Chapter 137: Number One in the Army, Wan Chengzhong
Zhang Ruochen had already guessed what happened at Wu City Bank, but when Liu Chuanshen said it, he still felt thrilling, saying: "Wu City Bank has been operating in Yunwu County for such a long time, and it has official support. Who?
Are you so capable that you can take away all the properties of Wu City Bank overnight?"
Liu Chuanshen said sadly: "The other party has been planning this for a long time and is just waiting for an opportunity."
"Is it a black market?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Liu Chuanshen nodded and said: "It's not just the black market, there is another force. This time the purge of Wushi Bank, the force hidden behind the black market, has gained real benefits. Although the black market has also taken away
We have acquired some industries, but only 20%."
"It's even more powerful than the black market. Could it be...the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Liu Chuanshen said: "Yes, it is the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. In order to launch this competition, all the masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect in Yunwu County have been mobilized. Moreover, I suspect that they have also been transferred from other counties.
There are a large number of masters, so Wushi Bank was beaten to the point where it was unable to fight back."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Wushi Bank and the official forces have always cooperated with each other. Didn't the official forces help suppress the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult?"
Liu Chuanshen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Sifang County declared war on Yunwu County. Within ten days, they attacked the twelve cities of Yunwu County and turned a hundred thousand troops into bones. The Yunwu County court had already lost all its members.
If you are in danger and your position is in chaos, how can you still have the energy to mobilize the army to assist Wushi Bank? The Black Market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult took a fancy to this, so they chose this time to take action and caught Wushi Bank off guard."
Zhang Ruochen consoled him: "Master, don't be discouraged. The black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect have joined forces. Who can stop them in this world?"
"No matter what, Liu must thank Ninth Prince for his life-saving grace. If Liu is useful in the future, with just a word from Ninth Prince, Liu will definitely repay today's kindness." Liu Chuanshen's heart moved.
, said: "Ninth Prince wants to return to the royal city?"
"Yes." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen shook his head and said: "Don't ever go back. Today, Yunwu County is in a state of turmoil. There are armies from all directions pushing forward from outside. There are also black markets and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult watching covetously inside.
There are constant controversies in China.”
"Because Prince Yunwu is in charge of the royal city, there is no big chaos in the royal city. If something unexpected happens to Prince Yunwu... To put it bluntly, at that time, the Yunwu Commandery will be destroyed."
"Just imagine, if Yunwu County is destroyed and you return to the royal city, wouldn't you be seeking your own death? Follow me back to Wushi Academy! Sifang County, the Black Market, and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect, no matter how rampant they are, can't
Capture Wu City Academy."
Zhang Ruochen thought of his mother, the Ninth Princess, and his father who was both a stranger and a familiar one. He showed a firm look in his eyes and said, "Master Liu, there is no need to persuade me. I must return to the royal city."
.No matter how dangerous it is, I will go back."
Liu Chuanshen stopped trying to persuade him and said: "If you go back to the royal city, you must be careful of the queen and the imperial advisor. They have always wanted to get rid of you. Moreover, they now control half of the forces in the royal city, and many families and sects have joined them.
Got them."
"Thank you for reminding me." Zhang Ruochen asked, "What are Master Liu's plans next?"
Liu Chuanshen sighed again and said: "All the properties of Yunwu County were lost under my management, causing heavy losses to the bank. I must go back to Tianmo Wucheng to apologize."
At this moment, earth-shattering sounds of fighting were heard outside the city lord's mansion.
Zhang Ruochen and Liu Chuanshen looked at each other, stopped talking, and walked outside.
A roar sounded, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drained out in an instant, and the ground trembled.
In the city lord's palace, formation inscriptions were activated one after another, intertwined into a large net, and rose into the air.
The palace protection formation is activated!
Chen Yuchan, the general of Tianyue Pass, personally presided over the formation and led five thousand elite troops to have a fierce confrontation with the men in black who came to break into the city lord's palace.
Hearing the noise coming from outside, Liu Chuanshen's face remained calm and asked: "Ninth Prince, where is this place?"
"The General's Mansion in Tianyueguan." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen nodded lightly, "It turns out that it is at Tianyue Pass. With Chen Yuchan's ability and the city defense formation, he should be able to block the attacks of the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult."
Zhang Ruochen said: "If a battle breaks out in Tianyue Pass, it will definitely alarm the royal city. The experts in the royal city can arrive within an hour. Therefore, as long as Chen Yuchan can hold on for an hour, the crisis in Tianyue Pass will naturally be solved.
"
"You're right!"
Liu Chuanshen looked at Zhang Ruochen with an expression of great appreciation and said, "You made the right choice to come to Tianyueguan. This is the only way to survive. How great would it be if you were my heir?"
"Liu Chengfeng is also a young genius, and his future achievements will definitely be high." Zhang Ruochen said.
