Chapter 141: Encirclement and Killing Xu Mujun

"What did you say? Someone wants to break into the imperial mausoleum?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Liancang said: "Chen Zhi, who was guarding the imperial mausoleum today, reported that a general under Meng Guang said he wanted to see the scenery of Tianshou Mountain, but accidentally entered the forbidden area of ​​Tianshou Mountain and was stopped by him."

"But in my opinion, he was just interested and attracted by the sound of gunpowder explosions at the foot of Tianshou Mountain."

"Oh? Have you found out who it is?"

"Although the strength of the three people, Taoist Flying Dragon Tan Yunlong, Thousand-man Slaughterer Tu Kui, and Earth Immortal Sun Hui, are all at the Grandmaster level, they are all practicing unorthodox methods, and their combat power is far less than that of the orthodox Grandmasters."

Chen Liancang said: "According to Chen Zhi's description, the one who came to spy should be the Earthly Immortal Sun Hui."

"This person was taught by an extraordinary person in his early years. He has the ability to travel 800 miles a day. His Qinggong is amazing."

"The speed of God? Traveling 800 miles a day?" Zheng Yi's tone was a little strange: "The Speed ​​of God?"

Chen Liancang shook his head and said, "It's just a side door and unorthodox method, and it's only a rumor, no one has ever seen it."

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this person?"

"Did he find out anything?"

"No, we were stopped by Chen Zhi when we were approaching the forbidden area."

"That's fine. I remember that one of these three people is from the Shangwu Division."

"Your Majesty, it's someone from the East Factory."

Chen Liancang said: "Taoist Master Feilong, Tan Yunlong, was recruited by the East Factory two years ago and is one of our East Factory's hidden men."

"Then let him keep an eye on Meng Guang. He is a very cunning man. Let him do his job well and monitor Meng Guang and his important personnel at the same time."

"promise!"

Chen Liancang added: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhi also reported that the wall of konjac and sea lotus in Taizu's underground palace is about to be broken through, and we can vaguely see through to the other side."

"Really? How long will it take?"

"According to calculations, it will take another three months."

"Three months..."

Zheng Yi said calmly: "I can wait. Send a message to Hu Bafeng and tell him to take his time and not to damage the treasure behind the konjac lotus root."

"promise!"

"By the way, Mr. Chen, how are Xu Mujun and Xu Xuanwu doing?"

Chen Liancang hesitated and said, "Xu Mujun has arrived at Yunzhou Daming Prefecture, but no specific information has been received yet."

"But the Shadow Guards are always keeping an eye on that place. In two or three days at most, we will have intelligence sent back."

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see!"

Zheng Yi did not have to wait too long. Two days later, the Shadow Guards sent the latest information about Xu Mujun and Xu Xuanwu.

"Interesting... Xu Qing, you really didn't disappoint me!"

November 5th, the eighth year of Zhengei!
Daming Prefecture.

Xu Mushi urged his horse forward, with only 117 personal soldiers left behind him.

Everyone had wounds on their bodies, but their armor was still shiny, made of blood, and their eyes were cold.

Under the Daming Mansion, a sharp arrow shot out and hit Xu Mujun steadily.

"General! Go back! The Major General won't see you!"

On the city wall, a big man in full armor shouted loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city all had nervous looks in their eyes, staring at Xu Mujun under the city.

Two months.

Xu Mujun led more than 300 people from Binzhou to the south, killing tens of thousands of rebels along the way, including at least seven rebel leaders.

Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed and the land was filled with grief.

This made most of the rebel leaders behind him terrified when they heard of Xu. Whenever Xu Mu's army passed by, the surrounding rebels would immediately scatter like birds and beasts, for fear of being targeted by this evil star.

Xu Mujun also rode non-stop, only resting when eating and sleeping, and riding all the other time!

Along the way, more than 300 people exhausted thousands of horses and finally arrived at Yunzhou Daming Prefecture!
Xu Mujun raised his head slightly and looked towards the general on the city wall.

"Who are you?"

"Longxiang Army's deputy commander, Hu Junshan!"

"Long Xiang Army?"

