C125 The Spy
Zhang Jingxuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. He then called Zhang Nanyao, Zhu Ziming, Chen Beijun and a few other leaders to his side and said in a low voice:
"Brothers, now is not the time to celebrate. There is something that needs to be done as soon as possible. Speed is important in war. Mi Shuhuang has already withdrawn his troops, and he will probably leave very soon. Looking at the direction, he will return to the provincial capital. We should take advantage of this time. I want to call back to the county. Give me 200 elite soldiers to end the battle quickly. "
Zhang Nanyao frowned and advised," Eighth Chief of Brigands, can you wait for First Chief of Brigands and the others to finish their seclusion before you go. After all, First Chief of Brigands has already handed over the mountain stronghold to you. "
In other words, it did not seem like a good idea to leave the mountain stronghold at this time.
Zhang Jingxuan heard Zhang Nanyao's words and nodded slightly. Then he shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang is right. Originally, brother entrusted the stronghold to me at the last minute. I shouldn't have left the stronghold so easily. But now that Mi Shuhuang has been defeated, the threat of the stronghold has basically been resolved. Morale wasn't a problem either. With seventh elder brother and everyone else present, the Breeze Stronghold would definitely be impregnable. It would be indestructible.
However, the Lei family in the city, although Lei Benlei, Lei Zhenlei and Lei Feng'er were no longer around. I have a feeling that this isn't as simple as it seems. If he didn't settle these matters earlier, it would still be a huge problem for him. Therefore, we must make this trip, and it's better not to be too late."
The lightning shook. It was an organization that the two elders of the Lei family had built with all their efforts. It was a complicated organization, and it was filled with talented people. Since the Lei family had almost succeeded in the Breeze Stronghold yesterday, it was likely that they had succeeded in the past few days. They must have controlled a shocking force.
Lei Zhenlei's poison skill had reached perfection. Through the poison Thunder Wind, he had controlled many people in the martial arts world. At the same time, he had let the person closest to him consume the Thunder Wind to ensure that the person would not take the risk and lose control.
Now that the two elders of the Lei family had died, the organization was shaken, and they had temporarily lost control. This was an extremely large power in the martial arts world, and it was also a volcano that could erupt at any time. If it was not handled properly, it could cause a huge disaster.
When Zhang Nanyao and the others heard Zhang Jingxuan's words, although they knew it was inauspicious, I think so too. Most of them were thinking from the perspective of the stronghold. They never thought that Zhang Jingxuan would be so young. He could easily jump out of the current situation. He was looking at the long term.
This was even more worthy of Zhang Nanyao's praise than his strength. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was truly a young hero from ancient times. Eighth Chief of Brigands was only so old, yet he already had such skills and knowledge. His future development would be immeasurable.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhang Jingxuan said, "Brother Tian Liewu, please send someone to contact the scouts in the county town and see if there are any unusual movements from the Lei family. Also, contact Zhan Kuiyuan. If necessary, we need his help to open the city gate.
Zhu Ziming, please bring 200 cavalry troops with me. The rest of you, guard the stronghold closely. I will definitely return as soon as possible. When I'm not around, Big Brother Zhang Nanyao and Big Brother Zhang will assist seventh elder brother in managing the stronghold's affairs. Thank you for your trouble. "
After Zhang Jingxuan made some arrangements, Zhang Nanyao, Zhu Ziming and the others accepted the order wholeheartedly. He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Mi Shuhuang's horse was injured by me just now. Please bring it back, Brother Zhang, and treat it. It's just a fracture. It's still a fine horse after recovery. "
Zhang Jingxuan did not show any mercy when attacking in a hostile situation. Now that the dust had settled and they were busy, they did not forget a wounded horse. Everyone felt a warmth in their hearts. They secretly sighed at the extraordinary character that Lee Yuming had set his eyes on.
He left immediately, and Zhang Jingxuan was just about to bid farewell to everyone and set off. Suddenly Lee Huanqing bit her lips and said, "Eighth Chief of Brigands, take me with you. I am familiar with the county. I am not unfamiliar with Lei family. I can help you with anything. Didn't Mr. Lee ask me to help you... "Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Zhang Jingxuan.
" Alright, alright. There's no need to say anymore. Since you want to go, let's go together. " How to deal with girls was one of Zhang Jingxuan's shortcomings. Therefore, he would rather not get entangled with them and spend less time and effort to make a decision. However, he did not know whether it was right or wrong to act like this.
No one spoke anymore. The Breeze Stronghold's efficiency was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, zhu Ziming had already led 200 elite cavalry troops to wait in formation. With Tian Liewu and Lee Huanqing in tow, Zhang Jingxuan waved his hand and 200 soldiers departed in unison. Other than the rumbling of hooves, there was no other noise.
Zhang Jingxuan was riding a white horse with a sword hanging from his waist. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, and his immature face was filled with the aura of profound. In just a single day and night, Eighth Chief of Brigands, who had risen from an unknown little constables to the most famous mountain stronghold, the Breeze Stronghold, had arrived. After the battle just now, Zhang Jingxuan had unknowingly revealed the aura of a great general. The aura of a king.
However, there weren't many people who had such sharp eyes at this moment.
Zhu Ziming led a team of twenty at the front of the group, while Zhang Jingxuan formed the middle of the group with 150 people. Behind them, the leader of the team led thirty people to cover the retreat, and before the team set off, Tian Liewu's men had already set off to scout the road ahead of time. They passed all kinds of messages to Tian Liewu. If it was necessary, Tian Liewu would report to Zhang Jingxuan to make the decision.
The entire team was orderly and orderly. As they rushed forward, in the blink of an eye, more than half of the journey had been completed. Zhang Jingxuan ordered that they did not rest on the way and attacked as soon as possible, hoping to catch the other party off guard.
Along the way, they slowly arrived at a place where there were signs of human habitation. Zhang Jingxuan looked over one by one and saw the broken walls and ruins. Not far away, there was no life in the village. It was the time to eat, but there was not even smoke coming out of the kitchen. The fields were all desolate.
The early spring season was supposed to be a busy farming scene, but along the way, they saw farmers in twos and threes fiddling with something in the soil. They did not know if they were farming or not.
At this moment, Tian Liewu suddenly drove his horse closer. Zhang Jingxuan knew that there might be a situation. As expected, he heard Tian Liewu say, "Eighth Chief of Brigands, the scout ahead has news. He said he caught a few spies along the way. They asked Eighth Chief of Brigands to give them instructions to directly kill them and continue on their journey. Or should we interrogate them? "
A casual decision could change the fate of many people.
Zhang Jingxuan originally intended to kill his way to the city, but now it seemed like there was an unexpected situation. In addition, he could rest here for a while to avoid the people and horses being tired. So he said, "Send my orders. Everyone, rest here for half a quarter of an hour. We will go and see who we have caught. We can also ask about the other party's situation"
The messenger ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest. They gave the horses some water. Zhang Jingxuan brought Tian Liewu and Lee Huanqing forward for less than half a mile before they saw the spies that the horse had caught.
