Obtain the divine power at the beginning

"Master Shi is really blessed. He was escorted to the capital, and not only did he not have any trouble, but he even commanded troops."

"Yes! It's really strange! Every time Lord Shi was escorted to the capital, he was promoted. It's really amazing."

"Now, there will be a good show to watch. Xu Guan is a venomous tiger, and Shi Tianyu is a cruel wolf. When tigers and wolves fight, there will definitely be casualties. Let's see who will win."

"But I hope General Shi can come to Nan'an as soon as possible. We want to eat. We are so hungry. We haven't eaten for many days."

"The rebels are besieging us. Can Shi Tianyu rush over with so much money and food?"

"Anyway, it's good that General Shi is here! He is our spiritual pillar."

"Well, who cares? Anyway, it's a good thing that General Shi is here. At least we can kill more enemies."

"That's right. With General Shi's military power, those bald donkeys outside the city will definitely be torn into pieces. Then we will cook them alive."

……

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion, and no one paid attention to whether Nan'an City could be defended. The focus was again on Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu always becomes the focus of attention in this way.

Unless Shi Tianyu dies, Shi Tianyu will always be the focus of the world as long as someone mentions him.

Born with a dazzling aura.

~~
Therefore, Lu Baochuan, Bai Youlong and others quickly reversed right and wrong, and took this opportunity to abuse Shi Tianyu, saying that he might have an affair with Xu Guan and that he might very likely join forces with the rebels to attack our Ming army from both sides. We must be careful of Shi Tianyu's arrival.

As soon as Shi Tianyu comes, we must chop off his head first.

Ma Dehui, the Dai brothers, He Sihai, Song Ziqing, Su Xing, Zhu Xiang, Shan Wushuang and others felt that their luck had turned. As long as Shi Tianyu arrived, Nan'an City would definitely be saved.

Lu Yuan, Feng Zhenting, Gao Yingqiang, Xu Li, Fu Xing and others were all dumbfounded when they heard that Shi Tianyu was also participating in the suppression of the rebellion.

Feng Zhenting, Xu Li and Fu Xing were secretly happy when they heard that Lu Yuan had lost his post as governor.

They were originally sent by Wei Zhongxian to Sichuan to drive out Lü Yuan, so after they took office, they never listened to Lü Yuan's orders. Now, they have achieved their goal.

So, Feng Zhenting, Fu Xing, Xu Li and the others all showed smug smiles on their faces.

When Lu Yuan heard that he had lost his position as governor, he was very depressed and felt lost.

Dai Kun had completely come to his senses at this time. Seeing Lu Yuan's sad face, he walked over and comforted him, "Brother Lu, don't worry about the rumors." He was quite worried that Lu Yuan would fight with Shi Tianyu in the future.

Lu Yuan was very angry about Dai Kun's hypocrisy and scolded, "Weren't you very excited and crying just now? Don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and Shi Tianyu. I just don't want to expose your tricks. Humph! But I don't hate you either.

We have been colleagues for decades, and we have been together through thick and thin. We have some feelings for each other. However, in the officialdom, what matters is interests. I understand. Brother Dai, let's not talk about anything else, let's work together to protect Nan'an City."

~~
Dai Kun's old face suddenly turned red, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and hide.

Xiang Laixiang hurried over, took Dai Kun's arm, helped Dai Kun turn around and leave.

Shi Tianyu has been promoted, and Dai Kun will definitely be promoted as well. Xiang Laixiang will have to follow Dai Kun closely.

Moreover, Xiang Laixiang also knew that even if Shi Tianyu wanted to punish her, when Dai Kun spoke, Shi Tianyu would have to give him some face, right? Otherwise, would Shi Tianyu fight his father-in-law Dai Kun?

~~
Gao Yingqiang hurriedly tried to comfort Lu Yuan: "Lord Lu, this news may not be true! Shi Tianyu was originally a small prefect, how could he become the governor of three provinces all of a sudden? Isn't this a joke?"

Lu Yuan forced a smile and said frankly: "Although Shi Tianyu was only the prefect of Fucheng before, don't forget that he was still a second-rank official of the court. Now, he has only been promoted two ranks to the Prince's Guardian, which is a first-rank title! He is one of the three orphans.

However, General Shi has made outstanding contributions in fighting outside the border and he deserves a promotion. I am convinced.

To be honest, General Shi is indeed more suitable to be the governor than I am.

Because he is decisive enough, he does what he should do and will not be influenced or disturbed by others.

This is also my biggest shortcoming. Whenever I handle important official duties, I am always hesitant and afraid of both sides. I am afraid of offending this person or that person, especially I am afraid of offending the background of this person or that person.

But General Shi wouldn't.

Even the Ming Dynasty's laws were revised a while ago, adding a clause strictly prohibiting the development of industry and commerce.

