Chapter 29: Cai Jing and Western Xia
At this moment.
In Kaifeng City.
The Cai Residence.
Cai Jing was reading a book.
Suddenly!
Suddenly!
A man in black appeared before him, seemingly out of nowhere: “Reporting to Your Excellency, Marquis of Chang Le Peng Feng, as you predicted, has indeed left the city with weapons and riding a horse. Judging by the direction, he is heading towards Western Xia.”
“Oh, is that so? Marquis of Chang Le Peng Feng, he really is young and vigorous, after all, he is still young.” Cai Jing smiled slightly: “Then, pass the news of Marquis of Chang Le leaving Kaifeng Prefecture to support Zhenwu City to Western Xia.”
“Yes.” Although the man in black had some doubts, he was not one to be talkative. He would do whatever His Excellency instructed.
With a whoosh.
The man in black disappeared.
And Cai Jing put down his book.
That’s right!
He wanted Peng Feng dead!
Because if Peng Feng lived, it would affect Cai Jing’s power and influence.
The imperial court has always had three factions.
Among them, the most powerful faction is naturally that of Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji, with the State Preceptor Lin Lingsu as a staunch royalist, counting as part of this faction, possessing two Land Immortals.
The second faction is that of the Six Traitors. This faction has the Land Immortal Tong Guan, as well as Cai Jing, who was second on the Earth List, and other experts on the Earth List.
At the same time, Cai Jing was shrewd. Therefore, this faction had considerable power, overwhelming the third faction.
And the third faction was the military faction led by Zhong Shidao, who was also a Land Immortal.
However, Zhong Shidao’s political maneuvering was far inferior to Cai Jing’s, so he had always been suppressed by Cai Jing and Tong Guan’s faction.
And Peng Feng is currently first on the Earth List!
In the next ten years or so, he is very likely to reach the Land Immortal Realm!
And Peng Feng has always been on good terms with Zhong Shidao.
In that case.
In the next ten years or so, Zhong Shidao’s faction is very likely to have two Land Immortals.
At that time, Zhong Shidao’s faction would overwhelm Cai Jing and Tong Guan’s faction.
Therefore!
Cai Jing had to strike first.
First, get rid of Peng Feng.
In this way.
Their faction can forever suppress Zhong Shidao’s faction.
But it is not easy to kill Peng Feng.
This time, Peng Feng wanted to go support Zhong Shidao’s army in Zhenwu City.
Cai Jing could naturally use a borrowed knife to kill, deliberately leaking the information to Western Xia, letting the people of Western Xia kill Peng Feng.
Cai Jing carefully thought about this plan and smiled with satisfaction.
Peng Feng, for the sake of power, please die.
◈◈◈
Three days later.
Western Xia.
The Emperor of Western Xia, Li Ganshun, and his top general, Yeli Tongtian.
◈◈◈
These two Land Immortals were leading an army of 300,000 to attack Zhenwu City.
Emperor Li Ganshun of Western Xia was fair-skinned and beardless, not too old, only around forty years old.
His method of becoming a Land Immortal was similar to Zhao Ji’s, both were forcibly infused with the dragon qi of a country.
Of course, only a large country has enough dragon qi.
The dragon qi of a country like Dali is far from enough.
The amount of dragon qi in Western Xia is actually not enough, so the Land Immortal created is not of a very high level.
And Yeli Tongtian, who was beside him, was much older, over eighty years old. Of course, Land Immortals can live to be one hundred and fifty years old, so eighty years old is still in their prime.
Li Ganshun put his hands behind his back: “Now, Zhong Shidao has set up the Earthly Fiend Wolf Smoke Great Formation in Zhenwu City. With the aid of this Earthly Fiend Wolf Smoke Great Formation, he is fighting against two of us alone.
However, he won’t be able to hold on for many days.
Within half a month, we can break the Earthly Fiend Wolf Smoke Great Formation and capture Zhenwu City, severely damaging Zhong Shidao.”
Yeli Tongtian said thoughtfully: “It would be great if we could kill Zhong Shidao.”
Li Ganshun laughed: “This time, we have a great chance of killing Zhong Shidao. If we kill Zhong Shidao, we can take the opportunity to capture Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. At that time, the territory of Western Xia will increase a lot.”
At this moment.
A man in black, using extremely fast light skill: “Reporting Your Majesty, there is important news to report.”
“Oh, speak.”
“A person from Cai Jing’s side in the Song Dynasty has sent a special message.
It says that Peng Feng, who is first on the Song Dynasty’s Earth List, has left Kaifeng City, and it seems that he is heading towards Zhenwu City.” The man in black said in a deep voice.
Li Ganshun was startled: “Are you talking about Peng Feng, who was the strongest in the Song-Liao Hidden Dragon List competition ten years ago, and who recently rose to first place on the Song Dynasty’s Earth List?”
“Yes.” The man in black nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Ganshun couldn’t help but laugh: “Unexpectedly, Peng Feng actually took the initiative to come out of Kaifeng City. Young people are just young people, too impulsive. As soon as they see the border war is urgent, they rush up.
And what’s even better is that Cai Jing is displeased with Peng Feng and has told us the information about Peng Feng’s departure, even the route he is taking.
Cai Jing wants to use our hands to kill Peng Feng.
We also have a chance to eliminate Peng Feng.
It can be said that in this way, Cai Jing and we both benefit, a win-win situation.”
“This Peng Feng, who is only twenty-seven years old, has already reached the top of the Song Dynasty’s Earth List. He must not be allowed to live, otherwise he will surely become a disaster. This is a good opportunity to kill him.”
Emperor Li Ganshun of Western Xia pondered: “However, you and I are now working together to break Zhong Shidao’s Earthly Fiend Wolf Smoke Great Formation. This is a great opportunity to fight Zhong Shidao. We must not leave. We can only let our subordinates deal with Peng Feng.”
“Alright, order Yaohong and Canlu to take action.”
“These two are ranked first and second on our Western Xia’s Earth List. One is a half-step Land Immortal, and the other also has extremely terrifying combat power.
If they take action, Peng Feng is dead for sure.”
“Yes.” Someone immediately went to give the order.
And the two extremely terrifying figures that made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty so afraid.
Yaohong!
Canlu!
Are about to take action.
