Astral Apostle Chapter 247: Intercept

  Chapter 248 Interception

  The news of Tianwangzhai's defeat, blowing like a hurricane, spread throughout Huyang and the surrounding areas, causing countless local dignitaries who followed the war to turn pale with shock and complain endlessly.

  They had hoped that the imperial court would send down heavenly soldiers to quell civil unrest, wipe out these lawless mobs and bandits, and return them to a stable world without having to worry about that Chen Feng coming to their door every day.

  However, the recruited Tianwangzhai was not only defeated, but also seized a large amount of soldiers and horses for Longwangzhai, making its foundation even stronger, and it was difficult to remove it like a gangrene attached to the bone.

  In the past, Longwangzhai was recuperating and had little action. Now it is alarmed by the imperial court sending troops to suppress the bandits, easily defeating the attacking soldiers and horses.

  For a while, everyone in Huyang and the surrounding officials of the Hao family was in danger, and Chen Feng's name could stop children from crying at night.

  ……

  Somewhere on the border of Huyang.

  A small team of dozens of people is walking slowly along the road.

  There is no cargo in the team, it is not a merchant, there is only one carriage, surrounded in the center, it looks like an **** guard.

  Actually, this is a fleeing team, and the entourage is all disciples of the Tianji Sect. When Tianwangzhai was defeated, they had no time to clean up their belongings, so they ran away directly under the instructions of Master Yufeng.

  Because Yufeng Daoist is the focus of Longwangzhai's pursuit, all the disciples took off their Taoist robes, changed into plain clothes, and pretended to be guards to retreat all the way outside Huyang in order to avoid leaking their possessions and avoid being tipped off by the villagers.

  The curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and Zhou Jing poked his head out to observe the scenery outside.

  "Where did you go?"

  A disciple next to him rushed over and replied: "Master, we have reached the border of Huyang. We only need to go for two more days to reach Jiangchun, and then we can take a boat north and return to Beijing."

   "Jiang Chun... not bad." Zhou Jing nodded.

  This disciple hesitated to speak, and asked in a low voice: "Master, your body..."

  "The toxin still has some residues, and it will take some time to recuperate. You just have to hurry."

   Zhou Jing finished speaking casually, and then closed the curtain again.

  All the disciples felt helpless when they heard the words.

  If Master recovers, then they will have confidence, and they don't have to be as frightened as they are now, for fear that Dragon King Village will catch up.

  Inside the carriage.

  Zhou Jing maintained a posture of cross-legged breath adjustment, but his upper body was lazily leaning against the wall of the car.

  "I don't know how Chen Feng's surrender is going..."

   Zhou Jing muttered in his heart.

  He has been on Bill's body, always on the run, and now he doesn't know the progress of Longwangzhai's pursuit of Lu Longchuan and others.

  According to his estimation, Tianwangzhai was broken up, and Chen Feng could capture at least dozens of leaders of Tianwangzhai.

  Although I did not personally control and persuade the surrender, I have already given instructions. With the current synchronization rate of No. 4 apostle Chen Feng, he must be able to complete it well. When he checks the log next time, he will know the specific result.

  "Speaking of which, Chen Feng won this time, and his subordinates have grown stronger again. If the imperial court conducts another conquest, most of them can only dispatch frontier troops. After a period of recuperation, they will almost be able to officially take up the rebellion..."

   Zhou Jing secretly planned.

  In the past few years, Chen Feng's influence has basically taken shape, and the time for an uprising is almost ripe.

  The time when the main worlds converge will be within two years, before the arrival of the Exploration Bureaus of various countries, it is best for oneself to formally revolt and cause the situation.

  In Dragon King Village, there is a certain amount of money, food, soldiers and horses in stock, even if the imperial court wants to counterattack with all their strength, it can resist it.

  And this time I also played a guest role as a logistics captain, completed the wealth transfer without anyone noticing, and provided a wave of start-up funds.

  With Chen Feng’s power and influence in Huyang, as long as there is an incident, he can directly separatize one side. It is estimated that except for [Traveling the bones of the public in Tianjie], the other four life goals can be directly completed, greatly increasing the progress .

