In a mountain forest on the outskirts of Yunzhong County.
Dozens of people are resting here, but everyone has a knife in hand and is very vigilant.
Even when eating and drinking, always pay attention to your surroundings.
These are the people arranged by 'Fan Hanzhong' to eliminate Zhu Yue's secret forces.
Ever since 'Fan Hanzhong' started taking action, he has hardly stopped in recent times, appearing with great fanfare in every county in Hezhou.
He wants to take control, he wants to understand the situation in every place, and then gather the army and all the forces that can be used.
The team sent out was doing so in secret. Those places where 'Fan Hanzhong' had been, and those who were screened out by 'Fan Hanzhong' and who could not be used by themselves, were quietly dealt with by them.
It is precisely because of this situation that this overt and covert cooperation also caused a bloody storm throughout Hezhou.
This team was specially trained by Fan Hanzhong before.
To be precise, it was specially trained to guard against Zhu Yue's group of dead soldiers.
Although Fan Hanzhong has the arrogance of a general, he is not completely confident.
He anticipated all the actions Zhu Yue might take, but he never expected that Zhu Yue would be able to find someone exactly like him.
After replacing himself, he became a fake.
This team of people has been put on hold.
"Boss, there is something I can't hold back anymore."
"Why do I feel that the current Master Zhou Mu is completely different from the previous Master Zhou Mu?"
"This is the third time that we have massacred the whole family, but the general has always been clear about grudges before. Even if there are any enemies, he will definitely defeat them on the battlefield with dignity."
"But why are you doing it so meanly now?"
One of them came to Wu Ming, the boss of this team, and said.
Wu Ming took a deep breath, frowned and said nothing.
"Maybe adults can change too. I feel the same way you do."
"But this is a military order from your lord!"
"We have to do it!"
Wu Ming took a while and then slowly spoke, his tone full of helplessness.
for them.
His duty has always been to protect the master, but now he has become an executioner.
The expressions those people looked at them before they died showed not only fear and resentment, but also deep fear.
How long ago, had they, the people who protected Hezhou, been treated like this by the people of Hezhou?
"Forget it, let's go. When we meet Mr. Zhou Mu, I will personally persuade him."
"But now, keep killing!"
"Where is the next target?"
A trace of cruelty flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
"Sanhe County, Huang Chenzhi!"
…
At this time, there were no changes in other aspects of Sanhe County.
However, in order to deal with possible emergencies, Zhang Bao called Bai Fang and Tie Linjun over.
Even when facing an impostor, Zhang Bao still needs to be more cautious. When dealing with enemies, he must despise them psychologically, but he must take them seriously tactically.
Everyone's ambitions will change, and it's not a bad thing to plan ahead.
"Sir, that team is coming."
A soldier guarding the city said to Bai Fang.
"It's taken me so long to come here. These people are really capable. Give me my order and everyone is on standby!"
Bai Fang nodded and stood up.
Some time ago, he got news from Zhang Bao that a group of people entered Hezhou and went straight to Heyang County.
After they entered Heyang County, they headed all the way towards Sanhe County, which surprised Zhang Bao.
It's not because of the strength of this team, but because of the identity of this team.
There were only a dozen of them in their group, but their posture was similar to that of the eunuchs who came to read out the imperial edict before.
It's just that they are much more low-key than Qin Gou and the others last time.
Even when he stayed in an inn on the way, his identity was not exposed.
But they had never left Zhang Bao's sight since they entered Hezhou. Zhang Bao was not in a hurry to deal with it. He took care of it as soon as it came. If the news was really coming from Xiazhou Palace, it would not be too late to learn about it.
So Bai Fang and the others had actually been waiting for a long time.
"stop!"
"who?"
When the group arrived at the gate of Sanhe County, they were stopped by the guarding soldiers.
"This official is on official business. He came from the palace and came to see Mr. Zhang Bao and Mr. Zhang specifically."
The curtain was opened on the carriage, and a man came down. He raised his hands and said to the soldiers.
Bai Fang, who was on the city wall, frowned slightly when he heard this tone.
Eunuch?
Sure enough, he came from the palace.
The person in front of him was an old eunuch.
"You old eunuch!"
"You want to come to us again, and want to arrest us like last time?"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to lay a finger on us adults, I will twist off your head and stuff it into my crotch!"
When the soldier who asked the question heard that he was a eunuch, he immediately became angry.
Earlier, a eunuch also came.
The purpose of coming was to capture Zhang Bao and take him back to Xiazhou to behead him. This forced Zhang Bao and others to rebel.
Unexpectedly, there is another one coming now.
In their opinion, it was natural to attack Zhang Bao.
After listening to the soldier's words, the people near the city gate also took up their weapons and surrounded the group of people.
"stop!"
At this moment, Bai Fang came to the city gate.
"Search them and disarm them, and I will take you to see your lord."
Bai Fang said coldly.
Not a moment.
Bai Fang took them to the Sanhe County Yamen.
When the team first arrived at the city gate, Zhang Bao had already received the news and was already waiting in the Yamen.
"My dear, Zhang Bao, I wonder what this father-in-law wants from me when he comes all the way?"
Zhang Bao walked out with a smile.
There is no need for Zhang Bao to be hostile to the group of people in front of him. Their purpose of coming is unknown, and from the way they entered Hezhou, there was no arrogance or bossiness. They were completely different from Qin Gou and the others before. of.
"It's true that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Mr. Zhang is indeed dignified in appearance and extraordinary in temperament. I have heard about Mr. Zhang's actions in the palace."
"This old slave is so admired."
The old eunuch smiled and said to Zhang Bao while cupping his hands.
"You're welcome, father-in-law. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Zhang Bao frowned, disgusted with these flattering words in the officialdom.
"I came here specifically to announce the decree, but the process is too complicated. Mr. Zhang should take a look at it himself."
As he spoke, the old eunuch in front of him took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it directly to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of me was also sensible. Could it be that he knew what happened to Qin Gou before?
If this man was still pretending to read the imperial edict, Zhang Bao might not really pay attention to him, but now the eunuch's respectful attitude made it impossible for Zhang Bao to find anything wrong with him.
After receiving the imperial edict and taking a look, Zhang Bao laughed helplessly.
