I'm the villain in the book

But when he saw the content on the paper clearly, his pupils shrank uncontrollably and his expression instantly became extremely stiff.

Those were [-] small, somewhat illegible characters, or to be more precise, a sentence was repeated three times.

And as for what was written...

【Do not enter Niutoushan】

【Do not enter Niutoushan】

【Do not enter Niutoushan】

"..."

With his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, Han Zhao quickly forced himself to calm down, turned his head and asked:

"Master You, where did this note come from?"

"I do not know."

You Wenzong shook his head, it didn't look like he was lying from his expression.

Seeing that Han Zhao was full of disbelief, he then explained briefly.

"General Han, this note was put in a vial and thrown into my carriage this morning."

"But the strange thing is that the surrounding guards didn't find any suspicious person. The person who wants to come here to deliver the message probably doesn't want me to know his identity."

"Huh? Didn't find anyone?"

Han Zhao's heart was beating violently at this time, but his face still did not show a trace of panic: "Master You, there are at least hundreds of guards around your carriage, how could you not find anything abnormal?"

"That's the weird thing about this."

You Wenzong took the note in his hand, frowned and said: "Unless this person knows some clever tricks, it should be a soldier who did it when others didn't notice."

"And I see this person's handwriting... as if it was written by a woman."

"woman?"

Han Zhao looked bewildered.

Although he is nervous now, he still has more doubts in his heart.

This mysterious man obviously knew that there was an ambush in Niutoushan, and was planning to destroy the ambush.

But how did such a secret thing be known to outsiders?

Someone on Wei Changtian's side leaked the news?

But even if there is such a secret work, why is he unwilling to show up?

You must know that what you say in person is more credible than a mere note.

Oh, and also.

This person turned out to be a woman?

All of a sudden, countless questions came to Han Zhao's mind.

Although You Wenzong couldn't figure it out, but now he is not going to discuss these unimportant details.

"General Han, it doesn't matter who the messenger is right now."

"We should think about whether what she said is credible."

"Well, my lord is right."

Nodding his head, Han Zhao had already thought up his words: "From what I see, this may be Wei Changtian's conspiracy."

"He sent this letter from the secret staff in the army, intending to make us shrink back, thereby delaying the marching speed of the army until all the reinforcements from Dali arrive."

"If this is not the case, why is the messenger unwilling to show up?"

"It must be because this person couldn't tell the reason why he didn't want to enter Niutoushan, so he could only leave a short note!"

"..."

In all fairness, Han Zhao's explanation is very reasonable.

Niutoushan is the fastest route to Shuzhou City, and it will take at least seven or eight days to switch to other routes.

And this is why Ning Yongnian ordered the army to go to Niutoushan, in order to surround Shuzhou City as soon as possible before Li's army arrived.

But the note that suddenly appeared now was intended to divert the army to another route, which was indeed in Wei Changtian's interest.

but......

"What the general said is reasonable, but what if what this letter says is true?"

You Wenzong frowned: "If there is really an ambush in Niutou Mountain..."

"Master You!"

Han Zhao suddenly interrupted in a deep voice: "If a mere note of unknown origin can influence the deployment of our army, how can we fight this battle?!"

"If we receive another note in the future, telling us not to enter Shuzhou City, will we really not attack the city?!"

"..."

The bumpy carriage made You Wenzong's already weak figure a little unsteady.

Although the tone of Han Zhao's last two sentences was heavy, they still made sense.

Indeed, if you believe all gossip, then this battle really cannot be won.

Although You Wenzong is only a civil servant, he certainly understands this.

So after several struggles, he finally nodded silently.

"Don't blame the general. We wait for the civil servants to stand in the court for a long time and calculate each other all day. It is inevitable that our thoughts will be too heavy."

"This is indeed not the way to march and fight, so this matter...let the general decide."

"..."

Dark clouds are densely covered, and thunder and lightning can occasionally be seen rolling in the clouds.

The rain has not yet fallen, and the 20 troops are still marching quickly towards Niutoushan in the gray sky.

Several subtle responses allowed Han Zhao to successfully deceive You Wenzong, but in fact, even if he failed to deceive, there is a high probability that there will be no problems with the whole plan.

After all, it is less than two hours away from Niutoushan, if it is not possible, he can use "physical means" to temporarily shut up You Wenzong.