  "Once there is an uprising, and people from all over the country respond, most of them will follow suit, and it will evolve into a situation where heroes compete for hegemony... and according to the historical laws of feudal dynasties, the first one to shout rebellious slogans to provoke troubled times will probably not have the last laugh .”

  Zhou Jing touched his chin, but didn't care too much.

  As long as he kills all the powerful family members, the apostle Chen Feng can basically retire. It is not the goal of this apostle's life to fight for the world.

  It is more pure to say that the first advocate must be condemned, and the palace is blessed.

  Besides, even if an apostle with such strong qualifications is lucky enough to win the country, being tied to the throne is a kind of restraint and waste, and it also violates the line.

  In his understanding, Chen Feng's name should be a knife, not a crown.

  "If someone is fighting for hegemony, let them fight for it. I'm enough to be a shit-stirring stick. It doesn't matter whether he is the imperial court or a hero. It doesn't matter if you become a public enemy..."

  Zhou Jing shook his head.

  He put this matter aside for a while, thinking about the situation on Bill's side.

  I performed so amazingly on the front line. After returning to Beijing, I will definitely be feared, jealous and jealous. However, I pretended to be poisoned to prove that I am not omnipotent, and it also reduces the alienation and wariness of the emperor.

  Although Bill's means are almost immortal in the eyes of the locals, the superiors will not like a person without weaknesses. Only by revealing some "weaknesses" at the right time can people feel at ease.

  Moreover, with the excuse of being poisoned, and he can get rid of the responsibility for the defeat of the war, even if someone wants to make use of the problem, it is difficult to do anything to him.

  Speaking of which, it was someone in the court who poisoned and assassinated him. Unfortunately, he didn't ask the spies about his history. I don't know which powerful person wanted to harm him.

  Zhou Jing thought in his heart that there were no people who had direct hatred against him in the court, and most of them were hostile to him because of interests.

  Among them, the only ones with sharper contradictions are Qingliu, Taiyiguan and Yudingjiao.

  Qing Liu needless to say, he has been beeping all day long, calling him a monster for a day or two.

  The Imperial Medical Center and the Yuding Sect are enemies with themselves.

  The grievances and grievances of the Imperial Medical Center are hard to talk about. Zhou Jing doesn't want to recall very much.

  So the one who is most likely to attack him is the Yuding Sect who is in charge of the Sitianjian, but it is not ruled out that there are people who are pretending to be fake.

  "The Jade Cauldron Sect... Could it be this group of people who hanged people and poisoned them? They were also the ones who brought me to the front line."

  Jian Zhengning's handsome face flashed in Zhou Jing's mind.

  Although the two sides lived in peace some time ago, the attitude of Yuding Sect regarding him as a threat has never changed.

  He squinted his eyes and assumed the perspective of the person behind the scenes, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

  If I go back alive, the emperor will inevitably ask the reason for the defeat, and of course I will mention the poison, which will be very troublesome for the people behind the scenes.

  So for the people behind the scenes, they should either hide and pretend to be innocent, or act simply and not let him return to Beijing...

   Just as he was deep in thought, Zhou Jing's ears moved suddenly, and he heard the dense sound of arrows piercing the wind.

  The other side, outside the carriage.

  The team marched slowly, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the road, catching all the disciples by surprise.

  All the disciples turned pale with fright, and hurriedly avoided, shouting in fright and anger.

  "There is an ambush!"

  "Be careful!"

  Arrow rain flanks.

  Aggression!

  Arrows were nailed to the wall of the carriage. The horses pulling the carriage were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.

   "Kill!"

   There was a loud shout, and the next moment, one or two hundred masked men jumped out of the woods, and rushed towards the carriage with a clear goal.

   "Protect Master!"

  The disciples endured their injuries, drew their weapons, and stood guard around the carriage to face these masked men.

  These masked men are all skilled and proficient in martial arts, but they can't tell what kind of sect they belong to, and the disciples of Tianji sect who have to pass on Qingliangshan martial arts are not mediocre, and the two sides quickly fought together.

  However, the disciples were outnumbered, and although they fought bravely, they were still powerless to stop the masked man's actions.

  While the guards on the scene were entangled, the leader of the masked man approached the carriage directly.

   "Don't hurt my master!"

  Under the staring eyes of the disciples of the Tianji Sect, the masked leader went his own way, lifted the curtain with a knife, and directly exposed the real Yufeng sitting cross-legged inside.

