By the way, the old Taoist priest of Shangshanzong did mention that there is a guy who is very good at swordsmanship among the rebels...

Wen Gai looked at Li Cheng, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Do you want to surrender, or do you want to assassinate the Sa family?"

"I heard that Fellow Daoist is worrying too much, I just want to come and see you."

Li Cheng spread his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, our army has indeed sent many people to inquire about you. They all said that you are an open-minded, heroic and valiant person, which makes me very curious."

"Hmph, what are you curious about?"

"I'm curious why such a hero like you is with the insects of the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Ge was at a loss for words.

He ground his teeth for a long time before he said sharply: "So you are here to persuade the Sa family to surrender? Then you'd better get out, the Sa family will spit on a nail, and if they say they want to kill you, they will kill you!"

"Haha, why are fellow daoists so excited?"

Li Cheng blinked and said, "Could it be that you don't even have the guts to go out for a drink with me? I dare to come to see you alone."

"...boring tactics."

Wen Gai said this, but he was thinking in his heart: This person's whereabouts are secretive and unpredictable, so he really wants to assassinate someone, I'm afraid there will be no one on his side who can deal with it, instead of driving him away, it's better to get in touch with him more and see his methods.

So he got up and walked to the bed, glared at Li Cheng and said, "Let's take a look at the Sajia, what kind of tricks are you trying to play! If it's really just drinking... then don't use bad wine to fool people!"

"Don't worry fellow daoist, the wine I serve is definitely good wine!"

Both of them are fifth-rank monks, and with a thought, they have already flashed to the sky above the city.

Li Cheng made a gesture of invitation, then turned around, completely exposing his back to Wen Gai, and flew eastward all the way.

Seeing this, Wen Gai secretly praised him, and followed closely behind.

What he didn't know was that Li Cheng, as a cowardly fox, had already hidden his body in the clouds under his feet at this moment, and he was just a stand-in on the surface...

One person and one fox shuttled quickly, and arrived near Yangcheng in the blink of an eye.

Li Cheng said: "Friend Daoist Wen, in order not to disturb the common people, let's start walking from now on."

Wen Gai had no objection to this, and followed the fox to the ground.

As soon as he touched the ground, he subconsciously looked around and found that there were large tracts of fertile fields on the left and right, and there were dozens of people smiling, working hard and sweating profusely.

As a monk, although Wen Gai had never learned the art of physiognomy, he still had the ability to discern people's hearts. He immediately felt that the smiles of these peasants were so sincere and pure, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Have you had a good harvest here?"

"That's not true, it's just that everyone is planting their own fields, so they redouble their efforts."

"Planting your own field..."

Wen Gai had heard that Zhu Chongxiu was engaged in dividing the land earlier, so he was not too surprised, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad when he recalled the decaying villages under the imperial court.

Li Cheng led his people into Yangcheng, and came to a little-known restaurant.

"Second master, what do you want?"

"Come to five jars of red tassel wine!"

"okay!"

This red tassel wine is nothing else, it is Xiao Yumei's newly improved wine according to the method provided by Li Cheng.

Wen Gai sat by the window, and when he smelled the aroma of wine, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said in a rough voice, "Okay, okay, you really are a smart guy."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist, it's absurd."

Thinking of his contribution to this wine, Li Cheng couldn't help being a little proud.

Then he ordered a few more appetizers, and when he was about to start drinking, a group of rebels suddenly passed by outside the restaurant.

Wen Gai's eyes immediately drifted away.

In this regard, Li Cheng just smiled and did not stop.

But I saw this group of rebels with their heads held high and their chests high, neatly lined up, passing the shops on the left and right without disturbing, and the people around them did not show any signs of dodging in fear.

They went straight into the restaurant, took out the exact money, bought a few taels of beef...then left.

Wen Gai looked at the backs of the Yimen, frowned, and said in his heart, these soldiers have high morale, are well-trained, and have done nothing to the common people, but they are much better than the officers and soldiers in Yongxing City... .

Then, another storyteller came into the restaurant. He tapped on the allegro and told the visitors a story about the rebels punishing the local tyrants and evil gentry, and all the guests at the tables applauded.

The expression on Wen Gai's face became even more jaded.

Seeing this, Li Cheng poured him a glass of wine and said, "Fellow Daoist, why are you so sad? Don't let down the good wine!"

After all, he took the initiative to talk about his travel experience in various places.

Wen Gai sighed softly, didn't ask any more questions, and focused on drinking and chatting with Li Cheng.

Needless to say, Li Cheng has been to the Western Regions and swam in the South China Sea, so he is well-informed. In addition, he is naturally straightforward, and chatted happily with Wen Gai.

"Li Shaoxia, you... are really good."

About an hour later, Wen Gai put down the last bowl of wine, his face was tangled, and he said in a deep voice: "I kind of understand why you guys are able to win... but..."

He changed the subject: "If you want me to turn against you, there is no way. Li Shaoxia, let's see the truth on the battlefield."

"What a pity..."

Li Cheng smiled and shook his head, raised his glass and said, "Then, cheers!"

"Do it! The Sa family proposes a toast to you!"

With the last drop of wine down his throat, Wen Gai saluted solemnly and disappeared into the sky.

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to Zhu Chongxiu's house.

After he left, a waiter by the door secretly took out a small piece of paper and wrote something, and sent it out with a pigeon...

When the sun never sets.

Li Cheng found Zhu Chongxiu.

The girl was about to discuss the sale of silk with a businessman from outside. Seeing Li Cheng coming, she told the businessman to wait a while and talk to Li Cheng first.

When she turned around, the businessman quietly took out a small piece of paper folded into a flying insect shape from his sleeve, and stuck it to the girl's shoe...

