"Eldest Young Master... Eldest Young Master, it's time to eat!" The junior colonel brought the meal in front of Zou Wen.
Zou Wen was called over from his daze: "Huh? Oh. It's time to eat."
"Young Master, I don't know what you and the female Taoist priest were talking about. I just saw that you have been like this for the past two days... If you want to tell me, don't think about that much. Just listen to the prince. , can the prince still harm you?"
"Don't blame the young one for talking too much. We will fight wherever the prince tells us to! If you can't bear to watch, eldest son, then don't watch. Whether brothers live or die is a personal matter. No one blames you. Don't take it to heart. , It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat…”
Zou Wen interrupted him: "Okay, thank you for coming to comfort me. Come on, I'll reward you with a chicken drumstick." After saying that, he picked out a drumstick from his meal with chopsticks and handed it to the primary school principal.
The principal directly stretched out his hand to take it, and it seemed that this was not the first time with a proficient look: "eldest son, the younger one talks a lot, don't be offended. Hehehehe..." After saying that, he took the chicken legs and hid to the side and began to eat, not daring to go out. , if someone sees him going out, he will be beaten, and he dares to eat the eldest son’s food!
Zou Wenzhi passed the primary school and fell into deep thought again: "Execute the chief evildoer... How can this be done? The leader of all good deeds is filial piety... But the people in these two places are so innocent..."
"Young Master, it's time for dinner. What are you thinking about if you don't want to eat?" The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a young man walked in with his head lowered. Before the guard who was chewing a chicken drumstick next to him could ask questions, he grabbed him and threw him out of the tent.
"Who...are you?" Zou Wen was not too worried about his own safety. He was able to enter his military camp and walk into his military tent so arrogantly, but there was only one result. He had the token of the Xigui Army!
The young man took out a token from his arms and said with a smile: "Five Immortals Sect, Dao secretly obeys. People in the world are a bit rude, don't blame me, sir."
"No...it's okay." Zou Wen sat down and did not check the token. They all entered the big account, and the token must have been tested many times.
"I came here today because I have something that I need the eldest son to help me with." Dao Anfeng said straight to the point.
"Sword God, please speak." Zou Wen calmed down and remembered Dao Anfeng's identity.
Dao Anfeng was not polite and sat directly on a chair on the side: "Guan Chenzi from Zhenyang Mountain has sneaked into Xigui. I wonder if the eldest master knows about it at this time?"
"Why did you mention this?" Zou Wen asked instead without answering him.
"She is the only one who has entered the noble family. I thought about it, but I don't know why she entered the noble family. I can only think of one reason. That is to come to see the eldest son. People in the poor mountains and rivers of Xigui are also rough and arrogant, and the eldest son is like this A good person is like a pearl in the dark night. It is reasonable and reasonable for someone from a well-known family like Zhen Yangshan to come to find the eldest son." Dao Anfeng said directly.
Zou Wen asked: "How do you want me to help you?"
Dao Anfeng revealed all his plans and told Zou Wen. After listening, Zou Wen stood up and refused directly: "I can't help, please go back."
Dao Anfeng seemed to have anticipated Zou Wen's reaction. He walked forward slowly in two steps and lowered his voice and said, "Why is the eldest son so stupid? Do you think I want to harm people? In fact, I want to save people!"
Zou Wen looked at him with disdain: "Do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"
"To be honest, the Second Young Master has given an order, and the two major gangs of the Five Immortals Sect and the Wuyin Sect are on their way. The three factions have used their strength just to kill a little female Taoist priest. It can be seen that the Second Young Master has become really angry. Yes. And you know the temper of the Second Young Master, if you wait for the two sects to arrive, will Guan Chenzi still survive?"
"I had a plan and rushed to find the eldest young master first to capture Guan Chenzi. As long as she is captured alive and brought to the second young master, with her status as Zhenyangshan, she can still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, the two sects Under siege, the sword has no eyes, I am afraid that this female Taoist priest... will die~"
Dao Anfeng observed Zou Wen's expression. From his expression, Dao Anfeng concluded that Guan Chenzi had already met Zou Wen.
Zou Wen frowned, he already knew that Guan Chenzi single-handedly lured the barbarian soldiers and the Xigui army into killing each other. If it were the second brother, the three sects would definitely be able to encircle and suppress Guan Chenzi. This Dao Anfeng came alone in advance, so he may not be Guan Chenzi's opponent... If he lures her there...
"Eldest Young Master, if you are worried, I can be your guarantee. After I capture Guan Chenzi, I will send him to your military camp. When I see the Second Young Master, he is in your hands, and you are the eldest son of the prince. Even if the young master wants to kill him, he has no choice but to give up..." Dao Anfeng said in a persuasive way.
Zou Wen slowly sat back on the chair and gave the eviction order: "Your Excellency, please go back first and let me think about it."
"Okay, then I won't disturb the eldest son. I just need him to remember that in four days, there will be a moonless night. If you miss this day...hehe, I will have no way to save myself..." Dao Anfeng finished. Turn around and leave without stopping.
Zou Wen sat in a chair and thought for a long time, until the guards outside came in to clear away the dinner plates, and found that not a single bite of the food on the plates had been touched.
"My eldest son, the generals outside the tent have asked the younger ones to come and ask, are you going to leave the camp tomorrow and go on your way?"
"No...wait four days..." Zou Wen replied with difficulty.
…
Outside Rongcheng, the Nanhuai Middle Route Army had already arrived at the city. Coincidentally, Li Dingxing also arrived with Qin Qianqian and hundreds of people.
"Master, you are here!" In the main tent, Chen Guang and Chu Zhou looked particularly happy to see Li Dingxing.
