Chapter 228 Each Alliance Has Its Own Ideas

Seeing Venerable Xu unconditionally agreeing to take action, Zhou Chi had a smile on his face.

Xu Kuang remained silent and looked at Song Kong casually. He always felt that there was something wrong with Tianlei Pavilion.

For some reason, Xu Kuang was now willing to believe Song Kong but not Zhou Chi.

Probably they are all the same people.

"Thank you Tianlei Pavilion for your kind help." Wang Cheng said with a smile, wishing that two more forces like this could help.

"It's easy to talk about." Venerable Xu showed a sincere smile, with a few wrinkles on his forehead.

"Then how should we deal with Lingfeng City now?" Song Kong said solemnly. When he saw Venerable Xu appearing, he had a vague premonition in his heart.

Zhou Chi was already suspicious of the Song family, but he believed that if the situation in Lingzhou was not resolved, Zhou Chi would not fall out with the Song family, but now there is another Tianlei Pavilion intervening...

After hearing Song Kong's words, everyone's smiles faded, and the top priority was naturally to solve Lingzhou.

Zhou Chi's expression was unusually solemn: "That peak royal lord is indeed very strong. If there are not three peak lords to deal with him, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with him."

After today's battle, his ancestors and the Wang family's ancestors went directly back to recuperate, which showed that both of them had a hard time dealing with him.

"Why worry, we now have one more Venerable Xu. As long as we send two more peak Venerables to block him, Venerable Xu plus us will be enough to deal with Yuwen Chengdu, Li Mu and other Venerables, and then besiege him." Wang Cheng said .

"It's not that simple. Don't forget, there is a Qing in the Chu Palace. A Qing did not show up today." Song Kong narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhou Chi and Xu Zun as he reminded.

"Aqing?"

Sure enough, after hearing Song Kong's reminder, everyone realized that A Qing did not show up today, and they almost forgot her existence.

"Why didn't Ah Qing show up?" Zhou Chi frowned as expected.

Xu Kuang pondered for a while, looked up at the crowd and said:

"Do you think it is possible that A Qing has left the Chu Palace?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone turned their attention.

"Leaved Prince Chu's Mansion?"

Xu Kuang nodded slightly and said with a guessing expression: "Yes, Ah Qing's talent is amazing, he is truly a peerless genius. How Ah Qing appeared in Lingzhou, we don't know, why he is loyal to the King of Chu, we don't even know, now the King of Chu is dead , with Ah Qing’s strength, he may not be willing to stay in the Prince Chu’s Mansion. Today’s battle is so critical, all the sages in Lingzhou showed up, but she did not show up, so I guess something happened to her, or she is not in Lingfeng City.”

Zhou Chi was shocked, and his eyes showed a bright light: "It is possible that this is possible. Although our alliance retreated in today's battle, it does not mean that we do not have the strength to take down Lingfeng City. Normally, Lingzhou will fight here. We should take action with all our strength to deter our alliance from acting rashly and buy time, especially with the arrival of support from the three royal nobles. She has such a good opportunity, yet she still hasn’t taken action?”

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and following Zhou Chi's thoughts, he said excitedly: "So A Qing is probably not in Lingfeng City!"

"In such a crucial battle, Ah Qing was not present. Gang Leader Xu's guess is not unreasonable, but..." Song Kong also spoke slowly, but his eyes turned to Venerable Xu again, showing a faint smile and said:

"We are just guessing now. For a complete solution, I think we still need help. We already have enough troops. How about asking Venerable Xu to invite Venerables from other forces from Lianzhou to help?"

Hearing Song Kong's thoughts, Xu Kuang's eyes lit up, he looked at Venerable Xu and said quickly: "This is indeed a perfect strategy, Venerable Xu, our Huanzhou Alliance has captured Lingzhou, and the next step is to attack Yizhou. In order to attack Yizhou as soon as possible, it is better to trouble Venerable Xu to go back and invite a few more Venerables to come, and we can wait for a few days before attacking."

While Xu Kuang was talking, Zhou Chi and Wang Cheng glanced at each other inadvertently. Logically speaking, what Xu Kuang said made sense, but...

"This..." Venerable Xu looked embarrassed and looked at Zhou Chi unconsciously.

Zhou Chi said: "Brother Xu, Master Song, Tianlei Pavilion can send Venerable Xu to help us selflessly. We are already grateful. It is good to invite other venerables to come, but they can agree like Tianlei Pavilion." What if they also want a share of Lingzhou’s share of our conditions?”

