Zhu Nao

With the help of the Tang family army to intercept, the escape route of the cultists was blocked.In just a cup of tea, the cult members had already disarmed and surrendered.

Soon, Zhao Chongjiu was also dragged out of the crowd by Yanzhou soldiers in disgrace.

He was supported by several soldiers and thrown in front of Xie Wuji's horse, where he fell into the mud.He struggled to raise his head, only to realize that sitting on the horse was a young fair-skinned man.And this man is obviously the commander of this cavalry.

Although Xie Wuji had a handsome appearance, his expression was extremely majestic.He was condescending, and looked at Zhao Chongjiu coldly: "Are you the leader of the cult?"

Zhao Chongjiu shuddered uncontrollably when he stared at him.From Xie Wuji's tone and wording, he could hear how much Xie Wuji disliked Xuantian Sect. He knew that what was waiting for him would not end well, so he shouted in a desperate struggle: "Let go of me, you sinners! I It’s Shijun sitting down to sacrifice wine, if you dare to disrespect me, Shijun will curse you to have your intestines pierced and rotten, and you will die!”

After saying this, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army laughed and disdainful.The Tang family's soldiers gathered over also rolled their eyes, but most of the Xuantian disciples stared at Xie Wuji with hatred.

Xie Wuji frowned more and more, and was about to ask someone to drag Zhao Chongjiu down and cut him down, but Zhao Chongjiu seemed to have read his mind, and suddenly yelled: "Master has a spirit, and he is watching you! Who can cut it down?" The heads of these sinners will surely accumulate merit and prolong life!"

At the last moment, he even planned to confuse the crowd with evil words and incite the congregation to continue to resist.

The strange thing is that his various loopholes actually worked.The believers who had already been subdued suddenly became commotion, and several of them began to mutter something, as if they were praying for the protection of gods and Buddhas, and then, several believers suddenly rushed towards Xie Wuji!

The Yanzhou Army didn't expect that they would be surrounded by a few believers.Fortunately, Xie Wuji's guards reacted quickly, and quickly drew their knives and stepped forward to escort him.

Before they ran to the horses, the few religious believers who sacrificed their lives fell under the sharp blades—undoubtedly, none of them really got the protection of invulnerability.One counts as one, and all seek benevolence and benevolence.

Even so, the commotion continued for a while, and there were still believers who were not afraid of death rushing upwards.The Yanzhou Army cut down a dozen or so people, and the ready-to-move believers finally calmed down again.

Seeing this absurd scene, Wu Cong just felt incredible.What kind of mana does Xuantian Sect have, that it can fool so many people into believing those lies?When he looked back at Xie Wuji, he found that the veins on Xie Wuji's forehead were slightly bulging.Xie Wuji seldom did this, obviously he was extremely angry at this moment.

Zhao Chongjiu still wants to continue to confuse the public with false rumors and rescue the believers.The soldiers rushed up and blocked his mouth, preventing him from saying another word.

Xie Wuji paused every word and said: "Cut off this monster's limbs and dismember it!"

Although there was a lot of blood on his hands, he rarely tortured people to death.This time, however, he ordered Zhao Chongjiu to be executed by torture, for no other reason—these believers were clearly obsessed with ghosts, and to break their illusions, they had to follow the demon's lies!Now that he can’t catch Henry Zhang, let’s start with Zhao Chongjiu, let the believers take a good look, what gods, what shelters, it’s all nonsense!

Zhao Chongjiu was still struggling, but the executioner had already raised his knife and cut off one of his arms first!

Zhao Chongjiu's eyes were shattered immediately, and he wanted to scream, but his mouth was already blocked tightly, so he could only utter a whimper.What kind of sacrificial wine of Xuantian sect, in the end, is still a mortal body, eating, drinking and sacrificing nothing, tainted with greed, hatred, evil and desire.

The soldiers cut off his other arm, and then went to chop off his foot.

One knife after another, it is said that the lie should also be cut through, but a surprising scene happened again——

When the believers saw Zhao Chongjiu being chopped down, they looked dazed and terrified.Suddenly someone took the lead and chanted a spell in the crowd.The meaningless nonsense seemed to have some magical power, making the believers settle down quickly, and more and more people joined in to chant the spell.Soon, it became the chant of the heretics.

The soldiers of the Yanzhou Army were stunned, and so were the bandits of the Tang Army.The obsession of these cultists is far beyond their imagination, even though they have repeatedly proved that the cult's claims are all nonsense, there are no gods, no shelter, no blessings.But these believers are still stubborn.

