Sun Pang and Wang Yue sat in the back hall and frowned slightly. They were thinking about Gu An leading the Suppression of Evil Division team to attack the Yantuo Sect.
They were not very worried about this at first, after all, they had already spread faith in Yan Tuo Sect.
But now they felt something was wrong.
The journey from Nanyuan City to the Yantuo Sect's headquarters should be about three hours. The horses will be tired after just running once, so it takes three and a half hours, even if it takes another half an hour because of eating and other trivial matters on the way.
.
That is a total of seven hours.
Gu An and the others set out at Chen time in the morning, so logically they should be able to return at Hai time.
But now it's three o'clock in the morning, and the people sent out to keep an eye on the city gate haven't come back yet.
This made them wonder, could it be that the Yantuo Sect left some clues when they retreated, and was caught up by the Zhenxie Division and had a big battle?
Sun Pang was the first to lose his temper and asked Wang Yue who was standing aside: "Did Zhenxie and the others catch up with the Yantuo sect?"
Wang Yue pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Wu Ren and the others have experienced three escapes. There should be no mistakes in cleaning up the traces before retreating.
Just wait, maybe Gu An and the others encountered other things on the way and were delayed.
If...if they haven't come back in half an hour, we will be ready to deal with it."
Sun Pang nodded thoughtfully.
He understood what Wang Yue meant.
If Gu An and the others have not returned after half an hour, it is very likely that they will get into trouble with the Yantuo Sect.
He and Wang Yue still don't know how strong Gu An is.
But what is certain is that Wu Ren, who is at the fourth level of the Sky Control Realm, will definitely not be able to stop him.
In the past two months, he has received some 'divine crystals' from the Yantuo Cult, which has improved some of his strength.
But whether he can defeat Gu An is another matter of opinion.
This was one of the reasons why Wang Yue was able to quickly suppress his anger last night when he stopped him.
Another reason is Xue Ke's letter.
Gu An is about to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs, so don't conflict with him openly.
Even if he hinders our plan, we must deal with him when we are confident in private...
Sun Pang took a deep breath, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and waited quietly.
Time passes slowly.
Half an hour passed quickly, within this half hour.
The expressions of Sun Pang and Wang Yue slowly turned solemn.
Just when Wang Yue was about to stand up and arrange some things.
There was a martial arts disciple outside the door, and he stumbled in.
"Palace Master! Palace Master! The Suppressing Evil Secretary is back!"
Sun Pang stood up and looked at Wang Yue, and asked quickly: "How is it? Are there any signs of fighting on their bodies?"
"Reporting to the Lord of the Palace, it was too dark tonight. I saw the sound of horse hooves in the distance on the tower. I looked through the binoculars and could only see that there were still about a hundred horses!
It was impossible to see if they were injured.
Thinking about the Palace Master's mission, I hurriedly came back to report."
Hearing this, Sun Pang and Wang Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"There are still more than a hundred riders, and there are no casualties. It seems that they have not encountered anyone from the Yantuo Sect." Sun Pang believes that although the Yantuo Sect's people are not very strong, in this case, they should be able to deal with them.
The team of Zhenxie Division caused a certain amount of damage.
But they didn't do any harm, so they must have not encountered them.
Wang Yue nodded: "Yes, I guess it was delayed by other things on the way."
Just when the Wufu disciple came back, Gu An and others happened to enter Nanyuan City.
Gu An had already put away his black hat and was walking ahead.
Shen Dong and other general bannermen followed closely behind.
Behind them are the team members led by the various banners of the Suppression of Evil Division.
And those disciples of the Yantuo Sect were brought by the last twenty-eight riders.
With the sky dark and smoky, it was natural that the martial arts disciple couldn't see clearly the two people sitting immediately behind him.
But when passing through the city gate, the burning torches allowed the guards guarding the city gate to see clearly.
Wait until Gu An and others have completely passed and turned into the next street.
They finally couldn't help but started talking.
"If I read correctly, there were two people on top of the last twenty or so riders of the Suppressing Evil Division's team just now?"
"And the clothes they are wearing look like they are from the Yan Tuo Sect?"
"Gu Baihu is amazing! On the third day after taking office, he has arrested more than 20 Yantuo Sect disciples, which is more than ten times more than those arrested in the previous two months!"
"..."
The guards did not think about why there were only more than 20 people, and where were the remaining 80 people.
In their knowledge, Nanyuan County Zhenxie Division has not arrested so many people from the Yantuo Sect for a long time.
It is estimated that most of the remaining 80 people escaped and a small number were killed.
Running on the streets heading to Wufu.
Gu An ordered: "Shen Dong, immediately go back to Baihu Office to gather men and surround me in Wu Mansion!"
Shen Dong was stunned for a moment: "Sir, do you want to take action directly?"
Gu An told him before that he was going to Wu Mansion to find Master Sun, but he thought he was just going to negotiate first.
But now it seems like the situation calls for direct action!
Gu An did not answer directly, but asked: "What, don't you dare?"
"No!" Shen Dong's face turned red: "I'll do it now! Come on!"
Waving his riding whip heavily, Shen Dong drove his fast horse, passed Gu An, and ran towards the Zhenxie Division.
On the high floor of Wu Mansion.
Sun Pang and Wang Yue were watching the whereabouts of Gu An and others with binoculars.
The originally slightly smiling face slowly solidified as the Suppression of Evil Cavalry gradually came into view.
