The fleet returned to Hengmen Port, and this sortie wiped out several generals of the Southern Naval Division of the Divine Cult, which can be described as a rare victory.

When I come back, I still have a lot of things to deal with. The pensions for the soldiers who died in the war, the repair of the ships, and the payment for the expenses of the troops sent by the three families including Hulan were complicated, but they were carried out in an orderly manner.

In this expedition, although the Dreadnought's losses were small, they also lost five ships, but fortunately, they were supplemented by the captured Divine Cult warships, and they could enter the army with only a slight modification.

With the end of this battle, it means that the Dreadnought will soon move to the North Continent. This is an army of nearly 200,000 people fighting across continents, and there is much more to prepare, so everyone must not be idle.

Wu Gan was busy and accompanied Yu Jiu to eat in Hengmen Port, but he didn't tell Yu Jiu that he had misunderstood his identity. In case Yu Jiu wants to find Zhu Qianhua, with this person's temperament, he can't say that he will make any trouble.

After staying for a few days, Yu Jiu offered to return. Wu Gan sent a ship to send her and Qu Luo back to Pearl Island.

There is one more thing that needs to be done before the expedition, and that is to find out who leaked the information during the previous expedition.

After resting for half a month, Wu Gen led another forty warships to the west. When passing through Yingke Island, Wu Gen disembarked again to replenish supplies and took the opportunity to inspect the island's defenses.

The fleet set sail again, and three days later on the open sea, Wu Gan received a letter from Yang Zheng. There are only two words in the letter, Zou Ning.

Looking at the two words on the back of the paper, Wu Jian could imagine Yang Zheng's anger. Zou Ning was single-handedly protected by Yang Zheng to join the Dreadnought Army, but he never thought that he was a spy sent by the Divine Sect.

Since returning from the expedition, Yang Zheng has searched for shadows hidden in the dreadnought army, and has arrested more than a dozen people, but he doesn't want to make the mistake of being dark under the lamp, and the person he recommended is exactly the object he is looking for, how not to make him angry.

"Let's go back to the teacher." Wu Gan, who had been fishing at sea for a few days, was happy and gave an order to Zhuo Ke.

The fleet was once again anchored at Yingke Island, and Wu Gan met Zou Ning, who was detained there, in a secret prison.

As soon as he entered the prison, Yang Zheng was already waiting here, and when he saw Wu Gan, he said with a ashamed face, "He recruited him, he did it." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper with the results of the interrogation.

After reading it again, Wu Jian realized that this Zou Ning really volunteered to go undercover in the Dreadnought Army. The previous time the dreadnought army attacked Zou State, Zou Ning led the team to pursue and failed, so he was imprisoned in the mansion. After helping his brother to ascend to the throne, the Divine Sect suddenly found that he didn't know what to do with this second prince, after all, he did not disobey the Divine Sect.

Later, the divine envoy of the Divine Sect personally approached Zou Ning and asked him if he would like to go to Kuntianzhou to lurk. The divine envoy hinted that if he made meritorious contributions in the future, he could not help Zou Ning to become the lord of the country, or enter the holy mountain to practice.

Such a big temptation, how could it not make Zou Ning's heart move. If you stay in the country again, you can't say that you will be killed by your brother secretly, but you might as well go out and break through, and you won't be able to fight for a future. So according to the arrangement of the Divine Religion, he went to the sea in advance, and was finally rescued by the dreadnought.

After reading Zou Ning's confession, Wu Gen shook his head lightly, walked up to Zou Ning, who was hanging on the wall and had blood stains on his body, and sighed, "Zou Ning, you were also the prince of a country, and you deigned to be a secret son, I really don't know what you think." Let me ask you, this oracle is surnamed Zhao. ”

Zou Ning reluctantly raised his head and glanced at Yang Zheng in fear, who was furious, "Say." ”

"Yes, the divine envoy is surnamed Zhao, and his name is Zhao Ling." Zou Ning sighed and lowered his head again.

Wu Gen and Yang Zheng glanced at each other, and they had nothing to say for a long time, it was really Zhao Ling's hand. This woman almost pushed the dreadnoughts into a place of no return, but because of Ji Junlin, a fool, the dreadnoughts took such a big advantage.

"But there are accomplices." Wu Gen then asked.

"No, I'm coming alone." Now that he has been recruited, Zou Ning replied happily.

"I want to die and live." Wu Yan pulled a chair and sat down in front of Zou Ning.