However, General Shi wanted to develop industry and commerce and make the people rich, so he promoted the development of industry and commerce without any hesitation, even if it meant losing his job. He built the Qiansui Temple without wasting money and labor, and he did a lot of practical things for the people every year.

In just over a year, General Shi built more than 300 stone arch bridges in Jiangchuan, Pingting and Yantai counties. He also dug a small West Lake in Fucheng and built a new urban area. From a strategic point of view, Fucheng also controlled the key water and land transportation points.

Under the governance of General Shi, Fucheng is as beautiful as a big garden. I can't do any of these. I am ashamed! I really should reflect on myself. After the war, I will go to Kyoto and apologize to His Majesty. "

He expressed such emotion but said it to Feng Zhenting, Fu Xing and Xu Li.

To put it bluntly, this time the rebels took advantage of the opportunity and quickly occupied Sichuan, and the fuse was Fu Xing's wedding.

If it weren't for Fu Xing's wedding, it would have been impossible for Lu Yuan to lose Chengdu with his military force.

In this way, Lu Yuan also severely taught Feng Zhenting, Fu Xing and Xu Li a lesson.

Anyway, I am no longer an official and I am no longer afraid of anyone.

~~
Gao Yingqiang was deeply touched when he heard this, and said sadly: "Gao is also at fault! Before this, Gao had always targeted General Shi.

Today, listening to Lord Lu's speech is really better than reading ten years of books! Indeed, Gao has never sorted out the many things that General Shi has done for the people in Fucheng. Today, Lord Lu's speech reminded Gao. After the war, Gao and Lord Lu went to Kyoto together to apologize to the emperor. "

Zhang Jiaxuan said: "Okay! I will go with you too."

~~
Everyone was speechless.

However, Qiu Yang, Liu Jian and others still wanted to wait and see the good show of the fight between Shi Tianyu and Xu Guan.

It's a bit hot and humid in late summer nights.

In the dark sky, the moon slowly rose.

Chengdu. At this time, the three ministers of the rebel army and the generals of the Ming Dynasty Marshal's Office gathered under the big banyan tree in the courtyard of Lu's mansion to urgently discuss how to stop Shi Tianyu from entering Sichuan. Shi Tianyu's plan to enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion had already caused panic among the rebel generals.

After all, Shi Tianyu had the reputation of having fought outside the border twice, and also the reputation of having terrorized western Liaoning twice.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, he was the only one who had such an experience.

~~
Mao Quansheng, the Minister of Personnel of the Great Sheng Xing Dynasty, was very optimistic and said disapprovingly: "In my opinion, Shi Tianyu is nothing special. He was treated like a monkey by Lord Xu before. What is there to be afraid of? We in the Great Sheng Xing Dynasty now have many generals and soldiers, and we also own the land of abundance and countless money and grain. What is Shi Tianyu?

Now, except Jingzhou, other prefectures, counties and cities in Sichuan and Jing have fallen into the hands of our Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty.

I estimate that it will not be long before our Celestial Empire will be able to march into the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is rich! Jiangnan’s beauties are the most beautiful in the world!”

I don’t know if Mao Quansheng was trying to boost morale or was just naturally optimistic, but he spoke very easily and with the courage to take the risk.

Completely ignored the fact that Shi Tianyu entered Sichuan to quell the rebellion.

~~
Yu Hongzhi, the Minister of Finance, was very cautious and immediately refuted Mao Quansheng's underestimation of the enemy, saying: "We really can't underestimate Shi Tianyu. He was escorted to Beijing twice for investigation and trial, and not only did he not die, but he also gained more power and a higher official title.

On the surface, this man is just ruthless, but he has gone through many risks and gained wisdom and courage in the risks. He was able to convince the Carpenter Emperor to send Jinyiwei masters such as Wei Xueyan, Murong Sheng, Kou Yanming, etc. to escort the grain, which shows that this man has outstanding qualities in both civil and military skills. "

~~
Xu Guanxin was shocked by Shi Tianyu's plan to enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion. He immediately described the image of Shi Tianyu that he was familiar with, and said, "I have been with Shi Tianyu for more than two years and know that he is very cunning. He is not just a piece of shit as people in the martial arts world say, or a wild wolf as Dai Kun and others say.

Shi Tianyu is a person who always thinks carefully before doing anything.

It can be said that as long as this person is not asleep, his mind is always thinking about what to do next and how to do it. "

The courtyard was suddenly silent.

Before these people started the rebellion, most of them had heard about Shi Tianyu and had received intelligence reports from Xu Guan from time to time. Now, after hearing what Xu Guan said in person, they felt that Shi Tianyu was the most difficult opponent to deal with.

