C15 Discerning the True and False Flame Emperor

How could this be? Why would the Flame Emperor suddenly appear when he was sitting here? I looked at Flame Emperor, who was sitting down and eating meat without any hurry.

"Bring him up here," Yellow Emperor said.

Not long later, a soldier brought in a person who looked exactly like the Flame Emperor. The only difference was that this person's clothes were tattered (clothes made of beast skins). His hair was disheveled and his face haggard. If one looked closely, one would be able to see a faint sense of majesty in his eyes that was different from the Flame Emperor in his seat. Which one was the real one?

Yellow Emperor looked at him and asked, "You said that you're the Flame Emperor, but do you have any evidence?"

Afterwards, Flame Emperor bowed respectfully before saying, "Ever since my defeat against Chi You, I have been hiding everywhere and going through great pains before escaping to Zhuo Lu to see you. I hope that the Yellow Emperor can join hands and attack Chi You together with me. "He ?" Flame Emperor pointed to Flame Emperor who was seated on his seat and continued, "He is the strategist of Chi You, He Rong. Chi You thought that I had already died, so he sent people to pretend to be me and infiltrate the inner parts of the Yellow Emperor Tribe. Everything I say is true. "

That's no good. Yellow Emperor looked at me and wanted me to come up with an idea, but I was just staring at him helplessly. There's no mention of a true and false Flame Emperor in my history.

Flame Emperor laughed out loud from his seat, "You said that I'm pretending, but how can there be two people in this world who look exactly the same? The reason I said you were the spy was to sow discord between me and the Yellow Emperor. Someone, drag this spy out and kill him. "

I immediately stopped him, "Wait, I can't kill him. How about I ask the Yellow Emperor to let me take care of him? I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. "

Yellow Emperor nodded, "Alright, I'll pass this person to the heavenly officer. I look forward to your satisfactory answer."

Flame Emperor, who was sitting on the seat, did not seem to be satisfied, "Like this, three days is the limit. As time passes, there will be some changes. Three days later, we still cannot prove who he is, so we will kill him."

When I saw him say this, I had already thought of something, so I agreed, "Alright, the time limit is three days. I hope you can forgive me this evening."

After bidding farewell to the Yellow Emperor, I brought Flame Emperor No. 2 (temporarily known as No. 2) and returned to my residence. I told Cang Jie to find him clean water and some food. Flame Emperor No. 2 didn't hold back. After washing up, he started to gobble down the food. I felt that he was very hungry, but he didn't lose his manners when he ate.

Li Shuai and Chang Bai called me mysteriously out of the door.

Li Shuai said softly, "Brother Long, Chang Bai and I had once interacted with the Flame Emperor in the Flame Emperor Tribe. Although it was a small matter, the person that we suggested to know about was the True Flame Emperor."

Once I heard it, I immediately asked him what was going on. Li Shuai looked at Chang Bai and said, "You should still be the one who knows best."

Chang Bai nodded and said, "That was when Li Shuai and I were sent to the Flame Emperor Tribe when we just left the Primordial Village. We appeared in the same place. Then we met Zhuo Lu and said that we were going to come and find you when you were in the tribe of the Yellow Emperor, but we didn't know how to get there, so we wanted to ask someone, but when they saw us, they drove us out as if we'd seen a ghost. Li Shuai and I could only sleep out in the open. Suddenly, one day, we fell down while riding on our horses past the tree where we slept, and when we came down, we saw that the person was poisoned. You know I know something about herbs, so it was easy to revive him, only to find out that he was the famous Flame Emperor. He invited us to the tribe because we were very concerned about you, so we rejected him. Luckily, he told us where the Yellow Emperor Tribe was, so we came to find us. That's what happened. I'm not sure he remembers us. "

"Do you remember where the arrow wound was?" I asked.

Li Shuai tapped his shoulder blade on Chang Bai's back and said: "It's right here, the deep wounds will definitely leave scars."

I whispered in their ears, "We'll do that when we get back ?"

When we returned to the room, Flame Emperor No. 2 had already finished his plate of food and was sitting there drinking water. Seeing us return, he smiled, but when his gaze landed on Li Shuai and Chang Bai, he paused for a moment, as though he was thinking of something, but was unable to confirm.

I said politely, "For the time being, I don't care if you are real or fake. Since I am a guest from afar, we should do what we can as guests. I see that you can no longer continue to wear this set of clothes. I have a new set here, so if you don't mind, please change into it. "

After thanking him, Flame Emperor Number Two changed into a new set of clothes. We could clearly see an arrow wound on his shoulder blades, Li Shuai, Chang Bai and I looked at each other and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, why is there an arrow wound on your back?"

