"Where did the information come from?"
Yuhuatian looked at Xichang Fanzi with a gloomy expression and asked.
“There are them everywhere!”
The Xichang Fanzi looked solemn: "All Wudang's strongholds in various places were destroyed, and many martial arts sects established by lay disciples of the Wudang Sect were also massacred one after another, under the banner of our Xichang. This matter spread quickly everywhere, causing a huge sensation in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the inn changed, and they immediately understood why the governor looked so ugly.
When the Wudang stronghold was destroyed, was it still under the banner of Xichang?
But the people from their West Factory are all here at the moment, so where can they find the time to do these things?
Obviously, someone is throwing dirty water on Xichang’s head!
Ma Jinliang, who had just reached the door, paused for a moment, then turned around and walked back. With cold eyes, he looked at the fan who sent the message and said coldly:
"Have you found out who did it?"
The fan of the West Factory respectfully raised his hands and said: "The Qi Report Stall has not yet been found out clearly, but there is news that the people who did it left our West Factory's flag at the scene, as well as the Xiuchun equipped by the Jinyiwei." Knives and crossbow arrows remain at the scene, and all kinds of evidence point directly to our Xichang and Jinyiwei."
Hearing this, the expressions of the thousands of Taibao guards in Jinyiwei changed drastically.
"This is obviously a frame-up!"
"Each of Jin Yiwei's Xiuchun knives has a special mark. Once it is damaged or lost, it will be recorded and no one else can copy it!"
Lu Wenzhao looked at the fanzi and asked in a deep voice: "Does the Xiuchun knife left at the scene have such a mark?"
Na Fanzi glanced at him: "Yes, and it is Bei Si's exclusive mark."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Ma Jinliang took a deep look at Lu Wenzhao and others, and said coldly:
"No wonder the news spread so quickly. It turned out to be a domestic thief!"
The expressions of Lu Wenzhao and others changed, and they quickly stepped forward, cupped their hands towards Yuhuatian and said:
"Lord Governor, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us. I am a lowly official and will guarantee it with my life..."
Yuhuatian waved his hand: "No one said it was you who did it."
"Although the evidence points directly to your Bei Division, the Bei Division is not just a few of your thousand households..."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Yuhuatian's eyes.
Lu Wenzhao and others have been following him all this time, so it is naturally impossible for them to do these things.
However, among the thirteen Thousand Household Offices of the Bei Division, there are still five Thousand Household Offices that have not yet returned to Beijing, nor have they expressed their attitude of obeying Xichang's dispatch.
If this matter is really related to Jin Yiwei, the most likely possibility is that there is something wrong with the remaining five thousand households.
"Go and check immediately to find out which Qianhu Office the Xiuchun Dao remaining at the scene came from."
Yu Huatian looked at Lu Wenzhao and others and said coldly: "Before returning to Beijing, I need to know which thousands of households have problems! Who dares to collude with outsiders to plot against me?! "
"Yes!" Lu Wenzhao and others accepted the order, and then they were no longer in the mood to eat. They turned around and went out to make arrangements.
No matter which Qianhu did it, anyone who dares to collude with outsiders to frame one of their own is a capital crime!
Even if Yu Huatian doesn't pursue the case, they within Jinyiwei will not let these people go!
Ma Jinliang asked: "Master Governor, do you want to continue sending greetings to Wudang?"
Yuhuatian glanced at him: "You are still sending greetings, are you planning to kill them to vent your anger?"
Ma Jinliang said in a deep voice: "But now that this matter is spreading, the Wudang Sect must have received the news and may have begun to prepare to guard against us. This is contrary to the governor's plan to go to Wudang..."
"It doesn't matter, if the big deal happens, we'll fight it first and then talk about it!"
Yu Huatian's eyes flickered: "What I am most curious about now is, who is behind this plot against me?"
Although the evidence found at the scene points directly to Jin Yiwei, it is certainly impossible for Jin Yiwei alone to destroy so many Wudang strongholds at the same time.
So there must be a third party behind it!
At this time, Ding Xiu's eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and suddenly stepped forward and whispered:
"Supervisor, could it be the person from Hulong Villa..."
Yu Huatian's eyes were slightly cold: "We can't rule out this possibility!"
"When those forces ambushed us in the south last time, have you found out who was covering up the whereabouts of those forces?"
Ma Jinliang shook his head: "We are still investigating, but the clues point directly to the capital, either Dongchang or Hulong Villa. At present, it seems that Hulong Villa is more suspicious, because before that incident happened, Cao Zhengchun had already I left Beijing with the people from Dongchang and I don’t have time to do this.”
"Hulong Villa!"
Yuhuatian's eyes were cold, and he turned to look in the direction of the capital, with murderous intent raging in his eyes: "It seems that if I don't let you die for a day, you won't be able to feel at ease for a moment..."
Ma Jinliang said: "Lord Governor, do you want to postpone it for a few days until we find out who is framing us before heading to Wudang?"
"No need!"
