Chapter 170 Rout
Happy times are always short-lived. The next night, Wang Sheng’s men could no longer laugh.
Mulan Qingqing's full-day income was released and passed to this side. She earned about 15,000 Insect Crystals in that day alone.
Captain Mai Zhan ran into Shi Chun's cave, told Shi Chun the bad news, and secretly observed Shi Chun's expression and reaction.
After hearing the news, Shi Chun's face became extremely solemn and he said nothing.
After Chief Mai Zhan left, Wu Jinliang and Chu Jingtang from the next cave came over.
Shi Chun finally laughed and said to the two of them, "Here comes something interesting."
Wu Jinliang: "How do you mean?"
Shi Chun: "You don't really think they got more than 15,000 today?"
Chu Jingtang was curious, "You mean, this number is fake?"
It is easy for him to think in this direction. There is no way around it, he lies in this regard every day.
Shi Chun said: "You all know the news from Jizhou, where they started on the first day. That was the fattest target they had been eyeing for a long time. Including the fattest one, they only got about 10,000 on the first day. On the third day, they made more than the first day. Do you think this is normal?
Although we haven't encountered any tough enemies in these days, we have been fighting for these days and have collected some scraps. We have only got a few. The brothers are in the dark and don't know the truth, but don't we know it ourselves? We have a little idea of the bottom line of each party.
It is difficult to make more than 10,000 a day. The 10,000 or so in Jizhou’s hands were mined by countless people who risked their lives to dig them out of the Moon Sea. I also don’t know how many people they killed before they had all of them.”
Wu Jinliang and Chu Jingtang thought the same.
Shi Chun smiled, "I thought they would rely on their strength to force us to submit, but I didn't expect them to play courteous. Of course, this is all my guess. If they want to surpass us, they must have more than 10,000 points tomorrow. If they still have more than 10,000 points tomorrow, then they are probably faking it."
Chu Jingtang was a little confused after hearing this, "No, Brother Wang, why do we have to fake it like this? Why do they also fake it? What are you two playing at?"
"Haha." Wu Jinliang laughed and patted his shoulder. "Brother Chu, don't worry. As I said before, it will be meaningless if you tell it out loud. Who can we turn to if the news leaks out? Just wait and see. You just need to believe one thing. We can't cheat Youxiashan. We must find a way to get ourselves out of this crisis."
"Alas." Chu Jingtang sighed. If he didn't believe this, he wouldn't have done this unsure thing.
He also realized that these two guys must have some perfect plan in their minds, and they were very steady.
It was precisely because the two of them were controlling the progress of the situation in an orderly manner that he felt more and more confident.
"Brother Chu, it's enough for you to know about this. Mulan Qingqing and the others' fraud must not be known to Tong Mingshan and the others, not even to our own people. Once it gets out, our plan will be ruined." Shi Chun gave another earnest instruction.
If it weren't for the need to gain people's trust and the fact that he really had no reliable people on his side, he would not have allowed outsiders like Chu Jingtang to participate in the fraud.
Chu Jingtang: "Brother Wang, you worry too much. We are all on the same boat, how can we expect the boat to sink? Don't worry, my brothers and I won't leak a single word."
The next day, the results of Mulan Qingqing's troops were as expected, and they harvested more than 10,000 insect crystals.
Mulan and Qingqing's men were excited, but Shi Chun's men were anxious. They had finally gained a lead, but if they continued like this, they would definitely be overtaken.
Unable to wait any longer, the second "military remonstrance" occurred.
A large group of people blocked Shi Chun's door again, and the five brothers of the Bilan Sect who were watching felt embarrassed for Shi Chun.
They knew the truth about the harvest of the Insect Crystal, and they knew it would be useless no matter how hard they tried, but it was impossible for them to reveal the truth and ruin their efforts.
Facing the excitement of everyone volunteering to fight, Shi Chun said loudly: "I have said it many times, our spies have done their best, and we can't find a more suitable target. The cost of confronting the main forces of each continent is too high! I still say that in order to save everyone's lives, no, no, no."
The leader shouted, "Boss, nearly a thousand people have died in the battle. There were more than 3,800 people under your command, but now there are only 2,900 left. What are you fighting for? Some sects had five people, but now there are only two left. Some have only one left, and some are missing limbs. If they don't bring any credit back, how can they explain to the sect and themselves?"
The sound is like crying blood.
"The boss."
"The boss..."
The crowd pleaded one after another, hoping to evoke the boss's sympathy.
Amid the cries of begging, Shi Chun's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and suddenly he said loudly: "No matter what my purpose is for working with you, we are still working together, and I really can't bear to let you pay too high a price. You can't be blindly confident because of your previous invincibility. I know that if I don't agree, everyone will resent me, but I still have to say, I don't agree!"
"The boss!"
"The boss!"
Everyone started begging again, and it looked like they were about to kneel down to Shi Chun.
Seeing that Shi Chun remained unmoved, someone finally couldn't help but say something excessive, "Boss, is it because Mulan Qingqing is your fiancée and you don't care whether you can beat her or not? You just want to use everyone to prove that your ability is no worse than hers, and you want to deliberately let her win in the end?"
After these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, with all eyes fixed on Shi Chun's face.
The five people from the Bilan Sect who were watching secretly sighed, thinking that Brother Wang really had it too hard.
Shi Chun was silent for a while before responding, "Do we really have to do this?"
"Yes!"
"Please help me, Boss!"
