This time, the four million soldiers who were able to successfully take the camp of the Chu brothers and accept the surrender were thanks to the brothers of Hou Zhen who immediately expressed their support for Zhang Jun's mutiny. There are also those angry soldiers of the firearms army, some of whom did not believe what Zhang Jun said, and later, under the proof of all the officers and men of the firearms army, they believed that what Zhang Jun said was true.

The total number of soldiers defending the city in the Red Flame Pass was less than 6 million, and this also included the newly replenished soldiers and some of the empty salaries.

And now there are more than 5 million people who are desperately following Zhang Jun, and the part of the soldiers who defend the city did not hear Zhang Jun's inciting words, but they were persuaded by Qi Fengyang's men to surrender to Zhang Jun's command.

Zhang Jun received Qi Fengyang's report, knew that the overall situation had been decided, and took the personal guards straight to the palace of the third prince Jiang Kang, Jiang Kang's palace was not far from the palace where Zhang Jun lived, and it was all on the same street.

Zhang Jun came to the gate of Jiang Kang's palace, but he didn't see the personal soldiers of the Chu brothers, and he didn't even see Jiang Kang's personal guards. I couldn't help but feel a little strange, but I still stepped into the palace.

The gate of the palace is hidden, Zhang Jun gently pushed, the whole golden lacquer door opened, to see that there was no one inside, feeling terrible, Zhang Jun was alert, did not continue to move forward, but sent a personal guard, the first to go in to check, not long after the personal soldiers returned, empty inside no one.

Zhang Jun secretly said that it was bad, it must have been the news of the mutiny, so that the Chu brothers and Jiang Kang heard the news and fled. The three of them could have been used to coerce the imperial court not to act rashly, but now there is no way to implement this strategy.

Zhang Jun then went to the mansion of the Chu brothers and found that like the palace of the three princes, no one was left.

"Huang Lian sent people to check on the city gates, but did anyone find the traces of Chu Shuai and others?"

Two hours later, Huang Lian returned from the four city gates.

"Back to the marshal, no one found Chu Shuai's traces, and after blocking the city gate, no one even entered or exited from the city gate. ”

"It's strange, could it be that there is also a space gate in Chu Shuai's mansion? even a space gate can't transport tens of thousands of people away at once?" Zhang Jun said in his heart. The Chu brothers' clansmen and Jiang Kang brought at least thirty or forty thousand soldiers, and it was impossible for the Space Gate to have such a large transportation capacity in a few hours.

"Strictly investigate whether there are secret passages in the palace of Chu Shuai and the third prince, and order the four city gates to be closed for three days and search the whole city, and report to me immediately if you find anything. Inform all the officers and men that the Chinese army camp will assemble tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, the villain will do it right away. Huang Lian answered the call and went to give the order, and did not stop for a moment.

When Zhang Jun returned to his palace, it was already evening, he prepared some wine and food, and sent people to invite a few masters and Guan Xiang to have dinner together and discuss important matters.

Several masters soon came to the palace, during this time, the four of them discussed martial arts, complementing each other, it is indeed a lot of progress in cultivation, Zeng Yan is already a master of the double peak of the Xuanwu Mirror, Ouyang Ye and Xie Xianren have also entered the peak of the Xuanwu Mirror, I believe that they will have the opportunity to advance immediately. The biggest change is Feng Feng, who has directly stepped from the ninefold peak of the Huangwu Mirror to the second level of the Xuanwu Mirror, and has crossed two stages.

The main reason is that the flesh of the black corpse insect is powerful, and Zhang Jun gave each person a basin-sized treasure of this heaven and earth.

"Jun'er, how come you have time to take care of a few of us old immortals today?" Ouyang Ye said with a smile.

"You are the one who is immortal, I live well, I don't want to die so early, I want to watch Jun'er grow step by step. Xie Xianren was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Ye's words, and the interface was to refute.

"Jun'er, if you eat wine, I won't participate, the Xuanwu Mirror Double that has just broken through has not been consolidated yet?

"It's rare that Jun'er has time to greet a few of us, usually the girl in the box is to accompany you, do you have a chance to have a drink with Jun'er?" Zeng Yan's words made Zhang Jun's face red, these days he really ignored the feelings of the four masters.

"Four masters, four fathers-in-law, this matter is indeed Jun'er's mistake, please forgive me" Zhang Jun stepped forward and was about to kneel down, but was pulled by the four masters.

"Okay, it's just to tease you, how can there be so much attention between father and son,"

"Hey, why didn't that girl come to Guan Xiang?"

"The four fathers, I have already sent someone to call, it should be there soon, I usually don't dare to disturb the cultivation of the four fathers, but today I have something important to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter? Could it be that the Yunyang Kingdom is attacking the city?" Feng Feng said.

"No, the negotiations of Yunyang Kingdom have not yet been completed, it is estimated that there are firearms troops, and they will not dare to attack the city easily. ”

"What's the big deal with that?Oh, I know, are you going to marry a daughter-in-law?hehe......" Ouyang Ye stepped forward to talk.

"So what's the matter? Guan Xiang and I are still young, and we haven't thought about it yet. ”

"Could it be....... Are you talking about long live?" Zeng Yan said.

