Fang Jie came back from his patrol in the camp and ate something hastily. Next, the army was ready to move on. After Qinhe passed by, there was no more dangerous places in Gyeonggi Province. No matter how many times the battle with Gao Kaitai would be fought, this time The Black Banner Army has never been afraid of such a direct confrontation on the plain.
Hundreds of thousands of troops marched out again, full of trivial matters.
Fang Jie also had to take into account Chen Dingnan's team on the West Road, and the progress of the hundreds of thousands of horses had to be controlled. To take into account the situation in the eastern border, a hundred thousand troops have rushed to help, this battle is not within the control of Fang Xie, so it makes people feel more uneasy. Fang Xie knew that Mu Guangling had real skills, and he was a real handsome talent after leading troops for many years. But the current conflict in Eastern Xinjiang is not only between Han Chinese and foreigners, there are also many shady things in secret.
Those 100,000 people went to the eastern border, far away from the base. Even with the assistance of people who are well-versed in the world, it is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone.
"San Jinhou is back."
Xiang Qingniu came in from the outside and said: "Just now I met the person sent by Marquis Sanjin to report the news, so I came with him..."
A man who was able to trade in the world came in from behind Xiang Qingniu. After seeing Fang Xie, he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My lord, Lord Hou told me to come back first. Please prepare for the Northern Expedition. It's going to be delayed for a while, the family is not very safe... Master Hou said, after the master is ready, we will leave together when he arrives, this matter is urgent!"
Fang Jie's complexion changed, and he stood up suddenly: "What do you mean?!"
The man quickly explained: "This is the original words of Lord Hou. I don't know exactly what happened. I followed Lord Hou to see Master Liu. The two of them just met and said a few words. People are rushing back, it seems that they are in a hurry. Lord Hou said that he will contact the people in the branch of Huotong Tianxia Bank to arrange writing on the way, and let me rush back to report to the master."
Fang Jie's heart twitched, and he turned to look at Xiang Qingniu: "This matter must be very urgent. If it wasn't for a major event, Jinhou wouldn't let me leave the camp. Now the Northern Expedition is an important time, and I will leave the camp for the Northern Expedition." Delay is small, and the army may even be defeated! It is impossible for him not to consider this, so you go back and pack up, and we can leave when San Jinhou comes back."
"good!"
Xiang Qingniu strode out: "Do you want me to leave the old men I brought from Yiqi Temple in the camp?"
"want!"
Fang Jie nodded: "Except for you and me, everyone must stay in the camp."
Fang Jie raised the Zhaolu Dao, walked outside the big tent to say hello, and then the white lion Hun Huan, who was playing by himself in the distance, galloped over. Seeing Fang Jie's serious face, the spiritual white lion stopped playing and glanced at it from time to time. Fang Jie's face. Fang Jie jumped on the back of the white lion and asked who San Jinhou sent back to report. After San Jinhou came back from which road, Fang Jie urged the white lion to rush out.
The white lion turned into a streak of light and rushed out of the camp in an instant.
After sprinting towards the direction Sanjin Hou came back for less than half an hour, Fang Jie received Wu Yiyi and the sect master surnamed Liu.
"What happened?"
Fang asked.
Wu Yidao pointed to the head of the sect surnamed Liu and said, "He knows some very important news. Although it is not certain, it is of great importance, so I will bring him back to see you immediately."
"I have seen the Duke."
The sect master surnamed Liu didn't expect Fang Jie to be so young, he was taken aback for a moment and then quickly saluted. Fang Jie didn't have the mood to pay attention to these things at this time, he helped him up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's it..."
The head of the family surnamed Liu sorted out his thoughts and said as simply as possible: "We received a task from the superior to find a boat to send a big man across the river. We are not allowed to ask about things. I crossed the Yangtze River about half a month ago and went to Huangyang Road. I was found by Lord Hou within two days after I came back. The man was not very old, and the person who sent him called him Seven Mr. Listening to their conversation, it seems that they are going to the Zhuque Mountain camp on Huangyang Road. Those people are cruel, I dare not eavesdrop, but Mr. Seven is not scruples, he said that this errand is not interesting at all, to catch a woman and child... I heard that Fang's cultivation is not bad, but it would be more refreshing to kill him directly."
When Fang Jie heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
"Leave the matter of the camp to Lord Hou."
Fang Jie turned over and jumped onto the white lion, saying: "There is no need to continue advancing, retreat slowly."
Wu Yidao said eagerly: "Wait for Daozun to go together!"
"He stayed too. Those people forced me to go back. If I took both of you away, I would fall into their trick. If you two are in the army, they won't dare to make mistakes!"
Fang Jie's voice came from a distance: "Hundreds of thousands of troops have been handed over to Lord Hou. If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, you can retreat. Let Xiang Qingniu send someone to the northwest to invite Xiao Yijiu back!"
When the voice disappeared, Fang Xie's figure had also disappeared.
