The man in green with a vulgar face did not know that the woodcutter had regarded them as the mountain king. He waved his hand generously, handed over a package to one of them, took out the sesame cakes, jerky and clear water on the table, and then smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just indignant when I heard of such injustice. Come on, my brother, after saying this for a long time, it's cold, so drink a bowl of hot soup..."

At this time, the men next to them had already set up simple bonfires, and iron boxes were set up on the flames, and the aroma of the jerky meat stewed with wild vegetables continued to spread to the noses of several people.

"How can you be so embarrassed?" The woodcutter waved his hand quickly, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the soup pot, and his throat rolled.

Obviously, since the Western Invasion invaded, they have almost plundered all the excess food and grass from the people and forced these people to farm for military use. Nowadays, these people are still unable to eat and wear food. Seeing such delicious food, they are still a little scared of the identities of these people and dare not take action.

"Young man is so polite, sit down and eat. When I first arrived at the Guizhou area, I still have some questions to ask you to teach me." The man in green smiled and handed over a bowl of fragrant broth.

"So... I'm not polite. Can these pancakes be taken away by me? My mother hasn't eaten them for a long time..." Finally, her desire for food overcame reason. The woodcutter took the soup bowl and took a sip. A hint of satisfaction immediately appeared in her expression. She grabbed another pancake, but she couldn't bear to sip.

"It's okay, Sun Houzi, take more dry food for this guy to take home for the old mother to eat." Seeing the woodcutter pure filial piety, the man looked admiring.

"Okay." A thin man next to him came over and handed a packet of dry food to the woodcutter.

"Brothers, come here to have a meal." The man in green waved his hand and several people gathered up.

After a few sips of hot soup, the atmosphere suddenly became warm and warm.

"Brother, I just heard what you meant, Huaizhen Taoist Temple still had some contact with the Westerners. I won't hide it from you. We came from the north, because the war was blocked from the south of the Yangtze River for several months, but now we have no hope of returning home. We still have a few relatives in Jinshan Mansion and want to surrender to them, but after the Jinshan Mansion was occupied by the Westerners, the four people were not allowed to enter and exit casually. We have no local identity certificate, so we want to go to the city but cannot. Therefore, we want to walk through the relationship between Huaizhen Taoist Temple and sneak into the city." Seeing that the woodcutter had recovered his calmness, he ate the sesame cake and drank hot soup in big mouthfuls. The man in green began to chat slowly.

"When I go to Huaizhendao? The guests were very bold. If Huaizhendao used to be quite upright, although they had to ask for some incense money every year, everyone was willing to do so. But now, after Huaizhendao defected to the Westerners, he has been responsible for helping the Westerners here collect the grain and grass planted. He has to escort a batch of grain and grass and vegetables to the city every day. As for the people who transported the grain and grass, they were temporarily transferred from nearby villages. If several guests wanted to enter the city, they could only find a way to mix in the convoy... However, if they were caught, they would be beheaded, and they would not have a good reputation when they were mixed with them." The woodcutter hurriedly introduced what he knew, and finally reminded them to be a honest man.

"Oh, I see that the guy is very hard-working, so I didn't think about going to help transport food, so I could get some money and food?" The man in green smiled.

"Although I am hard to harvest firewood, I can do it with freedom, and my mother will not allow me to do the things that will be stabbed by future generations." The woodcutter's face showed anger.

"But the few guests were also relieved and wanted to go to the city to join their relatives. But the team that entered the transportation of supplies needed the guarantee of the village. You may not be able to do so." The woodcutter felt that his tone was a little heavy, and explained a few more words, carrying the firewood.

"Haha, it's okay. We'll ask casually. This road is not clear, so think of other ways." The man smiled.

"Several guests, my mother at home is waiting for me to go back to cook, so I will say goodbye first." The woodcutter said again.

"Young man, please bring these cakes with you and give them to your mother." Several men bowed to him.

"Thank you for your guests!" The woodcutter left gratefully.

Seeing the woodcutter walking away, the two men hid in the mountains and set up secret whistles, and the rest gathered together.

"Lin Dao, this Westerner was probably already informed of the fall of Jinling Mansion through Langyan. The defense around the city was extremely strict. Even the Western gangs who were coming and going must investigate carefully. It seems that it is impossible to get into the city directly. Only now can you find a way to get in with their team of transporting supplies." The man who had just handed the woodcutter dry food said, the man was full of strength, and it was Sun Desheng, the commander of the vanguard of the Kuanglan Army.

Because Roland had been separated from the organization for too long, and the Holy See was obviously deliberately paying attention to the operation, almost all the intelligence organizations belonging to the empire were destroyed. In desperation, Lin Laodao, Sun Desheng and others were sent in advance by Lei Dongfeng to detect the enemy situation and cooperate with the army to attack Jinshan Mansion. But he did not expect that as soon as he entered the territory of Jinshan Mansion, there were panic here, and there were signs set up by Western coalition forces along the way. Obviously, everything that was born in Jinling Mansion was known here.

