Chapter 582: Joy in Action
This woman in white is naturally the young sect leader of the Moon Worship Sect, Wu Zhao is also. The deep conversation with Liu Zhong that night did not make her give up her determination to kill Happy, on the contrary, it aroused her ambition and pride even more, no matter what the result was, she had to compete with Happy, otherwise she would not be willing for the rest of her life.
Therefore, that night, after Liu Zhong left, Wu Zhao came to Jeju non-stop and started the layout.
Although the Great Elder Taishang and Liu Zhong did not explicitly stop their actions, they did not intend to turn their faces with Xingzhen, and there was also the relationship between Wu Shun, it was impossible for Wu Zhao to worship the Moon Sect with all his strength and happiness, and it was because she was behind the scenes, helping the Zhang family as much as possible, so as to reap the benefits.
In troubled times, heroes must emerge in large numbers, and bandits are rampant. In the entire territory of Northern Qi, except for the area under the jurisdiction of Gao Changgong and Xingxing, there are many bandits and robbers in the deep mountains and dense forests in other places.
Wu Zhao is talented, coupled with the cultivation of the Moon Worship Sect with all his might, although his martial arts are not as good as Xing Xing and Xiao Ling, he is also one of the few masters among the younger generation. In this way, with the help of the elite of the Lunatic Cult, Wu Zhao quickly recovered more than a dozen bandit dens with a thunderous force, and their role was to monitor any transportation artery from Qingzhou to the north.
Zhang Rong and the others were worried and happy, and they must be in a hurry, so they must be riding horses, and in order to save time, they will only choose to walk on the official road. Although Zhang Rong and the others dressed up in disguise and kept paying attention to their hidden whereabouts, under the pressure of the Lunatic Cult, they had to go north along the two provinces of Jiangsu and Shandong, after all, only within the sphere of influence of the happy father and son could they get the greatest help.
Wu Zhaozhi is almost demonic, and he is the biggest black hand behind the scenes, all of this is completely under her control, and it is because of her that she will wait for Zhang Rong and others with the seemingly most stupid method of waiting for the rabbit. According to Brother Leopard's description, and thinking of Zhang Rong's good martial arts, Wu Zhao finally confirmed that Zhang Rong and his people had entered Jeju.
Jeju City has changed hands several times, but now it has finally calmed down, perhaps because of the joy of staying in Jeju, the worries and fears of the people in the city have disappeared, and the smiles on their faces under the hope are also brighter and more real, adding a bit of prosperity to this somewhat bleak and empty Jeju City.
Although the defenders of Jeju City with only 2,000 are a bit thin, no one dares to attack Jeju at this juncture when the situation is unclear. Not to mention that the army of Joy is nearby, and Jeju was once an empty city, and there is not much oil and water, so the surrounding heroes can't be guilty of this, and Happiness finally attracts his crazy revenge.
Outside a house at the southern gate of Jeju City, a ragged and unkempt beggar huddled in a corner, motionless, not knowing whether he was enduring hunger or sickness, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of his breathing, the guards guarding the gate would have been thrown out of the city as a dead man.
"Bang bang!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from outside the open gate, and the ten soldiers guarding the gate immediately followed the sound vigilantly. No one noticed, the beggar huddled in the corner trembled slightly after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, and under his unkempt hair, a pair of dark and bright eyes flashed, and he was staring straight out of the city.
"Stop coming, dismount!" The guards shouted loudly and stopped the comers, but it was six knights. However, their appearance looked slightly embarrassed, their faces were agitated, their breath was short, their clothes were disheveled, and a little blood could be seen on careful observation.
Sensing the bloody aura on the six knights, the ten soldiers at the city gate immediately clenched their blades and tightly surrounded them, and the leader of them asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Where do you come from, where are you going, and are there any customs clearance documents? ”
"Master Jun, we are merchants in Tongzhou City, and we want to go to Yecheng to procure, but we have just met bandits, so we will be so embarrassed." A knight stepped forward with a smile on his face, and as he explained, he took a scroll of paper from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to the chief.
The look of wariness on the leader's face did not diminish in the slightest, and he glanced coldly at the six of them, and then looked at what was in his hand. At this glance, the leader's eyes were condensed, this document was real, as if it were fake, but what surprised him was the following payment, which turned out to be the seal of Zhang Diao, the governor of Jiangsu.
"What are the identities of these people, and they are related to Governor Zhang Diao?" Although he was puzzled, the leader did not dare to ask, and handed back the document in his hand to the knight, his expression was slightly gloomy, and his tone was much soothed: "You go in, but you must abide by the laws and regulations of the city, and if you disobey, you will be punished!" ”
"Thank you, Master Jun!" The knight smiled and thanked him, arched his hand, glanced at the five behind him, and then walked to the city first. The other five followed, and when they entered the city, there was a clear look of relaxation on their faces.
"Adults, okay!"
