The sound of clattering horses' hooves came from the mountain path made of bluestone, looking at the progressive horse team, Zhang Tianyi looked at Fang Zhou with a smile.

Cui Luan on the side asked a little anxiously, "What should I do?"

Fang Zhou stared at the young monk who was in the lead, without saying a word.

The people had reached the bottom of the cliff, and Cui Luan hurriedly said: "You are talking! What the hell should you do, get an idea!"

Fang Zhou turned his head and said to a young man: "Quick! Send the news back with carrier pigeons, so that the second brother can get ready!"

After the young man crawled back, Cui Luan asked, "What about us?"

"Let's retreat! Immediately take a shortcut and rush back, big trouble is still coming!"

As he spoke, Fang Zhou slowly retreated.

Cui Luan was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What about these people?

Fang Zhou asked rhetorically: "Kill, how to kill, that monk is Xu Fan's henchman!"

The two had never seen Ming Xuan before, and even the name was the first time they had heard of it, but in this matter, they believed that Zhang Tianyi had no need to lie.

"What's wrong with the henchman?" Cui Luan said indifferently: "The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is a war zone, so it's normal for a few people to die! Didn't the waves of people sent by Xu Fan do this before?"

"What do you know!" Fang Zhou glared at him and scolded: "Xu Fan even sent out such a person, which means that he has no patience to wait!"

"If this person can't go back, do you think he doesn't know who did it?"

"What if you know? He can't catch the evidence!" Cui Luan retorted.

"You pig brains!" Fang Zhou scolded angrily and said: "This kind of thing still needs evidence? The eldest brother has already made it clear that Chang'an City must be visited! Our current strength is far from enough to deal with the situation, we must go to Chang'an City to mix in the officialdom, grasp more power, and obtain more human resources." If you completely fight with Xu Fan, then the purpose of the eldest brother will be completely unrealizable!"

Seeing that Fang Zhou carried Xu Chen out, Cui Luan had nothing to say. However, Zhang Tianyi on the side was stunned.

Fang Zhou's courage had already surprised Zhang Tianyi, and a young man like Fang Zhou, Xu Chen still had many under him, and over time, his power would definitely be extraordinary!

But now listening to Fang Zhou's words, Xu Chen is still disgusted with his lack of strength!

What exactly does he want to do?

Zhang Tianyi couldn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it!

Zhang Tianyi, who came back to his senses, met Fang Zhou's smiling gaze, and had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Fang Zhou's prediction was not wrong, Xu Fan, who had lost his patience, did bring them a lot of trouble this time.

Xu Fan, who had a bad guess about his eldest apprentice, already had uneasiness in his heart, and the lack of news in the past two months had aggravated this uneasiness.

Now Xu Fan is eager to know what happened here in Xu Chen!

In order to prevent the appearance of the terrifying conjecture in his heart, Xu Fan sent Zhou Xiyu over, and with it, there was also a document from the Ministry of War.

Let Zhou Xiyu take over the order of Wu Weijun!

The Wuwei Army is just a local regimental training, although the military department is not under the jurisdiction of Xu Fan, but the ownership of a regimental training, as the prime minister, Xu Fan can still influence it.

Zhou Xiyu, who finally jumped out of the cage of the forbidden army, was inexplicably excited in his heart, although he was only taking over a local group training, but in Zhou Xiyu's cognition, the rebels in the south were just a group of rabble, even if it was a group training, he had the confidence to build it into a strong army, and he would make a splash of credit in this counterinsurgency!

The battlefield is where the soldier belongs, whether it is a pure soldier born for war, or a speculator who is bent on fame, there will always be a desire for the battlefield.

However, what Zhou Xiyu couldn't understand was why the young monk in front of him looked even more excited than himself.

The joy in Ming Xuan's heart is indescribable, for that strange and familiar opponent, Ming Xuan has been thinking about it for a long time, and now he can finally see it!

What's even more wonderful is that this time I have the advantage, and it is almost a must-win encounter!

After thinking about it for a while, Ming Xuan looked back at Zhou Xiyu and asked, "If there is a change, are you sure to win the military power?"

Zhou Xiyu smiled proudly: "It's just some people's strong! With these dozen elites of the forbidden army in hand, how can there be any reason why they can't take it?"

Ming Xuan nodded slightly, and then admonished: "It's better to be careful! they have successfully resisted the siege of the rebels in Shengzhou!"

Zhou Xiyu smiled contemptuously and said: "Is there anything that can be trusted in the military department's report on meritorious service? If you scare away one or two thieves, you dare to say that you will break thousands of enemy troops! Shengzhou is already an important town, how can it be so easy for a group of rabble rebels to break through?"

"The rabble?" Ming Xuan frowned, and said dishappily: "The rebels' sailors killed Mengjindu not long ago!"

