Chapter 424: The posture of a famous general, the governor commits suicide

The moonlight is dancing and the summer wind is slightly cold.

Deep in the ruins beside the road, there are sparse trees.

Zhang Wanyu sat on a flat stone, and Chen Zhong, the chamberlain, stood on the left, bowing and praising: "That King of Nanchang is indeed quite capable."

After a short pause, Chen Zhong bowed slightly to the saint Ye Wanwan on the other side, and then continued: "Old slave originally heard that the young master and the saint were trapped in Meiling Pass, and happened to be in Muzhou at that time.

Tang, that’s why I came over to take a look. I never thought that the King of Nanchang really had three heads and six arms, and Luo Yongjie, who was able to defend the city, wiped out more than a thousand soldiers..."

"The manager is worried about it. Wan'er and the saint have nothing to do with it. It's just..." Zhang Wanyu paused for a moment, with a hint of worry on her face. She looked at Chen Zhong and said: "General Manager, although every time I fail, I have myself.

Because of waiting, but the King of Nanchang can always catch our mistakes, or in other words, he can always force or lure us into our flaws. How should we deal with such an enemy?"

"Oh, Young Master, do you feel this way?" Chen Zhong's face suddenly became solemn. Zhang Wanyu's personal feelings made Chen Zhong quite surprised.

"What the Hall Master said is right, Wanwan feels the same way." Ye Wanwan nodded in agreement. She looked up at Meiling Pass and said worriedly: "Wanwan sometimes feels that where the King of Nanchang is,

It's like a whirlpool, whether it's Shendu, Yangzhou, Wuzhou, or Meiling Pass, it's the same. No matter how much effort we put in, we will always fail in the end."

Several plans in Shendu, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou went wrong, and it was all with the involvement of the King of Nanchang.

This is especially true in Wuzhou, where the direct loss of manpower is still higher than the previous times.

From the 600 black soldiers who sneaked into Wuzhou at the beginning, to the 300 who came in as reinforcements from Muzhou, and later, the thousand soldiers led by Luo Yongjie, almost all of them died in Wuzhou.

In addition, there are also the personnel of the Wuzhou branch in Dongyang and the 300 loyal followers recruited by the Tianyin Sect from Lanxi.

The five hundred reinforcements were scattered on the mountain road.

Before and after, there were two to three thousand Tianyin cultists who were killed in Li Xuan's hands.

If this continues, no matter how many people the Tianyin Sect has, it will not be enough to suffer losses.

"This King of Nanchang has the appearance of a famous general. This old slave has come to the right place." Chen Zhong's expression flickered, he paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Wanyu and said: "Muzhou Hall has begun to adjust the two thousand troops, and we will add more

The current group of people, as well as craftsmen with crossbows and catapults drawn from various counties, will also be sent up the mountain one after another, and then sent to Meiling Pass."

"Send it to the foot of Meiling Pass?" Zhang Wanyu's face suddenly looked astonished, and she said in surprise: "This mountain road is difficult to travel. If you want to reach it, you will be afraid for several days."

"It doesn't matter, the old slave issued a strict order. They must arrive at Meiling Pass within three days." Chen Zhong looked calm and stern, and then said: "After arriving in three days, renovate the ordnance, and then attack the city with all our strength. We must

Fight and go down."

"There's something going on." Zhang Wanyu immediately understood what was going on.

"Five days later, Muzhou will change its flag. Before that, the young master will capture Meiling Pass and kill Nanchang King Jiqi!"

With Chen Zhong's calm words, the bloody smell of killing immediately entered Li Xuan's eyes through Ye Wanwan's sight.

Two thousand five hundred men, plus catapults, crossbows, and other war equipment such as well rails and battering rams that may be built upon arrival.

It can be said that the Tianyin Sect has really mobilized in order to break through Meiling Pass this time.

Also, the strength of three thousand people, if gathered together, is enough to fight a large-scale battle.

But these people were eaten by Li Xuan in small bites.

Anyone else should be treated with caution.

"The Holy Queen said that in the future, we will inevitably encounter similar difficulties in other places, and we will inevitably encounter similar strong opponents. It is better to adapt in advance, so as not to be held back by similar things at the critical moment." Chen

Zhong spoke so calmly that Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan could even faintly see through Chen Zhong's face and see the cold and stern face of the queen.

"It was Wanyu who disappointed the Holy Queen." Zhang Wanyu's face suddenly filled with infinite guilt.

Standing up, she bowed deeply towards the main altar in the northwest mountain.

Ye Wanwan on the side quickly followed suit and saluted.

Lowering her head, Ye Wanwan felt a little confused. This situation was not suitable for her to be present at all.

In fact, Ye Wanwan had already proposed to avoid it before, but Chen Zhong insisted on letting her sit in, which made Ye Wanwan feel a little restless.

