I see.

Li Ling suddenly realized that he had been wondering why Wen Ming had to force himself to stay in Jinling. After all, in this matter, his Yangzhou prefect was useless after reporting the message, and it was just a burden to stay here. Now he understood, but the other party actually suspected that he was the inner supporter of Luo Tian Sect, and even the elder Huo, the commander behind the scenes.

While feeling Wen Ming's deep thoughts, Li Ling's heart moved again. In other words, earlier, Governor Wen had already suspected that Elder Luo Tian Sect who was killed that day was not always in Jiangnan, so he would have a backup plan...

Zhang Xingying, who also tasted it, had a sudden change in his expression: "You..."

"Zhang Xingying, since you told me the truth just now, I can tell you something inside that you don't know." Wen Ming curled his lips slightly and stared at the other party with a smile, "You cooperated with me to abandon the soldiers and protect the car, and even I was blinded at the beginning. After all, the plan to lead the snake out of the hole was decided by me, and I was even blamed for it." As he said that, he glanced at Li Ling again, making the latter's face turn red.

"But soon, I realized something was wrong. Because this matter was so smooth, I used Li Ling as bait to lure Luo Tian Sect into a trap, and caught both elders at once. This was really unreasonable. If you were so easy to deal with, you wouldn't have been able to survive for nearly a hundred years. After thinking through all this, I knew that this was your plan to retreat as a step forward, lie down, and wait for me to make a mistake. Those who were sacrificed were just scapegoats."

Li Ling's face turned red. To be honest, although he had a trace of doubt in his heart after that time, he quickly ignored it. Because the incident on that day was indeed quite dangerous for him, he almost lost his life, so the final reversal was obtained after experiencing life and death, and the death was the two important figures he knew, which made him even more sure that this was the truth. The power of the Luotian Sect in Jiangnan had been uprooted.

But now when he thought about it, he understood. At that time, he was just a chess piece used by Wen Ming. It was inevitable that he would experience risks in the game. In fact, the Governor Wen was the one who planned to fight against the Luotian Sect. However, he did not go through any danger in this duel. It can be said that he uprooted the enemy. Once he took over his role, he would naturally have too smooth ideas.

Wen Ming's words continued: "Since I have seen through this, I will naturally be wary of it. At the same time, I will inevitably want to investigate again, find out the real opponent, grasp the identity of Elder Fire, who has all the power of Luo Tian Sect in Jiangnan, and what conspiracy he will have next.

"If you really get frustrated and honest, and are willing to lie in a few more years, decades, I really have no way to deal with you. But you don't have such patience after all. After only a few months, you can't help but take action again. Do you think the government will not know about the attack on the Cao Gang by the Dajiang Gang?

"I am not afraid of any conspiracy, I am afraid that you will not move. As long as you move, there will be flaws and traces to follow. As expected, you use the Dajiang Gang to try to lead our Jinling army away, and then let the Luotian Sect thieves who have already entered Jinling in batches seize control of the city, and even hold the official in hand. This strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and attacking the east and west is indeed quite impressive. If I hadn't been prepared for it, I was afraid that you would have succeeded easily!"

"My sir means...you, you have actually seen through their conspiracy a long time ago, everything is under your expectations?" Li Ling was full of surprise and admiration at this time. This time he was really convinced by Wen Ming, without any resentment. Even if he still used him this time, he no longer had his previous dissatisfaction.

Because compared with Wen Ming, I was really thinking too simple. If I had been in Wen Ming's position, I was afraid that I had already entered a desperate situation and would not have a chance to turn the tables. Now it seems that I was on the second level, while the Fire Elder of Luotian Sect was on the third level or even higher, and he was counted as dead. As for Wen Ming, I would smile at all their calculations on the fifth level. The only thing that was worse than me was the Dajiang Gang, who had become a tool man but did not know it.

At this time, Li Ling felt a little bitter. This was the first time he had experienced the frustration since time traveling, and the first time he had experienced the terrible nature of the true wise man in this world who had been calculating everyone and grasping them casually. Compared with such a person, he was a time traveler, but he was too insignificant.

Therefore, what the ancients lacked in comparison with modern people is only a few hundred years of accumulation, but in terms of wisdom, the best among the ancients will inevitably suppress the vast majority of later generations.

