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry furrowed their brows even more.
To have laid such an arrangent only to let soone escape?
This was truly inexcusable!
Commander ng possesses the cultivation of Yin God Middle Realm.
Even if Xie Zhen is strong, could he really contend with a Yin God Middle Realm as a Cave Heaven Body?
“Shut up.”
ng Kejian suppressed his anger and coldly said, “If ng has made a mistake, I will naturally accept the punishnt.
It’s not your place to criticize.”
“You…”
Nalan Qiutong had just wanted to speak up when she was interrupted.
“Ajian, do not be rude.”
A gentle chiding sounded.
ng Kejian quickly adjusted his attitude, while Nalan Qiutong also stopped speaking, choosing to let the matter rest.
At this mont, the three of them and a host of Iron Cavalry were all gathered in front of the talisman on Little Desolate Mountain.
But at the summit, directly in front, stood only one person, at the highest point.
Clad in green, Chen Chong stood with hands behind his back, looking up after lowering his head, observing the scattered talismans on the ground below and the overcast clouds above, pierced by the golden Buddhist light.
Chen Chong’s expression was calm…as if in his eyes, this major mistake was of no account.
“Great General.”
ng Kejian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knelt on one knee: “This subordinate has been negligent and made a grave error, and is willing to accept punishnt!”
“…”
Silence filled the mountain.
Du Yunzhong’s eyes conveyed much worry.
Only Nalan Qiutong, witnessing this scene, had a sense of satisfaction in her eyes.
Punishnt!
There should indeed be a severe punishnt!
ng Kejian had previously mocked and stood aside with indifference, leading to a disastrous outco…
With Chen Chong’s strict military discipline, how could he let this pass lightly?
“What mistake has been made?”
Unexpectedly,
The scholar in green standing at the mountain top, simply enjoying the scenery by himself, lightly threw out these words.
“What mistake has been made?”
With this question.
ng Kejian was utterly stunned.
Du Yunzhong was also stunned.
Nalan Qiutong quickly said, “General Chen, ng Kejian let Great Chu’s Xie Zhen and Mi Yun from Fan Yin Temple escape, and they are extrely important criminals!”
“Oh?”
Chen Chong slowly turned his head, showing only half of his face.
In his eyes, there was neither joy, sorrow, nor anger, only serene questioning: “Wasn’t it Miss Nalan who was responsible for intercepting Xie Zhen and Mi Yun?”
This ti, it was Nalan Qiutong’s turn to be taken aback.
“For this operation, the Xuan Ce National Master only had the Iron Cavalry of Yuzi Camp and Camp Cang work in cooperation…
Every single ambush and arrangent at Qixia Mountain was set by Miss Nalan.”
Chen Chong said indifferently, “In a sense, from the mont Xie Zhen escaped the ‘Cage Immortal Array,’ the assassination mission at Qixia Mountain was already a failure.
That Xie Zhen escaped can only be attributed to your incompetence.
If there is only one person to punish, then it can only be you.”
Nalan Qiutong’s complexion was pale, with nothing to say.
She had no grounds for rebuttal.
Because the one who had first botched everything was herself.
After a long thought, Nalan Qiutong said in a hoarse voice, “I heard that the Great General stayed at Qixia Mountain to share a drink with Xie Zhen…
Since they have already t, why not just capture him directly?”
This question.
Made both Du Yunzhong and ng Kejian frown.
The Qixia Mountain assassination setup.
The reason Nalan Xuance did not show himself was precisely due to his wariness of the Zen Master—
Now that the Buddhist influence is waning, but no one is clear on the current state of the Zen Master!
Logically speaking.
The Great General should not have appeared, too; if today’s assassination plan was realized and the Zen Master appeared, the Great General could also have left unscathed.
In their eyes, the six cups of wine at Qixia Mountain were already enough.
“Good question.”
Chen Chong smiled lightly, and his subsequent answer was even more nonchalant: “Xuan Ce National Master wishes to negotiate peace with Xie Zhen, hence that eting between you as ‘Pelican’ and Xie Zhen.
If negotiations could happen once, they could happen a second ti.”
If today Nalan Xuance let his disciple take action on his behalf, deliberately evading the matter concerning the Zen Master, it could not be discussed openly.
Then, Chen Chong’s “fault” of detaining soone with Drunken Immortal Brew at Qixia Mountain turns out to be a rit instead.
In a certain sense.
Is this not so kind of test towards the “Zen Master”?
After all, Nalan Xuance planning the assassination at Qixia Mountain was just to see the situation of the “Zen Master.”
“I…”
Nalan Qiutong sighed, completely at a loss for words.
She turned to look around and saw only indifferent gazes from all sides, be it the elite troops of the two camps or the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry, nobody treated her as “one of their own.”
Nalan Qiutong knew that the mission had already failed, and there was no point in staying any longer.
Chen Chong would not punish ng Kejian, nor would he punish anyone under his command.
With this thought, Nalan Qiutong turned and left without any hesitation.
“Great General?”
ng Kejian raised his head, watching the departing figure of Nalan Qiutong, his mind posed a question, but was directly halted by Chen Chong.
“What are you thinking?
She is the Xuan Ce National Master’s Direct Disciple.”
Chen Chong shook his head and chuckled, “If nothing unexpected happens, in a few years’ ti, she will beco the next Da Li National Master…”
“Pah!
Does she deserve it?”
Du Yunzhong said disdainfully with a heavy voice, “That woman is too petty-minded…
If she becos the State Preceptor, I’ll be the first to object!”
Look at the neighbors.
The new generation State Preceptor of Great Chu, Chen Jingxuan.
What an exceptional talent he is, unparalleled in grace; is Nalan Qiutong comparable to him?
Nalan Qiutong is far too inferior, far too inferior!!
“Since ancient tis, raw jade needs to be carved.”
Chen Chong said placidly, “Xuanwei Island is distant from the secular world, Nalan Qiutong who has just entered the political arena is proud and unruly, not knowing when to retreat, it’s only human…
If she wants to beco the National Master, she still has a long way to go, and there will be others to carve and polish her.
What we need to do now is far more important than finding trouble with her.”
Upon these words, both ng Kejian and Du Yunzhong’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.
