After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1365 Ambush
"How to say?"

"Have you forgotten what we are going to do next?" He Lingchuan asked word by word, "What is the Nine Nether Emperor going to do?"

Kill Xue Zongwu!
Dong Rui understood and laughed: "As long as we achieve our goal, Yao Kingdom will not let them go."

"As long as we achieve our goal, Yao Country will not let go of any force that publicly claims to be the Nine Nether Emperor." Therefore, He Lingchuan is not afraid of others impersonating him.

After leaving the yard, he walked along the long rain corridor to greet Fan Shuang across the street, with a warm look on his face, "Brother Fan, you are finally back!"

All the actors are here, and now they are just waiting for Xue Zongwu to leave.

……

On the northern front of Yao State, Xue Zongwu’s camp.

The guards were dressing Xue Zongwu when Tong Huan came hurriedly: "General, you really don't need me to accompany you back to Tianshui City?"

"What's so great about returning to Tianshui City? I come back every year." He was returning to celebrate his birthday, not to go out to fight. "On the contrary, Shuangxi County Government has not yet settled its accounts, so you need to take special care of it."

Xue Zongwu had just shaved, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breath smelled bad when he opened his mouth, he could even smell it.

There’s nothing I can do. I’ve been so irritated lately that I can’t sleep or eat well.

No matter who finds himself being targeted by Qingyang Regent, it is impossible not to be anxious.

Those damned accounts can never be finished. They can never be finished!

No matter how angry he got or how many heads he chopped off, he could never finish his work.

"If Qingye Regent sends someone to check the accounts, those cowards in Shuangxi County will definitely let them do whatever they want. If they want to rebuild the accounts, they can rebuild them. If they want to check, they can check. How dare they say 'no'?" Xue Zongwu snorted at this point, "You go to Shuangxi and keep an eye on it for me. If they step too far, you fight them back. I'll take care of everything."

Tong Huan immediately responded "yes".

He knew that Xue Zongwu would only send his most loyal and capable confidants to do this.

"I'll leave Shen Sanduo and Liu Yizhao to you, and three hundred elite soldiers, you take them all to Shuangxi!"

Tong Huan was shocked: "Shen and Liu, the two lieutenants? They are your right-hand men. If they stay, who will protect your safety?"

"There are many powerful people around Regent Qingyang. She knows that sending people to check the accounts is likely to cause a conflict with us, so she will most likely send some experts to follow. If soft tactics don't work, they might try hard tactics." Xue Zongwu has led the army for many years and knows that fists are the most effective when words don't work. When the matter is done, no one can say anything.

Undoubtedly, Regent Qingyang is also very familiar with this routine, so he has to keep the most astute and loyal think tanks and generals to be able to deal with Qingyang and counter Qingyang's moves.

In comparison, domestic travel is just a formality and does not require so many capable people to accompany you.

"Shuangxi is not within the territory of Yao State. If Regent Qingyang thinks that she can still call the shots and do whatever she wants in my territory, then she is making a wrong calculation."

"Yes." Tong Huan continued, "Please be careful on your way back to the capital. Seven years ago, someone had evil intentions..."

Seven years ago, Xue Zongwu was ambushed on his way back to China.

Even though the killers failed in the end and were killed without a complete body, they were not the only group of people who seized this good opportunity.

Xue Zongwu said, "Hmm," "When have you ever been careless in going back?"

There were many people who hated him, and it wasn't just this year that they showed up. But now he was always thinking about Shuangxi, so he couldn't listen to Tong Huan's words.

At this time, a messenger came to deliver information.

Xue Zongwu opened the note and raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"General?" Tong Huan was worried that there might be some changes.

Xue Zongwu handed him the note: "The Mubang tribe claimed that they are the Black Armor Army. It is said that there has been a great uproar in the surrounding area."

"The Mubang tribe?" Tong Huan groaned. "Well, if it was really them, why would they admit it now? Why did they wear masks in the first place?"

"Oh, I don't believe it!" Xue Zongwu directly concluded, "The Mubang tribe can't produce that kind of army."

He was a general with his own vision and judgment. If he said no, Tong Huan would believe it.

"Will you send someone to investigate?"

"Not for now. Let's talk about it after I come back from Tianshui City." He is in trouble now, so how can he have the leisure time for this?
Xue Zongwu strode out of the tent. The army waiting outside was already fully equipped and ready to set off.

……

A few days later, at Yanmu Cliff.

The forests in this mountain area are sparse, and there are bare red soil and weathered boulders everywhere.

Weng Su hid in a rocky valley on the cliff, without making a fire, and took advantage of the terrain to overlook the entrance to the valley below.

It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing through the cliffs was heard, howling and whistling.

He stared until his eyes were sore, and there was no movement below. Just as he yawned, a figure flashed behind him. Someone was coming.

"elder brother!"

The person who came was also a big man, and his appearance was somewhat similar to him.

This is his younger brother, Weng Xing.

"What's going on in the city?" It was almost dawn.

"Mr. Xue is still in the city, but his team is saddled and leading the horses. They should be on their way soon." Weng Xing took out an oil-paper package and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of pancakes. "Finally, we don't have to eat plain pancakes anymore. Today we have bean and meat fillings, and lard and scallion sugar fillings!"

