The Kingdom of Qi's imperial court was filled with anger and resentment. The attacks against Huyan Wuhen were like a tidal wave, but they could only be verbally suppressed. In reality, there was nothing they could do about Huyan Wuhen.
Originally, the three major sects could still control Huyan Wuhen. But now, the three major sects had begun to play dead. This was clearly a tacit agreement for Huyan Wuhen to do this.
Since he saw through the tricks of the feudal vassals obstructing the rebel army, Huyan Wuhen also slowed down his marching speed. His marching method could even be said to be incomprehensible to others.
The army began to rush here and there, but not in the direction of the capital city.
To put it bluntly, they were focused on getting food. The army was attacking everywhere to get food.
This organized and large-scale "robbery" method, with a clear division of labor and spies to investigate, was much more powerful than ordinary bandits …
In the center of the Jin army's frontline, Gao Pin, who was sitting quietly in the hall, looked at the intelligence report in his hand. He was silent for a long time.
The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect said in a low voice, "What is Huyan Wuhen doing?"
Gao Pin took a deep breath and said, "Needless to say, he is stockpiling food in large quantities, preparing for a protracted war!"
The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect snorted, "He is really something. As the dignified General of Qi, he is actually commanding troops to rob food in his own country. No, not just commanding troops to rob food, but personally commanding millions of troops to rob food!"
Gao Pin put down the intelligence report in his hand and leaned against the back of the chair. Slowly, he said, "I heard that he previously submitted a memorial to the Qi imperial court, asking for forgiveness, saying that his crime is unforgivable. Unforgivable … unforgivable … I think I understand what it means now. It really is unforgivable! "
"Report!" A general strode in and reported hurriedly, "Marshal, the Qin army is also fully retreating towards the Kingdom of Qi. According to the spies, the Qin army has also sent a few troops to the neighboring prefectures to rob food!"
"What?" Gao Pin was shocked. He shouted, "Investigate again!"
There was no need to investigate. The Qin army had indeed retreated, and they had indeed gone to rob food.
Huyan Wuhen had seen through Gao Pin's plot. He sent a message to Luo Zhao, asking him to command the army to retreat and rob food as well.
The Kingdom of Qi was so big that Huyan Wuhen could not rob it in such a short time. He would reorganize from the west, and let Luo Zhao lead the Qin army to reorganize from the east.
There was only one purpose, and that was to hoard enough rations and fight with the Jin Nation to the end. He would not give up easily and would not let the Jin Nation conquer the Qi Nation easily.
Now that Huyan Wuhen had opened his mouth and asked the cultivators of Qi to coordinate with him, the Qin army was no longer burdened. They immediately retreated and reorganized their troops.
Gao Pin, who was informed of the situation, felt his head swell. Putting aside the fact that his plot against the Qin army had been foiled, now he had a huge problem in front of him.
Should the Jin army continue to hold the defensive line? If they did so, it meant that the enemy was slowly preparing provisions.
If he attacked, the enemy would probably be waiting for him to fight it out!
Huyan Wuhen threw him a difficult problem!
…
The Qi army paused to rest and reorganize. Huyan Wuhen walked to a pile of newly obtained rations and grabbed a handful to inspect. Then, he instructed his men: "Make sure to check thoroughly before placing the rations into the pot. This is to prevent the enemy from poisoning the rations."
"Yes!" The two soldiers cupped their fists and accepted the order.
Many people were even happy. With food in their hands, they didn't panic.
Huyan Wuhen patted the shoulder of a lowly soldier and turned to leave. The elders of the three major sects walked up to him.
The Third Elder walked to his side and accompanied him. The Heavenly Fire Order Elder said, "Great General, the rebel army is about to reach the capital. The imperial court is like ants on a hot pan. If you continue to drag your feet and stop here and there, the sect will not be able to answer to the imperial court."
Huyan Wuhen, who was walking up a hill, rested his hand on the sword at his waist and gazed in the direction of the capital. "Does the Elder still think that the capital can be defended?"
The Great Hill Order Elder said in a deep voice, "There are a hundred thousand men and horses in the capital. The capital's fortifications are strong and indestructible. There are also enough commoners for us to use. Moreover, the three major sects are personally holding the fort. We will definitely be able to defend the capital for more than a month!"
Huyan Wuhen shook his head. "The people's hearts are scattered. I'm afraid that the spies in the capital won't be able to be thoroughly investigated. This can be seen from the way the feudal vassals intercepted us. Elders, shall we make a bet? I bet that once the rebel army arrives, it won't be long before someone in the capital opens the city gates to let the enemy in. "
"If the capital can be defended, it doesn't matter if my main army is a little faster or a little slower. The two reinforcements will be enough to break the siege of the capital's garrison. If the capital cannot be defended until those two reinforcements arrive, even if my main army breaks their legs, it will still be too late. "
Hearing that there were enemy spies in the capital, the Profound Weapon Sect Elder stomped his feet. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The three elders quickly left in a hurry to inform the sect and have them make preparations.
Cha Hu approached Huyan Wuhen. "General, are you not confident in the defense of the capital?"
Huyan Wuhen shook his head. "I'll leave it to fate!"
Cha Hu became anxious. "Doesn't that mean that the family members in the residence will be in danger? Why didn't General say so earlier? "He turned around to make arrangements.
"Hu Hu!" Huyan Wuhen turned around and shouted.
Cha Hu turned around and looked at him.
