The two armies finally fought on the official road. Huo Yunsheng felt that his side had no advantage, so he quickly retreated with his men. Jin Chengzhang was afraid that the enemy would ambush, so he did not pursue him. After returning to the military camp, a scout came in and reported that it was

The body of Colonel Dou Dayong was found in a field outside the city, and his head had been cut off.

Huo Yunsheng was furious after hearing the news. Dou Dayong was his most powerful general. He had followed him for many years and had many military exploits. Unexpectedly, he died inexplicably outside Jianzhou City. In just a few days, he lost two generals one after another.

Unfortunately, he himself was hit by an arrow, and he was really anxious. After Huo Yunsheng treated the arrow wound, he summoned his lieutenants, captains, and staff to the central military tent to discuss countermeasures.

One of his subordinates, Colonel Hu Qiuren, stood up and made a suggestion: "General, I think we should withdraw all the soldiers to the east gate and eat the reinforcements of the palace guard first, and then consider the issue of attacking the city! Otherwise, we

There is no way to deal with the current situation, and it will be dangerous if we are attacked from both sides."

Hu Qiuren's proposal was supported by most of the captains and staff, but a small number of captains opposed it because once the other three gates were withdrawn at the same time, it would be easier to transport supplies from outside the city. Originally, Jianzhou had tall walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

, once the enemy transports enough supplies, it will be even more difficult to attack the city in the future.

Huo Yunsheng was a little hesitant after listening to everyone's arguments. At this moment, a small school came in and reported, "General, I have a strategy to send to Yamen Fei Ge to pass on a letter." Huo Yunsheng quickly took the letter and read it.

His face looked happy.

Seeing Huo Yunsheng's happy face, the school captain Hu Qiuren asked with a smile: "General, have reinforcements arrived from the Yamen?" Huo Yunsheng had a strange look on his face when he heard what Hu Qiuren said. It turned out that what he said in the letter was what Hu Qiuren had guessed.

same.

Huo Yunsheng laughed and said: "Hu Qiuren, I really didn't see it! You have been in our army for four years and have been unknown. Today, you can guess such a confidential matter. It's very good. I will praise you!" Hu Qiuren was about to come!

He was appointed as the military commander in charge of the Zhongyi Camp and asked him to command thousands of troops in the Zhongyi Camp. It is said that a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. This is the situation.

Hu Qiuren was overjoyed and stepped forward to thank Huo Yunsheng. When Huo Yunsheng learned that General Lin Guanqin had led five thousand soldiers and horses on the way to Jianzhou, he immediately decided to wait for Lin Guanqin to arrive and not move the soldiers and horses from the other three gates. He must be trapped

Death Sword City.

As for Jin Chengzhang, he was brave and cautious. He led his army from the fields, bypassed Huo Yunsheng's camp, and went to the camp five miles below the city, but did not enter the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city knew that reinforcements had arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, and their morale was immediately boosted. Jin Chengzhang's team protected the east gate, and for some reason they were not in a hurry to start a battle, waiting for the opportunity. Shui Ruyue took Zu Qingqiu, Weird Monk, Shen Xiaoyu and others

After entering the city, Tang Jiusheng was overjoyed when he saw Shui Ruyue. Only Xiahou Lingyu was a little sad when she saw Shui Ruyue. The matchmaker's eldest wife was here, so she had to stand back.

The weird monk, Tang Jiusheng and others saw Li and wanted to check the fat man's condition. The fat man was still unconscious. After some inspections, the weird monk confirmed that the magic in the fat man was called soul-stealing. The soul-stealing technique

It is a kind of evil magic that came from Daxia and has become extinct in the Central Plains over the years. Therefore, it is normal that it cannot be seen in ordinary magic and poison books. It is normal that Xin Zhiping is helpless about it.

The weird monk took out a small green porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a red pill, about the size of a thumbnail, and gave it to the fat man. After taking the pill, the fat man didn't wake up, but was obviously

I feel like my complexion is no longer gloomy, and my face is rosy.

Tang Jiusheng felt at ease now, and quickly ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain the weird monk.

