In the next two days, Yao Ruoyu stayed in the Xu family's Earth Demon Tongyuan Hall and started to modify the spiritual array in the hall, especially eliminating the Earth Demon Yin power. It was even more complicated and heavy. If he was not careful, he would not only be invaded by this Yin power, but also dispersed the Earth Demon Yin power into the mansion, causing disaster to the city, so he could not help but be careful.

During the period when Yao Ruoyu was devoted to modifying the spiritual formation, Xu Xuanrong had already recruited a total of 600 soldiers from the two cities of Hezhou City and Diaoyu City, all of which were of the second level. In addition, the weapons and armor left by the defenders before had barely gained the momentum of the army.

After summoning the army, under the arrangement of Xu Xuanrong, Yang Renjie and the 300 defenders led by Fu Feng, plus the Luo family and Bai family, the three parties joined forces and raided the Wildfire Branch in the west of the city with lightning speed. Except for more than ten people who escaped from the city, the others were either killed or captured and completely defeated by the three parties.

Wanyan Ye was naturally furious when he heard about this. However, when he led the army to the outside of Hezhou City with great might, he saw that the city was filled with light of bows and arrows, and several broken city crossbows were placed at high places, aiming at him from afar. Even Bai Junru and a group of spiritual masters from Baihe Academy were standing on the top of the city, staring at him.

When Wanyan Ye fought with Yao Ruoyu that day, although he was frightened and fled, the injuries left by Yao Ruoyu's sword did not recover so quickly, especially the sword intent surrounding the sword light, which remained on his wound and never dissipated.

So when Wanyan Ye, who had not recovered from his injuries, saw the city's strict garrison and Bai Junru was also among them, he immediately felt relieved. After making a few harsh words, he left with a dirt-like face.

Seeing Wanyan Ye leave, the city naturally cheers. After all, compared with the Black Wolf Cavalry, Taoyuan Gang and other forces, the group of golden dogs, the Wild Fire Thieves, are the most hated forces of the city lords, so when they see these golden dogs leave in a mess, everyone is naturally extremely excited.

However, compared to the joy of others, Xu Xuanrong did not react much. He just gave a few words to Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, and then took the people back to Diaoyu City.

And that night, just when most people were asleep, the wildfire thieves suddenly attacked. As a result, after chopping down the defenders on the city, they found that these defenders were all scattered with straw dummies. Then Yang Renjie and Fu Feng led the defenders to ambush out of the darkness, first disrupting the formation of the wildfire thieves with rockets, and then leading the crowd to cover up and defeat him.

Unwilling to fail, Wanyan Ye simply took his people around the city and planned to kill the city through the water through the dock. After all, they occupied the west of the city for many years, and compared with the unfamiliar east of the city, the west of the city is the most suitable place for them to fight.

However, Xu Xuanrong, who guessed the movements of wildfire thieves in advance, had already arranged an ambush at the dock. Before the wildfire thieves could get ashore, the magic circle arranged by Baihe Academy directly summoned endless clouds and fog and killed all the bandits in the river.

After a plan failed, Wanyan Ye came up with another plan and sent someone to sneak into the city to contact the remaining people of the Xu family, intending to contact them to cooperate inside and outside to help the wildfire thieves capture Hezhou City.

However, Xu Xuanrong had already shocked the Xu family's remnants through the victory of the previous two battles. In addition, Yao Ruoyu killed three Xu family members in one sword that day, and the remaining people of the Xu family had already surrendered to Xu Xuanrong, so when the wildfire thieves left, they immediately notified Xu Xuanrong.

That night, the Wild Fire Thieves came outside the city gate as agreed, and saw that the Xu family members really found an opportunity to help them open the city gate. In delight, the Wild Fire Thieves rushed in and hit the siege arranged by Chen Meng and others. Ten thousand arrows were flying, and only Wanyan Ye and a few Wild Fire Thieves escaped from the city, and most of the thieves died under the arrow rain.

At this point, the wildfire thieves lost all their elites in three battles. Except for a few people like Wanyan Ye, they all died or surrendered. The wildfire thieves who were also dominating the territory of Hezhou a few days ago have become a passing cloud in a blink of an eye.

*—*—*—*—*

"What? Yang Yiming died? The wildfire thieves were destroyed? The Xu family in Hezhou was killed by the Yao brothers with one sword. Luo Jia surrendered and the Bai family retreated? Wouldn't it mean that the Hezhou city at this moment has all belonged to Brother Yao?"

Looking at Cao Yuying, who was also in a complicated expression in front of him, Xu Jingmiao rarely showed a look of horror. After a long time, he slowly suppressed the storm in his heart and murmured: "I didn't expect that, really, I didn't expect that... Although I saw that Brother Yao was a hero, I did not expect that he had such a way. In just a few days, the situation in Hezhou changed so much..."

Cao Yuying looked serious and bowed: "Hezhou is only half a day away from Chongqing. These things have been around for several days. Yuying only received information today. This is my dereliction of duty. Later, I wrote a letter to admit my mistake. It was just that Yang Yiming, the governor of Hezhou City, was the adopted son of Prime Minister Qin. I heard that Qin Xiang loved him. Although his death had nothing to do with Yao Ruoyu and others, since they occupied the position of the lord of Hezhou City, I am afraid that Qin Xiang would not give up."

Seeing the girl's face as if it was a big event, Xu Jingmiao smiled unconsciously, stood up and helped her up, and chuckled: "Yuying, why do you need this? I'm afraid there is something wrong with Hezhou, so I can't blame you."

