Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 370: Becoming a Chessboard Monk
Liang Zhaohuang operated the 'Tianyantong' to observe all directions, but he couldn't find the cultivator of Liuqi Island for a while. Although he frowned, he was not in a hurry.

"When I kill these Eastern Sea bandits one by one, if the cultivator of Liuqi Island is really still nearby, don't worry about him not being exposed!"

Liang Zhaohuang's thoughts turned in his mind, his eyes turned slightly, and he turned his attention to the north and south directions, the situation of Zhang and Shi's encirclement and suppression of the Eastern Sea bandits.

At this time, Zhang Xianwei and Shi Bingcao had already led the team, rushed to the position pointed by him, arranged formations and restraints, and lay in ambush, waiting for the incoming East China Sea bandits to enter the network, and wiped out these two East China Sea bandits in one fell swoop.

This is the first battle under Liang Zhaohuang's deployment of troops and generals, and it is the time to gain fame and power, so there is no room for loss.So it needs constant attention.

"Huh? No!"

As a result, Liang Zhaohuang soon realized something was wrong, and his complexion changed slightly.

He found that the East China Sea Bandits attacking from the north and the south all suddenly stopped their progress, each stayed in place for a while, and then changed their marching routes one after another.

According to their changed route, it is possible to bypass the place where Zhang and Shi's teams were ambushing.

"Discovered?"

Liang Zhaohuang frowned slightly, then turned his hand to hold up a bronze mirror, and punched a few formulas into it.

Waves of light flickered on the bronze mirror, and Zhang Junxiang's figure emerged.

"Master County Magistrate, what are your orders?"

In the bronze mirror, Zhang Junxiang cupped his hands and asked.

"Lieutenant Zhang Xian, the East China Sea bandits have changed their route, so you immediately move eastward for fifty miles and set up an ambush."

Liang Zhaohuang didn't bother, and ordered directly.

In the mirror light, Zhang Junxiang frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything in the end, and directly bowed his hands and said: "Yes, my lord!"

Seeing this, Liang Zhaohuang nodded, turned the formula in his hand, the light in the bronze mirror changed, Zhang Junxiang's figure disappeared, and Shi Shaofeng's figure gradually emerged.

"Your Majesty!"

In the bronze mirror, Shi Shaofeng cupped his hands in salute.

Liang Zhaohuang nodded, and said directly: "Stone Bingcao, the East China Sea bandits attacking from the south have changed their route. You may have been exposed. Now move westward for thirty miles and re-arrange traps."

Shi Shaofeng in the bronze mirror also frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything in the end, he bowed his hands and said: "Yes!"

After sending orders to both sides, Liang Zhaohuang continued to operate the 'Sky Eye' to observe the four directions.

The East China Sea bandits on both sides changed their routes almost at the same time, which is definitely a problem.

If it is said that Zhang and Shi's ambush was exposed, it is impossible for the two East China Sea bandits to discover the ambush ahead at the same time.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, besides the two East China Sea Bandits, there are commanding officers.

It was the person in command who discovered the ambush of Zhang and Shi, so he commanded the two East China Sea bandits to change their direction of travel.

As for who the commander was, Liang Zhaohuang already had some guesses in his mind.

However, Liang Zhaohuang used the 'Sky Eye' to observe the surrounding area for nearly a thousand miles, but he did not find any abnormalities, let alone the possible commanding person.

On the contrary, it was the two East China Sea bandits who changed their course again after that, still avoiding the ambush of Shi and Zhang.

"It seems that I have met an opponent!"

Liang Zhaohuang frowned slightly, but there was a sneer on his face.

The rerouting of the two East China Sea Bandit teams undoubtedly fully confirmed his conjecture that there must be a commander besides these two East China Sea Bandit teams.

Thinking of these Eastern Sea bandits, who were able to accurately grasp the whereabouts of each caravan going to and from various counties, Liang Zhaohuang almost had a clear inference in his mind:

More than [-]% of the people behind the command of the East China Sea Bandits may be those monks from Liuqi Island.

