In the small courtyard, after listening to Baoxiang's words, Wu Gen felt a little depressed for a moment. As he said, Baoxiang can only be regarded as a peripheral person at best, and he does not know the inner workings of Tiandao Sect.
Tiandao Sect has been repeatedly attacked by the government, losing most of its strength, and the rest can be said to be jittery and cautious. For such a long time, Baoxiang was only responsible for communication between Dalong Mountain and a place called Yangze, and knew nothing about the rest.
Yangze is actually a big lake with an island in the middle of the lake. Baoxiang has never even been to the island. Every time he meets, he is on the shore.
After capturing Dalong Mountain, when Wu Gen interrogated the Snake Man, he said that one of his contacts was a salt dealer, so he became suspicious and found an excuse to lead the people directly to Fuming Pass.
Mo Xin is such a shrewd person, he naturally knows about Baoxiang. Today I saw Wu Gen and his group in such a posture, carrying knives and swords. Moreover, when passing by the private salt warehouse on the mountainside during the day, he stopped for a long time. Mo Xin guessed that it was related to Baoxiang, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Baoxiang to run away. But he never thought that not only did he not run away, but he came to Fuming Pass.
"Wu Gen, you are a member of the official family now, how should you deal with Baoxiang." Mo Xin couldn't hold back and asked anyway. Brothers are together, it would be better to explain some things clearly.
Wu Gen yawned, feeling sleepy again. "If it's still possible, I'll just say that I accidentally learned about Tiandaomen from the army. Don't worry, I will go to the Xiangjun camp tomorrow. In addition to Xuan Shoji, don’t the military also have their own spies?”
When Mo Xin heard this, that was all he could do. "That's right." Mo Xin patted his thigh, "Since he is an informant in the military, we might as well make this matter real and discuss it with Zhang Yuan to give him a formal identity. This way, even if he is found out in the future, Baoxiang will be followed. If you take it out, you will find some protection."
"Okay, I will go and discuss with Lao Zhang tomorrow. By the way, Baoxiang, you have been in contact with this Tiandao Sect for a long time, but you have found some strange people, such as those who look like crows." Wu Gen Suddenly I remembered the scene I saw when I was exploring the snake man's soul. Could it be that someone from the Zhengling Alliance was involved.
After thinking for a long time, Baoxiang said uncertainly: "When you said that, I remembered that once on the shore of Yangze, several people took a boat ashore, and one of them had a crow's head mask on his face. At that time, I thought it was a messenger like me, and I chose a crow's head mask to cover it up. What's wrong, there's something fishy about these people."
Wu Gen pondered for a moment, then Fang Youyou said: "I finally understand why this operation is so strange. Normally Zhaoxuan Division is here, and it doesn't take much effort to wipe out the Tiandao Sect, so why do several academies need to come forward?
These crow-faced men belong to an organization called the Zhengling Alliance, and they are all soldiers. Matters involving garrison troops are quite sensitive for all countries. Improper handling can easily lead to a backlash from the garrison clan.
It is estimated that Zhaoxuansi also discovered the secret, so he withdrew and asked the academy to send people to quell the chaos. This way, if something happens in the future, there will be room for maneuver. After all, the college does not represent the government. ".cao
"Didn't he take off his pants and fart? Aren't the people in the academy still from Zhao country?" Baoxiang looked puzzled. Just hit him, and do such a roundabout thing.
Wu Gen and Mo Xin looked at each other and chuckled: "There is a big difference between the people of the Zhao Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom. This time we destroyed the Tiandao Sect, it can only be said that it was done privately by a group of people who were worried about the country. Even the academy It cannot represent the State of Zhao, let alone the State of Zhao. If something happens, it is just a few Zhao people who are reckless and have nothing to do with the imperial court."
The place where the garrison clan lives borders several countries. The atmosphere between the two sides has become more and more delicate in recent years. No one wants to take the lead in triggering a conflict with the garrison. It is understandable that Jian is so cautious.
"Hey, isn't it the same? Scholars have many twists and turns." Baoxiang shook his head repeatedly.
