Chapter 1259 Huang Dao's Confession

Afterwards, under Jiang Fan's deliberate trickery, Huang Dao mentioned that Zhang Yi's affairs in the Demon-Slaying Alliance were originally handled by Tian Mole, but later a new person was appointed, whose name happened to be Zhuang Qu, whom Jiang Fan had just heard of.

Judging from the affairs of Sima Jing and the Demon-Slaying Alliance, Tian Mole seemed to have lost his power, which made Jiang Fan more worried about his situation.

Then, Jiang Fan was also concerned about the assassination incident that occurred when he was with his teacher. Huang Dao seemed to think that it had nothing to do with the Demon-Slaying Alliance, so he explained it directly.

Especially the masked bald man, who was from Dafoshan. Speaking of his Buddhist name, Jiang Fan really knew it - Ci Jue, the old monk who looked like a dead tree.

At the beginning, his uncle told him that this person's luck was higher than Ci Hang, and once attracted Jiang Fan's high attention.

Regarding the Demon-Slaying Alliance, Huang Dao also mentioned a strange thing. Although they claimed to be established to kill Jiang Fan, they did not seem to be as enthusiastic as imagined, and they could only be regarded as passive in doing things. The only thing he did was to recruit martial arts masters, offering a lot of benefits. He would accept almost anyone who was above the level of martial arts master, and thus he had gathered countless miscellaneous martial arts practitioners, most of whom were independent practitioners without any sect or school.

According to Huang Dao, most of them came for cultivation resources, and there were many lawless people, accounting for the majority.

This was indeed a very strange thing. Logically speaking, the Demon Slayer Alliance should represent the justice of the martial arts world. Jiang Fan was even more confused by this.

When Jiang Fan asked carefully, he found another problem. Except for some people who came for the simple purpose of cultivation resources, 70% of the remaining people hated the Qin State.

This inevitably made Jiang Fan suspicious. Could it be that he was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to unite the people in the martial arts world who were against Qin?

However, according to this logic, there were still many doubts, but the answer was not from Huang Dao.

Afterwards, Jiang Fan asked where the troops Cao Yuan lent to Sima Jing came from, and the answer he got was very interesting.

Some of them were similar to Huang Dao. Cao Yuan gathered the forces in the underworld and sent them to Sima Jing in batches. Among them, the Canglan River bandits who were suppressed by him accounted for more than 10,000 people.

The origin of the other part was very strange. Huang Dao introduced that they seemed to be truly trained regular troops, and they were definitely elite soldiers. There were not many people in this group, only 8,000 people, but they were very brave and good at fighting. Like the 50,000 private troops raised by Sima Jing's family, they are now the main force under Sima Jing.

Jiang Fan can infer from this that Cao Yuan must be dishonest and is definitely cultivating hidden forces behind the scenes. He is indeed more far-sighted than Cao Zijian.

In short, the above is the main composition of Sima Jing's 80,000 regular troops. The other 20,000 people were recruited by Sima Jing during the Jing'an period. Because they were carefully selected, they were also brave and good at fighting. The last two thousand people were the soldiers raised by Sima Jing to protect him.

Now, Sima Jing has a total of 180,000 troops. He is still selecting, training and adding regular troops from 100,000 miscellaneous troops day and night. At the same time, the work of recruiting soldiers from the public is in full swing. Especially in recruiting soldiers, Sima Jing can be said to have used every possible means. In addition to increasing military pay, he also sent people to search for old soldiers in his jurisdiction and conscripted them into the army. Young and strong men over the age of 15 were also recruited as civilian laborers.

As a result, there are now nine out of ten empty houses in Ning and Min states, and there are almost no young and strong men on the streets.

Out of anger with Sima Jing, Huang Dao told Jiang Fan everything without reservation. He even drew a map of Sima Jing's defense for Jiang Fan.

What surprised Jiang Fan the most was that Huang Dao took the initiative to say one thing before he asked, that Lin Zhaoji came to see Sima Jing.

It turned out that Lin Zhaoji finally bypassed Wei State and entered the country from the border between Minzhou of Jin State and Wei State. As one of the important military generals at that time, Huang Dao also heard some of the things they talked about, and one thing caught Jiang Fan's attention.

That is, Lin Zhaoji and Bai Shigong went to visit Taihua. Gu Qingshan had told him about this matter when he entered the mortal residence, but Gu Qingshan did not ask them about the purpose of visiting Taihua because of Lu Ya's situation at that time.

The reason why Huang Dao mentioned this matter seemed to be related to an elder of the Sima family. Jiang Fan even saw a possibility that there was an important person in the Sima family in Taihua, and his status was noble.

However, it seemed that this person did not clearly stand on either side of the two brothers. Sima Ji sent Bai Shigong to fight for this elder, while Lin Zhaoji seemed to have a different purpose. She seemed to be more inclined to Sima Jing.

From Lin Zhaoji's words, she seemed to be telling Sima Jing something, which made him feel relieved.

As for the specific situation, Huang Dao did not understand.

Jiang Fan actually had no interest in Lin Zhaoji, but this talented woman seemed a little strange, and her shadow was vaguely seen in many places. And this time she came to Jinnan again, what was her purpose?

Huang Dao was even less clear about this, but he heard that Lin Zhaoji seemed to be going to see the old immortal Sun, and seemed to want to join the Wujiang Medical Rescue Team.

It was really interesting, Jiang Fan suddenly wanted to meet her again. This Jin State's first talented woman who could not only maintain a certain respect for Sima Ji, but also had a deep relationship with Sima Jing, had a special relationship with the heir of the Xie family, could enter Taihua with Bai Shigong, and had a certain status in Wenqiu really aroused his interest.

Jiang Fan's detailed inquiries about Sima Jing also reduced Huang Dao's suspicion of her identity a little.

When it came to Sima Jing's right-hand men, he was also unreserved. Jiang Fan knew that Sima Jing now had four top staff members under him: one sinister, two cruel, three poisonous, and four weird.

After his brief introduction, Jiang Fan had a general understanding. The one who occupied the first deal was obviously the Yin Master Yun Qiu.

Huang Dao was okay with the other three people, but his hatred for Yun Qiu was almost equal to Jiang Fan himself.

In his eyes, if Jiang Fan destroyed half of the Huanglong Gang, the other half was in Yun Qiu's hands.

But unfortunately, at this time, he still held a glimmer of hope that the other party would let him go, but he was a little irrational in his anger. The person in front of him was definitely Yun Qiu's partner. His behavior could only accelerate his death.

Although Jiang Fan was not a bloodthirsty person, he was definitely not a weak person. The repeated targeting of the Huang family father and son had determined that there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Now the last strength of the Huanglong Gang is likely to be taken down by Yun Qiu, and Huang Dao is completely useless. After more than two hours, after emptying Huang Dao's stomach, Jiang Fan finally did not let him see his true face.

However, he did not kill Huang Dao as promised. It was Yu Heng who killed him.
