Since Wang Baobao was so straightforward and agreed to give Wu Sheng 30,000 gold taels, he naturally had a trick up his sleeve.
Wu Sheng wanted to get benefits from him with just a thin piece of paper?
The goshawk carefully looked at its master's expression and asked in a low voice," Young Prince, what do you mean?”
Wang Baobao smiled and said with a hint of success in his tone," I've already ordered people to hide a lot of fluorescent powder in the carriage carrying gold. With this thing, do we still have to worry about not knowing where Wu Sheng's nest is?”
The so-called fluorescent powder was made from the powder collected from fireflies and added with many drugs. As long as the fluorescent powder was hidden in the carriage, it would scatter on the ground once the carriage moved.
During the day, nothing could be seen, but once it was night, it would bloom with a lustrous light, which was especially obvious.
No matter how smart Wu Sheng was, he would not have noticed it!
Thinking of this, Wang Baobao sat down again. His expression gradually calmed down, and he was no longer flustered and exasperated. His slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and a smile appeared on his face.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Didn't Wu Sheng want gold? I'll let him see with his own eyes how I get back this thirty thousand gold taels!”
......
In the courtyard of Cang County's farmhouse!
Yan Qingcheng and Yang Buhui walked into the hall side by side. Wei Yixiao, Yin Tianzheng, and Chang Yuchun hurriedly stood up to welcome them.
"Cult Master!"
Yan Qingcheng nodded with a faint smile." Listen, Buhui said that you have something to discuss with me?”
Wei Yixiao hurriedly nodded. He handed the letter that he had already opened to Yan Qingcheng, a hint of excitement flashing across his face.
"This is a messenger pigeon from Light Summit. Left Emissary Yang and the others have already heard the news from our side. They are bringing the five loose cultivators and the Five Banner Division disciples to Azure Continent.”
This news made Wei Yixiao and the others heave a sigh of relief.
Although they believed in their Sect Master's abilities, the tallest tree in the forest was bound to be destroyed by the wind. Since their Ming Cult's branch had caused such a huge commotion, they must have been targeted by various factions in the martial world. The imperial court was only putting it on the surface.
When Yang Buhui heard that Yang Xiao was rushing over, a surprised smile appeared on his face." Really? Is Daddy coming over personally?"
Wei Yixiao looked at Buhui and teased," Buhui, why are you so happy when you hear that your father is here? If others saw this, they would think that your Uncle Wei and Uncle Yin didn't take good care of you. Hahaha…"
Yang Buhui stomped her feet coquettishly and pouted as she said," That's not what Buhui meant!”
Yan Qingcheng looked at Yang Buhui's innocent appearance and could not help but smile.
He was not very surprised that Yang Xiao and the others were coming. After all, the commotion in Cang Prefecture was so big. It was normal for Yang Xiao to bring people over to help when he heard it.
Yin Tian Zheng looked at Yan Qingcheng and said seriously," However, Cult Master, Left Emissary Yang's letter also brought us a piece of news.”
Yan Qingcheng saw Yin Tianzheng's serious expression and raised his eyebrows. He turned to look at the letter in his hand and asked," What news?”
"In addition, the three rebel armies led by Zhang Shicheng, Liu Futong, and Fang Guozhen have already arrived in Cangzhou. Left Emissary Yang specially reminded us in the letter to be more careful.”
Yan Qingcheng narrowed his eyes. On the letter, Yang Xiao had already introduced the powers of the three rebel armies.
Zhang Shicheng led the most 20,000 men, Liu Futong led 10,000 men, and Fang Guozhen led more than 10,000 men. As for the rest of the rebel army, they were too far away from Cangzhou and did not come over for a while.
These rebel armies must have already known about the movements in Cang Prefecture. Could it be that because of the Dongguang County incident, they wanted to take advantage of Wang Baobao's distraction to attack?
This was not impossible!
Moreover, the arrival of these three rebel armies meant that the situation had become even more complicated for them.
Chang Yuchun, who had been standing silently at the side, glanced at Yan Qingcheng's expression and said in a deep voice," Cult Master, I have something to report to you as well.”
Yan Qingcheng looked at Chang Yuchun." What's the matter?”
Chang Yuchun's expression was solemn as he said in a low voice,""It's the spy we left in Cangzhou City. He just came back to report that four hours ago, a rebel army entered Wang Baobao's government office and met with him. It took a while before they came out. They even brought Wang Baobao's personal guards and drove a carriage to the east.”
After a pause, Chang Yuchun added,""The scout said that the rebel army seems to be a strategist under Wu Sheng of the Sarlin Army, Lu Qingshan!”
Hmm?
Wu Sheng of the Mountain Forest Army and Wang Baobao?
When did their relationship become so good?
"Not only that, the disciples in the branch have discovered traces of the Revolutionary Army in Cang County these past few days. Some disciples have also discovered that there are people sneaking around our branch, but we don't know which side they're from.”
Chang Yuchun didn't look too good. These incidents were obviously unusual, but he couldn't figure out what Wu Sheng was up to.
Yan Qingcheng's fingers tapped lightly on the table. When did the Revolutionary Army get involved with Wang Baobao? Shouldn't they be like fire and water?
Although there were occasional rebel soldiers in Cang County, they were very rare. Moreover, they were in the limelight now, and Cang County was the closest county to Cangzhou City. Were they not afraid of being discovered by Wang Baobao?
There must be something wrong with this!
Yan Qingcheng's eyes flashed. He raised his head to look at Yin Tianzheng and the others and instructed," The three of you, pass down the order immediately. Tell all the disciples in the branch to get ready. We'll leave Cang County immediately."”
What was that?
Upon hearing Yan Qingcheng's words, Wei Yixiao and the others were stunned, unable to react.