~~
Master Heyin said angrily, "Stop talking about Shi Tianyu. Who is Shi Tianyu? Shi Tianyu is just a grain officer, not a real commander. Humph! The one who led the troops to aid Sichuan is Yang Ting, the commander of the Shaanxi Command. The military power is in his hands, and Shi Tianyu's role is not very big. Wei Xueyan is just the commander of the Jinyiwei, the daughter of Wei Yan, nothing more than that. Humph!

The Jinyiwei were still okay in the internal struggles of the Ming court, arresting people everywhere, but can the Jinyiwei fight a war? "

But as soon as Shi Tianyu's name appeared, it intimidated all the civil and military officials of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty, and Master Heyin was quite annoyed.

~~
Yu Hongzhi didn't want to have a conflict with anyone, so he turned to Xu Guan and said, "Then please ask Master Xu to come up with a countermeasure."

Xu Guan immediately asked someone to bring a lantern, unfolded the map, pointed at the map and said: "The roads at the junction of Shaanxi and Jing, and the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi are blocked, and the Ming army from Shaanxi and Shanxi has retreated step by step into Shaanxi.

Even if Shi Tianyu had great abilities, it would be impossible for him to cross Jiange Pass or the border between Shaanxi and Jing alone.

If Shi Tianyu had come with a large group of people, our Jianghu informants would have known and reported it. However, there are many other ways to come to Sichuan, such as by water, going south along the Central Plains, or coming to Sichuan from Xining in the west."

~~
Fang Shizhong covered his empty crotch with his hand, came over with pain, pointed at the map, offered suggestions, and said: "Reinforcements are like putting out a fire. It is unlikely that Shi Tianyu will go south by water. It is even farther from Xining to Sichuan. It is very likely that he will go south along the Central Plains and enter Jingzhou first to relieve the siege."

I never thought that I would be castrated into a eunuch by the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty. Now the only thing I can do is to do more to save my life.

~~
Xu Guan praised Fang Shizhong, pointed at the map and analyzed, saying: "Eunuch Fang's words make sense. We must deploy some people from the underworld and gangs in the Central Plains to investigate and intercept. According to the intelligence in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Shi Tianyu used heavy weapons such as the golden shield and the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and rode a snow-white horse. These are one of Shi Tianyu's notable features."

However, Fang Shizhong felt that the three words "Eunuch Fang" were particularly harsh, and he thought of his wives, concubines and daughters who were now playthings in the hands of Wang Haoxian, and his heart was filled with sadness.

However, he also thought that it would be great if he could become another Wei Zhongxian in the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty!
In this way, in the future he can kill Xu Guan, He Yin Lao Zei Tu and other bandit leaders to avenge himself.

~~
Wang Biao nodded and said, "Eunuch Fang's words make sense. I will immediately send people to inform Su Jinshan of the Green Bamboo Gang, Hu Suiwei of the Guardian Gang, and Peng Baiqing of the Flying Eagle Gang in the Central Plains, and have the three gangs assign people to set up ambushes and investigate in these fortresses. If they encounter Shi Tianyu and cannot stop him, have them send letters by flying horses and carrier pigeons."

Xu Guan nodded in agreement and added, "Also, we must hurry up and attack Nan'an, and at the same time send more troops to besiege Jingzhou."

As a result, officials from the three ministries of the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty all expressed their approval.

Master Heyin had no objection. When it came to marching and fighting, Master Heyin knew that he was not as good as Xu Guan, so he spared Xu Guan's life and wanted to wait until the Mahayana Xingsheng Dynasty occupied half of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after Xu Guan proposed a response strategy, he still needed the master of harmony to come forward to mobilize troops, which made Xu Guan very distressed.

~~
The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the breeze is gentle.

That night, Shi Tianyu left the palace, but saw Wei Xueyan, Qin Zhengfang, Luo Baozhong, Kou Yanming and others waiting at the gate of the palace. He couldn't help but feel warm and moved. When Wei Xueyan saw Shi Tianyu coming out, she walked over and said in a gentle voice, "Is Your Majesty feeling better?" Shi Tianyu said jokingly, "I guarantee that Your Majesty will make Empress Zhang very satisfied tonight."

Hahahaha!

Everyone laughed.

~~
Wei Xueyan's pretty face immediately turned red, so she stretched out her hand to twist Shi Tianyu's ear and scolded him: "Can you be serious? What nonsense are you talking about? You are now the crown prince's junior protector and the governor of Sichuan, Yunnan and Shaanxi provinces. You are not an ordinary person, not an ordinary person, do you understand?"

Shi Tianyu suddenly opened his arms to hug Wei Xueyan, and whispered in her ear: "Just now, there were many people talking. Although I told you the whole strategy of suppressing the rebellion, we have to do it. Therefore, this time, Luo Baozhong, Qin Zhengfang and I will go first to suppress the rebellion. These people will never betray me because I am their nephew and they have accompanied me in the bloody battles with the Jin soldiers.

