Chapter 369: The Workers Are In Trouble, The Mystery of Great Wei’s soldiers (2)

Everything was going according to plan, like the calm before the storm.

Even Meng Bai and the others had an illusion. In the past, the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament had never been like this.

In the previous Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournaments, they had spent almost all three years fighting.

This Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was clearly dangerous, but they had actually spent such a peaceful period here.

If not for the sudden rescue, the peace in the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch might have lasted for another half a month!

Puu—

w.a.n.g Xin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He grabbed Meng Bai’s arm tightly, the joints on the back of his hand clearly visible.

“Great General Meng, let me see the Side-by-side King! I beg you!”

Even when w.a.n.g Xin was surrounded by the Demon Realm army with Meng Bai, he had never begged for mercy.

But now, if not for his weak body, he would have knelt down to Meng Bai.

“General w.a.n.g, it’s not that I don’t allow you to see the King of the South, but he’s in seclusion forging.”

Meng Bai supported w.a.n.g Xin and injected spiritual essence into his body.

“Tell me what happened first? Didn’t you go to find the main force of the Great Qin Army? How did you end up like this?” Meng Bai asked in confusion.

Previously, w.a.n.g Xin and Meng Bai had been surrounded by the Demon Realm army. Later, when the Demon Realm army retreated, w.a.n.g Xin also parted ways with the Great Xia army.

When they separated, w.a.n.g Xin’s cultivation had already broken through to the third rank of the Martial Dao, the Grandmaster realm.

Moreover, at the time, he had more than a thousand elite soldiers under him. The Demon Realm army’s attention was on Zhou Shu. Meng Bai thought that he would be able to find Great Qin’s main army successfully.

He hadn’t expected him to suddenly come to the camp alone and be seriously injured.

“We were ambushed by a human army. All my brothers died in battle except me!” w.a.n.g Xin’s eyes were red and swollen, and two streams of blood tears flowed down.

He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “Our Great Qin soldiers can die in the hands of demonic beasts, but we shouldn’t die under the blades of traitors! We shouldn’t! They are all great men!”

“Traitors?” Meng Bai frowned. “Who attacked you?”

“Great Wei soldiers!” w.a.n.g Xin gritted his teeth.

“Great Wei?” Meng Bai’s frown deepened. “That’s impossible! Someone saw with their own eyes that the Great Wei army was completely wiped out!”

“I’m certain!” w.a.n.g Xin said. “Even if they turn to ashes, I’ll recognize them!

“I thought that in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, all the grudges in the outside world could be temporarily put aside. Unfortunately, I was too naive and trusted those Great Wei soldiers wrongly!”

w.a.n.g Xin raised his hand and slapped himself twice. “I deserve to die!”

Meng Bai stopped w.a.n.g Xin from hurting himself and said solemnly, “There’s something fishy about this!

“Someone saw that the Great Wei army was completely wiped out, but you encountered the Great Wei soldiers…”

Meng Bai pondered. “General w.a.n.g, how many Great Wei soldiers did you encounter?”

The armies of the various nations in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament had been scattered by the Demon Realm army. In theory, it wasn’t impossible for a remnant Great Wei army to survive.

But it was just a small possibility.

Meng Bai didn’t have enough information to determine what had gone wrong.

“Two thousand!” w.a.n.g Xin said. “I had a thousand elite soldiers under me. Their numbers were exactly twice mine.”

Great Qin’s elite soldiers were unparalleled.

It was also because w.a.n.g Xin was confident that his people would have no problem fighting one to two that he didn’t take the Great Wei soldiers seriously.

He didn’t expect that when they encountered a Demon Realm army, the Great Wei soldiers actually launched a sneak attack from behind while they were fighting hard to kill the demonic beasts, causing his people to die.

If not for the fact that w.a.n.g Xin’s cultivation had already broken through to the third rank of the Martial Dao, he would probably have died there.

“Two thousand Great Wei soldiers…” Meng Bai pondered for a moment before suddenly raising his head and saying in a deep voice, “Ziwen, call Sun Gongping over!”

“Yes.” Mi Ziwen hurried away.

A moment later, he returned.

“Teacher, Sun Gongping isn’t in the camp. Two days ago, he went out to kill demons and hasn’t returned yet.”

