The army was purged, the military formations were spread out, the armor was dense, more than 100,000 soldiers were practicing, the shouts of killing were loud, exuding the aura of iron blood.
Mao Jiang stood on the city wall, overlooking the gloomy army in the city, with a solemn look on his face.
Gong Yunshan stood behind him, his expression a little gloomy.
In the battle of Nanxing City, they suffered heavy losses. No, it should be Gong Yunshan who suffered heavy losses.
The three pseudo-innate warriors he spent a lot of effort training were destroyed again, which made him heartbroken. You must know that cultivating a pseudo-innate warrior requires a ninth-level warrior and a Yuan Devouring Pill.
To him, Yuan Devouring Pills are also precious things, and one is less valuable than another, and there are even fewer ninth-level warriors who dare to die.
As for Mao Jiang, in the battle of Nanxing City, he lost 40,000 soldiers. After several battles, his army was reduced from nearly 300,000 to more than 200,000 now.
But he didn't feel distressed at all, because he only had half of Nanyang City, and almost all of the lost troops came from that half.
The remaining army of more than 100,000 people is his direct army.
Mao Jiang was wearing armor and glanced at a tall and thin man in the distance with a solemn expression. The man was wearing a moon-white gown and had a thin face. He didn't have any aura of wealth or chic in his body, but he had a certain temperament.
An imposing manner that is not angry but powerful.
He is Ji Ming, the former commander of the Yunzhou Capital Division, and he is also Ye Mu's representative in Nanyang City.
"What are you going to do next?" Gong Yunshan asked with a headache.
Mao Jiang's repeated defeats made him feel a little panicked. If he could not defend Nanyang City, most of Xiaoyao Island's layout in Dali would be lost.
Therefore, he urgently hoped that Mao Jiang could defend Nanyang City.
"Do I need more innate strong men?" Mao Jiang said flatly.
Gong Yunshan was silent for a while and said, "I understand!"
Mao Jiang glanced at him, not quite sure what he meant by "understanding."
However, he did not ask any more questions, because he knew that Gong Yunshan would definitely use all his strength next, and might even dispatch other innate masters from Xiaoyao Island.
This is enough.
"Ten days! I need ten days!" Gong Yunshan said.
"Okay! They won't be able to attack Nanyang City within ten days," Mao Jiang said.
Gong Yunshan nodded slightly and then left slowly.
After his figure disappeared in Nanyang City, Mao Jiang slowly came to Ji Ming's side.
"Are you all ready?"
Mao Jiang asked.
Ji Ming put one hand on the long sword at his waist, glanced at the army below, and said: "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. This time we must capture Lan Yuehou."
"Yan Zhen is here too!" Mao Jiang said.
"Don't worry, the two secret masters Garuda and Asura are already on their way," Ji Ming said.
When Mao Jiang heard this, his pupils narrowed.
There are eight secret masters in the night, each of them is an innate powerful person. The one he contacted before was one of the eight secret masters, Mohuraka.
Now, two more secret masters have come to Nanyang City. It seems that this night organization really values Nanyang City.
"That's good! But we still have to be careful about Xiaoyao Island." Mao Jiang said.
Ji Ming turned to look at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Aren't they your allies?"
"It's just mutual use!" Mao Jiang said.
"What about us?" Ji Ming's expression became even weirder.
Mao Jiang's face was calm, and there was no emotion in his eyes as he said: "It can also be said that we are using each other, but I hope to become one of the secret masters of the night."
"Haha~~"
Ji Ming chuckled.
…
In Mingyue Military Camp.
Lan Yuehou was sitting in the main tent, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
After capturing Nanxing City, he led the army to Nanyang City. However, it was very inconvenient for the army to travel, and it would take about seven or eight days to reach Nanyang City.
Yan Zhen and Wang Shouren were sitting in the tent. Yan Zhen was stroking his foot-long beard and drinking wine one sip after another.
Wang Shouren looked at Lan Yuehou curiously.
Lan Yuehou was full of mystery in his eyes, or should be full of mystery in everyone's eyes.
