Chapter Eighty-Four: The World Knows Hezhou

In the next two days, Yao Ruoyu stayed in the Xu family's Earth Demon Tongyuan Palace, and began to modify the spirit array in the hall, especially to eliminate the Earth Demon Yin Power in it, which was even more complicated and heavy, and if he was not careful, not only would he be invaded by this Yin force, but he would also disperse the Earth Demon Yin Force outside the mansion and harm the city, so he couldn't help but be careless.

During the period when Yao Ruoyu was concentrating on modifying the Spirit Array, Xu Xuanrong had already recruited a total of 600 soldiers in the two cities of Hezhou City and Diaoyu City, all of which were at the level of the Second Realm, plus the weapons and armor left by the defenders before, they barely had a bit of the momentum of the army.

After the army was recruited, under the arrangement of Xu Xuanrong, the three hundred defenders led by Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, plus the Luo family and the Bai family, joined forces and raided the wildfire thieves branch located in the west of the city with lightning speed.

Wan Yanye, who heard this, was naturally furious, but when he led the army to the outside of Hezhou City with great momentum, he saw that the city was full of bows and arrows, and several city-breaking ballistae were placed on a high place, aiming at him from afar, and even Bai Junru and a group of spirit masters from the White Crane Academy were standing at the head of the city, staring at him.

In the battle with Yao Ruoyu that day, although Wan Yanye fled by himself after being frightened, the injuries left by Yao Ruoyu's sword did not recover so quickly, especially the sword intent on the sword, which remained on his wounds and never dissipated.

Therefore, Wan Yanye, who had not recovered from his injuries, saw that the city was heavily guarded, and Bai Junru was also among them, so he suddenly retreated, and after releasing a few cruel words, he left with people in disgrace.

After seeing Yan Ye leave, the city head naturally cheered constantly, after all, compared to the forces such as the Black Wolf Rider and the Taoyuan Gang, the group of golden dogs of the wildfire thieves was the most hated force by the city lord and the people, so seeing this group of golden dogs leaving in embarrassment, everyone was naturally extremely happy.

However, compared to the joy of others, Xu Xuanrong didn't have much reaction, just said a few words to Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, and then returned to Diaoyu City with people.

And that night, just when most of the people were sleeping, the wildfire thieves suddenly attacked, and after cutting down the defenders at the head of the city, they found that these defenders were all straw dummies, and then Yang Renjie and Fu Feng led the defenders to ambush out from the shadows, first disrupted the formation of the wildfire thieves with rockets, and then led the crowd to cover up and defeat them.

Unwilling to fail, Wanyan Ye simply led people around the city, intending to enter the city from the waterway through the dock. After all, they had occupied the west of the city for many years, and compared to the unfamiliar east of the city, the west of the city was the most suitable place for them to fight.

However, Xu Xuanrong, who had guessed the movement of the wildfire thieves in advance, had already arranged an ambush at the dock, and before the wildfire thieves could touch the shore, the magic circle arranged by the White Crane Academy directly summoned endless clouds and mist to kill all the thieves in the river.

When the plan failed, Wan Yanye made another plan and sent someone to quietly enter the city to contact the remnants of the Xu family, intending to contact them to help the wildfire thieves capture Hezhou City.

But he didn't want to, Xu Xuanrong had already shocked the remnants of the Xu family through the victories in the previous two battles, coupled with the prestige of Yao Ruoyu who slashed the three members of the Xu family with one sword and one sword that day, the remnants of the Xu family had already surrendered to Xu Xuanrong, so as soon as the wildfire thieves left, they immediately notified Xu Xuanrong.

That night, the wildfire thieves came to the city gate as agreed, and saw that the remnants of the Xu family really found an opportunity to help them open the city gate. Ten thousand arrows were fired, only Wan Yanye and a few wildfire thieves escaped from the city, and most of the thieves died under the rain of arrows.

So far, the wildfire thieves have experienced three wars and lost their elites, except for a few people such as Wan Yanye, all of them have died or surrendered, and the wildfire thieves who were still dominant in Hezhou a few days ago have become a thing of the past in a blink of an eye.

*——*——*——*

"What? Yang Yiming died? Wildfire thieves were wiped out? The Xu family in Hezhou was beheaded by the Yao brothers with one sword, the Luo family surrendered, and the Bai family retreated? Doesn't it mean that the city of Hezhou at this moment has been owned by the Yao brothers?"

Looking at Cao Yuying, who also had a complicated expression in front of him, Xu Jingmiao showed a very rare look of shock, and after a long time, he slowly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and muttered: "Unexpected, really unexpected...... Although he saw that Brother Yao was an immortal hero, he did not expect that there would be such a method, and in just a few days, the clouds and rain turned over, and the situation in Hezhou changed like ......"

Cao Yuying's expression was serious, and she shook her head and said: "Hezhou is only half a day's journey from Chongqing, these things have happened for a few days, but Yuying only received information today, this is my dereliction of duty, and then I will admit my mistake, but Yang Yiming, the city guard of Hezhou, is the righteous son of Qin Xiangye, I heard that he is loved by Qin Xiang, although his death has nothing to do with Yao Ruoyu and others, but since they occupy the position of the city lord of Hezhou, I am afraid that Qin Xiang will not give up." ”

Seeing the girl's solemn face, as if she was a big event, Xu Jingmiao smiled unconsciously, got up and helped her up, and chuckled: "Yuying, why do you need to be like this? ”

"What do you say?" Cao Yuying was stunned when she heard this, and wondered.

