Chapter 34: An Attack from Changping County

Subsequently, Tang Xiao quietly checked the information of the Ghost Celestial Master.

I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.

The land they are stepping on is called Qiming Island, and the monks in Qiming Island often have the highest cultivation level only in the Jindan realm due to lack of resources and defects in the exercises, but there are also people who have broken through the peak of Jindan and entered the next level of Yuanying cultivation.

There have been nine such people.

It is called the Nine Legends of Qiming Island.

And the Ghost Celestial Master is one of these nine legends.

At the beginning, after the Ghost Celestial Master broke through to the cultivation of Yuanying, he was feared by the authorities of Qiming Island, and was finally forced to leave Qiming Island, and there has been no news in Qiming Island since then.

But he didn't expect that he would have a relationship with the descendants of the Ghost Heavenly Master today, and according to Mu Huanyang, it was not Mu Huanyang who came to join him, but Mu Huanyang's entire family could be used as his help.

It kept him awake all night.

Then, the next day, a piece of news instantly extinguished his excitement.

The army sent by Changping County to conquer them has already set off!

According to Wu Liu'er, who used the news that was quietly transmitted by the messenger stone sparrow, Changping County sent nine foundation building monks to lead nearly 900 people to crusade against them this time.

Looking at this stance, it seems that they are not opponents at all.

However, Tang Xiao's first reaction after receiving this news was that the other party only had nine foundation building monks, not fifty foundation building monks, it seems that the battle on Caoji Mountain was not lost in vain, and the 7 people who trusted him did not die in vain.

It was their sacrifice that brought a glimmer of life this time.

And Tang Xiao has just accepted a nephew, and his heart is much calmer, even if Mu Huanyang's family has already explained that in the future, he will only send Mu Huanyang, a foundation-building monk, to help him, he is sure to win this game now.

Just as Wu Liuer asked him to take Changping County within a month, he also confidently agreed.

What's more, it was much better than he had originally expected.

It's even so good that this time he doesn't have to exchange a miserable victory for the opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger as he planned before.

However, a bloody battle is still inevitable.

He immediately ordered that the city gates be closed, the spies should be investigated, and all arms should be prepared for war!

Tang Xiao had already asked Lao Zhangtou to monitor the whole city before, as long as he saw someone indiscriminately inquiring about their information and would not leave, they would all be strictly monitored.

At this time, it is to catch these people uniformly and then investigate them one by one.

This really led him to discover several spies sent by the county government to lurk.

After sorting out the interior, Tang Xiao asked people to set traps outside the city, whether it was useful or not, it would definitely cause trouble to the army attacking outside the city.

In the evening, the army of the county government came to the city of Luoxian in an orderly manner.

The army began to deploy, preparing to surround Luo County.

And someone is specifically responsible for cutting off the passage between Luo County and Caoji Mountain, so as to prevent the thieves in the county from escaping back into the mountains.

Hearing the news that the county government was coming to crusade, many people were panicked.

These people not only include the rebels of Caojishan, but also the ordinary people of Luo County, and it is the ordinary people who suffer in the end of any war.

Of course, there are also people who are happy.

There was even a person in the state capital of Xizhou who heard the news that the county government had sent troops to attack Luo County, and he was so excited that he cried with joy on the spot.

That is Han Bin, the second son of Han who escaped from Luo County.

Han Bin had already learned that the fall of Luo County at that time was a complete scam.

So he hated Tang Xiao very much.

It was this traitor who defrauded his family of glory and wealth.

Now he has defected to his family in Xizhou, he is a lost dog, and he has to look at people's faces everywhere.

He even begged the people of his family to stand up for his family, but was sneered at by the people of his family: "Isn't it just a group of peasant bandits who are making a fuss? As for making such a fuss? Only if your father is so stupid and falls for the other party's tricks, will a good Luo County fall into the hands of the thieves." ”

That's why he was so excited when he heard the news that the county government had sent troops.

He immediately asked the family for an identity, and the elders of the family saw that he was also surnamed Han, and the family had just died, and if he didn't take him in, he would be said to be cold, so he promised to give him a very low position.

He kowtowed like a licking dog and thanked him, and then went to the county government in person with this identity, so as to receive the news of Luo County's recovery as soon as possible.

And in Luo County, Tang Xiao looked at the enemy army under the city, with a calm face, and even his eyes rolled as if he was looking for someone.

It wasn't until Tang Xiao saw three rows of red lanterns hanging among the enemy soldiers that a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He turned his head to Mu Huanyang on the side and said, "Tonight, during the third watch, I need to bother my nephew to take a trip out of the city with a red handkerchief......

What surprised the Cao Ji Mountain rebels in Luo County was that after the county government army came outside the city, they did not rush to attack, but directly set up camp after besieging Luo County, as if they had just come to talk about friendship and peace.

But it is certain that the army of the county government is by no means here to play, and they will soon attack.

Needless to say, if you don't move now, it is very likely that you are waiting for the spies in the city to pass on the information, and if you can't receive the information, then you will attack at night after the third watch.

Tang Xiao has already guessed this.

At the third watch, Mu Huanyang quietly went out of the city.

He is a ghost cultivator, and what he is best at is lurking and assassinating.

When he sneaked into Tang Xiao's study and was discovered by Tang Xiao, he was surprised, because his stealth technique was difficult to detect even in the face of monks of the same realm.

When he arrived outside the city, he didn't walk for long, and when he came to the designated place that Tang Xiao asked him to go, he saw a red handkerchief tied to a small sapling there, and he decisively took out the red handkerchief he brought and tied it under the red handkerchief.

Then a man walked out of the shadows a hundred meters away, smiled at him, and said, "Come with me." ”

Mu Huanyang was not suspicious, and immediately followed.

Because all this is the same as what Tang Xiao said to him, someone will come out to answer him after seeing his behavior.

The two walked further into a small wood.

The man stopped, looked at Mu Huanyang and said in surprise, "Monk Zhuji?"

Mu Huanyang said: "Well, didn't you guess that there would be a foundation building monk on our side? We still have many secrets that outsiders don't know. ”

The man said, "That's better." It was Liu'er who asked me to help you. ”

Mu Huanyang said: "I thanked you for our husband." But we would like to know more about you so that we can facilitate his deployment. ”

"Didn't Liu'er introduce me to you?"

"We only know that you are the county commander of Huai County next door, your name is Pang Ye, and you are also one of the foundation building monks who came to fight together at the sign of the county government this time. We don't know the rest. Mu Huanyang answered truthfully what he knew.

Pang Ye said: "It's enough to know this. ”

"We also want to know where your troops are stationed. ”

Pang Ye didn't reply, but directly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mu Huanyang.

Mu Huanyang spread out the paper and looked at it by the moonlight, only to see that it was the garrison map of the government army, not only marking the tent of each enemy commander, but also writing the stationing of each army clearly.

The two county commanders of the county government were respectively responsible for guarding the road from Luo County to their respective county seats, so as to prevent the people of Luo County from spreading to the next county seat.

After Mu Huanyang put away the paper, he smiled heartily: "Then it's my turn to introduce myself." My name is Mu Huanyang, you can call me Yang. Tonight's action is for me to cooperate with you. I'm good at assassination. ”

Pang Ye grinned: "Okay!"