"So you're here for the Nightmare organization behind Nanyang City?"
Lan Yuehou looked at Yan Zhen playfully.
"That's right!" Yan Zhen nodded, with a serious look on his old face.
"Haha~~ The emperor's thoughts are really insidious, he actually plotted against me like this." Lan Yuehou said with a chuckle.
He called Emperor Li the emperor. Yan Zhen did not pay attention to such a great disrespect.
Although Yan Zhen didn't know the details of Lan Yuehou very well, he knew that Lan Yuehou seemed to have a background other than Dali.
"Yemu has appeared in Yunzhou since more than ten years ago. Although they did not do anything to harm Dali at first, their purpose is not simple."
"Over the years, His Majesty has been investigating the night events, but they are too mysterious, and we can't get much information."
"This Yunzhou rebellion is behind the support of the Yemu Organization. Not only do we need to quell the rebellion, we also need to find them out, drive them out, or directly kill them."
Yan Zhen stroked his beard and said slowly.
Although his voice was gentle, his words were full of hardness.
Lan Yuehou rarely showed a serious expression. He looked down at the wine glass in his hand. The somewhat turbid wine exuded a strong aroma, which seemed to seduce his greed.
He raised his head and drank, saying: "The organization of the night is not simple."
"Master Hou knows about them?" Yan Zhen asked.
Lan Yuehou was silent for a while, "They are from the Peacock Dynasty!"
Yan Zhen's expression moved slightly.
Peacock Dynasty!
It was a huge dynasty thousands of miles southwest of Dali. Dali had never interacted with it, and there was naturally no conflict between the two sides.
As for the strength of the Peacock Dynasty, it can only be said that it is very strong, but Yan Zhen does not have a precise concept of this. After all, he has never been to the Peacock Dynasty or even been in contact with the Peacock Dynasty.
"But they don't belong to the Peacock Dynasty, or we should say they are the rebels of the Peacock Dynasty!" Lan Yuehou said.
"Rebellion!" Yan Zhen looked at him in surprise.
Lan Yuehou nodded slightly, "Among the southwestern countries, the Peacock Dynasty is the strongest, but the forces within the Peacock Dynasty are also the most mixed. Various rebel forces emerge in endlessly, and Ye Mu is just one of them."
"Why did they come to Dali?" Yan Zhen asked.
Lan Yuehou picked up the jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "I don't know, I don't know much about the southwest countries, I just heard about the organization Yemu."
Yan Zhen looked at him deeply.
Don’t know much about the southwest countries!
Then you still know the origin of the night!
You must know that Li Huang has been investigating for more than ten years but has not been able to find out the origin of Ye Mu.
It's not that Lihuang is incompetent, but that the Peacock Dynasty is too far away from Dali. Lihuang's intelligence system can only reach the southern barbarian countries, and cannot reach the Peacock Dynasty at all.
"The Marquis should be from the South China Sea Islands!" Yan Zhen said suddenly.
Lan Yuehou grinned, "You don't need to test me, the emperor knows my identity very well."
The north of Dali is a desert grassland with large and small Rong royal clans, the southwestern part of Dali is the southern barbarian kingdoms, and further south is the Peacock Dynasty. The southeast of Dali is the endless sea, with countless islands in the sea.
, and even many continents, with countless various forces.
The scope of influence belonging to Dali is limited to the many surrounding royal courts, and it cannot reach any further.
The strength of the Rong tribe in the north is relatively weak. Although they often invade the borders of Dali, their strength is actually far less than that of Dali.
The strength of the southwestern barbarians is stronger than that of the northern Rong tribe, but only the three major barbarian royal courts have contact with Dali. As for the barbarians south of the three major barbarian royal courts, they rarely interact with Dali.
In fact, the most powerful ones are the islands in the endless sea, which is a world with countless strong people.
Yan Zhen nodded slightly.
Lan Yuehou said again: "But the emperor has plotted against me, so he is not afraid of giving up his burden!"
He didn't know that there was a night organization in Nanyang City before, so he didn't think Emperor Li was plotting against him.