Zou Ning raised his head in surprise, he thought that he would die, the reason why he explained so neatly was that he couldn't bear Yang Zheng's vicious punishment, he just wanted to die, but he didn't expect Wu Jian to be willing to give himself a way to live.

His lips moved slightly, and Zou Ning said with difficulty, "I want to live." ”

"Okay, you will still stay in the army in the future, and you will obey orders under Yang Houzheng, and whatever he asks you to say, you will send a letter to the Divine Sect, you can understand. Of course, we will also give you some truthful information so that the Cult will not suspect you. Wu Yan fanned the paper in his hand and fanned the smell of blood away from his face.

"I understand that I am willing to listen to Yang Houzheng's orders." Zou Ning quietly glanced at Yang Zheng, who was pale, and hurriedly responded, for fear that Wu Gen would regret it.

"There can be no one in this matter, otherwise, it will not be so easy to die." Wu Qian pointed to the paper in his hand.

"I won't do anything stupid like this again." Zou Ning nodded again and again, if it weren't for the chain, he would have knelt down on the spot.

"Very good, you listen to Yang Houzheng for specific matters." Wu Jian stood up, pinched his nose with some disgust, turned around and walked outside the prison.

"Just let him go." When he got out of the prison door, Hu Jia, who was following him, glanced behind him.

"He's just an insignificant pawn, kill him, Zhao Ling will send other people, it's better to stabilize him, for my use, I can't say that I can Yin Zhao Ling in the future." This woman......" Wu Yan shook his head and sighed.

Hu Jia was silent, Zhao Ling knew it, and it was very difficult to stir up the storm when he was in Zhao State. Now that he has fallen into the Divine Cult again, it is even more difficult to deal with. This is also mixed with the heirs of Xiang Qi, which makes Wu Gen even more dilemma.

Walking out of the prison, Gu Yangsi was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Wu Gan, he bowed and saluted, "There is such a thief hiding on the couch but I don't know it, Yang Si is really stupid, and I ask the owner of the village to punish him." ”

Wu Yan looked at his smiling appearance, and couldn't help laughing angrily, "I know that I have nothing to do with you, but I still put on such a fake appearance, but I just came to see my joke." Hmph, I'm going to punish you for going with me and exile you to Beizhou. ”

"Xie Zhai is punished." Gu Yangsi's face was delighted, and he bowed to Wu Gen and gave another salute.

Wu Yan sneered a few times and prepared to rest in the residence he had prepared for himself, but Gu Yangsi took a few steps and asked in a low voice, "The owner of the village wants to take all the five armies away." ”

"Yes, there are many variables in this crossing, and I need to bring more men and horses to prevent being driven ashore." Wu Yan paused slightly, knowing that Gu Yang Si must have something to say.

"Kun Tianzhou is still Chu Xi's main business, controlling the five roads and the defenders?" Gu Yangsi asked again.

"That's the plan." Wu Yan simply stopped, waved his hand to let the followers stay away, leaving only Hu Jia and Gu Yangsi by his side, "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

"Although the owner of the village laid out in advance, all roads were guarded, and the military and government were separated, and Chu Xi was controlled. According to common sense, there is nothing wrong with it. Gu Yangsi accepted the frivolous and said with a straight face, "But if the army comes forward, what should be done if there is a change in the Ji Kingdom or Bailing Province in the north." ”

Wu Yan gradually frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There are 100,000 horses in the five roads, and there are good and dangerous mountains as barriers, there is no need to worry about the good cover and other roads, the only thing that does not support the bottom is Zuoheng Road, which lacks depth and is difficult to be prepared." ”

Gu Yangsi smiled slightly, "The owner of the village is extremely worried, but there is one thing, I think that not long after the Hulan family first ascended to the position of lord, all families are afraid of the dreadnought army, and the owner of the village helped the Hulan family open up the Bibo Port, in fact, Zuoheng Road is not a big problem, and Hulan Fuyan will not attack Ruheng Road."

However, Ji Guo must be guarded, Ji Ye's temperament is weak, and Murong Yuqiang is keen on power, and the people who oppose the counties have been cleaned up over the years, and the whole Ji country is already headed by the royal family. If Murong Yuqiang can't hold back and attack Liang Sha and the others, he must leave someone who can fight.

Of course, the five-way captains left by the owner of the village are all people who dare to fight, but the only shortcoming is that there is less high-level combat power, and if they encounter a strong attack by the other party, I am afraid that they will lose the battle. ”

Wu Yan raised his head and pondered for a long time, Fang Chang sighed, "Ji Ye would not do such a thing, if this is the case, he will not be Ji Ye." ”

"The owner of the village, I also believe that Ji Ye will not send troops, but if the government is controlled by Murong Yuqiang, it will not be possible for Ji Ye to send troops or not. It is about more than 100,000 people in the five roads, about the lives of 100,000 children, and about the foundation laid by the owner of the village. Gu Yangsi straightened up and looked directly at Wu Gan.

