Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 292 Soul Yuanzi

Moti sat at the head of the large tent of the garrison at Cold Winter Lake. He looked very happy, and the wine was slightly rippling in the copper cup in his hand, just like his mood, which had already drifted to the sky.

After drinking the longevity wine in the copper cup, there was a trace of enthusiasm overflowing in Moti's eyes.

Just today, when Tie Yuan led 12 people into the cold winter lake, Moti reported the matter to the royal court, and the words of the audience can be described as hidden murderous intentions.

"Tie Yuan gathered outsiders and formed a small team privately, ignoring the king's law and military discipline, in an attempt to monopolize the mysterious things of Cold Winter Lake."

Moti naturally knew that the relationship between Tie Yuan and the Northern King was irreversible, but he still submitted the memorial. Although the Northern King most likely did not believe the words of the audience, he was suspicious by nature, and he would have a grudge.

This naturally alienated the relationship between King Bei and Tie Yuan.

But what Moti wants is far more than that. He wants to get rid of Tie Yuan and completely smash this stumbling block.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and he even felt almost crazy.

Originally, it was just to alienate the relationship between Northern King and Tie Yuan. Moti might be in a good mood, but he would never be so excited. What he didn't expect was that half a day later, a reply came from the royal court.

"If it proves that Tie Yuan has something wrong in his heart, General Mo Ti can kill him first and act later."

This is the decree of the Northern King. When Moti just received the decree, he couldn't believe it, but soon he figured out the Northern King's intention.

Like him, the Northern King also regarded Tie Yuan as a thorn in his side, but because of his face, and perhaps thinking about his past friendship, he has been reluctant to do anything.

"My lord, I really can't understand you more and more, but I really like this move of yours. Although I'm your executioner, it doesn't matter."

Moti murmured to himself while drinking wine, and the madness in his words was almost to the extreme.

"Tie Yuan, don't blame me..."

The stern voice echoed in the large tent of the Chinese army, and the cold killing intent gradually permeated.

General Pi, dressed in iron armor and carrying an epee at his waist, walked in. Years of experience in the bloody battlefield immediately made him aware of a trace of strangeness in the big tent.

General Pi's expression changed slightly immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and walked over as usual.

"Meet the general."

Moti glanced at him casually and said, "How about the things I arranged for you?"

General Pi said solemnly, "General, the garrison on the west side of the lake has been assembled. As soon as Tie Yuan comes ashore, he can be captured."

Mo Ti raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Well done."

General Pi was silent for a moment, then said: "General, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Moti waved his hand and said, "I am happy today, so just say what you have to say."

A look of worry appeared in General Pi's eyes, and he said, "Tie Yuan's cultivation level is so unpredictable, it may be difficult to capture him with these garrisons."

"Ha ha!"

Moti laughed loudly, and then his eyes turned cold, and he said: "You don't know him well, if you really want to catch him, the tens of thousands of garrisons in the entire Cold Winter Lake will do nothing to him, but you forget this."

As he spoke, he picked up the cloth roll in his hand, which was the decree of the Northern King.

Moti stared at the scroll in his hand, his eyes seemed to breathe fire, and said: "The decree is very clear, as long as any evidence of Tie Yuan's ambiguity is found, he can have the right to kill first and then act later. He is good at everything, but too much." Pedantic, the king's fate is higher than the sky."

"Do you think he would disobey the order if he saw it?"

Moti's fingers tapped the scroll lightly, and the sound was very rhythmic.

Hearing this, General Pi nodded slightly, but his body gradually cooled down.

……

……

Three figures broke through the water surface of Lindong Lake, looking from a distance, there was still about a thousand feet away from the lake to the west, and they could vaguely see the garrisoned army.

Tie Yuan can walk in the air, while Tang Ge and Long San float quietly by relying on the water surface.

Wherever he looked, Tie Yuan noticed the strangeness of the army on the west bank, and his expression was slightly solemn.

But soon, he returned to normal, looked at Tang Ge and said, "Are you going to come with me, or find a place to wait first?"

Tang Ge glanced at the lake in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "I'll be waiting for you in Qinghai City."

After all, he took Long San and galloped towards the farther south of the lake. Now that they were leaving Cold Winter Lake, they were naturally no longer afraid of causing riots.

Tie Yuan watched the two walk away on the water, his eyes turned to the west bank, his expression gradually sank, he stayed on the lake for a while, then headed towards the west bank.

As he got closer to the west bank, he felt more and more an extremely cold murderous air rushing towards him.

Sure enough, the moment he landed by the lake, he was firmly surrounded by the army. Countless spears shone coldly, but there was a sense of fear in the eyes of the group of soldiers.

The name of that young general back then, even today, is still an insurmountable mountain in everyone's mind.

"What are you going to do?"

Tie Yuan looked at the soldiers who surrounded him calmly, and a strong breath slowly permeated.

"General Tie, General Moti has ordered that as soon as you see you, you will be detained immediately, and we are only following orders."

A general hesitated for a long time before he dared to speak out.

Tie Yuan said indifferently: "Who gave him the rights? Why should he be detained by me?"

"General Tie, do you want to disobey the king's decree?"

Just as Tie Yuan's voice fell, a passage slowly separated in the team, and Moti walked over slowly with a scroll in his hand, with a playful smile on his face.

Tie Yuan didn't look at Moti, his gaze was fixed on the yellow cloth scroll in Moti's hand when he appeared.