Flame Emperor number two touched his wound and said, "I was ambushed one day when I was still in the tribe. After that, I invited the two Gods to my tribe because they wanted to come to the Golden Emperor Tribe. I didn't ask them to stay."

"You really are the Flame Emperor!" Li Shuai and Chang Bai said at the same time.

Flame Emperor bowed towards Li Shuai and Chang Bai, then said, "Thank you once again for saving my life, gods."

I curiously asked, "Why didn't we acknowledge each other at the banquet just now?"

The True Flame Emperor replied calmly, "I don't want to confirm my identity prematurely. If I had known then that the thief was going to harm the Yellow Emperor, I would have begged the gods to think of a foolproof plan that would protect the Yellow Emperor and help me figure out the purpose of the thief's visit."

I thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, you first rest in peace with me, then I'll go touch the Yellow Emperor's clothes." "Find out the situation."

After leaving the house, he walked towards the Yellow Emperor's residence. When he arrived at the door, he sent someone in to inform him. He raised his head to see that the moon had already climbed up the treetops, and the stars were faintly visible.

"Divine General, the Yellow Emperor's leader invites you in." The guard came out to me.

The moment I entered, I saw the Yellow Emperor and the fake Flame Emperor chatting. When they saw me enter, they stood up and bowed. I returned the greeting, then sat down and said to the Yellow Emperor, "I wonder how you were doing before the war?"

The Emperor sighed and said, "Although the heavenly officer has built a boat, it is still unable to solve the big problem. If we can board the boat, once the rations are unable to keep up or Chi You burns the boat down, we won't even have a way out."

So it was because I was worried about this. I pretended to be worried as I said, "That's right. How about we fill up the stream so that we can prepare to attack after 40 days?"

The Yellow Emperor was slightly surprised. He seemed to think that someone as smart as him could come up with such an unskilled idea. He lowered his head without saying a word.

The fake Flame Emperor seemed to be very happy. "Good, this is really a good idea. This way, we won't have to worry about anything anymore."

For the first time, the fake Flame Emperor is on my side. I chuckled to myself.

"Leader of the Yellow Emperor, we don't have much weapons either. We only have the battle prowess of a few hundred people, so we might as well send these few hundred people to the front of the battlefield to frustrate the enemies. Also, we don't have enough food, so we have to hunt properly these few days. The meat is easy to rot, so we have to ensure a sufficient supply of logistics. It's useless even before the harvest is over. Tomorrow, we'll go hunting in the wilderness and reserve more food. " I rambled on for a while. I noticed that the more I said, the uglier the Yellow Emperor's expression became. It seemed that he took my words seriously. Aiyo! His stomach hurt, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

The secret joy that flitted across the fake Flame Emperor's face didn't escape my eyes. I knew that he believed it as well. Since my goal has been achieved, it all depends on tomorrow. I said to the Yellow Emperor, "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest. I'm preparing to go hunt tomorrow. I also want to ask the Yellow Emperor to rest early."

The Yellow Emperor nodded. He stole a glance at the Yellow Emperor the moment I stepped out of the door. He was smiling at me. When I got back to my place of residence, I told everyone about the plan. Everyone thought it was good, so they all went to the meeting.

Early next morning, the Yellow Emperor sent someone to call us to hunt. I told Cang Jie, "This time, I will trouble you to take care of the Flame Emperor.

"Yes, I will use my life to protect him." Cang Jie patted his chest and said.

I smiled and led the way to the carpenter's to see if the saddle was done, and to see that not only the saddle was done, but also the furs and pedals. He went back to the blacksmith and looked at the weapons on the table. Ha, looks like the special identity of the heavenly officer is quite good. At least, they did what I told them to them seriously.

Marshal Li's weapon is a bow with twenty arrows. Chang Bai's weapon is a sickle." It seemed impossible to go to the battlefield, and digging for herbs was still a good idea. Wei Wu's was a mace, so why would he choose such an ugly weapon, with his physique and his stick still resembling a primitive man, hehe, Guo Ha's was a pair of staves, he was the admirer of Bruce Lee in real life, Meng Yu's was a crossbow, he also had twenty arrows, Luo Xiangfei was a knife he used to using his grandfather's knives, Hao Bing's was a short knife, about the same length as my own short sword.

Everyone prepared their weapons and went to the Yellow Emperor's residence. He and the fake Flame Emperor were already prepared to wait for us, so they exchanged pleasantries and got on their horses to set off.

