When Tang Yin sat down in his Central Army Tent, Shangguan Yuan and Xiao Muqing split up. Not long later, Jiang Fan was brought into the tent by two Feng Soldier s.
Seeing Jiang Fan, Tang Yin's cold face immediately broke into a smile. He waved to the soldier and said: "Release Jiang Fan's ropes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" The two soldiers replied as they untied the ropes off Jiang Fan's body skillfully.
Jiang Fan was secretly shocked, he looked at Tang Yin with a puzzled expression. As the enemy, and he had even injured one of the great generals of Feng Army, why was Tang Yin so courteous to him?
Tang Yin smiled and indicated for Jiang Fan to sit down. He then asked casually, "Jiang Fan, how long have you been in the army?" Jiang Fan stood in his original spot without moving, and replied expressionlessly, "It has been three years." Oh, looks like Jiang Fan hasn't been in the army for long, there's hope in getting him to join his army. He spoke faintly: "Jiang Fan, this time, I have long seen through your plan of using Gu Feng to defraud and lure our troops into attacking North City. Now that Zhan Wudi and Hao Zhao are dead, all of your soldiers have been wiped out, logically speaking, as a traitor of Great Gale, I should kill you immediately. However, I, Great Gale, am using your capabilities right now, so I am giving you a chance. As long as you are willing to surrender to my army, I can let bygones be bygones. As long as you are loyal to me, I can also give you a promotion. " After listening to Tang Yin's words, Jiang Fan's expression did not change at all, and remained calm and indifferent. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I owe a debt of gratitude to Master Xiao Xiao Shang." He thought that Tang Yin and the other generals of the entire camp were waiting for Jiang Fan to finish, but when he finished saying this, he immediately shut his mouth tightly, not saying a single word more.
Tang Yin could not help but ask, "And then?" Jiang Fan raised his head, looked Tang Yin in the eyes, and said: "Could it be, this is still not enough for me to be loyal to the Master Xiao, even to the point of death?" To someone who values kindness over friendship, the weight of knowing someone else's heart is enough to repay them with their life, not to mention Jiang Fan who was still a Spirit Cultivator of Dark. Back then, Xiao Shang did not care about his origin and accepted him, and even reused him, giving him great service, Jiang Fan's heart had always been filled with gratitude.
Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were both Spirit Cultivator of Dark s, so they could understand what Jiang Fan was saying. The two of them frowned at the same time.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yuan thought that Jiang Fan was being unreasonable, and used some kindness that he knew what was good for him as an excuse. He took a step forward and bowed to Tang Yin: "Master, since Jiang Fan is determined to become Windy's traitor, there is no need to waste words with him. Master will directly send this thief out to behead him." Jiang Fan looked at Shangguan Yuanyu, but did not say a word. He lowered his head, placed his hands behind his back, and assumed a posture of "kill or kill".
If he wanted to kill Jiang Fan, it would be easy, it would just be a matter of his own words, but in the future, it would be extremely difficult to find a genius like Jiang Fan, who was able to obtain such strength at such a young age. It could even be said that it would be impossible, and there wouldn't be a second one in the Feng Country.
Tang Yin's face was still smiling merrily, but he was thinking in his heart. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand, and just when everyone thought that he was going to give the order to kill Jiang Fan, Tang Yin only said softly, "Take Jiang Fan down first, and lock him up." "Lord …" Shangguan Yuan frowned when he heard this and wanted to continue speaking. Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted him, "Yuan, there is no need to say anymore. I have already made my decision." Sigh! Shangguan Yuan let out a sigh and cupped his hands in salute, "Yes, my lord!" He couldn't tell what was different between Jiang Fan and him, and why Master was able to kill Hao Zhao so easily but was hesitant about it.
After Jiang Fan was brought away by the soldiers, Tang Yin asked Le Tian and Ai Jia, "Have you investigated Jiang Fan's background clearly?" When Jiang Fan displayed his skills in front of the two armies and shot Zhan Hu, the spies of the Sky Eye and Earth Web had already begun investigating Jiang Fan. Now that Tang Yin had asked such a question, Ai Jia walked out of the line and cupped her hands: "Sir, the investigation has already been carried out." "Tell me about it!" Tang Yin raised his head and said.
"Jiang Fan was a citizen of Chang Ning, of poor family, fatherless, with only one mother. He had trained in the Shadow and Dark elements since he was young, and at the age of twenty-three, he joined the army. He had been in the army for more than three years …" It could be said that he could dig a hole through all eight generations of Jiang Fan's ancestors. Seeing that Tang Yin was listening intently, Ai Jia also explained in a very detailed manner.
After Ai Jia finished her sentence, Tang Yin asked, "Is Jiang Fan's mother in the Zhangyu City, or is he in Chang Ning Town?" Chang Ning Town was one of the cities in Gaochuan County. Although it wasn't too far from Zhangyu, it was a difficult road, and it would take one or two days to get from the Zhangyu to Chang Ning Town.
Ai Jia replied, "It's still in Chang Ning Town." "Hmph!" When Shangguan Yuan heard this, he snorted indignantly and said: "I thought Jiang Fan was a very loyal person, but he's actually just an unfilial person who forgot his roots. Even though he enjoys wealth and prosperity in the Provincial Capital, he left my mother in such a desolate place, which is extremely shameless!" Tang Yin rubbed his chin, he did not express his opinion, but only looked at Ai Jia, waiting for her to continue.