During the dinner, the weird monk mentioned that this soul-stealing technique had harmed some people in the Central Plains a hundred years ago. The soul-stealing technique was introduced from a man named Yelu Ankang, who was the former leader of the Poison Master Sect of the Daxia Kingdom.

The weird monk did have a way to solve the problem, but he had to build an altar, which was a bit troublesome. Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "If you want to build an altar, go to the back garden of my palace. It's a big place and there's Brother Ape to protect the law. You can't go wrong!"

"

That night, the weird monk set up an altar in the back garden of Prince Wei's Mansion. He didn't ask many people to protect the Dharma. Only the big white ape sat aside and watched. The white ape was very psychic. When he saw the weird monk, he put his hands together in greeting. The weird monk was happy.

They couldn't close their mouths. One person and one person chatted like old friends in the back garden for a long time, making Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue laugh for a long time.

At night, Shui Ruyue and Tang Jiusheng lived in the same room. A reunion after a short break was naturally better than a wedding. It was a pity that Tang Jiusheng could not do anything but chat with the beautiful woman in his arms, not to mention feeling aggrieved.

Although Xiahou Lingyu knew this, she still felt sour when she returned to her room. How did she know that Shen Xiaoyu next door also had mixed emotions in her heart?

Shui Ruyue and Tang Jiusheng were chatting, and suddenly she remembered that Yu Desheng, the boss of Fushun Escort Agency, had come, so she asked coquettishly: "Little brother, you always said that you want to avenge me. I'm afraid that Yu Desheng of Fushun Escort Agency will make you forget

Come on!"

Only then did Tang Jiusheng remember what had happened. He patted his head and said apologetically: "Little junior sister, I'm really sorry. I've been so busy these days that I forgot about Yu Desheng! Let's get up tomorrow morning.

I will accompany you to the Fushun Escort Bureau to deal with Yu Desheng! Once the Escort Bureau seals him up and throws him into jail, it will be over!"

Shui Ruyue smiled and said: "I'm just saying Xiaoxiao, what's the chance of a little Yu Desheng? Let's solve the siege of Jianzhou first! A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, then Yu Desheng is a good man, I guess that guy heard about you

When we came to Jianzhou, he escaped without a trace long ago. If you want to catch him now, how can it be so easy? Can he still sit in the escort office and wait for you to catch him? "

Tang Jiusheng said deliberately: "Even if he runs away, I will chase him to the ends of the earth, so that he will know that no one else can mess with my wife, Tang Jiusheng! Who else does my wife have the face of except King Wei himself?"

No!"

Shui Ruyue said with a smile: "You are thick-skinned. If I comfort you a few words, you should take it seriously. Humph, I can forget such a big thing. Wait until you reach the fifth level of Tian Xuan Jue and see how I punish you!"

"

Tang Jiusheng also smiled and said: "I'm really worried about Yu Desheng being in the city. I'm afraid that he will betray the city's defense situation to the enemies outside the city, so we must go and visit him tomorrow." The couple joked for a while, and Tang Jiusheng

Let Shui Ruyue rest quickly. Shui Ruyue and three thousand troops and horses have been on the road these days, and they are exhausted.

Tang Jiusheng left the bedroom and came to find his eldest disciple Zu Qingqiu, and then came to Shen Xiaoyu's room. Zu Qingqiu and Shen Xiaoyu lived together, so if he wanted to see Zu Qingqiu, Shen Xiaoyu had to meet him. Tang Jiusheng Seeing Shen Xiaoyu's somewhat resentful look, he didn't say much, so he pretended not to see them. After greeting them, he asked Zu Qingqiu some questions about sword skills. Zu Qingqiu answered them fluently, and Tang Jiusheng felt relieved.

After all, Zu Qingqiu is his top disciple, so there is nothing wrong with being more strict with her. Then he called Zu Qingqiu to the courtyard, watched her practice sword skills in the courtyard, and gave some casual instructions.

Sentence, it seems that although this girl has been learning alchemy from the weird monk these days, she has not slacked off in her sword skills. Tang Jiusheng was very happy, as long as she worked hard. In fact, no matter how talented a person is, it is useless as long as they don't practice.

