"Report!"
At this moment, a guard rushed in and knelt down in front of Zhang Shicheng.""Commander, we have just received news from our scouts that Wang Baobao led 10,000 Yuan Dynasty soldiers to attack the Mountain Forest Army at night.”
What was that?
When Wu Sheng heard this, he suddenly stood up from the stool and shouted angrily,"What did you say? My 5,000 brothers were all killed by Wang Baobao?”
"Yes, when we received the news, Wang Baobao and the others had already left with a carriage!”The guard looked at Wu Sheng and nodded in response.
" My 30,000 gold taels!!!"
The veins on Wu Sheng's forehead bulged. Without a doubt, that carriage was definitely the carriage with the chests of gold!
But how was this possible?
Their camp was in the forest, and there were few people. How did Wang Baobao find their hiding place?
Wait a minute!
A few thoughts suddenly flashed through Wu Sheng's mind,'Thirty thousand gold…The carriage…Night attack…"
Suddenly, he remembered that they had only checked the gold in the chest, but not the carriage!
That's right!
A carriage!
There must be something wrong with the gold carriage!
Damn it, he should have known that Wang Baobao would not give them the 30,000 gold taels so easily!
Zhang Shicheng narrowed his eyes when he heard the news. He did not expect Wang Baobao to act so quickly.
However, he had also received news that Wu Sheng seemed to have made a deal with Wang Baobao and took 30,000 taels of gold from him. This was probably the source of the disaster.
Wu Sheng was furious and helpless. Forget about taking revenge on Wang Baobao, the 3,000 rebel soldiers under him could not do anything. If they were discovered, they would probably be wiped out together. Now, other than submitting to Zhang Shicheng, there was no other way for him to escape!
At the thought of this, Wu Sheng turned around and knelt down on one knee before Zhang Shicheng. He said angrily," Commander Zhang, if you don't mind, I, Wu Sheng, am willing to bring the remaining 3,000 brothers and pledge allegiance to you. However, I hope that Commander Zhang can make the decision for the lives of these 5,000 brothers!”
When Zhang Shicheng heard that Wu Sheng had finally submitted to him, he nodded in satisfaction. Although there were only 3,000 soldiers left in the Mountain Forest Army, Wu Sheng's ability was not bad. He definitely knew more about the situation in Cangzhou.
At the thought of this, Zhang Shicheng waved his hand and said boldly," Don't worry, Brother Wu. I've brought 100,000 brothers here with the goal of taking down Cangzhou. That Wang Baobao will definitely not be able to escape. I will definitely take back your 30,000 taels of gold!”
"Then I'll leave it to Marshal Zhang!"
Wu Sheng's eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Zhang Shicheng and said repeatedly. However, his fists were secretly clenched, revealing the ferocious veins on the back of his hands.
Last night, Yan Qingcheng annihilated six thousand Yuan Dynasty soldiers. Tonight, Wang Baobao ambushed and killed five thousand of his brothers. Wang Baobao, you actually vented all the Ming Cult's anger on him!
He, Wu Sheng, would remember this blood debt today. In the future, he would definitely make you, Wang Baobao, pay him back double!
……
The night was dark and the moonlight was dim.
Ta…
The sound of horse hooves rang out in the quiet Cang County. A group of people headed south, led by Priestess Miejue and Kongxing the Divine Monk!
Just two hours ago, they received a letter from Wang Baobao and learned that the Ming Cult's branch was in Cang County!
There was no need for Wang Baobao to urge them. The people from the four sects who received the news immediately headed towards Cang County!
Although their numbers were not many, Mistress Annihilation, Kong Xing the Divine Monk, and the others were top experts in the martial world. How could they be afraid of a small Ming Cult branch?
No matter how capable Yan Qingcheng was, it was impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many experts!
Clang ~
The wide street was silent. Suddenly, a melodious zither sound was heard. Everyone stopped in their tracks and reined in their horses.
