C2389 The Bandits Have Gathered
The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was extremely angry about this mission of the White Lotus Cult.
One should know that within the convoy, not only was there his beloved princess sister, there was also the Fengjue Country's First Prince.
Not to mention Princess Qi, that was the Royal Sister that he had always doted on. He had already let her down by marrying her to the Fengjue Country. If anything were to happen to her again, he would never be able to feel at ease for the rest of his life. And those people from the White Lotus Cult actually wanted to make a move on Princess Qi. This was something that he couldn't accept no matter what.
The people from the Fengjue Country team also could not allow any accidents to occur. One had to know that they had just come to an agreement with the Fengjue Country. Both parties had just signed a ceasefire agreement. If it was at this moment... If something were to happen to the Fengjue Country's First Prince in his territory... Then... The Fengjue Country would definitely vent its anger on him. At that time... He had paid a huge price, and even had to bear the blame. He would have to follow the flow of the eastern river in exchange for the ceasefire. This was also something he did not want to see.
Because of this, in the king's heart, Princess Qi and Lu Yizha could not be harmed, but the people of the White Lotus Cult had attacked them. How could he not be angry?
"They are the people of the White Lotus Cult." Wu Yan said, "They used all kinds of identities to come to the vicinity of the capital to hide, for the sake of attacking the group of people who sent their relatives away. This matter could be said to have been planned for a long time. Fortunately, the people from the Fengjue Country and the soldiers of Imperial Guards. That's why they didn't succeed. However, judging from their night raid that night... It's obvious that they are extremely obsessed with this matter. It's obvious that they won't give up so easily."
"Do you have any news about them?" The emperor asked.
"Not yet." Wu Yan said, "Ever since the night attack failed, the people of White Lotus Cult have been hiding again. There are no other movements. This lowly subject has been investigating for a long time. I only found some remnants of the White Lotus Cult near the capital. As for the large scale of the army... We have not found any traces of them. We do not know where they have gone. "
"Continue the investigation. Since they have spent so much effort... It must be for the sake of making a move on the escort team. I don't think they'll give up so easily. They will still look for an opportunity to make a move. The team has yet to come out of seclusion. They should still be waiting for an opportunity. " The king said.
"This lowly subject obeys the decree." Wu Yan said.
"In addition, have Jing Zhaoyin and his men capture all the remaining White Lotus Cult remnants hidden within the capital. Don't let a single one of them escape!" The Emperor continued.
"This official has received the decree!" Wu Yan said respectfully.
Following that, the entire capital seemed to be alarmed. Under the orders of the Emperor, the capital's Zhaoyin... After interrogating and capturing the entire capital, they really did catch some people from the White Lotus Cult. At the same time, there were also some people from the Rebellion Force who were hiding here.
However, the higher ups of the White Lotus Cult and the large group had already left the capital. As for the people from the other powers, not many of them were in the capital. They weren't stupid. After all, the capital was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Great Lu Dynasty. Naturally, they would not risk their lives by hiding in this place. Previously, the upper echelons of the White Lotus Cult had stayed here for a period of time. However... After the assassination mission failed, they quickly retreated.
Therefore, although Jing Zhaoyin and Wu Yan had caused a huge commotion this time, and they had indeed captured some people, they didn't cause much harm to the Rebellion Force, including the White Lotus Cult.
The Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty also knew about this situation, so he immediately ordered his men to surround the Rebellion Force in his territory. In addition, some of the armies that were stationed near the border earlier... They were preparing to join the local army. They were going to surround and annihilate the Rebellion Force.
However, the emperor obviously didn't expect that the higher ups and the main army of the Rebellion Force had already secretly gone to the border area, and their target was still the Great Lu Dynasty's escort team.
Camel Peak, the name of a mountain near the border, got its name because of the two humps on the camel's back.
This mountain was very steep, and it was surrounded by dense forests. So, normally, no one would come here.
However, the usually lively Camel Peak had become noisy these two days. People were coming and going, and it was very lively.
These people who came to the camel peak all had weapons in their hands. However, these weapons were all very strange. There were swords, sticks, and clubs commonly seen in the army. There were also hoes, shovels, and so on. These people all wore different kinds of clothes. Some of them were tattered and tattered, while others wore armor that was commonly seen by Great Lu Dynasty soldiers.
"Leader Li, I heard that you conquered another town recently? When are you going to conquer a county?"