Zhou Xiyu said nonchalantly: "That's just a boat to run to Mengjindu to show off! Do you think they dare to attack the city?

"Hahahaha......"

The dozen or so forbidden army sergeants behind him laughed out loud when they heard the captain's words.

Although Ming Xuan on the side couldn't get used to Zhou Xiyu's behavior, he couldn't question the general opinion of the Chang'an forbidden army about the rebel sailors.

The 100-mile mountain road is not difficult to walk, after all, it is only the periphery of Wuyi Mountain, and after most of the day, the group has completed this not rugged mountain road.

In Xu Chen's army, although there were only more than 3,000 soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers were more than twice as many, and the tents inhabited by tens of thousands of horses filled an originally empty valley.

When Ming Xuan and the others turned a fork in the road, the continuous tents surprised the two.

"This ...... Could this be the camp of the Wuwei Army?" Zhou Xiyu's face was full of incredulity.

Ming Xuan took a closer look, pointed to the big banner with the word "Xu" in the camp and said, "Yes, it should be the Wuwei Army!"

"But, aren't there only three thousand?" Zhou Xiyu asked again.

"Maybe it's just some ploy to increase troops and reduce the number of stoves......"

Ming Xuan couldn't go on as he spoke, because the battalion full of auxiliaries was coming out of their respective tents and began to prepare for tonight's meal.

"This ...... How about 3,000 people?" Zhou Xiyu was an expert, and he had roughly calculated the number of auxiliaries with just a quick glance.

However, Zhou Xiyu's surprise was far more than that!

Although they are auxiliaries, Xu Chen still uses military law to train them, even if they don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but they are also forced by Xu Chen to obey a certain order and obey certain orders when they usually build some fortifications.

Over time, these simple men have already had a trace of military temperament. In addition, Xu Chen's treatment is excellent, the auxiliary soldiers never worry about food and clothing, and their already broad body bones are now full of solid muscles.

From a distance, how can this look like a local regimental exercise? The elite of the forbidden army is nothing more than that!

"Haha!" Zhou Xiyu couldn't help laughing!

I thought it was just a rabble, but now I found out that it was an elite division, and such a lucky thing could be met by him, how could there be any reason to be unhappy?

Compared with Zhou Xiyu in the big joy, Ming Xuan on the side frowned, and there was even more uneasiness in his heart.

"How dare he hide from his soldiers! What does he want to do?"

Before Ming Xuan, who was slow, came back to his senses, Zhou Xiyu on the side had already stepped forward, trotting all the way towards the barracks, waiting for Ming Xuan to wake up, but the person had already arrived in front of the camp.

"Stop! Who dares to trespass in the barracks!"

Unsurprisingly, in the excitement, Zhou Xiyu was stopped by the soldiers guarding the camp. However, at this moment, he didn't have time to deal with these little soldiers, and hurriedly said: "Take me to your general, I have a military department to give him!"

Ming Xuan, who came in a hurry, wanted to stop Zhou Xiyu from thinking about it in the long run, but he didn't expect that the little soldier guarding the door did not stop him in the slightest, and let him go after checking Zhou Xiyu's token.

Such lax guards made Ming Xuan stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

"Could it be that these people are just silver spear wax heads, and military discipline is so lax?"

Without more time for him to think about it, Zhou Xiyu had already rushed into the barracks on horseback, and Ming Xuan had no choice but to follow.

It was now evening, and the sergeants in the battalion were taking care of their meals, and the soldiers who had just finished a day of "fighting" had unloaded their weapons and armor and waited for the auxiliaries to bring the food.

They were slightly surprised by the sudden intrusion of a strange horse team, but they only turned their heads a few times and didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhou Xiyu, who was approaching, frowned deeply as he looked at these fallen soldiers on the ground.

"How can there be such lazy people in the barracks? They are still so young! How can this Xu Chen bring the soldiers? How can these hairy children be allowed to come in? What a bastard! It seems that it is not possible to rectify military discipline properly......

Unconsciously, Zhou Xiyu has taken on the role of the master and began to worry about the future.

However, the scene that flickered before him interrupted his reverie.

"You...... What are you doing here?" Zhou Xiyu, who was furious, rushed forward, grabbed the auxiliary soldier's collar, and asked, "As a dignified soldier, why do you want to serve tea and water to this little kid?"

The honest auxiliary soldier struggled to grasp the soup bowl in his hand, and looked at the fierce stranger with a puzzled expression.

The soldier sitting on the ground raised his head with puzzled eyes.

"Let him go, general! That's what he did. ”

A slightly tired voice came from behind Zhou Xiyu.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiyu turned his head sharply and said angrily: "What are you talking about? You actually let the sergeants serve these little boys? Who is he? This is a war zone! Even the princes of the Holy Lords would not dare to humiliate a soldier so much on the battlefield!"

