They rushed to Zhengzhou before sunset. After arriving at the Zhengzhou region, they were not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, they stopped in front of a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain outside the city. Zhao Wei and his men arranged sentries around the city, while the spies brought Zhao Hu and Liu Yi into the city to gather information. After all, it was already sunset and the city gate was about to close. If they entered the city and wanted to leave by then, they would have to wait until the fifth day. In order to prevent everyone from being trapped in the city, they would have to come up with a plan.

On the morning of the next day, Zhao Hu and the spy returned to the dilapidated temple together and reported the information they had gathered to Luo Lingwei. It turned out that three days ago, the day that Luo Lingwei received the news, Ye Lianhe and company had quietly left the main city. Three days ago, it was the day that Luo Lingwei received the news.

Since the Peach Blossom Village Chief was old friends with Ye Qing, he acted to save Ye Lianhe and the others. However, that group of pursuers, with the excuse of exterminating bandits, had transferred troops from the main region and surrounded the Peach Blossom Mountain.

"Go!" Let's go, to Peach Blossom Mountain! " Luo Lingwei stood up to leave.

"Empress, please wait!" Zhao Wei suddenly appeared in front of Luo Lingwei, as if he had something to say.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Luo Lingwei was patient as she listened to Zhao Wei. After all, Zhao Wei was the only one among them who had experienced countless life and death battles in the army. His words definitely made sense.

"Right now, the Zhengzhou Mansion soldiers are surrounding and annihilating the Peach Blossom Mountain. The mountain is already dead. If we go now, with just the twenty of us, we will only cause more casualties." Zhao Wei said.

"Then tell me! What should I do!? " At this moment, Luo Lingwei was a little angry. Although she knew it was useless, she still couldn't help but vent her anger on Zhao Wei.

"Empress, your subordinate has a plan!" At this moment, the spy who had been silent for a long time suddenly came forward to advise.

Luo Lingwei raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying to him, "Speak."

"There are only five thousand soldiers in the Zhengzhou City. Although there aren't many people in the Peach Blossom Mountain, there are still a few hundred men. The Peach Blossom Mountain is very dangerous, and the roads are winding. If these people wanted to block the way down the mountain, not even four thousand people would be able to do it. Therefore, right now, the State's defense is definitely empty. If we attack the State right now, the people who are besieging the Peach Blossom Mountain will definitely retreat. At that time, we can break free from the Peach Blossom Mountain's encirclement and save the King and the others. " The spy thought for a moment before revealing his plan.

"Hiss." Zhao Wei and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. No matter how brazen and audacious they were, they had never thought of doing something so outrageous. Although this plan was quite ingenious, when he thought of this plan, he did not place this peaceful and prosperous world in his eyes, nor did he place the lives of the citizens of a city in his eyes. He treated Zhengzhou like he was an enemy city.

"This won't do. If this happens, the entire city will suffer because of our actions!" Zhao Wei was the first to oppose.

The most important thing is to save the prince. The king's life is the priority." If you have a better plan, please take it out. " The spy snorted coldly. He had often heard people say that Zhao Wei was a brave warrior with three armies, but today, he realized that Zhao Wei was a man who thought over everything and was indecisive. He did not seem like a soldier at all.

"Alright, stop arguing." Luo Lingwei saw that the situation was about to go out of control, so she spoke up to stop him: "Although this is a good idea, let me ask you, we only have twenty plus people, how can we attack Zhengzhou City? The Zhengzhou region may be sluggish in military affairs, but it is still a large city with a deep pool of water. "

The spy nodded his head and said, "Empress, we are unable to attack Zhengzhou City alone. However, we only need to let the Prefecture Overseer think that someone is planning to attack Zhengzhou City." The spy explained his plan to everyone, and they were suddenly enlightened, and they all praised it as a brilliant plan.

At noon that day, Zhao Wei picked two agile kids to carry Luo Lingwei's special medicine and keepsake and left the dilapidated temple. He then decided to enter the Peach Blossom Mountain to find Ye Lianhe.

At the same time, a few more spies sent people to infiltrate the city. They spread rumors that all the soldiers of the prefecture were out, and the city was empty. There would soon be bandits raiding the city.

Although the True State was inland and did not have the years of war like the Frontier Pass, it had no harm for Mu Shouzhi. As a result, there were some poor families in the region that could not continue living, so they chose to occupy the mountains as their king and rob the merchants for a living.

At this time, Luo Lingwei and the others had already released the news. Not only were the people in the city panic-stricken, even the surrounding small and small villages began to stir.

That night, the Tianqing Mountains were brightly lit, thirty miles west of the Zhengzhou. The foot of the mountain was filled with sentries, and an endless stream of people came to pay their respects to the mountain. Zhao Hu also hid among them, bringing his two or three brothers with him as they followed the crowd up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, a few of the lackeys stopped Zhao Hu and the rest and started to examine them with torchlight.

"Mushroom, which way are you going?" "Who are you?"

A subordinate asked Zhao Hu in black.

"Old He, do whatever you want. If you want to drink milk, then Mama is here. She misses her parents and the child's uncle is here!" "I am from the martial arts world, I am here to pay my respects to the mountain."

When the lackey saw that the other party was able to answer him in black, he was relieved and let them pass.

Just like this, Zhao Hu and his brothers walked for about an hour before they arrived at the Sky Mountain's Convergence Hall. Although they had climbed the mountain the whole way, their expressions remained the same when they arrived at the place. They were in stark contrast to the people around them who were panting heavily.

After they found a seat, after about two incense sticks worth of time, everyone had arrived. Zhao Hu looked around and saw about forty to fifty people sitting at the tables. They were all managers of various mountains in the land of Zhengzhou. It seemed like these people were planning to do it for real and take advantage of the chaos to rob people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Great Master of Tianshan Mountain walked out and sat at the head of the table. He cupped his hands and greeted the men.

Before coming here, Zhao Hu had investigated that this Tian Qingshan was the biggest bandit in the Great Prefecture. Every time the government raided bandits, they would not fight with the soldiers, but only rely on the terrain to fight against the soldiers. Furthermore, most of the bandits in the Tianqing Mountain were from poor families, so they had relatives and informants in the surrounding villages. Over time, the imperial government had decided not to interfere in this matter anymore. They sent out orders for the prefecture overseer to deal with it by himself, so the prefecture overseer had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it. As long as he did not make too much noise, he would endure the humiliation, after all, he had been a government official for many years and this was only a point of his career.
