Chapter 1051
Chapter 1051
"The concubines in the harem have all been bewitched by Shi Qing; and the generals of the Shu army have become her prey!"
"This made Zhu Wuji a spineless vassal king for several years."
"So even after being buried, you can't go to see your ancestors?"
"So, he really got the chance. He must have been ruthless."
After Wang Qinian finished speaking in accordance with his master's words, Xu Shan smiled and nodded, saying, "Notify Xuan Yueyu to lead five groups from the Ghost Pavilion to infiltrate Chengdu."
"Work with Sun Xiaoyu to eliminate the [Kui Dou] in Chengdu."
“When necessary, the intelligence network of the Exploding Sky Gang will also be handed over to him for operation.”
"understand!"
After carefully taking notes, Wang Qinian finished speaking and then flattered, "Just as you predicted, sir..."
"The former subordinates of the Marquis of Bei were indeed assigned by Shi Qing to Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge to cooperate with the remnants of Shi Qianhua's forces and defend Hundred Beasts Valley."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan sneered, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
"If the Valley of a Hundred Beasts falls, the Shu Mountain Death Swamp, where they are based, will have no natural defenses to rely on."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian nodded emphatically and said, "According to the report from the Black Miao side..."
"Zhang Hai has led the former troops of the Marquis of the North to set up camp in Hundred Beasts Valley. Moreover, based on the terrain, they are scattered throughout the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
“Once we launch a full-scale attack, once we get in, we may never be able to get out.”
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan asked with a cold smile, "Yuanfang, where are we?"
"We just received news that we're almost at the Narrow Gorge."
The entire Beast Valley is shaped like an inverted cone. It is wide at the front, covered by the shrubs of the Beast Ridge. It is narrow at the back, with complex terrain and one dangerous path after another, formed by cliffs and ravines, with sheer cliffs on both sides.
This area is known locally as "A Line of Sky".
This place is the escape route from the Valley of Beasts.
Li Yuanfang's mission was to lead his troops to occupy the area before Xushan launched a fire attack, thus cutting off their chance of escape.
Therefore, Xu Shan handed over Tianxue and the people of Mingyue Pavilion to him.
"They need to take a treacherous route, bypassing the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge. Along the way, they also have to cross the Shu army's defense zone..."
"That's fast enough."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian replied with a smile, "Yuanfang, the military order has already been issued through intelligence."
"We must take Yixiantian before dawn tomorrow."
After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan patted the talisman that Chen Dingtian had just drawn in his hand with a smile and replied, "Then tomorrow will be an auspicious day!"
Looking at the stack of talismans in his master's hand, Wang Qinian asked with a smile, "Did Master Chen fall for it?"
"hehe!"
"Little puppy, you're so distracted, your Dao heart is completely ruined. What do you say?"
"what?"
When Xu Shan suddenly mentioned himself, Zhang Liansong, who had been frequently turning his head to peek at the scene inside the room, instantly turned his head away with a red face and a thick neck.
He forced a defense, saying, "My lord, Brother Qinian, my Dao heart is steadfast."
"This is the first time I've seen this scene, and... it's a bit..."
"Uncontrollably, isn't it?"
After Xu Shan finished speaking with a smile, Zhang Liansong gave a nasal "hmm" and then lowered his head.
"Haha."
"This is a good thing. It means our Gou Dan is a normal man."
"Brother Qinian, tonight I'll take you to find some women."
Upon hearing Wang Qinian's words, Xu Shan clicked his tongue and said, "If you put it that way, how can Gou Dan enter the mortal world with a clear conscience?"
"You should say that your heart is troubled by demons, which should be swept away."
"Tonight, your brother Qinian will help you overcome all obstacles and solidify your Daoist heart."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
"You really understand me, sir. I just want to get rid of the demons in my heart."
"That's it."
"Ah ha ha……"
Early the next morning, at Xu Shan's command, hundreds of catapults and tens of thousands of barrels of kerosene and flammable materials were pushed out of Jiangzhou City by the soldiers in a grand procession.
Previously, Xu Shan had not been directly transported to the front lines in order to prevent the other side from learning of his intentions in advance.
Since today is an auspicious day, there's no need to hide it!
On the way, Zhang Liansong, who had finally transformed from a boy into a man, was absent-minded despite following Xu Shan.
Several times he even tried to squeeze in something, but in the end he stopped himself from saying anything!
"We're almost at Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
"Later, I'll be commanding from the front lines, and I won't have time to listen to your rambling anymore."
"If you have a fart... spit it out now!"
Xu Shan, who had long noticed Gou Dan's unusual behavior, said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liansong said hesitantly, "Sir, could you lend me some silver?"
"silver?"
Since joining the Zhenfu Division, Zhang Liansong has never accepted bribes or favors, regardless of who he was with during the confiscation of property.
It's not that he's honest or unsociable, but rather that he's completely useless.
He even kept his monthly salary in the Zhenfu Division and never went to collect it.
"What's going on? What do you need the money for?"
"I... I want to redeem Qianqian from her servitude."
"Who?"
'puff. '
Upon hearing this nickname, Wang Qinian, who had indeed arranged a full-service wedding for him the night before, immediately burst out laughing.
"The songstress who served Gou Dan yesterday was Qianqian."
After saying that, Wang Qinian couldn't help but tease, "Adan, are you serious?"
"Haha."
Those present were all considered Gou Dan's older brothers, and they usually took great care of this quirky and honest younger brother. Of course, they also often teased and amused him.
"No, Sister Qianqian's background is too pitiful. I want to save her from her suffering."
"Her background was pitiful?"
"A gambling father, a sick mother, a young brother, a broken woman... If you don't help her, who will?"
"Is that right?"
“It’s even more tragic than that… Her parents each had a late-life romance, her brother was divorced, and she single-handedly supported her grandfather’s education at a private school and took care of her grandmother during her postpartum period.”
"I'm a mud horse!"
Hearing this, not to mention others, even Xu Shan was completely bewildered.
This is a high-class bitch!
"Dog Egg, it doesn't matter if you get swindled out of some money. But if you're wearing a flying fish robe and holding an embroidered spring knife, and you get played by that bitch, you'll completely disgrace the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
“Sister Qianqian, she’s not that kind of person.”
"She gave me five taels of silver this morning before she left."
"That's money from a broken pot."
When a newbie goes to a place like this, if an experienced woman picks him up, she'll usually give him some kind of "broken gourd" fee.
"Quick, there's an honest guy in our Embroidered Uniform Guard. Everyone, go and bully him!"
"Haha."
Around noon...
Xu Shan led his troops and arrived at the foot of Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge!
The archers at the forefront had set up cover and were ready to hide in the jungle and charge the enemy from the front.
All the catapults and fire-breathing machines were set up in distinct layers on the high ground.
Incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs soaked in kerosene are ready to be launched.
'boom.'
As the [Wind Qi Incantation Talisman] in Xu Shan's hand instantly ignited, a strong southwest wind immediately began to blow.
Just then, Wang Qinian, raising his right arm, shouted, "Release!"