"He's just ......"

"What's that? he is really the prince of the saint, and if he dares to do this, he will also have to eat military law!"

"I ......"

"What are you? Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here? What about Xu Chen? Let him come out!"

Lu Hao looked at Zhou Xiyu coldly with a gloomy face, and asked, "Who are you? This is the camp of the Wuwei Army! What qualifications do you have to make a big deal about here?"

Zhou Xiyu turned his gaze to Lu Hao, Lu Hao's youth made him slightly stunned, but after a moment, he said coldly: "Heh! I am the new commander of the Wuwei Army, do you think I have this qualification?"

"What did you say?" Before Lu Hao could speak, Zhou Kang on the side exclaimed, "You said you are the commander of the Wuwei Army?"

Zhou Xiyu turned his gaze slightly, looked at Zhou Kang who was dressed in armor, and chuckled: "You are Xu Chen?"

Zhou Kang didn't answer, but his heart was groaning.

After receiving Fang Zhou's order, Lu Hao and Zhou Kang were thinking hard about countermeasures, now that the eldest brother is not there, no matter what the intentions of the people who came, the fact that the eldest brother is not in the camp must definitely be hidden!

Now when he heard Zhou Xiyu's words, a bold idea instantly surged into Zhou Kang's heart.

Zhou Kang, who had made up his mind, was about to respond, but Ming Xuan, who was behind Zhou Xiyu, suddenly shouted loudly: "You are definitely not Xu Chen!"

Not only the eyes of Lu Hao and Zhou Kang, but even Zhou Xiyu also turned his head and looked at Ming Xuan with a hint of doubt.

Ming Xuan took two steps forward, stared at Zhou Kang and said, "You are not Xu Chen! Where is he? Let him come out!"

Zhou Kang looked deeply at the monk in front of him and asked, "Have you seen my eldest brother?"

Ming Xuan smiled, smiling very happily: "No! never!"

"Then how do you know I'm not ......"

Ming Xuan, who succeeded in his plan, replied very cheerfully: "I just knew!"

Zhou Kang's bloodshot eyes were filled with a chill, but he didn't say a word, just stared at Ming Xuan.

"What about Xu Chenren, let him come out and take the order!"

Ming Xuan became more and more convinced that something big must have happened in the Wuwei army! And this matter is very likely to be related to Xu Chen himself!

Xu Chen, it's very likely that he is not in the camp!

Even Ming Xuan was surprised by this conclusion, but his tentative deception just now made him firm up to this seemingly incredible conclusion.

No wonder Xiangye sent several groups of people, but there was not the slightest news! Now it seems that those people are only afraid that they have already been poisoned!

No wonder the Wuwei army stagnated in front of the gourd pass, it turned out that the main general was missing!

This...... This......

God help me!

Zhou Xiyu, who also saw the abnormality, was overjoyed, originally after seeing the "military appearance" of the Wuwei Army, Zhou Xiyu was still thinking hard about how to rely on more than ten people around him to win the military power of the Wuwei Army.

But I didn't expect that Xu Chen, the chief general of the Wuwei Army, was not in the camp!

It doesn't matter where he goes, just one offense of desertion can make him completely finished!

"What about people, what about Xu Chen, what about others, let him take the order!" Zhou Xiyu, who was determined in his heart, shouted happily.

Unexpectedly, the more than 100 teenagers behind Lu Hao slowly surrounded Zhou Xiyu and others.

Although they were not ordered, at this moment, they had come to their senses.

Looking at these young men who were eyeing them fiercely, Zhou Xiyu was startled and said angrily: "What do you want to do? I am the new commander of the Wuwei Army in the imperial court! Do you dare to commit a crime?"

The boys remained unmoved, but aimed their weapons at everyone.

Facing these indifferent gazes, a chill surged in Mingxuan's heart. Turning his head to look around, he shouted at the auxiliaries in the battalion, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you come to meet the new general?"

The honest auxiliaries looked at this side blankly, completely at a loss. Instead, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground got up, but they only stopped and watched.

Zhou Kang glanced coldly at these young soldiers, and the soldiers turned their heads one after another, refusing to look at them.

Ming Xuan, who noticed Zhou Kang's movements, was slightly surprised, and his heart suddenly brightened, so he shouted at those soldiers: "You are the soldiers of the Wuwei Army, right?

When the young soldiers heard this, their eyes panicked, and in the crowd, even the soldiers moved their eyes to the blades on the ground.

Zhou Kang was startled and was about to wave his hand to let the brothers beside him attack, but was interrupted by a long laugh from the gate of the camp.

"Haha, it's really hilarious! Did you know that I had beaten the head tiger, so you came to greet me?"