Xie Wuji drew out his longbow suddenly, and shot immediately!

He saw who was the first to chant the mantra just now, so he treated this person as another demagogue.His arrow skills were so accurate that the man almost fell to the ground in response, his eyes widened, and he died after a few convulsions.

However, the chanting of mantras still did not stop.Many heretics huddled together, their eyes closed, their faces terrified, but they kept mumbling.They seem to have understood that they cannot get the so-called blessing and protection of the gods at all, but they still refuse to go astray and still hope that miracles will appear.

Xie Wuji raised his bow again and aimed at the crowd.The sound of chanting the mantra became louder and louder, and the veins on his forehead trembled. Finally, he weakly lowered the bow.

Perhaps only by killing all these people can it be possible to completely exterminate the cult...

Wu Cong saw that something was wrong with Xie Wuji, and whispered: "General?"

Xie Wuji didn't reply.He closed his eyes, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: If Jun Nao was in such a situation today, what would he do?

He couldn't think of it, but he knew that Junao could always think of a better way than killing.

After Zhao Chongjiu died, the cult members chanted the mantra over and over without stopping.In the dark night, thousands of people chanted strange spells in unison, adding a bit of treachery and terror to the night.

Several officers came to Xie Wuji's side, and respectfully asked for instructions: "General, how should we deal with these people?"

Xie Wuji still did not answer.

If it was a year ago, he might have ordered that all these people be killed to prevent the cult from spreading.Not only that, after cleaning up these cultists, he also had to clean up those bandits.But now, he did not issue such an order.

This time when he went north again, what he saw was devastation.If last year the north was in a state of war and disorder, and the people could be restored to life simply by stopping the war disaster; then this year the north is already a hell on earth.The anger of the people has been completely sucked and squeezed by all forces, and killing can no longer bring salvation and tranquility.

After a while, Xie Wuji said slowly: "Temporarily incorporate them. When the rear army arrives, they will be placed by the army."

Their light cavalry is still rushing to Yanzhou and cannot stay here for too long.Therefore, Xie Wuji assigned dozens of people to stay here for the time being, and gave Tang Lingxu official positions and rewards to take care of these cult prisoners.After two or three days, the large troops of the Yanzhou Army can arrive here, and then let the army reorganize and clean up these people.

After he gave the order, the messenger hurriedly consulted with Tang Ling.

……

"What? You are the Yanzhou Army?! The Yanzhou Army under General Xie Wujixie?!" Tang Ling was shocked when he heard the news.

After surrendering the cultists with the officers and soldiers, Tang Ling discovered that the number of officers and soldiers still seemed to be so large, and the so-called reinforcements did not exist at all.Only then did he realize that he might have been fooled.He was also thinking about whether to cause some trouble for the officers and soldiers while the officers and soldiers were cleaning up the mess, in order to avenge himself for being teased, and to pick up some bargains by the way.But when he heard that the other party turned out to be the Yanzhou Army, he immediately rejoiced that he did not act rashly.

——The Yanzhou army is famous, even if there is no reinforcements, there is absolutely no problem in tidying up yourself.He wants to be an enemy of the Yanzhou army, because he thinks his life is too long!

When he heard that the Yanzhou Army planned to continue going north and asked him to take care of the cultists temporarily, Tang Ling thought for a while and asked, "Brothers in the Yanzhou Army, are you going to deal with the cultists?"

The orderly, of course, would not tell a group of bandits about his army's plans, so he just kept silent.

Tang Ling's expression became serious: "Brothers in the Yanzhou Army, I have no other intentions, I just kindly advise you. You must not underestimate the enemy when you go this time. Those cultists are not as good at fighting as you, but they It’s definitely not easy to deal with. Those who believe in that religion are all lunatics. The most terrifying thing is that the cult is like a plague. The lunatics can turn others into lunatics, and they will kill those who don’t follow them! I’m afraid you have enough manpower. That’s enough, it’s best to ask General Xie to lead the army to the north in person, so that we can hope to suppress the cult! ——Uh, yes, by the way, General Xie is indeed still alive, right?”

The orderly gave him a speechless look.The rumors are really scary. Tang Ling seems to be a sober person, but he even doubts whether the rumor that both Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji were cursed to death by Henry Zhang is true.