"What do you mean?" Cao Yuying was stunned when she heard this and said in confusion.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Jingmiao said calmly: "You said that Hezhou City is so close to Chongqing, and the news is extremely fast. Even if there are problems on the road, it will be delayed for one or two days at most. For example, if the wildfire thieves are destroyed, it may be barely understandable that they will be sent back until late today. However, if Yang Yiming dies, the White Wolf Society, the wildfire thieves and Taoyuan Gang join forces to siege the city, it has been nearly seven days. Why is it reported today?

After all, he is the first chief clerk in Chongqing, in charge of the documents and files, so Cao Yuying quickly realized it and frowned and said, "Sir, someone deliberately obstructs the information from being transmitted to me? But in Chongqing today, who can have such means and ability? Let me..."

With a smile, Xu Jingmiao stopped Cao Yuying's words and said calmly: "Since that person is involved in it, this matter must be related to him. Since that is the case, you and I will patiently watch the development of the matter. When the time comes, we will naturally know the reason."

*—*—*—*—*

"stupid!"

With a dull bang, Chu Zheng punched the book in front of him with a fierce punch, and said angrily again: "It's so stupid!"

Among the Chu family's sons, Chu Xuan is steady, Chu Yuan is heroic, Chu Hao is rebellious, Chu Dun is generous, Chu Zheng is kind, and the five sons have different personalities. However, in comparison, Chu Zheng, as a strategist, is actually the most unsuitable for the battlefield because his temperament is too kind.

But at this moment, a sharp evil aura emanated from the rising star of the Chu family that people dare not look directly at. Even Chu Yuan, who is the most murderous Chu Yuan, couldn't help but frown secretly.

"Tsk tsk, Lao Wu is so angry this time. He looks really angry!" Chu Yuan leaned against Chu Xuan, laughed and said in a low voice.

"Well, it's extremely rare, but..." Retracting his gaze to Chu Yuan, Chu Xuan said lightly, "As brother, you are so embarrassed to gloat. You really have never seen someone like you."

"Isn't this just seeing you?" Chu Yuan didn't care about Chu Xuan's contempt, but instead laughed.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Dun shook his head with a hilarious look, picked up the information in his hand and looked at it a few more times, sighing: "I didn't expect that this group of people have such courage, and even dared to seize the position of Qin Xiang's subordinates."

With a sneer, Chu Hao said lightly: "They are very brave, what are they afraid to do?"

After glanced at Chu Hao, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shook his head secretly and said in a deep voice: "This incident happened suddenly, but it was extremely fast. I'm afraid that the spies from all major forces in Chongqing's prefecture have received the news. I can't hide this matter anymore. I don't know what my father would be, and the Prime Minister Qin..."

When Chu Zheng, who was ruthless, heard what his brothers said, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my father will know it a long time ago."

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Chu Yuan said curiously: "Lao Wu, what does this mean? How could my father have known about these things for a long time?"

"In today's world, how many people can be there to blockade Hezhou City in Chongqing and make it impossible for the spies and intelligence of major forces to penetrate it?" Looking around Chu Xuan and others, Chu Zheng said bitterly, "One is the Chongqing general, and the other is the father..."

"Xu Jingmiao has no need to do this, so it is only possible that his father intervenes, so that the major forces cannot learn about Yao Ruoyu and others occupying Hezhou City in time," sighed, and Chu Zheng smiled bitterly, "Since that's the case, he obviously knew about this a long time ago."

"Why did my father do this?" Chu Dun frowned and asked in confusion.

Chu Hao suddenly thought of something and frowned and said, "So, three days ago, my father was deliberately doing it, and deliberately transferred my sixth brother away to Hunan to participate in the war against the Southern Barbarians, so as not to cause trouble because of this?"

"It's probably like this..." Taking a deep breath, Chu Zheng suppressed the anger and turbulence in his heart, then curled up his anger on his face, bowed gently to Chu Xuan and others, and sighed, "Sorry, I just lost my composure."

Chu Yuan smiled, waved his hand casually, and grinned, "Lao Wu, why are you polite to us?"

Seeing Chu Zheng calm down, Chu Xuan sighed and said, "The reason why you got angry just now is because of those girls Wu Xue?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Yao Ruoyu to be so arrogant and want to control a city with the three realms. Such a move is dangerous, but it is not impossible to plan properly," said Chu Zheng a little bit gritting his teeth, "But it shouldn't be absolutely necessary. He shouldn't have pulled Wu Xue into the game!"

"In this way, once things fail, I'm afraid Wu Xue will be implicated, with her mere second-level strength..."

The pupils contracted slightly, and Chu Zheng's eyes showed a bit of unspeakable complexity.

"...How can I block the thunderous attack from the court?"

*—*—*—*—*

"Three realms control one city? It's really awesome!"

In the Lantai Villa in the Prince's Mansion of Lanzhou City, a young man with a sword-browed eyebrows stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with a cold expression, holding a bamboo slip in his right hand, which read in detail the beginning and end of Yao Ruoyu and others occupying Hezhou City.

The young man's eyes were extremely deep. When he looked at him, he seemed to be able to see through what others thought at a glance, and even vaguely see all kinds of calculations in his eyes. It seemed that this man was always calculating and laying out, and he stopped for a moment.

With a thumb gently brushing every word on the bamboo slip, the face of the young man in purple robe was as quiet as water, but only those who knew him could see the emotions of worry, joy, concerns, etc.

"Even if I can calculate the thoughts and layout of everyone in the world, I can't figure it out at all. Rather than saying that you are taking a different approach, your thinking is too wild and whimsical, so I never thought that you would choose such a difficult path..."

"Three realms control one city, this is a more difficult thing than traveling back...!"
