Chapter 344: Jiang Ziya's layout, looking for a predestined person

Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops, which solved Xiqi's predicament.

The next day.

Xiqi scouts reported that Wen Zhong simply withdrew his troops and did not take any other action at all.

The generals of Xiqi gathered together to discuss what to do next.

Most of the opinions were to strengthen Xiqi's defense and then transport food from various places to prevent Wen Zhong from attacking again.

In terms of strength on paper, Xiqi's strength was not as good as the army led by Wen Zhong, so no one dared to say they would pursue.

Jiang Ziya had been listening to the discussion of the generals and had no opinion at all.

What he was thinking about now was how to lead troops out of Xiqi to surrender to Wen Zhong.

Seeing that the generals could not come up with any conclusion, Ji Fa looked at Jiang Ziya and asked.

"Father-in-law, Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops, so the plan we prepared before cannot be implemented. The two immortals from Father-in-law's sect might have made a wasted trip."

Jiang Ziya now wished to send away Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao, so that it would be possible to implement the plan of leading troops from Xiqi to surrender to Wen Zhong.

Then, make up an excuse that he was kidnapped, and take the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's interior.

He believed that Wen Zhong would report to Di Xin when he returned to Chaoge, and he would be heavily rewarded and promoted.

Hearing Ji Fa's inquiry, Jiang Ziya pondered slightly and said calmly: "Martial King, rest assured, I will talk to my two senior brothers."

"Then I will trouble Father-in-law."

The discussion ended, and Jiang Ziya returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just as he was thinking about how to contact Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao.

"At that time, the two senior brothers told me that when I needed help, they would appear themselves. It seems I can only wait for the two senior brothers to come and see me."

Having recovered his memory, Jiang Ziya now just wanted to give up.

He planned to turn off the lights and go to sleep as soon as it got dark.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the room, which startled Jiang Ziya.

"Ziya, don't be afraid, it's us." While speaking, Ju Liusun waved his hand, and the oil lamp on the table lit up again.

Seeing that it was Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao, Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ziya has seen the two senior brothers." Jiang Ziya bowed slightly and cupped his hands in a salute.

The Great Master Lingbao nodded: "Ziya, we saw Wen Zhong suddenly withdraw his troops, so we came over. Did something happen?"

Jiang Ziya's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Senior Brother, this matter is quite strange. Wen Zhong's army came menacingly and had the upper hand. Xiqi has been besieged for several months, and the food cannot last for a few more days. I don't know why Wen Zhong suddenly ordered a withdrawal of troops. I am confused about this."

Ju Liusun narrowed his eyes, thoughtful: "Wen Zhong has always been decisive. Withdrawing troops so hurriedly this time, something must have happened, or he received some emergency order."

Jiang Ziya just wanted to find a reason to convince the two not to suspect him, so as to avoid being discovered that he had recovered his memory.

He did not expect Ju Liusun to follow his words.

He nodded slightly and pretended to say in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Ju Liusun is right, but this change came suddenly, we still need to investigate more to prevent any tricks."

The Great Master Lingbao thought for a moment: "That's right, Ziya, you should give orders to let the soldiers not relax their vigilance, to prevent Wen Zhong from making a comeback. We will go and investigate first, and then make a decision when we come back."

Jiang Ziya cupped his hands, acting very naturally: "I will trouble the two senior brothers, I will arrange things here in Xiqi."

Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao did not think much and their figures turned into streams of light and disappeared.

Jiang Ziya straightened his body and wiped away a drop of sweat.

It seems that he has fooled Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao for now.

The matter of defecting from Xiqi and going to join Wen Zhong must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu stopped contemplating the Creation Jade Disk, just came out of the cave, and walked into the courtyard, when he saw the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit sitting at the stone table.

"Senior Sister Fire Spirit, why are you here?" Gu Xiu walked up.

"Junior Brother, you are out. I heard from Yang Chan that your seclusion usually takes several days, and I was thinking that if you didn't come out, I would have to go to your cave to find you."

Gu Xiu smiled humbly: "Senior Sister is joking."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled beautifully: "I won't tease you anymore. The disciples in Xiqi sent back news that Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops from Xiqi and retreated to Si Shui Pass. The matter is quite abnormal, so my master specifically asked me to come and inform you in person."

Gu Xiu did not expect that his casual move would be taken so seriously by Duobao, who specifically sent the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit to inform him.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for coming to inform me. I know about this matter."

"That's it?" Seeing that Gu Xiu had no reaction at all, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit felt a bit bored.

"How does Senior Sister think I should react?"

"Shouldn't you express your own opinion on this matter?"

Gu Xiu pretended to ponder.

"That's right, Senior Sister, go back and tell Uncle Duobao that Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops because he knew that the Twelve Golden Immortals had arrived in Xiqi, so he temporarily retreated to Si Shui Pass to avoid their sharpness, and will make plans after the situation becomes clear."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit frowned slightly, her face full of curiosity: "How do you know?"

Gu Xiu sold a pass and smiled: "Senior Sister, I can't say for now, just tell Uncle Duobao my words."

"Fine, don't say it then. I will tell my master your words exactly as they are when I go back. If my master doesn't buy it, don't blame me for not speaking well of you."

Watching the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit leave, Gu Xiu shook his head.

Withdrawing his gaze, he pondered the current situation.

"The Chan Sect has left a backhand in Xiqi. Even if Wen Zhong doesn't withdraw his troops, he won't be able to take Xiqi. I don't know if letting Jiang Ziya re-browse the content on the Great Dao Notebook will work..."

Then, he looked at the Primordial world and frowned slightly.

"I have to do something. Forget it, I've been staying on the Three Immortals Island for a long time and haven't been out for a long time. Why not go out for a walk and find a predestined person."

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu turned into a stream of light and flew away from the Three Immortals Island.

Jinao Island.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit returned from the Three Immortals Island and immediately went to find Daoist Duobao.

"Master, I am back."

Daoist Duobao was meditating and cultivating in the dojo and noticed the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit coming in.

He opened his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Fire Spirit is back, what did Gu Xiu say?"

"He said that Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops because he knew that the Twelve Golden Immortals had arrived in Xiqi, and knowing he was no match, he temporarily retreated to Si Shui Pass and would make plans after the situation became clear."

Daoist Duobao pondered slightly: "How did he know?"

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit shook her head: "Gu Xiu didn't say."

Daoist Duobao smiled: "It seems that Wen Zhong's sudden withdrawal of troops is related to Gu Xiu."

"Related to Gu Xiu? I asked this guy, but he didn't mention it at all."

Daoist Duobao shook his head gently and smiled: "Such a simple matter, you couldn't think of it. Remember to think more when you encounter things in the future, don't be so rash."

"I know, Master. The matter you ordered has been completed, so I won't disturb you." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit hurriedly found an excuse to leave, not wanting to stay here and be nagged. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
