Dark clouds covered the moon, and the vegetation was dense!
The light of the fire flashed through the forest, and a group of people moved quickly in the night.
Wu Sheng sat on his horse, holding a torch as he looked at the muddy path ahead. A burly middle-aged man was riding a black horse. He was dressed in green and had a full beard. He was Zhang Shicheng's strategist, Huang Qiliang!
Wu Sheng frowned and shook the torch in his hand. He turned to Huang Qiliang and asked," How long will it take to reach?"”
"Don't worry, we'll be there after this section of the road!”
Huang Qiliang replied indifferently when he heard Wu Sheng's question.
Wu Sheng had 20 personal guards behind him. As for the 3,000 volunteer soldiers, they were stopped by Huang Qiliang five miles away and didn't follow.
He had just received 30,000 taels of gold and was about to bring his brothers to have a drink. He did not expect to meet Huang Qiliang and the others as soon as he left the house.
Although he had never seen Huang Qiliang before, he had heard of him for a long time. When he learned that Zhang Shicheng's forces had already arrived in Cangzhou City, he invited Wu Sheng to discuss with him.
He only hesitated for a moment before agreeing!
As far as he knew, Zhang Shicheng had more than 200,000 people under his command. He had probably come to Cangzhou City to see him to rope in the Mountain Forest Army.
However, Wu Sheng was still very confident in this meeting. The Mountain Forest Army's influence in Cangzhou City was not bad. Even if Zhang Shicheng wanted to rope him in, there were conditions!
Just as Wu Sheng thought of this, Huang Qiliang interrupted his thoughts." We're here!"”
Wu Sheng looked ahead and saw several quiet courtyards. There were three or four volunteer soldiers in tight clothes standing guard at the door. When they saw Wu Sheng and the others, they immediately became vigilant.
Huang Qiliang raised his hand and gestured at them. When the volunteer soldiers saw that they were his own people, they hurriedly walked over.
"Third Master Huang!"
Huang Qiliang nodded and looked at them." Go inform the marshal that he's here."”
"Yes, sir!"
After the volunteer soldiers responded, they turned around and hurriedly entered the courtyard.
Huang Qiliang turned his head and looked at Wu Sheng, who was looking around. He smiled and raised his hand." Brother Wu, please come in!"”
"Please!"
Wu Sheng nodded without batting an eyelid. He waved his hand and instructed the twenty personal guards behind him to wait outside while he followed Huang Qiliang inside.
This Zhang Shicheng was really amazing. He had just arrived in Cangzhou City and was not very familiar with this place, but he had already found such a hidden place to stay. It seemed that he had come prepared.
He could not let his guard down against Zhang Shicheng.
Before he reached the hall, a hearty laughter entered Wu Sheng's ears.
"Hahaha... Brother Wu, you're finally here!"
A man in his forties walked out of the hall. He was burly and had a full beard. He looked a little similar to Huang Qiliang, but his aura was several times stronger than Huang Qiliang's!
Wu Sheng subconsciously held his breath and his eyes trembled when he saw the powerful aura that came at him!
This person was actually a Xiantian first stage expert!
Zhang Shicheng walked up to Wu Sheng and didn't restrain his domineering aura. He smiled and patted Wu Sheng's shoulder."Brother Wu, I'm really sorry. I suddenly invited you over. It's really a little rushed!”
Zhang Shicheng was also born in the wilderness, but he did not speak in a vulgar manner like the others. Instead, he smiled calmly and politely, making Wu Sheng look a little helpless.
Wu Sheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said," Marshal Zhang, you're too kind. Since you've come to Cangzhou City, I naturally have to pay you a visit!”
Zhang Shicheng smiled and brought Wu Sheng into the hall as he said," I heard that Cangzhou City hasn't been very peaceful recently. The Ming Cult has stirred up trouble, and even Brother Wu has suffered a loss from them?”
Wu Sheng nodded and sighed." The Ming Cult's Cult Master Yan Qingcheng's cultivation is unfathomable. He led the disciples of the Ming Cult's branch to cause trouble everywhere. Previously, more than five hundred of my brothers died in his hands. I wonder if Commander Zhang knows that the incident in Dongguang County a few days ago was also done by them!”
Zhang Shicheng raised his thick eyebrows slightly." I've naturally heard about this matter. Yan Qingcheng's actions have long caused a storm in the martial world. Fortunately, the ones who suffered in the Dongguang County incident were the Yuan Dynasty soldiers.”
Thinking of the thousands of corpses in Dongguang County, Wu Sheng felt a chill in his heart. If they were the ones who had been ambushed by Yan Qingcheng, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"However, the rebel army in Cangzhou City is now divided into eight directions. Although the Mountain Forest Army under your command has the most people, it is still a little weak…"
Before Zhang Shicheng could finish his sentence, he looked at Wu Sheng with a bright light in his eyes. The domineering aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, making Wu Sheng feel a little breathless. His face turned pale as he understood what Zhang Shicheng meant.
He had thought that he had brought 3,000 of his brothers from the Revolutionary Army with him, so he was confident enough. However, he did not expect that Zhang Shicheng was actually at Xiantian First Stage. Just by standing in front of him, the aura of an expert made him feel breathless, let alone refute him.
Now, the situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous to them. Back then, Yan Qingcheng had only brought two hundred disciples with him, but he had already wiped out all six thousand Yuan Dynasty soldiers in Dongguang County. The Mountain Forest Army only had eight thousand men, so how could they possibly be his match?
Moreover, since Zhang Shicheng invited him over, he must be confident that he would agree.
Finally, Wu Sheng sighed in his heart and looked at Zhang Shicheng." Commander Zhang, do you have any brilliant ideas?”
Zhang Shicheng forced a smile and said," Brother Wu, you are a smart person. You must have understood what I mean. Right now, the rebel armies are like a plate of loose sand and cannot unite at all. If Brother Wu can submit to me, I believe that no matter how arrogant the Ming Cult and the Yuan Imperial Court are, they will not dare to act rashly!”
Wu Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle. Although he had already expected this, he still found it difficult to accept it when Zhang Shicheng said it out loud.
After all, he had led this rebel army for so long, and everything was decided by him. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the local emperor. Now that he had to submit to someone else, how could he be willing?
