The news of the great defeat of Tianwangzhai blew like a hurricane and spread all over Huyang and the surrounding areas, causing countless local dignitaries who were concerned about the war to be shocked and complained.
They had hoped that the imperial court would bring down the heavenly soldiers, pacify the civil unrest, annihilate this group of lawless mob and gangsters, and give them a stable world, without having to worry about Chen Feng coming to the door every day.
However, Tianwangzhai, which was recruited into security, not only failed miserably, but also seized a lot of military and horse materials for Longwangzhai, which made its foundation stronger, such as the gangrene attached to the bones.
In the past, Longwangzhai was recuperating and had few actions. Now, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits and easily defeated the attacking troops. No one knew whether they would break the state capital with a great victory in order to seek revenge.
For a time, the officials and noble clan of Huyang and the surrounding areas were all in danger, and Chen Feng's name could stop children from crying at night.
…
Somewhere on the border of Huyang.
A small team of dozens of people is slowly walking along the road.
There was no goods in the team, not a businessman, only a carriage, surrounded by the center, it looked like an escorting guard.
In fact, this is an escape team, and the entourage are all disciples of the Tianji faction. When Tianwangzhai was defeated, they didn't have time to clean up, so they ran away under the instructions of Master Yufeng.
Because Real Master Yufeng was the focus of Longwangzhai's pursuit, all the disciples took off their Taoist robes, put on simple clothes, and pretended to be guards to evacuate all the way to Huyang.
The curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and Zhou Jing came out to observe the scenery outside.
"Where did you go?"
A disciple next to him hurried over and replied, "Master, we have reached the border of Huyang. We only need two more days to reach Jiangchun, and then we can take a boat north to Beijing."
"Jiang Chun... not bad." Zhou Jing nodded.
The disciple hesitated to speak, and asked in a low voice, "Master, your body..."
"There are still some residual toxins, and it still takes some time to recuperate. You just hurry up."
Zhou Jing said casually, and then closed the curtain again.
When the disciples heard the words, they felt helpless.
If the master recovers, then they will have confidence, and they don't need to be as scared as they are now, for fear that Longwangzhai will catch up.
Inside the carriage.
Zhou Jing maintained a posture of cross-legged breathing, but his upper body was leaning lazily against the wall of the car.
"I don't know what happened to Chen Feng's surrender..."
Zhou Jing groaned in his heart.
He has always been on Bill's body and has always been in a running state. Now he doesn't know the progress of Longwangzhai's pursuit of Lu Longchuan and others.
According to his estimation, Tianwangzhai was broken up, and Chen Feng could capture at least dozens of Tianwangzhai leaders.
Although he did not personally control to persuade him to surrender, he had already given instructions. With the current synchronization rate of the fourth apostle, Chen Feng, it must be done well. When you check the log next time you shuttle, you will know the specific results.
"Speaking of which, Chen Feng's victory this time has made his subordinates stronger again. If the imperial court conducts conquests again, most of them can only dispatch frontier troops.
Zhou Jing secretly calculated.
In the past few years, the influence caused by Chen Feng has basically taken shape, and the time for revolt is almost ripe.
And the time when the main world meets, probably within two years, before the arrival of the exploration bureaus of various countries, it is best for him to officially revolt and cause the current situation.
In Longwangzhai, there is a certain amount of money, grain, soldiers and horses in stock, even if the court wants to counterattack with all its strength, it can resist.
Moreover, he also played a guest role as a logistics captain this time, and he completed the wealth transfer without knowing it, and provided a wave of entrepreneurial funds.
With Chen Feng's power and influence in Huyang, as long as there is a rebellion, he can directly separate one side. It is estimated that except for [Tianjie Treading on the Bone of the Duke and Celebrity], the other four life goals can be directly accomplished, greatly increasing the progress.
"Once the rebellion rises, people from all over the world will respond, and most of them will have imitators, and it will evolve into a situation of fighting for hegemony... And according to the historical laws of feudal dynasties, the first one to shout the slogan of rebellion and provoke troubled times will not have the last laugh."
Zhou Jing touched his chin, but he didn't care too much.