Talent and hard work can make you a martial arts master. This has been the case for thousands of years. Tang Jiu Sheng himself is a genius, so he naturally knows this. Tang Jiu Sheng did not sleep, and quietly called Ning Chenggang, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping, and asked the three of them to lead a thousand The troops and horses left the city and ambush two miles to the left of Jin Chengzhang's camp in Euphorbia to prevent others from robbing the camp. The three of them followed the order and left.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Huo Yunsheng's captain Gu Zhuhai was ordered to lead 2,000 troops to rob the camp. Unexpectedly, Jin Chengzhang had already prepared, and the two sides had a melee. Unexpectedly, Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei, Lu Fangping led his army in Attacking from behind, Gu Zhuhai was severely defeated and nearly half of his troops were lost. Gu Zhuhai could only lead his men to retreat in a hurry. Jin Chengzhang won a complete victory, and Ning Chenggang and the others moved their camp to the right.

When Huo Yunsheng saw Gu Zhuhai coming back dejectedly with the remaining defeated soldiers, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. He cursed angrily, ignored the pain from the arrow wound on his left arm, and personally led two thousand men to rob the camp again. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed again, relying on him There was a magic spell, and Jin Chengzhang recognized him and did not dare to let anyone chase him. Huo Yunsheng then retreated with all his troops, and he hated Jin Chengzhang even more.

At dawn the next day, Ning Chenggang, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping said goodbye to Jin Chengzhang and led their troops back to the city. At this time, Tang Jiu Sheng had already taken Shui Ruyue, Shen Xiaoyu, Zu Qingqiu and dozens of government officials to rush to Fu. When I arrived at the main office of Shun Escort Agency in Jianzhou, I found out that the big boss of Fushun Escort Agency, Yu Desheng, had transferred the business two months ago and left Fushun Escort Agency with his family.

Yu Desheng is a shrewd man. As Tang Jiusheng became the King of Wei, he would come to Jianzhou sooner or later. Wouldn't it be a big mistake if he were to pursue the matter of defrauding people of money when he was the housekeeper of the Shui family? So Yu Desheng transferred the business to Guo Lingming had already run away. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue only saw Wen Tianlong, the deputy chief of the escort agency. Wen Tianlong was surprised and happy when he saw Tang Jiusheng, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Tang Jiusheng smiled and helped him up, and joked: "Tianlong, we are also old friends after all, and I am just pointing out you to make money!" The three people mentioned burst out laughing, and the three of them talked about old times for a while, Wen Tianlong Insisting on inviting Tang Jiusheng to dinner, Tang Jiusheng refused with a smile, saying that he had many things to do, and invited Wen Tianlong to have dinner with him at the county governor's office another day. Anyway, he couldn't leave Jianzhou in a short time, and he would have to ask Wen Tianlong to find some food for him. Live to earn money.

Wen Tianlong smiled and agreed. He did not dare to force Tang Jiu Sheng to stay for a meal. Now that Tang Jiu Sheng was regarded as a prince, how could he, a young bodyguard in the bodyguard agency, reach such a high level? Tang Jiu Sheng and Shui Ruyue failed to meet Yu Desheng, so they He failed to deal with him, so he came here in good spirits and returned in despair. However, Tang Jiu Sheng was still very happy to see Wen Tianlong. Wen Tianlong was considered a local snake in Jianzhou and would still be useful in the future.

After returning to the county guard's office, Tang Jiusheng stood in front of the Jianzhou map, and Shui Ruyue began to analyze the enemy's situation. A man from the Owl Guard came in and delivered a secret letter. Tang Jiusheng opened it and was surprised. It turned out that the Owl Guard had received the news.

, it is said that the Yamen of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has sent another 5,000 people to reinforce Huo Yunsheng. They are already on their way to Jianzhou. They will arrive in no more than three days. King Wei please take more precautions.

Tang Jiusheng had just sent away the Owl Guard man when he received another secret letter from the Owl Guard. It turned out that the group of bandits that entered Jiannan Road from Southwest Road had also passed Luye City and headed for Jianzhou. Tang Jiusheng sneered.

Said: "It's rare that all these bird people are gathered together, so I don't have to go around to find you. Let's have a good fight under the Jianzhou City with real swords and guns! It's a mule or a horse, let's
Chapter completed!
