"General, I've found out. Boren was hit by the Huashan Sect's ultimate technique, the Life-Seizing Needle of the Voice!”One of his men looked at Zhang Yang and said.
Death Needle!
Zhang Yang's pupils shrank. She knew how dangerous this martial art was. He could not forget how cunning the Huashan Sect's leader was when the six major sects were besieging Light Summit. He had used a move called the Death Needle to plot against Zhang Wuji.
However, Zhang Wuji had used the Heaven and Earth Great Shift to move his acupuncture points away and dodged this fatal move.
Even though Chang Yuchun did not use the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Xue Gongyuan was not skilled enough. In addition, the gaps in his armor prevented him from hitting any vital points.
"Xu Da, I won't be around during this period of time. There are no combat missions in the army for the time being!”Zhang Yang slowly said," No matter what kind of provocation you have, you must endure it. Do not fight. No one is allowed to fight. Do you understand?"”
"I accept your orders!" Xu Da replied and then said worriedly,"General, why don't I go with you?”
"No need. You guys aren't fast enough. I'm going to take Chang Yuchun to the Butterfly Valley to treat his injuries.”
"Yes, General!"
Zhang Yang prepared a horse and a carriage to carry Chang Yuchun, who was heavily injured and could not move.
"General, let me go with you to the Butterfly Valley. If we encounter some small troubles on the way, we can still not disturb you.”Xu Da said with a guilty expression.
"I said, no need. Your task is to look after the two cities of Hanshui and Hankou, understand?”
Zhang Yang looked at Li Wenzhong calmly and said with a smile,""There's no need. I'm confident that Chang Yuchun's injury will be cured. Besides, no one can hurt him with me around. You stay in Hanshui City and do what I tell you to do.”
"Yes, General!" Then, under Xu Da's reluctant gaze, Zhang Yang left with only a 10-man party.
After reaching the outskirts of the city, Zhang Yang turned around and looked at Han River City. He sighed and said,""Sigh, Chang Yuchun is heavily injured. I'll bring her to the Butterfly Valley. If you, the Tiger General who ranks first, aren't here, I'm afraid Deng Yu and Feng Sheng won't be able to suppress Li Wenzhong.”
Even though Zhang Yang did not know if Li Wenzhong was a traitor, he had always been wary of him. He had never given Li Wenzhong any important quests or routes.
If he brought Xu Da and Chang Yuchun out this time, he did not doubt that Li Wenzhong would plot against Deng Yu and Feng Sheng and fabricate a lie to gain control of Hanshui City!
If that really happened, they would become stray dogs.
Therefore, Zhang Yang would never allow such a thing to happen.
On the way back, Chang Yuchun had not lost consciousness even though he was weak. He had heard Zhang Yang's words and could not help but ask,""General, are you suspecting that Li Wenzhong has rebellious intentions?”
Zhang Yang sighed and looked at the flowers outside,""Chang Yuchun, what would you do if I killed your uncle, the uncle who helped you?”
Chang Yuchun thought about it seriously and said with a frown,""If my uncle really did something wrong, then it's understandable for you to kill him. Is that why you suspect Li Wenzhong?”
"Even if you think that what I did was right, don't you have a little bit of resentment in your heart?" Zhang Yang asked.”
"I won't." Chang Yuchun shook his head.
Zhang Yang was a little speechless. He said after a while,""Not everyone is as loyal as you and Xu Da.”
Then, Zhang Yang said something shocking,""Let's make a hypothesis. If Zhu Zhongba had informed Li Wenzhong beforehand about his plot against me, he wouldn't have any resentment now.”
Chang Yuchun's pupils constricted, and his face turned pale. He said in panic,""I understand."
"He wants to seize military power and launch a mutiny to fulfill his uncle's last wish and avenge his uncle!”
Chang Yuchun wasn't stupid, but he didn't doubt Li Wenzhong and his brothers who had been fighting side by side. After all, if he doubted them, he wouldn't be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemies and leave his younger generation to his brothers.
Now that Zhang Yang had pointed it out, he understood.
The word 'kinship' was extremely important, not to mention that Zhu Zhongba's feelings for Li Wenzhong were not as simple as kinship. He also had the kindness of knowing and supporting Li Wenzhong.
" Yes." Chang Yuchun nodded." Thinking about it this way, it's indeed very likely that Li Wenzhong will betray us."”
Then, he looked at Zhang Yang and praised,""General is wise."
Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and said," It's not that I'm wise. I just don't want my brothers to be destroyed by a single mistake."”
"Alright, stop talking and rest well. I don't want you to live too short.”
Although Zhang Yang said that, in reality, he was as steady as a mountain. The elite soldiers under him were not Xu Da or Li Wenzhong, but soldiers who had taken 500 pills.
Zhang Yang had carefully trained them to be the middle ranking officers in the army. They were the ones who were bound by his own interests. If anyone wanted to deal with him, these 500 men would react immediately. There would be no accidents from within the army.
The carriage moved slowly, causing Zhang Yang to reminisce about the high-speed train. Even a small car or electric donkey was better than this.
"How long until we reach the Butterfly Valley?" Zhang Yang frowned and poked his head out to ask.
The soldier had been through many places and knew the way to many places. He immediately said nervously,"General, we are now in Hankou, close to the Yangtze River. It is a long way to go to the Butterfly Valley, and there are no ships. We can only take a detour by horse and carriage, so it will take at least three days.”
Three days?
"No, it's too slow." Zhang Yang was worried that Chang Yuchun would not be able to take it anymore, so he said sternly,""Speed up! Make sure to reduce the speed to half!”
"Yes, General!" The soldiers immediately perked up. Fortunately, they were all cavalrymen, and their horsemanship was amazing.
On the carriage, Zhang Yang was quietly calculating.
This trip to the Butterfly Valley wasn't just to find Hu Qingniu to treat Chang Yuchun.
When he thought about how Hu Qingniu was known as a divine doctor, and how even the six major sects, who hated the Ming Cult, had to run to him for treatment, he could see how brilliant his medical skills were.
Zhang Yang grinned, his eyes glowing with excitement,"" If we can capture Hu Qingniu and make him a military doctor, our army will no longer have to worry about injuries. We can also train a group of medics according to modern methods, and our chances of achieving achievements in the future will be even greater!'
Sitting cross-legged on the carriage, Zhang Yang began to channel the [God's Seal] and the [Nine Yang Divine Skill].
During this boring journey, he could at least increase his strength.
From Zhang Yang's senses, he could sense that every time he completed a cycle, his Son of Heaven's True Qi would increase by one point. Although it was not much, the effect was still obvious after dozens of cycles.
Just like that, on the lonely official road, a group of troops disguised as a merchant caravan advanced.