"Old Wang, look at the team behind Zhenxie Division. Are there two people sitting on top?"
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment: "Indeed, could it be... that he is a member of the Yantuo Sect!"
When the two of them were surprised, they saw another strange picture through the lens tube.
"Wait a minute, why is it that only Yiqi Wangzhenxiesi went in the direction?"
"This direction seems to be... our place?"
They saw at the fork in the road ahead, only one horse was heading towards Zhenxie Division, and the remaining more than a hundred horses were coming towards their Wu Mansion.
The horses were so fast that they arrived at the gate of their Wu Mansion in just a few breaths.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yue exclaimed: "Not good!"
"Bang!"
Sawdust was flying.
The sound that accompanied Wang Yue's exclamation was the sound of Gu An driving a fast horse and smashing the gate of Wu Mansion directly!
Horses march to Wu Mansion!
"Hush!"
Gu An broke into Wu Mansion alone and pulled the reins to make the horse stop.
The other people who had been ordered in advance pulled up the reins and immediately arrived in front of the Wu Mansion.
"Who! How dare you trespass..."
Wu Mansion inspected the team tonight, and when they heard the movement at the gate, they all ran over and surrounded Gu An.
The leading instructor saw that the door of their martial arts mansion was broken into pieces, and someone even broke in directly.
And he was still on duty tonight. When something like this happened, I immediately felt angry and wanted to say a few harsh words.
But through the light of the lantern, I saw that shining bald head, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Gu An!
This is a ruthless person, a ruthless person who even dares to destroy all five limbs of the palace master!
Before he finished speaking, the instructor swallowed hard, feeling a little bit like he was riding a tiger.
Seeing this scene, Gu An sneered and shouted at the top of his voice to the inside of Wu Mansion.
"Gu An, a member of the Hundred Households of the Evil Division of Nanyuan County, would like to ask the Master Sun of the Wu Mansion of Nanyuan County to come out and speak!"
The voice containing Gu An's energy and blood, mixed with a spiritual force, spread into the Wu Mansion like rolling thunder.
Not only did it wake up some people who had fallen asleep in the Wu Mansion, it also alerted the Rogue Cultivators Alliance next to the Wu Mansion and the government officials sandwiched between the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and the Suppression of Evil Division.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Gu An, Gu Baihu?"
"Didn't they go to the trouble of Yantuo Cult in the morning? Are they back now?"
"I will definitely come back when I come back, but the question is why did I go to Wu Mansion directly as soon as I came back?"
"..."
Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Coming."
The same powerful voice came out, but without making Gu An wait any longer, Sun Pang and Wang Yue brought several elders of the martial arts to a place not far from Gu An.
The disciples on duty in the Wu Mansion saluted one after another and moved out of the way.
Sun Pang quickly came to Gu An, with a gloomy look on his face: "Gu Baihu, I didn't rest at night, so I came here to disturb people's dreams. Without being notified, I smashed the door of my Wu Mansion and broke in.
Should I give this Palace Master an explanation?"
Gu An smiled, did not dismount, and looked down at Sun Pang.
"Bring it up!"
"yes!"
Following Gu An's shout, the members of the Suppressing Evil Division who were already prepared outside the door came to the square with twenty-eight tied up Yantuo Sect disciples and stopped beside Gu An.
"Ah! People from the Yantuo Sect!"
"Yes, I caught so many at once!"
"..."
Hearing the surprised sounds of his disciples, Wang Yue coughed dryly and waited for them to quiet down.
Sun Pang said coldly: "It seems that Gu Baihu has gained a lot today. The Lord of this Palace would like to congratulate Gu Baihu on behalf of our Wu Palace.
But, Gu Baihu, you still didn’t tell me the reason why you broke into my martial arts residence without permission!"
"Master Sun, don't be anxious."
Gu An got off his horse and asked his men to pull his horse out temporarily.
"I have a few questions for Palace Master Sun."
"What's the problem?"
"First, Palace Master Sun, don't you know them?"
"Humph, Gu Baihu, are you kidding me? The master of this mansion is the master of Wufu in Nanyuan County. Have you ever met anyone from the Yantuo Sect?"
Gu An pursed his lips and nodded slightly: "I see, I don't know you. It seems that these thieves from the Yantuo Sect are deceiving me.
They said that they have been in contact with you, Master Sun, for more than three months. They gave you something that can improve your strength, and then you allowed them to enter the city to preach."
"This is nonsense!" Sun Pang's face turned red and he yelled angrily.
"Don't worry, Palace Master Sun, I think so too." Gu An nodded and pulled out the thing that the first person had stuffed in his mouth. Looking at his trembling body kneeling on the ground, Gu An knelt down and reached out to pat him gently.
Patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"Listen, Palace Master Sun said he doesn't know you. It seems that you were the ones who deceived me before?
You should know the consequences of cheating on me."
"Huhu!" The man gasped heavily, remembering Gu An's strength when they were at their stronghold, and eloquently said: "Sir! We did not lie to you!
Just today! Yes, just today, that’s why we withdrew from our stronghold in the first place!
This is the letter sent to us by Sun Pang! Sir, you have to believe us! Sir!"
Gu An pretended to be surprised: "What, you said it was a letter sent to you by Master Sun? Is there any evidence?"
"Sir! The letter is at Lao Yan's place!"
While the man roared, a Yantuo cultivator in the middle twisted his body, as if trying to attract Gu An's attention.
