With dust flying and black flags everywhere, the rebels marched more than a thousand miles in five days and now have about six or seven days to reach the capital of Daqian.
It is actually not accurate to say that it is "killed".
Because along the way, there were 40,000 Tengu troops, plus 200,000 surrendered troops, and tens of thousands of Linchuan defenders, a total of nearly 300,000 people, who had never experienced even a single battle.
The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the troops from the various state capitals in Daqian were transferred to the capital, and they really did not have the strength to fight against the rebels.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian had no intention of attacking cities and territories, and turned a blind eye to the cities he encountered along the way. At most, he sent people into the city to "collect" some grain and grass.
One doesn't dare to cause trouble, and the other is too lazy to cause trouble, so naturally there won't be any conflict.
This made this army of nearly 300,000 people less like rebels and more like loyal troops going to the capital to serve the king...
...
"Sir, this is the secret message Duan Fangping sent back this morning."
"According to the letter, nearly 500,000 state troops from all walks of life have gathered in Daqian Capital. All city gates have been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Jing Guoqing has not shown up for several days, and the daily morning pilgrimage has been canceled and changed to a small pilgrimage with only a few people attending."
"In addition, Senior Duan also said that the tasks that Young Master ordered before have been almost completed..."
At sunset, the army camped by a river, and soon bursts of smoke rose.
Inside the main account, Zhang San was telling Wei Changtian the important information received today, which was basically all about Jing Guoqing.
Before arriving at Linchuan Mansion, Wei Changtian sent Duan Fangping's "Four Evil Men" to Daqian Capital, which was considered a move in advance.
In addition to gathering information, the four of them actually shouldered a more important task, which was also a very important part of Wei Changtian's entire plan.
Except for Wei Changtian, no one else knew what this matter was.
Therefore, Zhang San couldn't help but want to ask questions every time he reported the matter, but he still held back in the end.
"Sir, as well as the Jiuzhen Sect, according to the information obtained by Elder Liu and the other four, Huo Tianyang is no longer in the sect, but his whereabouts have not been found for the time being."
"Then there is Miss Xu. She should be able to get here tonight. Young Master Xu and Zhili just left the camp to greet him."
"..."
After talking about the situation of Jiuzhen Sect and Xu Suisui, Zhang San finished everything and waited for Wei Changtian to give orders.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, pondered expressionlessly for a moment, and then asked slowly:
"Um...when will dinner be served?"
"..."
Zhang San: "???"
...
...
An hour later.
The sun sets in the west and the new moon rises in the east.
Just as the steaming meals were being brought into the main tent one after another, in a small post station about ten miles away from the army camp, Xu Quan and Zhili were also having a simple dinner.
The two of them came to welcome Xu Suisui.
At that time, Wei Changtian suspected that Xu Suisui had leaked information about the Son of Heaven to Guan Kong, so he asked her to rush to Lanchuan immediately.
However, before Xu Suisui arrived, Wei Changtian left first, so the former could only continue to chase the army westward.
After several days of traveling day and night, Xu Suisui was finally able to catch up with the army tonight, and Xu Quan, the younger brother who felt sorry for him, came here specially to pick him up.
As for the separation...she had to come with her.
"You two, are you from the west?"
In the front hall of the post station, several torches were swaying, and an older postman placed a plate of pickles on Xu Quan and Zhi Li's table.
Most of the post stations will provide meals for the passengers, but of course it is not free. It can also be regarded as a rare means of "generating income" for such a hard job as the postmen.
However, due to the recent turmoil in the current situation, there have been fewer businessmen and travelers, so now only Xu Quan and Zhili stay here to eat.
The postman was probably bored, so he wanted to talk to them.
"The rebels in Linchuan just attacked me this morning. Did you encounter them when you came here?"
"Oh, we took a small road and haven't encountered them before."
Xu Quan obviously didn't want to chat with the postman, so he made a small fuss in an attempt to end the conversation.
But the latter was "unyielding" and went on to say:
“It’s better if we don’t touch each other”
"We are not trying to scare people. I heard that Wei Yanluo is so bold that no young lady he falls in love with can escape."
"This girl is so beautiful. If Wei Yanluo sees it, sir, you will really regret it..."
While shaking his head and talking, the postman secretly glanced at Zhili.
Zhili was not annoyed at all, but instead had a subtle blush on his face.
Of course she was blushing not because Yi Zu peeked at her, but because Yi Zu's words undoubtedly made her and Xu Quan a couple.
However, Xu Quan didn't have such thoughts as she did. He just looked at the postman helplessly and spoke more straightforwardly.
"Brother, we have to rush on our way after dinner. Look..."
"Oh, you eat, you eat."
Curling his lips, the postman was not very satisfied with Xu Quan's attitude, but he still walked away leisurely.
And when he walked away, Zhili also regained his composure from his brief shyness, looked at Xu Quan with a smile and asked:
"Is what he said true or false?"
"What's true or false?"
"It's about Wei Changtian. Are you, Mr. Wei, really so obsessed with women?"
"These words are just rumors."
"Really? But I heard that Wei Changtian did have several wives."
"With your status as a young master, it's not surprising that he has a few confidantes."
Xu Quan shook his head disapprovingly: "Anyway, I have never seen a young master do anything like robbing a girl."
"Maybe it's just that he doesn't like ordinary women."
Zhili sneered and said: "With that fox demon by his side, ordinary women really can't get into his eyes."
"..."
It was obvious that although Wei Changtian did not do anything to Xu Quan in the end, Zhili still had no favorable impressions of him, Yang Liushi, Zhang San, Li Zimu and others.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It can be said that except for Xu Quan, Zhili still maintains considerable hostility towards Wei Changtian and his group, so naturally he will not be polite when speaking at this moment.
Xu Quan was quite helpless about this, but he couldn't say anything, so he kept silent and just ate silently.
Zhili soon noticed something strange about him, and after hesitating for a moment, he apologized softly:
"Xu Quan, I shouldn't have said that in front of you."
"No matter what, Wei Changtian saved Miss Xu after all."
"By the way, how did Miss Xu get acquainted with Wei Changtian? Why was Wei Changtian willing to help her so much?"
"......I have no idea."
Xu Quan paused while picking up the food: "My little sister has never told me."
"Then she couldn't be..."
The incoherent words were only spoken halfway before they came to an abrupt end.
However, Xu Quan understood what she meant. She just felt that there was an affair between Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian.
In fact, many people, including Yang Liushi, Zhang San, and even Wei Xianzhi, have this idea, but they have never confirmed it to the two "parties".
Because apart from this relationship, these two people have no reason to pay so much for each other.
Wei Changtian was able to lead troops thousands of miles away to rescue Xinfeng.
Xu Suisui was able to withdraw the city defense formation in order to protect Wei Changtian who was breaking through.
There are also various other small things that all show that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
In fact, normally speaking, Xu Quan should hope that something happens to Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui.
After all, he is the latter's only relative. If the two really get married, he will be Wei Changtian's "eldest brother-in-law" and his future will undoubtedly be bright.
but......
"Yes or no, my little sister has her own plans."
Xu Quan shook his head and said softly:
"But to be honest, I don't want her lover to be Mr. Wei."