  Zhou Jing looked at him calmly without changing his face, and said lightly: "Who is it that wants to kill the poor?"

  "Hey, don't blame the real person. I just followed orders and went to the underworld. Don't worry about villains."

  The masked leader showed a fierce look, and brazenly drew his knife and stabbed Zhou Jing in the heart.

  If Master Yufeng hadn't been poisoned, they wouldn't have dared to intercept and assassinate him. Fortunately, this Taoist couldn't use his mana right now, so he fell into peace and let them bully him.

  A knife stabbed out, and the masked leader felt sorry.

  Realist Yufeng's magical skills are shocking to the world, he is naturally jealous and greedy, and wants to find out the secret... But this Taoist has many abilities, making people extremely fearful, he is worried that Ye Changmeng has many dreams, so he decides to bear the pain and kill him directly.

  This skill of commanding wind and rain may become a swan song...

  However, at this moment, the stabbing knife suddenly stopped.

  The leader of the masked man froze for a moment, and looked around in astonishment.

  I saw that Master Yufeng pinched the blade with two fingers, like iron tongs, making it impossible for him to **** it back.

  Crack!

  Zhou Jing snapped the blade with force with two fingers.

   Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hands into claws, and grabbed the mask off the masked man's collar with astonishing speed.

  The leader of the masked man was terrified, and hurriedly retreated.

  However, at the next moment, his movements froze, and he felt a pulling force sucking him towards Zhou Jing. Then, someone grabbed his neck, pinched his mouth open, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and forced him to swallow it.

  Before he wanted to continue moving, his hands and feet suddenly lost control, and he fell down on the carriage with a thump, only his eyes full of fright were left, and he could still turn around.

  "Eat my paralysis pill, don't even think about moving while drinking a cup of tea, just lie down obediently, and the poor will come to concoct you later."

  Zhou Jing threw down the masked leader, and Yu Feng rushed directly into the formation.

  He didn't make too much noise, he just rolled up pieces of wind blades and wounded each masked man.

  Seeing this, the rest of the masked men were thrown into chaos.

  "Master's magical power has been restored!"

  All the disciples of the Tianji faction cheered up, and immediately switched from defense to offense, making up for the wounded enemies one by one,

  The battle didn't last long, the group of masked men who intercepted and killed were quickly routed, leaving behind a lot of corpses and wounded, only about 20 people escaped, and Zhou Jing let them go on purpose.

  The remaining disciples controlled the living enemies and took off their veils, but they didn't recognize them at all.

  "Master, what is the origin of this group of people?"

  "Ask and you'll know."

  Zhou Jing probably knew it well, but he still came to the masked leader, fed him the antidote, and then took it aside for interrogation.

  "You don't want to know anything from me! Kill me!"

  The masked leader refused to speak, and wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself, but Zhou Jing stopped him.

  Seeing that this man looked like a dead man, Zhou Jing didn't take it seriously. He took out a needle bag from his bosom and pulled out a few silver needles with a blank expression:

  "Pindao does not want to be stained with blood, but you come to kill me, and the poor will not spare you, but it is not difficult for you to speak."

   After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and continuously shot ~IndoMTL.com~ and inserted needles into the opponent's head and neck.

  Not long after, the expression of the masked leader, who would rather die than surrender, gradually became dull, with saliva dripping from his mouth, his mouth opened and closed unconsciously, and he kept chattering like a fool.

  After all this was done, Zhou Jing asked questions, and the masked leader became ready to answer all questions.

   Soon, Zhou Jing got the answer, and he pointed out the heart of this person without hesitation.

  Pfft!

  The leader was shaken all over, and fell limply to the ground, already dead.

  "It's really the Jade Cauldron Sect...Ning Zhongjun, right?"

  Zhou Jing's eyes flickered.

  He didn't want to fight for the dominance of Si Tianjian, but the Yuding Sect was relentless and kept plotting against him, trying to put him to death.

   This group of people provoked me again and again. Although it was not dangerous, it was really annoying.

  "The Jade Cauldron Sect has been favored for so many years, and the incense is strong. It should be a rich family... It seems that it is time to collect a business loan from them."

   Zhou Jing thought to himself.