Xu Mujun asked back, his tone full of indifference, and he said calmly: "When did my Longxiang Army have a lieutenant general like you?"

Hu Junshan was furious and gritted his teeth, "I was promoted by General Xu Xuanwu himself, why do I need recognition from others?"

"General Xu, although you are General Xu's father, swords have no eyes, and General Xu has ambitions for the world. As General Xu's father, you should give your full support..."

"Shut up!"

Xu Mujun's tone finally showed a slight fluctuation.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone!"

"You...are not worthy of serving in the Long Xiang Army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red long sword appeared in Xu Mujun's hand, and he slashed towards Hu Junshan.

"boom……!"

A streak of blood slashed past at an angle, and Hu Junshan, who was standing a hundred meters away from Xu Mujun, didn't even have time to react before his beheading!

The head flew up from the sky, and the body swayed for a moment before falling to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"General!"

"General Hu!"

"Someone come quickly..."

There were constant cries of surprise from the city walls, but the remaining soldiers were still defending their posts.

Under the city wall, Xu Mujun suddenly shouted: "Where are Long Xiangjun!!!"

The soldiers and horses on the city wall were puzzled. The man in front of them only brought more than a hundred people. How could there be...

Suddenly at this moment, voices were heard from inside Daming Prefecture and on the city walls.

"Long Xiang Army, here!"

"Long Xiang Army, here!"

The soldiers, centurions, captains of thousands and other close associates of General Xu Xuanwu who had been sticking to their posts suddenly shouted one after another, their eyes filled with fanaticism and respect.

"Open the city gate!"

"promise!!!"

The sounds continued to ring out again. Hundreds of soldiers who originally belonged to Xu Xuanwu's command actually climbed down the city wall and tried to open the city gate, which scared the soldiers guarding the city nearby.

"What are you doing!"

"Are you going to defect to the enemy?" "General, no..."

The leader of the Long Xiang Army said coldly: "As members of the Long Xiang Army, we must obey the orders of General Xu. Get out of here!"

The two sides drew their swords against each other, but the Longxiang Army was a force that had experienced many battles after all, and the soldiers defending the city were just new recruits recruited in recent years.

Although they had fighting power, they were no match for the Longxiang Army and were quickly driven out by them, opening the city gates.

Xu Mujun urged his horse forward, followed closely by more than a hundred Dragon Scale Army soldiers.

On both sides of the city gate, countless Longxiang soldiers knelt on the ground.

"We, greet the general!"

Xu Mujun stopped in front of a man and tapped him lightly on the shoulder with his whip.

"I remember you. You joined the Longxiang Army in the 35th year of Tianqi. Your name was Shi Dashan, right? When I went to Binzhou, you were only a captain of ten men. How could you be promoted to lieutenant general so quickly?"

Shi Dashan said excitedly: "Yes, General! I am Shi Dashan. I didn't expect that the general still remembered me."

"There are more than 100,000 people in the Longxiang Army, big and small. Naturally, I remember them all."

Xu Mujun spoke calmly, pointing at a few people and said, "You, from Cangshan, joined the army in the 37th year of Tianqi, Chen Feiyu."

"You, a native of Jiangzhou, enlisted in the army in the first year of Zhengyong, Wang Dong!"

"You, from Hanzhong, also joined the army in the first year of Zhengyong. Lin Feng, you also have a brother named Lin Jun, right?"

Several people said excitedly: "Thank you for your concern, General!"

"General, we miss you too!"

"General..."

Xu Mujun consoled them for a few times, then asked, "I'll ask you, where is Xuanwu?"

"Major General..."

Several people were a little hesitant, but Shi Dashan finally gritted his teeth and said, "General! The young general rebelled, and we didn't know about it at the beginning!"

"Once we know about it, we will not be able to refuse the military order."

"We are very grateful for General Xu's coming today, otherwise we would also..."

As he spoke, he choked up and gritted his teeth, "We don't know why the young general would rebel. If we had known this, we should have followed the general to Binzhou!"

"Where is he?"

"The young general is in the government office, but General, there are a lot of strange people coming to the government office these days. It seems that they came especially for you!"

"Oh? Interesting?"

