Chapter 317 Is the Divine Wandering Realm very strong? I have 4 soldiers!
In a cave forty or fifty miles outside Lingnan City, Wen Hujiu said with disdain:
"Haha, so what if you're a general? You're still just a frog in a well, a mayfly in the ocean!"
"Don't even mention Mr. Li. Even if I'm just a master who has reached the half-step divine journey, it wouldn't be difficult for me to slaughter tens of thousands of your soldiers!"
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and had no intention of paying any more attention to the officers in front of him.
"Oh? If that's true, then why did the two world-renowned Sword Immortals and Confucian Immortals both perish when Baili Luochen attacked Western Chu? They weren't just at the level of Half-Step Divine Wandering, were they?"
"No matter how strong a warrior is, he cannot compete with a nation! No matter how skilled Li Changsheng is, a single sword strike can only kill a dozen people, and a single palm strike can only knock down two city gates. Do you know how huge a battle it would be to have a hundred thousand soldiers arrayed before him?"
"You warriors, you worship force too much. If that were true, then the one sitting firmly on the throne of Apocalypse City should be the strongest warrior in the world! But in reality, the current emperor doesn't know a single move... hehe!"
"Warm the pot of wine. There's an old saying that goes, 'He who knows the current situation is a hero.' If you can convince the Wen family to wholeheartedly submit to Dali, I can guarantee your family will be rich and prosperous for life!"
A mocking smile appeared on Wenhujiu's lips, and then his lips moved: "Hehe..."
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat accurately onto Su Xin's forehead!
"Warming a pot of wine, you're looking for death!"
Su Xin shouted angrily, and raised his hand to pull out a long sword from the waist of the guard beside him.
The blade hit Wen Hujiu's chest directly, and Su Xin, in a rage, almost stabbed the blade into Wen Hujiu's chest.
Su Xin's whole body was trembling, but his remaining rationality made him put down the knife, and then he raised his hand to wipe the thick phlegm from his forehead.
He rubbed his hand on the lower collar of the guard beside him, and lifted the silver python skin that was slightly drooping on his mouth and nose, and said in a slightly softer tone:
"Warming the pot of wine, you are considered a well-mannered gangster, you wouldn't be so ignorant, right?"
"There's never a good ending to going against the imperial court!"
"I'll give you a day to think it over. If you're still stubborn, I'll have the crossbowmen ambushing around the Wen family use rockets to burn this century-old brand to the ground!"
After saying that, Su Xin put the knife back into the guard's scabbard and left the cave without looking back.
Just as Wen Yanzhao rushed back to Lingnan from Qiandong Yufeng, the Lingnan garrison also began to take action.
Elite infantry surrounded Lingnan City on all sides, and anyone entering or leaving had to verify their identity, otherwise they would be arrested directly;
Two thousand archers, equipped with saltpeter, sulfur, and tung oil, took advantage of the night and quietly sneaked into a position less than two miles away from the Wen family.
They didn't dare to get too close. After all, no one wanted to taste the world-famous poison of the Wen family.
But they also absolutely believed that even though the Wen family was famous for their poison, they could not resist the overwhelming rockets!
Finally, Su Xin sent out all the sentries and scouts in the camp, and asked them to spread out with the Wen family as the center, so as to discover the trace of Wen Yanzhao's return as soon as possible.
Only after everything was arranged did Su Xin feel a little relieved.
Su Xin was no fool. He was able to rise from a flag officer of the Lu Bin Army in the early years of Taihe to the general of Lingnan. He definitely did not get to the position by flattery and currying favor with others.
He is not only meticulous and ruthless, but also has the slickness and commercialism of a veteran soldier.
This allowed him to gradually stand out in his military career, gain the attention of his superiors and climb to a high position.
At this moment, Su Xin, who was forcing Wen Hujiu to surrender in the cave, looked contemptuous, but he had the power to kill Wen Hujiu, the prisoner, in his hands.
But in fact, he knew very well that the Wen family was more powerful than just a cunning family, and he also knew a little about Wen Yanzhao's abilities.
……
Wenhujiu's face was full of joy, if for no other reason than that he had just spit out a really round spit!
"Alas, I don't have Zhao'er's invulnerable physique, otherwise this old phlegm would be enough to kill that bastard Su Xin!"
"Zhao'er, my uncle is so cold and hungry... Damn Su Xin poisoned me with the Heavenly Fragrance Mandragora. I don't know where he got it from. Even our Wen family's Detoxification and Mitigation Powder is ineffective..."
After Su Xin left, Wen drank the pot of wine and muttered to himself with a sad face.
What Wen Hujiu didn't know was that the cave where he was imprisoned was not just an ordinary cave.
In order to be on the safe side, Su Xin specially sent hundreds of local Lingnan soldiers to consult with local herbal farmers and bamboo shoot farmers in the mountains.
I just learned from an old man named Li that this cave is hidden in the ground and it would be difficult to find it if you are not a local.
Moreover, the interior is full of twists and turns, and there are many forks in the road, making it easy to get lost.
"You bastard, how many doses of Tianxiang Mandragora did you give me? It's been a whole day, why hasn't my internal strength recovered yet?"
"Dead Hand, give me some force!"
Wenhujiu clenched his fists tightly, trying to break the chains on his arms with brute force.
But no matter how hard he tried, the chain rattled, but it remained as solid as a rock.
……
The Wen family compound is far away from Lingnan City, built on Xiqiao Mountain four or five miles away from the city.
The mountain was covered with lush green trees, with layers of lush greenery covering the entire Wen family compound. However, this also gave Su Xin a good opportunity to hide from the crossbowmen.
Wen Lie was dressed in black and had sharp eyes. He was standing on one leg on the roof of the main hall of the Wen family and gazing into the distance.
With his cultivation level, he could see everything within ten miles clearly.
"Team one, team two, team three..."
Wen Lie looked around and found some sneaky soldiers hiding in the shade of trees and grass.
The white light reflected from the shiny cowhide surface of the quivers on their backs just exposed their position.
"Think of the head but not the butt!"
Wen Lie spat, turned over and jumped off the roof and went straight into the main hall.
Wen Lin was wearing a black robe. With his back to the door, he looked up at the painting "Hundred Boats on Dongting Lake" on the wall, which was given by his old relative, and was lost in thought.
This painting was created by the painting master Wu Daoxuan. It was obtained by chance when Baili Luochen conquered the capital of Western Chu.
Later, on the wedding day of Baili Chengfeng and Wen Luoyu, Baili Luochen specially presented this painting to Wen Lin to show their eternal friendship.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Wen Lin's snow-white eyebrows moved and he turned around.
Wen Lie walked through the main hall and knelt on one knee:
"Master, Su Xin has sent seven teams of archers to surround us."
Wen Lin said "hmm" and waved his hand to signal Wen Lie to leave.
Wen Lie was puzzled and asked:
"Master, two thousand crossbowmen are not that easy to deal with. Besides, we in the Wen family only have me, Uncle Ping, Uncle Zhang Liu, and Aliang to protect you. It's good enough if the others can protect themselves!"
"you……"
Wen Lin's face was calm, he just whispered:
"It doesn't matter. They captured Jiu'er to use this as a bargaining chip. I guess it's probably related to Zhao'er!"
"Things are different now. Zhao'er and my old in-laws have turned the southwestern half of the country upside down. The old emperor can no longer tolerate this!"
"Go and inform everyone that no one is allowed to move without my permission. Everything will be settled after Zhao'er comes back!"
Wen Lie had no choice but to stand up and respond:
"As ordered."
