Chapter 603

"The situation is not optimistic. The city is still in chaos, and everyone is trying to find clues to the treasure.

The bandits outside the city total nearly ten thousand. They are already preparing siege weapons.

They sent a message to Prefect Ling, demanding he hand over the treasure, or let them come in and take it. If he doesn't agree, they will attack Jiangling City."

Gu Hanyuan had an intelligence advantage,

and knew immediately that this was Zhao Min setting up a feint.

However, in order to cooperate with Zhao Min,

he had no intention of exposing it.

He feigned solemnity and said:

"Has Madam Guo discussed a countermeasure with Prefect Ling?"

Huang Rong pondered for a moment and said:

"Although we cannot get support from the imperial court, I have already sent a letter back to the Beggar Sect in Xiangyang, and Elder Lu will bring troops to support us in a few days.

Now, we just need to delay until they arrive. Once they arrive, we will have enough manpower to suppress them, and we can force those scattered martial arts people to help defend the city."

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

It seemed Huang Rong had made arrangements early on.

It's just that it seemed she wouldn't make it in time.

He raised an eyebrow and asked:

"How does Madam Guo plan to delay?"

Huang Rong had no intention of hiding it,

and said with a frown:

"Although the groups of bandits outside the city have all been won over by the Mongol Yuan, they are not subordinate to each other, and some were even originally hostile. They don't get along very well.

I have already contacted the family fortress forces that have a grudge against the strongest group of bandits to raid their lair.

Now that the main force of that group of bandits is in Jiangling City and their lair is empty, there is absolutely no reason for the other side not to agree.

Regardless of whether that group of bandits returns to save them, there will definitely be friction between the groups of bandits whose relationship is already delicate. Even if they don't kick them while they are down, they won't be able to work together to attack Jiangling City.

As for the experts of the Mongol Yuan..."

Huang Rong suddenly paused,

and blinked at Gu Hanyuan with a beautiful smile:

"With Young Master Gu, whose divine arts are unparalleled, how could it be my turn to worry?"

That moment of coquettishness

was full of youthful feeling.

Gu Hanyuan couldn't help but sigh at the charm of this spirit of heaven and earth.

Her beauty was moving in every smile and frown.

He praised sincerely:

"Madam Guo is not only as beautiful as a fairy and stunningly beautiful, but also has divine strategies. I admire you."

The words made Huang Rong feel shy,

her jade face radiant.

She lowered her gaze,

not daring to look Gu Hanyuan in the eye,

but didn't notice the strange smile on his face.

Normally,

Huang Rong's strategy was feasible.

Unfortunately, first, Gu Hanyuan hadn't informed Huang Rong of Zhao Min's intelligence,

and second, there was Gu Hanyuan's own pushing and full cooperation involved.

It was equivalent to saying Huang Rong had been sold by him before the fight even started.

Based on the asymmetry in intelligence,

Huang Rong not only lost Gu Hanyuan, her biggest helper,

but was also one step behind Zhao Min.

Sure enough, before Huang Rong could recover from her shyness,

a servant from the Ling residence came to report an emergency.

The two looked at each other,

and hurried to the main hall.

Besides the gloomy-looking Ling Tuisi,

they saw Bai Wanjian pacing back and forth in a hurry.

Huang Rong asked in surprise upon seeing this:

"Bai Daxia, what is this?"

Bai Wanjian was overjoyed to see the two arrive:

"Young Master Gu, Junior Sister Hua has been captured!"

Gu Hanyuan asked with a solemn expression upon hearing this:

"Bai Daxia, what is going on?"

Bai Wanjian beat his chest and stamped his feet:

"The four uncles have rebelled, they tricked Junior Sister Hua away."

Huang Rong was stunned:

"Why didn't Wang Xiaofeng come to report?"

Bai Wanjian asked in confusion:

"Wang Xiaofeng?"

Huang Rong had already sensed something fishy,

but still explained:

"That is the disciple of Hero Dai. He suddenly came to the door and said he felt the four seniors of the Snow Mountain Sect were a bit strange and wanted me to be more careful. Seeing him volunteer, I let him go and monitor them."

Bai Wanjian was stunned:

"... You sent someone to monitor them?"

Huang Rong bit her thin lip,

having a bad premonition,

and said slowly:

"Yes, Young Master Gu discovered early on that the four had strange expressions and the possibility of rebellion."

Gu Hanyuan took over the conversation,

and said regretfully:

"Put that way, Wang Xiaofeng should have rebelled too."

Sure enough, at this moment, another person broke in,

it was Dai.

He said anxiously with an annoyed expression:

"Wang Xiaofeng tricked Sheng'er away."

Huang Rong sighed:

"As expected."

Everyone explained the cause and effect to Dai.

Dai was furious:

"I want to catch this rebellious disciple and clean up the sect!"

Wang Xiaofeng was not only Dai's disciple,

but also his nephew.

From this, one could see how furious Dai was about his rebellion.

Gu Hanyuan saw that everything was going according to plan.
