"Deputy deputy gang leader, the lake bandits in Dongting Lake defected to the imperial court and joined forces with the Wuchang Navy and the Changsha Navy to attack Changde Mansion. They took advantage of our people's unpreparedness and captured Changde City in one fell swoop!" The one who was killed by Deputy Liu! The gang leader grabbed the man by the collar and said in panic, "It is said that those officers and soldiers were extremely cruel and launched a massacre against our brothers who were staying in Changde City, resulting in heavy casualties among the brothers."
Changde Prefecture is adjacent to Yueyang Prefecture, and Changde City, where it is governed, was the first city captured by the Gongde Sect in the Huguang area. It was specially used to provide supplies to the main force of the Gongde Sect in Jingzhou Prefecture. Deputy Gang Leader Liu arranged for 20,000 fanatical followers of the Gongde Sect. To ensure the safety of Changde City, in his opinion, with the guarding of 20,000 fanatical merit cultists, and the assistance of Dongting Lake bandits, Changde City is as stable as Mount Tai.
Once the Changde Mansion is captured by the army, it will become an iron gate between Liuzhen and Jingzhou Mansion, dividing the power of the Gongde Sect in Huguang into two parts, making it impossible for them to look at each other. Deputy Gang Leader Liu is The attempt to withdraw the main force of the Merit Cult from Jingzhou Prefecture was intentional but powerless.
"How could this happen?" Deputy Gang Leader Liu then let go of his subordinate and murmured to himself. It was difficult for him to accept the incredible news for a while: Wasn't Dongting Lake already at war with the navy from Wuchang and Changsha? ? Why did he suddenly join the army?
Dangdang
Before Deputy Gang Leader Liu could come to his senses, a harsh gong sounded from the east side of the town.
"Go and see what's going on?" After hearing the gongs, Deputy Gang Leader Liu suddenly reacted and asked the subordinate in front of him in a deep voice. The gongs were used by the Merit Cult as a warning.
As soon as Deputy Gang Leader Liu finished speaking, warning gongs sounded in the south, west and north sides of the town. Deputy Gang Leader Liu was startled for a moment, and then his face turned livid. He knew that no one would dare to use this warning. The sound of gongs sounded as a joke. The sound of gongs ringing around the town indicated that enemies were attacking, and it seemed that Liu Town had been surrounded.
What puzzles Deputy Gang Leader Liu is that the Huguang area is now dominated by the Gongde Sect. If there is any trouble on the ground, he will naturally not hide it from him. How did the enemies who attacked Liu Town escape the attention of the Gongde Sect? Judging from the rapidity of the gong's sound, it seemed that many enemies were coming.
"Is it you?" After a moment, Deputy Gang Leader Liu's eyes flashed with shock, and he turned to look at Tan Zong sitting there. At this time, he finally understood that Tan Zong had removed the "general" on his chessboard. And what it means to say "there are unpredictable circumstances".
Just like a chess game, on the surface, Deputy Gang Leader Liu seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, he had already fallen into Tan Zong's trap. Not only did he lose Changde Mansion, but Liu Town was also surrounded by enemies.
"You just realized it now, don't you think it's too late?" Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this, threw the general in his hand on the chessboard, and looked at the bloodless Deputy Gang Leader Liu with a smile.
"You are from the imperial court!" Deputy gang leader Liu looked at the smiling Tan Zong, his heart sank suddenly, and he clenched his fists involuntarily. He found that he had fallen into a trap.
"That's what I am." At this point, Tan Zong no longer concealed his identity as an official. He stood up and pointed at Deputy Gang Leader Liu, and said sternly, "I thought you were favored by the emperor back then, but now you have done something like this." Such treasonous and unethical things are simply worse than animals and deserve to be punished with death."
"How did you know that I had been an official?" Deputy Gang Leader Liu was shocked when he heard this, and asked involuntarily. He had never mentioned this matter to anyone, and there were no more than five people who knew about it.
"I didn't know at first, but now it seems that you have indeed served in the imperial court before." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said to Deputy Gang Leader Liu in a deep voice. He just deliberately tested Deputy Gang Leader Liu when he was uneasy. , the result was to find out the details of Deputy Gang Leader Liu. In this way, as long as the true identity of Deputy Gang Leader Liu can be determined, then the leader of the Merit Cult hidden behind the scenes can be found.
"So what if I know, do you still want to walk out of here alive?" Seeing that he had fallen into Tan Zong's plan, Deputy Gang Leader Liu's face turned green and white. He never expected that the young man in front of him would be like this. He was cunning, then snorted coldly, and slapped his hands several times towards the door.
With a whoop, a group of big men with knives rushed into the house. When Tan Zong came to see Deputy Gang Leader Liu, Deputy Gang Leader Liu felt a little strange, so he arranged an ambush outside the door. If there was any trouble, they would come in and kill Tan Zong.
"Deputy Gang Leader Liu, do you think I came here to die?" Tan Zong couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and said to Deputy Gang Leader Liu calmly.
Hearing this, Deputy Gang Leader Liu frowned. It was obvious that Tan Zong was not here to die, but what backup plan could he prepare?
While Deputy Gang Leader Liu was thinking secretly,At the same time, Deputy Gang Leader Liu had a ferocious smile on his face. He grabbed Tan Zong's arm with his left hand, and pressed a pen holder on the table with his right hand. There was only a crash, and a sound came from above the two of them. A stream of black liquid spilled from the beam.
"Not good!" With the appearance of the black liquid, Tan Zong immediately smelled a pungent smell, and was shocked. He didn't care much, and flew up and knocked Liu in front of him with a kick. The deputy gang leader was kicked to the ground and retreated suddenly.
The black liquid was immediately poured on Deputy Gang Leader Liu who fell to the ground, and was immediately ignited by a lighted oil lamp placed on the ground inside the desk, and a fire broke out.
"Ah~~" Deputy Gang Leader Liu who fell to the ground suddenly became a burning man, rolling on the ground in pain.
Looking at the fire burning in the study and Deputy Gang Leader Liu rolling and wailing in the sea of ??fire, Tan Zong frowned slightly and led Shen San and others out of the room. Just as he had just guessed, the black liquid was Huoyou, it seems that Deputy Gang Leader Liu wants to die with him. He is really a stubborn guy.
"I will definitely find out who you are." After walking out of the study, Tan Zong turned to look at the study that was soon devoured by a raging fire, and walked away.