"Now that we can conquer Lingzhou, we don't need to let other forces intervene." Wang Cheng said that he did not want other forces to step in and take a share of the pie, and added: "It is better to continue attacking Lingzhou. In case our guess is wrong, A Qing is still in Lingzhou, and when it becomes difficult to solve the Chu Palace, it will not be too late to invite the Lianzhou forces."

Before Xu Kuang and Song Kong could speak, Zhou Chi changed the topic: "Didn't Yang Zaitian of Lieyan Sect take refuge with us? Gang leader Xu, why not let him help us investigate A Qing's situation."

"Okay, tonight I will ask Xu Bao to contact Yang Zaitian and ask him to inquire about the specific situation of A Qing and Lingfeng City." Xu Kuang said without hesitation, but soon showed hesitation:

"A Qing's whereabouts should be a secret of the Chu Palace. Yang Zaitian may not be able to find out tonight, and it would be bad if everyone in the Chu Palace becomes suspicious."

Wang Cheng smiled slightly, "This is easy to handle. Anyway, we will send a large army to attack the city tomorrow. If A Qing is here, she will naturally appear. If A Qing does not show up after Lingfeng City is captured, the soldiers of the Chu Palace will also question Ah Qing, then Yang Zaitian can naturally inquire about Ah Qing's situation."

"Okay, no problem." Xu Kuang agreed simply.

"Although there are three royal sages supporting us today, it still needs to be tested whether Yang Zaitian sincerely surrenders to us. It is difficult to win or lose the venerable battle in a short time. If the army wants to capture Lingfeng City, the two generals Xu Chu and Ma Chao must Get rid of them. Without these two Tianwu realm generals, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced, and it will be much easier to attack the city."

Zhou Chi showed a hint of insidiousness and murderous intent, and said with a smile:

"Didn't Yang Zaitian say that he would take the heads of Ma Chao and Xu Chu as a token of surrender? Tomorrow we will fight the generals and let Yang Zaitian find a way to poison Ma Chao and Xu Chu, and we will deal with them."

"Fighting General?"

"The power gap between our two sides is so huge, do they still dare to come out to fight?" Song Kong asked doubtfully.

Zhou Chi smiled disdainfully: "Haha, they are two famous generals in the Chu Palace. Fame is both a reputation and a burden to them. What's more, they are Tianwu realm generals. When it comes to fighting generals, the arrogant Tianwu realm generals will never back down. .”

"That makes sense."

"Victory in the Tianwu Realm is often decided by a thought. As long as Ma Chao and Xu Chu are weakened at the critical moment, they can be beheaded easily."

Everyone nodded silently, they did not believe that the entire Huanzhou Alliance did not have any generals who were evenly matched with them in the Tianwu Realm.

Soon, after a few words of preparation for tomorrow's battle, several people left one after another and returned to their own forces one by one.

In the Zhou family's base camp, there was a secret room. Zhou Chi had just entered, and Wang Cheng's figure also appeared immediately.

"Do you think there is any problem with the Black Dragon Gang?" Although Zhou Chi now has 80% trust in the Black Dragon Gang, he still needs to ask Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng said calmly: "Judging from today's performance, both Xu Kuang and Xu Xiong showed strong offensive intentions and wanted to quickly capture Lingzhou. I think there is no problem. They should not be spies of the royal family."

"That's right, if you are from the royal family, you won't want us to take Lingzhou quickly." Zhou Chi nodded, and the two of them were sure that the Black Dragon Gang was of the same mind as them.

"As for the Song family..." Zhou Chi's eyes were gloomy, "After your reminder, I did notice something unusual about the Song family during today's battle."

Wang Cheng frowned and said: "It's just our speculation now. Isn't the Song family okay? If so, we can only deal with the traitor Song family!"

"I will find out the situation of the Song family during the period of attacking Lingzhou. If he is true, after solving Lingzhou, it will be time to solve the Song family. At that time, we agree to Tianlei Pavilion and let Tianlei Pavilion replace the Song family. status, one of the two mansions previously assigned to the Song family will be given to Tianlei Pavilion!" Zhou Chi said coldly.

"Okay!" Wang Cheng was 100% sure that the Song family was the secret agent of King Ming. After all, this was the news given to him by His Highness King Yu.

As for the Song family, isn't it?