Xueyan, you can lead the large army to move slowly south for a day or two. There is no need to rush.

If necessary, I will send you a message thousands of miles away.

Then, you mobilized all your cavalry and suddenly rushed south to meet me.

This time, you are the commander-in-chief who leads the troops to quell the rebellion for the second time. It is also your best opportunity to take charge of the military power. This can be regarded as my best reward to you.

Of course, I will continue to repay you in the future.

Oh, by the way, you lead the cavalry south, and let Kou Yanming lead the army to escort some empty boxes and fake silver and grain, attract some gangsters, and kill more of them. In the future, the lives of the people will be better.

The world will be in chaos, but as long as you and I are here, the world will not be in chaos.

But, Xueyan, you have to promise me to protect yourself well."

~~
Wei Xueyan shyly wanted to push Shi Tianyu away, but after hearing this, she put down her hands and whispered, "But you only have five people, is that okay?"

Shi Tianyu said: "I will bring two spies, Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong, and let them pass on the message to the rebels. In this way, the rebels will definitely fall into all my tricks. Because what I do is completely opposite to what I say.

They both reported to their master what I said, but I would never let them know what I did.

Their martial arts skills are far inferior to mine, so they have no way of knowing what I am doing."

~~
Wei Xueyan nodded and whispered, "Your martial arts skills make me not worry about your safety. However, your diet will definitely be the target of your mortal enemy. They will definitely poison your food when the opportunity arises."

Shi Tianyu kissed Wei Xueyan, then separated from her, waved for Luo Baozhong, Qin Zhengfang and others to come over, and whispered what he had just said to Wei Xueyan.

Luo Baozhong and others immediately mounted their horses and rode slowly.

Shi Tianyu waved to Li Zhenhai to come over, and whispered to Li Zhenhai to ride alone and sneak into Jingzhou city.

Li Zhenhai nodded, jumped on his horse, and galloped south.

~~
At this time, Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong asked with tears in their eyes to join the army and serve as Shi Tianyu's vanguard.

The last time they went out to fight, they were both left behind by Shi Tianyu.

This time, they must keep an eye on Shi Tianyu and his whereabouts so that they can report the information to their master.

Otherwise, they would both be failing in their duty.

~~
Shi Tianyu nodded "touched" and asked Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong to ride their horses in front to lead the way. He reached out to take out the golden shield and Fang Tian Huaji from the system space, and pulled out a carriage, the "White Dragon Horse" and "Dudu", "Minmin", "Mingyue" and "Yayun". He let "Mingyue" and "Minmin" ride on the "Wind-chasing BMW", let "Dudu" ride on the "White Dragon Horse", and let "Yayun" drive the carriage.

Shi Tianyu was sleeping in the carriage with his golden shield and Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Not far out of the city, they met Murong Sheng and five hundred Jinyiwei cavalrymen sent by Wei Xueyan.

Murong Sheng said that he came here on the orders of Princess Changxiang to protect General Shi's food.

Shi Tianyu nodded with emotion and asked Murong Sheng to lead his troops to follow his carriage.

The Jinyiwei were very envious when they saw that Shi Tianyu's dogs all rode BMWs.

The crowd continued to leave the city and head south.

Not far from the outskirts of the city, he unexpectedly ran into Yang Feng, Jiang Chaoyuan, Linghu Zhan and others.

Yang Feng has always been with Gongsun Ren. This time, he was stranded outside the city because he encountered people from the "Snow Mountain Sect" and the "Xiaoyao Sect".

Shi Tianyu got out of the carriage, clasped his hands and said, "My dear seniors, my dear heroes, I have been appointed as the Crown Prince's Guardian, the Governor of Sichuan, Yunnan and Shaanxi Provinces, and the Chief of the Army and Grain Bureau. My dear seniors, my dear heroes, if it is convenient, please lend a hand to me and accompany me to Jingzhou to quell the rebellion. I will thank you for your kindness someday. This is an urgent situation, so I won't say more."

~~
"Fire Phoenix" Jiang Meilin said angrily: "You are simply a big liar. My parents were so worried about you that they traveled day and night to Beijing, but you are safe and sound. Humph! You still want us to help you? No way!"

She has a graceful figure, delicate as a spring flower, an innocent look, rosy cheeks, and is holding a sword in anger, which makes her look very cute and coquettish.

Guo Xiaotian was watching from the side, fascinated.

Li Tianxiao was very excited when he saw Jiang Meilin scolding Shi Tianyu. Time was running out, and Murong Sheng was watching him from behind instead of Wei Xueyan.