As soon as this sentence was shouted out, everyone immediately followed suit, and the voices gradually became uniform, "Please help us, Boss, please help us, Boss, please help us..."
The atmosphere at the scene was very excited, as if the cheers would not stop unless Shi Chun agreed. "Okay!" Shi Chun suddenly shouted, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Only his voice remained: "Since everyone insists on doing this, I will not stop you. I can't stop you, but I still insist on my own opinion. You guys, do as you please!"
The leader immediately took two steps forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, Boss. Whether it succeeds or fails, we have to give it a try. However, Boss, please do not stand idly by and hope for your support."
Shi Chun: "I said, I don't agree, and I won't participate, you guys can do whatever you want."
The leader said, "I dare not trouble the boss to go in person. However, we are isolated from the news, and the boss is very good at using spies. I believe that with a little effort, the boss can find the whereabouts of the Dizhou troops mentioned last time. The boss..."
Shi Chun raised his hand to stop him from talking, and said coldly: "I will give you an answer within an hour!"
The leader was overjoyed, and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Boss!"
A group of people bowed their heads and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Boss!"
"Hmph." Shi Chun snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and went into the cave.
Outside the cave, everyone slowly stood up and looked at each other, some happy, some embarrassed.
Although the forced abdication was successful, it is hard to doubt that the great master has made great contributions to the current achievements.
Of course, everyone still hopes that the boss will fight with everyone like before. Due to different ideas, no one wants to see the step of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Everyone dispersed quietly.
The five people from the Bilan Sect who were watching them from the front of the cave sighed and shook their heads again.
The boss was a man of his word. In less than half an hour, he informed the detailed location of the remaining elite troops in Dizhou.
When the leading group learned about the situation, they were overjoyed and admired the boss's spy very much. They thought that the boss's spy's ability to use the information was amazing. He found the target location within an hour as he said.
Without waiting for dawn, two to three thousand men gathered in the middle of the night. Although the boss did not participate, the men still used the boss's usual method and rushed forward.
After watching the people disappear, the people who stayed behind from the Bilan Sect, Bailian Sect, Miaoxian Sect, Zhuque Pavilion, Wancao Hall and others turned around and looked at Shi Chun.
Chu Jingtang asked, "Boss, there won't be any big problems, right?"
Shi Chun said sadly: "I don't know. Since we have to face it eventually, let them do it."
He knew in his heart that perhaps sacrificing these people would help gain the trust of Mulan and Qingqing.
If he was not afraid that his ultimate goal would be revealed and arouse suspicion and thus fail, and if he did not want to leave room for maneuver in case his identity was faked, he would not need to do all these things at all. He could directly use the handle to threaten Mulan Qingqing to give him all the insect crystals of Xuanzhou.
Of course, Mulan and Qingqing might not be able to do it too directly, because those things are not from the same family after all.
After Shi Chun turned around and went back into the cave, he took out the mother-child talisman and contacted Xiang Lan'er: Let your people leave before dawn.
As soon as we saw the time these people set out, we knew that they were going to launch the attack before the Dizhou troops moved after daybreak.
Xiang Lan'er's reply was just three words: I understand.
At the Royal Capital Parade Ground, as the conference drew to an end, more and more people came to watch in front of the mirror, including the Domain Lords in the best viewing seats.
All parties are extremely concerned about the two groups of people in Xuanzhou, especially the domain lords. It is obvious that the people of Xuanzhou are frantically attacking and robbing people from other continents. Today it is these continents, and tomorrow they are worried that it will be their own continent's turn.
Soon after nightfall in the royal capital, everyone saw an extremely brutal battle in the mirror image. Nearly three thousand men under Shi Chun were fighting a bloody battle with about two hundred people from Dizhou.
At the beginning, the two hundred people were really panicked. The reputation of the Xuanzhou people was there, but later they found that they were nothing special. After they gradually stabilized their position, the difference in strength became apparent.
In a bloody fight, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, he charged against the tide and took the enemy's head.
The situation was not right, it was too tragic. Chi Rang, the Lord of Xuanzhou, was furious. He slapped the armrest and shouted, "Where is Shi Chun? Where is Shi Chun? Why didn't he come out to fight the enemy?"
Wei Mo's voice with a hint of hip-hop came out, "What are you yelling about? Shi Chun is from my hometown."
"..."Chi Rang was speechless.
They were routed, and more than a thousand men were killed and forced to flee.
About 2,900 people, nearly 3,000 in total, fled in panic, leaving behind more than a thousand bloody corpses.
Of the more than 200 elite sect disciples from Dizhou, one or two hundred were killed by this group of people, leaving only about fifty people.
It was impossible to stop them. They were too powerful. Even more than a thousand people could not stop them. They fell down as soon as they rushed forward. They would die as soon as they rushed forward. Their morale collapsed and they fled.
The fifty or so people who were frightened and angry finally stopped the chase. There was nothing they could do. There were too many people fleeing and no matter how hard they fought, they could not catch up with them. In the end, they could only watch those people escape. They were also covered in blood, almost everyone was injured, and everyone was gasping for breath.
They were all still frightened. It was the first time they encountered a group of people who were so weak, but so fearless and good at fighting. The offensive they launched together was very sharp, and many of them fell like this.
If the fight continued, they estimated that half of their men would be defeated. Fortunately, the other side collapsed first.
Young Master Nan in the stands stared at the screen, leaning on his chair and muttering, "My little ancestor, which side are you from? Are you causing trouble..."