Wang Cheng felt cold in his heart, he had to let him be if he wasn't!

By winning over the Lianzhou forces, the Huanzhou Alliance could gain a share of the pie with one less top force. He didn't believe that Zhou Chi and Xu Kuang were unmoved.

At least in Huanzhou, the territory belonging to the Song family is also very attractive!

Moreover, he was able to solve an opponent for His Highness Prince Yu!

………………

In the Black Dragon Gang, as soon as Xu Kuang came back, he summoned Xu Bao, Xu Fengwu, Xu Shenglong, Cheng Yaojin and other senior officials to come.

"Xu Bao, can you still contact Yang Zaitian now?"

"Father, yes, Yang Zaitian said that most of the soldiers in Lingfeng City have inextricable connections with Lieyan Sect, so there is no problem at all in leaving the city to deliver the news." Xu Bao raised his head high and said proudly, seeing from the corner of his eye The brothers Xu Tian and Xu Hu clenched their fists, looking at him with envy, and he felt extremely happy inside.

Only Xu Fengwu raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't believe that the heavily guarded Lingfeng City could pass the news out so easily, unless Li Si from Prince Chu's Mansion did it on purpose!

"Very good. You will go out and deliver two things to Yang Zaitian later. First, where is Ah Qing, the unparalleled genius who once followed King Chu?" Xu Kuang looked solemn and said solemnly: "Second, tomorrow we will Let's have a duel and let Yang Zaitian find a way to poison Ma Chao and Xu Chu. We will kill them in full view of the armies of both sides."

"Yes, father, I promise to complete the mission!"

"I heard that Xu Chu and Ma Chao are two famous generals in Lingzhou. How do they compare to our Cheng Yaojin and General Guan? If General Cheng goes to the battle tomorrow and kills Ma Chao and Xu Chu on the spot, how will General Cheng's reputation be? Not high!" Xu Shenglong suddenly smiled.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, asking himself to kill Ma Chao and Xu Chu?

"Ahem!" Guan Sheng couldn't help but cough a few times. His face was a little red at first, but now it's even redder.

When Xu Shenglong saw Guan Sheng coughing, he thought it was excitement and showed a friendly face to him.

Xu Shenglong coveted Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng and wanted to win over them all the time.

Everyone also looked at the two of them, very moved. The reputation of the two of them had increased, which represented the reputation of the Black Dragon Gang.

Except for Xu Kuang, Xu Xiong, Xu Fengwu, Cheng Yaojin, and Guan Sheng, no one else in the Black Dragon Gang knows that the Black Dragon Gang has changed its mind.

Cheng Yaojin sat carelessly on a chair, facing everyone's gaze, shook his head and refused:

"No, the two of us have already been in the limelight in Yizhou before, and now we have to grab the credit. I'm afraid we will easily make other people jealous. I think it's better to forget it and give it to other forces."

"Yeah, that's right." Guan Sheng nodded quickly.

After hearing this, Xu Shenglong was about to speak, but Xu Kuang stopped him.

"Okay, General Cheng is right. Let others take the limelight in this battle. It is already a great achievement for Xu Bao to contact Yang Zaitian." Xu Kuang's eyes were deep and dark. .

If it weren't for this idiot, I might not have agreed to King Chu so quickly.

When Xu Bao saw Xu Kuang looking at him, he thought it was encouragement. He opened his mouth and showed a proud smile, spread his chest fiercely, and said loudly under Xu Tian's envious and jealous eyes?

"Father, don't worry, just leave it to me."

Xu Kuang nodded slightly and glanced at Xu Shenglong, Xu Hu, Yu Zhong, Niu Zhan and other senior officials of the Black Jiao Gang. Wisps of terrifying aura enveloped the lobby, causing the surrounding void to sink.

Everyone's hearts froze, knowing that this was the time for the gang leader to make a major decision.

"From now on, if your second uncle and I are fighting the enemy, everyone in the Black Dragon Gang will obey Xu Fengwu's orders."

Regardless of the horror of Xu Shenglong, Xu Bao and others, Xu Kuang's eyes became extremely sharp and he looked directly at them. Every word seemed to be deeply engraved in their hearts for them to remember forever.

"No matter what decision Xu Fengwu makes, you must abide by it and are not allowed to question it. If anyone dares to disturb or block it, Xu Fengwu is qualified to kill him on the spot. Do you understand!"

Xu Shenglong, Xu Hu and others swallowed, looked at Xu Kuang in disbelief, and then looked at Xu Fengwu.