In the next room, Zhu Chongxiu asked Li Cheng, "How's the talk going?"

"Half the battle."

Li Cheng said in a low voice: "Then Wen Gai is a good man, he promises a lot, and he doesn't agree to defect."

"Is that so..."

"But he is willing to join hands with us to get rid of Eunuch Huang."

"Oh?"

Li Cheng smiled slightly, and praised Wen Gai: "He is an upright and good man, and he has always been dissatisfied with the eunuch's behavior. Due to the agreement, he cannot betray the court, but it is still okay to pretend to kill an eunuch by accident."

"Specifically, when we were going to fight, we pretended to fight, and then he pretended not to be careful, and let my spell fall into the middle army..."

After listening to Li Cheng's words, Zhu Chongxiu nodded in approval: "That's good, at least it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people..."

separated by a wall.

The silk merchant heard all the conversations between one person and one fox through the small props made by the monks.

As a businessman, he is well-informed, and he is quite familiar with Wen Gai, a great hero who helped defend Yongxing City.

Thinking about it carefully, this Master Wenxian is indeed a true hero...

If it's broken, then he probably really betrayed it!

I don't know whether a good person will stand in the court or a traitor!

The businessman pursed his lips, and when he heard no discussion in the room, he immediately pretended nothing happened.

After he finished talking and returned to his residence, he quickly sorted out the news of the day and sent it to a distant place.

Soon in Yongxing City.

The news of many detailed operations was collected and handed over to a person who is not physically and psychologically sound.

After reading the news, the man was angry and frightened. He rolled the letter paper into a ball and threw it on the trembling maid at her feet.

"Well, you smelly, looking at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, the abacus hit our head... Let me let you know, our family is not vegetarian!"

......

Another month passed, and after more than 3 reinforcements were gathered from various places in western Zhejiang, the official army set off from Yongxing City to attack Zhu Chongxiu.

On the surface, this crusade was in charge of a deputy general, but in terms of power, he wanted to support the eunuchs, and in terms of strength, he wanted to curry favor with Wen Gai. In fact, he could not decide anything.

Due to the unclear powers and responsibilities, this army also walked very slowly along the way, dragging their way to Yangcheng.

In this way, Zhu Chongxiu has made complete preparations in the city.

With the help of Li Cheng, the rebel army set up a gossip mountain and river array at the top of the city.

This formation is very common, it is nothing at all.But considering that there is a natural mountain behind Yangcheng, the formation has gained a bonus, doubling its power.

Wen Gai, who came from afar, knew that it was not easy to attack the city.

But after traveling with Li Cheng, he knew that Zhu Chongxiu's group of rebels was no small matter, and with sufficient psychological construction, he didn't make a fuss.

He slapped the flying tiger off his seat and rose to the mid-air parallel to the city wall.

Li Cheng was standing here, cupped his hands to Wen Gai and said, "Wen Daoyou, how are you?"

Wen Gai returned the salute very seriously, then drew out his weapon, and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia, it's useless to talk too much, let's settle it now!"

"it is good!"

Li Cheng also took out Lve Shadow Sword, and greeted him without showing any weakness.

At this time, a second person flew up in the formation of the officers and soldiers, and it was Taoist Yan who hadn't seen him for a long time.

He wanted to seek revenge from Li Cheng, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to fight.

Seeing his figure, the rebels at the top of the city immediately yelled, such as treachery, despicable villain, lackey of the court, two-strike-one-win, and so on.

But Taoist Yan didn't care much about such words at the moment. He stared at Li Cheng wholeheartedly, but he was afraid of Li Cheng's sword moves, and didn't dare to get too close. He just flew behind Wen Gai, and shot a cold arrow from time to time.

Facing the pincer attack of two fifth ranks, Li Cheng felt quite pressured.

But in the blink of an eye, he was not so easily defeated.

When he was still on that real fairy island, he had fought with Chen Youxi and Liu Shishi countless times, and he was very experienced in how to fight the strong with the weak, and how to fight the many with the few.

What's more, Wen Yan and the two were far inferior to his confidante, so Li Cheng was tired, but he didn't feel flustered.

On the contrary, after a while, Wen Yan and the two who hadn't taken down Li Cheng became a little anxious.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cheng took the initiative to sell an opening, was hit by Wen Gai in the shoulder, and fell to the top of the wall.

Although the injury could be easily healed with the power of life and death in Dao Ji, Li Cheng didn't do that. He endured the pain and pretended that the injury was hard to heal and he was inconvenient to move.

Seeing this scene, Wen Gai felt regretful, and rushed over with a weapon on his face, wanting to give Li Cheng a fatal blow.

"rise!"

Zhu Chongxiu at the top of the city saw the right moment and commanded a small number of monks to control the large formation to resist Wen Gai's attack.

In an instant, more than a dozen boulders condensed out of thin air and hit Wen Gai.

At the same time, the ordinary rebels on the wall also bent their bows and set up arrows, aiming at Wen Gai with a round of salvo.

Facing the overwhelming attack, Wen Gai could hardly get close by himself, so he retreated a little, and then gestured to the Chinese army, indicating that the opportunity had come and the whole army attacked.

However......

He gestured for a long time, but the officers and soldiers did not move.

After a while, the deputy chief ordered the archers to bend their bows and set their arrows, but after shooting out, [-] to [-]% of the arrows flew towards Wen Gai.

After that, Eunuch Huang simply asked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Wen Gai was really stunned this time.

Well, let's attack the city alone!

He's staying in heaven and neither is he going nor going...

The Taoist Yan next to him didn't understand what was going on. In his opinion, the situation was very good just now, and he should fight no matter what!
