The world of Taoism

Chapter 398
In the mansion where the governor of Pingnan is located.

The person from Tianji Mountain sat on the main seat, and a middle-aged man sat next to him. The middle-aged man had a majestic appearance, his brows were frowned into a Sichuan character, and he had an extraordinary bearing.

This person is Zhu Huan, the governor of Pingnan.

Zhu Huan's expression was very respectful, listening to the people from Tianji Mountain talking about what happened during this period.

It turned out that the reason why the people from Tianji Mountain disappeared for so long was to plot against Zhou Xuan.

This time he not only injured Zhou Xuan, but also destroyed the feng shui structure of Zhou Xuan's ancestral house.

Now this person's luck has dropped to an extremely low level, so he was injured later.

"So that means that this person doesn't have any hole cards now?" Zhu Huan said.

The man from Tianji Mountain nodded, and said: "The old man has forced out all his trump cards. Now this person is seriously injured, and his strength is not one in ten. If he wants to do it, it's best within 10 days, otherwise he will recover, I'm afraid And difficult to handle."

Hearing what the people from Tianji Mountain said, Zhu Huan had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

What the people from Tianji Mountain said was correct, once Zhou Xuan recovered, there would be no such good opportunities in the future.

Zhu Huan firmly believed in what the Tianji Mountain man said.

If the Tianji Mountain people want to deal with him, then there is no need to wait until now.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan's side can be said to be a very xenophobic organization with a very high level of discipline, and it cannot accommodate the Nine Stars of Tianji, a raptor who crosses the river.

The interests of the two parties are fundamentally not aligned, so there is no need to worry that Tianjishanren, a master of idle clouds and wild cranes, will seek refuge with Zhou Xuan.

Zhu Huan paced back and forth, frowning in thought.

In his position, he has to think twice before doing anything. Every word and deed can affect tens of millions of people, so he can't help being cautious.

Now that several warlords in the Northwest have become independent from each other, it is only a matter of raising their banners.

The dynasty's rule over the frontier can be said to exist in name only.

The warlords in the south are also eager to move, and they are secretly recruiting troops.

It is said that the Shidu of the Great Governor of Lingnan on the further south side married the princess of the Nanyue Kingdom. The two families have now formed an alliance, and the entire Lingnan area has fallen into the hands of the Great Governor of Lingnan.

The southwest direction has been a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and the warlord chieftains there often make small moves.

Even Weizhou, next door to them, is full of wars and disasters, and refugees are everywhere.

It only needs someone to climb up and shout, that is an extremely huge destructive force.

So the time will become more and more chaotic in the future, and life will become more and more difficult in the future.

Maybe others are still thinking about the plump Yangzhou.

Therefore, Zhu Huan must unify the entire Yangzhou, so that he will have the strength to compete for hegemony in the future.

With soldiers and horses in hand, one's own confidence will also increase.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huan decided to take a gamble: "Okay, let's go three days after making the decision, and be sure to kill him under the horse."

Taking advantage of Zhou Xuan's weaker strength, he took down everything in one fell swoop.

He has a total of 8 elite soldiers in his hands, and these are what he will rely on to fight for hegemony in the future.

It may be a big loss to start all now, but it's all worth it.

He has been coveting people of the Heavenly Master Way for a long time. This group of people can stimulate the crops and double the land output.

If you hold it in your own hands, it will be like a tiger with wings added.

Yangzhou is rich and prosperous, and it is absolutely no problem to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the future.

"Okay, I will send people to give full support and make sure to take it down."

The person from Tianji Mountain changed the subject, and his tone became somewhat tactful: "The old man has one more thing that I may need your help with..."

"Master, please tell me, I will definitely help you." Zhu Huan agreed directly without asking what it was.

Zhu Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the people from Tianji Mountain make a request.

I'm not afraid that he will open his mouth like a lion, but I'm afraid that he doesn't want anything, and the oil and salt will not enter.

This made Zhu Huan feel insecure, and always felt that he was calculating himself.

"The old man wants Yuchan Mountain."

"No problem, you can choose anything in that area, as many as you want."

Zhu Huan fully agreed that this place does not produce food, and the environment is dangerous, so it's okay to give it all to the people of Tianji Mountain.

The key is to pull the interests of the two into the same camp, so that there is no need to worry about the other party's conspiracy.

On the other side, in a cave.

The eunuch, whose lower body had recovered, stumbled and ran into the cave.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are finally back." The eunuch cried bitterly and knelt in front of the Jiangnan King.

The Lord of Jiangnan snorted coldly and said, "You still have the face to come back? What have you been doing all this time?"

"The thief was injured and ran out secretly." The eunuch talked about the tortuous experience of escaping.

It turned out that he was also there when Zhou Xuan was injured that day, and the crowd rushed to rescue Zhou Xuan. The people around him relaxed a little, so that he had a chance to escape.

"Is that person really injured?" said an old man next to the Jiangnan Lord.

This old man is Qing Yunzi.

Qing Yunzi's complexion is not very good at this time, and he feels extremely weak.

As if a gust of wind could blow it down.

It can be said that Qing Yunzi's vital energy was seriously injured. Although the vital organs such as the internal organs and six internal organs were preserved, his physical body had been burnt to the point where there was not much left.

If he hadn't possessed the elixir of the Lord of Jiangnan, he might not be able to stand up now.

"Of course, this subordinate saw this guy was injured with his own eyes." The chief eunuch said in a firm tone, his expression did not seem to be fake.

The Lord of the Jiangnan Kingdom moved in his heart, and then asked again: "Do you know where they will hide?"

The eunuch smiled obsequiously: "The subordinates don't know, but their real headquarters is not Yuchan Mountain, but in a valley 200 miles away from Yuchan Mountain. A large number of soldiers and horses are stored here, which is extremely hidden. Zhou Xuan may be here. Heal."

"Oh? Where is that place?"

In the mansion, Zhu Huan looked at Tianjishanren in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan's real hiding place is not in Yuchan Mountain, it seems that he brought good news.

"The area around Baihe Mountain is 200 miles northeast of Yuchan Mountain." The person from Tianji Mountain said.

Zhu Huan suddenly realized when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to hide this trick.

If it weren't for the people from Tianji Mountain secretly investigating, maybe they would have made this trip in vain.

Tianshi Dao is now in chaos, and many masters should still be by Zhou Xuan's side at this time.

In this way, I am afraid that the entire Yangzhou can be pacified in one fell swoop.

For a while, both sides were prepared.

Under the suggestion of the people from Tianji Mountain, the governor of Pingnan played Zhou Xuan's banner, and when the defenders found out that they were not their own, it was already too late.

Almost all the way was unimpeded, directly entering the hinterland of Zhou Xuan's rule, and came to the vicinity of Yuchan Mountain.

"It's almost there! It's right ahead." The Tianji Mountain man pointed to a basin and said.

"This place is an excellent place to garrison troops, and the main force of Tianshi Dao is also in it. As long as you take this place, you can find Zhou Xuan." The Tianji Mountain man stroked his long beard.

On the other side of the mountain, the Lord of Jiangnan looked at the basin with deep eyes.

He already clearly felt the breath of a large number of people.