Mi Ziwen looked uncomfortable. He whispered, “Teacher, is it possible that…”

Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be such a possibility, but Mi Ziwen was now suspicious.

Meng Bai shook his head and said nothing.

“General w.a.n.g, take a rest for now. You’re seriously injured. Don’t get too agitated,” Meng Bai said to w.a.n.g Xin. “I’m going to see the King of the South now. I’ll tell him in detail!”

w.a.n.g Xin still wanted to say something, but Meng Bai exerted force with both hands and pressed him back down. Then with a squeeze of his fingers, w.a.n.g Xin fell unconscious.

“Have someone keep an eye on him. Ziwen, get s.h.i.+ Songtao and come along!” Meng Bai’s expression was solemn.

Mi Ziwen got someone to take care of w.a.n.g Xin and walked with Meng Bai toward the forging room where Zhou Shu was in seclusion.

They had just arrived outside the forging room when the door creaked open, and Zhou Shu walked out.

“How did you know I was coming out of seclusion?” Zhou Shu was surprised to see Meng Bai and the other two.

“Second Brother, we have something important to discuss with you.” Mi Ziwen said.

“What is it?” Zhou Shu leaned the Great Destroyer Sword against the ground and placed his hands on the hilt.

s.h.i.+ Songtao also looked at Mi Ziwen and Meng Bai in confusion.

He had been summoned by Mi Ziwen in a hurry and still didn’t know what was going on.

“King of the South, do you remember when I told you that Great Wei and Great Chen had been completely wiped out?” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.

“I remember,” Zhou Shu said. “Another nation was wiped out?”

“No.” Meng Bai shook his head. “Just now, Great Qin’s w.a.n.g Xin arrived with serious injuries. A thousand of the Great Qin’s elite soldiers under him died in battle.”

“Is w.a.n.g Xin still alive?” Zhou Shu’s expression tightened. w.a.n.g Xin was the most powerful worker under him. It would be a pity if he died.

“He’s still alive, but badly injured,” Meng Bai said.

“As long as he’s alive.” Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief. “Did they encounter the Demon Realm army?”

Zhou Shu could tell that something was wrong with Meng Bai and Mi Ziwen. War had been ongoing in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. It was very common for people to die in battle.

He didn’t understand why Meng Bai and Mi Ziwen had come to tell him this.

“It’s related to the Demon Realm army, but the reason why w.a.n.g Xin’s soldiers died was because they were ambushed by Great Wei’s soldiers!” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.

“Great Wei’s soldiers? The Great Wei army?” Zhou Shu was stunned. He finally understood why Meng Bai had asked him if he remembered that Great Wei had been completely wiped out.

“General, are you saying that Great Wei was not completely wiped out but that they brazenly became traitors?” Zhou Shu said curiously.

“It’s hard to say if they did so brazenly. w.a.n.g Xin was able to escape alive because he had broken through recently. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot. Then, no one would know that Great Wei’s soldiers ambushed them.” Meng Bai shook his head.

“I’m wondering now if the Great Wei soldiers who ambushed w.a.n.g Xin and the others are the remaining Great Wei army, or if the news of the Great Wei army being completely wiped out is fake!”

“Fake? How is that possible? Didn’t Sun Gongping bring this news back?” As soon as Zhou Shu said this, he realized that something was wrong.

“Great General, do you suspect Sun Gongping?

“That’s impossible!” Zhou Shu said firmly.

He had known Sun Gongping for a long time. It was absolutely impossible for Sun Gongping to be on the Demon Realm’s side, let alone cooperate with Great Wei!

“I don’t think that’s possible either,” Meng Bai said grimly. “I hope I’m wrong.

“Deputy Pavilion Master s.h.i.+, Sun Gongping went out to kill demons two days ago. Did he get any weapons from you?”

s.h.i.+ Songtao was the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion and also the steward of this camp. He was in charge of all the military supplies.

“Young Marquis Sun?” s.h.i.+ Songtao realized the seriousness of the problem. He thought for a moment and said, “Before leaving the camp, he took away two Cosmic Bangles, a number of standard weapons, and a Dark Cloud Armor set. Oh right, there’s also the secret medicinal pill that Her Highness gave him!”
