Chapter 2608: Fell into a trap(1/2)
Confronting the Great Soldier?
Qi Ying must not believe it, but he was so confident that he couldn't say anything more.
Soon, Zhilong left Tangquan Mountain and rushed towards Chi Chongzong.
Qi Ying continued to work on the fortifications in Tangquan Mountain.
However, what puzzled Qi Ying was why the reinforcements from the Xihong Plain could not come for a long time?
Logically speaking, the rebels surrounded the place, preventing their own people from rushing out to make a message and cutting off contact with the outside world, and the strongholds outside should be suspicious, especially at this moment.
The Western Red Plain is so close to this place that it is impossible for them to have not received any news yet.
"Can something happen to the West Red Plain?"
A bold idea emerged in Qi Ying's heart.
But as soon as this idea appeared, Qi Ying couldn't help but shake his head.
This is really ridiculous!
The Western Red Plain is the second-ranked super stronghold among the top ten strongholds. Not to mention the garrison power of the Western Red Plain, just talking about its commander Changluo River, that is a terrifying existence that is not even enough for oneself to deal with.
Even if the other party is really Bai Ye, Changluohe can deal with it until reinforcements arrive.
"Are you worried about nothing? You'd better take care of yourself!"
Qi Ying shook his head and thoughts.
At this time, a deputy general walked in quickly.
"Grand Commander, the Xihong Plain is here!" said the deputy general.
Qi Ying immediately asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"The Changluo River commander of the Xihong Plain distributed letters of order to dozens of strongholds, requiring all the people from large and small strongholds to gather at the Xihong Plain at noon tomorrow to discuss the matter of dealing with the rebels." The deputy general said seriously.
"Yeah?"
Qi Ying frowned and began to think.
After a while, he turned his head and asked, "Which strongholds have been invited by the top ten strongholds?"
"The top five strongholds were not invited, and the bottom five strongholds were all received. In addition, there are dozens of strongholds of all sizes around!"
"Is that so? Why did Commander Nachang invite us but not invite the heads of the top five strongholds?" Qi Ying snorted secretly.
"It is said that Commander Chang cannot invite him, and the locations of these five strongholds are too scattered, so it is not convenient to come and go!"
"Is that right...but...I always feel something is wrong..." Qi Ying said hoarsely.
"Sir, what's wrong with this? Now this rebel army is becoming more and more rampant. Even he dares to move our Tangquan Mountain. Commander Chang invites us to discuss the rebellion. Isn't this a normal thing?" said the deputy general.
"It seems normal, but I still think something is wrong. What is wrong... I can't understand..." Qi Ying sighed.
"Sir, do you mean...refusing to participate in this parliament?" the deputy general asked cautiously.
"I have this idea."
"Sir, think twice. If you offend Lord Changluohe, then...then..." The deputy general looked ugly and wanted to speak but stopped.
Qi Ying naturally knew his concerns.
Changluohe personally sent an invitation, and if he didn't go, he would not give him face.
The top five strongholds are all strong, and they are all powerful, and they are not afraid of Changluo River. But they are different, and they still have to depend on the other party's expression.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Yihen! Go, go and have a trip!"
"Please give me instructions, commander!" the deputy general said hurriedly.
"Go and take a look at those rebel strongholds immediately!"
"Sir, what do you want me to see?"
"Go and see if the supplies at those strongholds are still there!"
"Look at the supplies?"
The deputy general was stunned and puzzled.
"Go quickly and report to me immediately after checking!"
"Abide by the order!"
"Wait a minute!" Qi Ying seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly shouted again.
The deputy general was stunned and looked at him.
"After you check those strongholds, go to the Xihong Plain again! Listen, don't talk to the people in the Xihong Plain, check it secretly, check it out for me, check if there is any other action on the Xihong Plain today!!"
"Abide by the order!"
The deputy general clasped his fists and left in a hurry.
Qi Ying sat nervously on the mountain and looked into the distance.
He didn't care about the progress of the surrounding fortifications.
Because a bad premonition gradually came to his heart...