After a little hesitation, Xu Jingmiao said indifferently: "You also said that Hezhou City is so close to Chongqing, and the news exchange is extremely fast, even if there is a problem on the road, it will be delayed for a day or two at most, such as the destruction of wildfires, maybe it is barely understandable that it will be transmitted back until today, but if Yang Yiming dies, the White Wolf Society, wildfire thieves and Taoyuan Gang have joined forces to besiege the city, but it has been close to seven days, why did it only report today?"

After all, he is the first master of Chongqing, and he is in charge of one party's documents and case files, so Cao Yuying quickly came to her senses, frowned, and said: "My lord is saying that someone deliberately obstructed the transmission of information to me? But in Chongqing today, who can have the means and ability to ...... me?"

Smiling and waving her hand, Xu Jingmiao stopped Cao Yuying's words, and said indifferently: "Since that person is involved in it, presumably this matter has something to do with him, since this is the case, you and I will patiently watch the development of things, and when the time is right, we will naturally be able to know the reason." ”

*——*——*——*

"Stupid!"

With a muffled bang, Chu Zheng slammed his fist on the scroll in front of him, and said angrily again: "It's stupid!"

Among the several sons of the Chu family, Chu Xuan is steady, Chu Yuan is heroic, Chu Hao is unruly, Chu Xuan is generous, Chu Zheng is kind, and the five sons have different temperaments, but in comparison, Chu Zheng, who is a strategist, is actually the most unsuitable for the battlefield, because his temperament is too good.

But at this moment, the rising star of the Chu family exuded a sharp aura that people didn't dare to look at directly, even if he was the most murderous Chu Yuan, he couldn't help but frown secretly.

"Tsk, this time the fifth child is so angry, it looks like he's really angry!" Approaching Chu Xuan's side, Chu Yuan smiled and said in a low voice.

"Well, it's extremely rare, but ......" Retracting his gaze at Chu Yuan, Chu Xuan said lightly, "As an elder brother, you are embarrassed to gloat? ”

"Isn't this just seeing it?" Chu Yuan didn't care about Chu Xuan's contempt, but said with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Dian shook his head with a smile, picked up the information in his hand and looked at it again, and sighed: "I didn't expect this group of people to be so bold that they even dared to take the position of Qin Xiang's subordinates. ”

With a sneer, Chu Hao said lightly: "They have always been very bold, what don't they dare to do?"

Glancing at Chu Hao, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in a deep voice: "This matter came suddenly, but it is extremely fast, I am afraid that at this moment, the spies of the major forces in Chongqing Mansion have already received the news, and this matter cannot be concealed, I don't know what kind of attitude my father will have, and the ...... of Qin Xiang."

Chu Zheng, who was being ruthless, heard what several brothers said, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that my father will already know." ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Chu Yuan was curious: "Old Five, what does this mean? How could my father have known about these things a long time ago?"

"In today's world, how many people can be able to blockade Hezhou City in Chongqing, so that the spies and intelligence of the major forces cannot penetrate it?" Looking around at Chu Xuan and the others, Chu Zheng said bitterly, "One is the commander-in-chief of Chongqing, and the other is my father's ......." ”

"Xu Jingmiao has no need to do this, so it can only be that his father intervened, so that the major forces could not learn about Yao Ruoyu and the others occupying Hezhou City in time," sighed, Chu Zheng smiled bitterly, "Since this is the case, he obviously knew about this matter for a long time." ”

"Why did Father do this?" Chu Xuan frowned, puzzled.

Chu Hao suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said: "In this way, the transfer of the sixth brother to Hunan three days ago to participate in the war against the Southern Barbarians was also intentional by my father, and he deliberately transferred the sixth brother away, so as not to cause trouble because of this matter?"

"Probably so......" Taking a deep breath, Chu Zheng suppressed the anger and furiousness in his heart, then gathered the anger on his face, gently swiped towards Chu Xuan and the others, and sighed, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now." ”

Chu Yuan smiled, waved his hand casually, and grinned: "Old Five, why are you polite to us?"

Seeing that Chu Zheng had calmed down, Chu Xuan sighed and said, "The reason why you are angry is because of those Wu Xue girls, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Yao Ruoyu to be so arrogant, he actually wanted to take charge of a city in the Three Realms, this kind of move is certainly dangerous, but it is not impossible to succeed if it is planned properly," gritting his teeth slightly, Chu Zheng said hatefully, "But it shouldn't be, he shouldn't have pulled Wu Xue into the game!"

"In this way, once things fail, I'm afraid that Wu Xue will also be implicated, and with her strength in the second realm, ......"

His pupils contracted slightly, and Chu Zheng's eyes showed a somewhat indescribable complexity.

“...... How can it be possible to block the thunderous blow of the imperial court?"

*——*——*——*

"Three realms and one city, what a great spirit!"

In the Lantai Pavilion in the Prince's Mansion of Lanzhou City, a young man with sword eyebrows wearing a purple robe was standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky with a cold expression, and holding a bamboo slip in his right hand, on which the details of Yao Ruoyu and others occupying Hezhou City were written.

This young man's eyes are extremely deep, and when he looks at people, he seems to be able to see through the thoughts and thoughts of others at a glance, and even vaguely can see all kinds of calculations in his eyes, as if this person is always calculating and arranging, and there is no moment to stop.

The thumb gently brushed each word on the bamboo slip, and the face of the purple-robed young man was as calm as water, but only those who were familiar with him could see the emotions of worry, joy, concern, and so on.

"Even if I can calculate the thoughts and layouts of everyone in the world, but only you, I can't figure it out, it's not so much that the sword is going sideways, but that your thinking is too whimsical and whimsical, so I can't imagine that you would choose such a difficult path......"

"Three realms and one city, this is better than traveling back...... It's even harder!"
