On the main road of Xiangyang City, groups of guards ran past each other in a hurry. Pedestrians and vendors in the city carefully avoided it. Even the people in the city stayed away. It seemed that something big had happened.
The atmosphere is solemn.
"What happened? Did the Jianghuai Army come here?"
As soon as the group of ranchers left the restaurant, they saw such a scene, and Shang Xiuxun asked.
Zheng Xie said lightly: "It has nothing to do with the war. Zheng's hands are itchy and he just locked up the money and killed it."
"What!"
Shang Xiuxun screamed in shock, showing an unbelievable look.
Everyone was also shocked. With this restless master, their heart could not bear any less.
Zheng Xie said: "It's a long story, so I'd better explain it to the owner after we get out of the city."
"You'd better have a reason to convince me."
Shang Xiuxun glared at him fiercely and ordered: "There is no need to take the horses and luggage. Everyone leaves the city as soon as possible."
After receiving the order, everyone immediately climbed the city and left, rushed to Dongcheng Pier, spent a lot of money to rent a cargo ship, and ordered the boatman to sail immediately.
Cargo ship sets sail.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Xiangyang City gradually getting smaller.
Zheng Xie came to Shang Xiuxun's room and said to her: "Xiuxun, don't be angry, please listen to my explanation. Qian Duguan is not just the leader of the Hanshui Gang, his true identity is actually a disciple of the Yingui Sect.
, occupying Xiangyang City is also to expand the power of the Yingui faction."
Shang Xiuxun's face changed slightly and she said, "Really?" She had also heard about the Yingui Sect.
The Yingui faction acts unscrupulously and has a ruthless style. It can be said that it is notorious in the world, and almost everyone has no favorable impression of her.
Zheng She said: "How could I joke with Xiu Xun about this kind of thing?"
Shang Xiuxun glanced at him and said: "Then you should discuss it with me in advance. If you provoke the Yingui Sect like this, you are just kidding with the lives of us people."
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "Of course I dare to take action only when I am fully confident."
Shang Xiuxun said: "People have been killed by you. It's useless no matter how much you say. What should I do next?"
Zheng Xie said: "The occupation of Xiangyang City by the Yingui faction has always been a hidden danger for the ranch. In this case, it is better to take it in hand. I asked General Li Jing to make preparations before departure, and now he has sent troops to leave the ranch.
When Xiangyang City is left in chaos, it’s time to capture it! After occupying Xiangyang City, the Pegasus army can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. Even if something happens to Jingling City, at least there will be a city to fall back on and we won’t be caught off guard.”
Shang Xiuxun said angrily: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"
Zheng She said: "If I had told you in advance, would Xiu Xun have agreed?"
Shang Xiuxun paused. Indeed, she had various scruples. If she could make a new choice, she might not agree to capture Xiangyang. Some fighter opportunities would never come back again. If she could not grasp them, the situation would be completely different.
…
Jingling City.
Du Fuwei personally led 70,000 soldiers and horses to garrison outside Jingling City. He adopted the method of surrounding three and missing one, leaving a way out at the south gate and dispelling the determination of the Jingling defenders to fight. He wanted to make himself invincible.
Capture Jingling.
Jingling City is located on the east bank of the Yangtze River and was built along the river. However, this short distance has also been blocked by the Jianghuai Army. They set up wooden forts between the water and land, and laid out a large number of traps, making it impossible for reinforcements to support from the waterway.
.
More than ten miles away, the upper reaches of the river were also blocked by iron chains, and ships were cruising on the water.
Under such heavy siege, Zheng Xie led more than a dozen elites from the ranch to forcefully break through the waterway blockade and reach the dock in the west of Jingling City. After landing, he even fought his way through the city and rushed into Jingling City.
The soldiers at the head of Jingling City watched as they drove a shabby boat to break through numerous obstacles, and then attacked from left to right on land, killing the enemy soldiers. Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out and went straight to Xiaoyu.
Morale is boosted.
Luo Fang was a young general in the ranch. He breathed a long sigh of relief after rushing into Jingling City. He almost fell to the ground when he watched the Dai Bridge rise. He gasped and shouted: "Young man, I have never
It’s not so thrilling. The past few days following Master Zheng have been more exciting than what I have experienced in the past twenty years.”
The rest of the people were also extremely excited, and their blood had not calmed down yet. Their arms were trembling, their legs and feet were weak, but they were shouting for joy, and they were looking at Zheng She who was standing proudly in front of them with worship.
Shang Xiuxun also showed admiration. If there were not hundreds of soldiers watching around, she would have fallen into Zheng She's arms and kissed her.
"I really didn't expect that the owner of the farm would suddenly arrive. A few days ago, I heard that the four big bandits were besieging the ranch. The owner wanted to send troops to rescue him, but he didn't expect that the ranch showed great power and captured the four big bandits easily." A middle-aged man said.
The general came over and said respectfully to Shang Xiuxun.
This person's name is Qian Yun, and he is a close associate of Fang Zetao, the owner of the Domination Villa. He has been following him since the Villa was established, and he is loyal and upright.