Xu Mujun sneered and said, "Xuanwu has grown up and knows how to take advantage of the situation."

"Lead the way for me!"

"promise!"

Shi Dashan said respectfully, and then hundreds of thousands of Longxiang soldiers led the way for Xu Mu's army.

There were still many people in Daming Prefecture, secretly watching the group of people on the street through the windows. They were all frightened and closed the windows tightly, not daring to look anymore.

The steed walked slowly forward, and along the way, former members of the Longxiang Army joined in from time to time.

"General!"

"General! Gao Yalin is back!"

"General! Chu Xiaoer is back!"

"General!"

Soon, more than a thousand soldiers of different official ranks came running from all directions of Daming Prefecture, saluted Xu Mujun, and then followed closely behind the team according to the size of their former official ranks.

Among them were centurions, thousand-man commanders, lieutenant generals, and lieutenant generals.

There is even... a military aide to Xu Mu, who is as high-ranking as a general!
In just over half an hour's journey, Xu Mujun was followed by more than 3,000 people.

They were all the Longxiang Army that he left in Nanyue County in the past!
He was bewitched and deceived by Xu Xuanwu and had no choice but to embark on the path of rebellion.

And now, with the arrival of Xu Mu's army, this group of Longxiang army soldiers who were swept up in the conflict immediately seemed to have found their mother's home. They all abandoned Xu Xuanwu and returned to Xu Mu's army!
Soon, Xu Mujun and others arrived at the government office of Daming Prefecture.

Outside the government office, there were teams of fully armed soldiers guarding the front, pointing their weapons at Xu Mujun without hesitation.

"General!"

Xu Zhanshan said, "Some of those protecting the government office are from the Black Yue tribe, and some are from the Nanzhao army."

Xu Zhanshan, a member of the Xu clan, is also the third most important person under Xu Xuanwu.

He had originally not supported Xu Xuanwu's rebellion, but with the return of Xu Mu's army, he immediately abandoned Xu Xuanwu and returned to Xu Mu's army.

"The Nanzhao Kingdom..."

Xu Mujun closed his eyes and said calmly: "A traitor should be killed by everyone!"

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of determination in them.

"Xuanwu, come out and let your father see. Have you learned the loyalty to the emperor and the country that I taught you when you were young like a dog!?"

Although his voice was not loud, it echoed throughout the government office and was heard by almost everyone present.

Inside the government office.

Xu Xuanwu was sitting in the main seat, trembling all over.

"General! Make a decision quickly. Xu Mujun is already outside the door. If you don't make a decision now, it will be too late!"

Li Wenyou on the side looked anxious and kept trying to dissuade him.

He also didn't expect that the Longxiang Army under Xu Xuanwu would give up resistance so easily?
Xu Xuanwu was stationed in Nanyue County for nearly twenty years. He suppressed the entire county, and even the Nanzhao Kingdom was spreading his name.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he couldn't even subdue his own Long Xiang Army!
The entire Longxiang Army only recognized Xu Mujun.

Even Xu Xuanwu can’t do it!

Xu Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said, "Wenyou, you are forcing me!"

"That man outside is my father!"

"What father?"

Suddenly a voice sounded, and a scarred old man was seen sitting next to Xu Xuanwu. He was wearing a black robe and exuded an unpleasant smell.

He played with the water cup in his hand and said, "Anyone who stands in my way can be killed, even the closest relatives!"

"Xu Xuanwu, ah Xu Xuanwu, you are a man who is determined to dominate the world, how can a mere kinship stop you?"

"Yes, General, for your great cause, many rebel kings have sent three innates to assist you."

"As long as Xu Xuanwu is killed, half of Dayu's kingdom will collapse immediately. By then, the world will be settled and the throne will be within reach!"

Li Wenyou said anxiously. In addition to Xu Xuanwu, Li Wenyou and the scarred old man, there were three other people in the hall.

"Amitabha."

Suddenly, an old monk wearing a cassock and with a kind face said in a deep voice: "Donor Xu, your father is an accomplice of the tiger, ignorant of the righteousness of the world, and willingly driven by the tyrant to harm the world."

"For the sake of the people, Xu Mujun will surely die today!"