So, Shi Tianyu said to Jiang Meilin, "Calm down, beautiful sister. There is a reason for this. I believe Uncle Yang will tell you later. It's too late. I have a big house in Kyoto, called Mingjing Inn. Please ask Uncle Yang to take you to my house to rest. Jiang Xiao, the former head of the police in Fucheng, is looking after the house there. He will take care of you. It's too late. The military situation is like a mountain. I have to go south quickly to quell the rebellion."

Jiang Meilin's anger subsided a little when she heard the words "beautiful sister", but she still said with some resentment: "We have never lived in a big house, have we?"

~~
Jiang Chaoyuan quickly stopped his beloved daughter: "Lin'er, don't interrupt."

He then clasped his hands and said to Shi Tianyu: "General Shi, the rebels have been robbing everywhere since they occupied Sichuan. I also hope to help the people get rid of the bandits. Let's go together." Linghu Zhan reminded Shi Tianyu, saying: "Oh, just now I saw people from the Green Bamboo Gang riding horses out of the capital, just before General Shi left the capital. Oh, the Green Bamboo Gang is a big gang in the underworld. Their entry into the capital must not be a good thing. Could it be that they are in contact with the undercover agents in the capital? Yes! It is very likely so!"

Peng Jinshi said in a trembling voice: "It's so late, and there are still gang members leaving the capital? Who opened the city gate? There must be a reason."

~~
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianyu seemed to "take a breath of cold air" and "hastily" walked under a big tree, spread out the map and said, "It seems that there are rebel informants in the palace. The military secrets I just discussed with His Majesty must have been leaked. Brothers, be alert. Pan Dong, turn on the lights, and come over to look at the map together."

The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the orange lanterns are dim at dusk.

Pan Dong came over with a lantern, leaned over and pointed at the route on the map, and analyzed: "If someone leaks the information, our marching route may be blocked. The Jiange Pass in Sichuan and Shaanxi is already guarded by rebels. It is a choke point and difficult to pass. Going south from the Central Plains or entering Sichuan from Xining is too far away, and reinforcements are like putting out a fire, and it will be too late."

Shi Tianyu made a prompt decision and adjusted his thinking. He said, "It seems that we have to act separately and cannot go together. In addition, we have to ask Baodi to dress up as me and walk around in a swagger to attract the gang's spies."

Luo Baozhong asked in shock: "Me? I pretend to be you? Is that okay?"

~~
Shi Tianyu said in an unquestionable tone, "Yes, reinforcements are like putting out a fire. I must enter Sichuan through Zhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi through Jiange Pass. I have no choice. The army has not moved yet, but the food and grass must go first. Now, Yang Ting is leading the troops from the northwest to march along Jiange Pass, but they have been attacked by many gangs and have suffered heavy losses. Moreover, they have no food and grass, so I have to raise food and money to help them. Therefore, I must raise silver and grain before the army, otherwise, the troops of our Ming Dynasty will be in chaos without fighting."

~~
The moon is round and crescent, and the clouds are floating.

Jiang Meilin said jokingly: "What if we don't help you?"

Shi Tianyu had been through many battles, so naturally his brain worked better. He attacked her and flattered her, so he also said jokingly: "There is always a way out. However, with Baodi's help, it may be more convenient to act. Beautiful sister is as beautiful as a fairy, it is better to embroider and enjoy the flowers and live a comfortable life. War is not a joke, it will kill people."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meilin immediately became dejected and felt very bored.

Luo Baozhong said happily: "Then how should I pretend to be you?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "You ride my white dragon horse, take my Fang Tian Hua Ji and golden shield, and put on some makeup. Oh, Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong will follow Luo Baozhong and walk along the Zhili, Jinjijing route. Be fast all the way. After you reach Jingjie, choose a jungle to rest and wait for my arrival."

The moon disappeared into the clouds, and the stars shone brightly.

Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong didn't want to leave Shi Tianyu, and said in unison: "Sir, I'd better follow you!"

~~
Shi Tianyu explained with a smile, "Since the military secrets were leaked, oh, of course not necessarily, it's just to be on the safe side. If it was really a military secret leak, the rebels must have drawn my portrait, warhorse and weapons, and would have ambushed or intercepted me on the way. So, if you ride fast, they will be more nervous, and we can hide the truth from the world."

Thus, Pan Dong and Peng Jinshi suddenly understood: Shi Tianyu was going to take a completely different route from Luo Baozhong, and his speed would definitely be very fast. But which route would Shi Tianyu take to enter Sichuan?
This made Pan Dong, who wanted to inform the rebels, very distressed.

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately put away the map, and waved Yu Li over, saying to him, "Yu Li, inform Lord Mu Rongsheng immediately, and have him ride alone to Shaanxi as soon as possible, and inform Yang Ting's troops in the northwest to neither rush nor slow down, and send a small force from Henan and Anhui to Jing, and the main force to stay at the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi. When you see the flaming arrow rising from Jiange Pass, break through immediately."

