Lu Yuan hurriedly went down the mountain, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw countless defeated soldiers fleeing back, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrogate, and learned that Li Su had been killed, so he immediately led his troops out of the city to pursue.

It was just a step too late, Mi Yan and Hua Erniang had already led three hundred musketeers to escort Deng Jian and others all the way away, and they didn't know where to go.

As for those underground intelligence agents in China, after handing them over, they found a place to hide themselves.

led the troops to chase for a while, and Lu Yuan, who had found nothing, could only retreat and rush to Guye Peak to report to Sima Fa.

The forces of the two sides were secretly competing, and the people of Daliang County and the Taoist priests of Xuanjiao did not know.

Lu Yuan returned to the mountain and whispered a few words in Sima Fa's ear.

Sima Fa frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Ning Ze.

Ning Ze could see the result from Lu Yuan's expression and demeanor, and faced Sima Fa with a smile.

"Lord Wang is really a good means!" Sima Fa squinted his eyes and said, "Admire, admire!"

"It's too much of a governor!" Ning Ze responded with a smile, "You're not simple. ”

"It's a pity, it's still a bad move. ”

"It's okay! ”

"And next time?" Sima Fa stared at Ning Ze's eyes, "Is this a war letter from me?"

"No, no," Ning Ze hurriedly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Don't be nervous." ”

When the two were talking, Jia Daoren was almost ready, and he happened to come over, so he stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang, the Grand Duke, the preparations for the parade celebration have been completed, and the auspicious time will arrive in a while!"

"That can't be delayed, after all, once in a hundred years, such an important celebration can't be sloppy. Ning Ze smiled, "Metropolitan Governor, what do you have to say after the celebration, how about it?"

"Yes!" Sima Fa looked unpleasant.

Seeing that the two sides seemed to get along well, Jia Daoren was a little relieved.

After the Xuanjiao Centennial Parade Celebration, Ning Ze will definitely find a way to leave Mizhou and return to the territory of Yuanzhou.

Sima Fa was dug into a corner by him, and he failed to intercept it, so that he could be sent away smoothly, of course, he could not suffer any more.

Although the people who were poached were all low-level officials and generals, and the impact was not very great, it was still difficult to accept that they succeeded right under their noses.

After suffering such a loss, he didn't want Ning Ze to continue to succeed.

Ning Ze also has Empress Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang by his side, and at present, only he and his henchmen know about it, so it's better!

As long as you try to get rid of Ning Ze and Liu Yuanxiang secretly, Huaguo will be finished!

These two people are the backbone of Huaguo, and leaving any of them will cause unimaginable turmoil to Huaguo. If the two of them are eliminated together, there will be no threat to Huaguo.

Sima Fa will not let Ning Ze leave smoothly, he will do everything in his power to keep the other party in Daliang County forever.

No one knew about the battle outside the city, and the news of the return of the defeated troops to the city was quickly suppressed to avoid the spread of the news.

Next, try to let Ning Ze and Liu Yuanxiang die in an accident, and complete the goal without letting Xuanjiao be suspicious.

On the surface, he couldn't do anything, but secretly gave Shen Hao more resources and let him act according to the plan.

Before the centennial parade celebration began, he quietly sent someone to send a message to contact Shen Hao, who was hidden in the shadows, and asked him to hurry up.

Shen Hao got the news and hurriedly summoned the four brothers of the Wu family: "The governor has an order, and he wants me to act immediately!"

"Do it at the centennial celebration of Xuanjiao," Wu Wende asked worriedly, "This is not very good, right? On this kind of occasion, even if the people in the government help us and others to infiltrate the city, how can we do it on such a lively occasion?"

"Of course I don't want you to blatantly assassinate!" Shen Hao said, "To create an accident, so that people can't see the flaws!"

"Time is pressing, how can we do it?" Wu Wenfu shook his head.

"The governor has already made arrangements, and the tricks can help me wait!" Shen Hao took out the tips that Sima Fa had prepared in advance.

"So what's going to do? Tell us!"

"Don't panic, wait for me to take a closer look......" Shen Hao opened the bag, took out the secret letters, and flipped through them one by one.

The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Xuanjiao parade has finally begun.

As soon as the auspicious time arrives, the queue goes down to Guye Peak, starting with the team of Ning Ze and Sima Fa participating in the celebration, carrying the statue of the gods enshrined by Xuanjiao in the middle, and the ancestral tablet behind it, forming a long dragon that cannot see the head at a glance, and walking down the mountain road when the sky is just dawning, all the way to the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

Along the way, the people gathered, gathered on both sides of the road to bow down and worship, and incense was everywhere and prayed non-stop.

The foot of Guye Peak is crowded with people, the main road outside the city of Daliang County is also overcrowded, countless vendors rarely leave the city, set up stalls in the wild, the whole city men, women and children gather, it is even more crowded than the temple fair.

Ning Ze walked in front of the team, and all the way over, he saw two hundred men, women, and children, all the people were ready to burn incense, and they were extremely pious.

The influence of Xuanjiao here is indeed very large, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Liu Yuanxiang lifted the curtain in the carriage and watched all the way, regretting that Mi Yan and Hua Erniang had evacuated in advance and did not see this scene.

This scale is not something that can be seen at ordinary temple fairs, even if the parade process is quite boring, it is a different feeling in such a lively situation.