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice sounded, and the six knights were all startled, and their faces changed greatly, as if they were facing a great enemy, only to realize that it was a beggar with a slender figure blocking the way.
"Where are the beggars, don't get out of the way!" The knight who spoke was dressed in black, his body was a little thin, and his eyes were full of evil, obviously very dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of the beggar.
"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." The beggar suddenly raised his head, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and whispered in response.
The six knights suddenly changed color, especially the black-clothed knight who had just scolded the beggar, and shouted in horror: "Say, who are you?" What an attempt! Xu was excited, his voice was a little distorted, not as heavy as before, and a little sharper.
What the beggar said was a sentence in "Qingping Tune", which was made by praising Zhang Lihua's beauty when he was happy to be in Yecheng Drunken Moon Tower, which was widely spread all over the world, and it was this poem that touched Zhang Lihua's heart. Now the beggar suddenly recited this poem, and his eyes were full of deep meaning, which immediately alerted the six knights.
"Childe has gone south, a few people stay in Jeju with peace of mind, don't leave without permission." The beggar whispered solemnly and sincerely, then bowed to the six, and at the same time stretched out his black hands to beg for everyone, and a golden light flashed in his palm.
Seeing the fleeting golden light, except for the middle one of the six people, the other five were stunned, their eyes were full of brilliance, and then they looked at the beggar with no evil spirit, and a little more eager.
"Did Childe really go south?" The thin black knight stepped forward and asked in a low voice as he took a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and placed them in his hands.
"Yes." The beggar nodded, and then bowed to a few people and said: "Thank you for the gifts of a few adults, and the small ones are grateful, I only hope that the heavenly gods will bless a few adults with many blessings and a long and healthy life!" The beggar thanked him, then staggered back to the corner, and continued to shone back.
"Brother Rong, did you say that the beggar said it was true?" The black knight glanced at the silent beggar in the corner of the wall suspiciously, and said hesitantly.
"You have also seen the token in his hand, which you can't hold unless you're a close confidant of your son." The knight who had just negotiated with the guards of the city said: "This is not the place to talk, let's find a place to rest first, eat and sleep all the way, we are good martial arts practitioners, and my mother can't be tired." ”
"Out of the way!" It was the middle of the team who spoke, dressed in green clothes, his breath was the most faint and weak, and his forehead was even more sweaty, "As long as their father and son are still alive, it is worth my suffering." ”
Three of the other five looked at each other, and they all saw the firmness and relief in each other's eyes. The men agreed, and they stopped standing still and marched together towards the city.
When the six horsemen had gone away, the beggar in the corner suddenly stretched, as if he had just woken up from a great dream, and he straightened his unkempt hair, and then slowly got up to see the sun gradually setting in the west towards the city.
……
At the beginning of May, the moonlight was very light and the light was dim, which was a good weather for murder and arson.
In an inconspicuous and dilapidated courtyard, there were fifty men in black standing quietly and solemnly, with a restrained breath, and if you didn't look at them, you could hardly find them. In the middle of the night, the courtyard door opened from the outside, and a young man in black pushed the door in.
The man in black in the courtyard bowed down at the same time and saluted: "Captain! Their voices were cold and merciless, and they were filled with a murderous aura.
"It's all here!" The young man in black nodded lightly, and strode in front of everyone, revealing his appearance in the faint moonlight, but it was an ordinary face that could not be more ordinary, but those eyes were extraordinarily attentive, and if the six knights who entered the city in the afternoon saw it, they would be surprised, because this person was the beggar who begged for them.
"The princess and her wife have stayed at the Rifle Inn in the city, and we will do everything we can to keep them safe until the prince arrives." The black-clothed captain glanced at everyone with a majestic look, and said coldly: "From now on, anyone who comes from an unknown place and dares to approach the princess and several ladies, no matter what their identity, will be killed!" ”
"Yes!" The fifty black-clothed men looked awe-inspired, and replied in a deep voice, although the voice was low and suppressive, but it was full of murderous energy.
"Okay, action!" The young man in black had a twinkle in his eyes and waved his hand violently.
After receiving the order, the fifty black-clothed people in front of them took action one after another, scattered as birds and beasts, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the black-clothed young man in the entire courtyard.
The young man in black looked up at a crescent moon in the sky, a cold smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were extremely firm: Childe, don't worry, even if I am broken to pieces, I will never let the princess be hurt in the slightest.
……
Zhang Rong has been able to take charge of the Moon Worship Sect for many years, and her mind is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, it is because of this journey that she can be safe and sound with several women, but they are worried and happy, and they have weaknesses to follow, so they completely fell into Wu Zhao's calculations.
Wu Zhao could guess Zhang Rong's plan, how could he not be happy to be familiar with Zhang Rong's female personality? Happy has never been a passive person, how could he be tied up when the Zhang family and the Lunatic Cult were acting. At the same time as he left Jinyang, his intelligence agencies also took action, and the Dragon Soul Squad was his biggest hole card.