“Yes!” Yu Li bowed and left as ordered.

Shi Tianyu watched Yu Li riding away, his lips moved, and he used the "Heavenly Escape Sound Transmission" to tell Yu Li not to say anything to Murong Sheng, and he could just march normally. Everyone thought that Shi Tianyu just watched Yu Li leave.

Then, Shi Tianyu said to Yang Feng: "Uncle Yang, you are the best at Qinggong here, please come with me and take a risk, disguise yourself, travel day and night, sneak to Jiange Pass, open the gate, and welcome the army to suppress the rebellion."

Yang Feng said excitedly: "Yes! It's my duty!"

Shi Tianyu said to Dudu again, "Master Cheng, Uncle Yang just said that Lady Shi and her group may have arrived at Mingjing Inn. Please go to Beijing tomorrow to let us know. Sect Leader Jiang, Sect Leader Linghu, and all the heroes, I'm sorry, but reinforcements are needed like a fire, and the military situation is urgent. I have to hurry on my way, and we'll meet again later."

Luo Baozhong brought the golden shield and the painted halberd, and said to Shi Tianyu: "My dear nephew Chu Feng, your weapon is in my hand. What will you do if you don't have a weapon? This is a war, not a one-on-one fight in the martial arts world."

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "The Luo family's curved sword is also a unique one in the martial arts world. Just lend it to me."

He then walked up to Luo Baozhong, took off his scimitar, got into the carriage, led Yang Feng, "Dudu", "Mingyue", "Minmin", "Yayun" and other people and dogs, and rode away at the speed of wind.

Peng Jinshi and Pan Dong were helpless and felt very unhappy as they rode their horses to follow Luo Baozhong, Qin Zhengfang, Yuchisong and others.

However, Pan Dong felt fortunate that, no matter what, he had learned of Shi Tianyu's new marching route. He could just wait until midnight, when Luo Baozhong and others were resting, and then he could send a pigeon to Xu Guan.

Previously, the members of the Qingzhu Gang left Beijing on horseback because they had obtained information from Pan Dong and Pan Dong's informants in the palace.

~~
The jungle was dark, and only everyone's eyes were shining.

Guo Xiaotian said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't Mr. Shi too unkind? We are helping him!"

Linghu Zhan hurriedly shouted, "Tian'er, reinforcements are like putting out a fire. General Shi has repeatedly emphasized that now is not the time to talk about human feelings." After that, he said to Jiang Chaoyuan, "Brother Jiang, most of the people in the Northwest Wulin have joined the rebels. We can't openly break with them!"

Jiang Chaoyuan didn't seem to have any intention of helping the Ming army. He nodded, sighed, and said, "Well! Nowadays, the imperial court is indeed corrupt. In fact, the rebels are not wrong, but the burning and killing are a bit excessive. We ordinary people can't afford to offend anyone!"

His nickname in the underworld is "Eight-sided Light", which means he is very smooth.

~~
Jiang Meilin asked Jiang Chaoyuan in confusion: "Dad, what did you do just now?"

Jiang Chaoyuan said indifferently: "Dad didn't agree to help the man surnamed Shi just now, but he didn't want to refute his face in public. What is there for him to help? Didn't Dad just say that we ordinary people can't afford to offend anyone!"

Jiang Meilin angrily questioned Jiang Chaoyuan again: "Dad, why didn't you stop Yang Feng and Luo Baozhong?"

He was quite disappointed that he could not participate in Shi Tianyu's counter-insurgency operation.

Moreover, he was very angry about his father's inconsistency.

~~
Jiang Chaoyuan said coldly: "Yang Feng is from the Jiangnan martial arts world, and his father is from the Snow Mountain Sect in the southwest. How can the Snow Mountain Sect interfere with the people in the Jiangnan martial arts world?" Jiang Meilin felt embarrassed and dodged to the side, saying nothing more, but she felt a little depressed.

~~
Huang Rucai saw this and said angrily, "That's right. Shi often finds excuses to ask Yang Feng's Sun Moon Escort Agency to escort the convoys, so as to support the Jiangnan martial arts community with some money and food, but he never gives us a cent! Why should we help that shitty general named Shi?"

Seeing that Jiang Meilin was depressed, Huang Rucai knew that Jiang Meilin was concerned about Shi Tianyu, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

~~
Jiang Meilin angrily cursed: "You stupid monkey, are you greedy for money? Why don't you join the escort team of the Jiangnan martial arts community? You are such a despicable person, greedy for money. How could the Snow Mountain Sect train an ungrateful person like you?"

Huang Rucai was suddenly speechless, his face flushed, and he was very embarrassed.