Ye Wanwan knew in her heart that although she was a saint of the Tianyin Sect, she had never been the true core of the Tianyin Sect.

She was not allowed to hear about many confidential matters.

Many times, the leaders of the Tianyin Sect would even dare to use her as a pawn.

Regarding her status, Ye Wanwan had a very clear view of her status, so she had always understood the rules and knew how to advance and retreat. She had never asked about many things that she was not supposed to know, but what happened today.

"The Holy Queen asked the old slave to come this time, just to tell the Holy Lady and the Young Master that this time the attack on Meiling Pass will be carried out with the Holy Lady as the main one and the Young Master as the assistant." Chen Zhong suddenly looked at Ye with cold eyes.

Wanwan.

Ye Wanwan reacted instantly, saluted respectfully to Chen Zhong and Zhang Wanyu, and said, "Wanwan knows what to do."

She was just using her name as a saint as a cover, but it was actually Zhang Wanyu who was actually doing it.

Ye Wanwan is a character who takes the blame.

Chen Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ye Wanwan: "Since the Holy Lady understands, please now trouble the Holy Lady to arrange He Jin."

"Here!" Ye Wanwan immediately handed over her hands, then turned and walked towards the crowd in the distance.

At this time, people are setting up camp here, with no intention of retreating or moving forward.

They need some rest.

Li Xuan, who saw all this behind Ye Wanwan's gaze, couldn't help but frown slightly.

The reason why Yan Tao and others met among these Tianyin believers was because while they tried their best to rob and kill Tianyin believers, they also tried their best to destroy the mountain roads.

Once these people from the Tianyin Sect block the road, the mountain road will no longer be destroyed.

but……

In the darkness, a sneer flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

Don't rush and take your time.

…

Watching Ye Wanwan leave, Chen Zhong was sure that she would no longer be able to eavesdrop on their conversation. Chen Zhong became solemn, looked at Ye Wanwan and said, "Young Master, I didn't say anything just now."

Zhang Wanyu's face became serious at the same time. She looked at Chen Zhong and said, "I see, the reason why Uncle Zhong is here must be for other reasons."

Who is Chen Zhong? He is the most powerful confidant around Empress Chen Shuozhen.

Moreover, he never interfered in the affairs of the Tianyin Sect. He was only responsible for handling the general affairs within the main hall and related to the queen, and did not care about anything else.

Even if someone asked him for something, he would remain silent.

Such a character has no effect on the entire Tianyin Sect.

For the vast majority of people in the Tianyin Sect, his existence has no meaning, so most of them have ignored him over time.

Not many people know that he is one of the top experts in the entire Tianyin Sect.

"Shi Xu is dead." Chen Zhong's words rang in Zhang Wanyu's ears like a bolt from the blue.

But she quickly reacted and quickly asked: "How did he die and how does the teaching plan to deal with it?"

"Hang himself." Chen Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and said: "After he dies, we will continue to use his name to issue messages to the outside world. Internally, Sima Yuan Chao will be responsible for all internal and external affairs on his behalf until we capture Yuezhou...

…Compared to Shi Xu, Yuan Chao is more obedient.”

Zhang Wanyu knew Yuan Chao, who was the former Muzhou soldier Cao Junjun.

When the Tianyin Sect controlled Muzhou, there was a group of people who refused to live and die with them, so they had no choice but to send those people down to the area, including the thousand-man Muzhou Sima.

So in order to deal with the situation, Tianyin Sect raised Yuan Chao.

"It seems that this person was just dormant temporarily before and didn't really agree with my teaching." Zhang Wanyu suddenly remembered something and frowned at Chen Zhong.

"So, after Shi Xu died, the old slave sent Shi Xu's concubine to Yuan Chao's bed." Chen Zhong's voice was very soft, but his intention was very sinister.

Shi Xu died, and his concubine appeared on Yuan Chao's bed.

These things cannot be explained clearly.

Without even thinking, the court thought that Yuan Chao had killed Shi Xu and robbed his concubine.

Yuan Chao has no way out and can only go to the dark side with the Tianyin Sect.

"Yuan Chao is the Sima of Muzhou, so the soldiers in Muzhou can also be controlled by our religion." Zhang Wanyu was keenly aware of another benefit of this matter.

Although the Tianyin Sect has taken control of Muzhou, there are still many people who are unwilling to join their ranks.

Some of these people are hiding in the countryside, some are hiding in the mountains, and some have already been thrown into prison...

There are not a few of these people, and the Tianyin Sect has been sending people to keep an eye on them before.

If Yuan Chao reverses his position, then the positions of these people will also be affected.

At this time, the Tianyin Sect can draw out its power by focusing on these people, and these people can also join the Tianyin Sect's camp.

As one goes and the other goes up, the Tianyin Sect suddenly has a lot more power.