Liu Chuanshen shook his head and said: "He is less than one-tenth of yours."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the huge formation suspended above his head and nodded slightly, "There is no need to activate the city protection formation. You only need to activate the palace protection formation. It should be able to block the black market and the people of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect."
The city defense array consumes a lot of spiritual crystals and cannot be opened easily.
Every time the Tianyue Pass city defense array is activated, at least 10,000 spiritual crystals are consumed, worth 10 million silver coins.
Therefore, the city defense formation must not be activated until there is an absolute crisis.
Even if it is just to protect the city lord's palace, if it is activated once, it will consume 500 spiritual crystals.
Now that the palace protection formation has been activated, with the soldiers outside, we should be able to stop the black market and the evil people of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult, without Zhang Ruochen's need to take action at all.
An hour later, all the men in black who came to attack the city lord's palace retreated, leaving hundreds of corpses of warriors on the streets.
The five thousand soldiers guarding the city lord's palace also suffered heavy casualties. Nearly a thousand people died in the battle and more than two thousand people were seriously injured. It was quite tragic.
Liu Chuanshen looked at the retreating men in black, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a puzzled look, and said: "Strange! Why are only the evil people from the black market attacking the City Lord's Mansion, why are the masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult not dispatched?"
"The masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect have not been dispatched?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Liu Chuanshen nodded and said: "If the masters of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect also come to attack the City Lord's Mansion, they may not be able to stop them just by relying on the palace-protecting formation."
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said: "Although the Black Market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect have joined forces to deal with Wushi Bank, they are not from the same group after all. Since the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect has benefited from it, maybe they are just watching the show now.
When the black market fights with us, we will both lose."
"This should be."
Liu Chuanshen thought for a moment and then said: "The chief helmsman of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect who guards Yunwu County is definitely a ruthless character. None of the people I sent out to investigate her came back alive. I still haven't
After finding out her true identity, we only know that she should be a woman. If you fight with her in the future, you must be extremely careful."
Rapid footsteps sounded.
Chen Yuchan and Zhang Shaochu walked towards Zhang Ruochen. Walking in front of them was a bald man with a pair of huge elephant ears.
The bald man, wearing golden armor, was 2.7 meters tall and looked like an iron tower giant. He had a long cloak trailing behind his back and held a blue battle axe. He exuded a powerful martial arts aura.
Even Chen Yuchan and Zhang Shaochu looked very respectful in front of the bald man, walking cautiously behind him.
Chen Yuchan introduced: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, this is the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army of the Royal City, which is of great importance to the city."
Zhang Ruochen had heard of the name Wancheng Zhong. He was the number one figure in the Yunwu County army. He was said to be able to carry mountains. He was a martial arts legend in the Tianji realm.
A person like Wan Chengzhong would not have served as the commander of the imperial army in a low-level county. That was because when he was young, he owed his life to Prince Yunwu, so he agreed to help Yunwu.
King Wujun has been in charge of the royal city for forty years.
Wan Chengzhong has always lived in seclusion and seldom interfered with the affairs of the Imperial Army.
It was not until the recent great changes in Yunwu County that the King of Yunwu County invited him out to guard the royal city.
Wan Chengzhong looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully with his sharp eyes. When he saw Zhang Ruochen acting calmly and calmly in front of him, he felt a little more approving in his heart.
"You are indeed an outstanding talent. No wonder the king asked me to pick you up personally. Your talent should not be inferior to that of Lao Qi." Wan Cheng said seriously.
Wancheng Zhong is not a pure human being, but a half-human race of elephants. Not only does human blood flow in his body, but also the blood of wild elephants flows in his body.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "How long will it take to return to the royal city?"
"tomorrow."
After a pause, Wan Chengzhong said coldly: "Tonight, I have to solve some things. The black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult have turned the royal city upside down, and they have not taken me, the commander of the imperial army, seriously at all.
They should pay something."
"Now, the masters of the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect have gathered in Tianyueguan, and it is time to deal with them. Chen Yuchan, activate the city defense formation. I want to carry out a large-scale purge against the evil people of the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect.
.”
Chen Yuchan's brows shrank slightly and said: "Commander, it takes 10,000 spiritual crystals to activate a city defense formation..."
Wan Chengzhong glared at Chen Yuchan and said, "I will take out these 10,000 spiritual crystals. You just need to activate the city defense formation and leave the rest to me."
After Chen Yuchan and Wan Chengzhong left, not long after, the city defense formation at Tianyue Pass was opened.
"Boom!"
The entire city gate was shaking violently, and a huge circular array was suspended a hundred meters in the air, slowly rotating, covering the entire Tianyue Pass.
The violent shaking of Tianyue Pass caused the mountains around Chengguan to sway, and the whole world seemed to be shaking.
Dazzling light pillars rushed out from the ground and connected with the array in the sky.
In just a short moment, the dark night sky was completely illuminated by the light of the formation, as if it had turned into day.