"Where is that music coming from?" Xianyu Tong's expression suddenly became vigilant.
The cold wind blew in the night. Extermination frowned and looked at the restaurant not far away."It's the restaurant in front!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the restaurant in front of them.
" Let's go!" Priestess Miejue's eyes flashed fiercely.”
After a short while, the group arrived at the entrance of the restaurant!
Creak!
The restaurant's door suddenly opened!
A beautiful figure walked out of the restaurant. Everyone was on guard. What they saw was actually a lady!
Yang Buhui stood in front of the door and looked at Priestess Annihilation and the others. Not only did she not show any fear or panic, but she also smiled at them.
"Everyone has traveled all the way to Cang County. It's really hard on you. My sect master has been waiting here for a long time. I'll have to trouble you to dismount and go upstairs to have a chat with our sect master.”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Yan Qingcheng was up to.
Extermination and the others were even more bewildered. Could it be that Yan Qingcheng had known that they were coming, but he didn't escape and waited for them here instead? Could it be that there was an ambush up there?
"Master Kong Xing, what should we do now?”
He Taichong looked at Yang Buhui who was standing below the restaurant. He actually hesitated for a long time and did not dare to step forward. Yan Qingcheng was full of tricks and was extremely cunning. If he fell into his trap, it would be terrible!
Kong Xing didn't expect this to happen and couldn't make up his mind. However, Miejue snorted and said,"What else can I do? Just go up. Didn't we come here tonight for him?”
After saying that, Miejue got off his horse and walked towards Yang Buhui. Zhou Zhiruo and Ding Minjun also got off their horses and followed behind him.
"Extermination, you…"
Xianyu Tong hurriedly called out when he saw Miejue heading into the restaurant.
Kong Xing raised his hand and said in a deep voice," Amitabha. If a woman like Abbess Miejue is like this, why should we be afraid of that demon?"”
After saying that, Kong Xing also got off his horse and walked into the restaurant with the dozens of Shaolin disciples behind him. When He Taichong, his wife, and Xianyu Tong saw this, they quickly followed along with their disciples.
Yang Buhui smiled slightly. Her long sleeves fluttered in the wind as she turned around and returned to the inn. She went upstairs. Behind her, the three of them were five steps away from her. As they walked, they were on guard against the movements around them.
The sound of the zither was getting closer and closer. It was melodious and pleasant to the ears. Zhou Zhiruo listened to the sound of the zither and thought to herself that Yan Qingcheng was also an elegant person. She wondered what he looked like.
"Brother Yan, they're coming up!"
As soon as she stepped onto the second floor, she heard Yang Buhui's crisp voice. Zhou Zhiruo raised her head and looked at the center of the hall. She was suddenly stunned.
Yan Qingcheng was dressed in a pure white robe. His long black hair was casually tied behind his back. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin red lips that were slightly pursed. His slender fingers gently plucked the strings of the zither, and the wind blew slightly at the corner of his clothes. He was truly peerless in his handsomeness!
Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful eyes carefully sized up Yan Qingcheng, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Even if she had already pictured Yan Qingcheng thousands of times in her mind, it would not be as real as seeing him in person at this moment. The rumored Ming Cult demon who killed without blinking was actually such a handsome young master!
Even when the army was at the city gates, he could still play a song with a calm expression and without any panic. If he wasn't extremely confident, how could he have such courage!
Mistress Miejue did not notice the strangeness in her proud disciple's eyes. She frowned and did not say anything. She stared at Yan Qingcheng, who was playing the zither with his eyes lowered, not knowing what this demon's intentions were.
Yang Buhui walked behind Yan Qingcheng, while Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng stood at the side. He glanced at Mistress Annihilation and the others, a cold smile flashing in his eyes. He then lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"This…"
The Kongxing Divine Monk frowned and looked at each other. No one said anything.
The entire restaurant fell into a strange silence!
The only sound that could be heard was the melodious sound of Yan Qingcheng's zither.
