The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Regarding the fact that Shangguan Wudi joined forces with three parties to attack on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Wan Pingchuan no longer had any hope in the power of the imperial court itself.

Even if we add the remaining three major families, the result will be the same. Even if we add the Confucian school, the outcome will still be precarious.

The difference in strength was too great, so Wan Pingchuan had no confidence in being able to defend against the attacks from all directions.

He could only count on Wu Haoran, and fantasize that the Confucian school still had some unused resources that could reverse the situation in an instant.

Wu Haoran's face also looked very unhappy. He also learned the result of the battle in the Burial Valley. But no matter what, the Confucian school, like the imperial court, had no way to retreat. It was an unprecedented critical moment.

"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to recall all the experts and defend Luo'an!"

There was a hint of disappointment in Wan Pingchuan and Tie Wuxin's eyes. They knew this, of course, but this alone was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem at all.

Wu Haoran then added: "Fortunately, Shangguan Wudi was so arrogant that he gave me five months to prepare. Everything can still be salvaged."

Wan Pingchuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, do you really have a solution?"

Wu Haoran sighed, "It's nothing more than fighting back when the enemy comes and covering up when the water comes."

He paused for a moment, looked at Tie Wuxin and said, "Master Tie, there are some things I can only talk to His Majesty alone, so please step aside for a moment."

Tie Wuxin nodded and was about to leave when he was stopped by Wan Pingchuan.

"Why do you have to do this, Shanzhang? Your loyalty to me is obvious to all. Why do you have to avoid me?"

Wu Haoran looked at Tie Wuxin and said in a deep voice: "I have heard that Lord Tie used to have a close personal relationship with the old Yue King Wan Tianlin. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Wan Pingchuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had completely forgotten about this. Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong still called him Uncle Tie!

Tie Wuxin's expression also changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Does this mean he doesn't trust himself?

But he still suppressed his anger and tried to make his tone sound calmer.

"Shanzhang Wu, ever since the disaster in the capital, I have severed all ties with the Prince of Yue's Palace, and I have also severed all ties with Fang Xun and Wan Zhaoning.

After coming to Luo'an, he managed all the affairs of the Six Gates diligently and did not dare to slack off for the slightest.

If Principal Wu suspects that Tie is secretly colluding with Fang Xun and Wan Zhaoning, he could just say it directly. Why beat around the bush? "

Although Wan Pingchuan had some doubts about Tie Wuxin in his heart, he still spoke up for him.

"Mr. Wu, there is absolutely no problem with Lord Tie. I can guarantee that!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Haoran sighed and said, "Master Tie, when you were in Caixia Sect three years ago, Fang Xun didn't make things difficult for you. This shows that even though he is an unforgivable criminal, he is also a person who cherishes the old times."

Wan Pingchuan's eyes suddenly became deep, and Tie Wuxin, who noticed this slight change, changed his expression drastically and shouted angrily.

"How can I control what Fang Xun does?"

Wu Haoran just said calmly: "Master Tie's words are true, and I also believe that you may not appreciate the kindness of that thief.

But what I am about to say to Your Majesty is of great importance, so I would like to ask Lord Tie to step aside for a moment.

This is also a way to avoid suspicion. If you still insist on staying, then I will have to doubt Mr. Tie's intentions!"

Tie Wuxin's face immediately turned red with anger, but Wan Pingchuan suddenly said, "My dear Tie, please go down for the time being."

Tie Wuxin's heart skipped a beat. He realized that the seed of doubt had been planted in Wan Pingchuan's heart and was rapidly taking root and sprouting. Perhaps Wan Pingchuan also felt that his sudden order to expel the guest was a bit chilling, so his tone became gentle again.

"My dear Tie, I will tell you after I have discussed this with Principal Wu. This is also for your own good."

"In that case, I will take my leave."

After Tie Wuxin said this in a deep voice, he left with no idea what mood he was in.

After he left, Wu Haoran also sighed: "What a pity, this matter is of great importance. As long as there is any suspicion about Lord Tie, I cannot take this risk. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Of course he knew that if he made things clear, it would definitely alienate the ruler and minister Tie Wuxin and Wan Pingchuan, and he also knew that the other party might not really be colluding with the enemy.

But compared to making Tie Wuxin alienated, Wu Haoran dared not take the gamble.

Wan Pingchuan was silent for a while after hearing this. If a king became suspicious of his subjects, it would be almost impossible to dispel their suspicions.

An unbridgeable rift had appeared between him and Tie Wuxin, and they could no longer be as close as before.

But Wan Pingchuan soon calmed down and said expressionlessly: "Shanzhang Wu, Tie Aiqing has also left. Can you tell me how to resist Shangguan Wudi, Fang Xun and others?"

Wu Haoran sighed again in his heart. He heard a hint of displeasure in Wan Pingchuan's voice. He seemed to be blaming him for his behavior just now. He immediately began to explain patiently.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say."

"Seven days ago, after receiving the news about the battle in the Buried Soldiers Valley, I immediately contacted the Supreme Saint Master and asked him for help."

"I thought this contact would fall on deaf ears like in the past, with no response, but I didn't expect the Great Saint to respond this time!"

Wan Pingchuan was immediately cheered up, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Master actually responded!"

The Master responded to Wu Haoran. Does that mean that the other party will provide some help other than verbal help this time?
Wu Haoran's tone also became slightly excited.

"Yes, Master gave me a formation this time, and asked me and Your Majesty to use the remaining five months to speed up the construction of a formation in Luoan.

If the formation is completed, it may be possible to capture all these rebellious thieves in five months!"

"Really?" Wan Pingchuan immediately showed joy on his face.

"It's absolutely true!" Wu Haoran said in a serious tone, "This is what the Master said to me personally!"

"that is really good!"

Wan Pingchuan was ecstatic. He felt that happiness came too suddenly.

Just when I fell into the abyss and was filled with despair, I was immediately pulled up to heaven and saw hope. It was just like riding a roller coaster. Even my little heart, which had experienced so many ups and downs, could not bear this kind of excitement.

With great difficulty, he managed to suppress his excitement and assured Wu Haoran.

"You can do whatever you want, Headmaster. Give me money and people. You don't need to ask me about any matters, big or small. Headmaster can make the decision. As long as the formation can be set up within five months, it will be fine!"

Wu Haoran nodded. Seeing Wan Pingchuan being so generous, he didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

"To be on the safe side, I will speed up the preparations and try to complete the formation within four months!"

"Okay, as long as we can catch all the rebels, we will obey you!" (End of this chapter)