…
…
Linghua Town is not far from the Black Banner Army camp, and it will take less than half a day to get there if you hurry up. There used to be a checkpoint set up by Gao Kaitai, but it has now been removed. Zheng Ziyu was defeated, leaving these soldiers guarding the checkpoints was nothing but their lives in vain.
The town was already empty. Occasionally, an unowned wild dog passed by. When passing by a yard, it would suddenly turn around and run away as if frightened, with a frightened whining sound in its mouth.
After bidding farewell to Wu Yiyi, the sect master surnamed Liu returned with a few of his disciples. When he arrived outside Linghua Town, he looked at the sky and then ordered: "It's getting dark already, let's make do with it tonight. Sleep, hurry back tomorrow morning."
"Master."
A young man who looked to be in his twenties asked him: "Why are we in such a hurry to go back? That Sanjinhou asked us to rest in the camp for a few days before leaving. Tuer hasn't seen what the camp looks like yet. That place It’s delicious and delicious, why do you have to run out of this ghostly place to stay overnight.”
"You know what a fart!"
The head of the sect surnamed Liu glared at his disciple: "Alas... Actually, I shouldn't have come this time. If I hadn't received the great kindness of the Marquis of Sanjin back then, I would never have offended those people. You are still young and don't know the world. Dangerous. Who is Sanjin Hou? Even in troubled times, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has power over the world. Who is Fang Jie? The most powerful force in the entire Central Plains is him, and his army of millions is unmatched. These two people , we can't offend. But... we can't afford to offend the people on that side either. If we live in the camp of the Black Banner Army, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't spread, and the people on that side can easily guess it's us Those who leaked the news to Marquis Sanjin, you don’t know how ruthless those people are, but I know... Since neither side can afford to offend, it’s better to go back and avoid it.”
He sighed heavily: "Not only can we not stay in the Black Banner Army, we have to move immediately after we go back. Although Sanjin Hou has kindly asked all of our sects to join the Black Banner Army to do things. But this matter has not come to fruition. , I don’t dare to meet them again. Let’s find a place to hide. When this is over, it’s not too late for us to join the Black Banner Army. I have saved some money over the years, which is enough for us men to find a place Have a good time."
"Pity… "
His disciple shook his head and said, "If you can put on an iron armor and lead the army to fight, think about it!"
"Prestige ass!"
The head of the family surnamed Liu scolded: "You have to have a life to dream, it's more important to save your life first!"
"You're smart."
These words were not spoken by his disciples, but floated out from the small courtyard. Although there was a smile in the voice, the chill in it was even stronger, so strong that people couldn't help shivering after hearing it.
"who!"
The head of the family surnamed Liu suddenly turned around to look at the gate of the courtyard, and his disciples also drew out their weapons one after another.
"They all call me Lord Wu, but you can also call me Mr. Wu."
A man wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt came out of the small courtyard slowly, with his hands behind his back. He looked about thirty years old, but his temples were already white. This man suddenly looks very kind, but as long as you stare into his eyes, you will feel the coldness behind the kindness.
"I don't know you, what are you doing here!"
The head of the family surnamed Liu asked warily.
"Wait for you, then thank you."
The man who called himself Mr. Five smiled, his tone very gentle.
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
The head of the family surnamed Liu asked.
"If it wasn't for you, Fang Jie wouldn't have left the Black Banner Army camp so soon. Without the commander, how would the Black Banner Army fight this battle? It would be even better if he took Wu Yiyi and that Daoist away again. At that time, there will not even be a decent practitioner in the camp, and those generals will be at my mercy?"
He chuckled, a little twitchy, and there was a bit of coquettishness in his eyes.
The head of the family surnamed Liu was taken aback, and took a few steps back: "You follow me!"
"That's right, but that Wu Yidao's cultivation is quite good, so he couldn't get too close."
Mr. Five sighed: "Come on, tell me what you all said?"
The head of the family surnamed Liu retreated and said: "I warn you not to mess around. I have not been fooling people for so many years in the arena... Besides, San Jinhou and Dao Zun have not left the camp. As long as you dare to mess around, I guarantee you a good death!"
"The two of them didn't go together? That would be a shame..."
Mr. Wu's face was full of disappointment, but he soon laughed again: "But it's okay, it's enough for Fang Jie to leave the camp, and Qiye is waiting for him in the south, so it's expected that he won't end well. I'll tell you Said... Falling into Qi Ye's hands is much more painful than falling into my hands. That guy likes to make things that crawl around people like disgusting bugs. Although I like drilling and being drilled , But that kind of drill is too disgusting. In any case, you have done a great job in getting Fang Jie alone. So I am going to give you a reward... What should I reward you?"
He seemed to think about it for a while, then squinted his eyes and looked teasingly at the head of the family surnamed Liu: "How about rewarding you with a happy death? I guarantee that you have never experienced how happy it is, so happy that you can even die Do not know at all."