When Li Ling was filled with emotion and indignant, Wen Ming nodded slightly to him and said that this was true, Zhang Xingying suddenly laughed again: "Governor Wen, Governor Wen, this time even I have to admire you. Your fearlessness in the face of danger and your adaptability are better than many of the big figures in my sect.

"I didn't expect that at this point, you are trying to use such lies to intimidate me. Do you think I will believe this statement? You know, it is a fact that Jinling is now under my Holy Sect, and the emptiness of the city's garrison is also a fact. You have to make it happen. You dare to say that everything is in your control!"

Faced with his questioning, Wen Ming also laughed: "Why would you transfer the Jinling defenders away, will you come to your door by yourself? I just said that I am not afraid of you having trouble again, I am afraid you will hide like a rat in the ditches. As for what you said, Jinling is already in your control, and there is no power to defend in the city, I am afraid it is wrong."

"What do you mean?" A strong feeling of anxiety suddenly arose, Zhang Xingying shook and asked with a shout.

"Don't you understand? Who told you that after transferring the Jinling defenders, there were only those little soldiers left here?" Wen Ming smiled.

"This is impossible. It is to concentrate the servants of each yamen or the slaves and guards of wealthy families in the city, and there are not many people available..." Not every aristocratic family can be allowed to raise private soldiers like the Lu Xie family in Yangzhou. As the most important city in Jiangnan, such a force cannot exist in Jinling. Zhang Xingying can completely confirm this.

"Didn't you think about it?" Wen Ming shook his head, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party's stupidity. As he said, he looked at Li Ling, and he really had a little bit of the teacher's intention to take the student exam in the classroom.

Li Ling was also confused at this time. He saw that the soldiers guarding the city were transferred away with his own eyes. Besides, who else could use them to deal with the change tonight?

"Think about what is the most important thing in Jinling City recently." Governor Wen, a teacher, was very dissatisfied with the performance of the two "students", so he gave another reminder.

With this reminder, Li Ling suddenly understood: "Taxes... are the official troops from all over the country who sent money, grain and taxes to the city!"

Yes, there are still some official troops in Jinling, but they are easily ignored because of their purpose. And as long as Wen Ming makes arrangements, he can disguise them and stay in the city and wait for the accident to happen. After all, as his governor, he can control all the troops in Jiangnan.

Looking at Zhang Xingying whose face changed drastically, Wen Ming gave another heavy blow: "I know you just said so much, and you tried your best to explain and persuade me to delay time. Because you know very well that the number of manpower you brought may not be able to win the official who is determined to break through.

"But you must have never imagined that I am actually delaying the time and waiting for the chaos in the city to settle down. After all, it is still a bit dangerous to fight out the mess just now. Moreover, since you can catch all of you here, why bother with it? Have you noticed that the surroundings have actually been quiet? This means that the situation has been under control."

After receiving this reminder, Li Ling listened carefully and noticed that the chaos and screams around him were indeed much less than before. Zhang Xingying, who also noticed this point, had his face turned pale, but he still insisted: "Impossible, you are all lies. Jinling has been taken into our hands. Even your last reliance on the Liuzi Camp was also breached from the inside by my master. Those two thousand people were afraid that they would either die or surrender..."

"Are you the so-called Luotian Sect good players?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind, and with a cry, a black and spherical thing was thrown in from outside, and a thud was falling in front of Zhang Xingying.

Under the fire, it was a head with clear facial features on the head and wide eyes. Until now, the panic and surprise before death remained in his eyes. The same expression also appeared on Zhang Xingying's face. He recognized this identity at a glance: "Xue Chao..."

Yes, just two hours after entering the city, he easily arranged to enter the Liuzi Camp. The Luo Tian Sect's poisoning master Xue Chao, who thought he could take the opportunity to control the two thousand generals, was already in a different place at this time!

Just when all the Luotian scholars were stunned for a moment, there was a sound of killing sound outside, and torches were raised, and thousands of soldiers and horses were rushing over like waves, surrounding them who were surrounding the yard. A soldier and horse penetrated straight into like a sharp blade, splitting the Luotian scholar's formation and protecting Wen Ming and others.

Li Ling had sharp eyes and saw Xiao Dingbo and several generals from the Yangzhou Chuan Battalion from the front of the team. This made him fully understand that Governor Wen was really standing at the top this time and obeyed everyone.