Ai Jia smiled towards Shangguan Yuan, then said: "General Yuanyu may have misunderstood, but I think that the reason for Jiang Fan's Mother's future Provincial Capital is very likely because of Jiang Fan's Mother's own will, and is not related to Jiang Fan. Through the investigations of the brothers below, Jiang Fan is an extremely filial person, no matter how busy he is in the army, he would find time every month to go home and visit his mother. Furthermore, all the Salary that he has obtained from Xiao Shang's subordinates would all be handed over to his own mother." Shangguan Yuan was not convinced and asked, "How do you know all this?" Ai Jia laughed, "In Chang Ning Town, through the Jiang manor's servants and neighbors, it will not be difficult to find out everything about this place." After listening to Ai Jia's explanation, Shangguan Yuan also had nothing to say. After holding it in for a while, he mumbled to himself, "No matter what, Jiang Fan's loyalty is definitely in the wrong place. Now, he is a traitor to me, and also a sinner to me!" No one could deny this point. Ai Jia also nodded and sighed regretfully.
Since Jiang Fan's mother was not in the Zhangyu City, then if they wanted to capture her, it would be as easy as turning his hand. Ai Jia had also said that Jiang Fan was an extremely filial person, so he could use his mother as a threat, and have Jiang Fan surrender to him.
But then he thought, Tang Yin felt that it was not right. If he used his mother to force Jiang Fan to submit, even if he succeeded, he would only be able to threaten her for a short period of time. What should he do? After thinking for a while, Tang Yin suddenly asked: "Is Jiang Fan's Mother claiming to be a man of the wind or a man of the Peng?" He did not expect her to suddenly ask about this. Ai Jia was startled, and did not immediately answer, but Le Tian immediately answered: "Sir, according to what the servants of the Jiang manor have said, Jiang Fan's Mother has some complaints about Zhong Tian rebelling and becoming King on his own accord. He has also been angry a few times with Jiang Fan because of the matter of him joining the Peng Army!" "Oh, that's good." Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then said to Le Tian and Ai Jia: "Le Tian, Ai Jia, this time, the two of you will personally make a trip to Chang Ning Town to bring Jiang Fan's Mother to our army's main camp, and have Jiang Fan's Mother persuade Jiang Fan to submit to our army. "Also, after meeting Jiang Fan's Mother, you two must be polite, sincere, and not disrespectful, understand?" Understood! "My lord." Le Tian and Ai Jia both nodded in agreement. Xiao Muqing's eyes also lit up, he secretly admired Tang Yin's reaction speed, which surpassed his imagination. He had already thought of a way to resolve the issue after listening to Le Tian and Ai Jia's narration.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the tent. After a short while, the tassel came in and approached Tang Yin. He held the command arrow in both hands and handed it over to him. Tang Yin looked at the tassel, and seeing that its armor was neat and tidy, his face was brimming with energy. Feeling relieved, he accepted the command arrow and said with a smile, "General Tsai, thank you for your hard work." "Is that the situation on your side?" This made the other side mistakenly think that the Heavenly Eagle Army was the main force of the Wind Army. They immediately sent out Battle Invincible, Jiang Fan, and a few other generals to sneak attack the main camp of the Heavenly Abyss Army. On the other hand, the soldiers on the city walls were all strong men who had temporarily rebanded the troops. Their archery skills were not good, and as they shot arrows out from the top of the city walls, they originally held an advantage, but the truth was the opposite. The formation of arrows from the Peng Army was not dangerous to the Heavenly Eagle Army outside the city, and since the Heavenly Eagle Army did not approach the city, the rolling wood, stone, fireoil, and other things were all useless to them.
When Le Tian came over to give the order to retreat, the Heavenly Eagle Army had yet to formally fight the Peng Army on the city wall. After Le Tian left, Zi Ying did not waste anymore of his warriors' energy, and immediately passed down the order to the troops, the last group changing to the front, the entire army returning back to their own camp.
Seeing that they had decided to retreat before even attacking the city, Zhan Wushuang suddenly realized that something was amiss, and anxiously sent out spies to inquire about the situation over at Zhan Wudi's side.
Very quickly, the scouts brought back shocking and unbelievable news. Zhan Wudi's group had been ambushed by the Tianyuan Army and were trapped within the Tianyuan Army's main camp.
Aiya! After Zhan Wushuang heard these words, his vision went black and he almost fainted on the spot.
He had fallen into a trap! He was not only caught in the enemy's trap, he himself was also caught in the enemy's trap! There was no need to investigate any further, the enemy in front of them was definitely not Main Force of Feng Army. Leaving the camp and putting up a posture as if they were going to attack, they were only bluffing and were trying to confuse their own side.
Thinking about that, Zhan Wushuang started to sweat profusely, and immediately passed down an order, the enemy troops outside the city must not be allowed to escape unharmed, they immediately left the city to chase after him. By the time Peng Army had been chased out of the city according to Zhan Wushuang's orders, they had already returned to their own northern camp. Under Zi Ying's personal command, they closed up their Camp Gate, and either their troops went up to the walls of the stronghold or split up to guard the various strongholds and key points, waiting for the opportunity.