In just two hours, Han Zhao, the general, was still able to completely control the army.

In other words, even if Ning Yongnian suddenly sends a message telling the army not to enter Niutoushan, it will not work.

In this way, after several twists and turns, the Battle of Shuzhou is finally about to turn around.

And it can no longer be reversed.

Chapter 481

At the end of the unitary hour, there was still an hour before the expected time for the start of the Niutoushan ambush.

Hundred Thousand Mountains, Cliff Valley.

The cold wind blows in the empty valley, and the fierce beast embroidered on the tooth flag sways with the wind, and the appearance of baring its teeth and claws seems to come alive.

And if you move your eyes a little further down, you will find that compared to the vicious scene in front of you, the level of horror of these tengu patterns that can make children stop crying is not worth mentioning at all.

A ferocious beast with a fierce look on its head, each of the robust soldiers in black armor, each with a cold light on their blades, gasped heavily and brutally.

When [-] monsters with strengths of at least seventh rank stood together with [-] Shu army elites, the powerful oppressive force they produced was not even weaker than the sword that Qin Zhengqiu swung that day.

Hidden in the mountains and trained for nearly two months, this tengu army, which is enough to shock the world, is finally about to appear in the world for the first time.

"General Du!"

The Dianjiang platform built of random stones is very simple and rough, but it is very harmonious with this barbaric environment.

A soldier in black armor ran up to Du Chang, stood up and shouted:

"The entire battalion is here!"

"General please order!"

"..."

Nodding slightly, Du Chang turned his head to look at Yang Liushi who was standing not far away, and nodded slightly at the latter.

Compared with before, Yangliu Shi at this time seems to have changed a lot.

Although she still has that heavenly appearance, the charm in her bones seems to have decreased a lot, and it is more like an iceberg that no one can get close to, with a cold chill all over her body.

The gust of wind rolled up the corner of the skirt a few inches, and the black hair flew behind him.

She turned her head and looked back at Du Chang, her delicate chin raised and lowered.

Then, Du Chang's cold voice resounded throughout the valley.

"set off!"

"..."

"Crash!"

Following the words Du Chang uttered, ten thousand black armored soldiers all turned over and leaped onto the backs of various monsters around them.

Tigers, leopards, wolves, eagles, falcons and vultures.

Although the types of these ten thousand monsters are not the same, and their ways are also slightly different, some monsters are even two or three realms higher than the soldiers riding on their backs.

But at this time, none of the monsters resisted.

Beasts are rushing in the forest, and birds are passing by at low altitude.

Amidst the rolling dark clouds, the Ten Thousand Heavenly Dog Army passed through the dense forest like this, moving towards the east at an extremely fast speed in a messy and uncluttered manner.

Du Chang and Yang Liushi are naturally at the forefront of the team.

One of them was riding a black tiger, and the other was riding a white horse with oxtail.

"Miss Yang, my son asked me to tell you that you must protect yourself after the war."

"Also, if there is a big victory tonight, the girl can go back to Shuzhou City."

Riding on the tiger's back, Du Chang quickly conveyed Wei Changtian's latest instructions to Yang Liushi who was beside him.

The latter turned his head, his red lips parted slightly, and he replied softly:

"okay, I get it."

......

......

Daning capital city, imperial palace, Shiqu Pavilion.

"Snapped!"

Throwing the vermilion pen heavily on the pen holder, Ning Yongnian looked at the half-read memorial in front of him, but felt agitated for no reason.

He had felt this way several times today, and each time it got a little more serious.

"Your Majesty, you haven't closed your eyes for several days."

Li Huaizhong, who was serving at the side, came closer, lowered his body and whispered, "It's better to rest."

"Rest? If the Wei family is not eliminated, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Ning Yongnian took a deep breath, closed his eyes and asked, "Where is Han Zhao now?"

"At noon, General Han sent a letter saying that he had traveled three hundred miles from Niutoushan."

Li Huaizhong glanced at the sky outside the hall: "I'm afraid we have already reached Niutoushan by now."

"Where's Wu Ding?"

Ning Yongnian still closed his eyes: "How about him?"

"General Wu has escorted Li Qi to leave Fengyuan and is heading to Huailing Mansion."

Li Huaizhong replied again: "You should be there in five days."

"Um......"