~~
Cicadas are chirping and insects are singing, and the jungle is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

Dudu remained silent, thinking that he had never expected Jiang Chaoyuan to be such a person, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

Hey! No wonder people in the martial arts world call him "Eight-sided Light".

~~
So, Dudu hid under a tree, hugged the huge axe, and closed his eyes to rest.

Ren Jing quickly broke the deadlock, pulled her husband to another tree, and said, "Let's eat some dry food and sit together."

After saying that, he opened his bag, took out some biscuits and handed them to the people who gathered around him.

~~
Huang Rucai embarrassedly lit a tinder, gathered some dead branches and leaves, and started a fire.

Linghu Zhan quickly took a few biscuits and came to Dudu's side, trying to persuade him kindly, saying, "Master Cheng, I'm sorry. Master Jiang just said something wrong and didn't consider your feelings. Please forgive me. We are all people in the martial arts world and we all have to make a living. Please don't blame me."

Dudu forced a smile and said, "No, Master Linghu, thank you. Take a rest."

He waved his hand, didn't take the biscuit, and closed his eyes to rest.

Linghu Zhan felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or not.

I had no choice but to lean against the same big tree trunk with Dudu and close my eyes to rest.

~~
The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, making them all red.

Be silent for a while.

Ren Jing nudged her husband with her elbow and whispered, "Are you really not going to help the guy named Shi?"

Jiang Chaoyuan said, "Alas! It's difficult! We came to Beijing with dust on our faces because we were concerned about Shi Tianyu. However, we must be cautious in participating in the suppression of the rebellion. If the rebels win, how can those martial artists who have become the founding members of the rebels let us go? How can we, a martial arts sect, fight against the martial artists of the world? Forget it, let's just turn a blind eye."

He sighed again, still feeling very embarrassed.

~~
Everyone was speechless, and everyone felt it made sense.

The night is dark and the flowers and grass are covered with dew.

Dudu sighed and thought that Jiang Chaoyuan was right. How could a small Snow Mountain Sect offend all the martial artists in the world?

So, Dudu stood up and walked over, took out some biscuits from Ren Jing's bag and started chewing them.

Everyone smiled at each other, and the grudge was resolved.

~~
There are only a few stars twinkling in the sky, and the jungle is quiet and natural.

Linghu Zhan had always had a good relationship with Jiang Chaoyuan, so he helped Jiang Chaoyuan explain, saying, "However, if we didn't help the guy named Shi, we were also helping him." Li Tianxiao was very surprised and asked back, "What? Not helping Shi Tianyu is equivalent to helping Shi Tianyu? What do you mean?"

Linghu Zhan quickly explained, "Yes! If we follow the Shi family, how can we not alert the martial artists in the northwest and central plains? However, Shi Tianyu and Yang Feng can disguise themselves and move around more easily. In this way, it will not be easy for those martial artists to find Shi Tianyu and Yang Feng. The so-called speed is the essence of war, and this is the truth. Let's pray to God to ensure that General Shi can suppress the rebellion smoothly."

~~
Jiang Chaoyuan nodded and said, "However, Shi was very honest with us. He even told us something as important as the attack on Jiange Pass. We have to keep it a secret for him!"

Linghu Zhan then warned his beloved disciple, saying, "Xiaotian, have you remembered what Uncle Jiang said?"

Guo Xiaotian nodded and smiled, "Master, I follow you every day, who else can I tell?"

Huang Rucai said whimsically: "Maybe Shi Tianyu said that just now on purpose, so that he can use our mouths to create confusion for him. This man has always been treacherous and cunning. In the past six years, everyone in the martial arts world has been calculated by him."

~~
Ren Jing then angrily rebuked Huang Rucai and shouted, "Then we should stop talking nonsense, lest Shi Tianyu is really creating confusion. If the people in the martial arts world suffer any losses, they will blame us again."

Huang Rucai realized that whatever he said was wrong, so he didn't dare to say another word and went back to picking up the dead branches and leaves in a dejected manner.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they all remembered Shi Tianyu's many unexpected behaviors in the past. They also felt that what Ren Jing said made sense.

Guo Xiaotian said unpreparedly, "Can we think of something else? Why do we always revolve around Shi Tianyu?"

Jiang Meilin said sarcastically, "For the past six years, everyone in the martial arts world has been revolving around Shi Tianyu. How can you not revolve around Shi Tianyu? Who do you think you are? Shi Tianyu is destined to be a superstar in the martial arts world. There is nothing we can do about it. He is lucky. He has become an official and has a great reputation. If we in the martial arts world don't support Shi Tianyu, will we support you?"

Guo Xiaotian was so bored that he had to open his mouth and bite the biscuit hard to hide his embarrassment.