Of course, Tang Ling didn't know that the white-faced general who was leading the eight hundred Qingqi was Xie Wuji himself. He saw the contempt of the messengers and knew that Xie Wuji should still be alive, so he couldn't help but smiled and patted his head.

……

After two cups of tea, the messenger came back to report to Xie Wuji.

Xie Wuji was slightly surprised: "So soon, have you guys finished talking?"

The messenger nodded: "Yes, General, Tang Ling has agreed to the conditions proposed by the General."

They originally thought that a cunning person like Tang Ling would not be so talkative and would take the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits.But they were in a hurry and had to take advantage of these bandits for the time being.Unexpectedly, when Tang Ling heard that they were the Yanzhou Army, and guessed that their purpose of going north was to deal with the Xuantian Sect, Tang Ling's attitude became extremely cooperative.

Apparently, that man, like them, hated cults as much as they did.

After Xie Wuji learned about it, he didn't say anything more, he only told the officer he sent to stay in charge of monitoring: "Be careful."

The officer hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the general, the subordinates will not disgrace their orders."

Xie Wuji selected two more messengers and ordered them to go back and inform the army at the rear of what happened here.

At this point, everything that needs to be arranged is almost done, and the rest of the mess can be left to the rear army to clean up.Everyone waited for Xie Wuji's order to continue on their way, but Xie Wuji didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he selected several messengers again.

"Rush to Chengdu Mansion immediately, look for Governor Zhu, and report to him the situation in the north." Xie Wuji paused, "Please send someone here as soon as possible to help Governor Zhu manage the government affairs of the states and counties, and stabilize people's livelihood."

As soon as this remark came out, the messenger was stunned, and all the cronies around Xie Wuji were also stunned.

Immediately someone said: "General..."

Before the words came out, Xie Wuji raised his hand to intercept their words.Obviously, he knew what they were trying to say.

Although Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao formed an alliance now, and the two sides also jointly managed the Guanzhong and Liangzhou generations, the respective positions of the two sides have never let the other side intervene.Zhu Nao never let Xie Wuji take charge of his Shu army, and before that, Zhu Nao never let Zhu Nao get involved in several important towns controlled by Xie Wuji in the north.

But now, Xie Wuji took the initiative to invite Zhu Nao to send someone to help with government affairs.Rather than asking the people of Shu for help, Xie Wuji is giving up power—he is handing over the power in his own hands.

Once the political power is lost, Xie Wuji will only be in charge of an army from now on.And if an army depended on others for its rations, salaries, and garrison, then Xie Wuji himself was just a soldier dispatched by others.

Even Wu Cong couldn't help but said: "General, think twice. Even if the current situation is unfavorable, it may not be..."

Once the power is handed over, it is very difficult to take it back.In these years, everyone is fighting for power, how can anyone take the initiative to hand over power like Xie Wuji?

However, Xie Wuji's face was as calm as water, as if he didn't hear the words of the people, he just took out a token as proof, and handed it to the messenger: "Be careful on the road, and deliver it as soon as possible."

The messenger took his token with trepidation.

Xie Wuji turned the reins and returned to the front of the team.He said loudly: "Let's go!"

Hundreds of Qingqi continued to rush towards Yanzhou.

=====

At the same time, Chengdu Mansion.

Jun Nao was reviewing official documents in the room when Jing Zhe walked in.

"My lord," Jing Zhe said, "Han Feng has already left for Shizhou."

Zhu Nao nodded and said "Yes", his eyes still stayed on the official document.

When Zhu Nao decided to send Han Feng to garrison Shizhou first, Han Feng was a little surprised and dissatisfied with the appointment.But he knew he had no better choice, so after hesitating for a day, he accepted the appointment and set off quickly.

Zhu Nao finished approving an official document and put down his pen, but he was not concerned about the situation of Shi and Gui Erzhou, but suddenly said to himself: "I don't know how General Xie is now..."

Jing Zhe didn't take it seriously.Xie Wuji is good at fighting, and he has a large army in his hands, but the cultists are just a mob, so how difficult is it to suppress them?

Zhu Nao said, "You order people to go north immediately to find out how the Yanzhou Army is doing. Ask General Xie if you need me...well, I need to send troops to help."

Jing Zhe was still a little puzzled.Will Xie Wuji still need Zhu Nao to send troops to help?A group of cultists, is it so difficult to deal with?

But since Junao ordered it, he would never question it.He immediately said: "Yes, young master. I'll go right away."