They didn't know why their father made such a major decision and severe punishment.

………………

At the Song family's headquarters, Song Kong frowned and kept wandering in the lobby with his hands behind his back.

On the side were Song Yaohui, Song Lan, Song Zhe, the eldest elder of the Song family and other key figures of the Song family.

"Master, are you saying that Zhou Chi and the others have indeed suspected our Song family?" Song Zhe said anxiously.

The others also looked nervous, Song Kong looked gloomy.

Song Kong stopped, turned around and looked at the expectant but worried eyes of everyone, nodded heavily and said:

"I very much hope my guess is wrong."

Suddenly everyone below started talking:

"Why would Zhou Chi suddenly doubt our Song family?"

"It seems like our Song family hasn't done anything."

"Is it because we actively assassinated King Chu before?" Song Lan frowned.

"It shouldn't be. Assassinating the King of Chu is in the interests of the Huanzhou Alliance. Does this also confirm us?" an elder said.

Song Yaohui shook his head and said: "They should be just a test now, we can't mess up the situation."

As soon as Song Yaohui spoke, everyone quickly became quiet and looked at Song Kong. What should the Song family do next?

Song Kong had been considering this issue before, and his idea was to stand still. So he said: "Ancestor is right, they are just testing us now, we can't mess up our position, Zhou Chi will not take action against us before Lingzhou is resolved."

"Then should we inform Prince Ming now?" Song Zhe asked.

"No, now Zhou Chi has doubted us and will definitely keep a close eye on us. We'd better not contact Prince Ming first, otherwise it will be easier to be exposed." Song Lan frowned and said.

"Even if we pass it to King Ming, he will just tell us to stand still." Song Yaohui nodded slowly.

"So what do we do now?"

"We can contact Jiang Qian. Jiang Qian is so close to us, and Jiang Qian has traveled around the four major forces to help Zhou Quan. Contacting him will not expose him easily." One person suggested.

"And wouldn't it be better to let him contact Prince Ming!"

Song Lan suddenly realized: "Yes, isn't Jiang Gan also a member of King Ming? He is now at the top of the Zhou family. He was the one who told us that Zhou Chi suspected us before. If the Zhou family does anything, he should also know about it. "

"That's right, maybe we don't need to inform King Ming. Jiang Qian may have reported our current situation to King Ming." An elder said with a smile while stroking his beard.

Song Kong also nodded. He also wanted to contact Jiang Gan, and he also wanted to know what was going on with the Black Dragon Gang. Today he noticed the look in Jiang Gan's eyes, and it seemed that the Black Dragon Gang was not ordinary either.

At this moment, everyone suddenly thought that there was one of them at the top of the Zhou family, and they felt more at ease for a moment.

Song Zhe smiled and said: "This Jiang Gan is indeed a talent sent by King Ming. He is highly valued by King Ming. He has entered the upper echelons of the Zhou family in a short period of time, allowing us to predict the enemy's opportunities and play a major role."

"That's right, that's right!"

All the elders laughed in peace.

……………………

The sun had just risen the next morning, and the war drums of Lingfeng City were ringing loudly!

Three miles away from Lingfeng City, a huge black army formed. The dignified and solemn army of one million people once again gave the soldiers in Lingfeng City an unimaginable sense of oppression!

But this time, the Huanzhou Alliance did not start a war like yesterday. Instead, they set up their legions in formation, as if they were about to attack the city.

A large high-level military tent was set up in the Huanzhou Alliance army. Zhou Chi, Song Kong, Xu Kuang, Wang Cheng and other senior officials were sitting in the military tent, clearly looking at the scene of Lingfeng City.

The four peak sages, Xu Xiong, Zhou Hong, Wang Luo, and Song Yaohui, were also sitting in the military tent, looking directly at Lingfeng City, ready to fight at any time.

Venerable Xu naturally sat with them, his hands trembling slightly.

I haven’t done anything for a long time!

Except for the war of twenty years, the Yu Dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years.

As the pillar of a powerful force, His Holiness said he would go all out once he took action.

On the top of Lingfeng City, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Jiang, Ma Chao and others looked at the military tent on the high platform in the distance with cold eyes.

As a defensive side, they can only temporarily accept the opponent's attack.