Weng Su took it and it was still warm. "Isn't this still a pancake? I just got five or six hundred taels from Xue Zongwu's unscrupulous accountant. Can't you make a few more changes for breakfast?"

They have been eating cakes for three to five days in a row.

There were all kinds of delicious food in the market, so why did his naive brother only buy cakes?

Weng Xing took out a few eggs from his pocket: "Boiled eggs, here you go."

Weng Su rolled his eyes.

Weng Xing took a bite of the pancake, his mouth full of oil: "It smells so good! Do you want to drink so early in the morning? We still have to fight later."

A few days ago, they spent all their money on wine, and ended up having to eat white bread to get by. If it weren't for the generosity of Mr. Qian who gave them a windfall, they wouldn't even be able to afford bread last night.

"It's not easy to kill the Xue guy. If we avenge Brother Tu, we might end up getting hurt. What's the point of taking these hundreds of taels of silver? Isn't it just a bargain for Xue Zongwu?"

"That's right." Weng Xing was startled, and the cake in his hand immediately lost its fragrance. If the two brothers were to fall into Xue Zongwu's hands, they would have no chance to use the money again, so they might as well enjoy themselves while they can. "How about I go and exchange it for some wine and meat?"

When he left, he seemed to see the seller setting up the stall. The roasted bamboo rat and the marinated rabbit smelled delicious, and there were also a few dried sausages hanging around. Oh! Why didn't he buy any at that time?

"It's too late. Don't delay the important work." Weng Su grabbed the cake and started eating. "Before Xue Zongwu arrives, check the mechanism again. Don't let it go bad when the fight starts."

"Oh, and there are some pickles." Weng Xing took out another bag of pickles from his storage ring. "Luckily I didn't pawn this ring. Oh, brother, when I went to the city to buy things, the rumors were already spreading that a man in black armor had robbed and killed a nobleman in the street. Everyone was smiling and talking about it with details, as if they had seen it with their own eyes."

He also smiled and said, "What do you think? If the real Jiuyou Emperor hears about this, will he blame us two brothers for impersonating him?"

Weng Su stuffed the pickles into the pancakes and said, "Why are you blaming us? Aren't we also acting for justice? They can kill the evildoers, but we can't? Qian is just an accountant, but he can carry so many jewels with him. He is not a good person! He must be using the tiger's skin as a banner to bully the local people!"

Weng Xing touched his nose, feeling a little guilty: "But we borrowed the name of the Great Emperor Jiuyou and killed someone."

Weng Su glanced at him and said, "Are we going to shout out in public that we are the Nine Nether Emperor?"

"No, that's not the case." They just put on night clothes, masks, and created a little smokescreen effect...

"Who can't use this outfit? Who can't wear night clothes, or who can't wear a mask? Does the one who wears this outfit have to be the Nine Nether Emperor?" Weng Su finished eating the biscuits and wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes. "The most important thing is, there are so many evil people in the world, how long can the Nine Nether Emperor kill them all?"

The more he spoke, the more righteous his words became: "If he knew that we brothers also fight violence and kill the big evil people who oppress the good, he might appreciate us even more and recruit us into his Black Armor Army!"

"That's true." Weng Xing was convinced by his brother and muttered, "It would be great if the Nine Nether Emperor really came from the Netherworld. If we two brothers fail to kill Xue Zongwu and die bravely, we can become two ghost generals under the Nine Nether Emperor and ask him to lead us back to the human world and seek revenge on Xue!"

"When the time comes, Xue Zongwu will look at us as if he has seen a ghost. Hehehehe... No, we will indeed be ghosts by then!"

Weng Su looked at him and sighed.

This silly brother.

Weng Xing understood his look and said unconvincedly, "Why are you laughing at me for being stupid! There are gods and evil spirits in this world, so why can't there be the Nine Nether Emperor?"

"Yes, why can't there be one? Nowadays, there are indeed more and more people who believe in the Nine Nether Emperor." Weng Su also knew that this kind of thing could not be explained clearly, so he simply pointed to the valley entrance below and said, "Let's go and check the mechanism."

The rock cliffs were all weathered boulders, and they could loosen the base with a little tampering, so Weng Su designed a whole set of mechanisms based on this; the mountain, which had been plowed by the wind millions of times, was full of cracks and holes, the widest of which could only accommodate three or four people side by side, and the narrowest of which even a pregnant woman could not squeeze in.

This kind of place is naturally suitable for guerrilla warfare and hide-and-seek.

The Weng brothers spent half a month carefully selecting before choosing it as the ambush site.

There were only two of them, but the opponent had 200 guards. Without the help of favorable terrain, this sniping mission would be an impossible task.

It took more than half an hour to complete the inspection. Weng Su was very satisfied with the traps he designed, especially the numerous mountain cracks that could serve as a convenient passage for the two brothers to escape. He also planned three escape routes.

"If Xue Zongwu comes, I will make him pay for his mistakes!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and made a bold statement.

The two brothers were full of confidence and sneaked back to their original place to continue waiting.
