In Fuling County, in the palace of the city lord, Changsun Wuji was sitting at the top of the table, and a group of people were seated below him.
At this time, a messenger ran in from outside the door, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report, the troops besieging the enemy have surrounded the mountain where the enemy is. Just wait for the enemy to appear, and we will clear it out!"
After hearing the words of the messenger, everyone in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. These days, they have not been able to eat well or sleep well, all because of this Cheng Yaojin.
Every time they were attacked by surprise, they suffered disaster, and there was almost no one who was not scolded by Changsun Wuji.
They also gnashed their teeth and cursed at Cheng Yaojin in their hearts, but to no avail. Cheng Yaojin would continue to sneak attacks next time.
They have been carefully prepared for sneak attacks, but Cheng Yaojin is so elusive that you never know when he will appear.
They also searched many places and cleared many times, but they could not catch Cheng Yaojin, which made them very distressed.
This time, Changsun Wuji was offended. He made the deployment himself, preferring to lose some men, horses, and food to determine Cheng Yaojin's position.
Fortunately, it was finally found. Cheng Yaojin might not be able to escape this time.
"Now that we have found him, let's do what we decided before. This person must not be left here, otherwise we will send troops to attack Chengdu County, and he will be a threat!" Changsun Wuji ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The generals stood up and then left one after another to arrange their own affairs.
When everyone was gone, the great elder bowed and said: "Master, those from Qingcheng Mountain asked you, when will you pay them?"
Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and said, "Has Luo Zhang been killed?"
The great elder was stunned and said: "No!"
"Since Luo Zhang was not killed, what kind of reward would be required? The agreement I made with them was to assassinate Luo Zhang. But now that Luo Zhang is alive and kicking, how can I pay him?" Changsun Wuji suppressed his anger.
"I have said this too, but the two of them said that we concealed the fact that Luo Zhang has an innate realm around him. If you want to continue to hunt Luo Zhang, you must first pay the reward this time, and then talk about continuing to hunt Luo Zhang. Reward!" the great elder said slowly.
"They think really well. If the assassination is not successful, they will be rewarded. If the assassination is successful, the reward will be calculated again. Do they really think I am easy to bully?" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth.
"It's just...it's just that these Qingchengshan people are not easy to offend. If we make them angry, there will be no good fruit for us. Such people are beyond the ordinary. When the time comes, they will take action against us secretly. We But I can’t eat anymore and walk away!”
"I think it's better to give what should be given. As for the assassination of Luo Zhang, let's talk about it later. Whether or not to kill Luo Zhang now has no big impact on the war situation. If we can capture Chengdu County, we can talk about assassinating Luo Zhang. What do you think about Zhang's affairs?" The great elder persuaded him kindly.
"Okay, I know you are right. I just said it out of anger. Give them what you deserve."
"Just like you said, when I take Chengdu County, I will settle the score with Luo Zhang. If he is caught by me, forget it. If he escapes, I will let the Qingcheng Mountain people chase him to the ends of the earth and never give up!!! Changsun Wuji patted the table and said.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji finally listened to his opinion, the elder was relieved. If Changsun Wuji continued to have his own way, he was really afraid that the people in Qingcheng Mountain would turn around and deal with them. Then they were not like Luo Zhang, who could resist them. .
Compared with Changsun Wuji, who could come to his senses, Cheng Yaojin really insisted on going his own way and did not listen to Luo Zhang's opinions at all.
At this moment, he was looking attentively at the grain and grass passing below. When he felt that half of the grain trucks had passed, he immediately ordered an attack.
Countless rolling logs and boulders were pushed down the hillside.
Screams suddenly came out. At the same time, the grain truck passing below was also knocked over by a large number of rolling logs and rocks, and the road was blocked immediately.
"Go, kill, wipe out the enemy, and burn the food and grass!" Cheng Yaojin shouted immediately while holding a long sword.
The soldiers also shouted with great morale, and followed Cheng Yaojin and rushed down the mountain.
However, when the soldiers transporting grain at the foot of the mountain saw Cheng Yaojin rushing down, they all abandoned their grain trucks and ran away without a moment's delay.
This is completely different from before. The previous grain transport team fought hard for a while and only left after seeing that they couldn't beat them.
Today's grain transport soldiers are quite cheerful and will run away when the situation is bad. They are not afraid of Changsun Wuji's punishment.
Since the enemy troops ran away, Cheng Yaojin didn't care. Burning the food and grass was the top priority.
But before the men could light it, someone came to report: "Sir, there is something wrong with those grains and grass!"