The three of them talked about some things after their separation, but they all drank too much. Wu Gen just told Baoxiang not to have anything to do with Tiandaomen anymore, to sell salt with peace of mind, and to go out together when he has the opportunity. Otherwise, with Baoxiang's temperament, there is no telling what kind of trouble will be brought out one day.
Early the next morning, Baoxiang left early. Mo Xin treated the group to dinner respectfully as before. Watching the shuttle go away gradually, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart. Everyone was about to fly away, leaving me alone in this desolate place, but it was pretty good, having food, drink, and someone to take care of me, that was enough.
Everyone has their own way of living.
Not to mention Mo Xin's emotion, when Wu Gen arrived at the Xiang Army Camp, he really stirred things up here. Jin Song's head was almost pounding when he saw so many noble people here, and he was busy greeting them in person.
Wu Genze took advantage of a group of students to show off as nobles and quietly found Zhang Yuan and told him about Baoxiang. Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while and agreed. Isn't it just a matter of adding a few lines of words on the hidden document? There is no need to ask Jin Song for instructions, he can just make the decision himself.
After meeting a few familiar people in the camp, Wu Gen took Hu Jia and others and left in a hurry. Didn't he see Jin Song winking at him? These students finally regained the feeling of being nobles, and they were naturally domineering and bossy, driving Jin Song around. If this continues, Jin Song may resign.
Returning to Dalong Mountain, Wu Gen went straight to Luo Bing and told him the news.
Luo Bing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Wu Gen to touch the stronghold of Tiandaomen so quickly. "Who in the army provided the information? You might as well bring it with us, just to be a guide."
Wu Gen looked around, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Master, I don't know that Master Jian made an explanation before coming here. There are garrison soldiers involved in this operation. It is not appropriate to involve too much, so as not to make things difficult for the court."
Luo Bing was stunned, "How do you know this? Maybe that old fox asked you to spy on me."
Knowing that Luo Bing had misunderstood, Wu Gen quickly explained, "That's not true. The garrison issue is inherently very sensitive. I have dealt with the Zhengling Alliance. These people have a lot of resentment towards various countries. I also found out about this. , and then suddenly remembered the internal disputes. Neither Junzhong nor Zhaoxuansi could directly intervene in this matter, so calling in the guide would go against the original intention of the national master."
Luo Bing was furious, "Old fox, they didn't want to take action. They pushed me onto the fire to roast me. I was carrying the pot. He got the benefit. I was so angry. Show me the picture. Where is this damn Yangze?" place."
Wu Gen secretly laughed in his heart. Although Luo Bing complained, he was unambiguous in his actions. Several captains were invited to come in and discuss together how to attack Yangze.
Three days later, Wu Gen introduced the situation in Yangze and the purpose of the trip to Hu Jia and others during the shuttle. According to Luo Bing's plan, all the thieves on the island must be caught this time.
Yangze is located in the northeast of Bao'an County. It is said to have 800 miles of water, endless blue and vast mist. There are three islands in the center of the lake, one large and two small, shaped like poles floating in the water, hence the name "Bianpole Island".
It was the big island among them that was attacked this time.
Sitting on the shuttle, looking at the mist-shrouded island, Wu Gen slowly said: "This island is not small, and it must be home to a lot of thieves. In this battle, Master Luo still gives us the power to lead the battle. Responsibility. After landing, Qi He, Zhang Rong, Miao Yu and our main force broke out. Hu Jia, Su Jianyu and Mu Yun were covering the flanks and rear respectively. Luan Ming was maneuvering the boat in the air, waiting for opportunities to support. At the same time, he had to guard against the thieves jumping over the wall to seize the opportunity. Boat."
Wu Gen rushed forward time and time again, and the group of people had no problem with his arrangements.
"There are many enemies in this battle. We must move quickly and stay in formation so that we can catch the enemy by surprise. Use more to defeat fewer in local areas." Wu Gen continued to order.
Is fighting one or two people the same as fighting a group of people? When surrounded by enemies, you must be integrated and have coordinated attack and defense, otherwise it will be easy to be divided and annihilated. As for bringing Qihe along, it was because Zhang Rong was weaker, in order to enhance his forward momentum.