Li Tianxiao looked at Jiang Meilin with a very unhappy feeling, sighing hard in his heart, and was instantly filled with loss.

Jiang Meilin suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, so she turned sideways, picked up the water bag, and drank from it.

Dudu suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha! That's right! For six years, the martial arts world has been revolving around a kid like Shi Tianyu, and this kid has become an official with power, wealth and a good reputation. What about us? Haha! The martial arts world has really made such a big joke in the past six years. It's really hilarious."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed, some at themselves, some at sadness.

~~
The remaining stars are bright and extinguished, and the east is turning white.

Everyone was tired and fell asleep, leaning against tree trunks.

"Oh! Where's my junior sister?"

Everyone was in a daze when they suddenly heard Huang Rucai's scream. They opened their eyes involuntarily and drew their swords and knives.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

The rising sun is rising in the east, its rays of light shining brightly.

Their clothes were wet with dew, and they looked around with knives, but there was no sign of Jiang Meilin.

Birds were singing, cicadas were chirping, flowers were blooming, and on the road, the sound of horse hooves began to be heard.

~~
Huang Rucai heard the sound of horse hooves and murmured, "Maybe my junior sister went hunting? She is kind and beautiful, and she might want to keep us from going hungry." Hearing this, everyone hurried out of the woods with swords in hand to see if Jiang Meilin was among those riding horses. However, they widened their eyes and saw that all the people riding horses were merchants, transporting some goods to Kyoto to sell.

Everyone searched in all directions, but there was still no sign of Jiang Meilin.

There are more and more people on the road.

Huang Rucai cleverly asked the passers-by: "Brother, excuse me for a moment. Have you ever seen a girl like this? She is dressed in red, riding a yellow horse, and she has a long sword on her waist. She looks pretty."

A passerby stopped his horse, patted his head with his hand, and then he remembered and said, "Oh! Yes, I have seen her, but I didn't see her clearly. She rode very fast and almost hit me."

~~
"Thank you!" Huang Rucai bowed to the man to express his gratitude, then ran back to the jungle and bowed to report the situation to Jiang Chaoyuan.

"It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up! Alas!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoyuan suddenly remembered where his beloved daughter was going and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

Upon hearing the news, everyone gathered around.

Jiang Chaoyuan was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's go to the capital and visit the Shi Mansion to see what the home of General Shi looks like. By the way, let's also meet up with Lady Shi and her group."

To avoid embarrassment, he mounted his horse first and rode away.

Li Tianxiao had a sad face, jumped on his horse, rode up to catch up, and said to Jiang Chaoyuan: "Aren't you going to look for your junior sister?"

Jiang Chaoyuan said calmly: "She is already so old, and she is also a martial artist, so it would be nice for her to go out and explore the world."

He speaks very smoothly and everything he says makes sense.

Everyone had no choice but to follow Jiang Chaoyuan and ride into the capital.

~~
The moon waxes and wanes, appearing and disappearing.

Shi Tianyu and Yang Feng galloped for a while, then Shi Tianyu slowly reined in his horse and asked "Dudu", "Minmin", "Mingyue" and "Yayun" to check the situation of the team. He then said to Yang Feng and others, "Everyone take a break."

Everyone dismounted, and in a jungle, they all leaned against a tree, sat down to eat dry food, drank water to quench their thirst, and fetched some mountain spring water to fill their water bags. At this time, Cen Zhan led more than 3,000 Jinyiwei to fly over on horseback.

Among them were the cavalry of Liu Cong and Liu Laifu.

In this way, Shi Tianyu's team had more than 4,000 people.

These people were also the ones who had followed Shi Tianyu to fight outside the border before.

Except for Jiang Xiao who brought some people to stay in Kyoto Mingjing Inn to receive the visiting Wulin Justice Sect on behalf of Shi Tianyu, and to supervise and protect the twenty roasted whole lamb restaurants and all the families, everyone else came.

While eating, Yang Feng reminded Shi Tianyu, "My dear nephew, you just said such a military secret in public. Although you said you were honest with the two major martial arts sects, the Snow Mountain Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, they did not join our army to suppress the rebellion. If it is leaked, it will be bad!"

Shi Tianyu sipped his saliva and said disapprovingly: "All is fair in war. If they spread the news, it's a good thing. It's also a good thing that they can keep it secret." But after hearing Shi Tianyu's explanation, Yu Li, Cen Zhan, Murong Sheng and others gathered around and asked in astonishment: "General Shi, what do you think?" Shi Tianyu smiled calmly and said: "If my strategy to suppress the rebellion spreads, Xuguan will definitely send more troops to Jiangeguan, which can relieve the pressure on the isolated city of Nan'an. What about keeping it secret? That goes without saying."

Yang Feng was still worried and said: "If this gets out, it will increase the pressure on us brothers!"