"It's about it, but it's much more serious than it. ”

"I really guessed it, when you just sent someone to say that there was something important to discuss, I guessed that it should be related to the matter of Long Live the day before yesterday, but you don't have to be afraid, I have already sent a book to Emperor Zeng yesterday, explaining that all this has nothing to do with you, and I will help you deal with this matter father-in-law." Zeng Yan comforted Zhang Jun and said.

"Father Zeng's problem now is not Emperor Zeng, but in the imperial court, this is a message from someone from Dongshan Academy inside the imperial court, you can understand it by looking at it" Zhang Jun handed the secret letter to Zeng Yan. 、

The other three were confused.

"What long live thing?......

Zhang Jun then told the three masters about the whole city's long live call.

The three masters immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, but they were afraid that it could not be solved by King Huai's three sentences or two sentences. Since ancient times, the taboo is that the merit is high and the master, Zhang Jun is not only the master of high merit, but also the love of the people, I am afraid that it is difficult to be good in this matter.

"These courtiers are bad for me and mislead the country! The Eight Kings are especially hateful. Wait for me to go back and see how I clean him up" Zeng Yan was furious, the emperor and Zeng Yan finally had a harmonious relationship with Zhang Jun, the matter of long live was not Zhang Jun's intention, King Huai had already sent a letter to explain the situation to Emperor Zeng. But the Eight Kings made a big fuss about this matter and convicted Zhang Jun of a heinous crime.

"Jun'er, what do you think of this matter?But is there any countermeasure?No matter what you do, I support your decision," Ouyang Ye took the lead and said.

"Yes, Jun'er, don't worry, I will never let anyone touch a single hair of you" Xie Xianren also expressed support for any decision made by Zhang Jun.

"Jun'er, I will immediately spread the news that all the masters of Dongshan Academy will come to protect you, whoever dares to touch you, Dongshan Academy and him are incompatible. ”

Zeng Yan didn't say anything, and the three of them all looked at Zeng Yan with wide eyes.

"Don't worry, Jun'er is my righteous son, and I will never dare to do anything to Jun'er in the royal family" Zeng Yan looked at the posture of the three of them, if he objected, he was afraid that he would fight on the spot, even if his martial arts were higher than the other three, but two fists were hard to beat four hands. What's more, Zeng Yan is very optimistic about Zhang Jun, and he sincerely accepts him as his righteous son, how can he let Zhang Jun get hurt?

"It's about the same" The three of them sighed secretly, if Zeng Yan wanted to maintain the royal family, this battle was inevitable, but even if the three of them did it with all their might, they were afraid that it would be difficult to resist Zeng Yan's offensive. Seeing Zeng Yan's statement to protect Zhang Jun, they were all relieved.

"Four fathers, I am not looking for you for protection, but to see how the following matters should be handled. ”

"Not protection, so what are you discussing with us?" all four of them were very strange. Isn't Zhang Jun afraid of the royal family and major families turning against each other?

"Let me tell you the truth, the Red Flame Pass is now in my hands, and six million soldiers have been surrendered to me, and only a few generals who have violated the law and discipline have been imprisoned by me. The Chu brothers had already fled and hid,........" Zhang Jun told the four of them what had happened, and of course concealed the conversation with Ling Feng and them.

"Hey, I thought I could serve the royal family for the last time, and let you, a genius in the world, help the royal family expand its territory and win the world. I want to harm you for my own selfish interests, I'm old, and I won't care about their affairs in the future, Jun'er, what should you do. Don't think about your father's face. ”

"My Huai Wang Palace is the first of the top ten sects, there are many top masters who have been hidden by me, here is a roster and the treasure ring of the palace master of Huai Wang Palace, my father's Huai Wang Palace will be owned by you from now on, on one side is the family royal family, on the other hand is Jun'er you, I can only help each other, I will meditate on cultivation in the future." ”

Zeng Yan knew that the mutiny was irreparable, and he was blind to the hard work he had paid for the future of the royal family for most of the past half a year, Zhang Jun was already full-fledged, and the contradictions between the royal family were irreconcilable, I hope Zhang Jun would not fight with the royal family, otherwise it would definitely be a disaster for the royal family, and it was possible that the Zeng family that had been thousands of years would be destroyed because of this.

After Zeng Yan finished speaking, his face was full of shame, and he turned around and left the palace.

Zhang Jun did not stop Zeng Yan from leaving, and Zhang Jun could still understand the loss at this moment.

"Three Fathers, I need your help, I want to use the Red Flame Pass as the foundation to build an army that is completely mine,"

"This is easy to do, I will take out all the weapons in the Refining Sect, at least enough for millions of troops. After transferring refiners and students to the Red Flame Pass, there is no problem in building a refining sect. I'll go to the site tomorrow to rebuild. ”

"The millions of pharmacists and massive pills in the Medicine King Valley, I can be transferred to the Red Flame Pass immediately, and I will go to the site selection with you Ouyang tomorrow. ”

"Jun'er, Dongshan Academy respects you, and it is not a big deal to move Dongshan Academy to Chiyan Pass, you can just leave it to me. ”

After the three fathers finished speaking, they left in a hurry without drinking a sip of wine.
