Chapter 138...Promoted again?

The imperial court had long known about the rebellions in Huguang and Jiangxi, and that various sects were involved.

It's just that even the Giant Whale Gang is involved, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

Everyone returned to the temporary camp, and Xiong Haishan quickly ordered people to prepare meals.

A few people sat down and had a brief exchange.

Lin Mang also learned from Yu Daiyan that nearly half of Wudang's disciples had gone down the mountain and headed to Huguang and Jiangxi state capitals respectively.

The group led by Yu Daiyan happened to arrive at Chengtian Mansion.

Yu Daiyan also talked about some of their experiences along the way, which can be said to be a hardship for the people.

Although the rebels were under the banner of resisting the tyranny of the imperial court, what they did was outrageous to both humans and gods.

It's not that no one saw it, but the rebellion was so vigorous and caused such a big battle, those people were afraid of being liquidated afterwards, so they could only go to the dark side.

Yu Daiyan cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, you still need to be careful about the demons of the White Lotus Sect."

"Their martial arts are weird and they are good at deceiving people with their lies. Many people have actually been deceived by them."

Lin Mang frowned and asked, "Master Yu, I wonder how much you know about this rebellion."

It was only after he entered the city that he realized that the Jinyi Guards of Chengtian Mansion had been completely wiped out.

Not only Chengtian Mansion, but also the situation of Jinyiwei in other prefectures is similar.

Only a few imperial guards from the state capitals still survived, but they were later attacked and killed by people from Jianghu sects, and there were not many left.

Taking advantage of his status, the left governor used the martial arts sect to cause chaos, falsely conveyed the decree, and tricked the royal guards from various places into leaving the city to quell the chaos.

In the end, those Jinyi guards fell into the trap and were killed by people from the Jianghu Sect.

The Jinyiwei were the eyes and ears of the imperial court in Huguang and Jiangxi. Now that the Jinyiwei is gone, the eyes and ears are gone.

Yu Daiyan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I don't know much about this matter, and I haven't had time to investigate yet."

Lin Mang sighed softly, stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows, and felt a headache.

The situation here is more serious than the court knew.

Now I just hope that the army can come as soon as possible.

At this time, Xiong Haishan walked in from outside the hall and greeted: "Everyone, let's eat first."

After the meal, everyone returned to the residence arranged by Xiong Haishan.

Lin Mang called Tang Qi and ordered: "Send two hundred households and some smart people to leave the city at night to investigate the situation in various places."

Tang Qi shook his head and said: "Sir, Master Yan has already led the people there."

"He asked me to tell you that he didn't ask for orders. I hope you won't blame me."

"Yan Jue?" Lin Mang nodded slightly, and then said: "Send some more people, and be sure to find out the intelligence in various places."

"Let them find a way to blend into the rebel army and use flying eagles to send messages. I need more detailed information."

"In addition, report the situation about the Giant Whale Gang to the Department of Prosecution."

"Yes!" Tang Qi also knew that the situation was serious and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

…

Jingzhou, the prefect’s office.

The former state government office has long been transformed into a temporary military camp.

As for the Jingzhou magistrate, his body has been hung on the city wall.

There are those who are humble and humble, and there are those who are loyal to justice.

Armored soldiers walked past on the street, and bunches of torches lit up in the darkness.

Deep in the lobby of the government office,

In the center of the hall, there is a huge war sand table.

At this time, there was a person standing next to the sand table. He was dressed in a richly decorated black robe. He had a tall figure, sculpted and stunning facial features, and sharp eyes that were so dark and deep that no one dared to look directly at him.

This person is none other than Governor Zuo, Li Wengui.

A middle-aged man wearing armor hurried in.

"Captain!"

The visitor made a military salute and said in a deep voice: "The news just came that the army attacking Chengtian Mansion failed."

Li Wengui slowly looked away from the sand table, opened his lips and teeth slightly, and said in a calm tone: "It must be the Jin Yiwei from the capital."

His voice was cold, as if it was snowing in June.

He Hu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Those people are very strong. One of the leaders of the Giant Whale Gang died in the battle and lost ten artillery pieces."

Li Wengui dropped the small flag in his hand, turned around and walked towards the seat, and a cold voice slowly sounded:

"Tell the general there that if he can't take Chengtian Mansion, he won't have to come back."

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of silver bells outside the hall.

A refreshing fragrance floated in, accompanied by bursts of chuckles.

"I don't know why the Governor is so angry."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person came outside the hall.

The person who came was wearing a white dress and a gauze scarf, revealing a pair of charming eyes.

The woman stood barefoot, her feet that could be held in a hand seemed to exude a crystal luster, and half of her slender legs were as white as jade.

"No birth mother, empty hometown!"

"White lotus purifies the world, all things are impermanent!"

Behind him, four veiled maids knelt down respectfully, folded their hands, and bowed their heads to the ground.

He Hu glanced back subconsciously.

In an instant, his mind seemed to be pulled away, and he stared at the woman in the white dress without blinking, his eyes blurred.

The aura on his body gradually became chaotic.

Li Wengui glanced at the woman in the white dress with an indifferent expression, and the tea cup in his hand suddenly fell on the table.

"boom!"

There seemed to be a sound of beating drums and humming in the darkness.

He Hu woke up with a start, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was extremely frightened.

After all, he is also a warrior in the True Qi Realm, but he lost his mind just by looking at her. What is the origin of this woman?

Li Wengui looked at the visitor with cold eyes and said in a serious tone: "I'm warning you, don't use your ghostly tricks on my people."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The woman chuckled lightly and said a little aggrievedly: "This is not my intention to seduce him. It is obviously because his mind is too weak and he cannot withstand the temptation."

"you……"

He Hu was angry.

As a member of the military, he has always looked down upon these people who are deceiving others with their monstrous talk.

Li Wengui glanced at He Hu and said calmly: "You go down first."

He Hu bowed angrily and bowed out.

Li Wengui looked indifferent and said coldly: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Grand Governor, why are you so secretive?" The woman in the white dress smiled and sat on a chair nearby and said softly: "I have brought you good news. I wonder if you are interested in knowing it?"

Li Wengui glanced at her, showing no intention of playing a riddle with her: "What's the news?"

“Boring!”

The woman in the white dress shook her head and said meaningfully: "Does the Governor know who the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei is coming this time?"

"Lin Mang!"

Li Wengui said this, but his expression remained unchanged.

A trace of astonishment flashed through Bai Wanying's charming eyes, and she said in surprise: "You already knew this?"

Li Wengui stared at the starry sky, and a hint of sarcasm suddenly flashed in his expression.

"Someone wants him dead more than me."

This rotten world should be replaced long ago.

Although he also wanted that despicable bastard to die, he would not affect the entire cause because of this incident.

He knows what he is doing, and he will not lose the big for the small.

Li Wengui slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Wanying, with a rare playful smile on his face.

"The dignified Saint of the White Lotus Sect came here in person. She shouldn't just be sending information, right?"

Bai Wanying smiled and said: "Why don't you, Grand Governor, guess why Wanying is here?"

"For that trash!"

Li Wengui stood up and came to the sand table and sneered: "It has been five days. Not only have we not captured a single city, but we have been surrounded by the Ming army. How can such a person achieve anything?"

Bai Wanying smiled brightly: "He certainly cannot compare with you, the Governor."

However, although she was smiling on the surface, there was still a subtle coldness flashing in her eyes.

"You can save him!"
