Chapter 640 Where to Go
Chu Xiaomu, Jinglan, Xiaoying chatted with Li Qi and others until it was already quite late.
Li Xian's guards took out dry food and shared it with everyone. Li Xian asked Chu Xiaomu about his next plan.
Chu Xiaomu said, "I originally decided to go to Yutuo City after the Seven Cities Conference. Now that Jieyun Pass has been breached by the Red Soldiers, I'm afraid Jinyang City won't be able to hold out for much longer. So I decided to go back to Bicheng and ask the general what to do next."
Li Qi said, "Xiao Mu, do you really want to go back to Bicheng?"
Jinglan also said, "If Brother Xiaomu really wants to go to Yutuo City, he has to go back to Bicheng to recover from his injuries first."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "The general is well-informed and he must know how to deal with the current situation."
Li Xi looked embarrassed, sighed, and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jinglan saw that he looked strange and asked hurriedly, "Uncle Li, what's wrong?"
Li Qi said: "In my opinion, it is better for Xiaomu not to return to Bicheng for the time being."
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan asked in unison: "Why?"
Li Qi thought for a long time before saying, "After the general was injured by the golden sword and black sword, his temperament has changed drastically. Not only is he more irritable than before, but he is also much more suspicious..."
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan looked at each other, their hearts beginning to pound.
Li Qi continued, "I think his suspicion grew because of Xiao Zhenrong's betrayal. Not long after you left Bicheng, the general arrested all those who had personal connections with Xiao Zhenrong, including Quan Qingzhi, the commander of the Nanqian Camp of your Nanding Army, and An Wenyuan, the commander of the Nanzhen Camp, and even Feng Tan, the deputy commander of our Zhongjing Army, were arrested and thrown into prison, and... and..."
Chu Xiaomu asked hurriedly: "And what?"
Li Qi's breathing also became much heavier. He said, "And their Primal Chaos Qi Sea was broken by the general. He said that no one can threaten the safety of Bicheng anymore..."
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan were both shocked, thinking that if the Primal Chaos Qi Sea was broken, it would basically mean that the person would be disabled. For those who practiced martial arts, this would be even more painful than killing them. The general had indeed gone too far.
Chu Xiaomu calmed down and said, "In this case, I should go back to Bicheng to meet the general and persuade him not to falsely accuse good people, and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Li Qi sighed again and said, "If persuasion was useful, the general would never have destroyed Feng Tan and his men's sea of chaos. Xiaomu, do you know...what the general said about you?"
"What did the general say about me?"
"Alas, the general... the general even said that you raised food for Bicheng. It must be because you colluded with the people of Jinyang City. Otherwise, with your status as a Bicheng soldier, how could you get so much food? A few days later, the general even ordered the disbandment of the Nanding Army. The remaining hundreds of soldiers who were not detained were incorporated into the Xiyi, Beicheng and Wozhongjing armies. Your status as the central commander of the Nanding Army... was also gone."
Chu Xiaomu stood up suddenly and said, "General, he...how could he do this? I am wholeheartedly devoted to Bicheng, how could I collude with people from Jinyang City?!" Then he changed his mind, it was Xuanying who helped with the purchase of grain, so it could be said that he and he were "colluded".
Li Qi said, "Yang Luo and I thought the same thing. We said you would never collude with Jinyang City to betray Bicheng, but the general refused to listen. He even said that if we met you, we should arrest you and send you back to Bicheng for interrogation. Xiaomu, your strange ability is probably one of the reasons why the general suspects you."
Chu Xiaomu thought about it and it was indeed possible. Even Yan Claw, the spiritual king of the Claw Clan of the Red Sand Country, and Jin Dao Hei Jian, the number one martial artist of the Force of the Cang Mu Country, could not cope with the general's madness. However, he was able to block several of his Dragon Soul Sword moves with the Dome Stone Sword, and after working together with Jing Lan, he was able to suppress his madness. This unimaginable thing was bound to arouse suspicion.
In an instant, Chu Xiaomu seemed to have fallen into a bottomless ice cave, and his whole body was cold.
Jinglan said, "The general's temperament has changed drastically. Being betrayed by Uncle Xiao is only one of the reasons. Another reason I think is because he has activated his madness state. Madness state is one of his spiritual arts. If there is a corresponding spiritual art to restrain it, he should be able to recover."
Li Qi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I have never thought about it in this regard. However, your master Huang Tianxiang has not proposed a solution. It is very difficult to restore the general to his previous appearance..."