Yuhuatian said indifferently: "The people behind the scenes are doing this to force us to have a head-on conflict with Wudang. No matter why we went to Wudang this time, after this incident, it has been confirmed to the world. Our trip to Wudang this time is to destroy Wudang."
"Moreover, this happened just when we were about to arrive in Wuhan, which shows that the people behind the scenes have been paying attention to our whereabouts."
"At this time, no matter why we came here, we cannot take a step back. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that I am afraid of Wudang?"
Ma Jinliang frowned and said, "But I'm afraid the Wudang Sect won't think so much..."
"Why do I need to explain to others what I do?"
Yuhuatian waved his sleeves and said coldly: "If they really think this is my fault, then so be it!"
"Please inform me, the itinerary remains unchanged. We will set off tomorrow and go directly to Wudang Mountain!"
Ma Jinliang and others immediately stopped talking and said, "Yes!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Tap..."
Not long after everyone left, Ding Xiu suddenly turned around and walked back to the inn, handed a piece of paper to Yuhuatian, looked solemn and said:
"Lord Governor, the brother on duty picked this up at the door. Along with this note, there is also this thing..."
Ding Xiu said and handed Yu Huatian a small embroidery needle.
Yu Huatian frowned, took the embroidery needle, looked at it carefully, and suddenly his eyes moved: "Sun Moon God Sect..."
The style of this embroidery needle is different from ordinary embroidery needles.
This kind of embroidery needle has only been seen used by one person in Jianghu Shang Yuhuatian. This person is the magnificent leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Bubai.
But Dongfang Bubai wanted to see him, why didn't he come in person instead of sending a note?
With this thought in his mind, Yu Huatian did not hesitate, directly opened the note in his hand and glanced at it.
But the next moment, Yu Huatian's movements stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly subconsciously.
Just because there were three words written on the note:
"Qinglong Club..."
Yu Huatian murmured in a low voice, and then a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
If nothing else, Dongfang Bubai should have been aware of his current situation, and he happened to know who the person behind the incident was from nowhere, so he sent someone to convey the news to him to remind him of the situation behind the incident. person's identity.
But when did he provoke the Qinglong Society?
…
The next day, when the morning light first appeared, the large troops of Xichang and Jinyiwei left Qixia Town and headed towards Wudang Mountain.
Due to the destruction of the Wudang Sect's strongholds in various places, the entire northern Jianghu was in turmoil. Many forces who received the news sent people to Wudang Mountain in advance, preparing to watch this game between the imperial court and the martial arts Taishan Beidou. What will be the result?
At this time, Wudang Mountain was no longer as loose as before. Not only were the disciples left at the foot of the mountain transferred back one after another, but they were also heavily defended, making it look like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Obviously, the destruction of Wudang strongholds and the killing of countless lay disciples has awakened everyone in Wudang, and subconsciously believed that Xichang came to Wudang this time with the intention of destroying Wudang.
Therefore, Song Yuanqiao did not dare to hesitate any longer and made combat arrangements overnight yesterday, preparing for a desperate battle with Xichang and trying to find a way to survive this disaster first.
As for other things, we can only leave it to the future.
At the gate of Wudang Mountain, Song Yuanqiao, together with a group of Wudang elders and senior officials, led hundreds of Wudang elite disciples to guard here, waiting for the arrival of the Xichang and Jinyiwei teams.
There was silence in the mountains, and the atmosphere was tense.
From an unknown place in the distance, there are quiet birdsong, the sky is blue, and there are a few white clouds.
And in the quiet mountain forest, there are faint shadows hiding. Although their aura is calm and almost undetectable, they are incompatible with the surrounding environment. It is unknown how many powerful spies they are hiding...
Time passed slowly in such a tense atmosphere.
Until sunset, there were dense footsteps in the distance, followed by a dense group of people, who appeared in everyone's sight.
coming!
Everyone was shocked and immediately cheered up.
"Crash-"
With the sound of heavy horse hooves and crisp footsteps, more than 500 Xichang fans and 3,000 Jinyi guards slowly walked to the foot of Wudang Mountain.
Looking up at the majestic mountain forest, Yuhuatian did not hesitate and directly rode up the mountain.
Behind him, Yan Shisan, Xia Xueyi, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu and the seven eunuchs of Jinyiwei had a clear division of labor. Most of them went up the mountain with them, while the rest stayed at the foot of the mountain to observe the surrounding movements.
And there are people staying and watching along the way to ensure the way back.
"Tap tap tap..."
Soon, the army reached the top of the mountain.
From a distance, dense stone steps are paved from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. At the end of the stone steps, a majestic Taoist temple stands. On the gate at the mountain gate, the word "Wudang" is engraved on it, creating a glorious momentum.
And at the gate of the mountain, dense crowds of people had been waiting for a long time, and the Wudang swords in their hands were shining brightly in the sunset.
Seeing such a scene, Yuhuatian's face showed no emotion. He turned over and dismounted, walked straight forward, looked at the dense crowd of people at the mountain gate, looked calm, and said lightly:
"I, the Governor of the West Factory, Yu Huatian, have come to pay my respects to the mountain."
