"That's why we gathered here tonight to wait for him to give us an explanation." The head of the Wuto Clan didn't know whether he should be happy or puzzled.
If Zhou Xingyun's identity is indeed like this, the Wuteng Sect had issues with Jianshu Villa and the Hong Gang before, and Mai Qin even made trouble for Zhou Xingyun during the Young Heroes Conference. It would be difficult for the head of the Wuteng Sect not to wonder.
What should be happy is that now that the northern soldiers are in rebellion, Wu Tengmen has turned their hostility into friendship with Jianshu Villa and the Hong Gang. Everyone has united to protect the villagers in the capital. Zhou Xingyun should not settle accounts with Wu Tengmen at this juncture.
"What I'm saying is... I hope everyone here can help me." Zhou Xingyun's voice entered the living room, immediately attracting the attention of the six people in the room.
Mai Wenchong and others looked out the door and saw Zhou Xingyun walking into the conference room with Wei Suyao, Ning Xiangyi and Xu Zijian.
"Grandpa, I invited them here." Mai Qin trotted up to Mai Wenchong, seemingly planning to stay in the conference room and listen to everyone's conversation.
"Good evening, Senior Brother Zhou."
"Junior Brother Xu, you are fine. How is Master Gu Mo?"
"Everyone is fine."
Xu Zijian suddenly came to say good evening to Senior Brother Zhou, and Zhou Xingyun was immediately confused. It wasn't until the representative from the town sent by Leshan sent a reply that he realized that the man in front of him turned out to be a brother with the same surname as himself.
"Senior Aunt Lin." Wei Suyao and Ning Xiangyi both sent greetings to the representatives of Shuixiange Town.
"Xiangyi, Suyao, have you also come back from Fujing City? Where are the leader and Senior Sister Deng?"
"The master, Elder Deng, and the Shuixian Pavilion disciples visiting Jianshu Villa are all waiting outside Shuimen Pass." Ning Xiangyi said truthfully.
"I have heard a little bit about what you did at Jianshu Villa. Now the martial arts community is in a commotion, and everyone is talking about the Apocalypse War. Shuixian Pavilion has also been implicated and criticized by Jianghu. However, since the leader decided to help Jianshu
Villa, there must be her reasons. Although I have many questions, I want to know what happened to Jianshu Villa.
Everything happened, but you should also see that now there is civil strife in the capital, and the people are in dire straits. Just protecting the villagers of Shuixian Pavilion Town has made me take great pains, and I have no time to delve into the process and reasons of the Apocalypse War. Now I just want to find out.
One thing is whether the leader has decided to let Narcissus Pavilion fully assist this gentleman in assessing the rebels."
Elder Lin of Shuixian Pavilion looked at Zhou Xingyun. People in the world today want to know what happened in the Apocalypse Battle at Qinglian Mountain on the seventh day of January, especially the various unsolved mysteries left behind after the war...
Why are several well-known and upright sects hostile to the Wulin Alliance? Where will the young masters who became famous in one battle go? Is the prodigal dead or alive? Although the Wulin Alliance succeeded in the crusade, the prodigal seems to be still alive, and the saint of Fengtian City is also alive. What do the righteous people plan to do?
Dealing with the prodigal and the saint of Fengtian City?
Elder Lin of Narcissus Pavilion, as a Jianghu man, is no exception, and wants to reveal the secrets of the Apocalypse War.
However, now that the northern soldiers are in rebellion, Elder Lin can only use the simplest way to confirm Shuixian Pavilion's policy and Zhou Xingyun's identity.
"The master and Elder Deng are traveling with the eldest princess. The disciples of Narcissus Pavilion will protect Her Royal Highness with all their strength." Ning Xiangyi's meticulous answer can be regarded as telling Elder Lin the stance of Narcissus Pavilion.
As soon as Ning Xiangyi finished speaking, Elder Lin of Shuixian Pavilion immediately knelt down to Zhou Xingyun: "The common people bow to the Crown Prince, Young Master!"
Upon seeing this, the others quickly followed suit and saluted Zhou Xingyun solemnly.
No matter what Zhou Xingyun's situation is in the world, no matter whether Zhou Xingyun is a notorious swordsman and a libertine of Shu, he is the current prince's young master and a first-class prince-in-law.
As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people. When a person from the Jianghu meets an official, no matter how strong his martial arts skills are or how high his seniority, he must behave obediently. Otherwise, he will be treasonous and contemptuous of the imperial officials...
Mai Qin saw her grandfather kneeling down, and was confused for a moment. Finally, he quickly followed him, knelt down obediently, and saluted Zhou Xingyun.
To be honest, the discrepancy in Zhou Xingyun's identity was too great. One moment, he was called a libertine by everyone, and the other moment, he was praised by the whole people as a prince-in-law. Mai Qin couldn't adapt at all.
"Seniors, please wake up... Hey! Don't you feel awkward when I call Mr. Fang the head escort? In terms of seniority, you are my uncle. How can you kneel down to me? Although I have been expelled from the master..." Zhou Xingyun was anxious
I hurriedly helped you all up. As a modern and good young man, the custom of kneeling is really embarrassing, let alone an older person kneeling to him.
"This..." Mr. Fang also felt very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the Young Master of the Crown Prince, the Wuteng Sect and I are ignorant of Mount Tai. We have offended you many times in the past, so I beg you to forgive me. Qin'er, you are the same, please come and apologize to your lord." The head of the Wuteng Sect hurriedly apologized to Zhou Xingyun.
