Seeing so many bandits present, Zhao Hu knew that the prefecture overseer usually did not bother with proper business and only wanted to extort the commoners.

"Honored masters, I, Hu, have called everyone here today. I presume that everyone knows the reason." At this moment, the Great Master of Tianqing Mountain started to speak. His name was Hu Dehai, and he was originally the young master of the Hu Family Manor near Tianqing Mountain. Ever since he was twenty, he had been able to carry the cauldron, and because of this, all the people in the martial arts world called him the 'Cauldron Bearing Deity', Hu Dehai. Then, because of the drought in Zhengzhou, there was famine. However, Zhengzhou Manor did not care about the lives and deaths of the people. They still levied exorbitant taxes on them, forcing the master of the Hu manor, Hu Dehai's father, to his death. After killing him, they set fire to his residence. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was fighting a fire, he opened the granary, and distributed the food in the two granaries of the State of Zhengzhou, then brought his men to Tianshan to rob the grass. In just a few short years, he had expanded the number of people to four or five hundred, which could be considered as a first-rate power in the surrounding area.

"Boss Hu, please speak frankly. When are we going into the city?" Under the stage, there were already some who couldn't hold back their impatience and spoke to Hu Dehai.

Hu Dehai smiled and ignored him, "Yesterday, I heard that someone was going to attack Zhengzhou City, but after some investigation, the person who said that is not from our Zhengzhou city. It seemed that someone was secretly up to no good. He originally thought that Hu Dehai was a boor, but now, it seems that he was wrong. He was able to guess with absolute accuracy that there was something wrong with the information sent to him by the people around him. This meant that this person was not a boor, but someone with brains.

"Manager Hu, what do you mean? We were caught (undercover)? " A village chief asked.

Hu Dehai shook his head and said, "The situation is still unclear, but …"

Hu Dehai said, he looked around at the people, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "However, it's really like what that person said, I wonder why most of the soldiers in Zhengzhou went to encircle and annihilate the Peach Blossom Mountain. This is our chance now. Tomorrow morning, we will send some people to the city, and when it is evening, we will work together and open the gates to the city. When that time comes, all the treasures in the city will belong to us! "

Zhao Hu nodded. This was indeed a good opportunity, and Hu Dehai had also chosen the best strategy. As long as someone was in the city, he or she would be able to minimize the damage during the siege.

When everyone heard this, they gave Hu Dehai a big thumbs up.

"As expected of Great Master Hu. I'm convinced by this attention!"

"To the Hu Clan Head's brilliant plan!"

At the suggestion of someone, everyone raised the big bowl in their hands and gulped down the wine in it.

Zhao Hu probed for a while and was secretly surprised. The number of bandits and bandits that came to the Alliance this time was actually more than three thousand people. After the banquet, everyone was almost done drinking. Zhao Hu took the opportunity to leave Tianqing Mountain with a few people, reporting the situation to Luo Lingwei.

"What?" After Luo Lingwei and the others heard what Zhao Hu said, they were extremely surprised. They had thought that these rumors would only lead to the prefecture overseer trying to force the soldiers to come back to their aid. However, they had never thought that they would attract bandits, and that there would be so many of them. If the city of Zhengzhou were to fall, it would be instantly destroyed by these bandits.

At this moment, everyone looked at the person who had come up with this rotten idea. It was the spy who had told them that Ye Lianhe was surrounded.

"What are you all looking at me for? Wouldn't that be better? The bandits had really come. By then, even if the soldiers didn't want to go back, they would have to go back. At that time, wouldn't the prince's crisis have been resolved? " The spy said to everyone with a nonchalant expression.

"You!" Zhao Wei stepped forward and grabbed his collar.

"Do you know that because of your words, the citizens of the main province have fallen into fire and water?" Zhao Wei was about to spit fire from his eyes as he stared at the cold-blooded fellow. His teeth were chattering.

The spy did not resist and let Zhao Wei grab him. He sneered and said, "Zhao Wei, don't forget your identity, and don't forget who saved your life. Let me ask you, is the lives of the citizens more important, or is the prince more important? "

After Zhao Wei heard this, the hand holding his collar loosened.

"Naturally, the prince is the most important …" "But …" Zhao Wei wanted to say something, but the spy interrupted him.

"Now that the heavens have given us the chance, we just need to wait for the chaos in the Zhengzhou City and for the soldiers to come back to our aid. Then, we can go straight up the mountain and bring the people from the mountain away from Peach Blossom Mountain and return to the capital." The spy said coldly, "Don't forget, how we made the oath to the Prince."

After the spy finished speaking, he turned around and left the dilapidated temple.

At this time, after destroying the temple, Zhao Hu was reporting to Luo Lingwei about Ye Lianhe's situation. He had been ordered to bring people to the Peach Blossom Mountain to find out more information. It was a coincidence that he had found out that Tianshan had summoned the head of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to discuss business.

"To reply, esteemed wangfei, this humble servant has seen the prince's injuries, but they haven't caused any major problems. After taking the medicine from esteemed wangfei, they're basically fine, as long as I rest for a few days, I'll be able to recover."

When Luo Lingwei heard this news, the boulder in her heart finally fell to the ground. Now that she found out that Ye Lianhe was fine, she began to feel very tired once she relaxed. She told Little White to prepare some hay for her, and Luo Lingwei laid down on it to sleep soundly.

After Luo Lingwei fell asleep, Zhao Wei ordered some people to take care of her, while he himself brought six or seven people along with the spies to explore the road to Peach Blossom Mountain.

It was noon and smoke was rising from the bottom of the Peach Blossom Mountain. Anyone who didn't know what was going on would think that the Peach Blossom Mountain was full of people. However, when he walked closer, he could see that the dense smoke was the work of these four thousand prefectural soldiers.

At this moment, in the main tent of the central army, Zhou Debiao was currently dining with a man dressed in scholarly robes.

"General Zhou, today is the seventh day."

"Yes, yes." Zhou Debiao responded to the man's words while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

This man was Ye Feian.

After Lianhe left the capital, he sent someone to secretly follow him and report the situation to him with a pigeon. Just like that, the scout followed him all the way to Zhengzhou. The current prefecture overseer was a prefecture overseer who had once been a prefecture overseer in one of the sixteen prefectures of the Shan Yang Prefecture that was ruled by Ye Feian. Thus, he could be considered one of his own people.

Knowing that the time was right, Ye Feian immediately sent a message to send someone to assassinate Yen Lianhe with the help of the prefecture overseer.