Moreover, in response to the lessons of the Han soldiers' successive counterfeiting Shenwei Army to attack the city, the Western coalition forces significantly strengthened their inspection efforts, and even arrested friendly forces who did not cooperate with the inspection on the spot.

In order not to alert the enemy, Lao Dao and Sun Desheng divided their troops into two groups, walking in the wilderness. They did not capture the prisoners and asked for any information. Instead, they met Han people by chance and asked for various reasons.

But along the way, several people asked four or five people in a row, but none of them provided useful information. The old Taoist and the others came to Jinshan. They wanted to start with the Huaizhen Taoist, but they gained some gains from the woodcutter just now.

"Sun Houzi, what are you good at? Tell me." Old Taoist Lin Qingping said, pinching his sparse goatee.

"We are not willing to bother those people, and they will easily implicate them at that time. Moreover, once the coalition forces or Huai Zhendao people are killed, it will easily attract the attention of the enemy. It is best to find a way to enter the Huai Zhendao Temple to transport materials, and then find a way to enter the Jinshan Mansion with them." Sun Desheng gave an idea.

"But in what name do we enter the Huaizhen Dao?" the old Taoist frowned.

"Why do you need to sneak into the Taoist temple? Don't these dogs have to escort supplies to Jinshan Mansion every day? We just waited for the team of their supplies to come over. We asked the brothers from the other side to pretend to be robbers who intercepted goods halfway, causing them to be confused. We took the opportunity to sneak into the team of villagers. Anyway, Brother Qiao said that these villagers were temporarily transferred and were not familiar with each other, but they just covered us. Even if there was an accident, they could leave at any time in the wilderness." Sun Deshengdao.

"Well, pretend to be a robber. This is a good idea, just do it." The old Taoist smiled and nodded.

Jinshan Mansion Jinshan Huaizhen Taoist Temple.

Although the four great Taoist temples in the empire, Huaizhen Taoist temple is only ranked third, the Taoist temple is widespread than the Taishang Taoist temple in Songshan, the power and majesty are not as good as the Baiyun Taoist temple in the capital, and the Taoist temple in Qingcheng Taoist temple in Sichuan. However, when it comes to the ability to accumulate wealth and gather people, it is known as the best Taoist temple in the imperial capital.

Especially since Dao Mu Fancen took office, he not only made various names and collected incense money from believers and Taoists, but also claimed to be the most extraordinary person in the world. However, no matter how he embellished himself, Huaizhen Taoist Temple was still known as the most vulgar Taoist temple among the four great Taoist temples in the empire.

However, in Jiangnan, even the southeast coastal province of the entire empire, Huai Zhendao's believers were very widespread, and the thousand-year-old ancient temple where Huai Zhendao is indeed a place of cultivation in the wilderness.

But to this day, since Mu Fancen was obsessed with power, the capital of the North, and the coalition forces captured the province of Jiangnan, this place of cultivation became as noisy as a vegetable market, and the Taoist priests who came and went were full of official positions, money, and there was no Taoist nature as before.

At the foot of the mountain, people from nearby towns continued to transport the food, grass, vegetables and other materials cultivated under the supervision of the coalition forces to a temporary warehouse near the Yangtze River port at the foot of the mountain.

Every day, from this port, these materials were divided into two routes. One was escorted by the coalition navy for more than 30 miles of water, which was sent to Jinshan Mansion; the other route was escorted by Tongguan Route 6, and the Taoist priests from Huaizhen Road were responsible for escorting them to Jinshan Mansion.

The reason why the troops were divided into two groups was because not only were there materials on this waterway, but there were also constant troops transported to the vicinity of Zhenhai Mansion. The most important thing was that the coalition forces came to the empire this time. The navy was mainly warships, and there were not many ships transporting pure materials, so the six-way transportation became an indispensable supplement.

Originally, the materials should not be distributed in the small port at the foot of Jinshan. However, because the Han soldiers suddenly captured Jinling Mansion and originally designed to make wedding dresses for the Han soldiers at the hoarding points in Jinling Mansion, Jinshan Mansion became a temporary material distribution center for the coalition forces to besiege Zhenhai Mansion. However, there were not only garrisons in the city, but also various people who came and went temporarily, as well as the original residents in the city, and there was no place to store these materials. In desperation, the coalition command could only temporarily set up the material warehouse here and sent a whole brigade of 10,000 people to station and defend.

If a problem arises, the coalition's reinforcements will arrive quickly within half an hour.

In order to protect the security of the entire Jinshan Prefecture, the coalition forces stationed a mixed army of 30,000 people in the Jinshan Prefecture, including the three thousand most elite knights of the Third Legion of the Shenwei Army.

Although they were temporarily sent to Jinshan Mansion to station after the loss of Jinling Mansion, these Shenwei Knights not only had high martial arts skills, but had been through wars, but were even better at tracking, interrogation and raids. They can be said to be a team very similar to the vanguard scout commanded by Jing Zhan under Lei Dongfeng.

Moreover, this team has great power. Locke Renn, the commander of the army, was one of the Pope's ten personal knights. In actual power, he even passed the coalition commander of the Kingsoft Mansion.