"Yes... I'm sorry. I offended you so much. I hope you will forgive me." Mai Qin followed her grandfather's eyes and honestly bowed her head to admit her mistake.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Now that the northern rebels are in rebellion, we should put an end to the past and let the past conflicts pass. I am calling you all today just because I hope that everyone can join forces with Wu and Yue to fight against the enemy. As long as you can help the princess assess the rebellion, afterwards
There will definitely be great rewards."
Zhou Xingyun quickly turned to the topic, hoping that the six representatives in front of him could summon all the forces in the capital to jointly defend the welfare of the people and fight against the northern rebels.
"We, the children of the Hong Gang, are willing to obey your orders." Li Tai, the leader of the Hong Gang, agreed without hesitation. A few months ago, under the coordination of Li Hong, he visited the Zhou Mansion and met Zhou Xingyun, so naturally he would not
Doubt his sincerity.
only……
"Master Zhou, um... do you have... an edict?" Elder Qi Gong hesitated, hoping that Zhou Xingyun could come up with something to prove that he was the prince's young master. Otherwise, he would not be credulous if he just said it without proof. After all,
This is related to the rise and fall of Qigong Palace.
"Does this count? The Golden Dragon Order of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor..." Zhou Xingyun did not carry the Empress Dowager's decree with him, but the token of the Sixteenth Emperor of the Emperor was always hanging on the neck of the puppy leader. After he woke up just now, he
I took the sheep and brought it back.
"Count it! How can the Royal Golden Dragon Order not count!"
"That's good. I hope that all the seniors can gather people to help me defeat the rebels when necessary. As for my identity, please help keep it secret. Except for your own boss, don't reveal it to outsiders. Of course... everyone here
All leaders already know my identity."
Zhou Xingyun said lightly, then walked outside the door and took Xu Zhiqian, who was eavesdropping, into the conference room. The talented lady took his place and discussed with the representatives how to defeat the rebels.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xingyun returned to his room and started the second round of meetings.
"Run'er, do you know the rebels' troop deployment?"
"As far as I know, there are three thousand people stationed at each checkpoint on the outskirts of the capital. Seven thousand people are stationed at the gates of the capital, and five thousand people are stationed at the high walls of the mansion area. A total of 21,000 troops."
Jin Runer told Zhou Xingyun and others all the information she had learned in recent days. There were about 9,000 rebels at the checkpoint on the outskirts of the capital. One-third of them were private soldiers of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, and the rest were probably recruited in recent years.
Bandit gang.
Seven thousand troops were stationed at the gate of the capital, including two thousand soldiers from the north and five thousand soldiers who followed the emperor's sixteenth son to rebel.
The five thousand soldiers and horses on the high wall of the palace area were the northern soldiers commanded by Song Xiguang. They would wander outside the imperial city gate every day, making an aggressive posture, putting pressure on the imperial city guards, and making them restless.
The left guardian of Fengtian City, Cheng Yan, waited for Jin Run'er to finish speaking, and immediately added: "If you have a good countermeasure, I suggest you take action as soon as possible, otherwise the guards of the imperial city will not be able to hold on for long."
"Why can't they last long? Could it be that the northern soldiers have already begun to attack the imperial city?"
There is no guarantee that we can capture the Imperial City.
"No, I mean that the body and mind cannot bear it. The northern rebels will ask the imperial city guards to open the door every day. If they don't open the door, they will torture and kill a hundred people in the capital at the entrance of the imperial city in public, and the people who died tragically
Most of them are relatives of the Imperial City Guards..."
Cheng Yan said very seriously, now the corpses of innocent people have piled up in mountains outside the imperial city gate.
The reason why the Wu Teng Clan, the Hong Clan and other Jianghu sects share the same hatred and fight against the rebels is because the opponents are inhumane and kill innocent people indiscriminately, leaving them with no way out.
Today, representatives of various sects in the capital did not hesitate to support Zhou Xingyun in quelling the rebellion. That was when everyone became anxious, fearing that a large force of northern rebels would arrive in the capital, and then they would have no choice but to flee for their lives.
"I also want to act as soon as possible, but the problem is... I can't find a breakthrough now." Zhou Xingyun clenched his fists. It seemed that he still underestimated the enemy. The northern rebels used all means to take innocent people as hostages and forced the imperial city guards to open the door.
If everyone in the imperial city knew that the rebels were killing innocent people indiscriminately, the person who suffered the most might be Han Feng...
If Han Feng fell into the trick of the Sixteenth Emperor and opened the city to fight in order to save the people, he would be playing into the enemy's wish.
"It's best not to let me meet that beast, otherwise it will die without a burial place!" Rao Yue's murderous intention rose, her eyes flashed sharply, and her gloomy face could not help but make everyone feel horrified.
"Xiao Yue, does she know who advises the Sixteenth Prince?" Zhou Xingyun silently grabbed Rao Yue's little hand. This was the first time he saw the little fox look like this when he was angry.
"Of course. Apart from injuring your beast, who else would think of such a cold-blooded thing." Rao Yue replied faintly. The entire rebellion plan, including the Wulin Alliance's crusade against Zhou Xingyun, was probably a conspiracy hatched by the Lord of Fengtian City.
"Early tomorrow morning, let's go into the city and take a look at the situation. We can no longer let the rebels run wild and harm the people of the capital." Zhou Xingyun said categorically that control of the capital must be regained from the hands of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor as soon as possible.