But now that he knows about Ye Mu's existence, it is obvious that Emperor Li wants to use him to deal with Ye Mu's organization.
Recalling what Lihuang said when he saw him before leaving the capital, he already understood in his heart that Lihuang had settled everything long ago.
"If Lord Marquis is dissatisfied, you can think of Qing Fushan!" Yan Zhen said.
"..."
Lan Yuehou was speechless for a while, "This old guy knows how to threaten me."
"Haha~" Yan Zhen laughed, "I think this is your Majesty's respect for the Marquis."
"Come on, I know his schemes best," Lan Yuehou said casually.
"Having been an emperor all his life, he only has calculations in his heart, but there is one thing he seems to have made wrong!"
Speaking of this, a playful and sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"What's the matter?" Yan Zhen was a little surprised.
Lan Yuehou grinned, his white teeth exposed, full of mockery.
"I won't tell you!"
Yan Zhen looked at this guy helplessly. If possible, he would like to beat up the bastard in front of him.
Just when Yan Zhen was dull, Lan Yuehou burst out laughing.
"Okay, I will take action against the Nightfall Organization, but don't expect me to do much. I can at most help you fight!"
He held out a finger.
"good!"
Yan Zhen didn't care about his ridicule and responded directly.
…
Inside the city of Danlian Mansion.
Qin Wei returned to his own courtyard.
After spending the night lingering with Situ Qianxue, Qin Wei felt refreshed the next morning.
After having breakfast under the service of Yuqing and Yuling, Qin Wei told Xiao Shunzi: "Prepare the carriage, let's go see the people of Shang Shang Yuanzong."
Xiao Shunzi responded and went to prepare the carriage.
Just when Qin Wei got on the carriage, Shi Luan came in a hurry.
"Meet Your Highness!"
She held a letter in her hand, which should be information from within the network.
Qin Wei took the letter and glanced at it, then he understood it and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"This Nanyang City is really lively, even the barbarians are involved in it."
"Your Highness, do you want to report this matter to the court?" Shi Luan asked.
Qin Wei shook his head slightly and said, "It's not necessary."
The Imperial City Division also has many spies in Nanman. If there is any big move in the Three Kingdoms of Nanman, the Imperial City Division can find out. Besides, even the person taking orders is now in Nanyang City, so there is no need for him to worry about the court.
"Get ready. In two days, we will go to Nanyang City." Qin Wei ordered.
"Your Highness also wants to intervene?"
Shi Luan asked.
Qin Wei smiled and said, "Why do you want to interfere? I want to watch a big show."
Nanyang City was a trap set up by Emperor Li for more than ten years. If he got involved, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
But it would be a pity if he didn't go to see such a big show.
"Let's go quietly and don't expose our whereabouts," Qin Wei explained.
"Here!" Shi Luan responded.
Afterwards, Qin Wei boarded the carriage and drove towards the base of the trap outside the city.
As the snare continues to grow, the base of the snare becomes larger and larger. What was originally just a desolate valley has now become a camp.
This camp is like the yamen of the Imperial City Division in Kyoto. It is not only responsible for training preliminary members for the net, but also has many civil servants responsible for sorting and analyzing intelligence.
Starting from scratch, Zhao Gao spent a year and finally laid the foundation for the snare.
But now Zhao Gao has gone to Kyoto, and Shi Luan is currently in charge here.
As soon as they entered Luowang's camp, Fire Cloud Evil God ran over with a sneer on his face.
"Meet Your Highness!"
This guy is living a very happy life recently.
After confirming that Qi Chao had no strange thoughts, Qin Wei recruited him back. First, he raised his cultivation level to the innate realm, and then let him join the net. Although this guy was a bit unreliable, but don't
I forgot that he is the number one killer in "Kung Fu".
Fire Cloud Evil God is Luo Wang’s first Tianzi killer.
Qin Wei glanced at him, nodded slightly, "Follow!"
"Here!"
Fire Cloud Evil God quickly followed Qin Wei's footsteps and walked towards the prison of Luowen.