Qi Ying believed in his premonitions more. His premonitions had saved him several times before...
I don't know how long it took.
A figure appeared in the horizon.
But it was not the deputy general, but the figure of Zhilong who had left before.
"Mr. Zhilong!" Qi Ying immediately stood up to greet him.
But seeing Zhilong's expression was very unnatural.
"I have met Lord Qi Ying!" Zhilong bowed slightly.
"Mr. Zhilong, what did you find?" Qi Ying asked immediately.
"There are still many rebels left in Chi Chongzong!"
"Are they really nested there?" Qi Ying frowned.
"No, that's just a part of the rebels, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled! I believe that is definitely not the main force of the rebels! The real main force of the rebels is now missing!" Zhi Longchen shouted.
As soon as these words came, Qi Ying's face changed suddenly.
"Is it... really as I expected?" Qi Ying looked particularly ugly and murmured to himself.
"Expectedly? Lord Qi Ying, what do you mean?" Zhilong asked in confusion.
Qi Ying was about to say that, but he saw another figure flying from afar, which was the deputy general who had sent earlier.
"Grand Commander!" the deputy general shouted loudly.
Qi Ying immediately stepped forward.
"Meet the commander!"
"What's the situation? Tell me quickly!" Qi Ying shouted anxiously.
"Reported to the commander, the supplies from all the strongholds were taken away. In addition, his subordinates also traveled to the Xihong Plain. After some investigation, it was found that the Xihong Plain, the commander Changluohe, personally led an elite force to help us Tangquan Mountain this morning. However, the team was about to drive, so they retreated, saying that Commander Chang learned that the crisis in Tangquan Mountain was lifted, so he turned back on his own!" The deputy general said.
When Qi Ying heard this, his face was bloodless, and his whole body was shaking and almost fell to the ground.
"Grand Commander! What's wrong with you?"
The deputy general hurriedly supported Qi Ying.
"Mr. Qiying, are you okay?" Zhilong also frowned.
"Mr. Zhilong, I've been trapped... We've all been trapped..." Qi Ying slapped his thigh continuously and said anxiously.
"After the trap? Lord Qi Ying! Let me tell you in detail!" Zhilong asked hurriedly.
"Those rebels attacked my Tangquan Mountain, but in fact they led the snake out of the cave! They transferred the tiger out of the mountain! Their real purpose was not my Tangquan Mountain, but the Xihong Plain!!!" Qi Ying said anxiously.
"Is the Xihong Plain attacked?" Zhilong asked in a daze.
"I have never heard of it. When my subordinates went to the Xihong Plain, they saw that everything was fine and there was no sign of being attacked." The deputy general said in a daze.
"It was not the Xihong Plain that was attacked! It was the commander of Changluo River! It was the elite unit he led!!" Qi Ying said anxiously.
"What?"
Zhilong's face changed instantly.
The people around him couldn't help but turn pale.
"How is this... possible? Sir! Commander Changluohe is the supreme powerhouse. How can those rebels deal with him? This is impossible..." The deputy general said in disbelief.
"Mr. Qiying, this matter is extraordinary. Don't say anything nonsense. The Xihong Plain is the location of the important strategic materials of my Dark Dynasty. If it is lost, then your and my head will have to move!" Zhilong lowered his voice and said hoarsely.
"I also hope my guess is false! But everything is really suspicious! So I said that 'Liao Chang', who came alone to destroy the barrier of my Tangquan Mountain, and then left again, and stopped attacking. The next morning, he led his army to attack suddenly! But before long, he took people away in a hurry! This was not like trying to take me Tangquan Mountain! It was more like spreading bait and fishing... That 'Liao Chang' was so weird! He could even destroy the barrier set up by the General Commander, which was enough to show the terror of his means. I was worried... that 'Liao Chang' was Bai Ye!"
"Besides, Commander Chang cannot be unaware of the rebels. He must always pay attention to Tangquan Mountain, which is closest to Chi Chongzong. When we are attacked, he will definitely take action, but why did his team suddenly turn back halfway through??"