Moti pushed the scroll in front of Tie Yuan, and said, "You can see for yourself."

When the scroll was unfolded, Tie Yuan could tell the authenticity at a glance, the king's seal was bright red and dazzling.

Every word on the decree was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Moti stared at Tie Yuan, and jokingly said with a smile: "How about it, is there still a fake now?"

Tie Yuan said: "I want to see the king."

"Don't worry, we'll see you tomorrow."

Moti's dark eyes were fierce, and he waved his hand casually, and the soldiers behind him rushed up and detained Tie Yuan.

Looking at Tie Yuan who was detained by the soldiers, the back of that tall and majestic man is now a prisoner.

Thinking of this, Moti laughed unconsciously, and there was a murderous intent in his smile.

"Tie Yuan, don't worry, I won't let you meet the king alive."

……

……

The sky was getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun was like a stream of fire descending from the nine heavens, scorching the vast land, and the snowfield farther away was dyed red, but filled with chill.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Mo Ti retreated from everyone, leaving only the most trusted lieutenant general. Although the rank of the lieutenant general is not high, he has been the person closest to Mo Ti for many years and knows many of his secrets.

"General, tomorrow the King will visit Cold Winter Lake in person, how should we deal with Tie Yuan?"

For so many years, General Pi has been standing under Mo Ti like this, and his respectful expression has never changed.

Moti glanced at him, poured a glass of longevity wine, and said, "Tuoba, you used to only obey orders, and this is the first time you've taken the initiative to ask."

General Pi named Tuoba immediately said: "This subordinate speaks too much, the general forgives me."

Moti said meaningfully: "You have followed me for many years and have always been a small general. Have you ever blamed me?"

Tuoba said solemnly: "The general treats his subordinates with as much kindness as a mountain. The subordinates do not seek glory and wealth, but only want to share the general's worries."

Mo Ti smiled heartily, and said: "It's time for this matter, I get rid of the serious troubles in my heart, and you can enjoy the glory and wealth with me."

Tuoba said, "Thank you, General."

Moti said: "Don't be so cautious, let's deal with that disaster first."

Tuoba's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Tie Yuan's cultivation is extremely deep, it's very difficult to kill him."

Moti didn't seem worried at all, with a faint smile in his eyes all the time, he said: "Since he has advanced skills, then find someone who is even more advanced than him to deal with him."

Tuoba hesitated, looked at Mo and asked, "The general already has a solution?"

Mo Ti looked outside the tent, the breeze blew through the curtain, and he could faintly see the faint light coming in, and said, "Help will be here soon."

A chill came from outside the tent, and Tuoba couldn't help but shudder.

……

……

A hundred feet behind the large tent of the Chinese army, there is a very small and inconspicuous military tent. Because the surrounding tents are extremely tall, blocking the sunlight, even though it is dusk, this small military tent is already extremely dark.

The guards were extremely strict, because Tie Yuan was imprisoned inside, although these guards did not pose any threat to him, maybe they were just for show, but Tie Yuan had no desire to escape at all.

He still has a question deep in his heart, and he needs to ask Bei Wang personally tomorrow.

Although it was called a detention, Tie Yuan once held a high position and was a popular person around King Bei, so he was just under house arrest.

In the dark military tent, only a candle was lit, illuminating the square inch of the world in front of Tie Yuan's eyes. The Wang Ting detained him on unwarranted charges, but he didn't feel restless at all. Next, flipping through an ancient book.

Tie Yuan liked this book very much. The worn marks on the book were the result of his frequent reading over the years. His eyes fell on the ancient book, and a bright light appeared in his pupils.

The dim light of the lamp reflected his figure, and a shadow appeared on the ledger behind him. Although he was tall, he looked lonely.

When it gets dark, the space becomes extremely quiet, so much so that when that weird short figure appeared out of thin air in the military tent, it brought with it a breeze.

His shadow fell on the tent, thin and narrow, in stark contrast to Tie Yuan's shadow.

The skinny figure's body was covered with green light spots, making him look very illusory. He was holding a scepter in his hand, with green crystals embedded in the top of the scepter, emitting a strange green light.

"who are you?"

Tie Yuan got up slowly, and calmly looked at the figure approaching him. His steps were very light, and he seemed to be floating.

The short figure moved forward, and the countless green light spots on the surface of the body quickly gathered and rushed towards the green crystal on the top of the scepter.

At this time, he finally showed his true appearance.

The short figure was wrapped in withered yellow robes, and the robes were covered with complex patterns, like strange runes.

He lowered his head, and under the cover of his loose robe, he couldn't see his face clearly. A pair of eyes shone with a faint green light, which was especially strange in the dim military tent.

"Soul Hidden Technique, are you the Soul Yuanzi?"

Tie Yuan's complexion gradually became solemn, and when he saw the green crystal on the top of the scepter, and then looked at this person, he guessed his identity.

The short figure said, "The general has good eyesight."

His voice was hoarse and weak, and he spoke at a full rate, but there was a chill in it.

Tie Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "It is rumored that Hun Yuanzi has been hiding in Wangxue Valley, why did he come here suddenly?"

"Return the favor and kill someone." Hun Yuanzi raised his head slightly and said, but he still couldn't see his face clearly.
Tiemu said, "Kill me?"

"The general is so smart."

As Hun Yuanzi's voice fell, a dark wind suddenly blew up in the military tent, the candles flickered, Hun Yuanzi's figure became unreal again, and the green glow above the scepter roared out strangely.
