Zezhou City Head.
Li Xingyun was dressed in green armor and a bronze mask with red armor and black patterns on his face. He held his hands on the city bricks on the city wall and looked into the distance.
On the city wall, there are soldiers from Liang who are guarding and patrolling.
"Lord Fengdu." An official in official robes and a leader of the Xuanming Sect in black armor with gold rims and a ghost face climbed onto the city wall. They looked at Li Xingyun standing in front of the city tower supporting the wall. They trotted quickly and came to Li Xingyun. In front of him, the two of them bowed and said in unison.
"Zezhou, are you safe?" Li Xingyun's deep falsetto voice came from behind the mask.
This deep voice, like coming from hell, made the man in official robes shudder. The secret method of Xuanming Cult was indeed magical.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I have arranged everything properly." The official bowed his hands to Li Xingyun in front of him.
As soon as he woke up this morning, what he saw was a group of Xuanming followers wearing black armor and ghost faces, as well as the bright scimitars in their hands.
He was convinced at that time.
Li Xingyun took this opportunity to take control of Zezhou City in the name of Zhu Wen, while also tightly controlling the 100 people at the helm of Zezhou Xuanming Sect.
From now on, until Zhu Youzhen is captured, he will be Fengdu.
"Sir Fengdu, the Xuanming Sect's Zezhou Branch has closely monitored the entire Zezhou. Please rest assured, the Zezhou garrison and the Xuanming Sect members will do their best to protect the safety of Zezhou." The leader of the Xuanming Sect Looking at Li Xingyun in front of him, he spoke respectfully.
"Well, not bad, not bad, I am very satisfied.
Now that our Xuanming Sect is employing people, if you don't make any mistakes, I will pass you a volume of skills and transfer you to the main helm to handle errands. "Li Xingyun said to the helmsman of the Xuanming Sect branch.
"I would like to thank Lord Fengdu for your support and kindness. I will bear this in mind for five years and will go through fire and water for Lord Fengdu in the future.
I heard that your Excellency has been away on business and has no disciples or heirs. If you do not give up, I would like to show my filial piety..." Upon hearing this, the helmsman of the Xuanming Sect branch immediately knelt down on one knee and spoke to Li Xingyun.
…
Inside Luzhou City.
This room is dominated by red and is soaked in this warm tone, making it look very luxurious and sophisticated. The walls of the room are made of spectacular red marble, its smooth texture exuding a deep and gorgeous sheen. The ceiling of the room is composed of golden lines and gorgeous patterns, making people look like they are under a golden canopy.
There is a huge red velvet couch in the room, decorated with golden details, and the cushions are covered with gorgeous red satin. Li Cunxu is wearing a white robe and a yellow mask on his face, admiring the actors in front of him. Song and dance.
"Wonderful~ wonderful~ wonderful~" Li Cunxu said in a dramatic tone, very satisfied with the drama in front of him.
Just when Li Cunxu was enjoying the opera in front of him, an actor dressed in white and with a clown-like face walked out of the hall with small steps.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." The Mirror Heart Demon came to Li Cunxu, bowed his head and lowered his ears, and said to Li Cunxu.
"How~" Li Cunxu stood up, struck a pose, and said in a playful tone.
"Your Highness Tianwei, Zhu Youzhen will retreat without a fight.
The spies who came back reported that Liang Jun's camp was empty. "Jing Xin Mo clapped his hands, looked at Li Cunxu in front of him, and said with a flattering look on his face.
"Retreat without fighting?" Li Cunxu raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing his handsome face, and murmured with some confusion.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mirror Heart Demon looked at Li Cunxu in front of him and agreed.
“The city is on strict alert and cannot be slacked off.
Spies and scouts were deployed widely to explore Liang Jun's movements. "Li Cunxu put on the mask and spoke in a playful tone. Then he returned to his normal tone and said to the Mirror Heart Demon who was about to leave, "Wait a minute. "
"Your Highness, do you have any other orders?" The Mirror Heart Demon was about to leave when he was stunned when he heard the words. He turned around and asked Li Cunxu.
"The strength of Zhu Youzhen's army is more than four times that of mine, and there is also veteran general Wang Yanzhang in the army. But he withdrew in such a hurry, I expected that there would be drastic changes in Niliang.
Let me investigate carefully. "Li Cunxu looked at the Mirror Heart Demon who looked at him with a flattering expression and warned him.
"Yes, Your Highness.
Please rest assured, Your Highness, I understand. "The Mirror Heart Demon looked at Li Cunxu, smiled flatteringly, and then turned around and left.
When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Li Cunxu nodded assuredly, waved his sleeves, sat on the couch, and said to the actors in a dramatic voice: "Hey, you guys, stop~~"
A group of actors continued to play music and dance, and for a while, the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
The Mirror Heart Demon has extremely comprehensive abilities, is good at planning, and is thoughtful. Li Cunxu can rest assured when he does things.
In the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, the one he trusts the most is the Mirror Heart Demon. He is favored and powerful because of the actor's status. If he falls, the Mirror Heart Demon will inevitably lose power. For those in high positions, he will fall to the bottom. That would be worse than death.
Therefore, Li Cunxu felt that he could definitely trust the Mirror Heart Demon because of the benefits.
While enjoying the singing and dancing on the surface, Li Cunxu was actually thinking deeply about Zhu Youzhen's reasons for withdrawing his troops.
There is no doubt that Zhu Youzhen is a fool, but Zhu Wen is not stupid. Zezhou has already fallen into the hands of Liang Jun, and they only need to conquer Luzhou. The gates of the three Jins have been opened, and now we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. What made Zhu Wen give up the recent victory? With the victory so close, should Zhu Youzhen be ordered to withdraw his troops?
After thinking about it, I am afraid that something will change in Bianzhou. If so, there will be much to do.
…
Inside the Zhu Youzhen military camp.
In the big tent, Zhu Youzhen was wearing a long robe covered with silver accessories. She was sitting cross-legged in the big tent, playing with two dice in her hands and thinking deeply.
To be honest, he also wondered why Zhu Wen sent an order to retreat.
Could it be said that the successor to the throne has been decided?
"Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui?" Zhu Youzhen called.
"Your Majesty." Outside the big tent, a Zhu Youzhen soldier who was guarding the big tent entered the tent after hearing the order and knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Youzhen.
"Where's Zhong Xiaokui? Why are there only a few of you?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly became angry. He stood up, looked at the guard in front of him and said.
Li Cunxu had just been humiliated outside Luzhou City, and now he was asked to retreat in despair. How could he endure this?
Could it be that even the guards around you are missing now?
"Reply to the prince, Mr. Zhong is afraid that the Jin army will advance. At this moment, he is exploring the enemy's situation." The guard knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhu Youzhen.
"Fart, that's Wang Yanzhang's business, using her as a bodyguard to go out to explore the enemy's situation?
Someone, bring her back to me! "Zhu Youzhen was very angry and scolded the soldiers inside and outside the account.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Zhong Xiaokui, whom Zhu Youzhen was thinking about, was having a secret meeting with other people outside the military camp.
Taking advantage of the darkness, after receiving the information, Zhong Xiaokui left the military camp on the pretext of exploring the military situation.