"Haha, it is just a small town. It is not worth mentioning. As for the county... I don't dare to think about it. Even if I want to fight, it will be Chief Liu. His equipment is better than mine, and he has more subordinates than me. It shouldn't be a problem to fight a county. "
"Fight a county? I do have such an idea. However, the Imperial Court's military has been mobilized frequently recently, so I don't dare to act rashly. If you can send some people to help when the time comes, I can give it a try. "
"Recently, I have also discovered spies from the Imperial Court near my station. Those people from the Imperial Court are probably going to make a move against me. I'm afraid that they won't be able to send any extra people to help Leader Liu."
"Same, same."
At the highest point of the main peak of Camel Peak, there was a group of people gathered together. They were chatting and laughing. On the surface, they looked harmonious, but between them... They were all carefully on guard, as well as constantly probing each other. Therefore... To obtain useful information for him.
These people were the leaders of the Rebellion Force who had rushed over from all directions. They were gathered here today to discuss matters. However, before discussing proper matters, there was no lack of politeness and probing.
There were a lot of people from the Rebellion Force in the Great Lu Dynasty Dynasty, and there were also many who had come to Camel Peak today. However, those who were qualified to sit here and discuss matters... Obviously, they were all people from some major powers, and they had at least a few thousand subordinates under their command. Among them, there was even a leader who controlled tens of thousands of people.
"Alright, let's not be so polite anymore. Let's talk about proper business. It's quite risky for everyone to gather together. Once the Imperial Court's soldiers find out, everyone will be in danger. I believe that everyone has risked their lives to come here. I don't think they're here to reminisce and chat. " At this moment, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face sat on the top right. He looked at the crowd and said.
This middle-aged man with a scar on his face was about 40 years old. He had a tall and sturdy body, and he looked like an ordinary man from the Rebellion Soldier who couldn't even eat or wear properly. There was an obvious difference between them. Moreover, there was a kind of intrepid aura coming from his body. No one dared to approach him. Just by looking at him, one could tell that... He was not a person to be trifled with, and he was also an extremely dangerous person.2
The scar-faced man's name was Wang Cheng. He joined the army in his early years because of his extraordinary skills. In addition to his bravery in battle, his position had been promoted rather quickly. Logically speaking, if there were no accidents, his future should be bright. He would have a bright future.
However, an accident still happened. When he invited his superior and colleagues at home, one of his superior's nephew actually took a fancy to his woman. This person usually relied on his uncle's support. He had done a lot of bad things. The things he took a fancy to... He tried his best to get what he wanted, but this time, it was not unexpected. Ever since he saw Wang Cheng's wife, he had made up his mind to get rid of her.
After that, he took advantage of the time when Wang Cheng was in the military camp. He actually went straight to Wang Cheng's home, wanting to get rid of Wang Cheng's wife. However, Wang Cheng's wife was also a loyal person. She wasn't tempted, but rejected firmly. However... That person was used to being arrogant and had a bad temper. Usually, as long as he took a fancy to it, there was no one he could not get his hands on. This time, he was naturally unwilling to give up so easily, so he used force on Wang Cheng's wife.
Although Wang Cheng's wife resisted with all her might, she was still a woman after all. In the end, she still suffered a vicious blow, and right at this moment... Wang Cheng rushed back. His wife felt that she had no face to see Wang Cheng again. After crying in front of Wang Cheng for a while, she committed suicide.
This made Wang Cheng very angry. However, his superior's nephew... However, he didn't seem to care. No matter what he said, women were just like that. If she died, then so be it. It wasn't a big deal, but he didn't know... Wang Cheng loved his wife very much, and their relationship was very deep.
Now, Wang Cheng had personally witnessed his wife being bullied by this man. After that, he had committed suicide in front of him. This was a huge blow to Wang Cheng. He was the nephew of his superior, and he didn't seem to care about it at all. This had completely infuriated Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng's skills were good to begin with, but his superior's nephew... How could he possibly be a match for Wang Cheng, who was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long? Because of this, the furious Wang Cheng easily killed that man. Although the man kept begging for mercy, Wang Cheng didn't hesitate at all.
After killing his superior's nephew, Wang Cheng didn't run away immediately. He actually took the initiative to apologize to Shangsi. In his opinion, he had followed his superior for many years and had made a lot of contributions. He had always been loyal to his superior. Besides, regarding this matter... It was his superior's nephew's fault. Even if his superior would punish him... It shouldn't be too much.
However, his idea was completely wrong. He had overestimated his position in his superior's heart. In the eyes of his superior, he was just a good subordinate. Such a person, as long as he was willing, could be nurtured. Therefore, even if Wang Cheng made a lot of contributions in the past, his superior didn't take him seriously at all.
At the same time, Wang Cheng had also underestimated the position of the person he had killed in the heart of his superior. That person was his superior's favorite nephew. Otherwise, he would not often help him wipe his ass.