Bai Xinglong held his sword and looked at the scarred Qin Qianqian. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "What? Brother Qin, there are too many mosquitoes in the south. Are you bitten by mosquitoes?"
In late winter, where do mosquitoes come from? Qin Changqian knew that he was deliberately making fun of him, so he turned away and didn't answer, making Bai Xinglong laugh.
"Where is Feng Nan's Northern Route Army? Isn't it here yet?" Li Dingxing asked confusedly when he didn't see Feng Nan.
Chen Guang shook his head: "We have been here in Chengdu for almost ten days, and we haven't seen Feng Nan yet."
Li Dingxing frowned in confusion, but did not ask any more questions about this matter: "Well, the Northern Route Army is all on mountain roads, and it may be difficult to travel on mountain roads. Let's send someone to ask. How is the situation in Rongcheng?"
"We tentatively attacked several times, but... the situation is not optimistic." Chen Guang looked a little ugly.
"tell me the story."
"As soon as our soldiers arrived at the city wall, there were countless insects and ants attacking the city, covering up the sky and the sun... It was really a toad jumping on the instep, not biting people, but it was very scary... Even if our soldiers climbed up the city wall, With the intrusion of these insects and ants, the fighting strength will be greatly reduced..."
"In the past few days, there have been many insects and ants entering the camp and chewing up the soldiers' armor and weapons. It's really despicable!" Chu Zhou also complained at the side.
Li Dingxing was not angry and asked: "Who is guarding the city?"
Chu Zhou replied: "Shaoxia Bai captured a Xigui soldier in the city two days ago, and I just found out about it now. The man guarding the city is the owner of the Holy Insect Valley, Miao Zhanggan! Bring the prisoner up!"
Xi Guibing was brought to the tent and kept his head lowered. Whether it was guilt or fear, he never raised his head.
"I heard your confession that the person guarding the city is Miao Zhanggan, the owner of the Holy Insect Valley? Who is this?" Li Dingxing asked.
"Yes, the Holy Insect Valley controlled by this person is also a large group in Xigui. Although it has no name, in the eyes of people in Xigui, the Holy Insect Valley is only under the Five Immortals Sect and Wuyin Sect, and is the third largest group in Xigui. The big faction. The villain only knows so much." The Xigui prisoner said honestly.
Li Dingxing refused to give up: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"
"The Xigui army has ten thousand soldiers, but there are less than a thousand disciples from the Holy Insect Valley."
Li Dingxing rolled his eyes and said, "I will let you go back now and recruit this Miao Zhanggan to surrender. Are you willing?"
When the Xigui prisoner heard that he could go back, he raised his head in disbelief: "You want to let me go back...?"
"Yes, someone has to go to the city to recruit surrender. If you don't want to, then take him to the capital and hand him over to the Holy Emperor." Li Dingxing deliberately frightened him.
The Xigui prisoner nodded repeatedly: "If you are willing, I will go to the city and tell the Lord of the Miao Valley to surrender. In less than three days, you will be able to capture Rongcheng!"
Li Dingxing raised his hand and waved, the sword light in Bai Xinglong's hand flashed across, and the rope binding the prisoner was untied.
"You little man, go right now, go right now!" The Xigui prisoner nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran away.
When he came out of the tent, Chen Guang said: "Master, why are you putting him back here? Even if you give him some courage, he won't dare to talk about surrendering that grain owner!"
Li Dingxing smiled: "Oh, do you really expect him to succeed? He has been captured by us for these days, and the people in Chengdu must know about it. Let him go back now, so that the people in the city will know that I, Master Wang, are benevolent and will not attack the city next time." Fighting to the death."
Bai Xinglong wrinkled his nose: "I'm afraid it won't be of much use alone...but it doesn't hurt to try, it's better than nothing!"
In the city, Miao Zhanggan was sitting on the tower with half-squinted eyes. Two sisters with the same appearance were behind him and pressing his shoulders: "Master of the Valley, if we send the 'po army' to fight, these soldiers and horses are not at all. Opponent. Why hide it and not use it?"
Miao Zhangqian seemed to be drowsy: "Second Young Master is away, we will be responsible for guarding Chengdu. 'Pojun' is the trump card of our Holy Insect Valley. Once used lightly, the opponent will find a way to break it. We are really in over our head..."
"Hmph, I don't believe there is a way to defeat 'Po Jun' on the other side!" The two said in unison.
"Then you are gambling. Even if you win the bet, you can only defend the city. If we lose, we will never be able to raise our head in front of the Five Immortals Sect..." The Five Immortals Sect has always been Miao Zhang's fault. Heart disease.
"Report to the Miao Valley Master, the Second Young Master sent someone to deliver an urgent military message!" A Xigui sergeant held up the letter and handed it to the Miao Zhanggan.
A woman stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Miao Zhanggan: Master Miao Valley, the matter in Bincheng has been decided. I will lead the army back. I already know the troops and horses outside the city. Three days later, at Mao hour, Miao Valley Master led his army to rush out. He pretended to be defeated and retreated along the official road to the south. There was an ambush!
"Okay! The second young master is finally back..." Miao Zhanggan smiled with a smile on his face, which seemed to be a wry smile. It's not easy to support a gang, and now it's hard to get some military exploits, but before the two sides fight, the second son, Zou Tao, has already returned.
…
In the west of Chongqing City, Yi Xiaoling had just settled down the people he had brought back from Bincheng, and was about to mount his horse and lead his army to Rongcheng.
"Yi Xiaoling! Hey, Yi Xiaoling!... Xiang Lian'er!"
Amidst the noise, Yi Xiaoling seemed to notice that someone was calling her. Looking back, Yi Xiaodao was holding He Yue'er, standing on the tower of the city wall. The two were smiling sweetly, like a couple of gods.