In the high platform of the military tent, Zhou Chi smiled coldly without saying too much:

"The defenders of Lingfeng City are Ma Chao and Xu Chu, two famous generals in Lingzhou. Which general will bring good luck to the alliance? First, take down the enemy's head and let them know how powerful our Huanzhou Alliance generals are!"

Zhou Chi's heroic and arrogant voice resounded through the sky, and the army on the opposite side could hear it clearly.

When the soldiers of the Huanzhou Alliance heard the voice of the alliance leader, their eyes glowed with unparalleled brilliance!

You can be lazy again!

One by one, they raised their voices and roared enthusiastically:

"Fighting General!"

"Fighting General!"

"Fighting General!"

The roar shattered the clouds!

The alliance is getting stronger!

In the military tent surrounded by fanatical cheers, each general's face turned red, his eyes were excited, and he wished he could fight immediately.

The relatively weak grandmaster generals looked at these Tianwu realm generals such as Zhou Lian, Song Jian, Cheng Yaojin, Guan Sheng and others.

After the Yizhou War, they understood that only generals in the army could afford to fight on the battlefield, not even the masters or the Tianwu Realm.

The evil spirit in the army amplifies generals and suppresses ordinary strong men.

Zhou Chi glanced at the generals below, looked at the excited and excited expressions of the generals, and nodded slightly. He especially saw that Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng looked calm and showed no intention of fighting, and showed satisfaction.

Today's battle between generals, the leaders of each force know the meaning of it. If Yang Zaitian can succeed, the reputation of whoever fights will greatly increase.

However, Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng, both well-known generals of the Black Dragon Gang, chose to give up on their own initiative, which shows that Xu Kuang did not want to be greedy for credit and give up the credit.

very nice!

"The general is willing to go!"

On the left side, Zhou Lian, wearing red scale armor, suddenly took a step forward.

Zhou Lian, the top general of the Zhou family’s Tianwu Realm!

The other two Tianwu realm generals Song Jian and Wang Li were also ready to make a move, but when they saw Zhou Lian coming out, they could only give up temporarily.

"Okay, let's cheer for General Zhou!"

"Thank you, leader!"

Following Zhou Chi's order, Zhou Lian turned around and walked quickly out of the high platform, leaping into the air with a wave of peak Tianwu realm momentum sweeping out!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The legion soldiers who belonged to Zhou Lian below roared with continuous momentum. In an instant, Zhou Lian's momentum doubled. He came to the center of the battlefield, Pu Dao pointed at the Lingfeng City Gate generals, and shouted angrily:

"I am Zhou Lian of the Huanzhou Alliance. Which one of you, Ma Chao or Xu Chu, is going to come up and die!"

The sound was as loud as thunder, and the floating clouds in the sky were shattered!

"I am!"

At the gate of Lingzhou City, Ma Chao and Xu Chu heard that someone was challenging them by name. Such an arrogant person made the two of them unable to sit still.

"I'm going to kill him!"

Xu Chu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his whole body was wrapped in a faint blood-evil aura, which was extremely terrifying.

Ma Chao was also furious. He had always been the only one to call the formation. When would it be their turn to call the formation?

"Zhongkang, let me do it this time!"

His murderous tone chilled the surrounding temperature!

Li Jiang, Li Hai and others looked sideways, with curiosity in their eyes, wanting to see how strong these two were.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Xu Chu felt moved when he saw Ma Chao calling his name. He knew that Ma Chao was angry, and thinking of what Li Si said last night, he took the initiative to let Ma Chao go.

"General Ma!"

"General Ma!"

"General Ma!"

When the soldiers at the city gate learned that Ma Chao was about to appear, they immediately shouted loudly.

"General Ma, please wait a moment. My subordinates have great respect for General Ma. I would like to offer this cup of hot wine to wish the general on his return from defeating the enemy!"

Seeing that Ma Chao was about to go into battle, a general quickly ran to Ma Chao, with a fanatical face, kneeling on one knee, holding a cup of hot wine in both hands!

Author's words: I just rushed back this afternoon. I was exhausted physically and mentally, and my head felt bloated. I set the alarm clock and slept for more than an hour before continuing to type.

My thoughts on traveling these past few days.

Summary: My family was very happy during the self-driving trip, but as a driver, I was so tired and stuck in traffic! So congested! Extremely blocked! I often let them get out of the car to play while I look for a parking space.

Feelings: The number of modern holiday tourists is not as large as that in ancient sieges and battles!

Reminder: Exercise more. My body in my twenties is not as strong as my father’s.