Let me touch it. Treading on the snow, he discovered that it had become stronger. Previously, its thin ribs were like scrubbing boards. Now, it was completely invisible. Its black hair was shiny and full of energy. I said to it, "It's only been a few days and you've grown so big and beautiful."

Treadmill hissed back at me, as if he were smiling at me, while Dou Dou climbed onto the dock and gestured at me while squeaking. I was able to read most of his simple body language after spending some time with Dou Dou, but after looking at his for a long time, I finally understood. Dou Dou said that the reason why Treading the Snow was so strong was because of her. I smiled and put Dou Dou on my shoulder and said, "I want to thank you. What do you want?

Dou Dou didn't do anything but stick close to my face. I knew that it wanted me to never abandon it. She stroked his head and said, "As long as I'm alive, I won't be separated from you." When Treading Snow heard this, she turned her head and snorted at me. I quickly added, "And Treading Snow, we will never part ways." This time, Treading on the snow was more vigorous. She threw his head back and let out a shriek before sprinting forward. The other horses also seemed to be excited and caught up with him. The rest of us started to race. As expected of Treading on the Snow, I was even more sure that it was the legendary Thousand Mile Horse, because I was the first one to reach the hunting ground, while the others were far behind.

At the start of the hunt, the Yellow Emperor caught sight of a wild deer and chased after it. The fake Flame Emperor followed close behind while the others and I split up to follow. The Emperor used a rope to capture the wild deer, and just as he was tying the deer up, the fake Flame Emperor whipped him. The Yellow Emperor's treasured sword was placed on his neck as he said, "What heavenly officer? I think they are a bunch of idiots, but if it wasn't for them, I really wouldn't have such a good chance to kill you. "Haha ?"

Yellow Emperor was truly worthy of being the emperor of China. He said calmly, "Why did you kill me? Don't you want me to help you attack Chi You? "

The fake Flame Emperor laughed out loud again, "I'll tell you now, so that you'll understand better when you die. I am the advisor to the leader of Chi You, and my appearance was transformed by magic. Chiyou Chieftain already wanted to attack your tribe, so you sent me to touch it first. I have a rough idea of your situation, so I can go back and claim the reward once I kill you ? "Ah!

He Rong looked at the arrow that passed through his chest in disbelief. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood immediately turned into a bloody swallow and flew away. Li Shuai immediately pulled his bow and shot the arrow, but the arrow did not harm it at all.

He Rong laid on the ground and said with his last breath, "My soul has already flown back to the side of the leader Chi You. Tell the leader everything... Just you wait... Ten days later ? In ten days, the army of Chi You's leader would be stomped to the ground ? Flatten your... "The tribe ?"

He Rong swallowed his last breath of air and his body began to change. His face gradually turned into someone else. This was his true appearance.

When I took the Yellow Emperor's treasured sword out of He Rong's hand, I noticed it was very light. After looking at it carefully, I knew it was carved out of wood. My heart couldn't help but tremble, "This Yellow Emperor is truly not simple, I have to be careful in the future." I handed the sword to the Yellow Emperor, pretending not to notice that it had been swapped. The Yellow Emperor glanced at me and sheathed the sword.

"I wonder what heavenly officer plans to do?" The Emperor let go of the deer.

"Next, let people make a lot of salt and then marinate the meat to make jerky. That way, the military rations will be sufficient. As for the stream, I had already ordered the craftsmen to start making the materials for the pontoon bridge. It would probably be ready by tonight. This way, they would be able to set off with the other tribes to attack Chi You tomorrow. My friends and I will form a vanguard, and we will touch each other tonight. Go to Chi You's campsite and kill the Magus. When we see black smoke emerging from Chi You Tribe tomorrow afternoon, we will attack. We have to be fast. " I told the Emperor everything.

The Emperor nodded and said, "Alright, we will immediately go back and prepare."

I went back to my friends to discuss what to do for the evening, and everyone went to prepare. At this moment, the Emperor sent someone to bring the Flame Emperor away. Before he left, the Flame Emperor said to me, "I hope that we will always be friends."

I smiled but didn't say anything. It was a pity that he didn't know that it wouldn't be long before we became enemies. I touched my finger to the wooden table and said, "Be careful. If you can't, run. There is no need to die for him." Everyone laughed after reading it. Cang Jie pointed at the words that I wrote and asked, "What is this?"

"These are words. We don't need to open our mouths to let them know what I want to say." I answered offhandedly.

Cang Jie seemed to be very interested in words, he leaned on the table and started reading. When the words were almost dry, he started to draw again with water, it was truly interesting.

After lunch, I went out for a stroll. Huh? What was that? I actually saw something that I couldn't believe...