Chumei and Fluttershy also watched through the carriage window, immersed in this once-in-a-century event on an unprecedented scale.

Since the foot of Guye Peak, both sides of the road have been congested, and even along the main road around the Daliang County City, there is no gap in sight.

The whole city is here, crowded and difficult to move. But there are rules, and no one has taken a step to step into the middle of the road.

Everywhere you go, there are cigarette smoke, prayers, gongs and drums, and firecrackers.

In the procession, there are Xuanjiao Taoist priests next to each statue to introduce the gods around them all the way, leading the people to bow and pray along the way.

Of course, it is also very hard to go around a huge Daliang county town, after all, it is impossible to gallop fast on the parade celebration, and the statue of the god has to stop to accept the people to kneel and pray for blessings before walking for a while, and it is actually very slow to stop and go.

Of course, it's fun for those who experience this kind of parade for the first time.

From about 5 o'clock in the morning, go down the mountain, start from the foot of Guye Peak, and just circle around Daliang County at about 11 o'clock at noon.

This trip lasted for six hours, the team temporarily stayed near Dongcheng, put down the statue for the people to burn incense and worship, and the Xuanjiao Taoist priest, under the leadership of Jia Daoren, provided a meal for the forces participating in the parade on both sides of Ning Ze and Sima Fa, thanked both sides for their strong support, and told them to rest for an hour, that is, to start the second parade around the city at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

The whole event will be over almost in the evening, when the Taoist priests of Xuanjiao will put the statues of gods and ancestors in the square in the city of Daliang County, and the people of the whole city can come to worship and pray at any time for the next seven days.

In order to cooperate with the celebration of the centennial parade of Xuanjiao, the curfew order of Daliang County was temporarily lifted, and the whole city was lit up at night, and the area around the square was filled with various stalls.

The people of the whole city were immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration, except for Shen Hao and the four brothers of the Wu family, who secretly infiltrated the city with the assistance of the officials of Daliang County, did not have the slightest idea of participating in the parade and celebration, and secretly prepared.

They were very clear about the whole process of the parade celebration, because Sima Fa was involved, and Jia Daoren explained it.

This information came from Sima Fa's hands, and Shen Hao and the four Wu brothers firmly remembered it, and implemented strategies on this basis.

It is completely impossible to deal with Ning Ze head-on, after the previous two failures, Shen Hao summed up an experience - to do something to Ning Ze and the people around him, you must not get too close, and you can't execute it personally. Otherwise, it will be debunked by Ning Ze's methods that seem to be an unpredictable prophet.

Since this is the case, it can only be done indirectly, without getting as close to Ning Ze as possible, and the means must be obscure and not easy to detect. No matter what, it must be made in the form of an accident, and no one can be suspicious, especially Ning Ze.

Therefore, after learning all kinds of information, Shen Hao took advantage of the break in the celebration of the centennial parade of Xuanjiao, led people to disguise themselves as believers who worshiped the statues, and found an opportunity to approach the Taoist priest who was preparing the meal, and found out the people in charge of Ning Ze and his subordinates, and sent his subordinates to attract attention as believers. It is difficult for ordinary people to notice, and even if they find something wrong, the first person to suspect is the Taoist priest of Xuanjiao.

If it succeeds, although it is not very toxic, it can also cause trouble to Ning Ze and the people around him, at least it will be difficult to get out of here, and the body will be weak after poisoning, which will reduce the combat effectiveness.

If it fails, it is all common wild vegetables, and they will only think that the Taoist priests of Xuanjiao do not understand this knowledge, and the other party will not be able to investigate it because of the face of Xuanjiao.

If this plan is successful, it will be easier to plan next.

There is nothing wrong with the strategy, but unfortunately Ning Ze has a system, and this method is basically ineffective.

When the meal is delivered, the problem of wild vegetables can be seen through the system.

Ning Ze remained silent and took out the problematic wild vegetables one by one.

He found that only his side had mixed similar wild vegetables, which meant that it was not the negligence of the Taoist priests of the Xuanjiao Sect who mixed these wild vegetables into it.

Apparently someone is secretly doing it, specifically targeting himself.

It's just that the virtual map is full of red dots, and it's hard to find the real person to do when you're in the enemy's nest.

There were Sima Fa's people everywhere, all of them in the opposing camp. But it's certainly not on the surface, Sima Fa won't be stupid to this point.

The person who secretly attacked was shrouded in red dots on the map, as if he was protected, and as long as he didn't rush out in front of him, he couldn't confirm his identity at all.

It can be seen that the other party has no intention of taking action head-on, but is ready to fake it as an accident to cause trouble to his team in this form, preventing him from leaving Daliang County, or staying here forever.

From this point of view, it is the same as the people who lurked in the shadows during the previous two attacks, or they are the same people at all!

The opponent's small means must be endless, and it is impossible to prevent it.

It is quite dangerous to be in the spirit of the twelve-point spirit, and to be tricked on other people's turf. In any case, Sima Fa is likely to seize the opportunity. Hold people in for the sake of protecting themselves. Once detained, the chances of encountering danger are increasing.

On top of that, it's likely to influence the strategy you've developed. Only I can say it, after all, there is also Liu Yuanxiang, the wife of the empress, and I can't ignore it for a moment!