As for the opponent's way of controlling the overall situation, it may be by relying on Gu worms, or it may be relying on other strange thaumaturgy from Liuqi Island.

Liang Zhaohuang is still not sure yet, but he knows that this time he has indeed met an opponent.

At this moment, he and the opponent are like two chess players, standing outside the 'chess game' and able to have an overview of the overall situation.

Then, one uses wealthy monks from various counties as pawns, and the other uses Eastern Sea Bandits as pawns.

It is to compete with each other.

"The earth makes the chessboard, and the monks make the chess pieces!"

"Okay! Let me see which one of us is better!"

A sneer appeared on Liang Zhaohuang's face, and he summoned people again:
"Inspector Lu!"

"The subordinate is here!"

Inspector Lu Shiming stood up first and bowed to accept orders.

At this time, Liang Zhaohuang turned his hand and took out a jade slip, a formula was punched into it, and a phantom light flew out and unfolded in mid-air, manifesting a map.

Liang Zhaohuang stretched out his finger to draw a line on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Inspector Lu, you take the team along this line, catch up with the East China Sea bandits in the north, drive them forward, chase them down, and fight with Zhang Xianwei. Attack back and forth, and kill the bandits who will attack the East China Sea as soon as possible."

"Yes, the next officer takes orders!"

Lu Shiming directly took orders and led the team of one hundred members of the Lu family to set off immediately.

"Ye Xiancheng!"

Liang Zhaohuang summoned people again.

"My lord, please order!"

Ye Junzhi led the way and bowed his hands in salute.

Liang Zhaohuang also stretched out his finger to draw a line on the map in the phantom light, and said: "You lead the team along this line, chase down the East China Sea bandits in the south, and attack the East China Sea bandits in the south, and attack the East China Sea bandits in the future, and wipe out the East China Sea bandits as soon as possible!"

"Leader!"

Ye Junzhi didn't say much, and immediately set off with his people after taking the order.

Afterwards, Liang Zhaohuang sacrificed the bronze mirror, contacted Zhang Junxiang and Shi Shaofeng, and said in a deep voice:

"There is no need to ambush. There is someone behind the Donghai bandits who can see the overall situation. Every time you ambush, the other party can see clearly. The other party ordered the Donghai bandits to go around again."

"Next, let's block the Donghai bandits directly and kill them forcibly."

"I have sent two teams of Ye and Lu to chase after them. You attack from front to back. You must kill these Donghai bandits as soon as possible."

As Liang Zhaohuang spoke, he explained the location and route for intercepting and killing the Donghai pirates.

"Yes!"

"Leader!"

In the bronze mirror, Zhang Xianwei and Shi Bingcao each took orders.

After making arrangements, Liang Zhaohuang activated the 'Tianyantong' to observe all directions, and muttered with a sneer, "I have the general situation in my hands, and I will suppress it with grandeur. Let's see how you break the game!"

After a while, the two battlefields in the north and the south broke out separately.

According to Liang Zhaohuang's instructions, the monks Lu and Ye caught up with the two East China Sea bandits, and immediately pursued and killed them.

The two East China Sea bandits were inferior to Lu and Ye's teams in terms of number of monks and strength. The battle broke out only for a moment, and they fell into a disadvantage one after another.

Under the leadership of Lu Shiming and Ye Junzhi, two monks, Lu and Ye, followed Liang Zhaohuang's instructions, chased and killed the two teams of Eastern Sea bandits, and drove them forward.

When the two East China Sea Bandit teams couldn't hold on, they wanted to repeat the old tricks and broke up and fled to all parties.

Commander Zhang Xianwei and Shi Bingcao each led their teams, and they also followed Liang Zhaohuang's command to attack from all around, immediately cutting off the escape route of the two East China Sea bandits.

　The third watch, there are two more tonight.