Hearing Qian Yun's words, Shang Xiuxun and Zheng Xie looked at each other, and saw the look of "Sure enough" in each other's eyes.
Jia Bu indeed pretended to be Jinglingwei and sent a fake letter for help to Fang Zetao.
Shang Xiuxun was not too surprised by this. He had already been mentally prepared and said calmly: "Where is Master Fang?"
Qian Yundao said: "The general has sent someone to report to the owner of the village. It's time to come soon."
Shang Xiuxun said: "I'm afraid that Master Fang may not be able to come, so we should pay him a visit in person and ask General Qian to send someone to lead the way."
Qian Yun's expression changed slightly and he said, "What does the owner mean by this?"
Shang Xiuxun said: "Jingling City is about to be destroyed, and it is already in a precarious situation. However, the owner of Fangzhuang was deceived by the enchantress and indulged in the gentle countryside, ignoring the safety of the soldiers and the people. I'm afraid it is unjustifiable."
Qian Yundao: "This... the village owner's matter, Mo Jiang dare not say anything about it. I will send someone to urge the village owner."
Zheng She was impatient after hearing this, so she stretched out her hand to lift him up and said, "How can there be such a nagging person among men as you? If you want to lead the way, then leave quickly; if you don't, then get out of here."
Qian Yun shouted: "Who are you!"
Zheng Xie was too lazy to talk to him. He stretched out his hand and pinched Qian Yun, and Qian Yun passed out. He said, "Who will lead the way for us."
At this time, a veteran of more than sixty took a step forward, bowed and said: "Please host and heroes come with me."
After that, he led everyone in the ranch along the main road towards Duba Villa in the center of the city.
Jingling City is in a state of depression, most of the shops have been closed, and pedestrians on the road are also in a hurry. It is a doomsday scene where the city is about to be destroyed, and people are panicking.
The veteran general Feng Ge also looked worried, worried about the current situation in Jingling City.
Zheng Xie comforted and said: "Old general, don't worry, the ranch has sent a large army to rescue, and they will arrive soon to relieve Jingling's dilemma."
Feng Ge sighed: "There are currently less than 10,000 generals in Jingling City. It is not easy to resist 70,000 enemy troops."
Zheng Xie said proudly: "What's so difficult about this? We have 100,000 elite soldiers, but a mere 70,000 bandit army is vulnerable to a single blow."
Feng Ge perked up and immediately asked: "How can there be a hundred thousand elite soldiers in the ranch?"
Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but give him a big look, blaming him for making nonsense.
Zheng Xie smiled and said: "Zheng Zheng alone can be worth fifty thousand elite soldiers, and my two little brothers are both enemies of ten thousand people. I say one hundred thousand soldiers and horses is still a conservative estimate."
The faces of the accompanying soldiers suddenly darkened.
While they were talking, everyone had arrived outside Duba Villa.
Let’s not talk about foreign enemies, we must first resolve internal troubles.
Feng Ge led them directly into Dulu Villa, asked where the owner was, and then headed straight for Yiqing Garden.
Joyful Garden.
There were no maids or servants in the garden, only a man and a woman sitting in a small pavilion in the center of the garden.
The sound of the piano comes long and lingering, and the sadness that cannot be dismissed can easily stir up the emotions in people's hearts. The more people listen, the harder it is to let go, and the mood becomes heavier. It seems that there is a group of pent-up energy stuck in the heart, and they can't wait to dig it out.
Open your chest and roar to the sky to vent your anger.
Zheng Xie had only heard music like this that could directly touch people's hearts through the sound of Shi Qingxuan's flute.
The man was Fang Zetao. He closed his eyes and was completely immersed in the sound of the piano. It could be said that he couldn't hear anything outside the window and only listened to the sound of the piano. He didn't even notice the arrival of everyone.
Not only him, but also the soldiers under Feng Singer and the guards accompanying the ranch couldn't help but become intoxicated, and their eyes gradually lost focus.
"Oh, Miss Huanwan's piano music is so moving. If she were immersed in this way, she might have already become a master comparable to Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang, but she would be caught in a deceitful Jianghu battle, and the gains would outweigh the losses!"
Zheng Xie's sigh woke up all the soldiers.
The sound of the piano was interrupted by him.
Fang Zetao also opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, with an angry look on his face, looked around and shouted: "Who let you in without my order? Feng Ge, are you trying to rebel?"
Zheng Xie said leisurely: "Soldiers are throwing their heads and blood outside, and you are so indulged in the gentle countryside that you forget to return. I'm afraid your behavior is even worse than that of Yang Guang. If I were your subordinate, I would have killed you long ago.
How could he wait until now to kill him?"
All the soldiers showed disdainful approval.
Fang Zetao's face turned red, he became angry with embarrassment, and shouted: "Who are you?"
"Hello, Huanwen, Mr. Zheng is here."
Zheng Xie was not excited at all about a dying person. He looked at Huan Huan and wondered what Huan Huan would do.
