Chapter 701 Dragnet
“Prefect Wen, are you sure Jiang Baichuan is in the city?”
At the gate of Luoyi City, Li Jingzhe asked as soon as he jumped off his horse.
Behind him, a group of secret envoys from Mingjian Pavilion were riding towards the city with great momentum, raising large amounts of smoke and dust. The sound of horse hooves was not uniform, nor did it have the momentum of thousands of troops, but there was a crowd at the city gate. The defenders felt like they couldn't breathe.
Wen Renjun, who went out of the city to greet him in person, was confused when he was asked this question.
Correct, sure?
I haven’t seen it myself!
Hua Wuying said it all himself!
Li Jingzhe saw his hesitation and frowned: "What's going on? We received your message and came thousands of miles away. Could it be that you told me that you were not sure?"
“How dare, how dare!”
Wen Renjun quickly lowered his head and said: "It's just that Jiang Baichuan is in the fifth realm of Dongtian, and I really don't dare to approach... At this time, he is being delayed by his disciple Hua Wuying in the library of the old Wulin Alliance General Altar. He has not been seen for three days. Accident, it should be...it should be among them."
"Huh."
Li Jingzhe snorted coldly: "If there is anything wrong, you are the only one to ask!"< br>
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Renjun's forehead. He wiped it and smiled apologetically: "There will be no mistake, there will be no mistake. Mr. Li, I have prepared a catch for you..."
"Bounce What kind of wind? Can’t you prioritize?”
Li Jingzhe reprimanded again: "I'll go take a look first. You wait here and prepare to welcome Building Master Ning and Commander Hong. They will be slower and they will arrive soon."
"Commander Hong?" Wen Ren Jun's eyes narrowed: "Which Commander Hong?"
"Of course it is the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army."
Li Jingzhe glanced at him indifferently, turned around and said: "Secret Envoy of the Secret Sword Pavilion, dismount your horse, Follow me.”
“Yes!” All the secret envoys of Mingjian Pavilion shouted in unison.
Soon, Li Jingzhe led a large group of secret envoys into the city, leaving Wen Renjun and the officials in his yamen standing there tremblingly.
"Master Ning and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army are also here..."
Wen Renjun's face twitched: "These two are the sons of Master Xiangjian and Marshal Hong. ...If something goes wrong, our career will come to an end..."
The master next to him gritted his teeth and comforted him: "Sir, think on the bright side, if we really capture Jiang. Baichuan, you will be on your way to success..."
"Stop talking nonsense"
Wen Renjun glared at him: "Why don't you hurry up and bring some people to greet you... Forget it, bring the horses and I will pick them up myself."
On this side, Magistrate Wen was in a hurry and busy, on the other side, Li Jingzhe has steadily arrived outside the former Wulin League headquarters.
He raised his head and glanced at the big plaque on the door, which read the words "Xuanmeng".
"Xuanmeng..."
He sneered: "It's not a small tone. If I remember correctly, the boy named Fu is now using the name of our pavilion all day long in the world. Invite people to come here to participate in the ceremony..."
"Master Commander."
A secret envoy beside him said cautiously: "Master Fu is the master in our cabinet, no need to give a name."
Li Jingzhe turned his head and glared at this person. , the emissary immediately shrank his neck.
The wind is gentle today. Although it is winter, the sun is so warm that it is not cold at all.
“Explore the surrounding situation first and evacuate the people at the same time.”
Li Jingzhe ordered: "When the eldest son comes, he will lead the Pai Shulou to set up formations outside. In addition, after he and Commander Hong arrive, they will bring them to see me as soon as possible."
"Yes. ." The secret envoys saluted and then quickly dispersed, disappearing among the surrounding buildings and streets in an instant.
Not long after, Ning Wuwang arrived with a strong man in his early thirties and covered in armor. Under the leadership of the secret envoy, they met Li Jingzhe. At this time, Li Jingzhe was holding a drawing and sketching on it with a pen.
Seeing the two people arriving, he stood up calmly: "Young Master, Commander Hong."
Ning Wuwu smiled and saluted: "Master Li always comes very quickly."
"This time, I have to work hard for Master Li to take command." The strong man also clasped his fists.
This man is nine feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He has a face with a Chinese character. It is said that he should be a model of a rough man, but his facial features are quite delicate, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and beady lips. If he were not a A tall and strong man, this face should belong to a beautiful woman.
But both Li Jingzhe and Ning Wuwang were used to seeing this unharmonious appearance.
Hong Zhi, the commander of the Forbidden Army - at the same time, he is also a child of a noble family.
He is the only son of Northern Xinjiang Generalissimo Hong Ruohai.
Actually, he was not supposed to be an only son. Hong Ruohai gave birth to three sons and one daughter since their marriage.
Except Hong Zhi, everyone died on the battlefield!
This Hong Zhi also joined the army when he was sixteen years old, and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself. When he was in his early twenties, he was already a thousand generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and established many important positions. Countless military exploits.
The emperor was grateful for the loyalty of the Hong family and could not bear the end of the Hong family. He issued an imperial edict and transferred Hong Zhi to the capital to hold an important position in the imperial army. In the following years, he himself climbed to the leadership position.
As for Hong Ruohai, who was very dissatisfied with not having a "child" whom he could fully trust to kill the enemy with him, and asked Ning Baimei to have a daughter as an adopted daughter, that was what he said.
Besieging Jiang Baichuan and inviting him here this time, apart from the fact that he can mobilize the strongest group of people in the capital - the forbidden army, there is of course another very important reason.
He himself is also a strong man in the cave heaven realm!
“Commander Hong’s words are serious.”
Li Jingzhe clenched his fists at Hong Zhi and returned the salute: “May I ask how many people Commander Hong brought this time?”
"One hundred elites."
Hong Zhi responded: "The Imperial Army is not good at charging and killing, but if it is used to hold on, it should be fearless."
"Brother Hong, you are being humble. "Ning Wuwang smiled at him and said, "You are from the Northern Xinjiang Army. If you are not good at charging, who is good at it?"
"Our sister is much better than me." Hong Zhi. He also laughed.
"Okay, you two."
However, Li Jingzhe did not smile, and his expression was extremely serious: "Let's hurry up. Jiang Baichuan doesn't know when he will notice us, and he doesn't know when he will come out. We must hurry up."
He took the hand just now. Zhang's drawing was displayed: "All the people within a three-mile radius have been evacuated, but in order to avoid alarming Jiang Baichuan, no one inside the Xuanmeng General Altar knew about our arrival."
"At this time, people walking outside the general altar All the people are already our secret envoys from Mingjiange."
"Next, I will send a few people to follow Magistrate Wen into the Xuanmeng main altar, take the people out as quickly as possible, and set up a trap there. Formation flag."
"Before that, eldest son, please immediately lead the people in Pai Shulou to set up a large formation to trap Jiang Baichuan, and ensure that even if he has the energy to escape, we can catch him. Leave a mark on your body.”
"Commander Hong, please lead the imperial army into the main altar and guard the library."
Speaking of this, Li Jingzhe subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife at his waist: "I will personally commit suicide in the library. "
"The Forbidden Army is our first line of defense."
"The secret envoys of the Secret Sword Pavilion are the second line of defense."
"The Pai Shu Tower is our first line of defense. The third line of defense.”
He looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "There is only one opponent, but I use the word 'defense line'. This is not to destroy my prestige, but to tell you... According to the cooperation between Qianfang Baixiao Tower and our Mingjian Pavilion, It is speculated that Jiang Baichuan is very likely..."
"The Xuanxing has been lit up"