As long as he kills all the aristocratic clansmen, the apostle Chen Feng will basically be able to retire. Fighting for the world is not the life goal of this apostle.
The so-called leader must be condemned, and the palace will be blessed. Those who do not rebel for the sake of the world and are willing to be the leader are more pure.
What's more, even if an apostle with such strong aptitude is lucky enough to win the country, being tied to the throne is a kind of bondage and waste, and it also goes against the line.
In his understanding, Chen Feng's name should be a knife, not a crown.
"If someone is fighting for hegemony, let them fight for it. It's enough for me to be a slaughtering scumbag. No matter whether he is a court or a group of heroes, whoever accepts the service of a noble family to provide shelter, I will follow it correctly, and it will be successful. The public enemy of the world doesn't matter..."
Zhou Jing shook his head.
He put the matter aside for a while, thinking about the situation on Bill's side.
With such an amazing performance on the front line, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be feared, feared and suspected by others, but he pretended to be poisoned to prove that he was not omnipotent, and also reduced the emperor's alienation and vigilance.
Although Bill's methods seem to the locals to be almost godlike, the superiors will not like a person who has no weaknesses. Only by revealing some "weaknesses" at the right time can people feel more at ease.
Moreover, with the excuse of being poisoned, he can get rid of the responsibility for the defeat in the war. Even if someone wants to take advantage of the problem, it is difficult to help himself and achieve multiple goals with one stone.
Speaking of which, it was someone in the DPRK who poisoned him, but unfortunately he didn't ask the spy about his history. I don't know which powerful person wanted to harm him.
Zhou Jing calculated in his heart that there was no one who directly hated himself in the DPRK and himself.
Among them, the contradictions are more acute, only Qingliu, Taiyiguan and Yudingjiao.
Needless to say, Qingliu has been beeping all day long and calling him a demon is not a day or two.
The Imperial Physician Hall and the Jade Tripod Sect were enemies of their peers.
The grievances and grievances of the Imperial Physician's Office were hard to tell. Zhou Jing didn't really want to recall them. A group of doctors had no power, so they would not be them.
Therefore, the most likely person to attack him is the Yuding Sect in charge of the Sitianjian, but it is not ruled out that mermaids are confused.
"Jade Cauldron Sect... Could it be these hanged people who poisoned me? They were the ones who killed me on the front line."
Zhou Jing's mind flashed across the face of Jian Zhengning and Zhongjun's immortal style.
Although the two sides had been at peace with each other some time ago, Yudingjiao's attitude of seeing him as a threat has not changed.
He squinted his eyes and took the perspective of the person behind the scenes, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
If he went back alive, the emperor would inevitably ask the reason for his defeat. Of course, he would bring up the matter of poison, which would be very troublesome for those behind the scenes.
So for the people behind the scenes, they can either hide it and pretend to be innocent, or do it simply and simply prevent him from returning to Beijing...
Just when he was thinking about it, Zhou Jing's ears suddenly moved, and he heard the sound of arrows breaking in the wind.
On the other side, outside the carriage.
The team marched slowly, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the road, which caught the disciples by surprise.
The disciples turned pale in shock, hurriedly avoided, and shouted in anger.
"There is an ambush!"
"Be careful!"
Arrow rain.
duh duh!
An arrow was nailed to the wall of the carriage, and the horse pulling the carriage was shot into a hedgehog on the spot. Six or seven disciples escaped and were shot dead on the spot, while many others were injured.
"kill!"
The loud shouting sounded, and the next moment, one or two hundred masked men jumped out of the woods, rushing towards the carriage, with a clear goal.
"Protect Master!"
The disciples endured their injuries, pulled out their weapons, and stood guard around the carriage to face the masked men.
These masked people are all very skilled and proficient in martial arts, but they can't tell which sect or faction, and the disciples of the Tianji faction have to pass on the martial arts of Qingliang Mountain, and they are not mediocre.
However, the disciples were outnumbered, and although they fought bravely, they were still too weak to stop the masked man's actions.
Taking advantage of the presence of the guards being entangled, the masked leader headed straight towards the carriage.
"Don't hurt my master!"
Under the staring eyes of the disciples of the Tianji faction, the masked man led his own way and raised the curtain with a knife, directly revealing the real Yufeng who was sitting cross-legged inside.