"You mean to stay in Kuntianzhou? Who should I keep? Wu Jian finally understood what the other party meant.

"Attacking Beizhou is such a war, how can you leave the general at will. My dreadnought army does not lack people from the Five Realms, what is really lacking is the people who lead the troops in the Five Realms. At the moment, there happens to be such a leading general who has nothing to do and can be recalled. Gu Yang opened the folding fan thoughtfully, and it was quite amorous.

Wu Jian and Hu Jia glanced at each other, and suddenly said, "You mean Bu Kuan?" ”

"Exactly." Gu Yangsi smiled slightly, and motioned for Wu Yan to talk while walking, "At the beginning, the owner of the village sent Bu Kuan to Pearl Island, but it was not easy to arrange it in the army, and someone needed to protect the safety of Ning Yuxi and Le Yu, so I just sent Izumo." Now that Pearl Island is becoming more and more stable, it is useless for Bu Kuan to stay there, so it is better to transfer back. Set up the post of a captain, assist Chu Xi, have nothing to do on weekdays, and lead the troops in wartime. ”

Wu Yan nodded, but shook his head again, "Bu Kuan, although I tried my best to win him into the army, he was not close to the Dreadnought, so I transferred him to Pearl Island. ”

"The owner of the village is worried that after he leaves, Bu Kuan will take the opportunity to stand on his own feet and take all the five roads." Gu Yangsi was smart, and he guessed Wu Gan's unspeakable thoughts, "Actually, this is also simple, leave the three of you to watch him." ”

"Which three." Wu Gen and Hu Jia asked in unison.

"Ye Ziming, Gao Jing and Gao Han." Gu Yangsi did not hesitate to say the names of the three people, obviously he had a draft about it, "Judging from the fact that Bu Kuan secretly protected Lu Lie after the defeat of the Lu family, this person is also affectionate, which is not only his strength, but also his weakness."

Ye Ziming stayed in Kuntianzhou, because of family affection, Bu Kuan was not good at making his son-in-law and daughter difficult to behave. As for the two young masters of the original owners, Gao Jing and Gao Han, who were here, he had betrayed the Lu family, and it was difficult to cross the hurdle in his heart. There are three people here, and it is not good for him to rebel against the new owner again. Of course, if the owner of the village is really not at ease, please ask Yu Songsu to kill him if necessary. ”

Wu Yan pursed his lips, the great god Yu Songsu himself is not moved, it seems that the three of them are really going to stay here. It's just that this made Ye Ziming bitter, and he couldn't return to Beizhou with the army.

"What if Bu Kuan feels guilty in his heart, repeats the Lu family, raises the scriptures or asks Lu Lie to come back to the throne." Hu Jia suddenly interjected.

"No, it won't." Gu Yang thought categorically, "Don't forget Ye Xi, this is the person Bu Kuan really cherishes." The Lu family was re-established, and there was nothing to do at first, but after a long time, how could he, a betrayer, end well, then wouldn't Ye Xi also be implicated, and Bu Kuan would not do such a stupid thing. ”

Wu Gan's lips moved twice, but he didn't make a sound in the end.

Gu Yangsi's eyes moved slightly, and he chuckled, "As for how to deal with Murong Yuqiang's possible changes, I think it is better to ask Ji Yan to sit in Liangsha." If there is nothing to do, if there is really something unbearable, we will use the name of the chaotic ministers and thieves to set up Ji Ye and disturb the dynasty, under the banner of Ji Yan's Northern Expedition, I believe that the owner of the village has also left some secret hands in the Ji country, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the power of the Murong family can be eradicated in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, just according to what you say, I will transfer Bu Kuan back one day, and at the same time remind Chu Xi to step up the construction of the pass city to guard against possible enemies. Here on Yingke Island, just hand it over to Gao Jing, if the Divine Sect comes to attack, if you want to come to Bu Kuan, you can't bear to watch the former young master die, and he will definitely do his best to save it. Wu Gen suddenly felt a little bored, this kind of intrigue was more tiring than fighting.

"If you want to inherit its crown, you must bear its weight, the owner of the village, and when the dreadnought army becomes more and more powerful, there will be more such things in the future, there is no way." Gu Yangsi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
