Chapter 16 Panic Wang Meng

After thinking about it, Qin Ze planned to accumulate points for two more days and exchange them for a light cavalry.

Black Tiger Village is located in a low-lying area in Shuangqi Mountain, where there is a flat plain. If the infantry charges, it will be too slow to win with one blow.

On flat ground, there is no more effective unit than cavalry. Unfortunately, there are only more than a thousand light cavalry, which is not enough.

But two days later, he had more than 700,000 points, and he could form a raiding force and resolve the battle quickly.

It just so happens that these two days can allow the army to rest and recuperate. When they are full of energy, they can take down Black Tiger Village in one go!

Immediately, Qin Ze ordered the army to rest here that night.

the other side.

In Black Tiger Village.

A bandit reported to Wang Meng in a hurry:

"Boss! Oops! Qingfeng Village has been destroyed!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Meng was shocked, with a surprised look on his face.

"Nonsense! How is that possible!"

"Within Beichuan, where are the soldiers and horses that can destroy Qingfeng Village!"

His subordinates quickly said: "Boss, several of our brothers have seen it. Qingfeng Village was filled with flames and shouts of killing. The smell of burning corpses makes me feel sick just thinking about it now!"

"They were really wiped out!"

Wang Meng's eyes narrowed, and several thoughts suddenly occurred in his mind.

After King Zhenbei settled in Shifeng City, Zhu Fuyan definitely said that he was going to kill King Zhenbei. He also said that news of killing Queen Zhenbei would be spread immediately.

But after waiting for him for two days, there was still no news.

It is precisely because of this that he sent his men to find out the truth.

Now it is said that Qingfeng Village has been destroyed. It seems that Langtou Village, which has lost news, may have encountered an accident two days ago!

Otherwise, why has no news come out so far? He knows Zhu Fu's character very well.

The more Wang Meng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

A terrible guess came to his mind. Although he didn't want to believe it, the facts before him told him that this guess was correct.

"Does King Zhenbei have a large army of soldiers and horses in his hands?" Wang Meng murmured with a pale face.

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Boss! Absolutely!"

"My brothers and I heard shouts of killing from a distance. There must be a large group of soldiers coming up the mountain!"

"We stayed there for a long time, but we didn't see anyone from Qingfeng Village running down the mountain. They... they must have been surrounded by a large group of people! The whole army was wiped out!"

"Boss, will he come to our village next? How should we deal with it?"

Wang Meng was in a daze and full of doubts.

[I will only reveal one piece of news to you. The imperial court did not give him any troops. King Zhenbei came to Beiliang this time and only brought 800 of his own soldiers. 】

Zhao Yuan's words have been lingering in Wang Hai's mind at this moment.

He has known Zhao Yuan for a long time. It can be said that Black Tiger Village can develop to what it is today only with the support of Zhao Yuan.

And he also helped Zhao Yuan do a lot of things.

He robbed the people of their money and food, and handed over most of it to Zhao Yuan. He secretly followed Zhao Yuan's orders and robbed and killed the officers and soldiers who did not deal with him.

It was like he was Zhao Yuan's secret thug, helping him do those dirty things, which allowed him to smoothly reach his current position of commanding the army.

"Zhao Tongjun has no reason to give me false news? Why is this?"

"Did Qin Ze really train the people in the city into an army in just a few days?"

Wang Meng muttered to himself.

The subordinates on the side quickly reminded: "Boss, should we respond early?"

Only then did Wang Meng come back to his senses.

"Yes! Let the brothers closely monitor the movements outside the stronghold in the past few days! Prepare fortifications in the stronghold to prevent incoming attacks!"

"It's the boss!"

After his men left, Wang Meng paced back and forth, feeling increasingly uneasy.

After thinking again and again, he called several of his men with strong martial arts skills in the village and rushed to Beiyuan City overnight.

........

Beiyuan City.

Tongjun Mansion.

Zhao Yuan was sleeping peacefully with his concubine in his arms when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Zhao Yuan, who was woken up by the sound, was furious. No one had ever dared to wake him up at this time!

Zhao Yuan jumped up from the bed, took a knife and kicked the door open.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Wang Meng's smiling face appearing in front of him.

"Wang Meng! Why are you here! What are you doing in the middle of the night!" Zhao Yuan shouted angrily.

"Sir, I have something important to report. The matter is so important that I have to come all night!" Wang Meng forced out an ugly smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan knew clearly that Qin Ze had been killed, so he reported it overnight.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's anger couldn't help but fade a lot.

"Is it about King Zhenbei?" he said calmly.

"Exactly!" Wang Meng replied hurriedly.

Zhao Yuan nodded, "Yes, I understand. It was done well. Let's go back."

As Zhao Yuan was about to go back to his room, Wang Meng hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yuan and said anxiously:

"Sir, Langtou Village and Qingfeng Village were wiped out by King Zhenbei!!"

After the words fell, Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, stared at Wang Meng, and said in a deep voice:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

When Wang Meng saw Zhao Yuan's expression, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was afraid that Zhao Yuan had deliberately released false news and was secretly conspiring with Qin Ze to suppress the bandits.

Therefore, he specially brought a few men with strong martial arts skills in the village. If he found out that Zhao Yuan really had evil intentions, he would take him back to the village.

At the moment, it seems that I am worrying too much.

He said in a deep voice:

"Sir, what I said is true. My men witnessed the destruction of Qingfeng Village by King Zhenbei with my own eyes! There is absolutely no lie!"

"As for the Langtou Village, after I returned from the city that day, I conveyed the news you told Zhu Fu. Zhu Fu sent someone to Shifeng City that night. However, since that night, there has been no more Langtou Village. News.”

"If it wasn't King Zhenbei who wiped them out, then who was it?"

Zhao Yuan was shocked and confused when he saw that what Wang Meng said was reasonable and well-founded.

"I personally led Qin Ze into Shifeng City. He only brought 800 soldiers. How could he destroy Langtou Village and Qingfeng Village!"

"These two cottages have tens of thousands of troops. How is this possible?"

Seeing that Zhao Yuan still didn't believe it, Wang Meng shook his head and begged:

"Sir, no matter what, Qin Ze definitely has a large force right now. Now that both cottages have been wiped out, his next target will probably be us."

"They are in Qingfeng Village now. If they attack us in the next few days, what should we do? Sir, you have to help us!"

Zhao Yuan stroked his beard gently, thoughtfully in his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan didn't reply, Wang Meng hurriedly said:

"Sir, I, Wang Meng, have done a lot for you over the years! You can't just ignore me and let him lead troops to attack my stronghold!"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yuan raised his brows and looked at Wang Meng with a hint of imperceptible chill in his eyes.

He rolled his eyes and said:

"okay, I get it."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to find out the truth. If there is really a large group of people, I will help you deal with it. You can go back! I will ensure that nothing happens to you in Black Tiger Village."

Wang Meng was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, sir, thank you!"

With that said, Wang Meng led several of his men over the courtyard wall and left the mansion.

Looking at their leaving figures, Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and his eyes were cold...