The shuttle arrived over the big island. Through the mist, we could vaguely see the sturdy watchtowers built along the island's main ferries and road forks. There are rows of houses on the island, surrounding a huge black tall building in the center.
When the fog reached the courtyard around the high-rise building, it suddenly changed direction and formed an egg-shaped circle, making this place look like an isolated island in the fog. Needless to say, there should be a formation here, and it is also the most heavily defended place on the entire island.
If we attack from the bottom up from the shore, passing through the outposts and hidden fortresses, as well as layers of building blocks, we don't know how many people will be injured.
Wu Gen asked Luan Ming to send a message to Luo Bing. Since the courtyard was small, he suggested that the shuttle land directly in front of the courtyard wall, break down the door and attack the thieves in the building, leaving some people to block the rescue.
Soon, Luo Bing wrote back, and at the same time he made it clear that Luo Bing would break the formation and block one side of the enemy alone. Wu Gen's group, including Wu Gen's group, would be responsible for the other three sides, and two groups would be left on the floor. Block the supporting thieves outside.
Wu Gen was in charge of the east side. Looking at the sun, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He should have gained some advantage by attacking along the sunlight. But the only bad thing is that behind you is another small island called Biandan Island. If there are thieves to support from the island, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides. Therefore, the principle of this battle is to be quick, capture the high-rise building before enemy reinforcements, and then turn around to face the outside world.
The shuttle was still more than two feet high from the ground, so Wu Gen jumped down with his men and went straight to the courtyard gate. He waited for Luo Bing to break the formation, then crashed through the door and entered. The shuttle behind him quickly took off into the air as instructed in advance and hovered over the tall building waiting for support.
In front of the tall building, Luo Bing was carrying a tiger-headed long knife. This knife is extremely long, and with the handle, it reaches Luo Bing's shoulder.
The long knife was drawn out. The blade was extremely thick, the blade was green and red, and there were golden skull patterns on it. This knife is extraordinary at first glance. It is filled with cold air when it is unsheathed, filled with murderous intent, and a bit of cold light circulates in the blade.
Looking at the ripples of the formation in front of him, Luo Bingbing laughed. His tiger head sword had been fighting in front of the formation for many years, and it was extremely evil. Judging from the strength of the formation, it was still sharp.
With a groan, Luo Bing raised his long knife and slashed at the invisible formation. There was a loud sound, like a boulder thrown into the water, and a wave of ripples arose on the formation, moving rapidly.
With another strike, the ripples turned into substance, and countless cracks appeared.
The third sword fell, and the formation could no longer support it and collapsed.
Seeing that the formation was broken, Wu Gen nodded to Ruyu, who picked up the giant ax and smashed the two iron doors with one blow.
As soon as the door opened, Wu Gen entered first, followed closely by Zhang Rong and Qi He, the three of them facing three directions respectively. The people in the courtyard were alarmed and poured out of the tall buildings one after another.
There were seven or eight people running towards Wu Gen, but the one at the front was a woman.
The woman raised her hand, and several long black silk ribbons flew out and flew towards Wu Gen. There were rows of barbs on the silk ribbons backwards, like tiger's tongues.
Wu Gen held the sword forward, and when the blade collided with the Chang Ling, not only was it not cut off, but the Chang Ling was wrapped around the blade like water.
At the same time, the other Chang Lings also meandered in and flew towards the others beside Wu Gen. Qi He took the lead and stepped forward to block him. As soon as his fist touched Chang Ling, he suddenly retracted it as if it was burned by fire. In the blink of an eye, a line of scarlet blood bubbles appeared on the surface of his fist. The blood bubble burst instantly, and a pool of black water flowed out.
"Don't come into contact with Chang Ling, it's poisonous." Qi He's face twisted ferociously in pain, and he shouted loudly.
However, it was too late at this time. Zhang Rong's long knife was wrapped and he just used his hands to tear it apart. He cried for his father and mother in pain. Fortunately, the jade ax was so big that it was difficult to wrap around it, so I was not poisoned by it.
"Spells." Sweat beaded on Wu Gen's forehead. Before a few fights, two of his own family members were injured. He could only hope that Hu Jia and others could respond with spells from afar.