Huanwan's expression was surprisingly calm. She turned to Zheng She and bowed her head. Her voice was indescribably gentle and moving: "Hanghan, on behalf of Master Zhu, would like to say hello to Mr. Zheng."
Fang Zetao was startled, with a disgusted expression on his face, and said angrily: "Han'er, who is he?"
Huanwan stroked her hair on her shoulders and smiled softly: "Fang Zetao, you are such a fool. Haven't you seen the situation clearly yet? Alas, in that case, just be a fool."
As she said that, she stretched out her slender hand that was as beautiful as the frost and snow, and pulled a string.
"Zheng!"
A murderous zither whistle sounded, the strings broke, and the strings passed through Fang Zetao's throat like a sharp blade.
"You...you...hello!"
A string of fine blood beads emerged from Fang Zetao's neck. He grabbed his throat with both hands and stared at Huan Huan with a look of disbelief on his face. He fell to the ground with a "plop".
Blood spurted out from his throat like a fountain.
"Choke!"
Everyone drew their weapons and surrounded the small pavilion. Such shocking magic skills only made their scalps numb. They couldn't help but be on full alert, held their breath, and did not dare to act rashly.
Huanwan didn't bother to look at Fang Zetao again, and looked at the people outside the pavilion as if they were nothing. She just said to Zheng She: "The slave family killed him, Master Zheng will not blame him for cumming."
Zheng Xie stepped into the pavilion with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Of course not. Even if Miss Huanhua doesn't take action, I won't tolerate him continuing to commit evil in the world."
Huanwen acted as gentle as Xiaojiabiyu, and said in a soft voice: "As long as Mr. Zheng is satisfied, it's my master's destiny. The power of Jingling City will be sent by Yingui as a meeting gift to Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Xie raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "What about you?"
Huanwan lowered her eyebrows and said shyly: "Huan'er is naturally a gift from Jingling City."
"The Yingui Sect is really honest. Don't resist!"
Zheng Xie said, slowly walking up to Huanwan, circling her once, pointing like a gust of wind, touching thirty-six important acupoints all over her body, sealing up her demonic energy.
Huanwan didn't make any resistance, her pretty face turned pale, she looked at Zheng She pitifully, and said: "Zheng Lang is so cruel, do you really not believe in Wen'er?"
Zheng She smiled casually and said: "Fang Zetao trusts Miss Huanhua very much. I just don't want to be like him."
Zheng Xie did not believe 90% of what the Yingui people said.
The people surrounding the pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't believe that this witch with incredible magical powers was subdued so easily.
Huanwan glanced at him faintly, looking pitiful and self-conscious. The soldiers outside the pavilion couldn't bear to look at her and wanted to hold her in their arms to protect her.
The most powerful weapon of this stunning beauty is not her martial arts, but her scheming and appearance.
Zheng Xie said: "Sister Huanwan, please stop pretending. Xiuxun, take her down and find someone to guard her."
Shang Xiuxun said angrily: "What do you want to do with this witch who has brought disaster to the country and the people? Just kill her to save trouble."
Zheng Xie said: "If we kill her, we and the Yingui faction will really fight to the death. Zheng is alone, so he is not afraid of them, but the ranch and Jingling may not be able to withstand the torment of the Yingui faction."
Shang Xiuxun sheathed his long sword and said angrily: "Having said all that, it's not just you who wants to fall in love with this witch. Do you really want to cooperate with the Yingui Sect?"
Zheng Xie touched his nose and said: "If we delay this for now, it is not the time to break with the Yingui Sect."
Shang Xiuxun snorted heavily and sent someone to take Huanwan down.
Zheng Xie turned around like a whirlwind, looked directly at Feng Ge, his tiger body trembled, revealing a proud look on the world, and said: "Now that the internal troubles in Jingling City have been resolved, there are still 70,000 Jianghuai troops outside the city. If Lao
General, obey Zheng's order, and I will ensure the safety of this city. If the old general disagrees, Zheng will leave immediately, and the matter here has nothing to do with me. Whether to advance or retreat is entirely decided by the old general's words.
!”
This is to force the palace to seize power.
All the soldiers under Feng Singer looked at him, waiting for his decision.
"Alas! When Jingling was in danger, only the owner of the mall came to the rescue. We believe in the owner of the mall. Since the hero is walking with the owner, all matters of Jingling City will be left to your charge." Feng Ge did not.
Thinking about how long, there were only two options before him, one was to wait for reinforcements, the other was to defend the isolated city. There was still a chance of survival by waiting for reinforcements, but there was no way to survive by defending the isolated city, so he had no choice at all.
Zheng Xie's spirit was shaken and he said: "Okay, then I will temporarily take over the role of the city lord and ask General Feng to inform all the soldiers defending the city to resist for another three days. After three days, reinforcements from the ranch will arrive, and the crisis will be resolved by then.
"
Feng Ge was infected by his aura, and he also felt a surge of pride, saying: "I will obey the order of the city lord."
After the order was issued, morale in the city was greatly boosted. (To be continued...)