Huyan Wuhen said, "Not only are my family members in the capital, but many of my brothers' family members are also in the capital. Can you take them all away? My family members cannot leave. Once they leave, the morale of the entire garrison in the capital will collapse. The dignified capital of Qi Kingdom, the capital of the kingdom, with the strength of a hundred thousand soldiers and the sturdy and towering city walls. If we can't even defend against a few rebels, what will become of us? "
"Once my family members leave, the families of the officials will have to leave immediately. Only by stabilizing the officials can they defend the city with all their might. The Jin army is still outside the border and hasn't arrived yet. The enemy hasn't even sent a single soldier. How can we let the capital be seized? They have to defend there until the reinforcements arrive! "
Cha Hu was at a loss. "But what if we can't defend it? Won't our family members be in danger?"
"Danger?" Huyan Wuhen looked around and muttered to himself, "I've ordered my troops to seize the grain from the prefectures. The prefectures will definitely plunder the common people. My actions will bring a catastrophe to the people of Qi Kingdom. My crime is unforgivable …"
…
In the Valiant Martial Hall of the Southern Prefecture, Meng Shanming was speechless after learning about the new movements of the Qi and Qin armies.
He had miscalculated. Meng Shanming didn't expect Huyan Wuhen to do such a thing. He actually commanded millions of soldiers to seize grain in his own kingdom and even brought the Qin army along to do this.
Shang Chaozong shook his head and sighed. "Doing such a thing will definitely cause the people to be furious. Even if he can protect Qi Kingdom after this, he won't be able to escape death unless he gathers an army! He has offended the imperial power, the entire court, and the common people. I'm afraid that the three major sects will not be able to explain to the people of Qi Kingdom if they don't punish him. "
Meng Shanming couldn't help but shake his head. "Without destruction, there can't be construction. I hope he succeeds!"
…
In a secluded courtyard in Qi Kingdom, someone knocked on the door.
Guo Man opened the door and saw a man wearing a veil and bamboo hat following behind him. After asking who it was, she quickly opened the door and ran inside to report.
After a while, Wu Xin and Yan Baoru came out in a hurry.
"Master, why are you here?" Wu Xin greeted the person who came. It was the Ghost Doctor.
The Ghost Doctor didn't say much. He raised his hand and gestured for the master and disciple to talk inside.
After sitting down in the room, the Ghost Doctor said, "I heard that the rebel army is about to attack the city. This place is about to become a battlefield. Are you still going to stay here?"
He had originally come out to look for a suitable eyeball for Yuan Se. After hearing about the situation here, he specially came over.
Wu Xin was silent. He understood. Master was here to persuade him to leave.
But according to what he knew, Shao Liu 'er was still under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion. If the rebel army really attacked the city, it would be fine if the city didn't fall, but if it did …
After thinking for a while, Wu Xin forced a smile and said, "I'll be fine. It's all thanks to you, Master. No matter how the war goes, no matter who this city belongs to, they won't barge in and make things difficult for me."
The Ghost Doctor said indifferently, "Master has something that I want you to help me with. The Primordial Lord came to me … "He told her about how the Primordial Lord wanted to replace the eyeball." We treat patients and save people, we don't do evil things. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to find a suitable transplant. I can't do it by myself, and the Primordial Lord is urging me to help. Come with me and help me. "
Wu Xin knew it was an excuse. He was afraid that he would be in danger here. He immediately said seriously, "Disciple staying here can help Master. When the time comes, there will be a lot of casualties. It's suitable to find something to transplant and avoid doing evil things."
"…" The Ghost Doctor choked and was speechless.
He knew that his disciple still couldn't let go of that woman and wasn't willing to leave. But his disciple's words were reasonable. When the time comes, there will be a lot of casualties. Making use of trash is much better than doing evil things.
In the end, the Ghost Doctor didn't leave. Finding a suitable transplant for Yuan Se was one reason. Staying here was also convenient to protect Wu Xin.
This time, with Yuan Se's support, he wasn't afraid of anyone daring to act recklessly.
…
In the secret room of Nanzhou, Niu Youdao, who was reading the secret letter, stood up and muttered to himself, "Transplant Yuan Se's eyeball?"
The secret letter was sent by Guo Man. The Ghost Doctor and his disciple were preparing for that. As their helper, Guo Man also knew about it.
Niu Youdao, who put down the secret letter, paced back and forth. He knew that Yuan Se had become a one-eyed dragon. Previously, when Sha Rulai sent the news that Yuan Se was looking for the Ghost Doctor, he didn't take it seriously because it was hard to get in touch with the Medicine Valley. He suddenly snorted, "It's true. I didn't expect it to be delivered to me in the blink of an eye."
Yun Ji said from the side, "What do you want now?"
Niu Youdao: "Nothing much. I want to help Yuan Se achieve his dream."
Yun Ji was suspicious. "How can you be so kind? Don't tell me you want the Ghost Doctor to assassinate Yuan Se? "
Niu Youdao chuckled. "You're thinking too much. Even if the Ghost Doctor wants to do it, he doesn't have the guts. But I heard that there's a woman by Yuan Se's side who is Yuan Se's true confidante. I wonder if this woman is willing to give Yuan Se a look? "The corner of his mouth curled into a sly smile.
Then, he turned around and sat down behind the table. After deliberating for a while, he personally dipped a brush in ink and wrote a letter. After blowing it dry, he passed it to Yun Ji. "It's time to find something for Shao Pingbo to do. This is something that Shao Pingbo can do easily. Translate the contents of this letter into a secret letter and send it to Shao Pingbo."
Yun Ji naturally couldn't help but read the contents of the letter. The letter mentioned that Yuan Se was looking for the Ghost Doctor to transplant an eyeball, and asked Shao Pingbo to find a way to get the Ghost Doctor to target Yuan Fei for the transplant.
The letter deliberately reminded that the Ghost Doctor cared a lot about her disciple, Wu Xin!