Zhou Jing didn't change his face, looked at him calmly, and said, "Who wants to kill the poor Taoist?"
"Hey, don't blame the real person, I just acted on orders and went to the underworld, don't worry about villains."
The masked leader's eyes flashed fiercely, and he brazenly drew his sword and stabbed Zhou Jing in the heart.
If it weren't for the poisoning of the real Yufeng, they would not dare to intercept and assassinate. Fortunately, this Taoist can't use his magic power at the moment, and the tiger fell to Pingyang, allowing them to bully him.
With a knife stabbed out, the masked man leader felt regretful in his heart.
Master Yufeng's skills were shocking to the world. He was naturally jealous and greedy, and wanted to force him out of the way... It's just that this man has a lot of skills, which makes him extremely fearful.
This ability to call the wind and call the rain, I am afraid that this will become a swan song...
However, at this moment, the stabbing knife suddenly stopped.
The masked man leader was stunned for a moment and looked at it in astonishment.
I saw Master Yufeng holding the blade with his two fingers, like iron pliers, so he couldn't get it back.
Snapped!
Zhou Jing squeezed his fingers and broke the blade directly.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out his hands into claws, and grabbed off the mask of the masked man's head, and his skills were astonishingly fast.
The masked man leader was terrified, and hurriedly retreated.
However, the next moment, his movements stagnated, and he felt a pulling force pulling him towards Zhou Jing, and then someone clasped his neck, squeezed his mouth open, stuffed an elixir into his mouth, and forcibly swallowed it.
Before he could continue to move, his hands and feet suddenly did not obey, and he fell on the carriage with a thud, leaving only his eyes full of horror, and he could still spin around.
"Eat my paralysis pill, don't even think about moving in the tea time, just lie down, and the poor Daoist will concoct you later."
Zhou Jing threw down the masked man leader, and Yu Feng directly rushed into the formation.
He didn't make too much noise, just rolled up the wind blades and wounded the masked people.
Seeing this, the rest of the masked people were in chaos.
"Master Mana Tongxuan has been restored!"
The disciples of the Tianji faction were refreshed, and immediately turned from defense to attack, making up for the wounded enemies one by one.
The battle didn't last long, and the masked men who intercepted and killed quickly collapsed, leaving behind a lot of corpses and wounded. Only about twenty people escaped, and Zhou Jing let them go on purpose.
The remaining disciples controlled the surviving enemies and took off their face scarves, but did not recognize them at all.
"Master, what is the origin of this group of people?"
"Just ask."
Zhou Jing probably knew it, but he still came to the masked man leader's side, fed him the antidote, and then mentioned it to the side for interrogation.
"You're not going to learn anything from me! Kill me!"
The masked leader didn't speak, and wanted to kill himself by biting his tongue, but was stopped by Zhou Jing.
Seeing this man's appearance as a dead man, Zhou Jing didn't take it seriously. He took out a roll of needles from his arms and pulled out a few silver needles, his face expressionless:
yawenba.net
"Pin Dao doesn't want to be contaminated with blood, but if you come to kill me, Pin Dao can't spare you, but it's not difficult for you to speak."
After all, he raised his hand to shoot continuously, and inserted needles into each other's head and neck.
In a short while, the masked man's expression of rather death and unyielding gradually became dull, saliva flowed from his mouth, his mouth opened and closed unconsciously, and Aba Aba kept going like a fool.
After doing all this, Zhou Jing asked, and the masked leader became answerable.
Soon, Zhou Jing got the answer, and he did not hesitate to point out the heart of this person.
puff!
The leader was shocked and fell softly to the ground, already dead.
"It's really the Jade Cauldron Sect... Ning Zhongjun, right?"
Zhou Jing's eyes flickered.
He didn't want to compete for the dominance of Si Tianjian, but the Jade Ding Sect refused to forgive him, kept plotting, and wanted to put him to death.
This group of people provokes themselves again and again. Although it is not dangerous, it is really annoying.
"The Yuding Cult has been favored for so many years, and the incense is strong. It should be very rich... It seems that it is time to collect a start-up loan from them."
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
