Chapter 391 The Hidden Worries of the Landlord According to this lineup, the four grandmasters are already quite terrifying.Yan Wang Zhu Di is known to have at most one grandmaster to protect him.The four of them besieged, and even the grandmasters could only struggle to protect themselves, let alone protect others.As long as the distance is shortened, Zhu Di will almost definitely die.What's more, Gu Xinyang has already persuaded Li Jinglong that with his army as cover and support, as well as a group of super-first-class and first-class masters to help, it can also offset the resistance of King Yan's side guards to a certain extent.Judging from the strategies and countermeasures he discussed with Li Jinglong, the chances of success should be said to be very high.But Gu Xinyang was still a little inexplicably uneasy.Originally, in his plan, this attack on King Yan should have a maximum of seven grandmasters to participate.In addition to himself, the "Sword Fairy" Wang Hatshui, the "Demon Sword Immortal" Miao Xuzi, and the Xue family's ancestor Xue Liang, the original Grand Master of Huai'an Mansion, Teng Lie, the Great Grandmaster of Huai'an Mansion, Qin Tianbai of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, and Jiangnan Peng Qingpei are all the objects he wants to invite and persuade.Although several of them did not owe him favors, and he had no involvement with the "Taiping Building" in the past, he knew very well that people in the righteous path had always followed the crowd.When he had already persuaded many grandmasters, it would be natural for him to persuade other grandmasters like Qin Tianbai and Peng Qinghui to join, and it would not be too difficult.Moreover, he had already known about the recent situation of these two grandmasters in advance, and knew what kind of way to persuade them.But to Gu Xinyang's surprise, Qin Tianbai and Peng Qinghui simply rejected him under the pretext of wanting to track down the Demon Sect and avenge Teng Lie.Gu Xinyang originally wanted to use it to solve the chaos in the north, and personally bring other grandmasters, such as Wang Hatshui, Miao Xuzi and others, to help them find traces of the Demon Sect and kill Sima Junxiu, the sword commander, on the condition that they would go north together.However, Qin Tianbai and Peng Qinghui made it clear that they were unwilling to participate in the battle between the imperial court and the four kings of the northern land, whether he persuaded him with the belief that "the world is peaceful and the people are safe", or with the temptation that "after pacifying the four queens, the imperial court will definitely praise the masters who have contributed to the effort, and the Qin family and the Peng family will definitely have great benefits in the land south of the Yangtze River", the two grandmasters were unmoved.Gu Xinyang had a hunch, they seemed to have known that he would come, and they had already made a decision before they met him.Originally, even if these two grandmasters didn't come, Gu Xinyang should be able to summon five grandmasters including him - but among the several grandmasters, Teng Lie, who trusted him the most and was bound to help, was killed by the Demon Sect when he held the "Hero Meeting" before!
Originally, he felt that this matter was very strange and might be problematic, but when he was in Huai'an City, he confirmed from Qin Tianbai and Peng Qinghui, who had examined Teng Lie's body, that Teng Lie had indeed died under the Demon Sect Divine Sword "Fenghuo Sword".The wound caused by the "Fenghuo Sword" is something that other martial arts or weapons cannot imitate and forge at all, since Qin Tianbai and Peng Qinghui can be sure, then Teng Lie must have been killed by Sima Junxiu.But at this moment, why did Sima Junxiu kill Teng Lie?
This matter is not of much benefit to the Demon Sect at all.And at the same time, there were rumors on the rivers and lakes that Huang Zicheng, a close minister of the emperor, was born in the Demon Sect and was the personal disciple of Sima Junxiu, the sword master!
This rumor will Huang Zicheng's background, how to take in Sima Junxiu, how to operate in the secret operation of the Demon Sect all the way to the imperial examination, and finally even won the Huiyuan, and then entered the East Palace, successively attached to the crown prince and the imperial grandson, and now has become a bachelor of Hanlin, his life history and behind-the-scenes tricks are described in great detail.As long as it is a person with a certain status and status, as soon as he hears these rumors, he knows that they are nonsense and impossible, but for ordinary people and people who do not know the truth, this rumor is really very credible.Now on the rivers and lakes, because of the "Heroes Club" in Huai'an City and Teng Lie's murder by the Demon Sect, the hatred and vigilance against the Demon Sect have been pulled to a new height.In this case, this rumor will easily deviate the public opinion trend of the "anti-Four Kings" that Gu Xinyang had built up with great difficulty.However, Gu Xinyang can't stay in the south for much now, he has gathered so many grandmaster masters, it is difficult to block the news for a long time, and he has to send it on the line, and he has no time and energy to investigate the things behind it.As a result, there were originally seven grandmasters expected, but in the end, only four remained.On the other hand, what made Gu Xinyang a little uneasy was that the few disciples sent to Qingzhou to deal with Wang Ge, whether it was the two disciples of Miaoxuzi or Tang Jian of the Tang Sect, or his confidant and beloved disciple Li Manqing, there was no news back.For Miao Xuzi's apprentices and Tang Sect disciples, he only knew that their strength was first-class masters, but he didn't know much about their specific actions and personalities.But he knows his apprentice Li Manqing very well.Not only has his martial arts reached the realm of super-first-class, but he is also extremely strong in dealing with the world, and he is ready to train him to become the next "owner of the Taiping Building".It stands to reason that even if there is any accident, Li Manqing should be able to escape if he can't defeat the other party in terms of force, and he should be able to bring back the situation he has encountered and inform him, it shouldn't be just like that, as if he disappeared.This thing is like a fish thorn, and it is stuck in the throat.But he was worried about startling the snake, when he went north to Texas this time, Gu Xinyang did not make a special trip to Qingzhou, he still believed that Li Manqing could handle this matter well, and he did not come back to report the news, it may have encountered some special circumstances.After killing King Yan and solving the matter in the north, if there is no news of Li Manqing, Tang Jian and others, he will come to Qingzhou to take a look.September of the second year of Jianwen.After the last war, the northern and southern armies recovered after several months of rest.The strength of the Yan army has been greatly improved through the addition of a large number of prisoners and the elite cavalry recruited by the northern Shaomin tribes.Relying on the huge amount of seizures last time, there is no shortage of grain, grass, baggage, and silver for the time being.And Li Jinglong's army relied on the continuous blood transfusion of the imperial court, and it was a strong army.In terms of strength alone, the imperial army still has an advantage.But judging from the actual sporadic battles during this time, the Yan army was in an absolutely strong position, basically pressing the scouts of the southern army to be unable to leave the camp for more than twenty miles.Originally, everyone thought that the battle situation would not change in a short period of time, and Li Jinglong would have to wait for the imperial court to continue to mobilize troops and raise grain and grass.But what I didn't expect was that in mid-September, General Li gave an order, and the imperial army actually began to attack the Yan army.
