C1680 Unlucky draw
Before the crowd could react, Yang Qing suddenly continued: "How about this, this time I won't call the roll, everyone will draw lots to decide, whoever is unlucky will go to the Ghost Market to guard this mine, relying on luck to decide the outcome, no one can say anything, what about it?"
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
… ….
The group of people hurriedly agreed and looked at the people around them. They were all silently praying that they wouldn't be struck.
On the other hand, Chen Xiao frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yang Qing waved his hand and took out a meter-long steel box, placing it in front of everyone.
He then took out a pen and paper, and wrote the names of the six Lieutenant s on each of the six pieces of paper.
"This iron chest was specially crafted, it has a large isolation array, and even the soul of a Divine Soul Realm practitioner can be isolated for a short period of time. Next, I will directly pull out a piece of paper from inside.
Hearing Yang Qing say this, the group of people subconsciously sent out their spiritual will to check the metal box and found that they were indeed unable to see through it.
On the other hand, Chen Xiao realized that it was still possible for him to penetrate further in, and it could even be very fast, but in order to not alarm others, Chen Xiao gave up on this idea, and stood quietly by the side, waiting.
Noticing that no one said anything, Yang Qing directly said, "Since no one objects, then I will begin!"
After saying this, he suddenly raised his hand and released some Fa Li toward the iron chest.
In the next moment, the Fa Li poured into the metal box and began to stir rapidly. The sound of wind suddenly spread out from the metal box.
The wind continued to blow, and then everyone heard the sound of paper rustling. It was clear that those notes had been blown about by the wind.
Everyone's gaze fell on the iron box's entrance. They were all staring at it, hoping to find out who the person's name was.
Just like this, after encouraging for almost 10 breaths' time, a rolled up slip of paper was suddenly blown out by the strong wind, directly spurting towards the sky, and was caught by Yang Qing who was already prepared.
In the next moment, the sound of wind in the metal box suddenly stopped, and everyone subconsciously went up to see who this unlucky bastard was.
Yang Qing straightforwardly opened the paper in front of everyone.
The next moment!
"Chen Xiao —!"
"It's Chen Xiao!"
"It's actually Chen Xiao?"
The group of people were all surprised, even Yang Qing was startled when he heard the name, and immediately took it back to look, discovering that there was indeed the word 'Chen Xiao' written on it.
This time, Yang Qing's face was a little interesting.
It was a good thing that he was, after all, a great general in charge of an army of a million people, and he had even instantly recovered his composure. His gaze landed on the few people by his side, and said snappily: "Disperse, we have confirmed, it's all Chen Xiao! Chen Xiao, take a look! "
"Alright!" Chen Xiao smiled as he received the paper. Looking at it, it was indeed his name, he kept the paper, and asked: "When does the army leave?"
The group of people were stunned for a moment. Luckily, Yang Qing was not an ordinary person, and quickly reacted, and said: "The faster the better, but the higher ups also gave you time, and allowed you to arrive at the Shadow Mountain Ghost Market within half a month, but remember this, it is impossible for the army to directly board the teleportation formation, otherwise it would attract others' attention!"
"Got it!" Chen Xiao nodded, he looked around, seeing that there were no other orders, he cupped his hands and said: "If the Great General does not have any other orders, I will return first to prepare!"
"Mm, you should go back first. You must pay attention to your safety on this trip. If you don't have any other choice, don't rashly make a move against those people!" Yang Qing explained.
"Yes!" This lowly general will remember that! " Chen Xiao nodded, turned and left with big strides.
The moment Chen Xiao left, before he had gone too far, the sound of discussions could be heard from behind him. The discussions were naturally about Chen Xiao's situation.
Yang Qing heard a few words, and frowned: "Okay, you can disperse now, there will be a new mission for you guys, now I have to report to the King!"
After tossing out these words, Yang Qing strode out, leaving behind two other deputy generals who stared at the crowd before waving their hands to disperse the rest of the crowd.
On the other side, Yang Qing had already arrived at Duan Wang's tent, and told him in detail about Chen Xiao's selection, and being sent to the Shadow Mountain Ghost Market.
There was no choice but to say that others might not know about it, but Yang Qing had already received orders from Duan Wang. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have been able to assign such an especially dangerous mission to that group of people from Chen Xiao, and in the end, it had only been a little more than a month, yet he had already dispatched Chen Xiao to carry out such a dangerous mission. He had to give an explanation to the Duke, because the Duke would have to give the Sky Emperor an explanation as well.
I'm sending troops to you, but you sent people to kill them. What do you mean by that? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement? Is it because you, Duan Wang, want to rebel?
However, that was a decision made through drawing lots, he couldn't just directly eliminate Chen Xiao or draw another lot, what would the brothers below think of him, a general?
Sure enough, upon hearing this news, Duan Wang couldn't help but frown, but he didn't say much. He only said that he already knew about it, and then dismissed Yang Qing.
As for how he had guessed it, no one knew.
On the other side!
After Chen Xiao left, he directly returned to his own tent, and immediately ordered Ma Chao and Jiang Quan to gather all the commanders.
The fifteen great commanders, including the two vice Lieutenant s, revealed joy on their faces when they learned that they were about to head to the Ghost Market of the Yin Mountain.
This was because under normal circumstances, this kind of guard duty was the most harmless. Furthermore, it was extremely oily, so they were naturally very willing.
Seeing the joy on their faces, Chen Xiao did not say what Yang Qing had said.
After all, that was Yang Qing's guess, and no one could say for sure whether the Heavenly Kings would send troops to ambush them.
But there was one thing for sure, and that was that they must not leak it out in advance, or else it would be suicide. If the three families were prepared in advance, perhaps they would be annihilated before they could even stand firm.
Therefore, among the instructions given to these people, Chen Xiao had a very important order: "This matter is currently classified as confidential, you guys just need to tell the army that it's about to depart and go to a new location to guard, as for where to go and what to do, no one is allowed to leak any information, other than that, from now on, activate the first level security mode, no one is allowed to use the star bell to send messages.
"Yes sir!"
The group of people agreed loudly. Although they did not know why this was happening, they did not have the right to question the soldiers' duty of obeying orders!
