Su Sheng hibernated in Dadu and didn't mention it for the time being, and said that after Wen Xuan and Mu Chong took Han Lingyue to hide in the secret passage that day, for safety reasons, it took two days to lean out from the exit.

After Han Lingyue woke up, Wen Xuan and Mu Chong told the truth about Sesame Li's arrangement, Han Lingyue cried with grief in her heart, and when she went out of the secret passage and learned that none of the soldiers and civilians in the city survived, and Sesame Li's beloved daughter was waiting for her to die, Han Lingyue only felt that her liver and gallbladder were broken, and she actually vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Wen Xuan and Mu Chong didn't expect that Tokh would not even let go of the people in the city, a city that was thriving a few days ago has now become a dead city, and the smell of blood emitted from inside and outside the city has not yet dissipated, and only many people recruited by the Yuan soldiers are still cleaning the battlefield to prevent the plague.

The three of them were sad in their hearts, and they erected three tombstones for Sesame Li and his children to pay tribute to them and the Red Turban Army who fought to the last moment in the city.

Han Lingyue personally engraved the words "Mingjiao Holy Daughter Li" on the tablet of Sesame Li's daughter, and immediately said that she was no longer worthy of shouldering the position of a saint, and that the Li girl who died Mingzhi was the real saint of Mingjiao.

Seeing this, Wen Xuan and Mu Chong also engraved the words "Precept Hall Master" and "Deputy Hall Master" on the stele of Sesame Li and his righteous son, in memory of Sesame Li and others.

After the battle of Xuzhou, Han Lingyue became silent, neither shouting for revenge nor scolding the Yuan soldiers, and had a serious illness the next day.

Fortunately, because of Li Nanniang, Mu Chong also knew a little about medical skills, and immediately saw that Han Lingyue was caused by days of fatigue and rapid fire, and he needed to find a place to recuperate for a period of time.

Wen Xuan suggested: "If you talk about recuperation, Sanssouci Island is the best place to go, but the road is far away and bumpy, and it is easy to aggravate Yue'er's condition, so we might as well go to Haozhou for the time being, and we can also inquire about Ying'er's news." ”

Mu Chong said with some concern: "But after I heard that after the detachment of the division, Jia Lu was left to lead the rest of the men and horses to besiege Haozhou, if we enter the city before the Yuan soldiers besiege the city, if Haozhou is lost......"

Wen Xuan shook his head: "Don't worry, Jia Lu is a civil official, and his subordinates are not too unhelpful to help people like Li Chahan, so they must not be able to conquer Haozhou." ”

Mu Chong didn't know why Wen Xuan was so sure, but he still nodded and agreed.

The three of them plastered their faces and made their clothes dirty, Wen Xuan carried Han Lingyue on his back, and pretended to be a hungry fleeing man along the way and went straight to Haozhou, plus the shadow guards trained by the two in Henan were also scattered in the battle of Xuzhou, so there was no news on the way.

When Wen Xuan arrived in Haozhou, after learning that there was a Marshal Guo Zixing Guo in the city, his heart relaxed, and told Mu Chong with certainty: "Ying'er is also in the city nine times out of ten, and it is very likely that she is in Guo's mansion." ”

Sesame Li's righteous son prepared a lot of silver money in the bags for them, so Wen Xuan and Mu Chong didn't have to worry about the expenses, and after entering the city, they picked an inn with the best environment to stay, and invited a few Lang Zhong to treat Han Lingyue.

After resting for many days, Han Lingyue's condition finally improved, but the whole person was still weak, Wen Xuan took care of her without leaving the bedside, and Mu Chong went out to inquire about the news.

According to Wen Xuan's meaning, the top priority was to send the news that they were still alive back to Sanssouci Island, so as not to worry others, but there were no shadow guards around the two of them to delay.

This problem was solved after Mu Chong went out to investigate for the first time, it turned out that Peng Da and Zhao Junyong were also in the city at this time, and when the two of them left Xuzhou that day, Wen Xuan had left some shadow guards in their troops to keep track of their movements.

Mu Chong quickly found a way to find a few old subordinates and asked them to send the news that he and Wen Xuan were safe back to Sanssouci Island, in case Wen Xianzhong and the others were worried.

With someone available, Wen Xuan can do more, and the first thing is to figure out the situation in Haozhou City now.

With Mu Chong's own work, within a few days, Wen Xuan had already figured out the situation in Haozhou City, don't look at Haozhou City, which is not big, but there are many branches of the righteous army gathered in the city.

Not to mention that Peng Da and Zhao Jun, who came later, used two people, and there were five leaders of the uprising, and the most prestigious of these five people were Guo Zixing and Sun Deya.

The other four people, including Sun Deya, were originally Guo Zixing's friends in the rivers and lakes, and when they heard that Guo Zixing was preparing to rebel, they brought their own people to Haozhou to defect.

At first, the five groups worked together to resist Dong Quanxiao, but there was no contradiction, until Dong Kuanxiao was transferred to Jiangnan by the Yuan court to attack Hangzhou, and after the siege of Haozhou was lifted, contradictions began to arise between the five marshals.

The other four marshals led by Guy Sun Deya were all born as horse thieves and grass thieves, and they were all born poor, had no education, and began to think about drinking and having fun all day long after there were no foreign enemies, and when the military salary was not enough, they sent people to loot the traders and people around Haozhou, which caused Guo Zixing to be very dissatisfied.

Guo Zixing tried several times to persuade them but to no avail, so he sulked and closed the door, and stayed at home and no longer cared about the affairs in the city.

At this time, Peng Da and Zhao Junyong settled in Haozhou with their subordinates, whether it was on the qualifications in the rivers and lakes, or on the status of the Red Turban Righteous Army, the two of them were far beyond Guo Zixing's five people, so the high-flying Zhao Junyong wanted to give them a dismount as soon as he entered the city, and ordered the five people to go to his residence for a banquet.

Guo Zixing was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that the two newcomers were also born as thieves, he was even more unhappy, so he didn't give Zhao Jun this face.

After Sun Deya had a disagreement with Guo Zixing, he thought that he always despised him, so he resented him, so he took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, and privately told Zhao Junyong that Guo Zixing only respected the Peng family and his son, and did not take his surname Zhao in his eyes.

Zhao Junyong was extremely dissatisfied with Guo Zixing because of this, and his relationship with the Peng family's father and son was not very good, so he simply made the first move and recruited Sun Deya and the other four to set up Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing was only afraid at this time, so in order to save his life, he had to go to Peng Da for help, so he stood with the Peng family father and son, so the city of Haozhou is now divided into two factions.

Although the two factions guarded the same city, but they all looked at each other unpleasantly, fighting and noisy things almost every day, until the recent fall of Xuzhou, I heard that Tokhtar sent Jia Lu to attack Haozhou, they shook hands again, and temporarily united together.
